Zhou Yuexue watched Yan Yuxuan's servants carefully move the imperial gifts into Lin Jinyan's private treasury, suppressed the jealousy in her heart, and said with a smile:
"I must recognize my money bag. My sister will send someone to get it back and we will know after a look."
Bai Zhi said crisply: "The Second Highness said that the young lady is weak and will send someone to the house to prevent the young lady from running back and forth."
Zhou Yuexue: "Your Highness knows both cold and hot. He is truly a good candidate for a husband."
Lin Wanrong listened silently and glanced at Zhou Yuexue without interrupting.
Zhou Yuexue praised Chu Chengyao some more and said some words of envy for the future second prince before returning to the courtyard with Lin Wanrong.
Seeing Bai Zhi putting away the tea cups, Lin Jinyan smiled and said:
"Just put away my cousin's cup. Put away my cousin's cup first."
Although Bai Zhi didn't know what was going on, she was obedient and didn't ask any more questions.
After a while, Yutong came to report: Lin Wanrong is here again.
Bai Zhi: "Miss, you are really amazing."
Lin Wanrong came in and said she wanted to whisper a few words to Lin Jinyan. Lin Jinyan clearly dismissed the people in the room and pulled Lin Wanrong to sit down.
"Yan'er...there is something I don't know whether to say or not."
Lin Jinyan smiled and said: "What can't you and I say? Sister, just say it."
Lin Wanrong carefully considered her words and said:
"Your Highness...maybe as good as my cousin said, but he is a member of the royal family after all. If you are not destined to be, you are too involved with him. As a prince, he can escape unscathed. What about your reputation? Is good?"
A smile flashed in Lin Jinyan's eyes, but there was a sad look on her face:
"But His Highness is indeed very kind to me, and he is gentle and polite. Wouldn't it be a pity to miss him?"
Lin Wanrong anxiously held Lin Jinyan's hand:
"Yan'er, you have the General's Mansion behind you, and even the Crown Prince wants to take advantage of you. How do you know whether His Highness is pure towards you?"
Lin Jinyan: "How will you know if you don't try?"
Lin Wanrong stood up anxiously: "Yan'er! How can you try this kind of thing easily? If your reputation is ruined, how will you gain a foothold in Tai'an City? How can you, a weak woman, face the accusations of thousands of people?"
Lin Wanrong persuaded anxiously, but when she saw Lin Jinyan's smiling eyebrows and crooked eyes, she realized that she was teasing him, and she let go of her hand angrily:
"You! I'm so anxious and you're still joking and ignoring you!"
Lin Jinyan grabbed Lin Wanrong's hand: "Good sister, don't be angry if I'm wrong. I know the stakes and will definitely not listen to my cousin's arrangement, nor will I get involved with the royal family. Don't worry, sister."
Lin Wanrong was relieved when she heard this: "It's good if you know."
Lin Jinyan pulled Lin Wanrong to sit down: "Sister, you can understand these risks, and I feel relieved. People in the royal family are not easy to get along with. In order to win over my grandpa and uncle, they may take advantage of you, so you should be more careful. You must tell me when something happens."
After hearing this, Lin Wanrong nodded solemnly with a serious expression.
The Third Prince's Mansion.
After Sun Jian finished talking to Chu Chengye, when he passed by Jia Yu's yard, he saw Jia Yu standing in the yard glumly, looking up at the sky in a daze.
The weather is getting colder, and the yard that was just swept in the morning has another layer of mottled leaves falling, giving it a bit of depression and sadness.
Sun Jian stopped and looked up at the sky, but found nothing wrong. Just as he was about to leave, he was spotted by Jia Yu and stopped.
Inviting Sun Jian into the house, the boy waiting in the courtyard hurriedly poured hot tea.
