I am cannon fodder, but I can hug thighs

Lin Zhi was sweating profusely: "There must be a misunderstanding between me and the Prime Minister. The reason why I..."

"Sir, we are not fools, and there is no one else here, so let's talk openly." The butler is the butler of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Even if he has no official position, he can still stand up straight in front of Lin Zhi. "If my master had someone drive Miss Lin Liu out of the mansion that day, do you know what Miss Lin Liu would do? As for the Minister's thoughts, why not think about it carefully and believe it yourself?"

If she cancels the marriage proposal with the Prince of Jin and loses her reputation, she will be doomed.

If it were someone else's family, even if she really had to be raised to be a concubine in someone else's house, it would be a humiliation.

"My master, as he is an aide to the Minister and works for His Majesty together, could not bear to see Miss Lin Liu fall into a situation where she is criticized by the public. And now my master has informed His Majesty that he wants to take Miss Lin Liu as his sister. The title of Lin family's daughter is no longer useful." The housekeeper snorted coldly.

The late emperor became senile in his later years, and Minister Lin was one of the few wise ministers, so they gave face to Minister Lin. However, after so many years, Minister Lin also began to become stupid.

Lin Zhi's face turned completely pale: "Even the Prime Minister cannot snatch someone else's daughter!"

"Are you reluctant to part with your daughter, or are you afraid of the emperor's punishment?" The housekeeper looked at Lin Zhi coldly, "Your daughter died two months ago. The one who is alive now is Miss Song San, who lives in Miss Lin Liu's shell! As for robbing her, wasn't the person sent over by the minister himself? How can it be said to be robbing her?"

Everyone knows that their masters are loyal ministers. Since they dare to do such a thing, they should not be afraid of being found out by the emperor.

Before leaving, the housekeeper left behind Song Shiqiu's words of advice: "Our master thought that the third young lady was kind-hearted, so he allowed the third young lady to stay at the Lin Mansion. The minister must entertain her well and not let the third young lady Song suffer the same hardship that the sixth young lady Lin suffered."

How foolish! Can they climb up to the top just because they want to?

If everyone followed Minister Lin's example, the Prime Minister's Mansion would probably be overcrowded.

While warning Minister Lin, he was also warning everyone not to think that sending your daughter to the Prime Minister's Mansion would allow you to get on board the Prime Minister's Mansion's big ship. Having evil thoughts will only make you lose both the wife and the army.

Miss Lin Liu is lucky enough to become Miss Song San in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but others may not have this blessing.

No matter what, Lin Jin didn't dare to live with the heroine, and she didn't want to make it more difficult for herself to gain favor.

Xunmian and Xing'er followed Lin Jin back to the courtyard where Lin Jin lived before. When they saw the courtyard, their eyes became red: "Did the girl live here before?"

This yard is even more shabby than the dormitory bed that the maid lives in in the Prime Minister's Mansion. After all, the Lin family has been officials for three generations, so how could they let their master live in such a place?

Lin Jin smiled embarrassedly. The original owner's status was too low. She had no mother to compete for her favor since she was a child, so naturally she didn't have any good things. "Although it's a little old, it has everything you need. Don't worry. It's just hard for you to follow me."

"I feel sorry for you." Xun Mian held Lin Jin's hand and glared at the housekeeper of the Lin Mansion who was acting like a quail next to her. "You suffered so much in the past, and finally you are living a better life. But you have such a father. Even the servants can look at you without respect. Such a servant should be beaten to death in the Prime Minister's Mansion."

The girls couldn't say these words due to filial piety, but she could.

"I..." Lin Jin wanted to say that it wasn't hard, but she didn't say it after thinking of the original owner. The original owner had a hard life, and she couldn't erase the suffering the original owner had endured with just one sentence. "It's okay, it's all over."

"Sixth Miss!" Yin Qiao heard the voice, put down the work in her hands, walked out of the small kitchen, and smiled at Lin Jin, "You are finally back."

Lin Jin had a good impression of this woman who had taken care of her since she first came to this world. At least she didn't speak to her in a harsh tone: "Yinqiao, why are you still here?"

After all, she thought she would not come back at the beginning, and Yinqiao would have been assigned to serve other people.

Yinqiao smiled and said, "I am used to serving you, young lady, so I want to wait for you to come back."

Before Lin Jin could say anything, Xun Mian smiled and said, "So you are the maid who took care of the young lady before. But the young lady has been gone for two months. Why are there still so many weeds in the yard? You don't need to take care of the young lady when she is not around, so why don't you clean up the yard?"

Xunmian's voice was soft, but her words and eyes were sharp.

"How can we live in this yard?" Xing'er frowned, looking unhappy. "If the servants in the Prime Minister's Mansion were so lazy, they would be whipped."

"Is the young lady's bedroom ready?" Xunmian asked. Seeing Yinqiao freeze, her gentle features turned angry. "It looks like it's not ready? Where will the young lady live? If the Shangshu Mansion is so careless that there is no place for the young lady to rest, we will take her back now."

The housekeeper of the Lin Mansion changed his expression and scolded, "Yinqiao, how do you do this?"

Yin Qiao knelt down quickly and said, "It's all packed. I didn't react just now because I was so happy to see you."

The housekeeper pretended to scold Yinqiao a few times before perfunctorily saying, "Are you satisfied now, young lady? Although the Sixth Young Lady has lived in the Prime Minister's Residence for some time, she is still a young lady from our Lin Mansion. She still needs to be clear about herself."

Lin Jin smiled slightly: "Don't bother, I'll return this to you. It's best to be clear about your own identity. After all, the present is different from the past, and I am not completely helpless."

Lin Jin remembered this old man. When he threw her into the Prime Minister's Mansion, it was this man who said that she was content with being lowly and unwilling to enjoy wealth and glory, and that she deserved to be abandoned. He told her that if she was thrown out, she should find a river to jump into and drown, and not bring shame to the Lin Mansion.

The big villain shouldn't mind taking advantage of the power of others, right?

Xunmian said coldly: "Lanxi, Pingwu, slap them! Let him recognize his identity. He is just a steward of the Lin Mansion, and he dares to offend our girl."

Lanxi and Pingwu each pressured the butler, and one of them directly slapped the butler in the face.

Lin Jin was a little worried whether this would cause trouble for Song Shiqiu and the others. She glanced at Xunmian with concern and whispered in his ear, "Will this cause trouble for the adults and Sister Shixia?"

In the original book, the heroine still cares a lot about this family.

"Don't be afraid, young lady. Since the master asked us to come here, he naturally doesn't want you to be bullied." Xunmian comforted her, looking at the man who wanted to question her but was slapped by Lanxi again, and raised her voice, "Don't think that you are the master just because you wear a better dress. A servant is a servant. Even if the young lady is not favored, she is still your master. If you do it again next time, I will directly send you to the mistress of your Lin family. I want to see if Madam Lin will intervene."

The housekeeper was stunned. He had never expected that among the people Lin Jin brought back, there was a martial artist. "I am the housekeeper of the Lin Mansion. You are just a maid under my command. How dare you hit me? This is the Lin Mansion. When you come to the Lin Mansion, you should abide by the rules of the Lin Mansion."

"The rules of the Lin Mansion?" Song Shiqiu's voice came, followed closely by Lin Zhi, "Minister Lin, is it true that the rules of your family allow servants to bully their masters at will?"

Song Shiqiu had just come out of court, and thinking that Lin Jin would return to the Lin Mansion today, he originally didn't want to come in to disturb her. But then his steward came out and heard that Lin Zhi was going to marry Lin Jin to such a notorious man. He wanted to see with his own eyes what was going on.
