Honglou: This bastard is too persuasive.

Chapter 485: One sentence changes Lin Daiyu's fate

Since they had only been on the boat for a short time, Mrs. Wang had already sent someone over, and Jia Huan had just sent someone back to notify them, but Jia Lei still arranged for his personal servant to go back and explain the details.

It was because they knew that the Lin family brought most of the valuables and cash, all of which were gold and silver, so they naturally needed more vehicles. So, a large number of forty or fifty vehicles and exquisite sedan chairs appeared at the dock.

No one knew what was unloaded from the two ships, but based on the discussions coming from people around the dock, it was known that a total of 300 boxes were unloaded from the two ships.

Jia Huan saw that Lin Daiyu was completely immersed in her own world, had no thoughts about these gold and silver treasures, and did not care about the changes in this matter. What impact would it have on him?
At this moment he understood that if he did not do something, Lin Daiyu's life in Rongguo Mansion would become increasingly difficult.

He insisted on coming in front of the crowd, looking at the onlookers who were talking, and then he spoke loudly to Jia Lian who was walking in front.

"Brother Lian, everyone says that our Rongguo Mansion is wealthy, but I think the Lin family is equally wealthy. They actually brought hundreds of boxes of things, all of which are silver. I'm afraid there are millions of taels. Even if it's not all silver, the value of all the things added up is probably more than a million taels."

After he finished speaking, there was a commotion from the crowd around him, and the discussions became louder.

Some people even brought up news they had heard before.

"I was curious about whose fleet this was. I didn't expect it to be from the Yangzhou Lin family. I remember that the Lin family is a relative of the Rongguo Mansion, right?"

"I remember now. I heard that the head of the Lin family passed away, leaving only a daughter in the family. This daughter has been raised in Rongguo Mansion. It seems that the neighbor's daughter has returned to Rongguo Mansion this time, and she has taken all the neighbor's money and property to Rongguo Mansion."

"This time, Rongguo Mansion has made a lot of money. I estimate that these boxes are worth more than 100 million taels of silver. So many things have been cheapened, Rongguo Mansion."

"What are you talking about? Rongguo Mansion is a wealthy family, but he doesn't have the money of a son-in-law. The neighboring family only has one daughter left, so these things are naturally her dowry."

"It's hard to say. Who knows what the people in Rongguo Mansion think? Who knows if there are any people among them who have their own ideas? Who knows, these millions of taels of things may end up belonging to someone else."

"Don't talk nonsense. If the people in Rongguo Mansion hear it, you might get into trouble. It's better not to talk nonsense."

Hearing these discussions, Jia Lian felt numb instantly.

The wife, the old lady, and even his own father had all personally instructed him to deliver the money to Rongguo Mansion without anyone noticing. But now he had brought the money out in public, and had Jia Huan tell others about it. In other words, it wouldn't be long before everyone in the whole city of nerves would know that Lin Daiyu, the only daughter of the neighboring family, had brought millions of taels of wealth into Rongguo Mansion. If Rongguo Mansion embezzled millions or even tens of millions of taels of money, then the reputation of Rongguo Mansion in the future would be completely ruined.

When he thought that this incident was caused by himself, he felt a chill all over his body, and was afraid that he would be beaten when he returned.

At the same time, his eyes looking at Jia Huan were also full of viciousness, but at this time, looking at the crowd of people who were talking and the team behind him, he could only take a deep breath and suppress all the emotions in his heart.

The most important thing now is to reduce the impact of this matter, and at the same time, to depreciate the value of the wealth he brought back. Otherwise, he will not be able to explain it after returning. But before doing this, he needs to explain it clearly to Lin Daiyu first. After thinking about it, he said to the teaching staff next to him.

"Sister Lin, you can't let others know that your family has so much money, otherwise people will suspect your father, and he will also be targeted by thieves. Wait a minute, I will explain to the people around me that most of these things are your dowry. At the same time, the remaining money of the neighbors is not much, and it only adds up to 500,000 or 600,000 taels of silver. Tell them not to worry about it anymore, and don't think of targeting you."

No one knew what Lin Daiyu was thinking in the sedan chair. She just nodded lightly. It was unknown whether she did not value money or did not care about this matter. Although Jia Huan felt a little sorry that she did not fight for it, this was Lin Daiyu's own choice and he had done his best.

At least after he finished telling this story, someone would know that Lin Daiyu brought 300 boxes of gold and silver items into the Rongguo Mansion. Even if the fake face said that these things were only worth 50, it was the biggest guarantee for Lin Daiyu.

There are so many people who witnessed Lin Daiyu entering the Rongguo Mansion with more than 500,000 taels of silver. If you, Rongguo Mansion, don't take good care of her, it means you are embezzling this money. If something happens to Lin Daiyu, then Rongguo Mansion will be scolded. There are so many people who witnessed Lin Daiyu entering the Rongguo Mansion with more than 500,000 taels of silver. If you, Rongguo Mansion, don't take good care of her, it means you are embezzling this money. If something happens to Lin Daiyu, then Rongguo Mansion will be criticized.

It can be said that his words have basically helped Lin Daiyu a lot. Although Lin Daiyu didn't understand, several people around her looked at Jia Huan. Although they didn't know why Jia Huan did this, as long as it was good for Lin Daiyu, they were still very happy.

Jia Lian also said to Jia Huan with a smile the moment he turned around.

"Where did they get so much money? Even though there are 300 boxes, you may not know the situation of the neighboring family. It was a big family and all the money was divided up by my uncle. After we took care of his funeral, there was nothing left. These 300 boxes may seem like a lot, but most of the things in them are Lin Daiyu's dowry."

"Don't you see that these boxes are big and small? Some contain household items, while others simply contain small pieces of furniture and various food items brought from Yangzhou."

"After all, Sister Lin will be living in Rongguo Mansion from now on, so buying more of these things is also to leave them as souvenirs for her. So although you think these 300 boxes are a lot, their total value is only about or taels, which are all counted as Sister Lin's dowry."

"Don't be jealous of these things, kid."
