Lin Ruoxin bit her lip hard and said disdainfully, "What's so difficult about medicine? I've been playful since I was little and don't like to work hard on this. If I read a few books seriously, I will definitely become famous in the capital!"

The noble lady couldn't help but laugh. "Lin Ruoxin, look how proud you are! If you can cure the two little princes' illnesses, you will not only be famous in the capital, but also in the entire Sheng Dynasty. Then what will Lin Yiwan have to do with her?"

Lin Ruoxin's eyes lit up. What a great opportunity to turn things around!

If she can cure the little prince's illness, she will be the emperor's benefactor. If she wants to enter the palace as a concubine, wouldn't that be within her grasp?

Thinking of this, she no longer had the heart to go shopping.

She said goodbye to the lady and quickly ran back to the small courtyard she was temporarily renting.

Inside the house, Lin Huanchen was arguing with the old lady: "Wait, wait, wait, how long are you going to make me wait? The money I have now is only enough for one meal a day. Do you want to starve me to death?"

The old lady advised, "First, let Xin'er make friends outside. As long as she can meet someone of honor, won't it be just a matter of time before we all live a rich and prosperous life?"

Lin Huanchen interrupted angrily, "That's enough! Stop making empty promises. I don't think she's capable of this. You might as well marry her off to an ordinary family and earn some money to get by!"

Lin Ruoxin strode up to him and said with a grim expression, "Who said I don't have this ability? I see a good opportunity right in front of me. As long as I take advantage of it, I can become the benefactor of the current emperor and enter the palace as a concubine. It's easy for me!"

Lin Huanchen put his hand on her forehead and asked in surprise, "Don't you have a high fever? Why are you talking nonsense?"

Lin Ruoxin angrily said, "I'm not talking nonsense. I really have a plan. I heard that Lin Yiwan wants to treat the emperor's two sons. What do you think? If I steal the medicine she made and then put some of the ineffective medicine back, wouldn't I become the savior of the little princes?"

The old lady's eyes lit up. She thought her granddaughter was very smart.

Lin Huanchen still had some rationality and was not overwhelmed by these unrealistic words.

He couldn't help but pour cold water on her: "With you? How could you get close to her and steal the medicine? Are you just imagining things?"

Lin Ruoxin couldn't help but roll her eyes. Her father was really incompetent except for questioning her.

If he had a better brain, she wouldn't have ended up living in this shabby little yard.

The Lin Mansion is so spacious!

Even the guest house is decorated in a very luxurious style.

A delicate beauty like her should live in there.

She lowered her voice and said, "Do you think I've been hanging around in the capital for nothing these past few days? I don't have the ability to steal, but I can hire someone. It doesn't cost a lot of money to find a thief on the black market!"

Lin Huanchen blinked, thinking that his daughter's idea was really good.

He urged impatiently: "Then what are you still standing there for? Go and hire someone!"

Lin Ruoxin stretched out her hand towards the old lady: "Grandma, take the money!"

The old lady's cheek twitched. She really had no money left.

Although I have been saving money these days, there is only expenditure and no income.

In order to dress Lin Ruoxin decently, she pawned several of her own jewelry, and now she is really short of money.

She couldn't help but ask, "Xin'er, can we buy on credit?"

Lin Ruoxin frowned and interrupted: "No, you treat this as an ordinary business, and you're even selling on credit. For such a shameful thing, you have to pay them enough money before they are willing to work hard for you!"

The old lady helplessly spread her hands and said, "I really don't have much money left. How about selling those jewelry and clothes you just bought?"

Lin Ruoxin refused. She frowned and turned around to see her little sister Lin Xiaoruan looking out the door.

She spoke without hesitation: "Grandma, I have an idea. We can sell Xiaoruan first, and then redeem her when we have money?"

The old lady looked hesitant, but Lin Huanchen thought it was a good idea.

He narrowed his eyes and said, "Xiaoruan is a pretty girl. If she were sold to an ordinary family as a maid, the price would definitely be low. It would be better to sell her to a brothel and get more money back!"

Lin Ruoxin nodded hurriedly: "Father is right, as long as our plan succeeds, I will become the imperial concubine in the palace. If you want to take Xiaoruan back, you don't have to return the money!"

The old lady actually wanted to ask, what if the plan fails?

Will Xiaoruan never come back?

However, when the words came to her lips, she swallowed them back!

She must be optimistic and believe that there will be a good outcome in the end.

She took a deep breath and said through gritted teeth, "Okay, let's do as you say. Huanchen will go to the flower house to discuss the price first, and I will persuade Xiaoruan!"

At this time, Lin Xiaoruan didn't know that her father, sister and grandmother were planning to sell her to a brothel. She was hesitating to ask when she could have dinner.

She was so hungry that her chest was sticking to her back.

Fortunately, the old lady finally saw her. She smiled lovingly and waved at her: "Xiaoruan, come in quickly. Grandma will give you some snacks!"

When Lin Xiaoruan heard that there would be snacks, she immediately jumped into the house.

She swallowed hard and asked, "Grandma, do you really have any snacks?"

The old lady reached out and rubbed the top of her head. "When has grandma ever lied to you? This is your favorite brown sugar cake. Take a big bite!"

Lin Xiaoruan reached out to take it, but didn't put it into her mouth.

She gave it to Lin Ruoxin directly: “Sister, eat first!”

Lin Ruoxin's expression froze for a moment, and she murmured unnaturally after a moment: "Sister, are you not hungry yet? Xiaoruan likes brown sugar cakes the most. This is made by your grandmother, eat it quickly!"

Lin Xiaoruan finally couldn't resist the temptation of the snacks, and before her saliva started to flow out, she quickly stuffed the brown sugar cake into her mouth.

Because it was to be given to Doctor Lin, the old lady put quite a lot of fillings in it, including brown sugar and some chopped walnut kernels.

The sweet taste made Lin Xiaoruan squint her eyes happily. She whispered, "Grandma's brown sugar cakes are so delicious!"

The old lady's smile deepened, and she asked tentatively: "Xiaoruan, grandma and sister are in trouble now, are you willing to help?"

Lin Xiaoruan ate the brown sugar cake and nodded vigorously: "I am willing, grandma, please tell me!"

When the old lady saw her innocent little face, she was speechless.

It was Lin Ruoxin who spoke first: "Xiaoruan, are you willing to let our family live a good life and let my sister enter the palace to become a noble concubine?"

Lin Xiaoruan quickly said vaguely: "Of course!"

Lin Ruoxin immediately grabbed her wrist and said, "Then I have no choice but to sell you for some silver. That way I can have enough money to hire someone to steal the medicine from Lin Yiwan!"
