“This method is an unconventional one. It is something I came up with by flipping through some records and adding my own thoughts. There might only be a one in ten thousand chance of success, but it requires paying with a million times the effort, sweat, and pain. Are you still willing?” Master Gui looked at Lin Yun.
“I am willing to try!” Lin Yun’s tone was resolute.
“Young Master Lin Yun, since you are so determined and dare to fight for it, then I shall also give it my all to help you. As for whether it will succeed, I dare not guarantee it, because the hope is slim!” Master Gui said.
“Master Gui, do you need my help or assistance?” Yan Shi asked.
Upon learning that there was a chance to help Lin Yun recover, Yan Shi was naturally overjoyed.
“It might require quite a bit of funding,” Master Gui said.
Yan Shi immediately said, “I have saved some money over these past few years, and recently the master has given me money several times. I can take it all out.”
“Besides money, we also need to find a place to implement the plan. It is not suitable within the Lin household,” Master Gui said.
Master Gui continued, “There is a White Horse Mountain outside the city, and inside it there is a White Horse Manor. The environment there is good, and White Horse Manor belongs to the Lin family. Normally, no outsiders come and go. Many years ago, the Lin family rose to prominence from White Horse Manor. Now, White Horse Manor has been vacant for many years. If we are to carry out the plan, going there would be very suitable.”
Yan Shi also nodded, “If Yun’er has a chance to recover, it truly cannot be done in the Lin family, lest someone takes notice. Then I shall go to the master right now and ask for his permission for us to stay at White Horse Temple for a while.”
After her words fell, Yan Shi directly rose and walked out.
Lin Guangde had long said that whatever Yan Shi and Lin Yun needed, they should just ask him.
Yan Shi usually would not proactively seek out Lin Guangde to make any requests, but when it concerned Lin Yun, she had no reservations.
Lin household front hall.
“Yan Shi pays respects to the master,” Yan Shi entered the front hall and curtsied to Lin Guangde.
“Madam Yan, have you come again to ask about the investigation results?” Lin Guangde looked up at Yan Shi.
Over this period, Yan Shi had only come a few times, each time to inquire about the investigation results.
Lin Guangde had already said before that the investigation into the Madam had found nothing unusual. At this point, it might be someone else, and Lin Guangde had also stated that he would continue investigating who did it.
“Yan Shi has come this time with an unreasonable request,” Yan Shi said.
“Madam Yan, whatever the request is, just speak directly,” Lin Guangde said.
“The master’s understanding of Yun’er’s current situation is clear. Now within the Lin household, there are quite a few people who look at Yun’er with strange gazes. Yan Shi wishes to let Yun’er change to a quiet place to recuperate. Yan Shi has learned that White Horse Manor on White Horse Mountain has been vacant all along. The environment there is good and quiet with no one around, so she hopes the master can agree to let Yun’er go to White Horse Manor to recuperate,” Yan Shi said.
Lin Guangde rose and said, “White Horse Manor has been vacant for many years and is already useless. Since Yun’er wishes to go, then I shall grant the entire White Horse Manor to Yun’er.”
Lin Guangde knew he owed Lin Yun, so he was very generous.
“Master, while Yun’er recuperates and rests there, he does not wish to be disturbed by anyone. Could you instruct that no one from the Lin family is allowed to go to White Horse Manor?” Yan Shi said.
“Of course, that is no problem. Since White Horse Manor is granted to Yun’er, it naturally becomes his private property,” Lin Guangde said.
“Thank you, master!” Yan Shi hurriedly expressed her thanks.
…
After returning to Yi Garden from the front hall, Yan Shi immediately told this news to Lin Yun and Master Gui.
“I truly did not expect that the master would directly grant the vacant White Horse Manor to Young Master Lin Yun. This makes things even better,” Master Gui said with a smile.
Master Gui continued, “Since that is the case, then I shall go back first to make preparations. Tomorrow morning, we shall meet at White Horse Manor.”
“Master Gui, take this money first,” Yan Shi took out a storage ring and handed it to Master Gui.
…
The next day, morning.
White Horse Mountain, White Horse Manor.
The entire manor was empty of people, serene and peaceful, with towering trees everywhere.
Although the manor had long been uninhabited, over these years, people had come regularly to clean, so it was still very clean.
In front of the manor’s grand hall.
When Lin Yun and Yan Shi arrived here, Master Gui and a young woman were already standing in the square in front of the grand hall.
“Madam Yan, Young Master Lin Yun,” Master Gui immediately bowed.
“Greetings to Madam Yan and Young Master Lin Yun,” the young woman beside him also immediately bowed to Yan Shi and Lin Yun.
