Lin Yuhong didn't stay for long and after lunch, he excused himself saying that there were many things to attend to at home and he needed to go back to help his younger sister-in-law.

  The old lady thought that if she said it was unsafe outside and asked her to come back early, she could take the opportunity to keep her for two more days, which would also allow the grandmother and grandson to cultivate their feelings.

  But Lin Yuhong said that there were many things to attend to in the mansion and she couldn't keep people from leaving.

  The Lin family had only two women, and Lin Qingyuan was still young, so Yu Bin couldn't help but lend a hand.

  The old lady sighed and could only think that there was still a long way to go, then let Shang Mingjie send his cousin back.

  "Deliver it to another hospital and come back, bring a few more people on the way, don't let the refugees rush you and your sister."

  Shang Mingjie responded and went off to prepare with a spring in his step.

  Lin Yuhbin had wanted to refuse, but seeing that Shang Mingjie had already run off, he could only shake his head and follow.

  Now no refugees dare to crash into the Lin family's carriage, and the battle at the Lin family's villa showed off the power of the Lin family. Someone also remembered the achievements of Lin Li and Lin Yun, who dares to provoke?

  Especially that night, more than a hundred refugees who retreated halfway, still think about it now and feel chilled. Whoever thinks that more than 400 fellow travelers died that night can't help but feel a chill in their heart.

  It's not exactly revenge, because the Lin family is actually one of the most friendly families in Suzhou towards refugees.

  Now the rice they eat and the quilts they cover themselves with are all donated by the Lin family. Even their ability to settle down in this city so quickly is because the head of the Lin clan persuaded other big families to accept them.

  In this case, the refugees were both fearful and respectful of the Lin family, and also grateful. They would bow from a distance when they saw a carriage with the Lin family crest, then quickly retreat, not daring to approach easily, let alone cause trouble.

  Lin Yuhong lifted the curtain and saw refugees begging on the side of the road, who caught sight of her carriage from afar and avoided it by hiding at the entrance of an alley. They bowed to her and watched as her carriage passed before coming out of the alley again.

  She put down the curtain, thinking of their tattered clothes was somewhat unbearable, but more deeply realized what Xiaojie had said "Lin's family wants to stand in a chaotic world, must have both power and virtue, lacking one is not allowed."

  Power commands respect, but moral integrity inspires reverence.

  But now the Lin family is obviously morally prepared, but their strength seems to be somewhat weak in follow-up.

  Lin Yuhbin was worried, while Shang Mingjie, who was riding a horse, was shocked.

  Since returning to the mansion from Lin's family villa, he had never come out again and naturally didn't know what was happening outside. At this time, seeing everyone showing respect and fear towards the Lin family, he couldn't help but feel curious.

  He pricked up his ears to listen to the whispers of the people on both sides, and only then did he realize that in just a few short days, Lin's aunt had once again won over the hearts of the people.

  He couldn't help but think that Lin's aunt was only one year older than him, and she could be the head of a family while he didn't even know where his own future path lay.

  Shang Mingjie followed the motorcade in a daze to the Lin family's villa.

  He jumped off his horse and walked silently to the front of the carriage, reaching out to help Lin Yubin down.

  Miss Ying Xian got off the car first, opened the door with her hand and turned around to help down Eldest Miss. Alas, Second Master was completely unaware of the impact, he's so big now but still acting like a child.

  Shang Mingjie didn't get angry either. He turned around and looked at Xi Yan, who immediately took down a package from the horse and handed it to him.

  Shang Mingjie then handed the package to Yingyan and said to Lin Yuhong: "Sister, this is some of my savings. I know that there are many injured people in your household now, and medicine is expensive... I don't have any medicine to give you, so take this money first and use it. When Brother and Sister-in-law come back, I'll ask them for more to give to you."

  Lin Yuhbin asked in surprise, "Does Big Brother owe you money?"

  "No," Shang Mingjie shook his head and said: "But big brother has told me, if I'm short of money, just go find him to ask for it. Anyway, it's all from the public funds, don't worry."

  Lin Yuhbin twitched the corner of his mouth, picked up the package and stuffed it into his arms, saying: "Do you think I'm someone who's short on money? You keep this little bit of money for yourself."

  Shang Mingjie hesitated and clutched his package, "This is also a token of my sincerity, so please accept it, cousin."

  Isn't it true that your uncle donated all of his property?

  Shang Mingjie thought that even if the Lin family wasn't short of money now, they definitely wouldn't have a lot of it either. He could scrape together a bit was a bit.

  "Be careful, your aunt might find out and beat you," Lin Yuhong said with a deep meaning: "Today is the anniversary of my mother's death, but you helped your aunt's family instead of your uncle's family, which is unfair."

  Shang Mingjie's face turned red as he directly stuffed the package into her arms, "Take it."

  He turned around and jumped onto his horse to leave, he no longer dares to say that he can fully be his own master, but he will try hard.

  Lin Yuhong held her bundle and watched him ride away, feeling a little sad.

  "Big sister?" Yingyan looked at her with some concern.

  Lin Yuhbin came back to his senses, "Hmm" and turned around to enter the door.

  "Miss, your bundle is heavy, let me carry it for you."

  Lin Yuhu didn't seem to hear and instead asked: "Where's Auntie?"

  "Miss, you are still discussing things with the clan's elder, sir."

