Film and television actress, she has many children and good fortune

Chapter 371 Dream of Red Mansions - Lin Ruhai Concubine 3

The Lin Mansion is full of Jia family servants. Xiao Tao is the only person Liu Ruyan can trust, which makes her feel insecure. She has to develop her own network of contacts in this mansion.

However, developing one's own network requires not only pills but also money. However, because she was pregnant with Lin Ruhai's child, she was still not taken seriously, and she had too little money at hand.

Lin Ruhai is unreliable. As a pregnant woman, she has been malnourished for some time. It would have been fine if she didn't show any expression, she didn't even look at her. It's true that you can't have any expectations of a man with whom you had a one-night stand.

Men are unreliable, so you have to rely on yourself. She does have a loyalty pill that can turn slaves into her own people, but she also needs money to make ends meet. Without money, she will be at a loss.

However, just as Liu Ruyan lowered her head and thought about something, Xiao Tao trotted in happily, her voice full of excitement and excitement. "Madam Liu, Madam Liu, the master is here."

"Oh, I see." Liu Ruyan nodded calmly. Come if you want. Could it be that he is as arrogant as the emperor that she, who is pregnant, has to go out to greet him?

In this dimension, she is almost turning into a shrew.

Xiao Tao opened her mouth slightly, wondering how could Aunt Liu be so calm? In the past, whenever the eldest master was mentioned, Aunt Liu would become extremely excited.

After a while, Lin Ruhai walked in.

This was the first time Liu Ruyan met Lin Daiyu's father, Lin Ruhai, who did not match his image in the TV series, where he was a haggard and old uncle.

However, in reality, she was facing a handsome uncle. She prefers younger ones, that is, uncles like Lin Ruhai, who are not her type.

"I, Liu, greet the master." She greeted him just like the original owner did when she met Lin Ruhai.

Lin Ruhai nodded, "You are in poor health now, so please don't bother with the formalities."

Liu Ruyan: “Yes.”

Since he was here, it would not be her style not to take advantage of him. Liu Ruyan was thinking about how to ask him for some money to spend.

His eyes caught sight of Xiaotao standing beside him.

"Xiao Tao, go and get some hot water for the master so he can moisten his throat." Liu Ruyan called Xiao Tao and then gave her a wink, who immediately understood.

Xiao Tao: "I will go right away."

Lin Ruhai coughed lightly and said, "Don't bother, I'll just sit for a while and leave."

Liu Ruyan smiled, "Since the master is here, it's not too late to sit down and drink some hot water before leaving."

How can she ask for money if she doesn't sit down?

Faced with Liu Ruyan's enthusiasm, Lin Ruhai sat down helplessly. His eyes fell on her slightly bulging belly, and a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes.

It is one thing that Lin Ruhai feels sorry for his wife, but he also really wants a son of his own, and his wife's body is no longer suitable for pregnancy.

If he had a son, at least the clan would no longer keep an eye on him, allowing him to choose a stepson to be adopted within the five lucky years to inherit his family business.

Yu'er is weak and needs to be nurtured with precious medicinal herbs. His family business is left to Yu'er to prolong her life. If the Lin family is handed over to a stepson who has no blood relationship with him, it will be of no benefit to Yu'er.

But if Yu'er had a blood-related brother, firstly, he would get his own share and would not have to compete with Yu'er; secondly, he could be Yu'er's support. When Yu'er got married in the future, her family would have a half-brother to support her, and her husband's family would not dare to bully Yu'er easily.

The two of them had their own thoughts. Liu Ruyan took the boiled water brought by Xiaotao and handed it to Lin Ruhai with both hands.

She smiled and said, "Master, please don't look down on me because my place is so shabby. I am not like you, my wife. You have a family that is illustrious and reliable, and a generous dowry. I came to the Lin Mansion alone, and I rely on you for everything. Please make do with me today."

She felt that what she said had been tactful enough and that anyone would be able to understand what she meant, so she should show some respect next.

Lin Ruhai naturally understood what Liu meant.

Just as Liu said, Liu had no family on her mother's side and was an orphan. Unlike his wife, when she married him, she had a generous dowry. At that time, he was just a third place winner of the imperial examination. Marrying his wife was definitely marrying up from the Jia family. Even the servants and old women were brought from the Jia family to the Lin family by his wife.

Ever since Liu came into the mansion, he had ignored her when she was pregnant in order to take her feelings into consideration. Today was also his first time entering Liu's room. The furnishings here were indeed a bit shabby, and she had really been wronged these days.

After Lin Ruhai returned, he picked out two shop deeds and some mid-range gold, silver and jade articles and asked his servants to deliver them to Liu.

