Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Chapter 1102 The Murderer in the Dark 13
Since she couldn't find out who in the mansion hated the original body, Linlang started to suspect that someone outside the mansion might have killed the original body.

If the person who killed the original body was someone outside the mansion, Linlang would be puzzled. Who would hate the original body so much that they wanted to kill her?

After all, most of the people in the mansion have conflicts of interest with the original body. Even if they have no hatred, they still have the motive to harm the original body. But as for people outside the mansion, they should have no conflicts of interest with the original body, so why would they want to harm the original body?

If the original person has no hatred towards the other person, then he is most likely a mentally ill person, the kind of person who will hold a grudge against someone if they just look at him for a second longer.

If it is such a person, then check who has died in Beijing over the years and who these people have had connections with.

Because Linlang didn't believe that such a vengeful person would only kill the original body. There must be others who he disliked and would also kill them.

Thinking of this, Linlang adjusted the direction of the investigation and began to investigate those who had died inexplicably in Beijing in recent years to see who these people had connected with.

Just as she was thinking about it, someone from the jewelry shop came in and asked Linlang to pick out some accessories for herself and her children.

Jewelry is valuable, so the people in the jewelry room are naturally the Crown Prince’s Consort’s confidants.

Since she is the confidant of the Crown Prince's Consort, Linlang naturally cannot neglect her, lest she offend her and lose her good treatment. Although if the Crown Prince's Consort treats her like she did to Concubine Song before, she still has plenty of ways to deal with her - it's too easy, she just needs to use the dream props to make Prince Qingjiang decide which concubine in the mansion is better and make her the successor, then the Crown Prince's Consort's right to be the housekeeper can be lost again. But Linlang doesn't want to go through all this, plus the Crown Prince's Consort is treating her well now, there is no need for her to go against her, so naturally she won't neglect the Crown Prince's Consort's people.

However, when I was an unnamed concubine, I only had one set of jewelry a year, and one set of clothes for each season. I had to buy the rest myself.

And the quality is not as good as the selected ones.

Now that Linlang has been selected as a concubine, she receives two sets of jewelry a year, and two sets of clothes for each season, and the quality is much better than that of concubines without a title.

In addition, the monthly salary was five taels and the annual allowance was sixty taels, totaling one hundred and twenty taels, which was two and a half times the monthly salary plus annual allowance of forty-eight taels when she was a concubine.

With so much money, if clothes or jewelry are not to her liking and she wants to buy new ones, she has the money to do so, unlike when she was a concubine without a legitimate status and was financially tight.

As for the original body's son, all the young masters in the palace received the same treatment: four sets of ornaments every year, four sets of clothes for each season, two taels of monthly allowance, and an annual bonus of twenty-four taels at the end of the year, totaling forty-eight taels - the annual allowance in this palace is generally about the same as the amount of monthly allowance for a year.

Now, the combined income of her and her children totals one hundred and sixty-eight taels a year. This number is a very auspicious sign, and it means prosperity all the way.

The original body had received her set of jewelry in the spring before, but because Linlang has been promoted to a selected concubine, she has two sets of jewelry a year, so she can also receive a set of jewelry in the fall. This is why the other party came to find Linlang now.

In addition to the set of jewelry for myself, there is also a set of accessories for my children.

In fact, the children's accessories should all be distributed in the spring, after all, accessories don't need to be divided by season, but when Concubine Song was there, in order to take out money for lending, she distributed them separately, just like clothes, once a season. Of course, the Crown Princess has now naturally inherited Concubine Song's "perfect system" and also distributes jewelry once a season.

Most of the ornaments for children are longevity locks, bracelets with bells, etc. This time, the Crown Prince's wife gave down bracelets, of various styles, all of which looked very exquisite.

But Linlang used the therapeutic device to scan and found out the composition of each bracelet - most of the bracelets inlaid with beautiful gems or jade are inferior goods, and the gems or jade inlaid on them are of very ordinary quality, and because they take up space, the weight of the gold is reduced.

Obviously the cost of pure gold is higher, so it is inlaid with all these messy things. This has been the same since ancient times. After all, gold has a price but jade is priceless. This jade is priceless, which means that jade is very expensive, but it can also be fooled.

After looking through them, Linlang chose a pair of pure gold bracelets without gemstones.

The jewelry she chose for herself was also pure gold jewelry without any craftsmanship.

These are all made of pure gold. When you need them someday, you can just melt them and use them as gold. It is very convenient.

However, people at that time might not be able to realize these differences, so when they saw Linlang chose the plain red gold ornaments, the people in the jewelry shop were surprised and said, "Your Majesty, don't you choose the beautiful ones?"

Linlang smiled and said, "I am not favored, so those pretty ones should be given to favored sisters."

The person in the jewelry store heard this and asked hesitantly, "Does the queen really want to choose this way?"

Then he whispered to Linlang, "We followed the orders of the Crown Prince's Consort and sent jewelry to the concubines. We came to you first and let you choose. Then we let others choose."

After hearing her say that, Linlang was sure to accept the money. She asked Dongcao to take a bunch of money to the jewelry store owner and said, "Thank you for the care of the Crown Princess. Please tell her that I accept her favor. But I really don't need a pretty one. This is enough."

The person in the jewelry shop couldn't help but feel happy when she got a string of money. After all, this string of money had two hundred coins, which was one tenth of her monthly income, quite a lot. At the moment, she really didn't care about Linlang. It would be better if she didn't choose the beautiful ones. She took the jewelry box and left.

When she returned, she naturally spoke well of Linlang in front of the Crown Prince's wife, saying that Linlang was an honest person and only picked the most ordinary ones. She also thanked the Queen very much for her care - since she had received a bunch of money from Linlang, she naturally had to brag about Linlang, after all, the other selected concubines did not give her any money for running errands.

After hearing what the people in the jewelry room said, the Crown Prince's wife naturally had a better impression of Linlang. From then on, whenever there were good things in the mansion, the Crown Prince's wife would always think of Linlang and give her a share.

Those concubines in the mansion who have sons will all be her brothers in the future. Although they are all brothers, there are also some rules. If the relationship is good, she can slip them some benefits through her fingers. If the relationship is not good, when the father-in-law dies, these people will be separated from the mansion and will have nothing to do with them anymore.

People in ancient times had many children and brothers, so when there were too many brothers, they were worthless. Unlike modern people, there may be only one or two brothers and sisters, so the relationship between them is much closer. Some people have too few relatives and only cousins ​​are close to each other.

It's no wonder that the Crown Prince's wife said that, because even though the Prince is a distant relative and doesn't get much care from the palace, it's still much better than the title that Linlang's son will be granted in the future. At least the salary given by the clan government is much higher.
