Chapter 573 Extra: Not Scolding the Son at the Dinner Table
"I didn't expect to encounter refugees on the road," Li Muqing said softly, completely forgetting her tears after being scolded by Lin Luoxi.
"You didn't expect to encounter those refugees, but you didn't expect that they would not only be ungrateful but also repay kindness with enmity."
"Human nature makes it difficult to resist the temptation of money in difficult circumstances, which is why the old man said that wealth should not be flaunted."
"When you're out in the world, you should never show your goodwill unless you have absolute strength."
"Alright, consider this a lesson learned. Learn from it and remember to bring more guards when you go out next time!"
"The main problem is that your guards are not up to par. Since you're here, let Lin Er and the others train them. Once they're capable of handling things on their own, I'll send them back to you."
Lin Luoxi glanced at the guards standing awkwardly in the courtyard, her brows furrowing slightly.
"Then thank you, Second Sister." Although Lin Luoxi's words were unpleasant, Li Muqing felt much better.
"Don't be shy, go wash up. I've prepared a welcome feast for you." Seeing that Li Muqing had finally stopped crying, Lin Luoxi breathed a sigh of relief.
"Little sister, since you're planning to train these guards for me, why don't you ask Lin Luoxi to train a powerful team of guards for me?" Lin Wenqian wanted Lin Luoxi to train a team of guards for him.
"Brother, let's talk about these things later. You should go and keep your sister-in-law and the child company first. Otherwise, once you go back in a couple of days, it will be difficult to see each other again."
When Lin Luoxi saw Lin Wenqian shamelessly making demands, she immediately slapped him away, interrupting him.
"I didn't say I was going back so soon!" Lin Wenqian immediately retorted, understanding the implication in Lin Luoxi's words.
"If you don't go back soon, Xiao Jingchen will probably come to kill you. For the sake of peace in our area, brother, you should go back in a couple of days!"
“Otherwise, sister-in-law, you can stay and go back by yourself. My sister-in-law hasn’t been back to live here for a long time. This time, let her stay a little longer. There’s everything at home, so you don’t need to worry.”
Lin Luoxi thought of Li Muqing's expression and decided to let Li Muqing stay in Qingshan City for a while longer so she could observe her closely.
"Ah!" Lin Wenqian felt miserable when he saw that Lin Luoxi had arranged everything.
Why can everyone else stay in their hometowns, but he has to go to Beijing alone to make a living?
Now he finally understands Xiao Jingchen's desire for freedom.
The thought of this made him feel terrible.
"Princess, the meal is ready, but has it been served yet?" Just as Lin Wenqian was lost in thought, the kitchen manager came to deliver the message.
"Okay, you can send it now." Seeing Lin Wenqian's bad mood made Lin Luoxi feel much better.
Instruct the servants to go to other courtyards and invite Li Muqing, Lin Yunyuan, Lin Yunze, Xiao Yize, and Shandian to come over for dinner.
"Mother..." Xie Zhili, Xie Zhiyan, Xie Zhiheng, Xie Zhichu, and Xie Leyao, the five quintuplets, pulled Xiao Yize, Lin Yunyuan, and Lin Yunze over.
"Hmm, you guys are playing together so quickly?" Lin Luoxi was quite happy to see the children coming in hand in hand.
I originally thought that since they hadn't seen each other for so long, it would take them some time to get to know each other again, but to my surprise, these kids became friends so quickly.
"Now that you're all familiar with each other, you'll be in charge of Xiao Yize, Lin Yunyuan, and Lin Yunze's studies." Seeing the children getting along so well, Lin Luoxi simply handed the three of them over to Xie Zhili's quintuplets.
"Mother, no problem, we've got it covered." Xie Zhili, unaware of the seriousness of the situation, patted his chest and assured her.
"Yes, yes, I'm at ease leaving my older and younger cousins in your care." Seeing Xie Zhili's assurance, Lin Wenqian stopped feeling depressed and revealed a sly smile.
"Alright, now that everyone's washed up, let's eat together!"
When Lin Luoxi saw Li Muqing come out, she walked over, took Li Muqing's hand, and headed towards the dining hall.
On the way, Lin Luoxi spoke intimately with Li Muqing, but her hand was on Li Muqing's pulse.
It seems my sister-in-law has been quite upset by her two children these past few years, leading to liver qi stagnation and breast hyperplasia…
Although it's not a serious illness, you still need to take care of it.
"Sister-in-law, since you're here this time, why don't you stay at home for a while? I'll help you take care of your health," Lin Luoxi said to Li Muqing with a smile.
"Yes, that's what I was thinking when I came here this time. These past few years, I've often felt short of breath and unable to breathe properly because of these two kids."
"Especially here, it hurts from time to time, I always thought I was going to get a serious illness!" He whispered the last sentence in Lin Luoxi's ear.
But everyone present was a martial artist, and they all listened to Li Muqing's words.
"Wife, if you're feeling unwell, why didn't you tell me..." Lin Wenqian stepped forward with a worried expression.
"How can I put it? You're so busy every day that you don't even have time to rest. When we go to sleep, you're still not back. When we wake up, you've already gone out. We haven't even seen a shadow of you."
Seeing Lin Wenqian approach, Li Muqing couldn't control her anger any longer, and it flared up again.
Seeing Li Muqing's anger rising, Lin Wenqian quickly took two steps back, not daring to get any closer to her.
"Sister-in-law, given your current physical condition, try not to get angry and try to control your emotions."
"Now that your two nephews have been brought here, you can rest assured and focus on recuperating here."
Seeing Li Muqing's temper flare up, Lin Luoxi was speechless and immediately told Li Muqing to calm down.
Thinking of my once gentle and kind sister-in-law, now driven to this state by her child, I can't help but feel sorry for her.
Fortunately, she never had to worry about the children; otherwise, she would have beaten them to death.
"Auntie, your family's food is still the best." At the dinner table, Lin Yunyuan and Lin Yunze were wolfing down the lobster.
"Yes, I think so too." Although Xiao Yize didn't wolf down his food like Lin Yunyuan, he ate the lobster with elegance and speed.
"Lin Yunyuan, Lin Yunze, can you two eat a little slower? It's like we haven't fed you!"
Li Muqing watched her own son eat like a starving ghost, while Luo Xi's children ate their meals elegantly, which was a pleasant sight to behold. She couldn't help but say a few words about her own child.
“Yes! Look at how Zhili and the others are eating, and then look at you two…” Lin Wenqian looked at his children’s eating habits and didn’t know what to say.
"Brother, that's enough, no scolding the son at the dinner table."
"From now on, Yunyuan and Yunze will train with Zhili and the others. They will definitely impress you, right, Yunyuan and Yunze?"
Lin Luoxi was afraid that the couple would get too carried away and quickly interrupted them.
"Yes, Auntie is right."
