Murong Chong was stunned in his heart, why did Lin Ruo feel like this? She was only fifteen years old, how could she have experienced such an experience? But the sincere emotion and real pain in those eyes made him unable to doubt it.

"Why are you saying this to me?" Murong Chong opened his mouth, only to find that his voice was unconsciously a little hoarse.

Lin Ruo shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I don't know either, maybe it's just to win your trust; Or maybe I have no one to talk to but you. ”

There is a grave in the heart, and the surviving live.

The air was quiet again, and both of them were immersed in their own memories, but the pain was the same.

"It is not advisable to waste food because of choking, rather than living with self-deception, it is better to learn to let go and look forward."

Facing Murong Chong's deep gaze, Lin Ruo continued to say slowly: "Lord Wang, you should have guessed that this marriage contract was begged by me from the emperor. I don't want to marry the crown prince, I don't want to marry King Ye, and I don't want to be a bargaining chip and a victim for the two of them to fight for power, I just want to protect the Lin family, that's all. Today, I, Tobo Yu, invite you over, just to get the word out of the way. You don't have to worry too much, the marriage contract between you and me, to put it bluntly, is just a covenant. ”

A piece of paper ...... Covenant, that's it?

Murong Chong was silent for a moment and then spoke, "This is not enough to make me believe in you. ”

"Then, if I tell you that the real owner of Xiang Xuehai is me, does the prince think that I am qualified to win your trust?"

"What did you say?"

Lin Ruo hooked the corners of his lips, with a faint smile in his clear eyes: "Not only Xiangxuehai, but the entire Lin family's business, all over Donglu and even Fanbang, is handled by me." Only a handful of people know this secret, except for my uncle, Xiao Qi, and several big shopkeepers of the Lin family's shop, only you and Boyu. This sincerity, does the prince think it is enough? ”

Murong Chong was silent again, although the Lin family was an imperial businessman, but in terms of business, it has always been tepid, so it has never attracted the attention of the crown prince or King Ye, until "Xiangxuehai" was born, and then it was a standout and a daily progress, which made people truly realize the Lin family's presence in the mall that cannot be ignored.

If all this is from this woman's hand, then ......

If you don't make a sound, it's a blockbuster.

So what does she want to do after this soaring sky?

Murong Chong took a deep breath and looked at the woman in front of him again, her situation was not surprised, her calm response, her scheming, if she was just an ordinary woman in the boudoir, it was indeed unbelievable.

"And what do you want?"

"The peace of the Lin family."

"That's it?" Murong Chong was a little incredulous.

"Of course it's more than that, but," Lin Ruo said bluntly, "The bargaining chip that the prince learned today should only be enough to exchange for this." ”

"What about the others?"

Lin Ruo smiled mysteriously: "When the time comes, I will say." ”

"Timing? Then if you put forward a request that the king can't fulfill, won't you even have a chance to regret it? ”

"The prince is a smart man, and so am I."

Therefore, what should not be mentioned, will not be mentioned.

Murong Chong looked at Lin Ruo, whose eyes were full of confidence again, and smiled knowingly: "Interesting." Then, this secret of yours, this king wants to guarantee that it will not be leaked to the prince, how should this price be calculated? ”

Lin Ruo's eyes did not appear the panic that Murong Chong expected, but the corners of his eyes were bent: "Shangyu flood, this reward is worth the money?" ”

"Do you have a way?" Murong Chong's eyebrows jumped.

This question, he was originally just joking, but he didn't expect Lin Ruo to take the initiative to jump into the pit!

Isn't it, you've already made up your mind?

"Wind and snow."

Murong Chong suddenly understood.

Yes, how did he forget about the wind and snow!

The flood in Shangyu, the next or now there will be a riot of displaced people, to treat the flood and appease the displaced people, one is money, the other is food. In today's Bian'an City, the most lively thing is the bidding of the wind and snowflakes, which is not only the grain of white flowers, but also the silver taels of white flowers! Money and food are exactly what the prince needs most.

And here in Lin Ruo, there is no shortage of both.

Lin Ruo evoked a smile of appreciation: "Sure enough, talking to smart people is labor-saving." ”

Sure enough, she admits that she is the owner of "Wind and Snow", which is not an exaggeration.

"You...... Already know about Shangyu? ”

"Lord Wang, you're also exalting me too much, aren't you?" Lin Ruo looked at Murong Chong incredulously and smiled dumbly, "Could it be that you think that if I pinch my fingers, I will know that there will be a flood in Shangyu, so I arranged it early?" ”

"It's too much of a coincidence, I have to be suspicious."

Lin Ruo smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Lord Wang, I have already given a promise, as an ally, I have nothing to disguise and deceive." Originally, I had other plans for the grain and grass raised by the wind and snow, but I didn't expect that I would encounter the flood in Shangyu first, so I had to use it to repay your favor first. ”

Hearing her say this, Murong Chong also felt that there was some truth, the bidding for the Oiran of Fenghuaxue started in early April, and Shangyu had not yet encountered floods at that time! Facing Lin Ruo's honesty, Murong Chong suddenly felt that he was quite a villain. But he seldom relented, and his expression was a little unnatural, as if he didn't know how to phrase it: "I...... ...... just now"

Lin Ruo looked at Murong Chong's rare appearance with interest, and when he saw his embarrassed appearance, he finally couldn't help laughing: "Lord Wang, you haven't never apologized to anyone, right?" ”

Murong Chong's embarrassment was once again broken by Lin Ruo, he glared at her angrily, and turned his gaze to the side, looking a little embarrassed.

Lin Ruo was in a rather happy mood: "It seems that I have a lot of fate with the prince, and I have seen everything that ordinary people have never seen!" Originally, I just planned to go out with Xiao Qi for a break, but I didn't expect an unexpected gain. ”

Murong Chong didn't answer, so Lin Ruo continued to say to himself: "If the prince feels guilty for Fang Cai's subjective assumptions, you might as well do me two favors." ”

"Please."

"First, don't take the initiative to mention the matter of the Lin family raising grain and grass in front of the emperor and the crown prince; Second, in the matter of Shangyu, please persuade the prince to go in person to cure the flood. ”

Murong Chong didn't understand for a while, and asked, "Why is this?" ”

"Raising grain and grass is the responsibility of the household department, and the Lin family cannot overstep its responsibilities; But if the Lin family easily helped the household department solve the problem, this credit can't be too lightly stated, right? ”

Murong Chong was silent, because of the bidding of the wind and snowflakes, the price of grain in Bian'an City had risen by more than two percent, and it was still rising with a strong momentum, which undoubtedly added a lot of difficulty to the household. In business, Lin Ruo stood in the position of the Lin family doing business, and this request was understandable, so he also agreed: "Okay." And what about the second point? ”

"He Ru, the prefect of Shangyu, should be from the prince's side, right?"

"Yes." Murong Chong didn't hide it, nor did he ask Lin Ruo how he knew this, but it was not surprising that a woman who could control the Lin family's business and push the Lin family to become the richest man in Bian'an had this ability.

"However, the crown prince should have nothing to do with this matter."

"Should?" Lin Ruo sneered softly, "Why is the prince himself unsure?" ”
