Lin Qing stood dazed at the corner of the bed, watching as the maid came in and out to help her sister Wen with her breathing, administering medicine, and calling for the doctor...

  Just a moment ago, she was chatting with her happily, but without any warning, she suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and then collapsed as if the life had been sucked out of her.

  The people in Chunhui Garden had obviously become accustomed to it, and as soon as they sensed the commotion in the house, they rushed in immediately and started rescue efforts in an orderly manner.

  Dr. Xu, who was called back, also had a calm expression and skillfully gave Wan Jie a few injections before saying: "Miss shouldnt overexert herself, you all pay attention to her for the next few days and let her rest more."

  He just received Lin Jiangs highest instructions and must try his best to let Wan Jie live a little longer.

  Wan Jies personal maids Li Chun and Li Xia have returned to her side, after listening seriously to Doctor Xus instructions they promised to keep a close eye on the young lady.

  Lin Qingwan looked at the weak but determined eyes of her sister, carefully avoiding Dr. Xu, and leaned in to say: "Dont worry, Ill make sure your brother speeds up, so you can marry him alive!"

  Wans eyes revealed a relieved and satisfied expression as she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

  Xu Daifu suddenly got goosebumps, feeling a chill run up his spine from the base of his neck. He carefully turned his head to look at the empty space on his right side, then turned back to ask Li Xia and Li Chun on his left, "Did you see that? Just now, the young lady seemed to smile at me."

  Li Xia glared at him, "What are you talking about, Doctor Xue? Miss is clearly looking at you."

  Xu Daifu grew even colder and stuttered: "Y-you, are you sure Miss is looking at me?"

  "Of course!"

  Although Li Chun hesitated for a moment, there were only the three of them in front of the bed. Just now, the young lady had indeed looked at Dr. Xu more often, so she nodded and said: "It should be looking at you."

  On Xu Daifus right side, Lin Qingyu quietly looked at him for a while, stretched out her hand in front of his eyes and beckoned to him, confirmed that he couldnt see her, let out a sigh of relief, turned around and walked out of the house.

  But standing in the courtyard, she suddenly didnt know where to go. Hmm, did they come from the left or the right just now?

  Lin Qingwan stood in the courtyard, lost in thought for a while. Seeing that neither Lin Jiang nor Bai Weng came to greet her, she could only silently lift her feet and walk out of the courtyard. With her eyes closed, she hesitated for a moment before turning around and randomly choosing a path to follow.

  Lin Qingwan got a bit lost, but she went into every courtyard she came across, remembering the direction she came from before entering, and if she couldnt find Lin Jiang, she would come out again and continue walking forward. When she encountered high walls, she would turn around. In less than an hour, she had made a round of the entire Lin Manor, and naturally, she also found Lin Jiangs study. Incidentally, she also gathered some gossip from the servants at Lin Manor.

  It wasnt until an hour later that she finally found Lin Jiang in the study of the front yard. Lin Qingwan sat down on a chair, letting out a long sigh, even though her soul didnt get tired from walking, but she still felt exhausted.

  However, Ah Piao seems to be in the best state for gathering information, so she replied to Lin Jiangdaos question about how to settle her: "Lord Lin, I think its okay to float temporarily. If there are no aftereffects of being a living soul, then Ill just float like this for now."

  "There will be no aftereffects, Miss Lin. You can rest assured that I reinforce your soul every day. Later, Ill use the Nurturing Spirit Wood to carve a spell array for you to carry with you. Not only wont you feel weak, but your soul will also become even stronger."

  He didnt want to find a temporary body for Lin Qingwan again, that would be too troublesome. Borrowing a corpse to return the soul was also very costly in terms of materials and spiritual power.

  Lin Jiang felt guilty, after all, it was he who hadnt thought things through. He had been drifting as a soul for three days and it was truly unbearable in every way. Lin Qingyan estimated that she would have to drift like this for another ten days, just thinking about it made him feel sorry for her.

  Moreover, the state of the soul also has a lot of trouble. People have some habits, such as eating, sleeping, bathing, etc., but the soul does not need these things. However, who can endure ten days without eating, sleeping, or bathing will feel uncomfortable.

  People cant touch real objects will always make people feel a sense of insecurity. However, Lin Jiang didnt say much because now except for waiting there is no better way.

  Having reached a consensus, Lin Jiang beckoned to her and said: "Lin girl, although I still have half a years time, the Lin familys affairs are complicated, and Im afraid you cant take over for the time being, so we should start preparing from now on."

  Lin Jiang had only recently learned that his lifespan was not long, and he was counting down the days almost every day. With only six months and eight days left before his death, he needed to speed up the time for Lin Qingwan to understand Daliang and the Lin family.

  Lin Jiang picked up a stack of account books from beside the desk, which was as high as half a person, and placed them on the desk, reaching directly under Lin Jiangs chin.

  "These are all important industries of the Lin family, although they dont need you to manage them personally, you still have to understand a thing or two."

  Lin Qingwan stared blankly at those account books, and indeed, doing business that could exchange for life was not that easy.

  Lin Qingwen stood in front of the table looking at this tall account book and asked: "After you die, can my daughter and I inherit these properties?"

  In ancient China, there were many restrictions on the inheritance of property by women who remained in their rooms. Some could only inherit part of the property, while the rest would be confiscated by the state treasury. Others had to pay a huge amount of taxes.

  Moreover, even if a daughter inherits property, it is difficult to take away all the property when she gets married, as the clan will block her to prevent the loss of patrilineal property.

  The imperial court would also tend towards the powerful clans, she had never seen the laws of Daliang and did not know about the inheritance system in this regard, nor was she familiar with the worldly affairs here.

