Tragic death and rebirth, the daughter of a general poisoned the government and the country
Chapter 219 Contract of Sale
When the old lady heard Lin Qingrou's words, her eyes went blank for a moment.
Lin Minglang was dismissed? Lin Jiang was executed?
The Lin family... lost?!
The old lady's eyes rolled back and she instantly fainted, foaming at the mouth and her limbs twitching.
"Grandma! Grandma, please don't die now, someone come quickly!!"
In the end, under Lin Qingrou's murderous gaze, the court doctor tremblingly gave the old lady several doses of strong medicine, barely saving her life.
However, the old lady suffered too much shock and has now fallen into a complete coma, and can only barely hang on to her last breath.
Lin Qingrou breathed a sigh of relief. At least she was not dead. If the old lady had died, she would have to observe mourning and would not be able to marry Nan Huaishuo.
All Lin Qingrou's hopes now lie on Nan Huaishuo. As long as she marries Nan Huaishuo, at least she can live a life of wealth and glory. She has not given up her dream of becoming a queen.
As long as Nan Huaishuo can ascend the throne, she still has hope of becoming queen!
So what if she has no maternal family? The current queen has no one from her maternal family, so she is worse than her.
Lin Qingrou's eyes flashed with a burning light. In less than a month, she would be able to marry Nan Huaishuo as she wished.
Once we enter the Fifth Prince's Palace, everything will be fine!
On the other side, at the Fifth Prince’s residence.
Clatter. Clatter.
The teacup and the boiling hot tea, mixed with the ink in the inkstone, spilled all over the floor, instantly making the ground a mess.
Nan Huaishuo then hammered the sandalwood table several times, causing the documents on the table to scatter.
The room is messy.
Nan Huaishuo was breathing heavily, his chest heaving violently with anger. Gu Zhi stood quietly aside, ignoring Nan Huaishuo's actions.
"Lin Jiang and his son are really despicable! How dare they play tricks on this prince again and again!"
A few days ago, Lin Jiang reported to Nan Huaishuo that he had a way to help Nan Huaishuo regain the Ministry of Revenue. That was for Lin Jiang to steal the disaster relief silver from Xuzhou and then frame it on Ye Shibo.
Simple and crude, but effective.
After all, Emperor Ming has never liked the Duke's Mansion, so maybe he can really bring them down with this.
After Ye Shibo is dismissed, Nan Huaishuo will secretly help Lin Jiang take the position, so that half of the Ministry of Revenue will be in his hands.
"How are you going to steal the disaster relief money?"
"I have placed a secret guard among the clerks in charge of guarding the treasury in the Ministry of Revenue. With his own strength, it is not a problem for him to steal 100,000 taels of silver."
One hundred thousand taels?
Nan Huaishuo stroked his chin and looked at Lin Jiang thoughtfully. He didn't say anything. The sudden silence in the room made Lin Jiang sweat on his back.
"This, this hundred thousand taels, I will definitely..."
"No need, you keep it."
Lin Jiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If Nan Huaishuo asked for the 100,000 taels, he would have no reason to keep it privately. He would not be able to pay the usury of Changsheng Shop, and this plan would be in vain.
Seeing Lin Jiang's relieved look, Nan Huaishuo laughed in his heart, did he really think that these one hundred thousand taels were easy to get?
This is the handle that Lin Jiang brought to his doorstep himself. As long as he accepts the 100,000 taels of silver, Nan Huaishuo will always have the handle on Lin Jiang. Lin Jiang's life and death in the future will depend on whether Nan Huaishuo will bring up the past.
Thinking of this, Nan Huaishuo suddenly felt that Lin Jiang could be kept for the time being. Otherwise, given how Lin Jiang had plotted against him before and forced him to marry Lin Qingrou, sooner or later Nan Huaishuo would squeeze out all his remaining value and then abandon him.
The plan is simple but effective. Nan Huaishuo only needs to wait to reap the final fruits.
But he didn't expect that what he finally received was the news that Lin Minglang was dismissed from his post and Lin Jiang was executed!
This damn father and son actually deceived him. They borrowed money at high interest and even dared to say that they would help him regain the Ministry of Revenue. It turned out that it was all for their own sake!
Nan Huaishuo thought that the most Lin Jiang wanted was to be promoted to the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, but he didn't expect that his ultimate goal was actually these 100,000 taels of silver!
According to the original plan, the 100,000 taels would be hidden by Lin Jiang. After all, the silver ingots with the inscription of the Imperial Household Department were too eye-catching and could not be used easily.
As a result, the father and son actually took the money to Changsheng Shop to pay back the usury!
In the end, Nan Huaishuo not only completely lost control of the Ministry of Revenue, but also lost the support of the Lin Mansion. It was a complete loss of both the wife and the army!
Nan Huaishuo covered his chest which was about to explode with anger and asked Gu Zhi accurately.
"Sir, what good strategy can you come up with to reverse the current situation?"
Gu Zhi's face, hidden under his robe, revealed only a pair of sinister eyes. He slowly shook his head.
"His Majesty has not yet suspected you. If you act rashly, it will only arouse His Majesty's suspicion."
Nan Huaishuo nodded. After this incident, the Lin family was completely ruined. What about his marriage with Lin Qingrou...
As if he had guessed what Nan Huaishuo was thinking, Gu Zhi spoke lightly.
"Although the Lin family has been defeated, Lin Qingrou is the one that His Majesty ordered Your Highness to marry, and this marriage cannot be cancelled."
Nan Huaishuo clenched his fists. Originally, he liked Lin Qingrou, but he liked the support that the Lin family behind her could bring even more.
But in the current situation, Lin Qingrou instantly became a hot potato. Nan Huaishuo wished to stay as far away from her as possible. Unfortunately, this marriage was arranged for him by Emperor Ming himself, and he had to marry Lin Qingrou no matter what.
unless……
Nan Huaishuo thought of the Crown Princess Liu Mei. The Crown Prince used Liu Mei to bring King Zhao under his command. It seemed that this woman was used well and was no worse than a man.
Everyone around Nan Huaishuo has value in existence. Even if they have no value, they must create value. Nan Huaishuo will never keep useless people. Since Lin Qingrou must be married, he must let her maximize her value.
"Your Highness's wedding is coming soon, and I am almost ready. I just need to take the last step."
After hearing Gu Zhi's words, Nan Huaishuo's tense expression relaxed a little and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
"Thank you for your hard work, sir. With your medicine, the prince's life will be completely in my hands!"
Gu Zhi bowed his head humbly and saluted.
"It will be as your Highness wishes."
"Hahahahaha..."
On the other side, in the Lin Mansion.
Because of a series of misfortunes, the Lin Mansion is no longer able to support the large number of servants in the mansion. So in order to prepare for Lin Qingrou's wedding, Lin Minglang had to sell off a large number of items in the mansion and also sold most of the servants.
Among them were Cuizhu’s parents and two elder brothers.
Lin Yushu had already made arrangements with the human traffickers and bought back all the indentures of Cuizhu's brother and Zhuzi's family.
"This is the indenture of your family. If you want to leave, I will give it to you directly. If you have no place to work, you can stay in my house, or go to the farm to help."
Cuizhu's family was so moved that they burst into tears. They were born in the Lin family and had never had the chance to choose their own lives. This was the first time they were given a choice, so besides being moved, they were also deeply frightened.
After the family had discussed it, Cuizhu wiped the tears from her eyes and stepped forward to reply.
"Miss, our family wants to stay!"
