Chapter 170 Coffin
Lin Jinhu half-closed his eyes and looked at Zhusha and Qingwu's gradually receding backs.

As luck would have it, he had been to the largest casino in the capital, which was the prince's territory. He lost a few hands there and lost all his money in an instant. Later, he had no money to pay off his debts and suffered a lot.

Qingqing was puzzled as to why Lin Jinhu suddenly stopped. She followed Lin Jinhu's gaze and looked at the man and woman in front of them.

"Uncle, are there any problems with them?"

When Lin Jinhu heard Qingqing's childish voice, his mind was stirred.

"No problem, Qingqing, I'll take you to a place to play."

Qingqing was unwilling. She felt scared when she saw Lin Jinhu's sly smile.

What good could a rag like Lin Jinhu do with her? It would be good enough if she didn't bring disaster to Nanhou Mansion.

"Son-in-law, let's go back home. The master said you can't go out for too long." Qingqing has seen Wei Luoyan get angry, and he is even more terrifying than Wei Yanyue.

"Just listen to my advice. The young master has been in a bad mood recently. Try not to make him angry."

Lin Jinhu spat in displeasure, "Why should everyone accommodate him? If he's in a bad mood, what does it have to do with me? Qingqing, you are my concubine now, you should stand by me, let's go!"

He ignored Qingqing's struggle and forced her to go to the casino.

When passers-by saw Lin Jinhu wearing brocade clothes, they mistakenly thought that Lin Jinhu was from a noble family and no one dared to step forward to help.

On the other side, Ji Anyu and others came to West Street.

The driver didn't know where the Crown Princess was going, so he asked loudly, "Crown Princess, this is West Street, where are you going?"

"Keep going."

The carriage continued to move forward for a while. Ji Anyu lifted the curtain, saw several coffin shops, and hurriedly asked the coachman to stop.

Qiao Xin walked out of the carriage and looked around in shock.

"Princess, this is a coffin shop. It looks unlucky. How about we leave?"

"Why are you leaving? I came here just to see the coffin."

"Ah?" Qiao Xin was confused. "Princess, why do you want to make a coffin? Who wants it?"

Ji Anyu's eyes flashed, "Well... of course it will be useful in the future." If she hadn't heard that Wei Luoyan bought two coffins, she would have forgotten to prepare a coffin for Shen Jing in advance.

The production process of a good coffin is very long, and since it had to be prepared after Shen Jing's death, the coffin was inevitably made in a crude way.

Qiao Xin had no suspicion of his intention. The Crown Princess always had her own opinions. Who knows, someone might have made the Crown Princess unhappy again, so she helped him prepare the coffin in advance.

"Princess, it's unlucky inside. I'll go and help you check it."

"No need, I'll take a look myself. You can just call me Madam in front of outsiders."

Of course, she had to choose Shen Jing's coffin herself. After all, Shen Jing shared a bed with her and was the father of her future child, so she had to pay more attention to him.

Ji Anyu glanced at all the coffin shops on the roadside and finally chose a luxuriously decorated coffin shop. She looked at the coffins in the shop without changing her expression.

When the shopkeeper saw the female guest in the lead had her hair done in a bun and looked very elegant, he thought that this guest must be a distinguished guest!
He smiled and walked over to her. "What kind of coffin do you need? We can make it to order."

Ji Anyu pointed at the store's coffin and said, "Can you do better? Use good wood, and carve exquisite patterns on the coffin. I'm not in a hurry to come and get it, so you can take your time."

Qiao Xin looked at the store's coffin in surprise. The person who made the Crown Prince's wife unhappy must be of noble status.

No wonder Qiao Xin didn't expect that the coffin was prepared for the prince.

After all, the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess had a very good relationship, and sweetness was everywhere in the mansion. The Crown Prince smiled more often, and often went to the Crown Princess's room and asked for water several times at night.

The old people in the mansion all said that there would be a little prince. The shopkeeper was so happy that his mouth was almost open to his ears. "Of course, ma'am, don't worry, I will definitely satisfy you. Can you pay the deposit first?"

Ji Anyu readily handed the silver note she had prepared in advance to the shopkeeper.

After finishing the work, Ji Anyu seemed to have accomplished something important. He slowly took Qiao Xin to the intersection of West Street to wait for Zhusha and Qingwu.

……

In the casino, Lin Jinhu was so addicted to gambling that he bet all his belongings.

"Open, open, open! Ah! Why did I lose again?" Lin Jinhu stared at the dice in the dealer's hand angrily, "Are you cheating?"

"Hmph! Master Lin, if you can't afford to play, then get out. Don't you know that you should accept defeat if you lose?"

Qingqing looked at the other person's ferocious face and pulled Lin Jinhu's sleeve.

"Son-in-law, since the money has been gambled away, shall we go back to Nanhou Mansion?"

Lin Jinhu opened his bloodshot eyes and said, "No! I almost won. If I give up now, won't I never get my money back?"

Qingqing couldn't bear to expose it. Her son-in-law had already lost a lot of money and could not make back his investment. If the young master knew about it, they would be beaten by him. She trembled in fear.

"Sir, please go, please. You have never seen how cruelly the young master's men beat people. The young master will not show mercy."

Lin Jinhu stared at the dice and said, "If you want to leave, go by yourself!"

Qingqing clasped her hands nervously. She looked up at Lin Jinhu and made up her mind to leave, but her wrist was suddenly grabbed by Lin Jinhu.

"Son-in-law, what are you doing?" Qingqing couldn't help but get goosebumps when she saw Lin Jinhu's greedy eyes like a wild wolf.

"Qingqing, your young lady has been beating you all this time, and I have protected you. Now it's time for you to repay me." Lin Jinhu forcibly dragged Qingqing to the backyard of the casino.

Qingqing stuck her feet into the ground. In horror, she saw the mocking faces around her and suddenly recalled the experience of being sold.

"Master, are you crazy? I am a maid in Nanhou Mansion, you can't sell me."

"Who said they were going to sell you?"

Lin Jinhu picked up Qingqing and said, "Go get some money for me and sleep with them for a while. When I win the bet, I will take you back."

Qingqing was horrified, "I don't want it! Please let me go, I will go back to Nanhou Mansion to get the silver for you."

"When you go to Nanhou Mansion, I can gamble a lot. You sleep with them, and the money comes quickly and easily. Isn't that good? Besides, if you go back to Nanhou Mansion and meet Wei Luoyan, we'll both be finished."

After hearing this, Qingqing completely gave up on Lin Jinhu. The young master and the young lady did not treat her as a human being. Even the country boy Lin Jinhu bullied her, and now he gave her to others to play with.

If a man does not serve himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth!
A trace of determination flashed across Qingqing's eyes.

"Son-in-law, I can help you get more money right now than having someone sleep with me!"

Seeing Lin Jinhu stop, she hurriedly promised solemnly, "Everything I said is true! I have been in Nanhou Mansion for many years and know some land deeds and private houses."

Title deed private residence!

Lin Jinhu thought that he could make money by selling these things, so he immediately let Qingqing go.

"Tell me, how did you get it?"

"The son-in-law is the son-in-law of the Nanhou Mansion. Everyone in the capital knows the son-in-law. I happen to be able to imitate the young lady's handwriting and I also know the young lady's dowry. If I pretend to be the young lady and sign the contract with the son-in-law in the casino, can't I continue to gamble?"
