Chapter 498 Extra: Lin Xingman Leaves

Since her son was poisoned, he has been listless for seven days and six nights. Even when he opens his eyes, he closes them again very quickly, as if he could leave her at any moment.

Now, seeing the light in Xiao Yize's eyes, Lin Xingman finally felt relieved.

"Young Miss, the First Prince should be alright now, right?" Granny A-Yun, who had followed Lin Xingman back to the palace, stepped forward with great concern to inquire.

"Don't worry, Granny, the First Prince is out of danger. He has turned misfortune into blessing, as his constitution is now immune to all poisons," Lin Luoxi replied with a smile.

"That's good!" Granny A-Yun breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Lin Luoxi's words.

Everyone in the courtyard breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Lin Luoxi's words.

"Xingman, bring Ze'er back. Where is Xiao Jingchen?" No matter what, Xiao Yize is Xiao Jingchen's first child, so he should be very concerned about him.

How could they let Lin Xingman take Xiao Yize away from the capital alone and travel such a long distance to Wutong Village?

"Young Miss, don't even mention it. That Consort Liu in the palace is a real piece of work. She always takes advantage of being the Emperor's cousin to pick fights with the Empress from time to time."

"The Empress is the kind of person who won't utter a sound even if you hit her with a stick, she's going to be bullied to death..." Granny A-Yun was disappointed in Lin Xingman, but she also felt that Consort Liu in the palace was too arrogant.

"The fact that he can act so arrogantly in the palace means that someone is spoiling him..." Lin Luoxi felt even more disappointed in Xiao Jingchen after hearing what Granny Ayun said.

She thought to herself that she should train everyone in Wutong Village to become experts. Who knew if a fickle man like Xiao Jingchen might turn against her?

Lin Xingman understood the meaning behind Lin Luoxi's words. Holding her son, she was heartbroken and shed tears alone.

"Cry, cry, all you know how to do is cry. You've got all that skill, and even bitches are jumping around in front of you. What are you still worried about..." Lin Luoxi got angry just looking at Lin Xingman's sullen face.

"I know I was wrong, Luo Xi, I don't plan to go back to the palace..." Lin Xingman was heartbroken by Xiao Jingchen and planned to disappear from Xiao Jingchen's world with her son.

"You're a mother now, so you should prioritize your own and your child's safety in everything you do." This was a tacit agreement with Lin Xingman's decision.

"Yes, Luo Xi, I understand..." Lin Xingman understood Lin Luo Xi's words, hugged Xiao Yize, bowed to Lin Luo Xi, and then resolutely got into the carriage and left Wutong Village.

"Young Miss, this, this..." Granny A-Yun stammered with worry as she watched Lin Xingman leave.

"Young Miss, if the Emperor finds out that the Empress came here and then ran away from home, will he blame us?"

"No, even if he had that thought, he wouldn't dare..." Lin Luoxi watched Lin Xingman leave and shook her head at Granny Yun.

Turning around, she continued to busy herself with matters concerning Lin Wentao's new house.

Seeing that Lin Luoxi was so calm, everyone else went about their own business, as if Lin Xingman had never been to Wutong Village.

Many hands make light work, and money can make the devil turn the millstone. All the materials for Lin Wentao's new house were readily available, and the new house was built in just five days.

When Tuoba Yu'er held her housewarming banquet, her elder brother Tuoba Yingqingchen arrived with Tuoba Yu'er's dowry.

The meeting between the two families was a grand occasion, as Tuoba Yu'er was marrying from the northern desert to the Chiyan Dynasty. The betrothal gifts prepared by the Lin family were all presented to Tuoba Qingchen for his inspection when he arrived.

On the way to visit relatives, Tuoba Qingchen was worried that her sister, who was pregnant out of wedlock, would be looked down upon by the Lin family. However, when she saw the betrothal gifts that the Lin family gave to Tuoba Yu'er, she saw the respect that the Lin family had for Tuoba Yu'er.

Tuoba Qingchen was very satisfied with the betrothal gifts the Lin family gave to Tuoba Yu'er, and even added a considerable amount of dowry on the spot.

Both sets of parents were very satisfied and joined in the preparations for Lin Wentao and Tuoba Yu'er's wedding.

Even Lin Wenqian, who was far away in Beijing, took leave from Xiao Jingchen and rushed back from Beijing with his family after learning that Lin Wentao was getting married.

Amidst everyone's anticipation, Lin Wentao and Tuoba Yu'er's wedding banquet finally began.

The Lin family was not short of money, and they set up a long banquet in Wutong Village. Anyone who came to the wedding banquet could eat there.

"First bow to heaven and earth, second bow to parents, third bow between husband and wife..." Just as the matchmaker led Lin Wentao and Tuoba Yu'er into the bridal chamber, Xiao Jingchen arrived with Ji Feng and the others.

"Luo Xi, Luo Xi..." As soon as Xiao Jingchen entered, his eyes began to search through the crowd.

When he didn't see his beloved wife Lin Xingman, he felt a sudden panic and hurriedly walked towards Lin Luoxi.

"Your Majesty, what brings you here?" Lin Luoxi looked at Xiao Jingchen with a puzzled expression, as if she didn't know the purpose of his visit.

"Luo Xi, have you seen Xing Man and Ze'er?" Xiao Jingchen panicked even more when he saw Lin Luo Xi's expression.

“Xingman came to me with the child, asking me to detoxify Ze’er. But after the detoxification, she said she was worried about you being alone in the capital, so she rushed back overnight.”

Upon hearing Xiao Jingcheng's words, Lin Ruoxi was shocked and flustered, and hurriedly explained to Xiao Jingcheng.

"What? She went back to the palace? I didn't see her when I came..." Xiao Jingchen didn't finish his sentence, and before he could even finish his meal, he left with Ji Feng.

"Wife, should we chase after them?" Xie Hanchuan felt a pang of sympathy for Xiao Jingchen as he hurriedly left.

"Chase, how could we not chase..." After explaining the situation to Wang Yurou and the others, Lin Luoxi and Xie Hanchuan also rode their horses and gave chase.

"Xiao Jingchen, you take the men and head back towards the capital to search. Han Chuan and I will search other places..."

"Alright!" Xiao Jingchen nodded when he saw the genuine panic on Lin Luoxi's face. He then led Jifeng and the others, galloping towards the capital.

After seeing Xiao Jingchen leave, Lin Luoxi took Xie Hanchuan and headed south.

"Honey, are we really going to go see your senior sister?" Lin Wentao hasn't even had his wedding banquet yet, is it a bit inappropriate to go out like this?

Moreover, judging from his wife's expression, she clearly knew where Lin Xingman was.

The reason she didn't say it was because she wanted to help Lin Xingman get revenge on Xiao Jingchen.

"Let's search south." Nangong Mobai has been back for so many days, and there's still no news. Lin Luoning's belly can't wait any longer; she wants to go and see what Nangong Mobai is up to.

"Okay!" Although he felt it wasn't a good idea, it wouldn't be bad to have some alone time with Lin Luoxi. Xie Hanchuan readily agreed, and the two sped off southward.

"Your Majesty?" Just after Lin Luoxi and Xie Hanchuan rode away, Xiao Jingchen and Ji Feng emerged from the woods.

He had overheard Lin Luoxi and Xie Hanchuan's conversation, which lessened his suspicions about Lin Luoxi considerably.
