In the sweltering heat of May, she returned to her inner chambers to rest. Liu Yue'er changed into a light pink dress that resembled silk gauze, and underneath, she only wore underpants without long pants, revealing her slender and delicate ankles.

  Lin Xuan had the habit of sleeping late and getting up late, so Xiao Man followed his schedule as his personal maid. Liu Yu'er had to get up early every day to give instructions, and at night she would go to bed early, after washing up she would come over to tell Lin Xuan to go back to his room to rest.

  Xiao Man was not in the room at this time, Lin Xie sat in front of the desk, using the bright light of the copper oil lamp to read the newspaper. He saw Liu Yue'er walk in. Liu Yue'er's thin dress only tied a green silk breastband, her slender neck revealed a piece of smooth chest like white jade, the breastband lifted high, her waist was slim, and her beautiful feet exposed under the skirt were also shiny and beautiful under the lamp.

  "Come sit over here..." Lin Xie wanted Liu Yue'er to sit in his arms.

  "What about Little Man?" asked Liu Yu'er, who had been caught by him several times being intimate with Lin Xie, and was always too embarrassed to bear.

  "Go back home and copy books." Lin Fu said, taking over Liu Yue'er's soft and delicate hand, pulling her into his arms.

  Liu Yu'er's eyes sparkled with a sly smile, veiled by a layer of misty water, exuding a flirtatious charm that rippled like clear water. Her red lips were as enticing as cherry blossoms, and her body emitted a faint, intoxicating fragrance that left people enchanted.

  "Wouldn't that be a pity for you?" Lin wrapped his arms around Liu Yue'er's slender waist, which was delicate and soft, yet had endless elasticity.

  "As long as I can stay by your side, I'm content." Liu Yu'er said with a blush.

  Two people, thinly dressed, sat with their legs crossed, and could feel the warmth of Lin Xie's body as well as the man's masculine reaction. Liu Yue'er lowered her head, her forehead touching Lin Xie's slightly prickly chin, and felt that his stubble also made her heart feel comfortable. She felt Lin Xie's hands moving down along her waist, previously she would always avoid him, afraid of stirring up more passion, but now she let him do as he pleased, herself only shyly clinging to Lin Xie's body, her body hot, wanting to bury herself entirely in his body. When Lin Xie's hands slipped into her undergarments, she thought that today he was more impatient than usual, and recklessly wrapped her arms around Lin Xie's neck, worried that Lin Xie's hands would touch the wet heat between her legs, yet also wanting to expose everything to Lin Xie, and fearing that she wouldn't be able to hold back a moan.

  Liu Yue'er's calves were slender and straight, smooth as jade. The muscles on her thighs were full and resilient. When people wore long underpants that reached the knees, Lin Xuan's hands easily slipped inside, only to find Liu Yue'er's inner thigh skin was tender and smooth like a tongue tip. His fingers slid further in, reaching the sensitive area between her legs, which seemed to be filled with a thin layer of clear oil. As soon as his fingers touched it, Liu Yue'er's body trembled uncontrollably, and she let out a moan from her mouth. She buried her head on Lin Xuan's shoulder, moaning softly, and tightly wrapped her arms around his neck to resist the waves of pleasure surging inside her. His fingers were light and gentle, but she almost fainted.

  "Shall I carry you to bed?" Lin Xie asked lightly

  Liu Yu'er was also momentarily unable to react, forgetting that Xiao Man could burst in at any moment. She only clung tightly to Lin Xie's neck as he ravished her, until he undressed her and she suddenly came to her senses, pulling up the thin quilt to wrap herself up, lying horizontally on the bed.

  Lin Xuan lifted the thin blanket, gazing at the beauty under the lamp, her charming appearance was breathtakingly beautiful, with not a single flaw. Liu Yue'er was only bashfully covering her face with both hands, her legs crossed, refusing to let Lin Xuan see her private parts. Her jade-like body was laid out before him, her breasts like towering peaks, the tips rosy red like longing red beans. Her waist was slender, her legs long, and her skin smooth and lustrous, making one's heart burn with desire. Lin Xuan hastily stripped off his own clothes, spreading Liu Yue'er's legs apart, his sword-like member at the entrance, ready to enter, aided by the lubricating moisture...

  At this moment, the half-covered door creaked open, and Liu Yue'er and Lin Xie looked up at the same time to see a small barbarian standing in the doorway wearing a green smoke shirt. The little barbarian covered her eyes with both hands and said: "Really, it's not just these two or three days, I'm so ashamed, my eyes are going blind..." and then quickly left.

  "No, no," Liu Yu'er came to her senses and struggled to get up, "It's fine, it won't make a difference for just a few more days..."

  The arrow is on the string, how can it not be shot? Holding her delicate body, spreading her legs apart, the sword tip presses against the shell mouth, and with a forceful thrust from the waist.

  "Ah," Liu Yue'er's face scrunched up in pain, seeing that Lin Xuan had already been satisfied, she stopped struggling and only tightly hugged Lin Xuan's tiger-like body, softly begging for mercy, "It hurts, it hurts, don't move, be gentle with me..." She didn't even bother to check if the door was closed, as in a large household like theirs, the master and mistress' private matters weren't hidden from their personal servants anyway. Besides, Liu Yue'er also knew that Xiaoman would eventually become Lin Xuan's concubine.

  ***********

  The spring night is short, and the gentle madness is hard to stop. After several rounds of struggle, it's hard to calm down. Until the sky is bright, Lin Xie finally got tired and fell asleep with his arms around his waist. Listening to Lin Xie's soft breathing, Liu Yue'er felt that every bone in her body had completely softened, and she looked at Lin Xie's handsome face and strong chest with love and joy in her heart. She stretched out her hand and gently stroked his face for a while, looking at the bloodstains on the sheets, wondering if she should let this scoundrel see them or struggle to get up and wash herself.

