The wronged female supporting role made a comeback with a divine reply

Chapter 341 Making a Game

Tang Hao looked at Bai Lin who was drinking tea silently in front of him and felt a sense of strangeness.

In fact, he and Bai Lin have been working closely together, but they don't interact much on the surface and communicate frequently in secret. Bai Lin has always left him with the impression of being confident and steady, strong and dark, but this is the first time he has seen him so decadent.

"You drink tea as if you were drinking wine." Tang Hao sighed lightly.

Bai Lin's eyelashes quirked slightly. "Yes, but wine can make people drunk, but tea can't. Tomorrow morning I have to go to Lord Zhong to record the distribution of salt permits."

So, you don’t even dare to get drunk during this rare moment of conversation?

Tang Hao took the teapot away directly: "This kind of tea becomes more bitter the more you drink it. Brother Bai, I have a kind of fruit wine that won't make you drunk. I'll go get it. You wait here!"

Bai Lin nodded slightly, looked into Tang Hao's eyes and said seriously: "Thank you, Brother Tang. I shouldn't have treated you like a laborer when we were in Lu County before."

Tang Hao: "...you're talking as if you've never used me before!"

Bai Lin: "This is different. I did it on purpose before, but now I'm used to it."

Tang Hao: "Shut up! If you keep talking I won't go!"

Bai Lin: ...

Not long after Tang Hao left, Bai Lin's expression calmed down and he returned to his usual gentle image.

After a moment, he turned his head to look out the window out of boredom, and saw an acquaintance.

Wang Jinnian.

It seems that the matter in Jinzhou is over, and the efficiency is quite high. However, there is a beautiful woman following him. The woman looks a little familiar. Who is she?

At this time, Wang Jinnian stopped and turned back helplessly and said, "Miss Yue, the misunderstanding between you and me has been made clear in front of your Yue family elders. Why did you still follow me all the way to the capital?"

"What? Are you the only one who can walk on this official road? And do you think that it's enough for you to explain it clearly? Wang Jinnian, don't you have any responsibility at all in this matter?" Yue Wushuang asked.

"Of course!" Wang Jinnian was no longer bothered to be polite. "Not only am I not responsible at all, I almost died. If I hadn't been blessed with a long life, I would have paid with my life for your stupidity!"

"You...you actually called me stupid?" Yue Wushuang looked shocked.

Wang Jinnian snorted coldly: "What? You almost killed me, should I thank you?"

"I..." Yue Wushuang's face was full of grievance, "You clearly knew that I was kidnapped at that time and my life was hanging by a thread. How could I have harmed you? It was you...it was obviously you who refused to save me!"

"That's enough!" Wang Jinnian lost his patience. "Miss Yue, I've already made it clear to the Yue family, so no matter what you do, it has nothing to do with me. Please don't get so close to me on the street. I have something else to do, so I'm leaving first!"

Yue Wushuang stomped her feet in anger, but there was nothing she could do. She could only watch Wang Jinnian quickly leave.

Bai Lin withdrew his gaze, thoughtful.

I never thought Wang Jinnian would be so cold and hard towards other women. No wonder people in the Dali Temple said he was destined to be a bachelor!

This scene was just a small episode for Bai Lin. He didn't wait long before Tang Hao came back with a jar of wine in his hand.

"Brother Bai, look, this is last year's tribute wine, stolen from my father's private storehouse. What do you think? Am I being nice?"

Bai Lin said with a hint of gratitude: "Brother Tang is really very considerate! Prince An won't be angry, right?"

"Of course it will happen. You'll have to hold on when the time comes!"

"What do you mean?"

"What else can I mean? Of course I'm telling the truth. Then I'll say I can't bear to see you worried and depressed, so I'll give you wine to drown your sorrows!"

"You call this thoughtful?"

"Haha, just tell me whether you want to drink or not?"

"drink!"

After three rounds of drinks, Bai Lin's face showed a slightly tipsy look, and he actually talked to Tang Hao about Lord Zhong's plan for salt imports to the south of the Yangtze River. Tang Hao was not interested in this matter and could only agree with him.

As the night gradually deepened, the two finally had enough fun and said goodbye to each other.

However, after they left, two people walked out of the next box, one was wearing plain clothes and had a playful expression, and the other was wearing a brocade robe and looked very noble.

They said nothing, but left side by side, and then went to a brothel. The madam calmly took them to the backyard room.

Soon, the food and wine were served and the two raised their glasses to celebrate.

The man in plain clothes said, "It seems that those insidious tricks you thought of are useless! We just need to set up a trap. You go find a few people and spread the news that Bai Lin has feelings for Princess Zhaohe.

Also, find a few storytellers to write a story about the two of them, about love that cannot be achieved. Oh, and include Li Rongyue in the story, making her a stumbling block to Princess Zhaohe’s lust for her. ”

The man in brocade robe's eyes lit up, and he asked doubtfully, "This is a good idea, but it will be easy for Li Rongyue to find out. Then won't we be in big trouble?"

"You are stupid! Can't you find someone to pretend to be Bai Lin and do this?"

"Makes sense!"

"Also, go inform the eldest son of the Zhenguo Mansion and ask him to find other storytellers to write about Li Rongyue and Princess Zhaohe as a couple, and Bai Lin as a stumbling block, just like you did. Similarly, he should find someone to impersonate Li Rongyue."

"Great! As expected of the wise and resourceful Seventh Young Master!" the man in brocade robe said happily, "This way, Li Rongyue and Bai Lin will think that the other party is deliberately disgusting them, and then their cooperation on the northwest line will be ruined!"

The Seventh Young Master shook his head: "Oh, you think too much. Their cooperation is now mixed with the Zhong family and the Zhang family, as well as several large chambers of commerce. They have formed a win-win situation of making money and low-cost military supplies, which will not be easily broken."

The man in brocade robe was stunned: "What's the point of doing this? Just to disgust them?"

"Not really. Often times, disgust is just the beginning. They both have very good reputations, and ordinary rumors can't tarnish their reputations at all. Only things like this can spread quickly."

"You mean, let's use this as an excuse to see if they will fall out?"

"Yes, this will also show how important Princess Showa is in their hearts. If she is very important, then there are many things we can do!

Maybe we can really make them turn against each other, and then force the Bai family to withdraw from the northwest trade route, so that our people can take over!"

"What if it's not that important?"

"That's normal. After all, they don't believe in that Taoist Tianji at all, so it's not true that they said they were willing to die for Princess Zhaohe in the hall."

"Ah! I think they are quite sincere, especially Li Rongyue. After all, Bai Lin was still the elder brother at that time."

“That’s right, so there will definitely be a rift between them, and the rest can be done slowly. There is no rush on the northwest line.

Our primary target now should be the Zhong family. Didn’t Bai Lin just say that Lord Zhong wants to redistribute the share of Jiangnan salt permits? This matter will soon be done!"

"What?" The man in brocade robe was surprised. "From what Bai Lin said, isn't this still in the sorting stage?"

The Seventh Young Master smiled slightly: "That's because Bai Lin knows his limits. Even though he was drunk, he wouldn't reveal too much to Tang Hao. He only said the superficial things!

Think about it, has he done anything in these years that was not done with extreme caution and treading on thin ice?

If such a person is not extremely sad, he probably won't even mention it.

But he actually paused for a moment on one detail, so I guess it must be getting done!"

"How can that be possible?" the man in brocade robe was anxious, "Will all the great achievements go to the Zhong family?"
