Danyun pinched the embroidered handkerchief hard, her nails turning slightly white. It was like punching into cotton, and it was hard to describe the feeling.

"Thank you, sister."

She slowly stood up, a smile on her face again, revealing two dimples, "Sister..."

"Who is your sister? Isn't it said that people like you are content with being lowly and servile to the mistress?"

Li Yanqi walked around to Lin Yanyu, tilted his head and smiled, "Is this what the mother in Jinling Lane taught you? I think Liu Datong's three thousand taels are wasted, not even worth three taels."

The man stayed today because he was afraid that his father-in-law and mother-in-law would be soft-hearted and didn't want to get involved, but it was difficult for him to refuse Lin Yong.

He was afraid of the consequences and had no intention of saying these things. He just asked these people to stay away and not get in the way.

But now he is very unhappy, and when he is unhappy, someone will suffer.

Dan Yun first blushed at his fierce expression, then his face turned pale and he took a few steps back unconsciously.

Lin Yong took the opportunity to support her and asked in confusion: "What is Jinling Lane, what is three thousand taels?"

"Nothing, Brother Yong, I... my stomach suddenly hurts. I won't bother my uncle and aunt today. Let's go back first."

Although Lin Yong had some doubts, when he heard her say that she had a stomachache, he instantly put those doubts behind him. He nervously supported Danyun and walked out the door.

"Does it hurt? Is there something wrong with the child? Don't worry, I'll take you to see a doctor right away."

They both walked to the door, but "Danyun's father" who had been standing next to them did not go with them. Instead, he bowed to Li Yanqi and the others.

"Lord Li, Madam Li, my daughter was rude, I apologize to you two on her behalf. My daughter and Lin Yong have already arranged a date, so please do me the honor of coming over for a drink."

Li Yanqi impatiently pointed at him with his finger.

"When I got married, I entered the Lin family as a son-in-law, so I am considered the son of the Lin family. Now I tell you clearly that there is no reason for us to bring a bride to the family and hold a banquet."

"You don't have to pretend to be confused. I know better than you whether she is your daughter or not. Do you think I am right, Manager Liu?"

Manager Liu's triangular eyes widened, and he felt sweat starting to form on his back. He laughed dryly, "Yes, yes... Lord Li, you have a keen eye. How dare we, little frozen mice, show off our cleverness in front of you?"

With a flattering smile on his face, he held a wooden box in his hand in front of Li Yanqi.

"Our master asked me to bring a message to you, sir. The Liu family is sincere in cooperating with you. The Liu family is willing to pay 50% of the military pay for Chongzhou. I am sorry for being rude today. I hope you will forgive me."

"Ha." Li Yanqi sneered. "Fifty percent... not bad, your Liu family has invested a lot of money."

"I would never dare to fool you, sir." Steward Liu had cold sweat running down his spine. He held up the box in his hand and said, "Please accept my apology, sir."

The man looked downward for a moment, then raised the corners of his mouth and looked at the top of Manager Liu's head.

"But, don't you Liu family know?"

Li Yanqi paused, then smiled even brighter, his sharp eyebrows curved into an arc.

Manager Liu was just about to let go of his worries when he heard the man say, "As long as I am here, your Liu family's business, let alone the state capital to Maozhou, even in Yunlong Town, you can forget about continuing."

After Li Yanqi finished speaking, he added with a smile: "I said so."

"Master Li! This, this... this is not allowed."

Manager Liu was so frightened that his legs went limp and cold sweat streamed down his face. He still had to explain a few more sentences.

"Get lost!" Li Yanqi pointed to the door without hesitation, "If I see anyone from your Liu family again, I'll throw you into a mass grave to feed the wild dogs."

Watching Manager Liu crawling away, the man's eyes were full of coldness. If it weren't for Lin Yong's incident, with the Liu family paying so much, he might have really agreed. After all, who would resist money?

But since he is blind, how dare he stretch his hand so long? What is the point of singing to him?

A faint sigh came from beside Li Yanqi, and he reached out and scratched Lin Yanyu's cheek.

"Okay, stop sighing. I've chased away all the annoying flies, and I don't think they'll dare to come back again. I'm going to the camp office now to look at the armor and weapons sent by the blacksmith shop. You should spend some time talking to your parents later. Tonight..."

At this point, he paused, looked into those grape eyes, and said, "I'll tell them about Lin Yanxia."

"Don't panic, trust me."