  As soon as the half-closed door was opened, Xiao Man rushed into her room. The door had a basin of warm water and a washcloth on it. At this time, Liu Yue'er also felt that she had been troubled by Lin Xuan for a night, which was very embarrassing. She first washed Lin Xuan's body, then changed the basin of warm water and went back to her room to wash and sleep again.

  It doesn't matter if Xiao Man knows or not, but Liu Yue'er didn't want others to know that she had already given herself to Lin at this time. She slept for more than a few hours and then struggled to get up and do things.

  Wang Ma Zi brought the woman over, and Liu Yue Er arranged a place for them to stay. There were many empty rooms on this side of the thatched cottage, and the helpers invited by the thatched cottage only came to help during the day and did not live here at night.

  Wang Ma Zi works on this side of the river, and usually lives in a thatched hut with his wife. Their clothes and bedding are also tattered and worn out. Liu Yue Er knows that Lin Xie intends to take them as servants, not just ordinary helpers, but also wants to formally give the woman to Wang Ma Zi as his wife, so they won't have to sneak around and hide from people. He arranges a spacious place for them to live, and also asks Yun Niang, Money Xiao Wu's family member, to take them to get several sets of new clothes, bedding, and quilts.

  Lin Xie didn't want to get involved in the Lin family's reduction of the village guards, so after waking up and not finding Liu Yu'er or Xiao Man, he directly went to Prison Island.

  No matter what, the village braves were still loyal to their native home at this time. Lin Tie would have to wait until the Lin family actually reduced the number of village braves before going to receive and retrain them, lest the command of these village braves leave future troubles.

  The prison island was also a mess, and Zhang Sun-geng didn't even get to leave the island in April. When he saw Lin Tie, he didn't mention anything about resting, but instead pulled him into the monitoring room to check on the prison situation.

  Due to the prolonged stay of a large number of refugees north of the Yangtze River, there are also many who are reckless and adventurous, and those who commit crimes. The number of prisoners sent to Jiang Island Prison has been increasing continuously for several months.

  When Lin Hei first arrived on Prison Island, there were only about 200 prisoners on the island. At this time, the number of prisoners on the island had approached nearly 800 people.

  The county government was also ruthless in dealing with the fleeing migrants who committed crimes, and the killings, floggings, and beatings before being sent to the island were all real. Lin Xian asked the famous doctor Wu Yanqing to go to the island as a medical officer, and besides the two medical officers who came, four more medical apprentices were also assigned. Even so, it was far from enough to deal with the many prisoners who were flogged or beaten before being sent to the island, and almost every other day there were prisoners who died of serious injuries.

  Each prefecture and county has a large prison, the Prison Island can refuse to accept prisoners who are seriously injured, it is only to reject those prisoners who have been sentenced to death, there is no other way but death. Lin Xian requires Zhang Sun-geng not to refuse to accept wounded prisoners, when the wounded prisoners come to the island, they must also try their best to treat them medically.

  The prison island was governed by Lin, who made the convicts work on the island. After an initial large investment, they had overcome the difficult period of not having enough to cover expenses. According to the accounts that Long Sun-geng had access to, if one didn't count the medical expenses for treating injured prisoners, the prison island actually had a surplus of 300 taels of silver in April.

  By April, the personnel on the prison island had gradually recovered, and the food expenditure standards for officials and prisoners were more than double what they were before. Just for prisoner rations alone, the prison island needed to receive nearly 200 taels of silver in addition to the payment from the Pacification Commissioner's office every month.

  The prisoners who worked were also required to calculate their wages every day, which were deducted monthly. After the account had a surplus, Lin Xie would have Long Sun-geng distribute part of the wages to the prisoners every month, so that they could buy goods to improve their lives or send them back home. Although these wages were small, with ordinary workers earning only five cents per day, the prisoners did not dare ask for more. In addition, those who worked diligently or had special skills received extra rewards, and the monthly wage settlement alone was worth over a hundred taels of silver.

  At present, on the prison island, being prohibited from leaving the cell to work, solitary confinement, and lowering food standards have become effective means of punishment. Although the number of prisoners on the island has increased sharply, the number of guards and wardens has even decreased compared to before, but the management of the prison island is more orderly.

  In this case, the prison island still had a surplus of 300 taels of silver in April, which was truly an unprecedented achievement. The former prison officer and his accomplices, including the bookkeeper and guards, used to secretly take female prisoners from the prison island to the brothel in Wuyang Town to sell their bodies, earning only about 100-110 taels of silver per month.

  Due to the increasing number of wounded prisoners, Wu Yanqing and others used medicine to treat the wounded without restraint. When there was a shortage of medicine, they would ask Jiyun Society to send it from outside the island, and Jiyun Society would settle accounts with Zhangsun Gong. In April alone, the cost of the medicine used was as much as 300 taels of silver.

  Changshan Gong didn't embezzle the silver from Jiyun Society, after all, Jiyun Society was Lin Xie's private property. If Lin Xie wanted to embezzle the silver, he could have taken it from the extra food allowance and labor wages of the prisoners. This amount was not something that could be easily hidden. Moreover, every time Jiyun Society sent medicine to the warehouse, Changshan Gong, as the only accountant on the island, would carefully inspect each item, without any discrepancies. The only problem was that there were too many injured prisoners, and the medical treatment was too meticulous.

  Chang Sun Geng handed over the account book of the island to Lin Tie, and then took Lin Tie to inspect the prison house, especially the prison house used as a hospital, hoping that Lin Tie could slightly restrict Wu Yanqing's side.
