"Very good. Since you are talking like that, there is nothing to say. You want to leave the Lin family, right? Who is there? Raise your hands and let me see." Lin Jue said coldly.
"Just lift it, the slave family wants to leave."
"I have to go too, who wants to wait here to die?"
"And I."
The four women raised their hands nonchalantly, their palms shaking like white bean sprouts, with a hint of provocation. The other two women who were making trouble were smarter, and they smelled a hint of danger.
, so I didn’t raise my hand.
"Very good, you four are leaving, right? I agree." Lin Jue nodded.
As soon as these words came out, the two women who didn't raise their hands immediately regretted it. They didn't expect this to be the result. They agreed and agreed. Now they were dumb and were wronged by their cleverness.
"It's not sweet to force yourself. If you don't want to stay in my Lin family anymore, my Lin family doesn't care about you either. We can give you a letter of divorce and let you go out. But before you leave, let's settle the score first."
Lin Jue said.
"Settlement?" several women asked in shock.
"Exactly." Lin Jue stretched out his hand and pointed at Qi Yiniang who was standing in front of him: "How long have you been following my second uncle?"
Qi Yiniang puffed up her chest and said, "It's been two years and three months. Why? Why do you ask these questions?"
Lin Jue said: "Okay, the time is neither long nor short. Two years and three months, that is more than 800 days, right? You live in our Lin family's big house, eat three meals a day from our Lin family, and wear
These are also the clothes of our Lin family. Don’t we need to spend money on these? If you say this is a transaction, then we will settle the accounts. If you live in such a house, the monthly rent should be at least 500 taels. For two years and three months, that’s it.
There are twenty-seven months in total. Let me give you a discount, twenty-five months, five hundred taels per month, that is twelve thousand five hundred taels. Three meals a day, one tael per meal.
Three taels of silver a day, that’s 2,400 taels. Clothes, jewelry, traveling expenses, etc., if you count one hundred taels a month, that’s 2,700 taels. Added together, you have been in our Lin family for two years.
A total of eighteen thousand taels of silver was consumed in three months and three months."
Everyone listened blankly as Lin Jue calculated the accounts, their minds were confused and they didn't know what he meant.
"How much money does it cost you to receive guests in a brothel? To be honest, I have seen a lot of pretty people like you. I often go to brothels and brothels, so I know the prices. How much money does it cost?
Lin Jue said.
Although Qi Yiniang didn't understand what Lin Jue meant, she was still very stubborn. She gritted her teeth and said, "How about fifteen taels of hair wrapped around your head? I was the number one in Linshui Pavilion back then."
Lin Jue smiled and continued to ask: "Okay, if you count your fifteen taels, how many times has my second uncle asked you to serve him in the past two years? To put it simply, how many times have I had sex with you?"
"..."
Everyone stared at Lin Jue stupidly. This person was probably crazy for asking such a question.
"Come on, I'm asking you something. Since it's a business, didn't you keep an account? How many times have you served my second uncle?" Lin Jue didn't care and asked in a cold voice.
"Bah, who remembers these? It's really pointless. Do you still have any rules? You are still a scholar and the number one scholar." Qi Yiniang said angrily.
"You don't need to worry about who I am. Well, since you don't keep accounts, I'll just count it as three hundred times. I serve you once every three days. That's about right. But in fact, my second uncle is both a man who has finished his fifties.
It may not happen once in ten days. Let me let you take advantage of it, three hundred times, according to your price, fifteen taels once. The total is 4,500 taels of silver. You spent 18,000 taels on our Lin family.
Two, minus the 4,500 taels of silver you earned yourself, that’s 13,500 taels. Come on, I, the Lin family, are kinder, so I’ll give you a small change. You owe our Lin family 13,000 taels of silver.
. I ask Er Niang to write you a letter of divorce, and you return the thirteen thousand taels of silver to us. We will hand over the silver in one hand and the letter of divorce in the other. After that, you can go your own way and have nothing to do with my Lin family anymore." Lin
Jue said with a sneer.
