Chapter 144 A Profitable Business
Chapter 144 A Profitable Business
Lin Shuning waved his hand and whispered to Lian'er who came over: "In a moment, you will distribute the money in my purse to the maids and servants in the mansion, and let them..."
Lian Er looked at Lin Shuning with admiration in her eyes: "Miss, you are so amazing. How did you come up with such a move? Now, we can finally let go of the anger in our hearts!"
"Go ahead." Lin Shuning smiled faintly.
"Yes, ma'am."
……
At the same time, on the other side, He was scratching his head and feeling uneasy.
The maidservant beside her looked at her in confusion and asked worriedly, "Auntie, what's wrong with you? Do you want me to ask a doctor to come and see you?"
"Look, look, what are you looking at!" He swept the teacup on the table to the ground and glared at her fiercely: "Useless things, get out! Get out!"
The little maid was startled and quickly retreated.
He's chest was filled with anger, her face flushed red from holding it in. "What's wrong with that little bitch? How can she see through all my thoughts? Now that fake pregnancy doesn't work, what can I do?"
Yuer's academic performance has just improved. If that incident were to be exposed, he would not be able to attend private school, let alone private school.
He had been arrogant and conceited since he was young. Once people knew that he was actually a child of an official family, he would probably die of shame and anger, let alone study.
He sat at the table anxiously, eyes full of resentment: "It's all that useless thing's fault. He couldn't even deal with a yellow-haired girl. Not only did he die, but he also left such a big hidden danger for me and my son. What a waste, all waste!"
Not long after, there were two knocks on the door: "Aunt, it's me."
He stroked her hair and said dejectedly, "Come in."
"Aunt, I found a way." Cui'e was eager to take credit as soon as she entered the room.
"What method?" He immediately became excited when she heard it, and grabbed her shoulders and asked hurriedly.
Cui'e was her other confidant, and she knew about her affair with Butler Song. Because of Lin Cheng, it was inconvenient for her to go out, so she could only entrust Cui'e to do it.
"Borrow money." Cui'e whispered two words.
He's hand dropped: "Nonsense, if I could find someone to borrow money from, wouldn't I have borrowed it a long time ago?"
"Aunt, it's not a literal meaning of borrowing money." Cui'e said in a deep tone and blinked suggestively.
He frowned. It was impossible for an ordinary family to take out this 1,000 taels of silver within three days, unless...
He's eyes were gloomy, and there was only one way left.
Borrow black money.
However, the interest charged for lending black money is extremely high. If you really cannot pay it back in the future, you will really have to pay with your life.
Thinking of this, He refused without hesitation: "No, absolutely not. Even if that matter is exposed, Yuer and I still have a way to survive, but if we borrow this black money and cannot pay it back, it will really be a dead end."
"Auntie, calm down and listen to me.
Think about it, you just paid back the borrowed 1,200 taels of silver to the master on behalf of the third young lady, so in the end, isn't it still yours?
It only takes a few days to go back and forth, and the interest is only five or six taels of silver. This little money can solve your current urgent needs. This is a business that can only make money and not lose money!"
Cui'e analyzed it carefully with a serious look on her face.
He listened and actually felt that it was true. She lowered her voice and asked, "Is this matter safe?"
"It's safe!" Cui'e answered firmly, "I am tied to my aunt. If my aunt is well, I will be well too. Don't you believe what I say?"
"Of course I believe it," He smiled, "You've gained a lot from me over the years. This time when I borrow the black money, you should share some of the money for me."
"Of course." Cui'e smiled slightly.
……
The next day, the weather inexplicably turned warmer, the snow melted, and the snow dripping from the eaves splashed onto the ground, making a rhythmic sound.
Lin Shuning was taking a nap on the couch when she heard a noisy noise outside the door. Lian'er ran in with a look of joy on her face: "Miss, it's He."
"So fast?"
Lin Shuning curled his lips into a smile, turned over and walked out with Lian'er.
He stood at the door with a gloomy face, but the moment Lin Shuning came out, her face suddenly turned from gloomy to sunny: "Miss San, I have brought what you wanted."
Cui'e, who was standing beside her, immediately handed over the box in her hand.
Lin Shuning reached out to take it, took out the silver bills from it, and counted them with a smile. There was a total of one thousand taels of silver, not a penny less.
She smiled and said, "Don't worry, Aunt He has helped me so much, I will keep your secret for you and won't let anyone know."
Lin Shuning deliberately emphasized the word "secret".
He smiled but her heart was not happy. She wanted to skin the man alive. "Miss Third, please keep your word."
Lin Shuning just smiled faintly and didn't respond to her.
For some reason, He felt that the smile on her face was malicious, which made her hair stand on end, as if something was happening in secret that she didn't know about.
She suppressed her uneasy thoughts and glanced at Cui'e.
Cui'e understood and immediately said, "Since this money is for Miss San to repay the Shangshu Mansion for raising you for so many years, then please hand it over to the mansion as soon as possible."
"My young lady has remembered it. Why would you, a servant like you, rush her?" Lian'er rolled her eyes at her and waved the broom in her hand towards the two people's feet: "Make way. I need to sweep the floor."
"you……!"
Cui'e was very angry. The day before yesterday, when this girl came to deliver something to He, she was still humble and submissive to her, but today she dared to step on her head, and she wanted to retort immediately.
"Okay, the things have been handed over, Cui'e, let's go."
He stopped her in time and walked outside. Cui'e stomped her feet unwillingly, glared at Lian'er and chased after her.
"unlucky!"
Lian'er spat and waved the broom in her hand vigorously, sweeping the ground where the two people had been clean.
Lin Shuning looked at her with amusement: "Why are you so angry?"
"This group of shameless people really want you to pay back a hundred or a thousand times the money you spent in the Shangshu Mansion over the years. I have never seen such cruel and vicious parents!"
Lian'er's face was filled with indignation, and her eyes turned red as she spoke.
"Okay, okay, don't cry. I can't possibly give them this money. Didn't we discuss this last night?" Lin Shuning was startled and quickly walked down the stairs, hugged Lian'er in his arms, and patted her back gently.
"I just feel that Lin Cheng and Wang are too cruel, especially Wang. She is not worthy of being the young lady's mother."
Lian'er was heartbroken. Ever since she had been with the young lady, she had not received any love from her family. Instead, she was targeted everywhere and bullied in every possible way.
What a home this was! It was even worse than the slave market she had been in before.
If the young lady had not been smart and courageous, she would have been eaten by these jackals, tigers and leopards until not even a bone was left.
"Miss..." Lian'er seemed to have thought of something, and raised her head from Lin Shuning's arms: "Miss, tell me, could it be that you... could it be that you are not the daughter of Lin Cheng and Wang at all? You are so beautiful, but the two of them look just ordinary people.
And Lin Rouan's appearance is not even one tenth of yours. If that's true, then Wang Shi's efforts to plot against you, young lady, seem to have a reason."
Lin Shuning slowly let go of Lian'er, his eyes gradually becoming deeper.
