Tragic death and rebirth, the daughter of a general poisoned the government and the country

The second wife spent a day counting the deeds to the farm and the remaining property in Ye Yuanshuang's dowry, and sent the list of missing items at a discounted price to the old lady and Lin Minglang.

Since Lin Yushu returned home, in just a year and a half, the old lady seemed to have aged ten years.

After fainting again the day before yesterday, she couldn't get out of bed for the past two days. When the second lady came, Lin Minglang was chatting with the old lady to relieve her boredom.

"Mother, Master, I have sorted out Ye Yuanshuang's dowry, but there are a lot of things missing... This is the list after the discount..."

The second wife's voice gradually became lower. She lowered her head, not daring to look at the two people in front of her. With a slightly trembling hand, she handed the list to them.

When the old lady saw this, she had a bad feeling in her heart.

"What? One hundred and thirty-eight thousand taels?!"

Following Lin Minglang's roar, the old lady's heart sank completely. She closed her eyes in despair and didn't want to say a word.

I’m so tired!

"Why are there so many?"

Lin Minglang stared at the Second Madam in disbelief. His eyes were as sharp as a knife, and he wished he could cut two pieces of flesh off the Second Madam's body.

The second wife was dissatisfied. Most of the money had been spent on Lin Minglang and Lin Jiang, but now he was blaming her.

But the Second Lady rarely saw Lin Minglang so furious, so she could only tremble and whisper.

"The expenses in the mansion are not much. Every year, we spend two to three thousand taels on new clothes and jewelry... The rest is basically the personal connections between you and Jiang'er in the court. The annual contacts between the various mansions cost thousands of taels each time. And the last time we hired assassins from the Changsheng Shop and the tavern, we spent more than 30,000 taels that time alone..."

How can we spend money like this without touching Ye Yuanshuang's dowry? !

Lin Minglang closed his eyes tightly and sighed. Although he knew that this was despicable and shameless, he couldn't help but ask the Second Madam.

"When you were calculating, couldn't you have counted less?!"

The second wife shrank her neck, looked very ugly, and spoke in a whisper.

"This is already an underestimation. Otherwise, it would cost another 10,000 taels..."

Lin Minglang: ...

Lin Minglang pinched his brows helplessly, regretting that he had agreed to Lin Yushu too quickly. Where would he get 138,000 taels? !

His monthly salary is only three hundred taels!

The room fell into an eerie silence, with only the old lady's wheezing breathing remaining.

"Well... I have an idea."

The second wife said cautiously, "The housekeeper sent to the Changsheng Shop last time mentioned to me that the Changsheng Shop would also lend money at high interest to officials and noble families..."

"How can you easily touch a loan shark? Guess why Changsheng Shop only lends money to officials and noble families, and not to ordinary people?"

The second wife looked puzzled when she heard this, her eyes filled with clear stupidity.

Lin Minglang sighed and explained irritably.

"Because the court does not allow officials to touch usury! Ordinary people are not afraid, but if an official is found to have touched usury, he will be dismissed!"

That’s why Changshengpu only does their business, because these officials are more afraid of the news leaking out than anyone else.

The interest rate of loan sharking is extremely high. One hundred taels of loan sharking can double to two hundred taels in a few months.

If they could not pay back the money, Changshengpu only needed to spread some news to scare the officials who borrowed the money. Changshengpu did not worry about not getting the money back at all. For Changshengpu, this was a very profitable business.

"But, but Changsheng Shop has been doing business in the capital for so many years, and we have never seen any of them get into trouble because of loan sharking."

Lin Minglang thought about it for a moment and realized that the situation was indeed as the Second Madam had said.

The important thing to do now is to let Lin Mingyue and his family of three move out of their house.

Counting the days, news should come from Yanzhou in less than ten days.

Lin Minglang clenched his money tightly, his heart bleeding, "First, take the jade ornaments in the mansion to pawn, and then go to the Changsheng Shop to borrow the remaining part!"

