Looking at Shi Yan's pale and bloodless face, Mrs. Shi was distressed but angry.

Old Madam Shi finally shook off Shi Yan's hand violently, and turned to glare at Jin Xilan.

"Okay, the ledger is for you."

It's here.

Jin Xilan hooked his lips with satisfaction, and then saluted.

"In that case, mother, let's have a good rest, and I'll retire first."

With that, Jin Xilan turned around and left.

However, just as Jin Xilan had just stepped out of the threshold, he suddenly heard the voice of the old lady's warning behind him.

"I want to see if you have the ability to leave the account book!"

Jin Xilan paused, and then slowly stepped out of the other leg, his voice cold.

"That's not something for the mother to worry about."

Mrs. Shi watched Jin Xilan slowly leave the courtyard, and Shi Yan on the side suddenly had weak legs and sat on the ground with a puff.

Shi Yan held the old lady's hand with some trembling: "Mother...... She, how did she know about it? ”

The old lady's face also became solemn.

Of course she wanted to know, too!

"It seems that it is not possible to sit still like this."

Old Madame's eyes gradually became a little gloomy.

"Go and bring me the box I put at the bedside."

The old lady looked at the maid on the side, who quickly turned around and did it.

Shi Yan watched the old lady take the box, took out a jade pendant from it, and then put it in Shi Yan's hand.

Shi Yan looked at this piece of jade with some astonishment, her body was transparent and free of impurities, and it didn't look like an ordinary thing.

"You go and take this thing and redeem Mama."

Shi Yan was stunned, she had also heard of it.

Since Mama was sent to the yamen by Jin Xilan, she was convicted of the crime of being a master and temporarily locked up in prison, and I heard that she would be beheaded for a while, but I don't know if it's true.

Mother was willing to exchange her for such a good jade?

I saw that the old lady's somewhat cloudy eyes flashed with cold light.

"Only she can be willing to pay for our lives."

Shi Yan couldn't help but be startled by her eyes, but if that incident was dug up by Jin Xilan, she was afraid that she would be ruined!

Thinking of this, Shi Yan seemed to have made up her mind.

"I'll go!"

Looking at the back of her daughter leaving, the old lady turned her head to look at the maid on the side.

"Is there any news for His Royal Highness?"

The maid pondered for a long time, and then shook her head solemnly.

The old lady couldn't help but stand up: "You can't sit still, you go and prepare a letter for me."

We must deal with the scourge of Jin Xilan as soon as possible!

On the other side, Jin Xilan almost just returned to the room, and Steward Lin respectfully sent a new account book.

Song Mi took it a little incredulously and handed it to Jin Xilan.

Jin Xilan flipped through a few pages a little lazily, glanced at the housekeeper with cold eyes, and saw that the housekeeper hung his head and didn't dare to look up a little nervously.

"Heh, Steward Lin doesn't have to be so nervous."

was suddenly named by Jin Xilan, Steward Lin couldn't help but be frightened, and his body couldn't help but tremble.

Madame laughed......

Jin Xilan casually threw the ledger aside, and then supported his temple with one hand, looking at him with a smile for a long time.

Steward Lin was not good at being looked at by her naked gaze.

Seeing that Steward Lin knelt on the ground with a puff, he said in a panic:

"Please forgive me! It's really the old lady's order, and I can't disobey ......"

Songmi on the side couldn't help but be a little surprised, but she was scared like this after being stared at by her lady for a while?

However, Madame's coercion is indeed a little terrifying.

"I know."

Jin Xilan chuckled and stood up, and then slowly walked to his side.

Steward Lin wiped the cold sweat from the corner of his forehead with a little trembling, and only listened to Jin Xilan say casually:

"I also know that you have a seriously ill mother in your hometown and a son who was born mute......"

"You often steal things from the house and sell them to treat your mother and son."

Steward Lin's pupils shrank suddenly!

This, how would these ladies know!

I saw Jin Xilan's shoes slowly stop in front of him.

"Wronged! Madam! I've never stolen! Please also Mrs. Mingjian! ”

Jin Xilan looked at him and kowtowed to herself several times, and she was a little irritated when she heard it.

"You're mistaken, I didn't want to expose this, otherwise I wouldn't have told you these things in my house."

Steward Lin's kowtowing action was abrupt, and he looked up a little suspiciously.

is facing Jin Xilan's smiling eyes.

He subconsciously shuddered.

How does it feel like Madame has changed as a different person?

I saw Jin Xilan slowly squatting down in front of him, and instead placed an envelope in front of him.

"I can help you."

Steward Lin picked up the envelope with some trembling tremors, opened it and took a look, only to find that it was a bunch of silver tickets inside!

This amount is almost the amount of money that a housekeeper can earn in two years in this general's mansion!

"Ma'am, what is this?!"

Steward Lin looked at Jin Xilan in shock.

"This is the price I paid for you."

Steward Lin actually thought that Jin Xilan might buy him.

After all, although Jin Xilan is married, if an outsider wants to control the entire General's Mansion, he must start from him, the housekeeper.

But he never expected it to be so straightforward.

I saw Jin Xilan holding his chin and saying with a smile:

"I can give you money, you go and bring your mother and son to Kyoto, and I will treat them."

"But, the price is that in this general's mansion, you come to be my person."

Steward Lin only felt sweaty, why does this sound so much like a deed of sale?

Looking at Steward Lin's nervous appearance, Jin Xilan patted him on the shoulder comfortingly.

"I know you may not be able to trust me, but I've made my sincerity clear."

As she spoke, she slowly stood up, her back to him.

"What I need is just to be my person in secret, and I still need you to continue to do things for the old lady on the surface......"

"I'll give you time to think about it, think it through and come back to me."

Steward Lin hesitated for a long time with the silver ticket in his hand, and finally gritted his teeth and turned away.

Songmi looked at the figure of the housekeeper gradually disappearing, and hurriedly took two steps forward.

"Madame! Where did you get that much money? ”

The old lady probably wouldn't give her so much money for a month.

Jin Xilan said casually:

"It's my dowry."

"Dowry?!"

Matsumi suddenly blew up.

"Madame! How can you use a dowry for that kind of person! That's the only confidence you have! ”

Jin Xilan couldn't help but plug his ears with his hands and blink with a smile.

"I'm suddenly a little tired, let me take a nap."

"Madame!"

She slowly closed the door, and Songmi was a little angry, but she could only give up.

Jin Xilan slowly leaned against the door panel.

The smile in the corner of his eye gradually faded without a trace.

Buying Steward Lin is just the first step for her to get involved and seize power.

Without his help, it would be difficult for Jin Xilan to have the ability to confront Old Madam Shi.

It is understandable that Songmi doesn't know the inside story.

She slowly walked over to Twilight's bed, looking at his still unconscious face.

The storm is coming.

When will you wake up?
