When the female supporting role has a beauty system

Chapter 1430 Jin Yue 31
When Lin Jinzhu got married, besides what was provided by the family, Qi gave her half of her dowry. Now, wanting the Jade Complexion Cream is practically emptying Qi's entire fortune.

But she still had to give it to them.

Lin Yuan sat down beside her and sighed, "Give it to her. Only when Zhu'er is well can the Lin family be well. If she can't gain a foothold in the Pei family, the relationship between the Lin and Pei families will break down."

He was also on sick leave and stayed home because he had been bitten by a snake. Cheng Qian made an outrageous demand, and Lin Yuan was also angry. But despite his anger, he still had to give what was due.

He also wanted to act like Lin Jinyue's biological father, but Wei Shi and Cheng Qian blocked his way, so he couldn't even see Lin Jinyue. How could he possibly do that?
The couple sat facing each other for an hour. Qi looked at the list in her hand. In addition to her remaining dowry, the Lin family had also contributed a lot to just match Lin Jinzhu's dowry share.

"Send it over there." Lin Yuan sighed. "I just hope that the Jade Complexion Cream really works."

"For the sake of the Lin family, all of this is worthwhile."

Qi remained silent, and after dressing up, she went to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion again. This time, Cheng Qian was not as reckless as he had been in the morning, and completed the transaction very readily.

Holding the jade cream, Madam Qi did not linger a moment longer at the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion and headed straight for the Pei family.

Green jade.

Cheng Qian pushed the gift list sent by the Wei family in front of Tan You: "The people have left. I've roughly estimated that the Lin family will be completely emptied this time."

Tan You glanced at the silver notes under the gift list: 200,000 taels.

She smiled and said, "So the Lin family isn't short of money, they're just unwilling to spend money on Lin Jinyue."

Cheng Qian looked at Tan You inquisitively: "What did you add to the Jade Complexion Cream?"

Tan You smiled but remained silent: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask."

She did indeed tamper with the Jade Complexion Cream, hoping that Lin Jinzhu could accept this good fortune.

The Pei family.

When Qi Shi arrived, Lin Jinzhu was gazing at herself in the mirror, feeling sorry for herself. Pei Yun was also startled, but because he was unharmed, he continued to attend court as usual for the past two days. After court, he would either meet with his classmates or stay in his study as soon as he returned.

Qi glanced at the bedroom. The furnishings were the same as before, but Qi could still sense a desolate atmosphere.

She handed the tightly clutched face cream to Lin Jinzhu: "This was obtained from the palace this afternoon by the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion."

She glanced at the two bloody scabs on Lin Jinzhu's right cheek as she spoke: "They'll heal after using it."

Lin Jinzhu didn't ask Qi Shi how she got the Jade Complexion Cream. She practically snatched the porcelain bottle from Qi Shi's hand: "Mother, will my face really get better after using the Jade Complexion Cream?"

"Quick, quick, cleanse my face and apply the cream!"

Her fingernails were sharp, and when she snatched the jade cream, they left several red marks on Qi's palm. Qi frowned, but Lin Jinzhu was so preoccupied with Lin Jinzhu's face that she didn't notice her elderly mother at all.

Madam Qi wasn't exactly known for her easygoing nature, but this was her own daughter, what could she do?
She could only sit on the sidelines and watch as her daughter happily cleansed her face and applied the ointment. From beginning to end, she didn't ask how she got the ointment, nor did she ask how much she had sacrificed for her.

She emptied her entire dowry for Lin Jinzhu. She endured so much humiliation in the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, and what was the result?

Her daughter didn't ask her a single word of concern; all she cared about was her own face!

The more Qi thought about it, the more pointless it seemed. Seeing Lin Jinzhu constantly admiring herself in the mirror, she clenched her handkerchief and said, "You can use the Jade Complexion Cream first. I'm going back now." Lin Jinzhu, who was full of anticipation for the effects of the Jade Complexion Cream, had no idea what Qi was thinking. Hearing this, she simply waved her hand, and Qi felt even more frustrated, leaving without saying a word.

However, one of the dowry maids noticed this and whispered as she saw Qi off, "The young lady is very worried about the madam; she's just too concerned to think straight."

“If a woman loses her face, her life in her husband’s family will be even more difficult. Once the girl’s face is restored, she will definitely realize her shortcomings.”

Qi's anger subsided somewhat, and she patted the nanny's hand: "You're a good one, but Zhu'er still needs your constant reminders."

"No need to see me off, I'm leaving."

After watching Qi's carriage drive away, the mother returned to Lin Jinzhu's side.

Lin Jinzhu, holding the mirror, didn't even look up: "Mother's gone?"

The mother stood with her hands at her sides: "Madam has returned."

She glanced up quickly, then lowered her eyes again: "Young Madam, you were too hasty just now."

Lin Jinzhu stiffened. Only after her mother reminded her did she realize how inappropriate her actions had been. She put down the mirror and, after thinking for a while, said, "Once my face has recovered, I will definitely prepare a generous gift and go back to apologize to my mother."

"I wonder how much effort my mother put into getting the Jade Complexion Cream."

The mother nodded: "If the young lady cares about the master and mistress, they will be happy. No matter how much they sacrifice for the young lady, it will be worth it, as long as the young lady can gain a foothold in the Pei family."

Lin Jinzhu stroked her belly: "I've finally settled down. My husband and I have been married for four years now. I only have one son, and there's been no sign of another baby all these years..."

Mother: "Young Madam, you have a legitimate son to rely on, what are you afraid of? You will have children in the future, there is no rush."

"Your immediate priority is to recover your health; your chances of having children are yet to come."

Lin Jinzhu remembered these words. Her mother was right. She had the eldest son, so what was she afraid of? As long as her son grew up well and she had her family to support her, she was not afraid of anything else.

The embellished Jade Complexion Cream was indeed very effective; in just three days, Lin Jinzhu's facial injuries were completely healed. Her skin was smooth and flawless, and the small freckles that had previously adorned her face had also completely disappeared.

Lin Jinzhu was overjoyed, and Pei Yun, seeing his wife even more beautiful than before, was naturally delighted as well. The couple were inseparable, even sweeter than during their honeymoon.

Several days of blissful intimacy passed before Lin Jinzhu finally thought of her family home. Remembering the strange look on Qi Shi's face when she left that day, Lin Jinzhu knew she should go back and visit.

She searched through the storeroom before returning to the Lin family home with Pei Yun.

The Lin family went to great lengths to find the Jade Complexion Cream for Lin Jinzhu, so Pei Yun naturally valued her even more. If her maternal family valued her, then her husband's family wouldn't dare to neglect her.

Upon entering the Lin family residence, Pei Yun and Lin Yuan went to the study to talk. Lin Jinzhu, accompanied by her maids and servants, went to the backyard to find Qi Shi, and encountered Lin Jinyu's wife, Li Shi, along the way.

Normally, when Mrs. Li saw Lin Jinzhu, she was very friendly. But today, when Mrs. Li saw Lin Jinzhu, her smile was particularly faint, just a polite gesture.

Lin Jinzhu was puzzled. She was in a bad mood and glanced at the servants coming and going in the mansion. She casually said, "I haven't been back for a while. The house seems to have become much simpler."

“Sister-in-law, Mother has asked you to manage the household, but you can’t lack the dignity of an official’s family.”
