TFWYH – Chapter 457 A Generous Person

The group quickly arrived at the magistrate’s office.

When Yi Zhanhong heard that Jin Lin was going to sell the bamboo sea to Tang Wan, he was stunned for a moment.

That fellow was actually willing to part with it?

Tsk tsk… looks like Tang Wan must have spent quite a bit of money.

Thinking this, Yi Zhanhong felt a trace of sympathy for her.

With his involvement smoothing things over, the procedures went quickly.

The bamboo sea soon changed hands, and Tang Wan and Ling Yue… had their very last savings drained dry.

After completing the transfer, Ling Yu and Tang Wan returned to the inn.

Jin Lin, meanwhile, pulled Ling Yue along, and the two of them happily went off to eat.

Jin Lin brought Ling Yue to Wanyue Tower, one of his own establishments.

He deliberately reserved a private room and ordered fine wine and delicious dishes.

Neither of them noticed that Wen Dai’er was also there at that moment.

The instant she saw Ling Yue, she immediately recognized her as the girl who had followed Tang Wan out of the city before.

Anyone who mixed with that vixen couldn’t be a good person!

After she had run away last time, Manager Wang of Zuixian Tower had specially gone to see Madam Yi and told her about Wen Dai’er’s embarrassing behavior.

This time, Madam Yi truly despised her and had already decided to send her back the next day.

Wen Dai’er was nearly furious to the point of exploding, yet she had no way to change Madam Yi’s mind.

She had even told Madam Yi that she didn’t insist on marrying into a prestigious family—just someone from a decent household would be fine!

Otherwise, how humiliating would it be to return home like this?

Madam Yi gave a cold smile and said bluntly, “Don’t you understand? Your reputation in Weng City is completely ruined. What respectable young master would take a liking to someone like you? The fact that I’m still willing to send someone to escort you back is already out of consideration for family ties. If you don’t appreciate it, then get out of the Yi residence immediately. The Yi family’s reputation is upright and proper—we have no place for filth like you!”

Wen Dai’er was scolded until she couldn’t even raise her head.

The servants around her were all laughing at her.

Tomorrow… she would also leave Weng City and return to that small county town.

And all of this was Tang Wan’s fault!

She couldn’t deal with Tang Wan right now—but couldn’t she deal with a lowly little maid?

Thinking of this, Wen Dai’er whispered a few words into Cui Liu’s ear.

Cui Liu was truly exasperated. “Miss, can you stop making trouble? This matter was your fault to begin with, you—”

“Shut up, you lowly maid! I’m the mistress; you’re just a servant. It’s not your place to lecture me. Are you going or not? If you refuse, I’ll have you sold off immediately!” Wen Dai’er interrupted her, her expression somewhat ferocious.

Startled, Cui Liu hurriedly agreed.

She really couldn’t understand it. Although Wen Dai’er usually acted hypocritically refined and aloof, she had been a normal person.

How had she become so unhinged after seeing that handsome young man?

Forget it.

She was just a servant. Other than obeying her mistress, she had no other path to take.

Cui Liu quickly left the restaurant…

Inside the private room, Master Jin cheerfully introduced local customs and traditions to Ling Yue, eventually mentioning the bamboo sea.

“That place used to be useless. Who would have thought the government would plan to build an academy district there? I was thinking of finding a time to have the bamboo grove cut down and build several large estates to sell. Didn’t expect your big brother to swoop in and beat me to it.”

Ling Yue smiled and poured him some wine. “Brother Jin and my big brother could be said to have become acquainted through conflict. My big brother is actually a very good person. If you spend more time with him, you’ll see.”

Jin Lin nodded vigorously. “Of course I’ll keep in touch. I still plan to take the provincial examination in the future. When the time comes, I’ll need to trouble your big brother again.”

Ling Yue said, “Don’t be fooled by how cold my big brother seems. He’s actually very loyal to his friends. If you ask him for help and it’s within his ability, he’ll definitely help!”

“I can tell. Your big brother and you alike are both straightforward and generous people!” Jin Lin said, finishing another cup of wine.

Just then, the door was kicked open.

Several burly men stormed in and reached out to grab Ling Yue.

“You wretched girl, we’ve finally found you! Don’t you know how worried your mother’s been? And you dare to elope with some wild man!”
