The concubine doesn't fall in love, but crazy critics insist on holding her responsible

Before the plan to assassinate Xiao Xuan was finalized, Lin Zhiyu suddenly received an invitation from Prince Jianning's Mansion.

The weather is getting warmer and the vegetation is plentiful, making it a good time for an outing in spring.

As for Pei Shizhi, Lin Zhiyu hadn't seen him for a while.

On the second day of the birthday banquet to thank the old lady, Pei Shizhi went north to provide disaster relief on the emperor's order.

Just after the first month of the year, there was a sudden heavy snowfall in the four states of the North. Countless livestock, cattle and sheep froze to death, causing heavy losses.

Pei Shizhi led his troops straight to the Northland to provide disaster relief and rebuild... It was not until recently that he returned with success.

Pei Shizhi's departure also became the reason why Xie Yiwan stopped and did not cause any more trouble to Lin Zhiyu.

Once there was no audience watching the show, Xie Yiwan's jealous little actions were either to suppress and damage Lin Zhiyu's reputation in front of Pei Shizhi, or to use Lin Zhiyu's stupidity to set off her extraordinaryness.

Secondly, Pei Shi's birthday is approaching, and Xie Yiwan is busy preparing gifts for him.

Earlier, Xie Yiwan would come to Lin Zhiyu from time to time to communicate with her for the so-called sisterly love.

But with Xie Ling's accident, the second and third bedrooms became ugly, so Xie Yiwan said that the illness would not come back again, and spent the whole day immersed in the house, trying to come up with some novel ideas to please Pei Shi.

In fact, according to the current relationship between the two, there is no need for Xie Yiwan to do anything. As long as Xie Yiwan stands there, Pei Shizhi cannot look away. After all, they are in love and have their fill.

During the time when Pei Shizhi left Beijing, without the supervision and restraint of Princess Jianning, the two became more and more indulgent. Perhaps the distance can make people forget the unhappiness and strangeness in their hearts. The two of them had a little farewell than a wedding, and the heartfelt letters to each other were seen in Lin Zhi It seems to me that the lower limit is being refreshed every time.

Sometimes Lin Zhiyu had to admire that a cultured person is a cultured person, and there are so many ways to talk nonsense.

Pei Shizhi even sneaked back several times, and he was able to do it even though he was a dignified imperial minister and everyone was watching.

The two of them were fighting for each other, and if it weren't for the elixir to ward off their children, Prince Jianning's palace would probably have a new baby by the end of the year.

In the early morning, Lin Zhiyu finished washing and was having breakfast, preparing to go out to meet Pei Shizhi when invited.

Lan Sheng saw that Lin Zhiyu came in just as he was about to finish his meal, holding a tray filled with money and the rewards Lin Zhiyu had given her in the past.

"Miss, this is the ransom money for the two sisters Xia Chun, a total of two thousand, three hundred taels, this is half of it, and the remaining half will be deducted from my monthly silver from next month."

Lin Zhiyu only glanced at it and roughly checked the amount, "Are you sure you want to give it to me? It took you at least five years to save this money. Is this your entire property? As a maid, you don't have any money around you. , have you ever thought about what would happen if you are unable to take care of the people below?"

It will be difficult to move forward, and there will be no dignity.

But saving Xia Chun was the result of her own impulse. She couldn't let the young lady pay for her selfishness.

At that time, she was so angry that Man Tingfang was so arrogant and domineering. Afterwards, she calmed down and felt full of regret.

"Follow the lady, I am not afraid."

This money was usually given as a reward. She subsidized part of it to Run Shu's family and took out the rest.

Lan Sheng gritted his teeth. In five days, this month's money would be paid out. If she lived frugally, she would be able to do the things assigned by the young lady.

Lin Zhiyu pushed the tray back to Lan Sheng, and not only that, he also took off a good-quality jade bracelet from his wrist and added it to it.

"There is no need for you to pay for it. Runshu is not here. I had planned to choose a new maid to serve me. Xia Chun is very suitable for me. It is fate to come here. And you know, your young lady lacks everything except money. .”

"Miss, one size equals one size."

The money to redeem Xia Chun was enough to buy a dozen first-class girls. At that time, the madam didn't dare to open her mouth, but he also recognized her eagerness to save people.Lan Sheng has a stubborn temper, and Lin Zhiyu knows that she shouldn't let this matter continue today, "Okay, okay, are you satisfied with this?"

Lin Zhiyu casually picked up a banknote, the denomination of which was not even worth [-]% of the jade bracelet she added.

Lan Sheng wanted to say something, but Lin Zhiyu stopped him, "Okay, I've accepted it, so let's forget it. I told you when I gave you the purse that day that all the expenses for that day will be yours." On my part, I didn’t blame you.”

"But the next time you act, remember not to act out of impulse and know how to consider the consequences."

Lan Sheng's eyes were sore. She had never worried about being scolded. She remembered the kindness the young lady treated her, but it was precisely because of this kindness that she could not tolerate herself making mistakes.

Lan Sheng's thoughts couldn't be hidden from Lin Zhiyu. Lin Zhiyu didn't say any words of comfort and only said: "I won't give you this bracelet for free. Spring and summer have just arrived. Everything costs money, so I can't let you pay for it." , please bring some snacks, prepare everything properly, and don’t let anyone gossip about you.”

"The servant understands."

That's what he said, but Lan Sheng didn't do it.

It’s not that there’s anything bad in it, it’s just that I want to test the little girl’s character.

Lan Sheng was on guard against Xia Chun, but Lin Zhiyu let it go without interfering. Lin Zhiyu was not afraid of Lan Sheng's temptation.

Furthermore, she was more or less uncertain in her heart. In view of her past life experience, although she knew Xia Chun's character, people would change, and who knew whether Xia Chun in this life would be her in the previous life.

After breakfast, Lin Zhiyu was about to go out. Xia Chun looked at his fairy-like master with a dazed look on his face.

Before entering the mansion, Xia Chun never dared to think about being able to serve Lin Zhiyu personally. She would be satisfied with a sheltered place to live.

"Miss, are you going out now?"

Lan Sheng passed by, and Xia Chun hurriedly stopped him.

Isn't it almost noon when we met? The young lady and the prince had made an appointment to go out on the lake and enjoy the beautiful spring scenery and delicious food.

Lan Sheng said sternly: "I need to go to Qinle Pavilion first. The tone of Miss's pipa is a little inaccurate, so I want to debug it first."

Maybe he felt guilty for his impulsive actions, and maybe he had Xia Chun by his side, giving him an extra responsibility. After deep reflection, Lan Sheng's temperament became much calmer, and his behavior had some traces of Run Shu's former self.

Xia Chun suddenly realized that the day the young lady brought her back, she asked her teacher to show her pipa skills.

……

When Lin Zhiyu and Lan Sheng arrived at Qinle Pavilion, they heard shouting inside before entering.

Lin Zhiyu grabbed Lan Sheng and stopped at the door.

A man in a green robe was holding his head with the shopkeeper, his neck akimbo. This man had a handsome figure. He turned sideways inadvertently, and there was a hint of Xie Ling in his eyebrows.

The shopkeeper said with a headache: "Mr. Song, the current market price is like this. How can you wait until we have finished debugging before saying no? If we had known this, we would not have taken this business."

"What's the market price? I only know that you took this wooden wrench and twisted it twice, and it took less than two-quarters of an hour. Just for this, you charge me 500 taels? Do you think these silver bumps grew out of the crop fields!"

After haggling over the price, the shopkeeper laughed angrily when the oil and salt did not come in.

This is the first time I see someone being dissatisfied with their fast and accurate tuning.