"What?" Everyone was dumbfounded and made a fuss for a long time. This person was trying to settle the score. He actually wanted Qi Yiniang to give him money before he left?
Qi Yiniang trembled with anger and shouted loudly: "How can you settle accounts like this? You have to pay for food and accommodation, how can it be unreasonable? The rent is five hundred taels a month, do you think I live in your entire house alone?"
"
Lin Jue shouted: "That doesn't matter, anyway, you live in this big house. The rent of this big house is five hundred taels a month, which is cheap for you. If you live in it, you can pay it."
"You're a bastard. If you calculate it this way, how much do my two years of great youth count for?"
"Your two years? It's not two years for others? My second uncle is over fifty years old, and his time is more precious. Are you as valuable as my second uncle's time?" Lin Jue sneered.
"You...you are such a scoundrel. Do these things count as money? When your second uncle marries me, don't you need to provide me with food and drink? Do these things count between husband and wife? It's really a joke." Qi Yiniang said angrily.
"You yourself said this is a transaction, why are you talking about a husband and wife? Husbands and wives should be in the same boat, and when disaster strikes, you have to run away, so what qualifications do you have to talk about a husband and wife? Since it is a transaction, let's settle it one by one.
It’s clear, after everything is settled, it’s a good deal and no one owes anything to anyone. This is a fair deal. Don’t say anything more. Just hand over the thirteen thousand taels of silver and then you leave. You have nothing to do with my Lin family anymore.
Lin Jue said coldly.
"I...where do I have so much money? You are deliberately making things difficult." Qi Yin's nose was so angry that her nose was crooked.
Lin Jue shouted sternly: "Who has time to make things difficult for you people? Do you think my Lin family has no family rules? Our Lin family's ancestral heritage has been passed down for hundreds of years. We are a big family with strict family traditions and the respect of the world. No one dares to follow the family rules and training.
Violation. No matter what you did before, when you enter my Lin family, you must abide by the rules and mottos of my Lin family. Not to mention that you are a womanly family. If your husband is in trouble, you should do your best to help and support him. Even if you can't find a way to save him,
But you can't break the rules by making noise at home. Could it be that you think my Lin family is an inn, where you come as you come and go as you go? There are no rules, let alone the relationship between husband and wife. If your second uncle is not here, no one will treat you.
?”
All the women looked at me and I looked at you without saying anything, but Qi Yiniang was arrogant and shouted to herself: "You are a three-bedroom concubine. According to the rules of the Lin family, you are still our junior, why do you say these things?
It’s not your turn to talk here.”
Lin Jue sneered and stretched out his hand. A purple ring on his thumb shone brightly. It was the symbol of the family head.
"Ah? What's going on? Could it be that..." Everyone was stunned.
"Although I am not the head of the family, the head of the family gave me the ring finger to take care of the family affairs. Do you think I am qualified? I only ask you, will you give me thirteen thousand taels of silver?" Lin Jue said coldly.
"Where do I have so much money? That's all, I won't leave. I'll go back to my room and join the Lin family in misfortune." Qi Yiniang waved her sleeves and left. She knew that she would encounter a tough situation today.
"Wait a minute, are you going to stay if you say you want to? My Lin family may not keep you. Do you think my Lin family can keep any shit or horse dung? Pay the money, take the divorce letter and get out." Lin Jue shouted.
"I...I...where did I get the money? Aren't you bullying others?" Qi Yiniang shouted.
"Don't you have any money? Okay. Come here and ask her to write down an IOU. Tomorrow, she will empty the toilet bucket, carry manure, water the garden, sweep the yard, and do chores to pay off the debt. When the account of the thirteen thousand taels of silver is paid off, it will be fine.
Leave freely." Lin Jue shouted sharply.