  Lin Yuhu turned around and went back to his own yard, "Then I won't go disturb Auntie for now."

  She opened Shang Mingjie's package and found a small box inside without a lock.

  She opened it directly and found that there were three gold ingots, eight silver ingots, and countless gold and silver coins inside, apparently accumulated for a long time.

  Lin Yuhbin had lived with him for several years and knew that he was extravagant, whenever he received his monthly salary or a reward, he would hand it over to Shi Mo.

  He usually only looks at the quality when buying things and doesn't care about the price. Most of them are billed to Shangfu's account, which will be settled by Shangfu, but there are also many that he has to pay for himself.

  For example, when giving gifts to his sisters, he never used any money from the mansion.

  It can be imagined how difficult it was for him to save this money.

  I'm afraid this money is all his savings.

  Lin Yuhbin smiled wryly, he was indeed sincere, but had forgotten that the New Year was approaching and would inevitably have to go out drinking with old classmates and friends, at which time he wouldn't be able to avoid spending money.

  She used to think that sincerity was hard to come by, but now she thinks it's also very annoying.

  Lin Yuhbin looked at the things in the box and pursed his lips, forcing back the tears in his eyes.

  Yingyan and Bihong couldn't help but exchange a glance, wanting to persuade her, but knowing that at this moment the eldest miss would definitely not want them to see her, they could only lower their heads and retreat.

  "Yingyan pulled Bi Rong and asked in a low voice, 'What are Auntie and Clan Elder saying?'"

  "I don't know, but it seems that only Lin and Zhong were left in the main courtyard, even White Mei and White Feng sisters were sent out, it's a big deal."

  Yingyan looked back at the house with a worried expression and sighed: "Then let's wait some more."

  Bi Rong bit her lip and asked, "You said the eldest miss is unwell, isn't it a good thing that Second Master treats our Lin family with such kindness?"

  "What's the use of Master Guang's concern?" Yingyan nodded slightly towards the outside and said, "It's also necessary for the Shang family to be concerned."

  Judging from Zhang Shang's performance over this period of time, the marriage between the two families is quite mysterious.

  "Where can I find another Second Master like him who is so considerate?" Bi Rong said anxiously: "In this world, men having three wives and four concubines are secondary, what's scary is when they don't respect their legitimate wife, and encounter those who favor concubines over their wife..."

  "Pfft pfft pfft, our family's young lady is so unlucky." But Yingyan was also very worried, her eyebrows were furrowed together.

  It's all because of the chaotic state of this world, if it were a peaceful and prosperous era, even if Da Sao couldn't marry Er Ye, she could still choose a family with an average background, with the Lin family to rely on, at least they wouldn't dare bully Da Sao.

  But this is a chaotic world, and when families are busy with their own affairs, those from ordinary backgrounds may either be unable to protect their elder sisters or, after rising to prominence, turn around and bully them. Haven't they heard of such things before?

  Two young girls sighed, both worried about their master's troubles.

  Lin Qingyan was discussing important matters with Lin Ruo and others in the Zhengyuan Hall.

  In front of them, on the table were placed four boxes, each containing a bundle of paper. Lin Run touched the clean and soft bamboo paper, admiring it endlessly. "Moisture-resistant and ink-preserving, smooth and even, indeed a top-grade paper. Wanyue, have you really thought this through?"

  Lin Qingwan smiled and said: "Such a big business I alone can't swallow, if I don't cooperate with my clan, would I go find outsiders?"

  Lin Run sighed, put down the paper and bowed to her, "It's Fifth Brother being narrow-minded, Sister Wan, you can rest assured, on this matter, I'll listen to you, don't worry about the clan side."

  Lin Qingyan nodded, "Then I'll trouble Fifth Brother."

  The bamboo paper was made yesterday, and Lin Qingyan had thought about how she would use it a long time ago.

  Before the riot, she thought that her family could manage on its own, but after the riot, she was willing to broaden her horizons and look further ahead.

  Lin Run arrived just in time that day. Although there were many dissatisfactions from the clan during this period, her proposal was adopted by all.

  If she alone held the bamboo paper, it was a big wave in Jianghu, then Lin's family holding the bamboo paper was a big wave in the ocean. As for her, what was most important was actually the grass paper placed next to the bamboo paper.

  That's a tsunami.

  However, it is clear that no one takes it seriously at this time, including Lin Run.

  Lin Qingwan nodded towards the grass paper on the table: "Fifth brother, I can't give you the secret formula for bamboo paper, but grass paper is no problem. Moreover, I will have the craftsmen personally teach our clan members how to make paper."

  "Make paper?"

  "Yes," Lin Qingyan said, "Didn't I ask you to make a list of those willing to help the refugees earlier? Go notify those clansmen and tell them what I said - if any of their family members want to learn paper-making, they can come find me at the other courtyard."

  "How can this be," Lin Run said, though he didn't care about the rough draft, but also knew how hard it was to get a secret formula, "with so many people learning from you, can you still keep the formula safe?"

  "I didn't plan on keeping it anyway, but if we can temporarily limit the scope of the secret recipe within our clan, that's even better," Lin Qingyan smiled and said: "At least let our clan take the lead."

  Lin Run's eyes widened in surprise, "How could you, are you still thinking of spreading this secret formula?"

  "Good things should be shared with the world."

  Fart, then why don't you spread out the secret formula of bamboo paper?
