Chapter 89 -89: Signing the Agreement (1)_1
“Since you covet our tofu recipe, why didn’t you dare to negotiate directly with our Lin Family, but instead let two women threaten us? Now that you see I have found a backup, you even desire to silence us by murder. Are there any laws left in the eyes of the Si Family?” Lin Ziyin struck first.
“Those two women are his people?” Lin Changshu opened his eyes wide in surprise.
“What women?” Si Jinhan asked, frowning. He stared at Lin Changshu and Lin Ziyin. All he saw was surprise on one face and disdain on the other, while Wu Dayou standing beside them wore an angry face.
The expressions of the three of them did not seem to be feigned, and his heart suddenly sank.
In fact, he hadn’t been in Feng City for the past two days and wasn’t clear about what had happened in the Lin Family. All he knew was that as of this morning, the Lin Family was planning to cooperate with the Prince, which immediately reminded him of how Lin Ziyin had saved himself last time.
How could a country bumpkin appear in front of them again and again? Si Jinhan’s first thought was that the Lin Family was hiding something.
“Did you not dare to admit what you did?” Seeing his confusion, Lin Ziyin immediately pressed on.
She knew very well that the two women who had harassed her had nothing to do with Si Jinhan, but in order to dispel Si Jinhan’s suspicion, she felt she had to give him a reason, or rather, a way out.

“What women? Don’t you dare frame me.” Si Jinhan’s gloomy voice resonated loudly across the open field.
“No? If not, I can hardly figure out why you wanted to kill us midway. Isn’t it all because you are coveting our family’s recipe?” Lin Ziyin wouldn’t let go of this excuse.
“That trivial thing, this young master wouldn’t even bother to glance at. However, you guys, why are you approaching the Prince?” Si Jinhan came back to his senses, his eyes seeming colder as he looked at Lin Ziyin. Just now, he was nearly led astray by this cunning woman. It was the first time anyone had managed to sway his thoughts.
“When did we ever intend to get close to the Prince? We haven’t even seen what the Prince looks like.” Lin Ziyin protested, “If you hadn’t sent people to threaten us for the recipe, we wouldn’t have willingly given away our silver. By the way, those two women did mention the Si Family’s name. You can’t deny it.”
“Younger sister, I remember. Yesterday those two women did indeed mention the Si Family.” Lin Changshu confirmed. At this moment, he and Wu Dayou were both extremely anxious, fearing that Si Jinhan might lose control and hurt Lin Ziyin.
“We just wanted to find a backer in Ding’an Temple. As for the Prince, we’re merely taking advantage because he happened to be there to bear witness.” Lin Ziyin continued, “If it weren’t for the threat from the two women yesterday, I would rather make money quietly on my own.”
What a money-grubber! Hearing Lin Ziyin’s incessant talk about silver and profit, Si Jinhan glanced at her with disgust.
Lin Ziyin seemed to be getting more agitated the more she spoke, her face contorted in righteous indignation. She noted Si Jinhan’s disdain for her. Truth be told, if the circumstances were different, she would relish the opportunity to glare daggers at Si Jinhan.
This man in front of her was the epitome of a narcissistic and paranoid individual. Despite her being an innocent civilian, in his eyes she seemed to have sinister intentions.
“You are sure you just want to seek the protection of the Prince?” Si Jinhan asked darkly, deciding to carry out a thorough investigation after returning to see if the women mentioned by the Lin siblings indeed existed.
If anyone dares to cause trouble under the banner of the Si family, he, Si Jinhan, would be the first to not let them off the hook.
“I suppose so, I would rather have Ding’an Temple as my backer. As for the Prince, we’ll just have a contract ceremony today, and from then on, we won’t have any chances to meet him. What ill intentions could we possibly have towards him? If Master Si is not at ease, you are free to come and watch.” Lin Ziyin finished all in one breath.
