Chapter 97
After Gao Hu left with the forbidden army, Lin Yunjin looked in a mess and his voice was low.

"Sister, what shall we do now?"

"Father, it is impossible for him to be greedy for the military salary, let alone collude with bandits. Didn't my father even have the minimum trust to support the Holy One all the way back then?"

Lin Yu turned to look at him, "The Sacred Heart is unpredictable, Yun Jin, if you can't see through this, I really dare not entrust Changning Hou Mansion to you!"

"Most of the people in this world who can repay the emperor with kindness will end badly, do you understand?"

Lin Yunjin lowered her head, her face was ashamed, "What Eldest Sister said is true, I didn't expect it."

"Miss, go over and have a look!"

A nanny ran over, still panting slightly, "The second master and the second wife just ran to the old lady's side and made a fuss about separating the family, which made the old lady vomit blood!"

"They still want to be shameless?"

Lin Yunjin's face turned ashen, "These years, when the Ninghou Mansion was full of glory, I never saw them want to separate!"

Lin Yu's face didn't look any better, "Go and have a look first."

The two arrived at Wansong Hall all the way, and as soon as they entered the courtyard, they heard the sharp voice of the second lady.

"Mother, that's not what you said. Our eldest brother committed a crime, so we can't let the two of us take the blame together?"

"Don't you want our second room to die with elder brother?"

After a while of silence, the second master's voice also rang out, "Mother, there must be someone who has the blood of the Lin family, my wife and I are fine, but the child is still young, so he can't suffer with us."

"Just promise us to separate."

Mrs. Lin's cough became more and more intense, "The Hou Mansion has not treated you badly all these years, but now you are in trouble, you can't wait to separate, I cough"

The second lady was a little impatient, "It's been so many years since you've been treated badly, so why don't you let us die with you?"

"I came here today to tell my mother that we have decided to divide this family!"

"Second uncle and second aunt have already made up their minds, have they decided to separate?"

Lin Yu entered the room and looked at the domineering second wife in front of him, "That's good, I won't always go to my second wife because of the second room's expenses."

"How much money has been used in the account of the second room over the years, I have listed the account separately, plus the money to be divided for the second uncle and aunt."

"After all the calculations, the second uncle and the second aunt should still owe me 1 taels of silver. Let's settle the account and separate tomorrow, how about it?"

"1 taels of silver?"

The second lady put her hips on her hips and couldn't calm down, "Lin Yu, you have a dark heart, what did your second uncle and I do, I want to give you 1 taels, don't you have me and your second uncle in the Marquis of Changning?" One copy?"

Lin Yunjin comforted the old lady, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but said, "Second Aunt takes herself too seriously, what kind of official is Second Uncle in the capital?"

"He is just the smallest official position in Honglu Temple, and his monthly salary is limited."

"In the entire Marquis of Changning's mansion, is there any place that asks for money that didn't come from my father's salary and elder sister's hard work?"

Lin Yu went on to say: "Second uncle only contributes a hundred taels of silver to the treasury every year, but the second room spends at least three to five thousand taels from the treasury every year."

"Not to mention how much money Second Aunt spent in running the house a few months ago just to celebrate Second Uncle's birthday."

"In this way, let alone 1 taels, even 3 taels are owed by my second uncle and aunt."

One word and one sentence pierced the lungs of the second room couple, especially the second master's face turned blue and white, and he flicked his sleeves angrily, "Let's go!"

The second wife also hurriedly left together, still aggrieved on the way, "Why doesn't she, Lin Yu, grab 1 taels of silver?"

The second master, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said at this moment, "Go back and get it together, if you can't sell a shop, get all the money and give it to her!"

"Are you crazy?"

The second lady looked at the second master, "That's 1 taels of silver, not one tael!"

"Is 1 taels of silver more important than life?"

The second master is also unwilling to give it, but now the separation of the family is the most important thing, what money do you need if you are dead.

"Look at Gao Hu and the group of imperial guards today, the emperor has already become suspicious of elder brother, the Marquis of Changning will not get well sooner or later."

"You're still thinking about money, let me see how you spend it if you're dead?"

Now the second lady didn't dare to speak, "Then I'll ask A Xu and the others to clean it up. I'll sell the jewelry, and I should be able to make up 1 taels."

Lin Baozhu, who had just returned from the street, went straight to the study regardless of the things she had just bought.

"Changyuan, why did so many forbidden soldiers go to the Lin residence today? Is something wrong with elder sister and second brother?"

Gu Changyuan squinted at Lin Baozhu who had barged in, and said in an unhappy voice, "How many times have I told you not to come into my study casually!"

"I know, but... Eldest Sister and the others have an accident. There are many imperial guards surrounding the Lin Mansion and Chang Yuan. I am so scared. Is there an accident at my house?"

Lin Baozhu said while tugging on Gu Changyuan's sleeve, "Changyuan, talk!"

Looking at Lin Baozhu with tears in his eyes, Gu Changyuan pinched the center of his brows, "Yes, the emperor hastily summoned Marquis Changning back to Beijing, and suspected that He Changfeng's collusion with bandits was instigated by Marquis Changning."

Lin Baozhu burst into tears, "Impossible, my father would never do such a thing, Changyuan, you must help me."

"You can help me to speak in front of the emperor, okay?"

Gu Changyuan frowned, and his voice softened, "You know, I'm just a member of the Ministry of Punishment, Wailang, and I don't even have the qualifications to face saint, how can I speak for the Lin family?"

"And you forgot Baozhu? When your eldest sister drove you out of the house, they didn't care about family affection at all. I was the only one protecting you. Why do you care about them?"

Lin Baozhu looked at Gu Changyuan anxiously, "But they are my relatives, the elder sister and the second elder brother were very kind to me in the past, I can't watch them have an accident!"

"Then you can bear to see me in trouble?"

Gu Changyuan raised his eyebrows, "At the beginning your eldest sister and second brother looked down on me, I was beaten half to death, and even the wound was opened. I have paid so much for you, but in the end I am not as good as your elder sister and second brother."

"Bao Zhu, tell me, why did I marry you? You can't even love me and put me first!"

"Instead, you came to intercede with me for the relatives who drove you out of the house? How could you bear it?"

Seeing Gu Changyuan's heartbroken, Lin Baozhu's hand loosened, but couldn't help but tighten it.

"Changyuan, I know you treat me well, but can you help them, just this once."

She looked at Gu Changyuan with bright eyes, "Haven't you always been on good terms with His Highness the Third Highness? As long as His Highness can be persuaded to help explain to the emperor, nothing will happen to the Lin family!"

Gu Changyuan looked Lin Baozhu up and down for a while, "Then you go and ask your eldest sister if she is willing to submit to the Third Highness, and if your father, Marquis Changning, is willing to hand over the army in his hand?"
