After being bound to the learning system in my mother's womb, I became the empress

Chapter 198 What does your life and death have to do with me?

Qin Yi next to her waved to Jin Lu, "Come, come to me, I will write you an IOU."

Although he was caught as a young man, Qin Yi was very interested in this job and enjoyed it.

Jinlu came to her.

Qin Yi handed her an IOU, with the main parts already written on it, leaving only the name and amount blank.

"Come, fill in here, here, and here."

Jin Lu looked embarrassed: "I can't write."

Qin Yi: "Oh, it's okay. I'll help you write it. You can just press your fingerprint at the end."

She helped Jin Lu fill in the information on the IOU.

"Let me read it to you.

"I am Jinlu, born on June 50th in the eighth year of Tiansheng. I live in Jixiang Town, Songshan County. On the fourth day of April in the third year of Jingyu, I owed Lin Xi [-] taels of silver, which I have to pay off within ten years.

"Is there any problem?"

Jin Lu: "The number is correct. The repayment money is 1000 taels. Yesterday I chopped those two beasts five times in total. One knife cost ten taels of silver. The total amount is one thousand and fifty taels."

She glanced at Lin Xi, who was sitting on the railing dangling her feet.

"The benefactor said that if we work for her in the future, we will be given a monthly payment of two taels of silver. I calculated that we can save about 20 taels in a year.

"Ten years is 200 taels, which is far from enough to pay off the debt."

Jin Lu's question was also what everyone present wanted to ask.

Everyone fell silent for a while and looked at Lin Xi, waiting to see what she had to say.

Lin Xi: "You don't have to worry about the repayment period. If you haven't paid off the debt after ten years, then the debt will be written off and you can stay as you please."

Jin Lu was pleasantly surprised: "Really?"

Lin Xi: "Do I need to lie to you?"

In an instant, everyone felt that the heavy burden on their shoulders had been lifted, and they no longer felt the heaviness of owing a huge debt.

Personal information was registered and the IOU was issued. Jin Lu suddenly didn't know what to do and stood there at a loss.

Lin Xi waved to her, "Come."

Jin Lu walked over obediently.

Lin Xi handed her a bag of raw chestnuts, "Peel them open for me."

Raw chestnuts taste sweet and crisp, but the skin on the surface of the chestnut kernel is difficult to peel.

Her fingers were so small that after struggling with the chestnut kernels for a long time, she still couldn't peel off a whole chestnut and put it into her mouth.

Now that there is ready labor in front of her, why should she not use it?

Jin Lu took the chestnut, sat down on the stone steps nearby, and peeled the chestnut for her seriously.

Not long after, a clean chestnut kernel was handed to Lin Xi.

She took it and put it into her mouth, chewing it with satisfaction, her mouth full of sweetness.

"Benefactor, let me peel it off for you, too." Tao Xiang'er came over after registering and spoke in a flattering tone.

Lin Xi naturally didn't mind that there were so many people peeling chestnuts for him and nodded.

Soon, Lin Xi had a chestnut kernel in her left hand and a chestnut kernel in her right hand, which was too much for her small mouth to eat.

When she got to the back, there were more people peeling chestnuts for her than chestnuts.

She couldn't even separate the chestnuts, and she couldn't eat them either.

Those who didn't get the job of peeling chestnuts could only find other ways to please Lin Xi.

Squeeze her shoulders, tell jokes, sing songs... Be sure to serve her comfortably.

This is the great benefactor who saved them and will be their future parents, how can they not do their best?
Although the benefactor looks small, she is definitely not a child.

Rather, he is a legendary master with superb martial arts skills who can rejuvenate his youth!

Lin Xi was surrounded by a group of young and old beauties and enjoyed their service, which was quite pleasant.This is the life she deserves.

When she becomes the emperor in the future, she will have to bring a group of beauties to her palace.

Enjoy their attentive and attentive service every day.

Just when he was happy, a scream suddenly came: "Ah Rong, don't do anything stupid!"

A woman who looked to be about twenty years old put a dagger on her neck and walked over with a sad expression.

Jin Lu rushed forward, but did not dare to get too close to avoid irritating her.

"Ah Rong, what are you doing? Put the knife down quickly.

"Aren't we all saved? Don't do anything stupid.

"You are still young, and you still have a long life ahead of you."

The full name of "A Rong" in Jin Lu's mouth is Zhou Lian Rong.

She was relatively lucky. Although she was deceived at the same time as Jin Lu, she was not "favored" by Dongfang Xiang because her appearance was not outstanding.

It was only picked up once by Dongfang Xiang.

So I haven't aged much in appearance.

But this time, it made her even more uncomfortable.

If it was taken many times, she could only blame herself for her bad luck.

If she didn't get replenished even once, she would be lucky.

But why just once?

She wanted to die but couldn't; she wanted to live but couldn't.

"I no longer have innocence, what's the point of living?" Zhou Lianrong laughed sadly and choked with sobs.

Tao Xiang'er: "You are not the only one who has lost his innocence here. I'm not even seeking death yet, but you can't survive."

Jin Lu glared at her, "You are still causing trouble at this time!"
"Ah Rong, if we lose our innocence, the worst we can do is not get married. From now on, our sisters will stay in the mountains and no one can blame us.

"The benefactor also said that he would give us a monthly payment of two taels of silver. From now on, we can make money on our own. The good times are yet to come. If you die, there will be nothing."

Jin Lu persuaded her earnestly.

However, except for her, everyone else remained silent.

Most people have the same thoughts as Tao Xiang'er. Those of them who have been harvested many times and are still young but already old have not yet sought death. Why should she, Zhou Lianrong, want to live or die?

Zhou Lianrong still did not put down the dagger, and even began to give Jin Lu her last words.

"Alu, after I die, if you have a chance, go back and see my parents for me..."

Jin Lu was so anxious that she cast a look at Lin Xi asking for help.

"Benefactor, please help me persuade Ah Rong."

Lin Xi: "Persuade? Why should I persuade her? What does her life and death have to do with me?
"If you want to die, die. No need to talk nonsense here."

Jin Lu: "..."

Zhou Lianrong: "..."

Everyone: "..."

Lin Xi still didn't say anything - those who really wanted to die would have quietly killed themselves long ago. How could they put a dagger to their necks and seek death in public?

Zhou Lianrong probably didn't really want to die, but wanted to test her attitude by seeking death.

Since she dares to test, she will show her attitude.

What does your life have to do with me?
What can you threaten me with?
A trace of resentment flashed in Zhou Lianrong's eyes.

This Lin Xi is really ruthless.

He was about to die, so she didn't come to try to persuade him. Instead, she actually told him to stop talking nonsense and just die.

Could her heart be made of stone?
