"What are you looking at? What's with that expression?" Lin Shiyin glared at her. "Go and draft the contract. Li Garden will be mine from now on, so you don't end up wasting your money and want to give it away."

Li Jinwen gave a wry smile, instantly understanding Lin Shiyin's good intentions, and sighed, "I'll have the clerk come over right away."

A short while later, the clerk came over and was taken aback when he heard Li Jinwen say that he wanted to draft a contract to give Li Garden to Lin Shiyin.

"Young Master, this won't do!"

Lin Shiyin said, "Your young master wants to give Li Garden to that Long Xiaoyun. I just need to strike first. Old Chen, would you rather let Li Garden fall into the hands of outsiders, or hand it over to me first?"

Old Chen, the clerk, looked at Li Jinwen and, seeing that he did not refute, immediately understood.

"Yes, Miss, I will draft the documents immediately."

Without the slightest hesitation, Old Chen quickly drew up the document.

Lin Shiyin and Li Jinwen signed and sealed the contract, and it was thus finalized.

Lin Shiyin said to Li Jinwen, "Li Garden will still be Li Garden, and you can continue to live here, but you will no longer have the right to dispose of it."

"Okay!" At this moment, Li Jinwen felt a sense of relief and a smile appeared on his face.

Lin Shiyin took the contract and left, returning to the secluded water pavilion, with no intention of leaving again.

She sent a message to the group chat.

Lin Shiyin: Grandma, I've already taken Li Yuan to prevent my cousin from squandering it. I can't go to Lingjiu Palace now, I'm sorry. @Wu Xingyun

Inside the Lingjiu Palace, Tianshan Tonglao was taken aback. She hadn't expected Lin Shiyin to act so decisively, and couldn't help but admire her.

Wu Xingyun: Very good, that's how it should be. I'll let your Granny Yu stay there to help you, and you can have them come back when you no longer need them.

Lin Shiyin: Okay, thank you, Grandma!

At this moment, Lin Zhu was about to arrive in Suzhou. Upon seeing this news, he couldn't help but feel delighted.

Lin Zhu: Well done. It would be best to get rid of that Long Xiaoyun.

Lin Shiyin: I want to too, but he is my cousin's savior after all, even though it's annoying.

Ning Zhongze: It's really not good to kick someone out, unless your cousin isn't at Li Garden. @Lin Shiyin

Lin Zhu: I have an idea. Isn't your cousin a third-ranked scholar? Let him become an official, experience the treacherous nature of officialdom, and teach him a lesson.

Liu Ruoxin: I feel offended.

Sheng Yayu: I feel the same way.

Shangguan Haitang: Me too.

Lian Ni Chang: None of the officials are good people. @Lin Zhu, you gave me a terrible idea.

Liu Ruoxin: You female bandit, you have no right to speak.

Lian Ni Chang: I rob the rich to help the poor and act on behalf of Heaven.

Liu Ruoxin: Bah! A bandit is a bandit. If you really want to rob the rich to help the poor, then give all the stolen money to the poor and don't keep it for yourself! What are you pretending for? You're just robbing others to help your own poverty. You make it sound nice, but you're actually murdering people for money.

Lian Ni Chang: You sharp-tongued bastard, I can't argue with you.

Liu Ruoxin: Hehe, you're not wrong, you're not saying you can't argue with me.

Lian Ni Chang: Don't let me run into you, or I'll knock out your teeth and pull out your tongue.

Shangguan Haitang: I think we could take a trip to Mingyue Gorge when we have some free time. What do you guys think? @Liu Ruoxin @Sheng Yayu

Liu Ruoxin: I think it's okay.

Sheng Yayu: I will bring Zhui Ming and the others with me.

Shangguan Haitang: I also have a knife that can help.

Liu Ruoxin: Yu Huatian, the chief of the West Depot, is most skilled at suppressing bandits.

On the banks of the Bright Moon Gorge, Lian Ni Chang looked at the news and was so depressed that she almost vomited blood, instantly becoming withdrawn.

If the Four Great Constables, the Four Great Secret Agents, and Yu Huatian from the Western Depot were to come to Mingyue Gorge to suppress the bandits, she wouldn't be able to withstand it.

So she fell silent and decided she had to move.

Chapter 86 Liu Ruoxin: My Western Factory Needs Talents Like This

Lian Ni Chang stopped talking, and the group chat quieted down before the conversation continued.

Lin Shiyin: My cousin had been an official, but he disliked the backstabbing and intrigue of officialdom, so he decisively resigned.

Lin Zhu: Then force him to do it. Didn't he try to trick you into giving up to Long Xiaoyun before? Why not give him a taste of his own medicine and make him take the official position? Since he thinks the officialdom is corrupt, then he should stay there. As the saying goes, "Though in darkness, one's heart yearns for the light." Tell him that.

Yanfei: What a fine example of being in darkness but yearning for the light! I think you'd be suited to be an official too. @Linzhu

Lin Zhu: I haven't done anything wrong, why should I be an official? I don't want to, I have no obligation to do so.

