Chapter 686 A Step-by-Step Thrill 58

Sure enough, two more baskets of fresh, juicy fruits and vegetables, emitting an enticing aroma, were delivered to the door.

As soon as Yinzhen stepped into the house, his eyes were immediately drawn to the two particularly eye-catching baskets. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and say, "Wow, Fourth Brother has had another bumper harvest! I never expected that Fourth Brother is so good at everything from farming. Even if things don't work out in the future, you can still support your family by farming!"

Before he could finish speaking, Yinzhen seemed to have already envisioned an amusing scene—Yinzhen, his face covered in dust and looking disheveled, stood at the edge of a field, one hand frantically digging a hole, the other busy planting tender green seedlings into the soil…

Thinking of this, Yinzhen couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

Seeing this, Lin Jiu rolled her eyes helplessly. She thought to herself, "It's a good thing the person in question isn't here right now, otherwise if he heard him making such a fuss, he would definitely get a lecture."

Lin Jiu recently discovered that the Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, had a peculiar hobby: once he started talking, he would go on and on like a flood, unable to stop.

As for why their family grew closer and closer to the Fourth Prince, it wasn't entirely without warning.

Since giving Honghui that life-saving pill, the relationship between the two families, which was originally somewhat distant, has gradually become much more harmonious.

Furthermore, the frequent interactions and pleasant relationship between the brothers Honghui and Hongxuan further strengthened the bond between the two families.

Yinzhen touched his nose, then walked over to Lin Jiu, who was sitting at the table, and picked up the exquisite teacup next to Lin Jiu, tilting his head back to drink it all in one gulp.

After doing all this, he forcibly suppressed the anger that had not yet completely dissipated in his body and gently tapped the table with his right index finger.

Seeing this, Lin Jiu naturally wouldn't remain indifferent. Her beautiful eyes flickered, and her gaze quickly fell on Yin Tang. Then, with a face full of curiosity, she asked, "Why are you so angry today?"

Faced with Lin Jiu's question, Yin Tang was truly conflicted, after all, this matter was too shameful—the dignified master of the royal palace was actually being completely fooled by his servants!

However, Lin Jiu had no intention of giving up at this moment. The corners of her mouth turned up slightly, forming a smile that was not quite a smile. Her big, watery eyes were like two sharp arrows, staring straight at Yin Tang, as if trying to see through his handsome face to his true thoughts.

Feeling uneasy and terrified by his gaze, Yinzhen finally gave in, sighing helplessly, "It's all because of those good-for-nothings who dared to embezzle from me! Even after I exposed them, these ignorant fools still dared to try and deceive me!"

After hearing what Yinzhen said, Lin Jiu was slightly stunned at first, but quickly recovered and sat back down in her chair.

I thought it was something serious, but it's just this... that's all!

It's not surprising that Lin Jiu was so calm, because she had already discovered this when she checked the accounts after marrying into the family: one egg cost three coins!

How absurd it sounds! Three coins of silver are enough for an ordinary family of several to live comfortably for a month, but in the prince's mansion, an egg costs three coins!

Lin Jiu was so angry she laughed. She didn't do anything; she simply ordered someone to compile a list of market prices and had Yu Ling deliver it directly to the servant in charge of purchasing. After that, things returned to normal.

She was able to handle the matter, but she didn't tell Yinzhen, because at that time Yinzhen was still fixated on the Eighth Prince's shabby ship and wouldn't get off, so Yinzhen was completely unaware of this.
