Transmigrated into a concubine, the main task is to make money

Chapter 172 Wedding Invitation

"Because of this incident, the old lady confiscated all of my mother's dowry, and took away all the shops and farms, and put them in charge of my father."

Lin Yuxi knew that the Second Madam's family was wealthy and her dowry must be generous. However, the old lady actually took away all of the Second Madam's dowry for such a thing. It was hard not to suspect the shady conspiracy behind this matter.

If a married woman is not favored, her dowry is the basis for her survival, but they ruthlessly snatched it away. It would be fine if the old lady had such thoughts, but even the eldest master... He is the second wife's husband!

A woman has lost her dowry and has someone more powerful than herself to put pressure on her. No wonder the second wife has to swallow her anger.

The Second Lady was such a gentle woman, but the Eldest Master treated her like this. Lin Yuxi's impression of the Eldest Master was greatly reduced. She thought the Eldest Master was a good man, so it seemed that the one who was calculating his wife's dowry must not be a good person.

What Lin Yuxi didn't know was that although the Second Madam's family was wealthy, they were ultimately merchants. When Master Jiang married the Second Madam to the First Madam, he saw the First Madam's future. After the First Madam passed the imperial examination, he also allocated a lot of money to help him get into an official career.

They were also angry at the master for being ungrateful, but they did not dare to offend him. After all, the master's official career was getting smoother and they would have to rely on him many times in the future.

Lin Yuxi thought that the matter was not simple. If it was a simple miscarriage, it would definitely not be involved in the second wife's dowry. I'm afraid this was a setup!

She suddenly felt very cold. She thought she was not stupid, but compared to those who grew up in house fighting, she was just a small shrimp, a junior rookie, otherwise she would not have fallen into the trap.

"My husband, I'm afraid! I hate living in calculations all day long. I just want to live a plain life, whether it's vegetables and salted fish, or a thatched house or a humble house, as long as the family is safe and happy, that's all."

She grabbed Yang Chenchuan's collar, "If one day, I can't stand it here, would you be willing to take me away? Travel around the mountains and rivers, away from all these fights and disputes."

Yang Chenchuan met her eager eyes, as if a stream of clear water ran through his heart. He also longed for a free and unrestrained life. He stared at her lovingly and said without hesitation: "Okay! As long as you want, I'm willing."

This is his promise to her.

Lin Yuxi hugged him and smiled sweetly.

"You've been tired all day, go to sleep!" Yang Chenchuan kissed her forehead and coaxed her to sleep.

Too many things happened that day, and Lin Yuxi was indeed tired. She closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

Her physical condition was still good. When she woke up the next day, apart from the burning pain in the wound and heartburn all over her body, she had no symptoms of fever. Even so, Yang Chenchuan still locked her in the room for two days.

Luyun and Cuiping were recovering from their injuries after being beaten with a stick. They were served by Chunlan and Qiuju, a newly promoted second-class maid. These two maids were both smart and brought her some great news.

Qiu Ju said seriously, "Madam, I saw this with my own eyes. That icy-faced girl has been lingering outside of Sister Luyun and Sister Cuiping's rooms these past two days. I don't know what she wants to do."

There is no doubt that the iceberg Qiu Ju mentioned is the man holding the sword.

"What else can I do? He must have fallen for Sister Luyun and Sister Cuiping. I don't know which one he likes. I heard that he is very good at swordsmanship. He can fight one against a hundred and be invincible in the world. It must be safe to marry a man like him." Chunlan added tea to Lin Yuxi and continued.

Lin Yuxi's eyes sparkled, gossip!

Red fruity gossip!

I really didn't expect that the cold-blooded sword-wielding man would be moved, but Lin Yuxi was still very happy. People like the sword-wielding man are cold on the outside but warm on the inside. If they are moved, they will be together for life.

She could see that Chi Jian was a trustworthy person.

If he really likes her maid, that would be a good thing. I just don't know which one of Luyun and Cuiping is more lucky.

She grinned and teased Chunlan: "What's the matter? You, October mustard greens - have you got any intention? Tell me, who do you like? I will make the decision for you, Madam."

"Young Madam..." Chunlan blushed immediately and stamped her feet in anger.

Lin Yuxi laughed happily. A little maid came outside to report, "Madam, someone sent you a wedding invitation. They said it was sent by your family."

Wedding invitation?

Is there a wedding coming up at home?

Could it be that Lin Yuling was getting married? Lin Yuxi still had a good impression of Lin Yuling. At least she had never caused any trouble for her.

When she took the wedding invitation handed to her by the maid and opened it, she was so upset that her mouth twitched.

This wedding invitation is actually from -- Mr. Lin!

He actually wants to marry Yi Qing as his concubine!

From the first glance, Lin Yuxi saw the ambiguity between the two. She had always thought that Master Lin would take her as a concubine, but she really didn't expect that he would want to marry her as a co-wife. She couldn't help but stare blankly, and after a while she asked: "Where is the person who sent the invitation?"

"The boy went back after sending her off. Does the young lady want to see him? He wasn't gone for long. How about I send someone to call him back?" the little maid replied.

Lin Yuxi shook her head and said, "That's all."

When people left, they left. Actually, she didn't have anything important to do. It was just that she hadn't been back for a long time, so she didn't know how the old lady and Mr. Lin were doing.

Lin Yuxi got up from her chair and walked to the window. It was already autumn and the weather was getting cooler. This was her first autumn here.

She watched as the leaves of the big tree in front of the window began to turn yellow, and a few leaves fell off in the wind.

Thinking of Liu, she knew that she had been locked up in a Buddhist temple by Master Lin for a month. After she came out, she went to the prison day and night, and she used large amounts of silver to bribe the jailers. Now that Liu's power as the head of the family had been taken away, the amount of silver she received every month was not much, which was not enough for her to squander.

When she didn't have enough money, she went to ask Mr. Lin for more. Mr. Lin turned a blind eye to it. After all, Lin Yuhe was his daughter, so it was understandable to spend some money to make her life easier in prison. So he gave in to her request a few times.

But Liu had no self-control at all. She would come to ask for hundreds of taels of silver every now and then. The Lin family had some wealth, but they could not tolerate her squandering money like this, so they cut off Liu's access to money.

Liu made trouble several times but got nothing in return. Fortunately, she had made a lot of money when she was in charge of the family, which she had originally saved for her old age. But for the sake of her beloved daughter, she gritted her teeth and didn't care about it.

Mr. Lin tried to persuade Liu several times, but Liu refused to listen. She accused Mr. Lin of being biased and cruel, and even said unpleasant things. Mr. Lin was so angry that he didn't bother to pay attention to her anymore.

Mr. Lin was annoyed by Liu's temper, and there happened to be the gentle and considerate Yi Qing who took care of him in every possible way, so he disliked Liu even more. The relationship between husband and wife of more than ten years was destroyed by Liu.
