Chapter 407 Xiao Jingchen Orders Xie Hanchuan to Lead the Army into Battle

Seeing the white tiger open its blood-red maw at them, Lin Dayou and his family of three trembled with fear.

The sleeping child in Wang Qianqian's arms sensed the adult's fear and burst into tears.

Lin Dayou and Wang Qianqian were even more timid. They were so frightened by the white tiger that they collapsed to the ground and even peed themselves.

The child in her arms dropped to the ground in fear and cried loudly.

Those present who knew the truth did not soften their hearts and go to hug the child, because the child was not actually Lin Dayou's child.

However, those involved are often blinded by their own perspective, while bystanders see things more clearly. Perhaps Lin Dayou was trying to save face and was unwilling to admit that Wang Qianqian had cheated on him.

"Get out!" Lin Luoxi was very unhappy that the gate of the new family mansion was stained with Lin Dayou and Wang Qianqian's urine.

"Get out, we're leaving right now..." Lin Dayou glanced at the white tiger glaring at him, then at the icy Lin Luoxi, and used all four limbs to grab the child and escape.

"Honey, wait for me..." Wang Qianqian saw Lin Da run away alone again, so she struggled to get up and chased after him.

Lin Luoxi has never liked her. If she lingers for even a minute longer, Lin Luoxi will definitely skin her alive and feed her to that tiger.

With no annoying person in her way, Lin Luoxi breathed a sigh of relief and led everyone back to the princess's residence.

"I think Lin Dayou's life is going to be ruined by that woman." Lin Lingtian shook his head as he watched Lin Dayou run away without any backbone, his eyes full of disappointment for Lin Dayou.

"Sigh! He brought this on himself. He had a perfectly good life but had to cause trouble." Lin Jize could only sigh at Lin Dayou's behavior; he really didn't know what to say.

It can only be said that if the Lin family hadn't been supported by Lin Luoxi, they would have been ruined by the old man long ago, and they wouldn't have achieved their current glory.

Unfortunately, Lin Dayou had no self-awareness whatsoever. Just a few words from others made him so easily fooled that he lost all sense of his own worth.

"My dear daughter, you've suffered so much!" Su Xue'er looked at Wang Yurou with heartache. Lin Dayou's actions over the past year had chilled even the most bystanders, let alone Wang Yurou, who had been with him for over a decade.

Ever since Wang Yurou and Lin Dayou divorced, Su Xueer was afraid that Wang Yirou would become estranged from them, so she took Wang Yurou in as her goddaughter.

Wang Yurou knew Su Xueer's purpose, but since she didn't intend to look for another one, she agreed to Su Xueer's request and formally became Su Xueer's godmother.

"How about we build a house here at Luo Xi's place? What do you think?"

Lin Lingtian noticed that after Lin Luoxi left Wutong Village, the food prepared by the Lin family was not as delicious as before.

Today, they discovered that the food at the Princess's residence tasted the same as before, and they felt that whether the food was delicious or not must be related to Luo Xi.

Lin Lingtian guessed correctly. Ever since Lin Dayou and Wang Yurou divorced, Lin Luoxi had stopped putting spiritual water into the Lin family's well, so the food she cooked naturally didn't taste the same as before.

The main reason was that she didn't want to benefit Lin Dayou and Wang Qianqian. Lin Luoxi not only used water from the well, but also the ingredients she sent to the Lin family were not nourished by the spiritual water of the space; they were all ordinary ingredients.

“Yes, yes, I’ve had enough of rural life. Now that I’m getting older, I should change my environment.” Lin Jize nodded, agreeing with Lin Lingtian’s words.

Besides Lin Luoxi's princess residence, there is plenty of open space on Langya Mountain, enough for several families to build multi-courtyard houses here.

Without further ado, the next day, Lin Jize immediately sent someone to invite Zhao Minghui over to begin measuring the land and building the house.

Ever since he started building houses with Lin Ruoxi, Zhao Minghui's business has been booming every day. He has now taken on hundreds of apprentices, but he still feels like he can't finish all the business.

Having just completed the construction of the enormous princess's residence, and before he could even rest, Lin Lingtian and his group started approaching him again.

Driven by money and business acumen, Zhao Minghui had no choice but to embark on another journey of building new houses with his mentors and apprentices.

Lin Jize and Lin Lingtian wanted to build houses next to their princess's residence, and Lin Luoxi once suggested that they live in the princess's residence instead.

They felt that the princess's mansion was large enough for them to live in, so why waste money building a stockade?

Lin Lingtian and Lin Jize rejected Lin Luoxi with the excuse that "distant things are better than nearby things."

Well, since we'll all end up together anyway, let them do whatever they want.

In any case, Lin Luoxi will take full responsibility for their later years.

Back home, Lin Dayou thought about what Liang Qiaoyan had said at the banquet and began to carefully examine the child in his arms.

Wang Qianqian had been watching Lin Dayou's every move with trepidation. When she saw Lin Dayou staring intently at the child in her arms, she was terrified.

She immediately started to fawn over Lin Dayou, showering him with compliments, making him so infatuated that he forgot his destination and completely disregarded the fact that there was a child in the room. The two of them shamelessly rolled around together.

But after all that, Lin Dayou still had doubts in his heart about whether the child was really his.

"Luo Xi, this year the small countries in the southern barbarians have been provoking our borders. I want to send troops to fight them, but there is not a single person in the court who is capable of this great task..."

Xiao Jingchen stayed at the princess's residence for a month, holding one of Lin Luoxi's children, Xie Zhili, by the hand, before speaking to Lin Luoxi with a hint of hesitation.

Lin Luoxi's five children are named: Xie Zhili, Xie Zhiyan, Xie Zhiheng, Xie Zhichu, and Xie Leyao.

The person Xiao Jingchen was holding and playing with was Xie Zhili, the eldest son of the Xie family.

"Xiao Jingchen, we're already acquaintances, there's no need to beat around the bush."

"Do you want me to go to war, or do you want my man to go to war in your place?"

Lin Luoxi was unwilling to listen to Xiao Jingchen's nonsense and went straight to the point.

Xie Hanchuan, standing to the side, remained silent, quietly holding Xie Leyao and watching the two of them, looking like a submissive wife.

"Hehe, Luo Xi really understands me..."

"Han Chuan comes from a military family. He went to the battlefield with Lord Xie when he was a child..." Xiao Jingchen, whose thoughts had been exposed by Lin Luoxi, chuckled.

The meaning is simple: he wants Xie Hanchuan to lead troops to the battlefield.

"Don't give me that crap. We'll help you pacify the country, but once you're in power, won't you turn around and come after us?"

It's a common problem for emperors to discard those who have served their purpose, so Lin Luoxi wanted to negotiate the terms before putting in any effort.

"No, I, Xiao Jingchen, swear to the heavens..."

"Alright, alright, I don't believe in such unreliable things as swearing oaths. Only when you write down your promise yourself will we feel at ease..."

How many people truly keep their vows? In the face of reality, those so-called vows are nothing but empty promises.

"Alright, I'll give you a few immunity tokens right away..." After saying that, Xiao Jingchen immediately took out five immunity tokens from the eunuch Fu behind him and gave one to each of the children.

Lin Luoxi's lips twitched as she watched Xiao Jingchen's actions.