  Lin Jiang listened to her question and felt that he had found the right person. He sighed, "Thats why I asked you. I agreed to let Wan Jie marry Xie Yimeng also for another personal reason."

  Lin Jiang took over the "Da Liang Lvling" and said in a low voice: "I dont have a son, nor do I intend to adopt one, so our Lin family is considered extinct. Its not difficult for you to inherit the property, although youll have to pay a considerable amount of tax. However, it will be hard to take it away after inheriting, as the clan wont agree."

  This was also one of the "futures" he saw in the Celestial Mirror, "I still have a branch of relatives within the fifth degree of mourning attire, and by our generation its exactly the fifth degree, but by Yubins generation it will be out of the five degrees...

  "But Im still alive, and they, as the closest relatives of the Lin family, have the right to take over the patrilineal property after the daughter gets married, and even have the right to propose adopting a son from their branch. And if I die, they will be able to find an excuse to snatch away the management rights of the property from Lin Yuhuans hands." Lin Qingwen is doing historical research, this kind of thing is not uncommon in history.

  At this time, the power of the clan was still very strong, at least they could decide on a successor for their relatives who had no children.

  Now they dont mention it. One is that Lin Jiangs power is great, and he himself has no idea of inheritance; secondly, they do not know about Lin Jiangs physical condition.

  Moreover, apart from the internal conflicts within the clan, external threats will not be scarce either. After all, the Lin familys vast business empire is now in the hands of an eleven-year-old girl, which is no different from a child holding gold and walking through the market.

  "Yes!" Lin Jiang thought of what he had seen in the Peeping Mirror, and he closed his eyes to suppress his emotions. "Gold and silver are external things, my original intention was to let Yu Bin have a peaceful life, if giving up property could make her live well, I wouldnt mind. So after seeing that situation in the Peeping Mirror, I wrote a memorial, wanting to divide the property into two parts, one part given to the clan and one part handed over to the court, leaving only some collectibles, a few fields, shops, and her mothers dowry as dowry for Yu Bin. I hoped that the court and the clan would take care of Yu Bin because of this money... but..."

  Lin Jiang clenched his fists and said, "However, the result deduced by the Celestial Mirror after I made these arrangements is still not good. Although the process is different, Yu Bin still died young, and neither the clan nor the imperial court was able to protect her. Even within the clan and the royal family, there are many people who suspect that I secretly left a large sum of money for Yu Bin..."

  Even if they thought it was impossible in their hearts, they still held onto the idea of "what if" and forced Yuhin.

  Thinking of her young daughter being surrounded by wolves, everyone wanting to take a bite out of her flesh, but she couldnt give them what they wanted, so she could only leave behind one life.

  He made many arrangements based on the process he inferred from the telescope, but no matter how he avoided it, he couldnt avoid his daughters fate, as if she was born to suffer. No matter how much he arranged, she would eventually be torn apart and swallowed by the tigers and wolves around her.

  The process is different, but the result will always be the same.

  If it werent for Bai Weng calculating that his daughters reincarnation was in Lin Qingyuans body, he wouldnt have traversed through time and space to find her in a different world.

  Bai Weng said that Lin Shi was calculated by the upper realm, or perhaps it was because of his own fault. Originally, Lin Shis ending was destined to be doomed, but with the Great Way being fifty and the Heavenly Evolution being forty-nine, there is always a variable that even gods cannot calculate.

  And his sister and Lin Qingyan were the key to this opportunity. Indeed, he found her just before Lin Qingyans sudden death and made a deal with her.

  She came to help him take care of his daughter and manage the household. After the task was accomplished, he prolonged her life and dispelled her grandfathers illness.

  "The girl is now my daughters only hope, so Ill leave these properties to you to handle. Whether to keep or discard them is up to your word." Lin Jiang gazed at her intently, and from the divination of the "future" in the crystal ball, he saw that the Lin familys business would be a death sentence for his daughter, while the enemies accumulated by the Lin family before would be the ones pushing her hand.

  But these properties, whether he kept, gave away, threw away or destroyed, ultimately could not avoid his daughters tragic fate due to the Lin family business.

  And as for those who are enemies or ungrateful relatives, has he never thought of dragging them to death with him before his own demise?

  However, he was just a governor of Yangzhou, how could he achieve this? Even if he did, apart from them, there would always be others who would emerge one after another.

  This is probably the consequence of Lins family being cursed by Bai Weng.

  Lin Jiang was deep in thought, but Lin Qingwan felt as if a huge mountain had suddenly crushed her back. So much wealth and she had to make the decisions? She felt like her souls palms were sweating.

  "Miss, dont hesitate. Old Bai said I have a heart ten times bigger, but perhaps its not even comparable to your unintentional moment, because you are the source of life. So go ahead and make the decision. As long as my daughter is safe and sound, thats all I need."

  So you dont have to worry about property and things like that at all.

  Lin Qingwan thinks this is a real rich man, a bear who dares to throw away his entire family business!

  "Ill go," Lin Qing said with difficulty: "But I think I need to understand the situation of the beam first."

  She cant just make a decision with her eyes closed, although she roughly understood the general idea of the beam from Wenyu earlier, but that was too superficial, they havent discussed it in depth yet.

  Lin Jiang thought for a moment and said: "Then follow me these few days, if theres anything you dont understand, just ask me, Ill tell you everything."

  Tomorrow he will go to Xies house and also to the government office, where he will come into contact with people from various families and officials of all levels. There is no better teaching method than letting her see it for herself; at that time, he can explain some things to her again.
