She stood up and looked at the dark rain.
The trickling sound of falling rain struck her heart.
In her previous life, she knelt in such heavy rain and kowtowed to King Jinyang over and over again until her forehead bled, just so that he could spare the lives of the entire Jin family.
The wind blew by, blowing up the broken hair on her forehead, and her stunning face showed a bit of loneliness.
King Jinyang raised his head and happened to see the lonely Jin Yue. For a moment, he lost his mind.
He thought that because Jin Yue loved him so much, it must be his feelings for Yan Ruoshu that made her so sad.
A feeling of sympathy suddenly rose in his heart, and he subconsciously let go of Yan Ruoshu's shoulders.
Said: "Jin Yue, exchange Black Cliff Island for me, and I can let you go."
Yan Ruoshu was stunned when she heard this.
She looked at King Jinyang in disbelief, her smile stiff: "Your Majesty, what did you say?"
At this moment, King Jinyang felt an inexplicable feeling of guilt.
He ignored Yan Ruoshu's ugly expression and still said to Jin Yue: "Believe me, you can't stay on Black Cliff Island."
The difference between this moment and the previous life made Jin Yue realize that something was wrong.
In her previous life, even if Yan Ruoshu knew that there was black iron mine on Heiya Island, she only confirmed it after she went to investigate it personally during the time when she disappeared.
However, in this life, Yan Ruoshu revealed the news to King Jinyang before going to investigate for herself. It was obvious that she was very sure about the Xuan Iron Mine.
Could it be...
When she thought that Yan Ruoshu was probably reborn, she suddenly became alert.
He said tentatively: "Xuan'er is here."
Yan Ruoshu subconsciously looked up and saw a figure somewhere in the foggy rain curtain.
Being smart, she quickly realized that she had been tricked by Jin Yue. She immediately covered up her expression and said, "It's raining so hard."
The smile in the corner of Jin Yue's eyes deepened, and the charm of the raised eyes was filled with endless ridicule.
King Jinyang frowned and asked, "Who is Xuan'er? Where is he?"
Yan Ruoshu's face turned slightly pale, and she bit her lower lip, knowing in her heart that she had been exposed.
Jin Yue sat down, picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea.
King Jinyang's reaction was normal. Yan Ruoshu was obviously panicked, so she deliberately avoided it.
"No one, I saw it wrong."
King Jinyang frowned: "Did you hear what I told you?"
Jin Yue said: "I won't change."
King Jinyang has given Jin Yue such face, but Jin Yue just doesn't want this face, which is simply disgusting.
He stood up angrily: "Jin Yue, that Black Cliff Island will harm your whole family, are you serious about not changing it?"
"No change."
King Jinyang said angrily: "This king is doing this for your own good."
Jin Yue looked at Chu Heng like a clown. If he was really doing it for his own good, he would tell him the truth instead of just trying to take credit.
Chu Heng felt guilty for a moment when Jin Yue saw him. He angrily flicked his sleeves and said angrily: "I gave you a chance, but you didn't want it."
Jin Yue was silent, and King Chu took Yan Ruoshu away in a carriage.
In the carriage, Yan Ruoshu said: "Brother Heng, I have a way to make Jin Yue compromise."
"any solution?"
"Check the warehouse and accounts of Marquis Weiwu's Mansion. Jin Yue just said that there are two hundred thousand taels of gold in her dowry."
King Jinyang looked ugly: "You mean that gold belongs to me?"
Yan Ruoshu affirmed: "The total wealth of the Weiwu Marquis Mansion probably doesn't even amount to one hundred thousand taels of silver. How can a down-and-out Marquis Mansion get two hundred thousand taels of gold as a dowry?"
In her previous life, she clearly remembered that when Jin Yue married Chu Heng, she only had a few shabby fortunes, which could not even be compared with ordinary wealthy families.
In this life, 300,000 taels of gold had just been lost, and Jin Yue had a dowry of 200,000 taels of gold. This kind of coincidence could only be artificial.
"This is not easy to handle." King Jinyang said: "Weiwu Hou Mansion has not committed any crime, how can we conduct an investigation?"
"I can only ask the concubine for help." She whispered a few words into King Jinyang's ear.
King Jinyang frowned. Although he despised this method, there was no other way.
——
"Miss, the second girl has walked outside the yard four times."
Jin Yue put down the chess piece in his hand and asked, "Just passing by?"
"Probably, she didn't enter the yard."
Jin Yue narrowed her eyes and said, "Don't worry about her."
What Jin Wei chooses is her business. If she chooses to hide it, then she will naturally not be polite to her.
Finally, Jin Wei outside made up her mind and came over and said: "Sister."
She bit her lip, it was a bit awkward to call her eldest sister, she was not used to it.
Jin Yu also came in at this time. When he saw Jin Wei, he smiled and said, "Could it be that the second sister is also here to enjoy the autumn breeze?"
Jin Wei didn't dare to look into Jin Yu's eyes and quickly turned her head away without speaking.
Jin Yue smiled and said: "Your second sister just came to talk to me. She is not like you. She wants to take away many of my good things as soon as she comes."
"Eldest sister, you are the best." Jin Yu leaned over and said coquettishly: "I know you have the best Zui Liuxia here, can you give me a jar of it?"
Jin Yue helplessly pointed her green and green jade finger at the pretty boy's forehead and said: "The late emperor gave me three jars in total. Even the emperor can't drink from them. You can drink a jar with just one mouth. How can you have such a big face?"
Jin Yu laughed playfully: "You don't want a jar, a pot will do."
Jin Yue said: "Tell me, who do you want this Zui Liuxia to honor?"
She knew that although her brother was incompetent, he was not a reckless and extravagant person, so if he wanted to get drunk with Liuxia, he definitely didn't drink it himself.
"I heard that the Grand Master of the Imperial Academy, the Great Confucian of Lishan, loves wine as much as his life. I would like to give him this fine wine."
Speaking of Lishan Great Confucianism, Jin Yue suddenly remembered something. At the same time in his previous life, Lishan Great Confucian announced that he would accept a disciple, and he would only accept one disciple.
Jin Yue then looked at his younger brother and said with a smile, "You are finally reliable for once."
"Sister, I want to try."
"A pot seems too petty. If you want to give it away, just give it a pot. But the time for delivering the wine is up to me!"
"Ah? Why?"
Jin Yue stopped answering and looked at Jin Wei, who was standing aside and twitching.
"Weier, are you right to say something?"
Jin Wei didn't know whether she should say it. Although she had always disliked this cousin, she hated her mother's harmful methods even more.
If her mother hadn't wanted to harm Jin Yue, how could she be so stigmatized now that no one would dare to marry her.
"Can I talk to you alone?"
"The person involved is here, and it would be more appropriate for him to listen."
Jin Wei was surprised: "Sister, do you know everything?"
"It's not hard to guess."
Jin Wei's face instantly turned red. Her mother and grandmother were plotting in secret. She thought she was smart, but she didn't know that she had already seen everything.
She lowered her head and said, "Mom, I want to harm cousin Yu."
Jin Yu, who was smiling, was instantly shocked. He pointed at his nose and said, "Harm me?"
Jin Wei nodded: "Yes."