As soon as Lin Ruhai entered Liu's yard, he gave Liu the shop deed. Jia Min got the news immediately.

Listening to the maid's report, Jia Min, who was teasing her daughter, frowned slightly and the smile on her lips disappeared in an instant.

The nanny holding Lin Daiyu said, "Grandma, Liu's baby is not even born yet, but she dares to compete with Yujie'er, trying to coax the master into giving her a shop and gold, silver and jade. If she is asked to give birth to the baby, what will happen?"

Jia Min's eyes sank slightly, obviously she had heard what the nanny said.

别苑

Xiao Tao's joyful voice rang out: "Madam Liu, the master has sent something to you."

Liu Ruyan's eyes lit up and she hurriedly said, "Bring it in quickly so I can see it."

Liu Ruyan opened it and took a look. There were deeds to two shops and some gold, silver and jade articles of not very good quality.

Two silver hairpins inlaid with gems, several gold rings inlaid with gems, a pair of pearl-inlaid earrings, a pair of gold-inlaid turquoise earrings, a pair of white jade bracelets, and a pair of jadeite bracelets. The quality of these items is not good. In ancient times, they were things that concubines could wear and were not valuable. But in modern times, they would be antiques worth a small amount of money.

She had a lot of things in her space that were of better quality than this. She collected all the good-looking things she saw when she was a concubine in the palace. She could take them out from her space and use them, but they were the spoils of her missions, and she just didn't want to use them. Besides, she was pregnant with the Lin family's child, and it was Lin Ruhai's turn to raise him.

The account books of the two shops were also sent over. Liu Ruyan opened the account books and took a look. The revenue of the two shops was negative. This meant that the shops were losing money.

"Why didn't you send some good jewelry as a gift? You just sent some mid-range items to be perfunctory. Now you send two shops that are losing money. Who are you trying to annoy?" She couldn't help but curse out loud.

When Xiao Tao heard Aunt Liu's complaints, her face turned pale: "Aunt Liu, is the shop that the master gave to Aunt Liu really losing money?"

Liu Ruyan nodded.

Although she had no worries about reviving the shop now that it was in her hands, this was still too disgusting.

She had never seen a man like Lin Ruhai.

Xiao Tao couldn't help but complain: "The master is too much. Aunt Liu's life is already difficult enough. Now she is pregnant with the master's blood, but the master sent two burdensome shops to suck Aunt Liu's blood. Aunt Liu, what should we do?"

I thought the master had a change of heart, but I never expected that the master didn't have a change of heart, but wanted to trick Concubine Liu.

They didn't know that Lin Ruhai had just picked two shops at random and didn't know that the shops were losing money.

Although Liu Ruyan could revitalize the two shops, why should she suffer this loss?

Even though she was in a deficit, Liu Ruyan never thought of returning the two shop deeds she had obtained, but Lin Ruhai had to compensate her with the new shop.

If the man is not capable, then she will have to find some benefits for her unborn son.

Liu Ruyan waved at Xiao Tao, motioning her to come closer. Xiao Tao came closer, and then she whispered in Xiao Tao's ear, "Well, take the account books of these two shops to find him in the front yard, and then..."

After hearing Aunt Liu's instructions, Xiao Tao ran to the front yard with the account books of the two shops.

Lin Ruhai frowned and looked at Liu's maid who brought back the shop account book. The moment he saw the account book, he suddenly realized that Liu was an orphan with a poor family background and definitely did not know how to read the account book. It was also his fault for ignoring this point. He should assign her a nanny who could manage the accounts.

Lin Ruhai: "You go back first. I will pick a housekeeper to send to Liu's courtyard tomorrow."

Xiao Tao knew that the master had misunderstood, so she said directly, "Master, the shop you gave to Madam Liu is losing money. It's almost the end of the month, and we have to pay the employees monthly wages. This is another expense. Madam Liu has no money, and she really doesn't have the money to make up for the loss of the shop and pay the employees monthly wages."

After hearing Xiao Tao's intention, Lin Ruhai felt ashamed. So the two shops he chose were losing money?

When he opened the account book, he saw that the revenue was negative, which was indeed a mistake on his part.

Afterwards, Lin Ruhai specifically looked at the deeds of two shops with good revenue, then transferred some cash and selected a housekeeper and gave them all to Liu.

Lin Ruhai gave Liu two shops again. After Jia Min got the news, she couldn't control her emotions and accidentally knocked over a piece of porcelain. The pieces fell all over the floor. Lin Daiyu was frightened by the sound of the pieces and burst into tears.

