The warehouse of the Hou Mansion is managed by Butler Qin.
All expenditures in the mansion, large or small, need to be approved by Butler Qin.
The maids can receive two sets of seasonal clothes each year. If they receive more, they will have to pay an additional fifty copper coins.
The clothes Lin Shuang'er was wearing were very old. They were given to her by Butler Qin when her brother entered the mansion. Lin Shuang'er went to get them once in the next two years. Butler Qin took advantage of Lin Shuang'er being helpless in the mansion to enrich himself. She had to pay an extra fifty copper coins before she could be given clothes.
Not only that, Butler Qin always pinches her waist when no one touches her hands, and likes to call her Shuangshuang affectionately.
In front of outsiders, Butler Qin is amiable, but in private he is a beast in disguise.
Lin Shuang'er hated Butler Qin very much. Every time she saw him, she would stay away from him, and she was reluctant to part with her own money. She never went to collect clothes again.
Lin Shuang'er was in trouble when she remembered that she would leave the house with Ye Beicheng tomorrow.
She couldn't dress too shabbily, otherwise she would lose the face of the Hou family.
Finally, Lin Shuang'er dug out the wooden box from under the bed board, took out fifty copper coins, and decided to go to the warehouse.
Butler Qin's eyes lit up as soon as he saw Lin Shuang'er.
From the first time he met Lin Shuang'er, Butler Qin felt that this person was handsome. Although he was a man, his beautiful appearance was no less beautiful than that of a woman.
Butler Qin was in his thirties and had never married a wife. As time went by, he couldn't control his lust. When he saw Lin Shuang'er, he couldn't help but want to tease her.
"Steward Qin, I'm here to get two sets of clothes." Lin Shuang'er spread the coins in front of Steward Qin and stood far back.
"Fifty copper coins, you count them."
Butler Qin stared at her with sharp eyes.
He found that Lin Shuang'er looked prettier after not seeing her for a long time. His eyes slipped to her flat chest, and Butler Qin felt regretful in his heart.
It's just a pity that he has a male body.
Butler Qin counted the copper coins on the table and looked at Lin Shuang'er meaningfully.
Lin Shuang'er was so stared at that her hair stood on end. She just wanted to get her clothes and leave.
Butler Qin pushed the copper coins in front of him forward.
"Shuangshuang, this money is not enough."
Lin Shuang'er didn't expect that Butler Qin would sit down and raise the price, and immediately said anxiously: "Why is it not enough? I haven't received any clothes this year, so you just charge me an extra fifty cents. Why has the price increased now?"
Director Qin smiled and said: "Shuangshuang, to tell you the truth, the price of fabrics has increased, and there are more maids and slaves in the Hou Mansion. As the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion, I have to reduce expenses for the Hou Mansion."
"You..." Lin Shuang'er was extremely angry, but there was nothing she could do.
Manager Qin was promoted by Master Hou's mother. Speaking of which, he was also the mother's brother-in-law, so Lin Shuang'er couldn't afford to offend him.
She also reported it to Aunt Zhao at the beginning, but Aunt Zhao only advised her to settle the matter and not offend him.
Lin Shuang'er was already helpless. Whenever she was wronged, she could only swallow it in her stomach.
Seeing Lin Shuang'er helpless, Butler Qin felt proud.
A little boy is not at his mercy.
Seeing that there was no one in the courtyard, Manager Qin lowered his voice and said, "Why don't you follow me to the warehouse and let's make a deal?"
Lin Shuang'er said warily: "What deal?"
Butler Qin smiled with a vulgar look on his face: "Have you ever heard that there were many kings in the past dynasties who were as good as Long Yang?"
Lin Shuang'er was so frightened that she took a few steps back, and her face suddenly turned pale.
"No... no, I still have something to do and want to go back first." Lin Shuang'er had a premonition that something was not going to happen, so she turned around and ran away.
Butler Qin swallowed, then immediately stepped forward and grabbed Lin Shuang'er's arm, dragging her into the warehouse.
"Shuangshuang, I have liked you for a long time, and I also want to taste that feeling. Why don't we give it a try?"
Lin Shuang'er struggled desperately, but was no match for Butler Qin's strength.
She was so anxious that tears came out. She struggled and shouted: "Steward Qin, don't be like this. It was the prince who asked me to come here to collect the clothes. If you dare to be rude to me, the prince will not let you go!"
Butler Qin smiled even more proudly: "You are just a yard sweeper, how could the prince care about you? If you listen to me honestly, the butler will give you the best clothes every season from now on."
"No, I don't want the clothes anymore, let me go!" Seeing that he was about to pull her into the warehouse, Lin Shuang'er was so anxious that she bit Butler Qin's arm.
Butler Qin was in pain and immediately let go of her.
Lin Shuang'er turned around and ran out as if she had been granted amnesty.
Butler Qin was cursing behind him, threatening to make her pay a heavy price if he caught her.
Lin Shuang'er was so frightened that when she turned around, she suddenly hit a wall of flesh.
The familiar cold sandalwood scent hit her face. When Lin Shuang'er raised her eyes, she saw a pair of cold eyes staring at her intently.
Somehow, Lin Shuang'er felt a little aggrieved, and couldn't hold it back for a moment, tears welling up instantly.
"Your Majesty..."
Ye Beicheng lowered his eyes and looked at the person who had rashly walked into his arms. He was pouting and wanting to cry, and a strange emotion filled his heart.
