The daughter of the first wife is a black lotus, reborn and remarried to kill

When he was struggling to take out the purse from his arms, he was stunned by a slender hand reaching out to him.

Then a pleasant female voice was heard: "I paid for this money on your behalf."

His first reaction was that Li Qingqian had arrived, so he looked up hastily. When he saw that the person was not Li Qingqian, the smile on his face faded a little.

Yes, Li Qingqian should have already entered the palace at this moment, so why would she appear here to help me?

When I think about my current predicament while Li Qingqian is doing so well, I feel that she is so cruel.

"I don't know who this girl is, but she is so generous and kind, I have no way to repay her."

In fact, Jiang Lin had seen Cui'er, but when Li Shuyue brought her to see him twice, she happened to see him and Ling Ling doing something.

Jiang Lin has always had only Ling Ling in his eyes. If he hadn't been pointing at the silver in Li Shuyue's hand, he probably wouldn't even remember her name, let alone Cui'er.

Cui Er didn't rush to answer his question, but handed the ten taels of silver to the leader of the moving team, "There are a lot of things at home, and it may be a bit difficult to move them. The other two taels of silver are just to treat you to tea."

The leader was naturally happy to receive the tip, and was busy directing his men to move those things.

Cui Er turned to Jiang Lin and smiled, "Master Jiang, you don't remember me. I am Cui Er, the personal maidservant of the fourth lady of the Li family."

Jiang Lin tried hard to recall it in his mind, but couldn't remember it.

"I wonder why the young lady came here today?"

Given Li Shuyue's personality, she would definitely not want to do something as good as asking Cui'er to lend her money.

Unexpectedly, Cui'er took out three silver bills from her sleeve pocket and handed them to Jiang Lin.

Jiang Lin took them and looked at them. Each one was in the denomination of one hundred taels.

He was dumbfounded and asked stutteringly: "What does this mean?"

Cui Er smiled slightly, "My fourth daughter is urging you to pay back the money. I guess you can't come up with that much silver at once, right?"

Jiang Lin couldn't help but lower his head, his cheeks flushed.

Of the money he got from Li Shuyue, a small portion was used to buy medicine for his aunt, and the other majority was used to buy various things for Ling Ling.

He and Aunt Jiang didn't have many things to begin with, and ninety percent of these dozens of boxes were gold, silver, and jewelry bought for Ling Ling. He thought that after getting married, he would have a reason to bring Ling Ling to his side, and these things must be kept for her.

Cui Er took a look at his expression and said, "This silver can not only solve your urgent needs, but also provide security for your future life."

Jiang Lin thought about it in his mind, and then said something he was sure of now: "Are these all given to me by your third daughter?"

After thinking about it, he could only think of Li Qingqian as a possibility.

Li Shuyue hadn't given him money for a long time, and he must have been annoyed with him for a long time.

But Li Qingqian was different. Since she could give herself the ten taels of silver, it meant she gave herself hope. If she could give herself ten taels of silver, she could naturally give herself the three hundred taels of silver as well.

But Cui Er smiled and covered her lips: "My lord, you are so bold. The third lady is about to marry into the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, and has been granted the grace of His Majesty to enter the palace to wait for marriage. Why would she come to provoke you?"

After saying that, he looked Jiang Lin up and down.

The implication of these words is very clear, Li Qingqian simply looks down on Jiang Lin.

But Jiang Lin stubbornly believed that Li Qingqian was jealous because he did not marry her but was about to marry her sister.

Although Cui'er could no longer hide the sarcasm in her words towards him, Jiang Lin still didn't dare to fight back at this moment. What if someone took the banknote back?

Cui Er smiled contemptuously, "It seems that my good intentions have really gone to waste. I finally saved some money and wanted to help you, but you only wanted to marry into an official family. In this case, you should return the money to me."

As he said this, he pretended to take back the banknotes.

Jiang Lin was so frightened that he quickly took a few steps back with the banknote, and then his face turned red with shame for his action.

Cui Er smiled again and said, "Okay, I won't beat around the bush. I came to see you today, even though it's to help you, it's also to help myself."

Jiang Lin raised his head and looked at her with confusion in his eyes.

"You want to take this money, but there are conditions," Cui Er walked a few steps closer, "I want you to make me your aunt after marriage."

Jiang Lin frowned, becoming even more confused by her words.

Cui Er explained calmly: "You want to become a superior person through the imperial examination, and I am naturally unwilling to be a slave for the rest of my life. Now I lend you money to help you out of your urgent need, and I naturally have to make plans for myself."

Aunt Jiang, who was eavesdropping on the conversation between the two at the gate of the courtyard, became a little worried after hearing this. There would be another person in Jiang Lin's room?