"Be good, don't cry, don't cry, Yujie'er..." The nanny coaxed Yujie'er softly and signaled the maid with her eyes to clean up the porcelain fragments.

The maid cautiously raised her head and glanced at the grandmother. The grandmother was dignified and gentle, and never acted like this. She lowered her head and bent over to clean up the porcelain fragments.

Liu Ruyan had no idea what happened in the main courtyard.

Now she had acquired four shops and was feeling very happy. The two new shops given to her by Lin Ruhai were next to each other and covered a large area. They mainly sold food. She heard from Nanny Hu about the details and found that the shop had a good geographical location in Yangzhou. She planned to renovate it and open a Yangzhou restaurant.

Then Liu Ruyan also put a lot of effort into revitalizing the other two shops. She transformed them from groceries and reopened the two shops to sell rouge and powder for women.

The two shops that were previously losing money were on the verge of bankruptcy. Ever since Liu Ruyan remodeled them and started selling rouge and powder again, the new lipsticks and perfumes have become the hottest products in the rouge shop. The business is extremely booming every day, and the revenue is better than that of the restaurant.

Of course, the newly opened restaurants are also doing extremely hot business.

Now that Liu Ruyan had money, she asked Madam Hu and Xiao Tao to buy a few maids from human traffickers.

Now that Liu Ruyan has replaced all the people around her with her own, the Jia family has no choice but to not want the Lin family to have descendants.

Jia Min's attention was all on Lin Daiyu and Liu Ruyan, and she ignored the other concubines in the backyard.

When the concubines in the backyard saw that Liu Ruyan was pregnant and had gotten a shop, their lives had greatly improved, and they all seemed to see hope again.

She tried her best to win favor, but she didn't know that the efforts of the concubines in the backyard were in vain. Jia Min would not let the women in the backyard have children.

After Jia Min gave birth to Lin Daiyu, the Jia family sent someone to Yangzhou to congratulate them for the first time. The person who came was Jia Hao, the eldest son of the Jia family.

When he came, he brought gifts for his younger sisters Jia Min and Daiyu, and stayed at the Lin family for a few days.

Jia Hao stayed for a few days and then returned to the capital.

Jia Min wanted to monopolize Lin Ruhai. When her eldest brother came in person once, Jia Min straightened her back even more and focused all her attention on dealing with Liu Ruyan.

This is really disgusting. Just because Jia Min treated the original owner and the child in her belly harshly, and now she is still thinking about dealing with the child in her belly, Liu Ruyan has to make things difficult for Jia Min.

When the baby in Liu Ruyan's belly was already nine months old, just a few days ago, Aunt Zhao, who was in her early thirties in the backyard, suddenly announced the good news that she was three months pregnant.

Aunt Zhao kept the secret for three full months before she revealed the good news of her pregnancy.

When the news of Aunt Zhao's pregnancy came out, it was not good news for Jia Min. Jia Min was so angry that she fell ill.

Liu Ruyan was also shocked. Aunt Zhao was pregnant?

Every time Jia Min does something, it is unlikely that the people in the backyard will get pregnant.

This is so strange.

Liu Ruyan had someone keep an eye on Aunt Zhao for a few days before she discovered that Lin Ruhai was cheating on her.

Jia Hao came here once last time and had a secret meeting with Aunt Zhao late at night, and then Aunt Zhao got pregnant.

The Jia family couldn't do anything with the baby in her belly, so Jia Hao had evil intentions and came to the Lin family like a gangster. What a guy, what a guy, only the Jia family could think of such a stupid move.

Liu Ruyan has been pregnant for nine months. In the past few days, she has clearly felt her belly sinking. This feeling means that she is about to give birth.

Xiao Tao: "Madam Liu, I have invited Doctor Jiang."

Liu Ruyan put down the account book and said, "Let him in quickly."

Xiaotao slightly turned sideways and let the person in.

Her collar was wide open, revealing her chest and cleavage. He took one look and immediately lowered his head, his earlobes slightly red.

When I met her a few months ago, she was just a thin little woman. I didn't expect that in just a few months, her figure had become so plump.

Liu Ruyan didn't realize this. She was pregnant and habit made her want to wear looser clothes.

The eldest master didn't come. Ever since he gave four shops to Aunt Liu, he became indifferent to the backyard. When he went into the backyard, he mostly stayed at the eldest mistress's place.

Occasionally he would rest in the concubines' room in the backyard, but not in the room of the pregnant Aunt Liu.

Xiao Tao has become accustomed to Aunt Liu's freedom in dressing, and naturally thinks that this is normal for Aunt Liu.
