Lin Zhiyue's face immediately hardened. "What do you mean by that? Are you questioning me?"

Qin Shuangshuang's expression changed slightly, and she explained, "That's not what I meant. I just happened to hear about this news..."

"You know how angry Mother was after this happened. She was determined to make me divorce you and remarry."

This really hurt her deeply, and I didn't want to keep going against her wishes, so I reluctantly agreed...

Upon hearing that this was true, Qin Shuangshuang's face turned ugly. That old hag was indeed no good!

She had only been away from the Lin family for a short time, yet she was already urging Zhiyue to remarry. It was truly hateful!

“I didn’t agree at first either. You know that in my heart, no girl can compare to you. But you know that Sun Yan’er is Song Ruozhen’s cousin,” Lin Zhiyue said.

Qin Shuangshuang frowned. "Husband, what do you mean?"

"Madam Song and Madam Sun are sisters, and the reason why the Sun family has been able to live so comfortably all these years is inseparable from the Song family's care."

I've heard that the Sun family often tries to extort money from the Song family, and whatever they want, Madam Song has to give them. I think that even if we manage to return to the court thanks to the Third Prince, this eight million taels of silver will still be a problem.

"If Sun Yan'er were born, the two families would be considered to have formed a marriage alliance, and perhaps all of this could be wiped clean!"

Lin Zhiyue felt that his plan was absolutely perfect!

It was just that Donna, a woman, came into the house and was able to wipe out so many debts in one fell swoop, much faster than he could have figured it out himself.

Qin Shuangshuang hadn't expected Lin Zhiyue to have such an idea. Thinking about it carefully, the Sun family could indeed be considered parasites of the Song family.

In her previous life, after Song Ruozhen married into the Lin family, she often witnessed this lively scene. Moreover, Sun Yan'er was domineering, and Song Ruozhen could only be bullied by her.

As long as Sun Yan'er and Madam Sun make a scene, the Song family will surely not be able to get their money back!

But the thought of Lin Zhiyue taking a concubine made her unhappy.

In his previous life, Zhiyue never took a concubine or remarried for her sake, and she was his only woman in his entire life. Why is everything different now that he has been reborn?

Seeing the displeasure on Qin Shuangshuang's face, Lin Zhiyue coaxed her, "Isn't this all for our own good? Do you want Song Ruozhen to come after you every time you go to her?"

This is just a plan; once the money issue is resolved, we'll find an excuse to kick her out.

"Really?" Qin Shuangshuang's eyes lit up.

Lin Zhiyue was overjoyed, knowing that the matter had been settled. "Of course, in my heart, no woman can compare to you."

Just as the two were talking, Old Madam Lin rushed over. As soon as she opened the door, she saw the two embracing, and a look of disgust flashed in her eyes.

"In broad daylight, they really have no shame!"

Qin Shuangshuang blushed and quickly distanced herself from Lin Zhiyue, saying obediently, "Mother-in-law, what brings you here?"

She'll put up with this for now, and once she gets close to the Third Prince, she'll find a way to kick her out. How dare she nitpick at her every little thing!

Old Mrs. Lin had the same thought at the moment: once Zhiyue returned to officialdom, she would divorce this wretched woman!

Not only is he a jinx, but he's also restless, cheating on Zhiyue and still having the nerve to come back!

"The Song siblings are here. Could they be here to collect a debt?" Old Mrs. Lin asked anxiously.

Upon hearing this, both Lin Zhiyue and Qin Shuangshuang's expressions changed. "What?"

At the same time, Song Jingshen looked around the Lin family's house and said, "This house isn't really that great. If we're going to take it over, we'll have to do some renovations."

It used to be a noble family mansion, but now it's fallen into such ruin. It's clear that if a family has useless members, it can only decline.

Song Ruozhen nodded, "That makes sense."

"Fifth Sister, what are your plans after you get this house back?"

“I’m thinking of buying it and turning it into a restaurant,” Song Ruozhen said thoughtfully. “Although it’s dilapidated, it’s quite large. If we renovate it properly, we can divide it into small courtyards.”

She had previously visited other restaurants in the capital, and while they were indeed doing well, even the private rooms on the second floor lacked privacy.

If such a restaurant were to be launched at this time, it would likely be the choice of many people.

Besides, she was originally a transmigrator from a book, and she had always enjoyed all kinds of food. She knew how to cook them by heart, so she had many more delicious recipes than the food available in the capital.

If we make it our signature dish, we won't have to worry about not having customers. As for the price, we can definitely raise it.

Hearing Song Ruozhen's words, Song Jingshen's eyes lit up. "That's a good idea. It seems my sister has done a lot of research while I was away!"

Song Ruozhen and Song Jingshen have always had a very good relationship, firstly because they are the closest in age, and secondly because they had previously done business together.

Many ideas were conceived by the two of them together, showing great tacit understanding. Often, one of them would say something, and the other would quickly grasp the meaning.

“Your idea is good. I’ve heard from friends that restaurants are too noisy and it’s not convenient to have a quiet conversation. And some things are not suitable to be discussed at home.”

"If we opened a restaurant like this, it would definitely be popular with many people, but the prices would have to be higher and the dishes would have to be more refined," Song Jingshen said.

Song Ruozhen nodded, "I've thought of those things too. The Lin family's courtyard is quite large, so it's very suitable."

When Lin Zhiyue and the others arrived, they saw Song Ruozhen and the others pointing and gesturing around the courtyard, and they immediately frowned.

What brings you here today?

Qin Shuangshuang couldn't contain her anger when she saw Song Ruozhen. If it weren't for her, she wouldn't have ended up in this situation!

Song Ruozhen glanced at Qin Shuangshuang indifferently. In just a few days, she looked much more haggard than before, which showed that life was really not easy for her after having an affair.

"Oh, I wonder if I should address her as Madam Lin or Miss Qin now?" Song Jingshen mocked.

Qin Shuangshuang's face turned ashen with anger; those words were truly venomous!

"Of course it's Madam Lin!"

Upon hearing this, Song Jingshen clicked his tongue and said, "Young Master Lin is truly magnanimous. I admire him greatly."

Lin Zhiyue: "..." It seemed like a compliment, but it was actually an insult calling him a coward, and he couldn't even refute it. How hateful!

"Fourth brother, you just got back so you don't know, but Young Master Lin is deeply in love with his wife. If it were anyone else, they would have divorced her long ago if they married such a jinx."

He's different; not only is he devoted, but he can even tolerate her having an affair.

Song Zhiyu looked at him with admiration, "It shows that as long as it's true love, you're willing to give anything."

“Indeed.” Song Jingshen strongly agreed.

Looking at the two equally annoying faces in front of her, mocking and ridiculing her in unison, Qin Shuangshuang was furious.

"This is a family matter of the Lin family, and it's none of your business! Get out of here now!"

"It's fine if you don't want to hear it, but it's not us who need to get out now, it's you!" Song Ruozhen said calmly.