Two days later, the second wife handed over a stack of banknotes with a gloomy and resentful look on her face. Dozens of servants stood behind her carrying more than a dozen large red sandalwood boxes.

"The rest is the dowry left by your mother. The missing parts have been exchanged for banknotes. You should pack up and leave immediately. Don't stay in the general's mansion any longer!"

Lin Yushu took the banknote and couldn't help laughing sarcastically when she heard the second lady's words.

"Pfft, General's Mansion? Is a General's Mansion without a general worthy of being called a General's Mansion?"

The Second Madam choked. Lin Yushu was right. The reason why the General's Mansion was called the General's Mansion was because there were two first-rank generals in the mansion, Lin Yushu's grandfather and father.

Lin Yushu's grandfather passed away many years ago, and Lin Mingyue is about to leave the mansion. The name of this general's mansion sounds ironic.

The fear is that... Emperor Ming will take back the plaque of "General's Mansion" bestowed by the previous emperor. At that time, their mansion can only be renamed "Lin Mansion". It seems that only the name has changed, but the essence is that Lin Minglang has lost the emperor's favor.

The Second Madam calmed her somewhat flustered mind and waved her hand to have the servants carry the dowry into the Bixiao Courtyard.

Lin Yushu took the dowry list slowly and checked each item one by one, not even missing a gold hairpin or a jade pendant.

The Second Madam was furious at Lin Yushu's behavior. Did she still think that he would be greedy for her?

It was not wrong to think so. If the Second Lady had not been in a hurry to drive the brother and sister out of the house, she might have really withheld some good things.

Fortunately, Lin Minglang warned the Second Madam in advance not to do anything dirty, otherwise, if she were to be discovered by Lin Yushu, there would probably be a lot of arguments and she would have to stay in the mansion for a few days!

The Second Lady rolled her eyes and made “tsk tsk” sounds, leaving Lin Ling dumbfounded.

How could a lady of a mansion behave in such a materialistic manner?

No wonder the old lady disliked Su Ruxiu who came from a humble family...

After confirming everything was correct, Lin Yushu ordered her men to take the boxes and the things that had been packed up in the yard, and march out of the house in front of the Second Madam.

He didn't stay in the mansion for a moment, and his impatient look made the second wife unhappy.

"Bah! Stop pretending, you'll cry sooner or later!"

The people carrying the boxes were all tall and strong soldiers from the palace. They were all soldiers who had followed Lin Mingyue and Lin Ling to the battlefield and killed the enemy. Although they were called soldiers from the palace, they were actually the personal guards of Lin Mingyue and Lin Ling.

Dozens of straight and handsome figures carried huge wooden boxes and lined up neatly. Even their walking postures were exactly the same. They followed Lin Yushu's carriage quietly.

As soon as they left the house, this group of people instantly attracted the attention of everyone nearby.

"Look, the group of people coming out of the general's mansion are all very impressive, and it's obvious at first glance that they are not ordinary people!"

"Isn't the one riding in the front the General of Cavalry Lin Ling? His father is still under house arrest in the palace for treason!"

"I heard that General Lin Mingyue's brother, Minister of Rites Lin Minglang, took advantage of his house arrest in the palace to drive his sons and daughters out of the mansion. I heard that they even separated the family tree!"

"Minister of Rites Lin Minglang has always been kind and benevolent. How could he do such a treacherous and heartless thing?"

"Of course not. Brothers have to settle accounts openly. Minister Lin must be afraid of being implicated by General Lin. It's only been a few days since General Lin got into trouble, and he's rushing to drive his children out. Don't be so timid!"

Lin Yushu was not affected by the rumors at all. She looked through the gap in the car curtain at the setting sun shining on the sunset in the sky. The bright red glow was like a touch of cinnabar, spreading across the sky, gorgeous and colorful.

Lin Yushu finally left the mansion that had ruined her life!

Her life was reborn again!
