After the system ran, I took off with my family

Chapter 291: Acquired Property, Midnight Visitors (2 Chapters Combined into 1 Chapter)

But thinking of the way her cousin looked at that stinky girl that day, a hint of cruelty flashed across her eyes, and she suddenly turned her head to look at the woman on the ground.

"I want her face to be completely destroyed, and then I want to cut off her hands and feet and throw her into a dilapidated temple."

This princess wants to see how she can seduce my cousin without her looks and limbs.

The woman on the ground trembled and raised her eyes slightly, just in time to see the twisted, sinister look on her master's delicate face.

"...yes."

...........

When Lin Shuyue returned to Qinglu Lane and saw Ye Han, she was only slightly stunned, then she guessed his purpose and greeted him, "Master Ye, please take a seat."

Qinghe brought two cups of freshly brewed hot tea and placed them next to the two of them, then took away the cup that Ye Han had left behind.

Ye Han did not keep the secret and directly took out a box and handed it to Lin Shuyue, "Miss Yue, this is given to you by the emperor. Please take a look and see if you are satisfied."

"Oh? Is it a house or a shop?" Lin Shuyue raised her eyebrows, took the box and asked casually. Her hands moved quickly and the box was opened with a snap.

What caught my eye were two thin pieces of paper. I picked them up and saw that they were actually two deeds. The top deed was the deed to a house, and the bottom one was the deed to a restaurant.

Tsk tsk...

The emperor was quite generous. She originally thought that he would only give her a house or a restaurant, but he didn't expect that he would give her both.

In the capital city where every inch of land is valuable, a restaurant alone would cost at least several thousand taels, not to mention a house. The two together would cost more than ten thousand taels, maybe even more.

She first looked at the title deed of the house. The address written on the title deed was on Changqing Street in East City. The area written on the title deed seemed quite large. However, all the people living in East City were important officials of the second rank and above. Was such a house suitable for her?

Suppressing the doubts in her heart, she carefully looked at the restaurant's deed. When she saw the address on the deed, she looked at Ye Han with some confusion.

"Master Ye, how come this contract belongs to Honghe Tower? Wasn't Honghe Tower not involved?"

Ye Han put down the cup and smiled, saying: "This deed of Honghe Tower was obtained by His Majesty in exchange for other things from the Han Mansion."

After that, he explained: "The Han Mansion is the maiden home of the second young master's wife of the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion."

The emperor originally wanted to give the other restaurant to Lin Shuyue, but he remembered Tiansheng's request that day and mentioned it to the emperor. The emperor also knew that Lin Shuyue and Tiansheng had contributed to Pingyuan Hou's collusion with the enemy, so he agreed after thinking for a moment.

Lin Shuyue naturally guessed that Ye Han must have helped to speak up for this matter, so she thanked him and asked about the situation of the house on Changqing Street in Dongcheng.

Ye Han naturally told him everything he knew and explained the situation of the house one by one.

It turned out that the house was the residence of the former Youdu Yushi. Half a year ago, he was confiscated and exiled for the crime of harboring a criminal, and the house was confiscated.

"Miss Lin, this house is only two blocks away from the Qin Mansion on Nankang Street, and it is also close to Qingsong College. The emperor spent a long time considering this house before deciding on it."

This was someone he and the Emperor had spent a long time selecting. He had checked the Lin family's situation before, so he knew that Miss Lin's eldest brother worked in the Zhenhai Division, and the second brother was studying in the academy, and seemed to be doing well.

But what a coincidence, he and the emperor had not expected that the young man praised by Governor Xiao in his letter was Miss Lin's brother.

All I can say is that the three children of the Lin family are very outstanding. Not to mention Miss Lin, just her two brothers will probably have a bright future.

Therefore, they decided on this house after considering various factors. Since they were going to give it away, they would give it to the one that suits them best.

After hearing his words, Lin Shuyue expressed her satisfaction. She did not expect the emperor to be so thoughtful. Whether it was the house or the restaurant, they were all to her liking.

Seeing her smile, Ye Han couldn't help but smile too. Thinking of something, he took out a very small box and said, "Oh, Tiansheng also made a contribution this time. This is a reward from the emperor. Please give it to him, Miss Lin."

Lin Shuyue was a little surprised, but also happy for Tiansheng. She took the box but did not open it. She put it on the table and stood up to pay her respects to him. "Master Ye, please thank the emperor on behalf of me and Tiansheng. I will also send a message to Master to inform him of this matter."

Ye Han smiled and nodded in agreement, and then told her about the case of Pingyuan Hou's treason and treason.

Lin Shuyue frowned and asked in confusion, "What is the reason for Pingyuan Hou to collude with the Turks? Why did he collude with the enemy when he was a good marquis? And why did he want to murder the queen?"