Qi Yi Niang's legs gave way and she fell to the ground, wailing loudly. She had thirteen thousand taels of silver, and she earned three taels of silver a month by doing chores. It would take years and years to pay off the debt. Wouldn't she be ruined here for the rest of her life? Besides, I would have to pay for it.
I only know that people come to open my legs and mouth, and I have always lived by serving men. How can I do those jobs myself? Isn’t this life-threatening?
"Master Lin Jue, please spare me, I know I was wrong. Spare me, I don't dare to do it anymore." Qi Yiniang turned over and knelt down, bowing her arms repeatedly.
Lin Jue looked gloomy and shouted: "It's too late to beg for mercy now. Someone come and give her a sign."
Next to her, the housekeeper of the Lin Mansion had written an IOU, and grabbed Qi Yiniang's hand to put her fingerprints on it. On the IOU, it was written that she owed thirteen thousand taels of silver and had to work as a handyman to pay off the debt. After writing the note, Yuan made the final decision and wrote the divorce note.
She threw the divorce letter at Qi Yiniang's face. Qi Yi Niang held the divorce letter in her hand and was about to cry without tears. She had made a fuss for a long time. Although she got the divorce letter, she would suffer the most for the rest of her life.
"Take her to the garden and let her sleep in the firewood shed tonight. All the things in her house will be emptied out and brought over." Yuan suddenly regained her mistresslike spirit and gave the order. Several women were half dragging and half dragging her.
Pulled Qi Yiniang down.
The other three women were already breaking out in cold sweats. They saw Qi Yiniang's fate. They never expected it to be like this. They were shocked and frightened. These women usually walked sideways in the back house, relying on their strength.
Lin Bonian's indulgence and arrogance were extremely high. The eldest lady was no longer in their eyes, and the little brat Lin Sheng was played in their hands. Even Lin Sheng ran away like a dog. Today they encountered such a situation.
A young man with a third wife is completely unreasonable. What kind of account is that? It is obviously an overlord's account.
Lin Jue's gaze shot over, like a sharp blade. When Lin Jue's gaze swept over the three women, all three of them felt the sting as if they had been stung by a wasp.
"It's your turn, let's settle the score. How many years have you been in my Lin family?" Lin Jue stared at Madam Six.
Madam Six felt cold, and the debt was borne by herself. Xiaoqi had only been here for more than two years, and already owed thirteen thousand taels. She had been here for more than five years, and the rent alone cost more than thirty thousand taels.
.I sold all my jewelry and took out all my savings, which is only five or six thousand taels. How can I pay it back?
"Have mercy on me, please have mercy on me. I know I was wrong. Master Lin Jue, I know I was wrong. I don't dare to do it anymore. Please have mercy, please have mercy." Six Yiniang turned over and knelt down, kowtowing, begging repeatedly.
"Have mercy, have mercy. We were wrong and we don't dare to do it anymore. We were confused for a moment and failed the master. For the sake of our many years of serving the master in the Lin family, please spare us." The other two women who raised their hands also saw the opportunity.
Kneel down and beg for mercy.
The two women who had not raised their hands just now were secretly proud of themselves as if they had eaten honey. Fortunately, they were smart, otherwise they would have to kneel down and beg for mercy like them.
Lin Jue actually didn't want to go too far. Although these women were really hateful, they were Lin Bonian's side wives after all. Qi Yiniang was too arrogant, and Lin Jue had to kill chickens and scare monkeys. This was the effect Lin Jue had.
Jue did not intend to punish these women. His purpose was to ensure that the people in Lin Bonian's house were stable and that no chaos or extraneous problems could arise.
"Since you guys know your mistake, let's forget about it." Lin Jue said.
"Thank you so much, thank you so much." The three women were ecstatic.
"But the Lin family rules cannot be violated. According to the Lin family rules and mottos, if a woman is unworthy and immoral, she will be punished by the family law. Each woman will be flogged a hundred times as a lesson. This is already extremely tolerant.
." Lin Jue shouted.
"Ah?" The women cried and collapsed on the ground.