Yanfei: You said those words: "Though in darkness, one's heart yearns for the light."

Lin Zhu: But I am already in the light, why should I step into the darkness?

Yanfei: But Xiao Li Tan Hua is also in the light, why should he step into the darkness?

Lin Zhu: That guy has a masochistic personality. He'll do it if you force him. I don't have that.

Wu Xingyun: What is a masochistic personality?

Lin Zhu: It's a kind of illness where you feel comfortable by abusing and sacrificing yourself. It's a mental illness, and Xiao Li Tan Hua is the kind that's beyond saving.

Lin Shiyin: Is it really incurable?

After hearing that it was an illness, she became worried and couldn't let it go.

Lin Zhu: Letting him be an official should be fine. This kind of person can't stand seeing the people suffer, and he's very likely to be a good official who can bring benefits to the region. However, his personality and martial arts skills are more suited to the Ministry of Justice, the Dragon Guard Manor, or the Divine Marquis's Mansion. Keeping him busy should be much better.

Shangguan Haitang: On behalf of the Dragon Guard Manor, I welcome Young Master Li.

Sheng Yayu: You are welcome to come to my Divine Marquis's Mansion. Uncle, you will be absolutely welcome.

Liu Ruoxin: Is my West Factory not good enough? My West Factory also needs talents like Xiao Li Tan Hua.

Lin Shiyin: I don't want my cousin to have no descendants. @Liu Ruoxin

Lian Ni Chang: Hahaha, that's hilarious! You actually sent Little Li, the strategist, to your Western Depot? What a vicious woman! @Liu Ruoxin

Liu Ruoxin: Not everyone in my Western Depot is a eunuch! @Lian Nishang, you just wait.

Lian Ni Chang: Fine, I'll wait. Are you afraid of me?

She has already decided to move; she can't stay in Mingyue Gorge anymore, so what is there to be afraid of?

Lin Zhu: The West Depot is too gloomy and dark. It's really not suitable for Little Li Tan Hua. It wouldn't sound good if word got out!

Shangguan Haitang: I think Lin Zhu is right.

Sheng Yayu: I think so too.

Liu Ruoxin: Yes, the West Depot has a bad reputation, is that enough?

Although it was true, she still felt a little bad, so she decisively logged off and prepared to find a scapegoat. Zhu Yipin would be a good choice.

Then, Zhu Yipin suffered the consequences.

Zhu Yipin's inner thoughts: No, why is everyone bullying me?

Shangguan Haitang felt that Li Jinwen was a talented person and should not be let go, so she sent another message.

Shangguan Haitang: @Lin Shiyin, could you ask around for me? My Dragon Guard Manor doesn't have that much infighting, it's just a bit busy.

Sheng Yayu: My Divine Marquis's Mansion is also one of them.

Lin Shiyin: Let me ask.

Yanfei: If Li Tanhua truly wishes to become an official, it would be a blessing for the court. @Lin Shiyin, you should try to persuade him.

Lin Shiyin: Okay!

After the chat ended, Lin Zhu and his group arrived in Suzhou.

After entering the city, everyone naturally headed to the Yuelai Inn.

After Zhang San Niang left the Zhang residence, she also lived here.

Lin Zhu: @Zhang San Niang, we've arrived at the main courtyard of Yue Lai Inn.

Having this chat group is so convenient.

Zhang San Niang: Coming, coming.

Wang Yuyan: Wait for me, I'm leaving now and will arrive before dusk.

After more than a month of cultivation, with the guidance of Wu Yazi and his occasional help to open her meridians, Wang Yuyan's strength improved rapidly. She connected the two bridges of heaven and earth in a short period of time and reached the innate realm.

Walking on water for short distances is fine, but over a longer period of time, it becomes difficult to sustain one's inner energy.

They still need someone to take care of them.

Lin Zhu's group met offline.

When Zhang San Niang met Huang Rong, she felt that Huang Rong was a formidable rival no less than Wang Yu Yan.

Huang Rong was very enthusiastic towards Zhang San Niang, saying, "Can I call you Sister Yu too? You're so beautiful!"

Zhang San Niang instantly realized that Huang Rong was unaware that Lin Zhu was a man; otherwise, she would have been wary of her. With that in mind, she breathed a sigh of relief.

I am in the shadows, the enemy is in the light; the advantage is mine.

As for Zhu Qiqi, there's no need to worry about her; she's already married.

"Of course, Rong'er, little sister." As long as there was no major threat, Zhang San Niang also liked this cute and beautiful little sister very much, but she was still wary and decided to go to the capital with them.

He then greeted Zhu Qiqi, saying, "Greetings, Sister Qiqi."

"My sister is so beautiful." Zhu Qiqi held Zhang Sanniang's hand, her eyes full of admiration.

Shen Lang and the other two watched from a distance.

Panda retorted to Wang Lianhua, "Old Wang, who do you think is the most beautiful among the four of them?"

“Of course it’s Brother Lin,” Wang Lianhua said.

Panda: "Why do you think this Brother Lin likes to dress as a man so much? It's such a pity."
