Lin Chujiu didn’t answer her. She looked at Lin Furen (Madam Lin) seriously and faintly smiled: “This depends on Lin Furen’s (Madam Lin) sincerity. As Lin Furen (Madam Lin) knows, I have always been stupid and have trouble remembering things very often.”

She forgot about money!?

Lin Furen’s (Madam Lin) mouth slightly twitched. She took a deep breath: “Five hundred thousand taels.”

If Lin Chujiu actually marries Prince Xiao, then she needed at least ten million taels worth of dowry. And if she were to marry an ordinary person, she needed at least seven or eight hundred thousand taels.

Lin Furen (Madam Lin) intentionally lowered the cost. But Lin Chujiu had already felt that in this kind of situation, the other party would deliberately offer a lower cost and it seems Lin Furen (Madam Lin) is only too eager to do so.

Lin Chujiu’s lips curve into smile. She gently shook her head: “Is Lin Furen (Madam Lin) sending out a beggar? Are you saying that your Di Chang nu’s (Elder Daughter) life is only worth five hundred thousand taels?”

“Then, how much do you want? Chujiu, you clearly know that your Fuqin (Father) doesn’t have much money. That five hundred thousand taels are my private money.”

Lin Furen’s (Madam Lin) anger quickly fired up, but she had to endure.

Di Chang nu’s (Elder Daughter) life!?

Lin Furen (Madam Lin) regrets it!

She shouldn’t have used chronic poison, she should have killed this bitch so that she wouldn’t have ended up in this kind of situation.

“Lin Furen (Madam Lin), you shouldn’t be trying to cheat me. Do you think I don’t know anything? Although Fuqin (Father) doesn’t have any ancestral property, he has worked all these years. Of course there’s money. Are you saying that his deceased wife had only five hundred thousand taels of dowry because she came from a poor family?”

Lin Chujiu didn’t care how much Lin Furen (Madam Lin) regretted it, or how much she hated her. Now, she was only thinking about the amount of money she could ask for, enough to torment this good stepmother of hers.


Lin Chujiu doesn’t really want that much money even though she loves it. She is not a greedy person. She was only doing this to get revenge on her seemingly pure, but opportunistic and vicious stepmother.

“How much do you want in the end?”Lin Furen’s (Madam Lin) anger fired up. Poor Family?

Who has a poor family? Why would they send out her Jiejie (Elder Sister) with only five hundred thousand taels of dowry?

“Well … …” Lin Chujiu pretend to be thinking and looks a little helpless, then said: “Five hundred and fifty thousand taels.”

Lin Furen (Madam Lin) hadn’t had the time to rejoice, when she heard another sentence from Lin Chujiu’s mouth: “But, I want five hundred and fifty thousand taels of gold, not silver!”

“What?”

Lin Furen (Madam Lin) directly stood up in shock, “Five hundred thousand taels of gold? Why don’t you just rob the entire family? ” Lin Furen(Madam Lin) could no longer hold up her anger. Her face turned purple-red and her eyes were sparkling with fire… …

If only Lin Chujiu wouldn’t get married tomorrow, she would have killed her immediately!

She would have killed her secretly in the backyard and crushed her like an ant.

Lin Chujiu might be with her right now, but how could she drag her out from the door?

Lin Chujiu couldn’t get out from this room. But… …

Lin Chujiu had picked the best time to confront her, the day before her wedding. Lin Furen’s (Madam Lin) life would be miserable if Prince Xiao and the emperor found out that Lin Chujiu met sudden misfortune.

Lin Chujiu is sinister enough, she didn’t play a simple role just so that she could keep her life and endure it today.

Lin Furen (Madam Lin) kept gasping for breath. She hadn’t noticed that she had said something in her anger … …

Lin Furen (Madam Lin) might not have noticed, but that did not mean that Lin Chujiu hadn’t heard her. She laughed like a sly fox and said: “Lin Furen (Madam Lin) is saying that five hundred and fifty thousand taels of gold is too much? Then as the Di Chang nu (Elder Daughter) am I not worth half of Lin Family’s entire fortune?”

“Chujiu, you still have meimei (Younger sister) and didi (Younger brother).” Lin Furen (Madam Lin) almost vomited a mouthful of blood … …

Half of Lin Family’s entire fortune?

What was Lin Chujiu’s qualifications for her to get half of Lin Family’s entire fortune?

“My niang (mother) gave birth to me.” In other words, she didn’t recognize her meimei (younger sister) and didi (younger brother).

Lin Furen (Madam Lin) took a deep breath and opened her mouth, but in a stiff manner: “Chujiu, you wounded your meimei (younger sister) two days ago. I’m afraid that Crown Prince Xiao Tianrui is not happy because of this matter, and the Empress is also very dissatisfied.”

Lin Furen (Madam Lin) used the Crown Prince and the Empress to settle and stop her negotiations with Lin Chujiu.

But would she heed it?

Lin Chujiu smiled and said: “Lin Furen (Madam Lin), I just taught my meimei (younger sister) a lesson in front of the Crown Prince. But you’re saying the empress will what? I’m sure you know that the Crown Prince and the empress cannot control the imperial court and Prince Xiao’s courtyard.”

Soon, Lin Chujiu and the empress will become sister-in-law and she will also become the Crown Prince’s aunt. If both of them wanted to teach her a lesson, she wouldn’t let them take the initiative… …

“If Wanting did something wrong, muqin (mother) will discipline her. Chujiu you shouldn’t have gone too far.” The elder sister acting like a mother, as if she is not here, is not right!

“Lin Furen (Madam Lin), you have taken good care of me, so teaching her a lesson on behalf of you is not a big deal.” Lin Chujiu rubbed her nails and gently blew them, as if Lin Furen (Madam Lin) was not in front of her.

Lin Chujiu hadn’t washed for three days, but her hands didn’t get dirty in the slightest. Lin Furen (Madam Lin) suddenly thought of something: Did Lin Chujiu leave the mansion?

If not, how was Lin Chujiu, who should be hungry for three days, still be alive and kicking?

Lin Furen (Madam Lin) squinted her eyes. Her heart couldn’t help but think… …
