Doting on concubines and destroying wives? I don’t want to be the mistress of the Hou clan anymore.

Chapter 92 Negotiation
Lin Shuangyue bit her lower lip, a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes, but her eyes met Lin's father, causing her to lower her head in a hurry.

"Uncle, as long as you don't send me to the temple, we can agree to anything."

Father Lin nodded slightly and said: "Then you move out from here and move around less in the future. I will still give you money every month so that you won't starve to death, but I can't give you more." "

"This..." Mr. Lin was reluctant to give up, but looking at his brother's determined gaze, he didn't know what to say.

He wanted a little more money.

But, how can I dare to speak now?

"Just in time, I asked someone to find a house and found a courtyard with a good view. You can also open a business in front of it. It depends on whether you are willing to set up a business."

Gu Zhao also mentioned this house privately as a property under Chen Jue's name, but he did not mention Lin Shuangyue's matter.

I don’t know if she is worried about her daughter’s reputation or if she has other concerns.

Father Lin thought for a while and would have to test his daughter's tone later.

As long as he is around, no one can bully their wife and children.

"I will pay the rent for you this year. From now on, you can figure it out on your own. The monthly payment will be one hundred taels..."

"Uncle, this one hundred taels is too little."

"Not enough?" Lin's father looked at Lin Zou who was speaking sarcastically: "Ordinary traders and foot soldiers only need five taels of silver a year. Without my help, ask yourselves, you can get a hundred taels of silver a month. Is there a future?"

“Only when you are content can you always be happy.”

The second master of the Lin family didn't dare to speak, he just pulled Zou's clothes.

He was a bastard, but he didn't dare to say a word in front of Father Lin, who always spoke his mind.

A few years ago, there was an old housekeeper who helped him to speak up in front of his brother, but the old housekeeper was taken back and raised by his family. Now he can't get involved in the family's property, and there is no one who can help him speak up in front of his brother.

I am really afraid of the days when I will have no money.

Lin Shuangyue gritted her teeth, kowtowed to Father Lin again, and said, "Uncle, one hundred taels per month is not too little for us, but can you please ask uncle to give you more land and shops? My brother still needs to study. I'm afraid that the money won't be enough...Uncle, since you are still willing to recognize us, why not help our family again."

Lin Shuangyue didn't want to put her dignity on the ground and let others step on it, but she knew what life was like without money.

People came to the house every day to collect debts, and my father even considered sending himself out to pay debts.

If the old housekeeper hadn't asked his father to ask his uncle, how could the family be where it is now.

My father and mother had healed their scars and forgotten the pain, but she was not.

Being in the flower hall during the day was just a deliberate act on her part, just to test things out.

But in the end, I underestimated these people.

She didn't expect Gu Zhao's reaction to be so big, and that he wanted to make the matter known to everyone in the capital.

Isn't he worried that he will rely on him like this?

But after thinking about her arm, which was still aching a little, Lin Shuangyue warned herself to stay calm and not to mess up her position.

"You think so."

"Uncle, you don't want to be known as someone who treats your brothers harshly!"

Lin Shuangyue had no choice but to take out her trump card: "You will always go back to Yangzhou in the future, but our family is different. We will stay in Kyoto. When my sister gets married in the future, we will definitely help her. Lin Shuangyue emphasized the word "help".

She has been precocious since she was a child, and she can see clearly that although Father Lin is usually very serious, she knows that the most important thing to him is her cousin.

Even more fancy than that cousin.

Since she was a child, she had envied this sister, and even always thought about what it would be like if she were the daughter of her uncle's family.

"Are you threatening me?"

"I'm not, uncle. You should know that we are not qualified to threaten you at all."

A trace of surprise flashed in Father Lin's eyes, and he looked at Lin Shuangyue and said, "It's not until today that I realized that you see further than your father. If you are a son, why should your family not be able to recover?"

Zou and Mr. Lin looked at each other and felt that this was a bit exaggerated. In their opinion, their daughter was a little smart, but also impulsive and reckless.

Lin Shuangyue couldn't help but think bitterly in her heart that if she were a son, this family would have been crushed to death by you.

My younger brother has been studying in the Lin family and has heard a lot about how the uncle of the Lin family started his business and how he is kind.

If I hadn't pretended to be reckless and domineering, I wouldn't have grown up so big. I would have asked him to find a chance to arrange a marriage for me.

"You two go out first." Father Lin said to Mr. Lin and Zou: "I have something to say to Shuang'er alone."

Second Master Lin no longer wanted to hear these things, so he pulled Zou and walked out.

Zou still felt sorry for Lin Shuangyue and didn't want to leave.

"Mom, it's okay."

She also had to give it a try for her own future.

"Get up and talk."

Father Lin said: "Let them leave. Can you speak more openly?"

Lin Shuangyue cursed in her heart. She was not a fool. She had to speak step by step. Naturally, she couldn't just dump it all out.

"Uncle, what I ask for is my own future."

"You want me to help you secure a match?" Father Lin sneered: "Don't you already have your eye on the Crown Prince? You recommended yourself to be a pillow... It's a pity that they didn't like you."

Lin Shuangyue's face turned red, but she still did not avoid Lin's father's gaze, and expressed her true thoughts on the matter very frankly: "Uncle, there is no need to ridicule me. I did this for my cousin... "

Before he finished speaking, he received a cold snort from Father Lin.

At that moment, Lin Shuangyue changed her words: "I wanted to take advantage of others' danger and test who Gu Shizi is. If he doesn't care about my cousin, I will beg my uncle to give me to Gu Shizi as a concubine. I’ll be able to help my cousin in the Duke’s Mansion in the future!”

Father Lin's eyes became a little colder.

Lin Shuangyue resisted the pressure and continued: "If the Crown Prince Gu doesn't pretend, I would like to ask the Crown Prince to help me secure a matchmaker. In the future, I can gain a firm foothold in the capital and help my cousin with matters in the inner house." …”

Father Lin took a sip of tea, thinking that he might have glanced at his niece, and said, "I don't believe a word you said."

"But I speak from the bottom of my heart." Lin Shuangyue was a little anxious. Of course, her ultimate goal was to marry a good family, not a prince or a minister, but an official with real power. She could never marry an ordinary person casually. people.

"Actually, it doesn't matter whether I believe it or not." Father Lin shook the cup and said, "You just want to marry a good family, which is understandable, but you have to show your sincerity and let me see your determination. "
