Chapter 188 Ambition (3)_1
Hei Yi, one of the king’s men, visiting Lin Family is no longer a secret. When the villagers saw Hei Yi delivering so many gifts to the Lin family, they were extremely envious. Unfortunately, Lin Ziyin was a very difficult person. She hardly interacted with the villagers and even when she did, she was always indifferent yet polite.
Some might consider her aloof, but she had helped the villagers greatly. Because of her efforts in developing the wasteland, many villagers had enjoyed an increase in their daily income. In the long run, they might even depend on her due to the vast land she controlled. Notably, she had intentionally provided jobs for Xia Shuanzhu’s widow and Fang Cao’s family. In comparison, she seemed much more compassionate and considerate than some villagers
In the end, it was the villagers who were to blame. They didn’t help when the Lin Family was in despair. Even as they gritted their teeth in envy, none dared to voice complaints against the Lin Family.
"Aunt, who were those people in the caravan?" Yan Yun and Yan Liu, who had just arrived at the Ma Family, asked curiously, their eyes fixed on the direction of the Lin family.
"Those were the king’s guards, who manage a vast estate." Although filled with envy, Yan Family had to be patient. They abided by Ma Zhicai’s advice that haste wouldn’t provide any benefits. With their nieces now living in their household, eating without contributing anything, they were left helpless and heartbroken. After all, they were relying on the nieces to establish a connection with the Lin Family, hoping for Lin Zige, that golden egg, to eventually join their family.
"The young lady from the Lin Family has connections with the king?" Yan Yun asked in surprise.
"Well, she is just lucky. She saved a servant from the king’s palace and has good relations with Ding’an Temple." Speaking about this, Yan was filled with jealousy. She was envious of Lin Ziyin’s luck which always led her to fortunate encounters.
Now, with the matter of the estates, the relationship between Lin Family and the king was expected to improve even further.
