When the two came outside, she said dissatisfiedly: "Auntie, I noticed that you have changed. Didn't you agree to plan something for me? Why are you trying to curry favor with that idiot now?"

Nan Ling paused and looked at her complicatedly: "Xi'er, you are the child I have raised since childhood. Can I not care about you and value an outsider?"

Lin Ruoxi hesitated and said, "Then why don't you tell your father to drive that idiot out of the general's mansion? Anyway, her mother is gone, so why is she still holding the position of legitimate daughter?"

Nan Ling scolded her in disappointment: "Do you only see the position of a legitimate daughter? If the Prime Minister's Mansion doesn't have the support of the Fang family, what's the use of such a useless status? The prince is still willing to choose you as the crown prince?"

I have to say that this sentence completely broke Lin Ruoxi's heart. Yes, she had no maternal power to rely on, and the prince didn't even look at her.

Nan Ling reached out and stroked her hair and said: "Xi'er, my aunt has taught you before that you must know how to be patient in everything. You should go and make friends with Lin Ruoyou now and let her take you to Fang's house to please you. Old General, won’t you take all her things into your hands when the time comes?”

Lin Ruoxi's eyes lit up, her aunt really loved her the most.

She nodded vigorously: "Okay, I will listen to you!"

After the two reached a consensus, they came to Lin Ruoyou's yard and saw her looking through something under the candlelight with an extremely serious expression.

Nan Ling was the first to speak with a smile: "Miss, the master asked me to come and see you. There are too few servants serving in this courtyard, why not add a few more?"

Lin Ruoyou raised an eyebrow and glanced at her, then threw the account book in his hand to her: "Do you think the Prime Minister's Mansion still has money to buy a maid?"

Nan Ling took a closer look and almost fainted from shock.

She asked in shock: "How come you have no money? Didn't you still have 1 taels of silver before?"

Lin Ruoyou said slowly: "There are 1 taels of silver, but because my mother's dowry was too short, I directly made up for it!"

Nan Ling didn't stop her, and Lin Ruoxi was immediately furious. She angrily reprimanded: "What qualifications do you have to touch the money in the account? Who do you think you are? Without my father's permission, what's the difference between you and stealing?"

"Bang!" Lin Ruoyou smashed the tea cup at her feet and shouted angrily: "Kneel down!"

Lin Ruoxi almost laughed angrily, and she raised her chin arrogantly: "You ask me to kneel, and I will kneel? Lin Ruoyou, don't you know how much you weigh, right?"

Lin Ruoyou didn't say much. He raised his foot and kicked her hard on the crook of the leg. She screamed in pain and fell directly onto the porcelain shards.

"Ah, it hurts so much, auntie, I'm disfigured!" The exposed skin was stabbed, and the horrified Lin Ruoxi collapsed and cried.

Nan Ling was furious. She quickly helped Lin Ruoxi up and said, "Miss, you are going too far. She is also your biological sister. Are you not afraid of being stigmatized?"

Lin Ruoyou lowered her eyes and smiled softly: "Don't I have enough stigma on me? Besides, she is disrespectful to me, the daughter-in-law of the prime minister's house. Shouldn't I punish her? Nantong Fang?"

Nan Ling's face turned red with anger, especially the last three words, which made her want to find a crack in the ground to hide in shame.

It is true that she has no name or status in the prime minister's house, and it is said that everyone in the house praises her.

She took a deep breath and said: "Miss, no matter how you treat us, we all want to treat you sincerely. We are a family and should cherish each other and maintain dignity. Don't let outsiders see the joke!" "

Lin Ruoyou raised the corners of her lips mockingly, why didn't she know that Nan Ling was so eloquent in her previous life?It seems that because Xiao Nanshi is too powerful, it was not her turn to show off.

In this life, Xiao Nan went offline early, and her sister from the Nan family jumped out and jumped around.

She narrowed her eyes and murmured: "Wait until you truly become the mistress of the Prime Minister's Mansion, then come over and teach me a lesson, okay?"

"You!" Nan Ling's eyes were red with hatred, and without any hesitation, she reached out her hand to support Lin Ruoxi and left quickly.

Zi'er came in to clean up the debris on the ground. She asked worriedly: "Miss, do you think the master will come forward to scold you on their behalf?"

Lin Ruoyou snorted coldly: "He should take care of himself first. Without my mother's support, the Prime Minister's Mansion will be nothing but an empty shell. Even if he sells iron, he won't be able to support so many people!"

She raised her eyes and looked out the window, murderous intent boiling in her eyes.

She murmured in a low voice: "This is just the beginning. Are you ready, Mr. Lin?"

The next day, Lin Xiang's injury improved, and he had the energy to start handling matters in the mansion.

When breakfast was delivered, when he saw that it was all vegetarian dishes with clear soup and little water, he immediately scolded him with a serious face: "You are actually recuperating your body, why don't you even have any supplements with oily ingredients?"

A flash of embarrassment flashed across the steward's face, and he lowered his voice and said: "Sir, I originally planned to wait until you had a meal before talking about it. Now that you ask, let's think of a way. We already have all the money in the prime minister's palace." No more, this kitchen is almost out of rice!"

Lin Xiang was stunned for a moment and then said: "How is it possible? Even if Fang takes away all the dowry, there must be some left for us, right?"

The steward reluctantly handed him the account book. After reading it, he immediately kicked the table over.

He gritted his teeth and roared: "Lin Ruoyou is simply a prodigal who cheats and cheats. If she dares to touch my money, I must beat her to death!"

"Who are you going to hit?" A mocking voice came from outside, making him jump up quickly in shock.

He rushed to the door, suddenly thought of something again, gritted his teeth hard, and then suppressed all the hatred in his heart.

He said solemnly: "You still have the nerve to come here. The whole family has been emptied by you. Do you want the whole family to eat bran-pharynx vegetables?"

Lin Ruoyou blinked innocently: "Isn't it because of your reputation? He was the prime minister, but he tampered with his wife's dowry, and even suffered a deficit of 1 taels of silver. If this spreads out, what will happen to others? Look at you? With the reputation of being a soft-boiled guy, how can you show your face to make a pilgrimage?"

Lin Xiangdeng's face turned pale and ugly. He pondered for a long time before squeezing out a sentence from between his teeth: "Then you have to leave some for me!"

She sneered: "I want to keep it, but you have to have it too. Anyway, there is only so much money in the account, and there is still a hole of 5000 taels. If I hadn't been pleading hard, the Fang family wouldn't have pulled it down!" "

Lin Xiang was angry. She said it nicely. The Fang family wanted to use her as their eyes to protect them, but why did they ask her to beg?

He gritted his teeth hard and reminded in a deep voice: "Don't forget, you are the eldest lady of the Lin family now, I am your father, and we are the closest people. You must not turn your elbows outward!"

She said calmly: "Of course I know, but how are we going to survive the current crisis? I'm afraid we won't even be able to maintain our daily expenses!"
