Mrs. Lin was a little annoyed.

She patted Lin Huaian on the shoulder and said, "Husband, why are you in a daze? Tell me quickly, what does the Prince of Yan's Mansion need to do to release Wei Ran?"

Lin Huaian was startled.

Finally, he sighed softly: "Yanwang Mansion... we want the shops in Chunliu Lane on Changsheng Street."

"What?" Mrs. Lin's eyes widened in surprise. "They want a few shops in Chunliu Lane. Why don't they just go and rob them? Even if Wei Ran and his classmates are greedy, how much more can they eat?"

Mrs. Lin was shocked.

She had never heard of anyone who would sell off several shops in his home just to invite classmates to dinner.

Wei Ran is not a fool.

Can you do such a ridiculous thing?

next moment.

Lin Huaian's words made him freeze.

Lin Huaian nodded and said helplessly: "It can't be said to be robbery. After all, the food and drinks that Wei Ran and his classmates spent were indeed... a large amount. Even if it was those few shops... it wouldn't be enough to cover it."

Lin Huaian hesitated, not quite knowing what to say.

There are eight streets and alleys in Changsheng Street.

At the beginning, he had some shops and houses in almost every street and alley in Changsheng Street.

In recent years, the Lin family has not been good at business management and has suffered heavy losses.

He had no choice but to sell those shops and houses that had suffered greater losses, were in worse locations, and were not so valuable. Now, only Chunliu Lane and Taodong Lane were still worth some.

Chunliu Lane is the best located lane among the many lanes in Changsheng Street.

However, the good location did not bring it much vitality. On the contrary, the entire Chunliu Lane has always been dark and gloomy over the years.

After several accidents, the alley became almost quiet.

After learning that this street had suffered heavy damage, Lin Huaian gave up the idea of ​​making a living here.

The shop would be empty here for most of the year, and could be rented out occasionally.

However, most of them don't last long.

Although these street shops are a bit troublesome, they are at least Lin Huaian’s fixed industries and can occasionally create some value.

Therefore, Lin Huaian, who was not short of money, never thought of selling them for silver.

He even had some secret expectations in his heart.

He hoped that Lin Weiran could learn some business skills besides studying.

Someday, this street may be saved.

If it were any other time, for Lin Weiran, he might have sold the shop to someone without saying a word.

But now, he had just lost Rong'an Tower and Guyue Pavilion.

If he was asked to sell his shop in Chunliu Lane again, no matter how he thought about it, he felt that it would be like cutting into his flesh.

Moreover, ever since Shen Guidi hinted to him intentionally or unintentionally that she remembered the past, he felt heavy in his heart. He always had an inexplicable panic and a strong sense of uneasiness that lingered around him.

Even though he firmly believed that Shen Guidi would compromise with the Lin family for the position of Princess Yan, he couldn't help but have wild thoughts in his mind.

Mrs. Lin was completely dumbfounded when she heard what Lin Huaian said.

"…How, how is it possible?"

Houses and shops in the capital are already expensive, and those in the southern city are the most expensive.

Even though Chunliu Lane has a bad reputation nowadays, if those shops were sold, it would not be difficult to sell one shop for two or three thousand taels. There are five shops there, so the total profit would be more than ten thousand taels.

Didn’t Wei Ran just take a few classmates to Rong’an Building for a meal and drinks?

Could he possibly eat up tens of thousands of taels?

Mrs. Lin gritted her teeth and thought bitterly.

She completely forgot that the prices of the dishes, snacks and drinks at Rong'an Tower were jointly determined by her and Lin Huaian.

Not only is the cost extremely high, but there is also considerable loss when making dishes and snacks.

The most important thing is that those dishes are not easy to buy.

In the past, the only ones who could eat those dishes were the mysterious guests on the third floor and a few "allies" who needed Lin Huaian to carefully pamper and coax, such as Qi Heng.

Lin Huaian looked at Mrs. Lin gritting her teeth and looking ferocious.

He couldn't help but look away, and said firmly, "What Wei Ran and the others ate and drank in Rong'an Tower were all specially prepared by you and me for the guests on the third floor. The quantity was not small. In total, the amount given by the King of Yan was close to thirty thousand taels."

Mrs. Lin raised her eyes suddenly and said, "Impossible. The most expensive items in the building are reserved for the guests on the third floor. Apart from the guests on the third floor, only a very small number of people can place orders. How could Wei Ran use these to entertain his classmates?

Even if he didn't think of it for the moment, what about Shopkeeper Song?

He knew very well who could eat and drink those things, but didn't he remind Wei Ran?

Didn't it stop people in the kitchen from being stupid?"

It shouldn’t be!

Even if Wei Ran was temporarily out of his mind, what about Song Lin?

Didn't he stop it?

Lin Huaian glanced at her and sighed, "Madam, I'm afraid Song Lin didn't stop him."

After all, Rong'an Building has changed hands.

Someone was eager to give money to Rong'an Tower, and the new owner was the Prince of Yan's Mansion, so how could he dare to refuse?

I'm afraid that in order to prevent the Prince of Yan's Mansion from targeting him, he might even help the tyrant to commit atrocities.

Taking advantage of Wei Ran's incident, he surrendered to his new boss.

I have to say that Lin Huaian’s guess is right and wrong.

Indeed, Song Lin followed Shen Guidi's instructions and intentionally led Lin Weiran and a group of classmates to focus on those dishes and meals, but later he would eat and drink with those classmates to his heart's content. Song Lin's instigation and surrender were also the key.

Mrs. Lin immediately gritted her teeth in anger.

But she also knew that the most important thing right now was not to settle accounts with Song Lin, but to settle these matters and rescue her beloved son Lin Weiran.

And... look for Lin Qingran.

Right now, faced with so many major events, she was actually a little at a loss for a moment.

"Husband, then you...or else, just listen to Prince Yan's Mansion and give those shops to them. They are useless shops anyway and can't make much money. It's better to give them. At least...at least bring Wei Ran back first."

Mrs. Lin's voice was choked with sobs, and the more she spoke, the sadder she became.

When Lin Huaian heard her say that she would give the shop to someone, his face suddenly darkened.

"Are you crazy? That's a shop. It will make money sooner or later. Just give it to me. How could I not know that you can be so generous?" Lin Huaian accused angrily.

The way he looked at her became much colder.

What a spendthrift woman! She just gave the shop away without hesitation.

Don't you think about it? The Prince of Yan's Mansion has just taken Rong'an Tower and Guyue Pavilion, and now it has extended its hands to Chunliu Lane. Will she also take over the house where the Lin family lives now in the future?

The more Lin Huaian thought about it, the more possible it seemed.

In this case, he could not give the shop to Prince Yan's Mansion.
