"Okay, I'll arrange it." After Steward Lin finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Lin Yunran took the account book, circled the shops with the most serious losses of the Lin family, wrote them down one by one, and then went to the field for an inspection.

She swapped the contents of several shops according to the geographical location and the composition of the surrounding residents, hoping to bring them back to life.

As for those who really can't come back to life, they just close their doors.

The shopkeepers and men of those shops were assigned by her to the western suburbs.

At the end of the day, Lin Yunran's leg was about to break.

Yue'er and Yuling, the two maids, soaked their feet and beat their legs, and she came back to life.

"Miss, the old man didn't do it as much as you before, so you better take care of yourself." Every time Yue'er thought she was going to rest, she always found something to do.

It's so hard to get her to take a break.

"If I were as powerful as my father, the Lin family wouldn't be what it is now. Besides, if the Lin family was able to become an imperial merchant back then, my father must have gone all the way like this, but you didn't see it. ”

Master Lin's hardships back then, Lin Yunran didn't have to think much about it to know.

He can let the Lin family enter the ranks of the four imperial merchants, relying on his business acumen.

He didn't do intelligence business, he didn't become a killer leader, and he didn't have the son of a cult leader.

He was the most ordinary of the four imperial merchants.

But it confirmed his difficulty.

"Miss, you should rest early, tomorrow night is the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, you can't go so haggardly. You are the head of the Lin family. Yue'er lit a soothing incense for her and lowered the bed curtain again.

But before she went out, Lin Yunran pinched An Shenxiang.

She didn't want to leave herself defenseless.

In the middle of the night, Lin Yunran felt movement in the room, she sat up suddenly, and looked outside through the bed curtain.

But she couldn't see anything.

Outside, there was no one in the dark.

Lin Yunran was sure that she had heard the sound just now, so there must have been an uninvited guest in this room.

She picked up the needle bag that was set aside, and the darts pressed under the pillow, and slowly lifted the bed curtain.

Just as she was about to stand up, a cold light fell in front of her eyes.

She flashed aside, picked up the candlestick on the cupboard, and blocked it.

"Ding—"

The metals collided together with a crisp sound.

Lin Yunran's arm was not strained in the first place, and she was so shocked that she couldn't hold the candlestick steadily.

The candlestick fell to the ground and nearly hit her foot.

In the night, she could only see a silhouette, and she couldn't even tell whether it was a man or a woman, let alone whether it was an acquaintance.

The fall of the candlestick distracted the person in front of him a little, Lin Yunran wanted to take this opportunity to throw the dart out, but before she could make a move, she heard a familiar voice-

"Hurt?"

Lou Yiqing?

The person who sneaked into her room in the middle of the night turned out to be Lou Yiqing?

"It turned out to be the owner." Lin Yunran withdrew the dart and walked to one

Beside him, he lit the candlestick and put it on the cabinet, the faint candlelight reflected the pair of good-looking peach blossom eyes, who else could it be if it wasn't Lou Yiqing?

"You haven't told me yet, how did you get hurt?" Lou Yiqing grabbed her hand and was about to check the injury on her hand, but she pulled it back.

"I accidentally strained myself while climbing the wall. If it weren't for your surprise attack, it would have been almost there. Lin Yunran gritted his teeth and said hatefully.

Break in in the middle of the night, forget it, and still attack her, is there any reason?

Didn't you say a write-off before?

The co-author was really said by Long Zhaohua, and Lou Yiqing's words couldn't be believed at all?

"I just wanted to test you, and I didn't know you had injuries on you." Lou Yiqing was also very aggrieved.

If he knew that Lin Yunran was injured, he wouldn't have done it.

But...... She has injuries on her body, and she can still catch her moves, which is really unusual.

She clearly doesn't know martial arts, how did she do it?

"The owner of the village came here in the middle of the night, I'm afraid it wasn't to test me, right?" Lin Yunran rubbed his arms and sat on the edge of the bed, only to notice that he was a little inappropriately dressed, and quickly grabbed the clothes next to the bed and put them on.

"Of course not." Lou Yiqing took off his cloak and took two steps to Lin Yunran's side, "I just wanted to come and see the birthday gift you gave to the Queen Mother, I didn't want to disturb you." Who knew that such a small movement could wake you up. ”

"How can the owner of the village be interested in the birthday gift I gave to the Queen Mother? But...... What rumors did you hear? Lin Yunran felt faintly uneasy in his heart.

She originally wanted to keep a low profile, but now it seems that even if she is low-key, it will inevitably be discovered that she has the talent of a puppeteer.

This is definitely not a good thing.

From the day she thought about currying favor with the Queen Mother, she was destined to have such a result.

But if you decide to do so, you should have to bear the consequences.

"Do you really think you can keep others from finding out?" Lou Yiqing didn't expect her to be so naïve.

I thought that if I didn't let too many people know, I would be able to hide it.

But now it has been spread all over the outside, and the birthday gift she gave to the Queen Mother is a pet that the Queen Mother lost a while ago.

"It seems that the subordinates in my house are not very strict-mouthed." Even if the people around her are very strict-mouthed, there is also a Huan Mama.

She was afraid that she would tell the old lady everything about this place in great detail.

Naturally, she will mention the birthday gift she is going to give to the Queen Mother.

And once this birthday gift wins the care of the Queen Mother, it will be a huge turning point for the Lin family.

She'll be back with that shitch again.

"With such a big Lin Mansion, there will always be people who will say that they leak their mouths. You should have thought of that in the first place. Lou Yiqing said, his eyes wandering around the room twice, "So, where is the birthday gift you prepared?" ”

Lin Yunran stretched out her hand and patted it on the bed, and a snowball-like cat quickly rushed to her hand, rubbed it on her wrist, and "meowed" softly, which made people's hearts melt.

Then she curled up in Lin Yunran's arms, licked, and pawed.

"Don't tell me, it's made of a pile of wood

into it. Lou Yiqing looked at the cat, and couldn't tell that it was fake

Especially the touch of his hand on it, he could even feel the temperature of that cat, and the disdain under its eyes.

Who could believe that this could be a puppet?

"Of course not. I learned from the Queen Mother what her cat looked like, and then I asked my men to look around and find this identical one. Lin Yunran deliberately teased him.

Lou Yiqing naturally wouldn't believe her words.

The easiest way to verify that this cat is real or fake is-

His hand poked into the cat's eyes, and his movements were so fast that Lin Yunran couldn't react.
