Chapter 270 Wang Guangrong brings his wife and concubine to offer congratulations.

"Hehe, it's an honor for me to have you here. Please come in..."

Out of respect for the local official, Doctor Yang didn't want to embarrass Lord Su in front of so many people, and welcomed him inside.

Seeing that Doctor Yang was so easy to talk to this time, Lord Su breathed a sigh of relief and cautiously followed him inside.

As for the lady and children that Lord Su brought, they were invited to the backyard by Madam Lin, whom Lin Luoxi had found, as soon as they got off the carriage.

Since Dr. Yang had no female relatives, he had to ask Madam Lin to help take care of them.

The people who came were all acquaintances, and naturally knew the relationship between Lin Luoxi and Doctor Yang's family. With Lin Wangshi in charge of the reception, no one dared to stand up and cause trouble.

Just as the banquet was about to begin, Master Yang found Lin Luoxi and whispered something to her.

"Miss Lin, the Yang family in the next village is planning to sell a thousand acres of fertile land because their son is addicted to drugs. Have you ever considered doing so...?"

Since everyone was so familiar with each other, Master Yang quietly told Lin Luoxi about this good news.

"Master, how come I didn't know the Yang family had thousands of acres of fertile land!"

Lin Luoxi was now standing halfway up the mountain in Wutong Village (mainly due to the location of Doctor Yang's house). Looking towards the Yang family's house, she couldn't see any large areas of fertile land, and she began to doubt the truthfulness of what Doctor Yang had said.

“Oh, isn’t that the place right there?” Master Yang stood next to Lin Luoxi and pointed to the large expanse of flat, fertile land at the entrance of Wutong Village.

"But I remember those paddy fields, it seems like someone was cultivating them..." Lin Luoxi rarely passed through the village entrance when going in and out of her house, and always went to the city from the back mountain, so she really didn't know much about that fertile field.

"Those were rented by the tenants of the Yang landlord's family to grow." Master Yang didn't expect Lin Luoxi to be so indifferent to these things outside.

"Master Yang, how much does the Yang family plan to sell that thousand-acre plot of fertile land for?" It's very close to Wutong Village, making it convenient for her to inspect and manage, and she's a little tempted.

"Five thousand taels!"

"Don't complain about having too much; after all, it's top-quality fertile land."

Master Yang held up a number that looked like a hand's breadth, but then, fearing that Lin Luoxi might think it was too expensive, he offered a brief explanation.

“Master Yang, how about we go take a look together after we finish eating…” Five thousand taels is no small sum. Although she has money, she doesn’t like to be taken advantage of.

"Of course, let's go eat first, and then we'll go check out the site..."

Once the topic of food came up, Master Yang lost interest in continuing the conversation. He went straight to the banquet table, found a seat, and waited for the food to be served.

Lin Luoxi's lips twitched when she saw Master Yang's starving appearance, but then she saw the other constables craning their necks and looking on expectantly, waiting for the food to be served.

I have a strong suspicion that Lord Su has been withholding his subordinates' monthly pay, making them seem like they've never had anything good to eat.

"Wang Guangrong, the scholar, has come with his family to offer their congratulations..." Just as Lin Luoxi was feeling sorry for Master Yang and the others, Lin Yi's announcement came from outside the door.

"What? That guy actually brought his family?" Upon hearing Lin Yi's report, Lin Luoxi immediately hurried out.

"Wait a minute..." You see, Wang Guangrong has contracted a sexually transmitted disease, and it must be even more serious now. If it's the kind of AIDS we have now, she can't let someone like that in.

If it goes wrong and the infection spreads to others, then the host family who organized the banquet will be guilty.

It was rare to see Lin Luoxi so flustered. He frowned, stood up, and walked outside.

Meng Huai'an, Yan Shaoqun, and Xiao Jingchen were sitting in the front yard, getting impatient with the village girls deliberately walking back and forth and making noise. Now that they saw Doctor Yang rush out, the three of them stood up curiously.

Instead of heading towards the front door like Dr. Yang, he went towards the back door, then circled around to the corner of the front door, watching everything happening there with gossipy eyes.

"Sister-in-law, I brought your cousin and my wife here today to congratulate your master. Why won't you let me in?"

Wang Guangrong looked at Lin Luoxi, who was standing in front of Lin Yi and Zhao Ximo, and a look of amazement flashed in his eyes.

Unexpectedly, after only half a year apart, Lin Ruoxi had grown even more graceful and beautiful. Her face was stunningly beautiful, making his heart flutter. He couldn't help but regret why he had chosen to arrange a marriage in the first place.

If they didn't arrange a marriage, then that family is so wealthy and powerful, surely Wang Guangrong would get a share too.

If someone as capable as Lin Luoxi were to marry him, he could potentially own not just a hundred acres of fertile land, but thousands.

Now, seeing Lin Luoxi growing more and more beautiful and charming, followed by maids and a large group of farmhands, the scene was quite impressive.

If he hadn't been blinded by greed, he would have been the master of these servants, making them do whatever he wanted, and he would have been superior to his classmates.

"Shut your stinking mouth! Who's your aunt? And you're not welcome here, get out of here!" Zhao Ximo heard Wang Guangrong actually calling them "Miss" as if they were related.

And to look at their young lady with that disgusting gaze, they deserve to die.

"Lin Yi, hurry up and beat this toad flat." If she weren't worried that Wang Guangrong might have some kind of disease, she would have taken matters into her own hands and left.

"Miss, I..." Lin Yi looked at the cluster of red rashes on Wang Guangrong's neck, which looked gruesome, and hesitated whether to rush up to him with her bare hands.

"Lin Yi, use a broom to chase these people away." They were all on their side, and Lin Luoxi didn't want to be infected with bad things by Wang Guangrong.

"Lin Luoxi, you see how angry I am, could it be that you still have feelings for me?!" Wang Guangrong shouted angrily when he saw Lin Luoxi having someone chase him away with a broom.

They could smell the feast that Doctor Yang was hosting from outside. Since he was here, he should have a meal before leaving.

Moreover, he had heard that Lord Su was also coming. If he could catch Lord Su's eye, wouldn't he be able to work in the yamen?

"Hey, who is that man? He's got women on his left and right and he says Lin Ruoxi still has feelings for him. Just looking at his ugly face makes me feel disgusted."

Yan Shaoqun, Meng Huai'an, and Xiao Jingchen were hiding in a corner watching the commotion when they overheard Wang Guangrongdu utter such an explosive statement, which made the three of them start discussing it.

Seeing Wang Guangrong's confidence, Yan Shaoqun felt full even before he started eating.

"This man probably doesn't have a mirror at home. With his short, ugly, bear-like appearance, it's no wonder Miss Lin would be interested in him."

“I think if Miss Lin wouldn’t even look at me, let alone a man like that,” Meng Huai’an chimed in.
