I am cannon fodder, but I can hug thighs

"Get up, get up." Lin Jin quickly put Shi Nian down, she helped her up, and wiped the stains on her forehead with a handkerchief. It only took a few wipes to wipe her forehead red. "You really don't know how to take care of yourself a little."

She wanted to come here and discuss this matter with Song Shiqiu after he came back. They had no control over what happened in other families, but they could still make decisions for the maids and servants in their own house. There was no need to waste the time of these young girls and boys like this.

Lian Yi's eyes were red as she smiled and said, "I am so happy. Lian Yi has never thought that one day I would be able to leave here."

"You should always have hope. Don't be so pessimistic." Lin Jin picked up the dissatisfied Shi Nian again. "You still have a few years. You can plan for yourself. What kind of business you want to make and what kind of life you want to live in the future is up to you."

Lian Yi nodded with tears in her eyes: "Yes, yes."

Lin Jin carried Shi Nian for a while, but Shi Nian was too heavy, and it was as tiring as carrying a baby a few months old. So they had to find a pavilion to sit down and rest, as tomorrow was New Year's Eve.

"How did you celebrate New Year's Eve in previous years?" Lin Jin couldn't help but ask Lian Yi how she had celebrated the New Year in recent years. "Does your Excellency always celebrate it in the palace?"

Lian Yi thought about it and told the truth: "After the death of the previous emperor, the Lord rarely went to the palace to celebrate the New Year, and the mansion was also quiet. He just gave us some gifts, and then the Lord and Lord Liu had a meal and drank wine to celebrate the New Year."

In the past, the master would visit the palace during the Chinese New Year, and on New Year’s Eve, he would ask them to decorate the house to make it festive, and stay up all night with the second young lady. In recent years, the master has mostly been drinking with Master Liu, so the place has been deserted in the past few years.

"We were planning to have a lively New Year this year, but the master is not here." Lin Jin sighed helplessly, "I can only say that he is really unlucky."

Lin Jin admired the scenery for a while and felt that it was about time, so she carried Shi Nian back to see how the two were chatting. Yu Zhuoran was walking out with Heng Mu. Heng Mu saw her walking quickly towards her and knelt in front of her.

"Heng Mu, get up. Why are you kneeling down?" Lin Jin held his forehead with his hand. "You know I don't like others kneeling to me all the time."

"Madam, please take care of Zhuoran for me in the next two years. I will definitely pass the imperial examination and come back in two years." Heng Mu knew it, but he still kowtowed to Lin Jin, "I can't let her down. I must marry her in a grand manner. She can't follow me now."

"You wishful thinking, I'm leaving with you now, but you don't even consider whether I'm willing to let you go." Lin Jin said angrily, "Hurry up and get up."

After hearing Lin Jin's words, Heng Mu stood up, brushed off the snow on his clothes, and smiled: "Thank you, Madam. I knew you were easy to talk to."

Lin Jin: “…”

Forget it. Even if Heng Mu didn't say anything, based on the kindness shown by Yu Zhuoran's father back then, it was impossible for her and Song Shiqiu to ignore Yu Zhuoran.

"You've finally come back, so why not celebrate the festival together? It won't be lively if you celebrate it alone outside." Lin Jin told him to remember to come for the New Year's Eve dinner tomorrow. She looked at the two of them exchanging glances and decided not to continue being a light bulb. She hugged Shi Nian and went back to the yard.

She said she would make canned food for Shi Nian, so she must keep her promise. Otherwise, Shi Nian would really make a fuss. Not only would he parkour all over the house, he would also pick expensive vases and smash them. His eyesight was better than Lin Jin's, and he knew what was expensive. He was like a spirit.

Lin Jin had just steamed a can of food for Shi Nian when Fang Yuzhu carried Nannan into the yard. Shi Nian bared his teeth at Nannan, then ate the can with a grunt, as if he was afraid that Nannan would snatch the food from him.

"Why are you protecting your food? Do you usually leave it hungry?" Fang Yuzhu put Nannan down and watched Shi Nian slap her in the face as Nannan approached. She was angry and amused, "You just have a little meat?"