After saying that, her eyes suddenly widened. "Could it be that Pingyuan Hou was pushed out by someone else to block the knife? There is a big fish behind it!"

A smile flashed across Ye Han's eyes and he nodded in appreciation, but he didn't say anything else. Instead, he stood up and said goodbye.

Seeing this, Lin Shuyue didn't ask any more questions. She sent him to the door, got on the carriage and left the alley before turning back to the study.

"Qingzhi, go and ask Tiansheng to come over."

While putting the two deeds into the space, she shouted to Qingzhi outside the door.

After a while, Tiansheng came in with a rosy little face.

"Sister Yue, are you looking for me?"

Lin Shuyue looked at him with a smile, "How do you feel? Can you still hold on?"

"Sister Yue, I can hold on. Master Qingsheng said that I can start learning swordsmanship in another month."

She was born to nod vigorously, with a pair of sparkling eyes.

"Good, very good." Lin Shuyue praised, then took the small box on the table and handed it to him, "This is the reward from the emperor, keep it well."

She didn't say it explicitly, but I knew what reward she was talking about. I took the box with some trembling, "Sister Yue, has that bad guy been punished?"

Lin Shuyue glanced at his red eyes and said seriously, "Well, Shopkeeper Wu and the Turkic man who strangled Aunt Man to death have both been arrested. They have both been sentenced to death and will be executed in a few days."

"Tian Sheng, you are great. You helped Aunt Man to get revenge. Aunt Man's spirit in heaven will thank you too."

Tiansheng was silent for a moment while holding the box, and then he smiled again: "Well, I understand, thank you Sister Yue..."

"Well, take a look at what the emperor gave you as a reward."

Lin Shuyue was also a little curious. The box was not big and she wondered what was inside.

Tiansheng smiled, put the box on the table and opened it gently. When he saw what was in the box, a big smile appeared on his face.

Lin Shuyue also leaned forward to take a look, then raised her eyebrows in surprise. It turned out to be a box of broken silver, all of which were small silver pieces of one tael each. This box should contain one hundred taels.

"You should keep it well and don't spend it recklessly. In a few years, you can use it to get married." She patted Tiansheng's shoulder and said jokingly.

"Sister Yue..."

My neck is naturally a little red, I don’t know if it’s because of shyness or excitement.

........

In the following days, Lin Shuyue traveled back and forth between the inner city and the outer city every day. She planned to open Xunwei Tower as soon as possible. Honghe Tower had already begun to be renovated according to the drawings she had drawn, and she asked Madam Qin's steward to help find the craftsmen.

As for the person to manage Xunweilou, she was hesitating whether to let Manager Hu come to Beijing, but after Manager Hu left, there was no one to manage Xunweilou in Sishui County, so she was still hesitating.

Lin Shuyue sighed helplessly. It seemed that she still needed to train more people, otherwise she wouldn't be able to find anyone when she needed them.

As for the house on Changqing Street in East City, she had only visited it once.

The house was very big. In addition to the front yard and the main yard, there were five other large yards. Of course, there were rockery, gardens, small lakes, and pavilions. If it was well decorated, it would not be much worse than the Qin Mansion.

Because it had been vacant for half a year and no one had taken care of it, the house still remained in the state it was in when it was ransacked and was in a mess.

Therefore, after walking around the house, Lin Shuyue went directly to the pawnshop and bought back more than a dozen servants, including maids, cooks, and housekeepers, and moved them to the new house.

Originally, she was planning to see if there was a suitable person to buy back to be the restaurant manager, but after looking around, she didn't find any suitable candidate.

During the days when she was busy, the case of Pingyuan Hou's treason was also settled. Many officials were involved in the case. All of them were sentenced to death and beheaded in the downtown area as a public display.

As for the family members of those officials involved in the case, all male members were sentenced to death, and all female members were sent to the Jiaofangsi and became official prostitutes.

During those days, the air in the capital seemed to be filled with a faint smell of blood. The people were somewhat uneasy, and the ministers in the court were even more cautious, fearing that they would be caught.

In such an atmosphere, the wedding day of the son of Minister Qin and Princess Changning arrived.

When Lin Shuyue arrived at the Qin Mansion, Qin Song had already set out to the palace gate to welcome the princess.

At this time, the Qin Mansion was filled with red silk and brocade, big red lanterns were hung high, and dazzling "囍" characters could be seen everywhere. The whole mansion was festive and lively.

The guests had arrived, and Old Madam Qin came out to take charge, chatting with the old ladies from various mansions who had come to attend the wedding banquet. Madam Qin was busy with the two young ladies of the Qin family. The sisters Qin Manzhen and Qin Manyin also followed the young ladies from various mansions who had come to attend the wedding banquet, but the three brothers of the Qin family followed their third uncle to welcome the bride.