But she did not choose to go out to stop it at this time, but listened patiently.

Jiang Lin asked thoughtfully, "Is this your only request?"

"Of course not," Cui Er chuckled, "I still need a child to take care of me, so after I enter the mansion, don't think of ignoring me."

Before Jiang Lin could say anything, Aunt Jiang lost her temper and came in front of the two of them pretending to cough.

Jiang Lin quickly stepped forward to support her, "Aunt, why did you come out? Are you feeling unwell again?"

Aunt Jiang waved her hands to show that she was fine, then looked at Cui'er beside her in surprise, "Did anyone come to the house today?"

Cui'er sneered in her heart, this old woman was really good at pretending and acting. On the way to Jinyuyuan, she expressed her disgust for the Fourth Young Lady in her words and deeds, but when she was in front of the Fourth Young Lady, she instantly pretended to be humble and even tried to sow discord between the Fourth Young Lady and the Madam.

Unfortunately, Cui Er didn't buy it. "Home? Aunt, your memory seems to be a little bad. After today, this house is no longer your home."

Aunt Jiang was slightly stunned. In the past, those who wanted to get close to Jiang Lin, whether it was Ling Ling or Li Shuyue, at least when Jiang Lin was present, they did not dare to speak to her with this attitude.

She almost subconsciously looked at Jiang Lin, but the man who had always treated her like his own mother just lowered his head and let Cui'er say this, without any sign of supporting her.

Jiang Lin was actually dissatisfied in his heart, but at this moment he didn't dare to say a word because of the three hundred taels of silver.

He did not refute, so Cui Er continued: "But it doesn't matter. When I enter the mansion in the future, I will definitely help my fourth daughter to serve Aunt. Mr. Jiang, I came here this time just to get your promise. If you don't want to, you can return the money to me now, and I will pretend that I have never been here today."

How could Jiang Lin be willing to give up the money he had already obtained?

"No, young lady, you helped me out of righteousness and you are indebted to me. How could I be so ungrateful?" He hastily assured her, "Please rest assured, young lady, after I marry Shu Yue, I will make you my concubine and treat you with courtesy from now on."

Cui Er shook her head. "What kind of proof is a verbal promise? How about this? I have already recorded this amount of money before I left the house. Now, as long as Mr. Jiang writes a letter of guarantee, the matter will be settled."

Jiang Lin breathed a sigh of relief. It was just writing a letter of guarantee and it wouldn't take much time.

Moreover, with this letter of guarantee, he could give Lingling an explanation in the future: he did not take her as a concubine on his own initiative, but had to do so because he needed her help.

Although he was feeling relaxed, Aunt Jiang was not calm at all.

We finally managed to send Ling Ling back to Bailian Town, and now another one comes!

Forget about Li Shuyue. After all, she is the daughter of an official and will be of great help to Jiang Lin's future.

But now even a maid can be so arrogant. She humiliated him like that, but Jiang Lin still agreed to take her as a concubine?

Seeing Jiang Lin bringing Cui'er into the study, writing a letter of guarantee and pressing their fingerprints, Aunt Jiang's eyes became even gloomier.

These shameless bastards, seeing that Jiang Lin was a scholar and would achieve great things in the future, all pounced on him and stuck to him.

But the position of Jiang Lin’s legal wife should have belonged to her daughter from the very beginning!

It was she who brought Jiang Lin, who lost his parents at a young age, home and raised him. It was her daughter who fell into the water to save Jiang Lin, but Jiang Lin's heart and eyes were full of Ling Ling.

Now he is even more ungrateful. Not only does he want to marry the daughter of the prime minister, he also wants to take her maid as a concubine. How abominable!

Cui'er went back home happily with the letter of guarantee.

After she left, Aunt Jiang covered her chest and gasped for breath, as if she was about to faint at the next moment.

Jiang Lin quickly went forward to support her and promised her: "Aunt, I promise this is the last time. As long as we can hold on until I pass the March Spring Examination, nothing will happen."

When Cui'er returned to Jinyuyuan, Yulian was still guarding the courtyard and the door was still closed. It seemed that she came back at the right time. Liu was probably still talking to Li Shuyue.

"Are you back soon?" Yu Lian looked at the bags in her hands.

These were all bought by Cui'er on the way back to cover up her lie.

She handed Yulian a bag of snacks with a flattering look on her face, "This is for my sister. Thank you so much for today."

Yu Lian enjoyed this feeling very much. In the past, she was the one who pleased Yu Luo in this way, and now it was someone else's turn to please her.

The two maids were whispering to each other, and the atmosphere between Liu and Li Shuyue in the room was far from peaceful.