Lin Jin touched her nose and felt a little embarrassed: "Nian'er loves to eat this, I'll get one for Nannan too."

In fact, the canned food she steamed was quite large in quantity, and one cat might not be able to finish it all. But Shi Nian was a protective person, and would not give it to other cats if she couldn't finish it.

Lin Jin looked at the pitiful Nannan and quickly made another can. Fang Yuzhu looked at the strange things Lin Jin added and raised her eyebrows: "What else did you add to the meat? No wonder Nannan also wanted to eat it."

"Just some nutrients." After Lin Jin adjusted the ratio, she put it in the pot to steam. Shi Nian had eaten her fill when the canned food was ready. She used a spoon to stir it twice to dissipate the heat. When the temperature was about right, she placed it in front of Nannan, "Come here, Nannan."

Nannan called out proudly before lowering her head to eat the canned food. She looked much more elegant than Shi Nian.

"The object resembles its owner." Fang Yuzhu sneered.

Lin Jin looked at Shi Nian licking his paws dimly, showing a fake smile: "Yes, follow Song Shiqiu."

Fang Yuzhu laughed grimly: "Let him do it? Not you?"

"How could it be that it's like me? Wasn't this cat originally given to Song Shiqiu? How could it be that it's like me?" Lin Jin would never admit this even if she was beaten to death. She also wanted to save face. Anyway, it was impossible that he learned it from her.

"Why are you here today? Didn't you say you would come over for the New Year's Eve dinner tomorrow?" Lin Jin quickly put this little episode behind her.

Fang Yuzhu sighed and pouted, "What can I do? I quarreled with them again. It's really unreasonable. I just got pregnant and Yan Sihui has just gone to the border and hasn't come back yet, but they are thinking of finding a maid to serve me. They are afraid that my baby is not a son and Yan Sihui will have many children."

She gritted her teeth and sneered, "Do you really think I'm a fool? I don't care whether Yan Sihui takes a concubine or not, but you want to control me? Dream on!"

Lin Jin: "...What if they really..." She looked at Fang Yuzhu with worry in her eyes.

"Humph, who can say for sure whether someone will live or die on the battlefield?" Fang Yuzhu stroked her belly. The fetus was less than a month old, but her waistline was only one finger wider than before. "If he really dares to do this to me, I won't show him mercy. I will send Yan Sihui and this evil offspring to hell together."

"Lin Liu, I have finally understood in the past few years that what you said was absolutely right. No matter how good your husband is, it is not as important as being good yourself." She grabbed Lin Jin's hand and smiled slightly, her eyes full of ambition. "When men hold great power, they can trample women under their feet, so we women can naturally trample them to death."

The men in this world use their absolute power to blindfold women and tie up their hands and feet. It is simply because these people know what women are capable of, so they are afraid of them. Otherwise, why would they restrict them at every turn and block their way out?

Lin Jin vaguely understood her plan and was surprised. He didn't expect Fang Yuzhu to be so heartless. He just hoped that Yan Sihui would not do anything wrong, otherwise, even if he didn't die, his end would definitely not be good.

"It's better not to be so impulsive. It's fine if everything is perfect, but if there is any flaw, you will be implicated." Lin Jin still felt that it was not appropriate. Even if there were many people on the battlefield, if someone wanted to investigate, they would definitely be able to find clues.

"I thought you would advise me out of kindness again." Fang Yuzhu raised her eyebrows.

Lin Jin wanted to persuade him, after all, Yan Sihui's crime was not punishable by death, but Fang Yuzhu had to be persuaded: "It's useless to persuade him, it's a waste of words."

"Lin Liu, come with me. If one day these stinky men really let us down, we will kill both Yan Sihui and Song Shiqiu." Fang Yuzhu said seriously, "Married women should obey their husbands, and husbands are the leaders of their wives. These are all false. Only you are real. If something happens in the future, I will protect you no matter what. If I can't protect you, I will die with you."
