The concubine, a former cannon fodder, becomes pregnant, and the childless prince spoils her rotten.

"I just wanted to invite my sister to my home, why are you being so reluctant?" Lin Shangya wanted to say something, but then she remembered that no one was watching, so she revealed her true nature.

He slung his things over his shoulder and, without a word, began to pull at Lin Zhizhi.

Turning to Cheng Huilan, she said, "Mother, come quickly and take her back to be my cousin's wife. It will make our lives easier there." Seeing that her mother was unmoved, Lin Shangya was anxious. "If my second aunt sees her good looks and is happy, she might buy my brother some writing materials."

Lin Shangya's second aunt's husband made a living by slaughtering pigs, and her second aunt often made tofu and took it to the capital to sell.

Over the years, he had saved up some money and wanted to supply goods to the Prince's Palace.

At that time, Lin Yue and Cheng Huilan were doing very well in the mansion. Out of respect for Lin Feng, Lin Yue was given some leeway in the kitchen's purchasing.

The pork and tofu looked pretty good, and the money the Prince's Mansion was offering was already a bit higher than the retail price.

In addition, there are many people in the household, so there is no major problem in receiving all their goods.

At first, things went smoothly, but Lin Shangya's second aunt was full of tricks, so she sold inferior goods as superior ones, buying some cheap and diseased pork, and even the soybeans used to make tofu were the worst kind.

They sold it to the Prince's mansion at a high price and made a lot of money.

Fortunately, the kitchen's purchasing staff discovered the problem early on and threw away the goods, preventing the people in the household from getting sick.

The purchasing agent bypassed Lin Yue and went directly to Lin Feng, relaying the message verbatim: that they would no longer purchase any goods from Lin Shangya's second aunt's family.

Even when her second aunt offered better items, they refused to accept them, so they had to go out and sell them retail.

They could supply the Prince's Palace, but they only had to make one trip a day. In the capital, they had to pay stall fees to sell goods, and there were many vendors selling pork and tofu, so they couldn't sell much each day.

Not only has their daily income shrunk by one-tenth, but they are also exhausted and suffering terribly.

So he had no choice but to approach Cheng Huilan again, hoping that Lin Yue could put in a good word for him.

They dared not pass off inferior goods as superior ones again, allowing the Prince's Palace to continue purchasing their items.

Lin Yue originally thought that Lin Shangya's second aunt was in the wrong, and that the Wang family was not a fool and should not have done such a thing.

So he didn't want to agree to it, but he couldn't resist Cheng Huilan's pillow talk.

After a few back and forth, she agreed without really understanding what was going on, and Cheng Huilan happily went to tell the news.

Lin Shangya's second aunt and uncle moved all the goods to the Prince's Mansion. The tofu was made from the most expensive soybeans and took a lot of effort to grind. It had a fragrant aroma when you opened it.

The pork was slaughtered early in the morning, and they spent a lot of money on it, all to make amends.

Unexpectedly, Lin Yue failed to persuade the purchasing agent at all. Purchasing was a lucrative job, but seeing that Lin Shangya's second aunt's family did not express any interest, they were so ignorant.

His attitude was much worse than before, and he had already spoken with Raymond Lam beforehand.

Steward Lin would never allow such a cancer to get involved with the Prince's Mansion, although he couldn't say anything to Lin Yue and Cheng Huilan.

However, Lin Shangya's second aunt's family didn't work in the mansion, so even if they were offended, Lin Feng wouldn't say anything to them.

The words then became harsher: "Do you really think you can do whatever you want just because you have some insignificant relative? This is the Prince's mansion, not a place you can climb up to just because you know one or two poor relatives. Don't even mention you, even if Steward Lin wanted to show favoritism, he wouldn't be able to do so here, understand?"

These words created an extremely awkward atmosphere. Not only did Lin Shangya's second aunt's family feel ashamed, but Cheng Huilan also felt embarrassed.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was looking, she pinched Lin Yue hard and asked in a low voice, "How did you do this? Aren't you ashamed?"

She smiled and chatted with the purchasing agent, "Please don't be angry. My relatives are all peasants and don't know any better. It's not easy for them to send this all the way here. Why don't you accept the gifts first, and we'll make sure they treat you well tomorrow?"

"Oh, so you look down on us chores-doing servants, Cheng Huilan and Granny Cheng? You're not a slave, and coincidentally, neither am I. You can't control me, and I can't be bothered with you. Serving the Princess is a serious matter for you, so why are you asking us chores-doing servants for help?"

This sarcastic remark showed absolutely no respect, indicating that they would not accept it under any circumstances.

Cheng Huilan was furious, but she couldn't go and rob him of the money, so she couldn't hold her head up in front of her relatives.

She immediately started arguing with the purchasing agent, yelling, "Who do you think you are, daring to block my way? Let me tell you, if you offend me today, Lin Feng can make you pack your bags and leave tomorrow. Do you think you can stay in the Prince's mansion for long?"

The purchasing agent was truly unthreatened. "This mansion belongs to the prince, not Lin Feng, much less you. I did something wrong, and you think you can just tell me to leave? You should take a look in the mirror and see what you look like."

"What do I look like? I look just like your mother!" Cheng Huilan said, hands on her hips, looking completely unreasonable. She wasn't afraid of anyone when it came to insulting her.

The purchasing agent angrily picked up a broom as if to hit someone, but Cheng Huilan just stood there and said, "Go ahead and hit me, I don't believe you dare to lay a hand on me."

She kept glancing at her husband, only to find that Lin Yue's thin frame had already moved far away, afraid of being caught in the crossfire.

When Lin Feng arrived, he saw Cheng Huilan dodge the broom attack as if her feet were greased, shouting as she ran, "Everyone, come quick! Murder! Murder in the Prince's mansion! How dare she!"

The purchasing agent was so angry that he was blowing his beard and glaring, panting heavily.

Seeing Lin Feng approach, he didn't give him a friendly look and immediately threw down the broom, saying, "Butler Lin, this is your good brother and sister-in-law!"

Lin Feng was a reasonable person, and said at this moment, "Just send them away, why are you so angry?"

The purchasing agent snorted and turned to leave, leaving Lin Feng to handle the problem.

They thought Lin Feng would be easier to talk to, but he simply ordered the guards to throw the people and goods out.

"If you don't want the people of the capital to know that you sell diseased pork and make tofu from rotten beans, then don't come here again."

If word gets out, they'll be out of business selling things in the capital.

Lin Shangya's second aunt's family then harbored resentment towards Lin Feng.

Later, when selling things in the capital, they shortchanged customers, and over time, they couldn't make ends meet. Lin Shangya's second aunt's husband had to continue working as a butcher's assistant, so that her second aunt could sell pork and tofu.

Her second aunt saw that her goods were not selling, while the surrounding stalls were making more money than hers.

They would deliberately cause trouble, saying that the meat at this store was no good, or that the tofu at that store was not fresh.

At first, no one bothered with her, since no one would believe what she said. But as time went on, it became like a toad that doesn't bite, which was really unsettling.

The surrounding stalls stopped indulging her and squeezed her out of business.

Because she had a mentally challenged son, the money her husband earned from slaughtering pigs was simply not enough to live on, so she had no choice but to borrow money from Cheng Huilan.

As for Cheng Huilan, if you need to ask her for a favor and you don't need to rely on her connections, then naturally you have no complaints.

But you can't borrow money from her; she'll hurl all sorts of nasty insults at you. They're cousins, and she doesn't hold back when she curses at you.
