Rich and powerful

Sun Xuemeng's eyes brightened. If it was true what Lin Yun said, then the Sun family's sphere of influence would indeed expand, but would it be so easy?

"Lin Yuanwai's idea is good, but...the establishment of Baicaotang needs the approval of the imperial court's Ministry of Industry. Not everyone is qualified to settle in. With the current background of my Sun family, I'm afraid I can't afford it at all!"

Lin Yun has secretly made up his mind to be closely tied to the Sun family, so that he can use that business path freely in the future.

He said with a smile: "Right now, Haocheng is facing a time when everything is waiting to be rebuilt. With me and the governor's personal protection, if the Sun family still can't take down Haocheng Baicaotang, then I can't help it!"

The meaning of Lin Yun's words is obvious, anyway, the opportunity has been given to the Sun family, and whether they can seize it depends on the Sun family themselves.

After much deliberation, Sun Xuemeng finally nodded in agreement.

"Okay, then I'll trust Officer Lin once! Can I leave now?"

Lin Yun smiled wryly and said, "It's already midnight, is Miss Sun going back to Yucheng now? Are you not afraid of any danger on the way?"

"Hmph, if you support such a group of elite soldiers and generals under your Lin Yuanwei, will something happen to me? What's more, are you willing?"

At the end of Sun Xuemeng's words, she deliberately teased Lin Yun, showing an ambiguous smile.

Feeling overwhelmed, Lin Yun quickly changed the subject and said, "Alright!! If that's the case, then I won't force you to stay! Come on!!"

With an order, the door of the firewood room was opened, and the two gatekeepers stepped in.

"Send an order to send a small team to escort Miss Sun back to Yucheng!!"

"Subordinates obey!!"

After the two soldiers left, Sun Xuemeng finally felt relieved that he was finally safe.

She stared at Lin Yun again, and asked: "Mr. Lin, do you really not have even the slightest inappropriate thoughts about this concubine? As long as you say a word, this concubine will stay with Yuanwai Lin tonight!" "

For her to say such blunt words, it can be seen that this woman is very optimistic about Lin Yun.

But Lin Yun understood that this Sun Xuemeng was a rose with thorns, which could only be seen from a distance and not played with. Once she was entangled, the consequences would be unpredictable.

After all, Lin Yun didn't want to involve himself in the most difficult thing to endure a beauty's favor.

"Miss Sun's kindness, I appreciate it! However, we are not suitable. Instead of being husband and wife, I would rather be good friends with Miss Sun!"

Lin Yun didn't dare to look at her, but tilted his head and cupped his fists and said.

"Hmph! Forget it! Anyway, if you don't want me, you will lose yourself!"

After saying that, Sun Xuemeng turned around and left. The escort team was already ready. The moment they saw Sun Xuemeng, they immediately opened the door curtain of a sedan chair, and Sun Xuemeng got in directly.

Lin Yun sent her to the entrance of the village and ordered in a low voice: "Be careful on the road! Don't talk to her too much, and don't reveal anything! Hurry up and come back!"

The team leader immediately embraced his orders and led the team away.

Lin Yun finally let out a long sigh of relief. This Sun Xuemeng is definitely a tricky character. If she continues to stay in Niubei Village, something will happen tomorrow. It would be a good thing to send her away overnight.

Sun Mansion in Yucheng.

Although it was late at night, the Sun family had no intention of resting, and the house was still brightly lit.

Sun Xing, on the other hand, was leaning back on a wicker chair in the courtyard, covered with a layer of pure wool blanket, sipping tea leisurely, and reading a medical book with the wind lantern carried by the maid behind him.

Only Sun Hongtao paced back and forth in the courtyard, looking embarrassed.

It's no wonder that it's Haishi now, and the elder sister hasn't come back yet, so he was afraid of any accident.

After all, Sun Xuemeng went to Niubei Village this time not only to send medical documents, but also to negotiate with Lin Yun with Qiu Yi's intention.

If you haven't come back so late, something must have happened.

"Father, you're not worried at all since the elder sister hasn't come back?"

Sun Xing casually flipped through a page of the Chinese medicine book in his hand, and said absently: "What are you worried about? It is impossible for him, Lin Yun, to hurt Xuemeng! What's more, this girl is not a fuel-efficient lamp in the first place. If she stays in Niubei Village, she will only let her Then Lin Yun has a headache!"

"But…"

"Okay, don't be a fool! You boy have been going to brothels all day these two days, and I haven't settled with you yet!"

Sun Xing put down the Chinese medicine book in his hand, and looked at his son meaningfully.

Sun Hongtao looked embarrassed, and said: "Father, don't talk nonsense, the boy just went to the brothel to discuss the true meaning of life with the ladies there! And, if it blossoms and bears fruit, you can be a grandfather!"

"Bah! You brat begs to be beaten!! If you find a prostitute to come back as a wife, I will beat you to death!!"

As he spoke, Sun Xing picked up the shoes on the ground and smashed them hard at Sun Hongtao.

Sun Hongtao had a smirk on his face, and ducked to avoid the blow.

"Father, can we not mention this matter? Going to the brothel this time is really a big deal, and it's also a good thing that will benefit my grandson's family!"

Sun Xing snorted coldly, and sighed: "You really have hard wings, and now you don't even want your face! You say, if you can't make a reason, I will let you taste the taste of the whip!"

As he spoke, he pulled out a ten-foot-long whip under the cushion.

Sun Hongtao swallowed, with fear on his face, and said: "It's the Dali pill that Lin Yun gave me last time! That Dali pill is really a magic medicine, and the effect is very obvious! Father, if our Sun family can master this prescription, it will be a big deal! I am really rich! I am afraid that even the royal family will come to our house to collect medicine!"

Sun Xing shook his head and said: "It's okay if you don't mention this matter, I have discussed this matter with Lin Yun before, but this kid is very stingy, he doesn't intend to hand over the prescription at all, at most he promised to provide this Dali Pill to We sell!"

Sun Xing also stopped asking about his son's visit to the brothel. In fact, he knew it a long time ago, but he just didn't bother to ask.

"This is impossible! Dad, this is the only opportunity for our Sun family, don't miss it!"

Sun Xing glared, and said: "Okay! Since you are so ambitious, then you can talk to Lin Yun. If you can negotiate, I will give you the position of the head of the Baicao Hall in Yucheng!"

Sun Hongtao smiled awkwardly, touched his nose and said, "I... forget it! You should leave it to the eldest sister! She is more capable than me!"

He is not stupid, he already knew some details about Lin Yun.

At this moment, footsteps came from outside the courtyard, and Sun Xuemeng finally came back.

Sun Xing and his son's eyes lit up.

"Sister, you're back! Why did you talk about it so late? That Lin didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"

Sun Hongtao looked concerned, but his expression was unbearable.

"Little brother, don't talk yet!" Sun Xuemeng turned to look at Sun Xing with a serious face, and said, "Second Uncle, I just finished talking with Yuanwai Lin..."

As he spoke, he recounted all the content of the conversation just now.

Of course, she didn't say anything about the rivalry between her and Lin Yun.
