Lin Xixue reorganized the logic of the entire incident to Cheng Yanqi, trying to make her believe in herself with pure logic.
After all, she didn't believe that a thoughtful person like Cheng Yanqi had never doubted Yanyou's true purpose of collecting military intelligence.
Moreover, if Cheng Yanqi didn't believe in herself at all, she could just kick her out. There was no need to waste any more words with her.
Therefore, in fact, before she said these words, Cheng Yanqi had already doubted Yanyou. All she needed was more convincing words.
As expected, after hearing what she said, Cheng Yanqi fell into thinking for a long time, and after a while, she sighed quietly.
"I had thought before that maybe such a day would really come, but I never thought that this day would come so quickly."
She laughed at herself twice, shook her head, and said, "Even so, there is no way I can fall out with Yanyou."
"You are worried that after falling out with him, the girls in the study apartment will be forced to submit." Lin Xixue expressed her guess.
"Yes, but that's just one of the problems."
"What kind of difficulty does the museum owner have? You might as well say it clearly. Maybe I can be of some help?"
"Help? After all, Shuyu has asked people to track you, and you are still working for Yanyou now. Why would you help an enemy?" Cheng Yanqi frowned slightly, as if she didn't understand Lin Xixue's intention.
"No reason, just because we are all women, I can understand Shuyu's difficulties. It is nothing more than self-protection in troubled times, and it is nothing more than a last resort."
Hearing Lin Xixue's words, Cheng Yanqi's eyes suddenly flashed with gleaming light. She didn't know whether it was the light caused by excitement or the tears she felt.
Seeing this, Lin Xixue smiled and continued to explain: "Just like, you understand why I sneaked into this place to investigate, and I also understand why you want to work for the banquet."
"So, if I solve your difficulties, you will naturally have no reason to sacrifice your life for Yanyou. Then we can turn enemies into friends."
"You" Cheng Yanqi suddenly choked up. As the owner of the library, she has the hopes of countless people, and is also responsible for the fate of many girls. However, few people can really understand her on weekdays.
Hearing Lin Xixue's words at this moment, she suddenly felt extremely moved. She never thought that these words would actually come from the mouth of a person who was still an enemy at this stage.
She sniffed and smiled bitterly: "It's easier said than done to solve the problem?"
"Just think about it, the girls in this study will one day grow old, and then they will no longer be able to receive guests."
"But they dedicated all their beautiful life to the study apartment, and I can't abandon them, so I still let them be nannies in the study apartment, taking care of the girls' daily life."
"But here's the problem. The number of girls is roughly the same, but the number of nannies is increasing. And as people get older, they are prone to all kinds of diseases, and the cost of diagnosis and treatment is getting higher and higher."
"Gradually, the study apartment has been unable to make ends meet, and it can barely survive only with the support of Young Master Yan."
"In the end, I really had no other choice, so I came up with the annual Boat Poetry Festival and the Lantern Festival as a gimmick to make money myself."
"So, there is no way to solve this problem at all." Cheng Yanqi could only smile bitterly.
After listening to this, Lin Xixue instantly understood the problem with Shuyu. This is a typical phenomenon where careers are too short, resulting in the inability to maintain the internal welfare system of the organization.
After all, the age at which girls can receive guests is naturally from their teens to their early twenties.
"So, owner, your biggest difficulty is the lack of money?" Lin Xixue's mouth corners couldn't help but rise.
"Oh, I made Miss Lin laugh." Cheng Yanqi thought Lin Xixue was laughing at her, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
Lin Xixue apologized quickly: "It's not the owner of Xiaocheng Hall, but this matter may be solved very well."
As she spoke, she shook her sleeves, and a large piece of gold fell to the ground with a clang and rolled a few times.
When Cheng Yanqi saw the gold, she shook her head and said, "I accept Miss Lin's kindness. Although this gold is valuable, it can only cover the living expenses of the study apartment for one month. I still..."
Before she could finish her words, she saw gold nuggets falling like rain from Linxi's snow sleeves. In just a few breaths, they formed a hill half a person high, causing the stone slabs under her feet to collapse.
"Miss Lin, are these real gold?" Cheng Yanqi couldn't believe her eyes for a moment. She picked up a few pieces of gold and weighed them in her hands.
Then she burst into ecstasy and murmured: "With this gold, Mother Wu's foot pain may be cured, and Mother Zhang's broken arm may be repaired with money."
As she spoke, she actually started to cry, and while crying, she said: "But...even if you are rich, if you don't have the support of banquets and travels, the girls will be in misery."
"The dignitaries in Jingyun City have been coveting the girls in the study for more than a day or two."
"I can't help it, I really can't help it"
"Master Cheng, I have an idea about this. Why don't you listen to it?" Lin Xixue said calmly.
"Miss Lin, please speak!"
"Presumably Master Cheng has no longer doubted that Yanyou will get rid of you sooner or later. Now even if you try to flatter him, you will not be able to change your final fate."
"When the study apartment completely loses its use value, the girls will be banqueted and sent directly to the mansions of these powerful people and become playthings."
"Since the city is like this, we might as well use the gold to hoard enough supplies and quietly transfer the supplies to other places. Then everyone will evacuate out of the city in batches and escape directly."
"At this time, we already have sufficient material reserves. We can take this opportunity to cultivate ourselves and build a pure land of our own."
Cheng Yanqi pursed her lips, as if she was seriously considering the feasibility of this plan.
"Ms. Lin's plan can be said to be a plan to remove the firepower from under the cauldron, but I'm worried that the girls will have to work hard and be tired. Besides, the location is remote, and I'm afraid I won't be able to find a decent doctor for diagnosis and treatment, in case there are some
Headache and brain fever”
"Mr. Cheng's worries are not unreasonable, but sometimes you still need to give the girls a little more confidence. If you protect them too well, you won't be able to take charge of them alone in the end."
"Besides, I think there are a lot of mechanism techniques in this secret passage. If you can use this mechanism technique to make agricultural machinery, please wait a moment, Master Cheng!"
Before Lin Xixue could finish her words, she suddenly stopped what she was going to say because she felt a rather rapid rhythm coming from her little finger. This was the first time that Bai Qing took the initiative to contact her through the string.
Bai Qing: The situation has changed. The entire sect of Tingxue Tower has been sealed by Xuan Bing!
Lin Xixue: Why is this happening? Are you and Xiao Xu safe now?
Bai Qing: I don't know. It's hard to imagine that the entire Tingxue Tower can be frozen in one go. I'm going to try to see if I can dig open the library and find the Snow Soul Pill recipe.
Lin Xixue: The appearance of this black ice is quite strange. It’s better not to break it open easily.
In ancient times, there was a person who lay on the ice looking for carps, but now there is a Qing who digs through the ice in search of elixirs (to escape)
