"..."
Butler Liu is an honest man.
An honest man through and through!
The eldest lady made great use of her servant Ding Linda, who originally took away the power of steward Liu.
If it were someone else's housekeeper, he would have been in a mood, or would have put on Lin Wanjie's shoes.
But Butler Liu didn't complain at all. He was honest and did his own thing.
There is no extra thought.
After hearing what the eldest lady and Lin Da said, the honest housekeeper Liu really couldn't understand, and he couldn't even turn around even if he tried.
Then he said seriously: "Madam, you remembered wrongly. The Li family's final payment is 5,000 taels, not 50,000 taels. The difference is ten times!"
The eldest lady slowly closed her eyes and seemed not to hear.
Butler Liu looked at Lin Da again, and Lin Da tore off the account book in his hand one by one.
"Oh, what do you want to do?"
Butler Liu was about to grab it, but Lin Wanjie turned around and threw the account book into the brazier.
Butler Liu's face turned dark and he rushed towards the brazier like crazy, but it was still too late.
The ledger was burned to the ground, and Butler Liu was unspeakably angry. He pointed at Lin and shouted, "Dad Lin, are you itching to get slapped?"
After saying that, he turned to Madam, raised his hands and shouted: "Madam, Mr. Lin..."
"What's wrong with Lin Da? I didn't see anything."
"..." Butler Liu was speechless again.
However, Lin Wanjie came over and put his hand on Butler Liu's shoulder, and said seriously: "Steward Liu, you remembered it wrong. The final payment given by the Li family today is exactly five thousand taels. How can there be fifty thousand taels, and how can there be any betrothal gift?"
"But aren't these things right in front of you?"
Butler Liu pointed to the box in the house, which contained betrothal gifts from the Li family.
But the attitude of Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Lin made Butler Liu wonder if it was a dream?
I quickly opened the box to confirm that everything was there.
"Hey, Butler Liu, you are really confused. You still don't understand now?" Lin Wanjie saw the butler Tai Yumu and had no choice but to say directly, "I want to marry the eldest lady with this little thing, so go ahead and dream! The eldest lady is willing to sell it." Daughter?"
That's true!
The eldest lady loves her daughter as much as she lives.
Butler Liu knew it.
It's strange that the Li family is recruiting people today. Although the Li family is generous, the eldest lady shouldn't marry off her daughter so easily.
Butler Liu didn't react until he heard Lin Wanjie's words.
"Could it be that... the eldest lady is a gangster?"
Lin Wanqiao slapped Butler Liu and almost slapped Butler Liu to the ground.
"What are you talking about? Madam, how can you ask the black to eat the black? This is called the iron fist of justice! The Li family is holding our balance and refuses to give us the money, so we will eat his betrothal gift and refuse to acknowledge it. This is called fighting against the other. The Tao returns to the other body.”
Butler Liu was confused.
Regardless of your iron fist of justice, you will still retaliate.
Isn't this just taking advantage of others?
But this is too outrageous and bizarre!
Can gold and silver jewelry worth fifty thousand taels be taken advantage of?
What a serious crime it would be if the reporting officer was caught?
"Madam, I... I'm just a little housekeeper, not a life-threatening gangster. This matter... I don't want to know about this." Butler Liu realized the seriousness of the matter and knelt on the ground to beg for mercy. .
"But I already know that there is no amnesia drug in the world!" Lin Wanjie squatted beside Butler Liu and continued, "Look, how much the eldest lady trusts you and entrusts you with such an important matter. You must not let it down. Madam’s trust.”
"Madam, this old slave is an honest person! You, you can't bully an honest person like this!"
The matter was so big that Butler Liu was so anxious that he almost cried.
Suddenly, Lin Wanjie took out a pair of golden horses and placed them in front of Butler Liu.
Butler Liu stretched out his hand, rolled up the two golden horses into his sleeves, wiped his nose, stood up and cupped his hands to the eldest lady: "I have worked in the Xiao family all my life. For the survival of the Xiao family, I am willing to work for Xiao." The whole family is in disarray."
Lin Wanjie had to admire that the old guy was really honest.
The eldest lady finally opened her eyes and asked slowly: "Dad Lin, these things cannot be seen by others. They must find a place to store them and they must be safe enough."
"Sink under the Moon Lake." Lin Wanjie said solemnly.
Just do it.
There are twenty boxes of gold and silver jewelry worth fifty thousand taels.
There are so many things that I want to hide without anyone noticing, and the entire Xiao family can only hide them under the Moon Lake.
The only person who can safely sink twenty heavy boxes to the bottom of the lake is Lin Wanjie.
Although it was the end of winter and the beginning of spring, the water in Moon Lake was still bitingly cold.
In order to keep it secret, they didn’t dare to ask extra people to help.
Even the eldest lady personally helped and cooperated with Butler Liu to push all the boxes into Yunshui Residence on a cart.
Lin Wanjie then sank the boxes one by one into the water and tied them together.
From dusk to late at night, Lin did not rest during the late night.
The biting lake water made Lin Wanjie lose consciousness all over.
Fortunately, I somehow knew a little bit about the breathing method, so I wouldn't be unable to persevere.
The eldest lady looked at the hard body soaking in the moon lake in the dark night, shirtless and wearing underwear, going up and down in the water. She felt a little anxious and a little fanciful.
Under the moonlight, the dark skin was trembling slightly, and the muscles on his body were covered with broken ice. He felt cold even looking at it, but he seemed to be able to feel the man's heartbeat.
The eldest lady covered her face with sweat on the tip of her nose.
She found that as long as she stared at Lin Da's body, she could not feel at peace.
Too many memories came to my mind. If I hadn't been avoided by Lin Da once in the morning, I would probably have been unable to hold back the loneliness in my heart tonight and would have sacrificed my face to seduce him.
"Madam."
Lin Wanjie's voice appeared in her ears, and the eldest lady suddenly woke up.
"It's all done!"
Lin Wanjie shook the ice water off his body, but his voice was still as steady and powerful as ever.
The eldest lady reached out and touched Lin Wanjie's chest and asked, "Are you cold?"
"cold!"
"Go and warm yourself by the fire in the lady's house."
"..."
Go to the lady's house?
this late.
What does the eldest lady want to do?
Lin Wanjie didn't want to go, but the eldest lady said, "Sooner or later, I will know about this."
Lin Wanjie then followed the eldest lady back to the inner courtyard and entered the master's room.
Mr. Xiao has not slept with the eldest lady in more than ten years. They sleep in the same room and live in peace with each other.
It's already New Year's Eve. Lanterns are lit inside and outside the Xiao family, Spring Festival couplets are posted on the door, and happiness can be seen everywhere.
But the lights were on in the house, and the dim light made the night look a little gloomy.
Mr. Xiao hasn't slept yet, and the brazier inside is burning brightly, as if he is waiting for Lin Wanjie to arrive.
I opened the door and stood by the fire. My clothes were dry, but my body was wet.
Mr. Xiao took a sip of water and lit the brazier.
"Sit down and warm yourself by the fire, don't catch a cold."
"Thank you, sir."
"Lin Da, after what you did tonight, you are one of our own." Mr. Xiao said suddenly.
Lin Wanjie thought about the gold and silver jewelry under the moon lake, and said, "Master, this is all what I should do."
"That's right, it's all your responsibility. Stay in this house tonight, and you and the eldest lady will have to continue the legacy of the Xiao family."
