Chapter 340 The Prince's Mystery: The Cannon Fodder Bride Forced into a Substitute Marquis'
Lin Yushan knew that the Marquis's mansion had strict rules, and he was also worried about Su Jinyue's life in the mansion. He wondered if Su Jinyue's desire to make money now meant that she had suffered some kind of grievance in the mansion.
"Yueyue, how are you doing at the Marquis's mansion? If you've been wronged, you must tell me. Your grandfather and uncle aren't very powerful, but if you're bullied, I'll risk my old life to stand up for you!"
Su Jinyue looked at her grandfather with emotion, hugged his arm, and said coquettishly, "Grandpa, I'm doing very well in the Marquis's mansion, and my husband is protecting me."
The reason I plan to open a shop is because I have too much money in my dowry, so I thought I'd invest in a shop to make some money..."
Lin Yushan finally felt relieved after learning almost everything about Su Jinyue's life these past few days.
Afterwards, Lin Yushan tested his grandson-in-law Shen Huaizhi. He had given up hope, but Shen Huaizhi surprised him.
Shen Huaizhi, the illegitimate son of the Marquis's family, was somewhat weak, but he did not show any signs of being bedridden or dying as rumored, and he was quite learned.
As for their looks, standing next to his granddaughter, they're clearly a perfect match, a match made in heaven, hahaha...
Unexpectedly, the marriage that was originally looked down upon ended up being a lucky break for his granddaughter, so Su Fanglin can be considered to have done a good deed.
Lunch was at the Lin family's house. Most of the dishes on the table were Su Jinyue's favorites. Su Jinyue was touched by the love her grandfather and uncle had for her, and in the end, she ate until she was stuffed.
When they returned to the Marquis's residence, their maternal grandfather and uncle packed a lot of things for them, until the carriage was almost full before they stopped.
As Su Jinyue sat in the carriage, reflecting on the day's achievements, she felt she had gained a great deal.
Her maternal grandfather and uncle were in charge of choosing the manager, so she didn't care.
Su Jinyue handed over the pills she had prepared for her grandfather, and specifically instructed him to take them on time.
Previously, Su Jinyue was unmarried, and the Lin family was subject to the Su family, sending countless New Year's gifts to the Su family every year.
Now things are much better. Su Jinyue has left the Su family and married into the Marquis's mansion. The Marquis of Xuanping's mansion is much more intimidating than Su Fanglin, a fifth-rank official.
Su Jinyue specifically told her maternal grandfather and uncle that they could do things in the name of the Marquis of Xuanping's mansion in the future. As long as it was not illegal, disorderly conduct, or bullying, most people would not dare to mess with them.
To outsiders, even the gatekeepers of the prime minister's household are more powerful than a seventh-rank official, simply because they can talk to important figures and have powerful backers.
Su Jinyue did indeed marry into the Xuanping Marquis's mansion, although she married only a son of a concubine, and this son was not well received. However, the true situation in the circle of the powerful and wealthy was only known to the upper class, and the lower class had no way of knowing about these things.
Outsiders are already intimidated by the name of the Marquis of Xuanping's mansion, and their attitude softens considerably. Even if they inquire, they can only find out that the Lin family's granddaughter married into the Marquis's mansion. This way, others won't dare to plot against the Lin family, and the Lin family's business can proceed more smoothly.
Su Jinyue wondered what technology she could use to help the Lin family reach new heights.
The Lin family's main business is cloth and silk. If they were to bring out the technology of looms, it would seem too big a deal for the Lin family to handle.
Then why not first bring out the technology for dyeing fabric? There aren't many colors available for fabrics now, and most of them are rather dark.
The clothes worn by nobles are colorful but expensive. If the Lin family could provide brightly colored and inexpensive fabrics, they would surely be well-received.
When she collaborates with the Lin family, even if it's just a small profit, the dividends will be substantial.
Thinking of the money that was about to be in her hands, Su Jinyue laughed out loud, feeling a bit greedy.
Once we've made some money, we'll figure out something else to do.
Su Jinyue remembered that her grandfather had said that the big merchants in the south were planning to raise funds to do maritime trade, so why not let her grandfather get involved?
Su Jinyue's space also contains high-yield crop seeds, such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn, which can be taken out under the pretext of maritime trade.
The current emperor is quite good; he is diligent in governing and loves his people. The Great Xia Dynasty is relatively stable. If they could produce high-yield crop seeds, it would definitely be a great achievement for the emperor!
I wonder if we can get Shen Huaizhi a noble title in the future?
Su Jinyue shook her head, feeling it was inappropriate, at least not now.
Right now, she and Shen Huaizhi are still too weak. What if the Marquis of Xuanping's mansion steals the credit for such a great achievement?
Su Jinyue didn't want to waste her efforts and end up doing all the work for someone else!
No, no, let's wait and see...
Shen Huaizhi found Su Jinyue's expression inside the carriage extremely interesting. He wondered what she was thinking, as she would nod, shake her head, and occasionally chuckle.
Shen Huaizhi was watching with doting eyes when suddenly the carriage sped up. Su Jinyue, lost in thought, lost her balance and was about to fall when Shen Huaizhi quickly caught her and pulled her into his arms.
Once the carriage had stabilized, and after hearing the driver's apology, it was learned that the horse had been startled by firecrackers set off by children by the roadside.
It was a false alarm, but at this moment, Shen Huaizhi was reluctant to let go of Su Jinyue.
Shen Huaizhi reached out and tucked Su Jinyue's stray hair behind her ear, gently asking, "What were you thinking about just now? You seemed so engrossed."
Su Jinyue looked at Shen Huaizhi with sparkling eyes, then quickly replied, "I was thinking that my husband is so considerate, so thoughtful, and so handsome. What great good fortune I must have accumulated in my past life to have such a perfect husband!"
Shen Huaizhi blushed from Su Jinyue's straightforward praise!
Although she knew Su Jinyue was making things up, she was still touched by her words and even forgot what she had just asked.
"Don't talk nonsense! Be careful someone hears you!" Shen Huaizhi scolded in a low voice.
Su Jinyue absolutely adored Shen Huaizhi's insincere expression; he was clearly delighted, his lips were practically curled up, yet he just wouldn't admit it.
Su Jinyue immediately resorted to shamelessness, wrapping her arms around Shen Huaizhi's neck and refusing to get up from him.
"What's there to be afraid of? There's no one else around. It's just intimate fun in the bedroom. There's nothing shameful about it!"
Shen Huaizhi had nothing to say and could only resign himself to holding Su Jinyue.
In fact, Shen Huaizhi did not reject Su Jinyue's intimacy with him, but as his health gradually improved, he began to exhibit normal male reactions that he had never had when he was sick and weak.
Especially when Su Jinyue gets close to him, Shen Huaizhi seems to have no resistance to her. A casual handshake or a glance from Su Jinyue is enough to make him fantasize.
Not to mention that Su Jinyue is now snuggling in Shen Huaizhi's arms, so intimately close, which is a sweet torment for Shen Huaizhi!
But if it came to getting Shen Huaizhi to release Su Jinyue, he would rather continue to suffer!
