Chapter 237 Those heartless little devils, they didn't even invite them to eat something delicious in the back mountain!

She hid the silver she had obtained from the bandits and the money left by Lord Ji, and in addition, she was in late pregnancy and didn't sleep well.

She spotted them when the first group of villagers rushed up Bear Ridge, but she didn't make a fuss.

Instead, they took the money, slipped away from the villagers who were searching for the treasure, and quietly went down the mountain.

She took the money and, using her husband's death in battle as an excuse, bought a small courtyard in the county and settled down.

Wang Shuya showed no sympathy for the sisters' plight on Bear Ridge. She absconded with the property that should have been divided among them and spent it on herself without a care in the world.

Wang Shuya even thought to herself that Zhao Ximo and the other three who left with Lin Luoxi would not have fared much better. She was much luckier, being in charge of her own life and not having to depend on anyone else.

In fact, she didn't know that Zhao Ximo's life would be a thousand times, ten thousand times better than hers after she got involved with Lin Luoxi.

At this moment, Zhao Ximo and the others were eating their most formal dinner at Lin Luoxi's house under the moonlight.

Here, they witnessed the kindness and simplicity of the Lin family, and the friendly interactions among them... and began to look forward to the future.

"It's getting late, you should all get some rest. We have a lot of work to do tomorrow." The dinner lasted until the moon was high in the sky. Seeing that it was getting late, Lin Luoxi quickly stood up and told everyone to go home.

"Master, we'll see you off." Lin Yi and the others stood up to offer to escort Lin Luoxi down the mountain.

"No need, it's getting late, you guys should go wash up and go to bed. I could walk this path down the mountain with my eyes closed."

"Besides, with so many of us, are you really afraid we'll get lost?" Lin Luoxi waved her hand, indicating that it wasn't necessary.

The main reason Lin Luoxi chose to let Lin Yi and the others stay in the cave was because there was a stream nearby, which would make it convenient for them to have water for washing.

"Then be careful on your journey." Seeing that Lin Luoxi was not putting on airs at all, Lin Yi grew to like this master more and more, and was even more certain that he had made the right choice in following Lin Luoxi.

Lin Luoxi and her family said goodbye to Master Zhao Minghui, Lin Zhousheng's family, Xie Hanchuan, and others outside the Lin family courtyard before returning home.

Zhao Ximo, Tang Chuxia, Yang Kexin, and Yang Keyi are all girls, so they naturally couldn't stay in the cave with Lin Yi and the others. They also went back with Lin Luoxi.

Lin Luoxi thought that the new house would be completed tomorrow, so she decided to let the four of them stay in the same room with her and Lin Luoning for the time being.

At first, Zhao Ximo felt that this was against the rules and thought that she could just sleep on the ground in the yard.

But Lin Luoxi shut them up by saying they could leave if they didn't behave, and they obediently rested in Lin Luoxi's room.

Meanwhile, Ji Feng and the others, who had been observing the situation in the neighboring courtyard, were relieved to see Lin Luoxi and the others return before going back to report the news.

"That heartless girl went to eat something delicious in the back mountain without even thinking of inviting us along," Xiao Jingchen couldn't help but complain as soon as he heard that Lin Luoxi had returned.

“Master, you are a prince. Are you going to lower yourself to eat with those country folk? Aren’t you afraid that when you return to the capital, someone will investigate and use that as a reason to attack you…” Old Man Li couldn’t help but remind his master of the proper order of things when he heard his master’s words.

"Bullshit! That's called being close to the people. Eating with country folk is called understanding their plight and their lives..." Xiao Jingchen couldn't help but curse when he heard what Old Man Li said.

What happened to the prince? He was just having dinner with the country folk; he might even be praised for his kindness and benevolence…

Hehe, the reason why Xiao Jingchen was so excited was because the Lin family all went to the back mountain for dinner in the evening.

The food they ate in their courtyard was prepared by their own chef, and the taste was on a completely different level from what the Lin family cooked.

He barely ate any dinner and is still hungry.

Old Li was frightened by his master's foul language and dared not say another word, sitting silently on the stool.

Several untimely gurgling sounds rang out, indicating that Xiao Jingchen wasn't the only one who hadn't eaten enough for dinner.

“Master, how about I have someone make some midnight snacks…” Ji Feng, standing next to Xiao Jingchen, tentatively suggested.

"I won't eat it. It tastes so bad. I'd rather go hungry," Xiao Jingchen said in a rare childish tone.

Ji Feng's lips twitched as he listened to his master's words. It seemed like his master had been eating the chef's food for over a decade, so why was he only saying it was bad now? His master was the type to get tired of the old and crave the new.

Lin Jize listened to his master's words and was speechless, but he didn't say anything, afraid that he would become the punching bag later.

His life is truly miserable. He couldn't have lived a peaceful life, but he had to bring back such a difficult person to live with him. He will never have a peaceful day again.

"Knock knock..." Just as everyone in the neighboring courtyard was lost in their own thoughts, a knock came from the gate.

"Who is it? You've come?" Lin Jize heard the familiar knocking sound and knew who was outside the gate, but he still asked this on purpose.

"Master, guess who's outside the door?" Old Man Li saw Lin Jize rush out to open the door first, and he had a pretty good idea of ​​who it was. He asked Xiao Jingchen mysteriously.

"Hmph, do I look like a fool to you?" Xiao Jingchen couldn't help but roll his eyes at Old Man Li. Seeing Lin Jize's excited expression as if he had seen a savior, he knew without guessing who it was and even asked him on purpose.

He's just sick, not stupid. People are still trying to fool him.

Old Li, having run into trouble again, awkwardly touched the tip of his nose and shut his mouth in embarrassment.

When Ji Feng saw Old Man Li's expression, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

It seems that ever since he met Miss Lin, Old Man Li has been on a path of setbacks, going further and further astray.

"Grandpa, you probably haven't eaten yet, right? My second sister asked me to bring this over." Lin Wenqian handed the large food box to Lin Jize, explaining how to use the contents before turning back to the next room.

Xiao Jingchen and the others, who were eagerly waiting inside, saw Lin Jize return alone carrying a food box.

"Miss Lin, why didn't you come in?" Old Man Li asked, sticking his head out when he saw that only Lin Ji had returned.

"What Miss Lin? Don't you even know what time it is?"

"Ji Feng, go and bring the big iron pot over."

Lin Jize rolled his eyes at Old Man Li and started taking things out of the food box and placing them on the dining table in front of him.

Then Ji Feng and the others were sent to bring the iron pot and firewood into the main room to heat the beef slice soup base that Lin Luoxi had prepared.

Seeing Lin Jize take out the pre-cut beef slices and some side dishes from the food box, Xiao Jingchen's expression finally improved.

"This girl still has some conscience; she didn't forget us when she had something good to eat."
