"Ah! Ah!" Shi Nian came over and angrily pulled Lin Jin's legs, and even started breathing at the other tabby cat, as if asking it to jump off Lin Jin quickly.

Lin Jin let go of her hand in surrender, and the tabby cat immediately jumped away, squatting on the side and licking its front paws gracefully. She looked at Shi Nian and quickly picked her up to coax her: "Nian'er, is this your brother or sister? They look so much like you! Mommy can't tell them apart."

Why didn't anyone tell her that there was another tabby cat in the Prime Minister's Mansion?

Lin Jin looked at them carefully and finally figured out what was different about the two cats. Shi Nian's nose and four paws were all black, and the tabby cat looked similar, but one of its paw pads was pink.

Isn't this embarrassing?

"Ahhh!" Shi Nian made an angry sound, obviously very dissatisfied. He held Lin Jin's hand and bit it, with a ferocious look on his face.

"I was wrong, I was wrong, don't be angry." Lin Jin rubbed Shi Nian's head frantically, kissing and hugging her, "It's my fault, I'm shortsighted, I admit my mistake, don't be angry with me, I promise there won't be a next time."

She looked at the cat next to her that had nothing to do with her, and tears suddenly flowed down her face. Where did this cat come from? Why did it look so much like Shi Nian? Who brought it here?

Didn’t she tell Song Shiqiu that it was enough to just recite it sometimes in the Prime Minister’s Mansion?

Just as Lin Jin was wondering where the cat came from, a disgusted, surprised, and irritated voice came from the other side of the pavilion: "Lin Liu? Why are you still staying in the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

Lin Jin turned around subconsciously and saw Fang Yuzhu walking in with her skirt lifted up and an ancient version of a cat toy in her hand. It was obvious that the other cat was brought by her.

Lin Jin put Shi Nian aside, stood up and saluted: "Greetings, Princess."

"Get up." Fang Yuzhu gave her a disgusted look, then went to pick up the other tabby cat, as if she couldn't stand Lin Jin any more. "Can you please have some shame? How can you live in the prime minister's mansion? Don't you know that you can be married or concubine?"

Lin Jin smiled. She knew. Then what? But she was neither a wife nor a concubine. Besides, this was not important at all compared to her life. As long as Song Shiqiu didn't want her to die, she wouldn't die for the so-called reputation. She didn't belong here. As long as the power didn't oppress her, she wouldn't be bound by this place.

She has her own things to do, and those who are innocent will be innocent. If she gives up her life in shame like this, it would really not be worth it.

"I don't know how the Lin family could have such a shameless daughter like you. It turns out that there's nothing good about the children born from girls who come out of brothels." Fang Yuzhu sat in the pavilion and scolded Lin Jin, hoping that the other party would have some shame.

Lin Jin put away her usual professional fake smile, with no expression on her face: "How well-mannered can a princess who always humiliates others be? Brothel girls, could it be that all the brothel girls in the world went there on their own? Besides, if there was no Minister Lin, where would I be? It can't be that my mother dragged Minister Lin into that place of brothels, right?"

Although she had never seen the original owner's mother, she felt that if there was a choice, no one in the world would be willing to despise her. Since the original owner's mother could let Lin Zhi redeem her, she must be good-looking. Even if such a woman was really greedy and vain, it would not be difficult for her to become a concubine. Why would she go to that dregs place and let herself be despised by the world?

"Princess, you cannot ignore the situation of other women just because you are in a high position. Not all women live a life of luxury and are loved by their fathers and brothers like you. If you were not a princess and were born in a poor family, and if you were unlucky enough to meet a blood relative who was greedy for money, what could you do?" Lin Jin dared to say this to Fang Yuzhu so boldly. She was sure that the other party would not dare to attack her in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

She has not done this many times and this is the second time, but she is determined to get revenge this time.

No matter Fang Yuzhu's identity, she should not say such words. If a woman in a high position can be so blind to the situation of other women, more injustice will be inflicted on women of this era.

It is so cruel that men cannot see their blood and tears, and even their compatriots stand on the men's side and ignore the suffering behind their current situation.

"How dare you! How dare you speak to the princess like that? Watch your mouth!" Fang Yuzhu's maid glared at Lin Jin and shouted, "What crime should you be punished for insulting the princess?"

"In that case, how do you want to punish me, Princess?" Lin Jin smiled.

Fang Yuzhu looked sullen, looked away, and snorted coldly: "You are now protected by the Prime Minister, what can this princess do to you?"

"Since the princess is not going to punish me for my presumptuous behavior today, I will continue to speak." Lin Jin bowed to Fang Yuzhu again.

Fang Yuzhu stared at Lin Jin with wide eyes: "You still have something to say?! You are so, so bold! I will sue you in front of the Prime Minister!"

Does this Lin Liu know what he is talking about? If he says a few more words, doesn’t he know that Lin Liu will appear at the mass grave tomorrow?

"Yes, I want to ask the princess, you are a royal family, why are you so obsessed with getting married?" Lin Jin's eyes were filled with confusion. Song Shiqiu urged her to get married in the beginning because he felt that she was useless. The Lin Mansion was a den of dragons and tigers, and he was afraid that she would be eaten to the bone. But Fang Yuzhu was not like that, so why was Fang Yuzhu still obsessed with this.

Neither the heroine nor Song Shixia, and even Xi Lilong, really took the matter of marriage to heart.

It is obvious that the system of this era can make women awaken their independent consciousness earlier, and Fang Yuzhu should know the key point, so why is she still holding on to it?

"I don't mean to say that those ladies in charge of the inner house are bad. It is an admirable ability that they can manage the backyard of the house in an orderly manner. It's just that there is no shortage of such women in the world nowadays. This way of life is too monotonous. Why don't you try another kind of life?" Lin Jin asked Fang Yuzhu sincerely.

Fang Yuzhu pursed her lips slightly: "Are you saying that it is wrong for this princess to marry?"

"There is nothing wrong with getting married, and I don't mean that the princess should never get married in this life. I just think that besides being trapped in the inner house, you still have other ways to go, and that way has been laid out in front of you by His Majesty. Why don't you try it, princess?" Lin Jin knew that those who could enter the girls' academy must have good family backgrounds and good knowledge as well. Fang Yuzhu was able to enter the girls' academy because of her status as a princess and her own talent.

"You're talking nonsense, I don't understand. Since you're getting married, what difference does it make?" Fang Yuzhu shook her handkerchief angrily.

Lin Jin had no choice but to make her words clearer: "There are two kinds of marriages for women in this world, marrying up and marrying down. This also means two different statuses for women after marriage. If you marry up, even if you are of noble status, you will still be manipulated. If you marry down, then the husband's family will naturally look up to you and will allow you to do whatever you want."

"Why are you talking about getting married again?" Fang Yuzhu frowned, thinking that Lin Jin's words were ridiculous. "According to what you said, if you marry someone higher up, can't you treat each other with respect? Is it true that all the deeply in love couples in this world are married to someone lower down?"

"Princess, please don't be anxious. Listen to me first. It seems that the princess doesn't like those with lower status than her. That means she wants to marry someone higher. Well, even if the princess and the other party are really in love, what if the princess can't help? If the other party is on the rise and has a smooth career, then it will naturally not affect the relationship between the two of you. But what if the opposite is true? Poor couples have many sorrows. At that time, will the other party still be kind to you, princess?"

Fang Yuzhu thought about it and frowned even more tightly: "This is simply absurd and sophistry. Besides, there is no such thing in this world..."
