At the beginning, Uncle Lin had thought that Li Yu would take the initiative to admit his wrongs to Eldest Miss, but it was obvious that he was overthinking it.
As Lin Chuyue listened to Uncle Lin speak, she finally recalled the reason behind the expression in the depths of Li Yu's eyes that day.
"No wonder that guy acted like a mouse seeing a cat the moment he saw me!"
He had done something wrong!
"Liu Er probably doesn't know about this!"
"How would I dare let Liu Er know? If Liu Er knew, she would definitely be very excited."
The position of the kitchen in her heart was exactly the same as Kun Peng's. If she had known that Li Yu had almost burnt the entire kitchen, she would have fought with everything she had against Li Yu.
Helplessly sighing, Lin Chuyue realised that the people around him were all eccentric.
"Uncle Lin, is the little fellow asleep?"
"Un, I fell asleep, but I just woke up. Old Brother Gao stood guard at the door and insisted on hugging me, causing the woman to have no other choice but to let Old Lord Gao and the little fellows stay together."
Uncle Lin smiled, "Eldest Miss, you've suffered a lot recently."
"It's alright, you're the one who's working hard, I'll have to trouble Uncle Lin for the next few days. Big Brother is currently guarding Li Niang in the ward, I'm afraid she will have to wait another two to three days before she can take over the Night City."
In the past few days, aside from the Old Lord Gao, Uncle Lin had not been idle either.
"No worries, it should be an honor for us old bones to be able to share the worries of Eldest Miss." That's right, young miss. "
Uncle Lin always thought of the reason why he was looking for Lin Chuyue, "Eldest Miss, when I was looking through the accounts, I found two strange accounts. After hearing that you have returned, I wanted to let you see them."
"Abnormal accounts?"
"Yes, these two accounts are very large, but one of them was accumulated in batches, as if someone was intentionally giving money to them."
Uncle Lin's words caused Lin Chuyue to frown. Ever since the formation of the Night City, every single account had been calculated to be reasonable, but Uncle Lin said that there was something abnormal, and there must be something strange going on. "Wait for me to make some food, then we'll go to the study. Uncle Lin, you should go to sleep."
"Alright, then I'll be troubling Eldest Miss."
Uncle Lin left the kitchen. Lin Chuyue did the same as she thought about the abnormal accounts that Uncle Lin mentioned.
"Gu Ying, Hong Ying, when you guys are hungry, eat first. Don't wait for me, I will go to the sickroom first and then the study room. After eating, go to the study room."
With that said, Lin Chuyue brought a bowl of noodles and left the kitchen and sent it to the sickroom.
After chatting with Lin Kaixiao for a while, Lin Chuyue went to the study room.
The light of the Night Pearl caused the entire study room to be as bright as day. Sitting on the chair, Lin Chuyue looked at the place where Uncle Lin had circled the two abnormal accounts in red ink and started to frown.
The numbers on this account book were huge. One was a collection account, and the other was an enormous sum that would be transferred into the account almost every once in a while.
Although the form was different, it was roughly the same. These two accounts were obviously meant to send money into her hands.
He didn't understand, even Lin Chuyue couldn't figure out where all this money came from.
On the surface, this amount of money was earned from spending on casinos and other entertainment facilities. However, this kind of money was shockingly extravagant. Even a rich person would not have such a way to lose money.
It was impossible for the Old Lord Gao, but other than the Old Lord Gao, she couldn't think of anyone else to give her money.
After staying in the study for an entire night, he fell asleep on the bed in the outer room.
When Lin Chuyue opened his eyes, the sunlight shining through the cracks of the window shone into his eyes.
Reaching out her hand to block the dazzling sunlight, Lin Chuyue sat up and stretched her body.
"My wife! My wife!"
At this time, Li Yu, who had just pushed open the door, ran in. A pair of purple eyes were filled with excitement, and his clothes were filthy to the extreme, as if he had just crawled out of a quagmire.
"Damn it, don't come over here!"
Lin Chuyue's entire body was covered in mud, and had even dirtied the floor of the study. She hurriedly picked up the book by her side and threw it at Li Yu, "Go away, what have you been doing?"
"Hehe, my wife Yu has found something good."
Li Yu looked around and realised that he was too excited, he ran into the study covered in mud. Luckily Feng Yan was not there, otherwise his fate would have been kicked out on time.
After taking a detour, Li Yu left the study and went around the small garden to Lin Chuyue's window. He extended a handful of soil in his hands out and said, "My wife, look, Yu has found a good item."
"Hand full of mud?"
Frowning, Lin Chuyue dodged backwards, but seeing the thing under the pile of mud in Li Yu's hands, she raised her eyebrows.
How could there be pearls in the mud? It's not a pearl, it's a Eastsea Orb!
Although a black pearl that was wrapped in mud was as dirty as Li Yu, it could not hide the brilliance emitted by the black pearl.
"Where did you find it?"
Lin Chuyue did not mind the dirt, she directly grabbed the Eastsea Orb out of the mud and wiped it clean with her clothes.
The black pearl emitted a strange light under the sunlight, and there seemed to be stars revolving within the pearl.
It really is a Eastsea Orb!
Looking at the Eastsea Orb in her hand, Lin Chuyue could not believe her eyes.
She had only seen the Eastsea Orb once, and it was when she was still a Queen of Yan Kingdom. When she was coming to visit and congratulate Yuwen Jing on her wedding, she had seen this pearl on the oaths of a Pyncheon woman.
Legend has it that the Eastsea Orb was a mermaid's tears. In the distant East China Sea, there was a kind of mermaid, a half human half fish mermaid.
Their lives were long, and when their mate died, the tears of the merfolk dripped into the sea. The merfolk's tears will turn into Eastsea Orb and fall into the sea.
Of course, a legend was still a legend, but this legend was filled with the mysteries of a Eastsea Orb.
In the market, a Eastsea Orb was simply a priceless treasure. There was once a Sovereign King who used two cities to exchange a single Eastsea Orb for his concubine with a smile, but to no avail.
It could be seen how valuable Eastsea Orb were.
"Li Yu, where did you find this pearl?"
"Hehe, my wife praises Yu first, then Yu will tell you."
Li Yu had an expression that I knew you would like, as he arrogantly raised his head, and waited for Lin Chuyue's praise.
"Li Yu is the most handsome, quickly tell me where this bead came from."
Being stepped on by Lin Chuyue, Li Yu laughed even more complacently, "Of course, Yu is even more handsome than Feng Yan!" Li Yu rubbed his muddy hands on his body, "When I went to play with Little Bean today, I saw something flashing by the side of the dike. I jumped into the river to look for it, but in the end, I found this."
"Beneath the dam?"
"Yeah, Yu took a look, there seems to be quite a few of these beads. I saw that the bead was pretty, so I brought it back to give to my wife. "
Li Yu's words almost made Lin Chuyue fall off her bed, "What did you say?
