"Sister, you guessed it right. Do you know what the apology given by Mr. Wang was?" Lin Shuyan looked at Lin Shuyue mysteriously.

Before Lin Shuyue could say anything, he immediately said excitedly: "Sister, do you know? In addition to paying one thousand taels of silver notes as compensation, he also gave us the silver shop on Wenhua Street as compensation!"

"Silver shop?" Lin Shuyue stopped. She was indeed a little surprised. You know, there are only two or three silver shops in Sishui County, and they are all time-honored brands. No wonder her second brother was so excited.

Back in the hall, Li pulled Lin Shuyue aside and asked, "Little girl, was your trip smooth? Why did you come back just now? Is your brother adapting to the situation over there?"

Lin An and Lin Shuyan at the side also stared at her intently.

"Dad, Mom, and second brother, don't worry. Big brother has adapted well in Zhenhai Division. He even defeated those old soldiers." Lin Shuyue comforted them.

Then, she described in vivid detail how Lin Shuyuan selected the veterans in a group. Of course, these were also told to her by Han Guang.

Hearing that his eldest son, a rookie, was actually picking on veterans, Lin An laughed and scolded, "This kid is too aggressive. He's not afraid of offending people. Fortunately, those soldiers are broad-minded."

"Speaking of which, we should thank Governor Xiao very much. Next time we go to see A Yuan, let's bring some gifts. Don't give them too expensive, in case they have a bad impact." Li whispered to Lin An.

Lin An nodded in agreement, "We should thank them properly."

Lin Shuyan, who was sitting next to Lin Shuyue, tugged at her sleeve and asked in a low voice, "Sister, is Wanhe County fun? Is it hot and lively there?"

Lin Shuyue looked at her second brother who was looking forward to it, and said with a smile: "Wanhe County is very lively. Young men and women are welcome to go there for fun. The seafood there is delicious, and the houses there are also very unique. Let me tell you, their walls are all made of oyster shells..."

Seeing Lin Shuyan's eyes getting brighter, she smiled evilly and said, "Second brother, you only have one day off at the end of each month, but it takes more than a day to get to Wanhe County from here, so you may not be able to go to Wanhe County for the time being."

Lin Shuyan immediately frowned, looking at his evil-minded sister with resentment. Suddenly, he rolled his eyes and said loudly, "Sister, you were having so much fun in Wanhe County that you came back a few days late. Dad was worried that you couldn't eat."

Upon hearing this, Li, who was still discussing something with Lin An, turned to look at Lin Shuyue.

Lin Shuyue didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Seeing Li staring at her, she quickly explained, "Dad, Mom, please listen to my explanation. I didn't delay for so long on purpose. It was because of an emergency."

"What emergency? If you don't explain it clearly, don't even think about going out alone next time." Li said with a wry smile.

Lin Shuyue pondered for a moment and decided to tell Gao the story. She organized her words and said, "Dad, Mom, when I sent my eldest brother to Zhenhaisi the next day, I was planning to rush back after lunch, but who knew that I was targeted by someone, and later..."

A quarter of an hour later, she picked up the cup and took a sip of tea to moisten her throat. Lin An, Li and Lin Shuyan were still in shock from the bombshell she dropped and were frowning in thought.

After a long while, Li sighed, "What kind of luck do we have? We finally settled down here, but we might fight again in the future."

Lin An was a little angry, and said in a firm tone: "These barbarians, do they really think that our Great Zhou Dynasty is made of mud? If they really dare to invade, they will be sent away without return!"

"Dad, Mom, don't worry too much. What if they don't dare to come? The Zhenhai Division is already prepared. It's okay." Lin Shuyan was very optimistic. They were just barbarians from a tiny country.

Lin Shuyue nodded in agreement and continued, "Dad, I have to go back to the village this afternoon. I have to go to Giant Whale Island as soon as possible to get some wood."

"Okay, if you have nothing to do, I'll go back to the village with you in the afternoon." Lin An nodded.

"Little girl, I'll ask Mother Luo to prepare some food and daily necessities for you to take with you when you go to Giant Whale Island. It's not easy for the two brothers Xinlu and Xinyi." Mrs. Li suggested, remembering what her daughter had said about what she saw and heard on Giant Whale Island.

Lin Shuyue nodded in agreement.

Seeing that the masters had finished their talk, Mother Luo started to prepare the kitchen to serve the dishes. Less than a cup of tea after lunch, Chungu came to report that Mr. Wang's people had come to the gate to deliver something specially.

Lin An asked Chun Gu to lead him in. After a moment, a clever servant came in holding an exquisitely carved wooden box. As soon as he entered the flower hall, the servant kowtowed to Lin An several times.

"I, Wang Yin, greet Mr. Lin, Mrs. Lin, and the two young masters and young ladies."

Lin An looked at him and waved, "Get up, was it Wang Fusheng who sent you here?"

Wang Yin nodded and said respectfully, "Master Lin, my master sent me to bring you an apology."

As he spoke, he opened the lid of the gift box in his hand, and saw two silver notes worth five hundred taels in the box, and underneath the silver notes was a deed.

Qingyuan, who was waiting behind Lin An, stepped forward and took the gift box from the servant at Lin An's signal.

Lin An checked the deed carefully and handed it to Lin Shuyue after confirming that there was no problem.

"Okay, we have received the deed and the banknote. Go back and tell your master that if you dare to take advantage of us again, we will not be able to deal with you so easily."

The servant's face turned red with anger at Lin An's ruthless words, and he nodded repeatedly in response.

After the servant left, Lin Shuyue asked Qingyuan to call Manager Gao.

After half a cup of tea, Manager Gao followed Qingyuan to the flower hall.

"Greetings, Master, Madam, Second Young Master, Young Miss..." Manager Gao bowed, feeling uneasy in his heart.

A few days ago, the young lady asked him to keep an eye on the Wan family's restaurant, but the restaurant was taken over by Mr. Wang's family. After that, the young lady never assigned him any work, but still paid him the monthly salary as usual.

Now the master family despises him for being useless and wants to sell him out... Manager Gao lowered his head and his face turned paler the more he thought about it. He didn't want to leave the Lin family...

"Manager Gao, are you feeling unwell?" Lin Shuyue looked at Manager Gao, whose face was pale, with some confusion.

Shopkeeper Gao hurriedly explained, "No, no, I'm in good health. Thank you for your concern, Miss."

"Well, I remember you once said that you were the owner of a silver shop in your previous master's house?" Lin Shuyue asked.

Shopkeeper Gao nodded and lowered his eyebrows, "Yes, Miss."

"In that case, then I'll leave this silver shop to you." Lin Shuyue handed the deed to Manager Gao to look at.

"This..." Shopkeeper Gao took the deed, read it carefully, and said excitedly: "Thank you for your trust, young lady. I will do my duty and manage the silver shop with all my heart."