When Qin Song brought the princess back, the excitement reached its climax.

Maidservants cleared the way with flower petals flying all over the sky, and Qin Song led Princess Changning, who was wearing a phoenix crown and a bridal robe, step by step along the red carpet towards the main hall.

It was the first time that Lin Shuyue saw an ancient wedding, and she was a little shocked for a moment.

In the main hall, Old Lady Qin sat on the high seat, Madam Qin and Minister Qin sat on both sides, and the bridesmaids sang auspicious words.

When worshiping in the hall, the princess did not need to kneel down to pay homage to the groom's parents, so Princess Changning bowed. After the ceremony, she was escorted to the bridal chamber, and the groom toasted her next.

Qin Song wore a bright red wedding dress, and with a rosy face, he walked among the guests with the three Qin brothers and several good friends. Perhaps because he was too happy, he accepted almost everyone who came. Fortunately, the guests took the princess into consideration and did not dare to be too presumptuous.

When she walked to Lin Shuyue's table, she raised her glass and looked at Qin Song, who had a clear face, a blush on his neck, and a happy look all over his body. She smiled and said, "Happy wedding, Brother Qin. I wish you and the princess a long and happy marriage."

"Thank you, Ayue."

Qin Song smiled heartily, then drank the wine in the glass, and then continued walking in circle with Qin Zhizhou and his two brothers.

Qin Manzhen, who was standing aside, looked at her uncle's back and whispered to Lin Shuyue, "My uncle is very happy today. I remember he was a little unhappy when the marriage was granted."

"Manzhen!"

Qin Manyin quickly tugged at her sleeve, frowned and glared at her. Qin Manzhen knew that she had said the wrong thing, so she quickly closed her mouth and blinked at Lin Shuyue.

Lin Shuyue knocked her head helplessly, "Be careful with your words, if someone hears this, something bad will happen.

Well, it's getting late, and I should go back. Take me to say goodbye to the old lady and your grandmother."

"All right…"

Qin Manzhen knew she was in the wrong, so she said something to Qin Manyin and took her to find the old lady.

It was almost time for garrison when she came out of the Qin Mansion, which was decorated with lights and lanterns, and returned to Qinglu Lane. As usual, she went to see Tiansheng and the others who were still practicing martial arts before returning to the backyard.

At midnight, the people who had been busy all day had fallen asleep, and the Qin Mansion, which had been bustling all day, also became quiet.

In the quiet Qinglu Lane, a black shadow quickly passed by the rooftops and then stopped silently on a roof.

The black shadow looked around the quiet yard cautiously, then gently lifted the tiles beneath him and sprinkled the prepared medicine powder.

After waiting for a while, the black shadow landed quietly and ran straight to the dark main room. Then the sound of fighting was heard in the room, but it became quiet in less than a moment, and candlelight suddenly lit up in the dark room.

Lin Shuyue, who was wearing a white inner garment, tore off the mask of the man in black, revealing a beautiful female face.

Without caring about being surprised, she quickly pried open the woman's mouth and took a closer look. After confirming that there was no drug hidden in her mouth, she let go of her hand and stood up to look down at the woman in black.

"Who are you? Who sent you?"

The captured woman knelt on the ground, as if she didn't hear her question. She just lowered her eyes and looked at the ground without saying a word.

Lin Shuyue stared at the woman for a moment, then chuckled, returned to the table and sat down, then flipped his wrist and threw a piece of talisman paper into the cup of tea on the table.

She picked up the cup and walked towards the woman in black step by step. Then she squatted down, pinched the woman's chin, and quickly poured the magic water into the woman's mouth.

"Cough cough cough..."

The woman in black coughed a few times, and her expressionless face finally showed a hint of panic.

Lin Shuyue sat back at the table, looking at the woman in black calmly, but secretly complaining in her heart.

This mantra talisman is really troublesome. I have to take it with water every time. It would be much better if it could be replaced with a mantra pill. It would be much easier to just put it in your mouth.

"Tell me, who are you? Who sent you? What's your purpose?"

"I'm…"

The woman in black suddenly widened her eyes and closed her mouth in fear, trying to stop the words from coming out. However, no one can resist the power of the mantra, and the next moment she answered Lin Shuyue's questions one by one.

After a cup of tea, the woman in black knelt on the ground, looking a little dazed.

Destroy my appearance and cut off my limbs?

Lin Shuyue sneered, then looked at the woman on the ground and asked, "Who else knows what the princess asked you to do besides you?"

The bewildered woman in black shook her head. "No one else knows. Whenever the princess gives orders for such things, she always sends people away."
