Chapter 490 Wutong Village Welcomes Assassins from the Imperial Palace Once Again

Xie Hanchuan ignored Lin Luoxi's resistance, hoisted her onto his shoulder, and forcibly carried her back to the room.

That day, the Xie family's kitchen was extremely busy, with seven water deliveries made in a row, and the commotion inside Xie Hanchuan and Lin Luoxi's room showed no signs of abating.

Three days later, Lin Xingman did not see Xiao Jingchen, but instead received assassins from the capital.

Lin Luoxi had already received the news when this group of assassins entered Quanzhou.

She simply assumed the assassins were after other people and ignored them, but to her surprise, they ended up in Wutong Village.

Realizing that the assassins intended to harm Lin Xingman, Lin Luoxi immediately activated the security system alarm in Wutong Village.

The entire village of Wutong immediately transformed from villagers into warriors, taking up weapons and surrounding all the assassins.

The assassins hadn't expected that the villager, who had just been an honest and simple man, would suddenly transform into a murderous warrior, even more like an assassin than they were.

"Their village hasn't been this lively in a long time. Now that another batch of lambs has arrived, there should be enough for all of us to share." The villagers' eyes gleamed with fervent desire as they looked at the assassins.

It's been too long, so long that they haven't done anything for a long time, and their bodies are practically rusting.

"That's hard to say, but first come, first served..." A villager, afraid of not getting a hitman's share, was the first to rush out.

"That sixth brother is really cunning." Seeing Lin Liu rush out, the others, not to be outdone, drew their knives and charged out as well.

Before long, the villagers of Wutong Village were fighting with the assassins.

Within an hour, the villagers of Huzhong Village had finally dealt with all the century-old assassins.

"Hmm, well done. You guys are getting more and more efficient. We'll have an extra meal tonight."

As soon as the battle ended, Lin Luoxi stepped forward, saw the corpses of the assassins on the ground, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Master, may we make a request? We'd like to have some more seafood, could we have an extra seafood meal?" Lin Liu shamelessly asked Lin Luoxi.

"I thought it was some kind of problem, but it's just seafood, of course it's fine." Lin Luoxi readily agreed.

"Yay! Master is the best!" Lin Liu exclaimed excitedly upon hearing Lin Luoxi's words.

He used to envy Lin Yin for being able to run errands so often, but now he only envies himself for being able to eat delicious seafood right here in the village.

Upon hearing that there would be a seafood feast, everyone quickly disposed of the corpses on the ground without Lin Luoxi even having to say a word.

After disposing of the body, everyone rushed towards the cafeteria.

Since the day Lin Luoxi trained all the villagers of Wutong Village, a training base and a training canteen have been specially built.

They can now focus on training and getting stronger. Their meals are prepared by dedicated staff, so they can eat directly after training.

This is called "raising an army for a thousand days, using it for one moment".

Lin Liu and his friends ran to the cafeteria and saw a pile of seafood that hadn't been cooked yet.

In order to eat seafood as soon as possible, they volunteered to help the kitchen staff clean the seafood, and everyone was all smiles without a single complaint.

The seafood was so big that it was all steamed in a large iron pot, which kept everyone very busy.

Finally, it was time to eat. Everyone took their bowls and chopsticks and lined up to wait.

Lin Luoxi and Lin Xingman took the envelope they had taken from the assassin.

“These were all taken from the assassin, take a look…” This was about Lin Xingman, and Lin Luoxi didn’t intend to hide it.

Seeing Lin Luoxi's serious expression, Lin Xingman stopped teasing the child, took the letter from Lin Luoxi's hand, and began to read it quickly.

"Luo Xi, I plan to return to the palace." Lin Xingman saw the contents of the letter, sneered, and looked at Lin Luo Xi.

"You still have feelings for that man Xiao Jingchen?" This decision surprised Lin Luoxi quite a bit.

"No, I'm going back to seek justice for myself..." she said, crumpling the envelope in her hand into a ball.

“Okay, but Xiao Jingchen should be coming in the next couple of days. You’ll go back with him…” Seeing that Lin Xingman had chosen to stand up for herself, Lin Luoxi gave her a detailed explanation.

Fearing that Lin Xingman couldn't outmaneuver those women's schemes, he specially asked Su Xue'er for Granny A-Yun to come over and help Lin Xingman establish her authority. Once Lin Xingman's situation in the palace improved, she could return to Su Xue'er's side.

The condition, of course, was that he would agree to Su Xue'er's request to take Su Ning along to inspect the business and impart some business experience to her.

Three days later, Xiao Jingchen finally arrived.

"Luo Xi, where are my wife and children?" As soon as Xiao Jingchen entered the door, he put on a sentimental look, which made Lin Luo Xi frown.

However, considering that this was a matter between the couple, Lin Luoxi could only have someone take Xiao Jingchen to Lin Xingman's house.

She desperately wants to avoid seeing this hypocritical scumbag; even a single glance is an eyesore.

Perhaps Lin Xingman had her own plans. She didn't tell Xiao Jingchen about the assassination attempt on her in Wutong Village, but instead put on the gentle expression she had when they first met.

She asked Granny A-Yun to help her hold the child and then followed Xiao Jingchen.

Fearing that Aunt Yun and Lin Xingman would be plotted against by the women in the palace, Lin Luoxi secretly sent people back to the capital to protect Lin Xingman and Aunt Yun.

Five days later, Lin Xingman returned to the palace with her child and stayed in the Phoenix Palace.

During her postpartum confinement, Liu Yanyan, wanting to spite Lin Xingman, insisted on coming in to pay her respects to Lin Xingman despite the objections of Granny Yun.

Seeing Liu Yanyan's arrogance, one of the people around Lin Xingman ran to inform Xiao Jingchen, while the others became vigilant and stared at Liu Yanyan.

"My dear sister, why did you have to run off to the countryside? I'm exhausted from serving the Emperor in the palace..."

Looking at the baby in swaddling clothes beside Lin Xingman, Liu Yanyan's eyes flashed with intense jealousy and resentment.

"Guards, bestow a reward! Consort Liu has served the Emperor well; reward her with a century-old ginseng root..." Lin Xingman thought her heart wouldn't ache, but upon hearing Liu Yanyan's words, her heart couldn't help but feel a pang of pain.

Men, ah, unreliable, therefore, she no longer wants them.

"You, you, don't think that Brother Chen loves you so much. Actually, Brother Chen is just playing with you. Once the novelty wears off, you'll still be neglected..."

Seeing that Lin Xingman wasn't as upset and tearful as usual, Liu Yanyan added fuel to the fire.

"How dare you! How dare you, a mere concubine, interfere in the relationship between Her Majesty the Empress and His Majesty!" Lin Xingman didn't speak, but Granny A-Yun, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it any longer and quickly reprimanded her.

"You old hag, who do you think you are to talk back to me..." Liu Yanyan gave her a look, and the palace maid behind her immediately stepped forward, intending to attack Granny Ayun.
