Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

With more benefits, the Prince's Mansion will have more wealth, which will allow Linlang and the children to receive more wealth. When they leave the mansion in the future, their lives will be better.

It's all interconnected; if she and her child don't get more assets, she won't help with this.

She and her child would definitely receive more wealth. Not to mention that Princess An of the manor was very fair in her dealings, and would definitely give herself what others had. Even when Prince An gave rewards to his concubines, Linlang would try her best to make him do the same, so that she would have what others had.

Princess An might act this way, but Prince An might not. After all, some people like it and some don't, so it's impossible for them to reward each other the same. However, Linlang has the Dream Props. As long as she can make Prince An feel that Linlang serves him well through the Dream Props, he can usually reward her.

Linlang wouldn't try to grab the most rewards to avoid being targeted and ending up with nothing to spend. But she also wouldn't leave empty-handed, since that would mean all the chances of using the Dream Props would be wasted. So, while she wouldn't expect rewards every time she had sex, Linlang would occasionally ask Prince An for something whenever she had a spare moment. She usually wanted things made of pure gold.

To the other people in the mansion, such things were not considered pretty and they wouldn't be jealous, but to her, these pure gold jewelry pieces could be melted down into gold at any time, making them extremely practical.

She doesn't need to be pretty, she just needs to be practical.

She had already planned all of this after entering the manor, so by the time Prince An established his heir and she gave birth, she had already accumulated a considerable amount of wealth for her child, far more than most of the concubines.

The reason is simple: the infighting in the manor was fierce before, and many people who had acquired money had spent it all on fighting. After all, when fighting, whether it was sending people to do things or asking people to inquire about information, it all cost money. She, on the other hand, saved all that money.

Therefore, among the concubines who had children, Linlang had the most money, while the others, in their struggles, did not save much money.

Of course, because Linlang was low-key, these people naturally didn't know how much money she had saved. They just assumed that Linlang didn't have much, since she wasn't a concubine but just a secondary concubine. Everyone knew how much her annual allowance was. Besides, Linlang often went out to buy food, so how much money could she save?

What they didn't know was that after Linlang got money, she bought houses and shops in the capital. She had no choice; if she wanted to buy land, it was too far away and Linlang wouldn't be able to manage it, so she bought houses and shops instead.

Linlang had her little bees go around asking for news, finding out where people were eager to sell houses and shops at cheap prices, and as soon as she had money, she would go and buy them.

This world was considered economically developed in ancient times, with prosperous markets and no official ban on commerce or curfews. As commercial activities flourished, most people could easily make money. Since everyone was making money, the housing prices in the capital naturally soared. Buying and renting out properties was very profitable, since there were no banks in ancient times and no way to earn interest on deposits. The only way to generate income was to buy houses and shops. Otherwise, keeping all the money at home without it generating income would be a waste.

Besides, even if you rent it out, Beijing's housing prices have been rising year after year, so you won't lose out if you buy it.

Linlang, who loves making money wherever she goes so she can live a good life, will naturally not give up any opportunity to make money.

Fortunately, after she married into the Prince's mansion, Prince An gave her her indenture, so she was free and could buy houses and shops.

Because Linlang would buy any cheap houses and shops she saw and had the money, she accumulated a lot of wealth that other concubines didn't know about. Only her closest confidants knew this, since Linlang rarely went out and had her confidants handle the property deeds for her. This allowed her confidants to know that Linlang had bought many houses and shops.

When Linlang was selected as a concubine, two of her servants were bribed by Consort Wang's men. After those two were beaten to death for poisoning their mistress, Princess An sent Linlang a new servant.

There were even more people serving the concubines. Linlang observed them for a long time and chose the more reliable ones. She then entrusted the matter of obtaining the house deed to them.

In fact, Linlang had already planned that if none of them were reliable, she would send a robot to apply for the job.

However, robots that are constantly walking around outside will inevitably consume energy, so Linlang will not use them unless absolutely necessary.

Fortunately, after being promoted to a concubine, she had many servants to attend to her. Among so many people, she was always able to pick a relatively good one. After finding a relatively good one, Linlang stopped sending robots to apply for the position.

But where did she get the property deed? Naturally, it was obtained from the robot that helped her buy the house.

In this era, it's not necessary for the buyer to personally appear when buying a house—which is quite normal. After all, there are so many wealthy families in the capital who need to buy countless shops, houses, and estates. If the important person had to make a personal trip for each purchase, that would be impossible. Usually, they would just stamp it with their personal seal.

Since homebuyers don't need to be physically present, it's quite normal for Linlang to have a robot make the purchase on her behalf.

Then Linlang instructed her confidant to give the money to the robot, and then go back to the robot to retrieve the house deed.

The rental process was also handled by robots, and the rental fees were delivered by robots to trusted confidants to be brought back.

The confidant wasn't surprised that Linlang had people she could use outside. He assumed that these were people Linlang had contacted before he came to her side—after all, the people who had served Linlang before had committed a crime and been killed, so it was normal that she had already sent someone outside to find a reliable person to buy a house.

Therefore, the confidant naturally knew how many houses and shops Linlang owned and how much rent he could earn in a year, and he was astonished when he saw it.

You see, she had heard the maids of the other concubines talk about their masters' wealth. The most proud one said that her master had accumulated several thousand taels of wealth. Linlang's confidante didn't say anything, but she thought to herself, what is a few thousand taels? Her master's wealth has long exceeded ten thousand taels.

However, she didn't say how much money Linlang had saved. After all, Linlang had instructed her not to tell anyone. If anyone asked, she should say an amount that most people had. So whenever people asked how much private money her mistress had, she usually said around a thousand taels. This was about the amount of private money that concubines would have. Saying it wouldn't attract attention. At most, people would think that Linlang was quite good at saving money. Concubines didn't have much in their annual allowance, and Linlang also had expenses. How could she save so much money? But it wasn't a lot, because anyone could save that much if they put their mind to it.

In fact, Linlang's annual rent alone amounted to nearly a thousand taels of silver, and that was the total amount for each year, not all of her personal savings. (End of Chapter)
