"Yeah, you're right, the meat has grown thicker."
Xiao Lingyu gently pinched Su Ningjie's cheek.
Before we knew it, the child had grown plump.
He was no longer the skinny boy she had been when she first met him.
Su Ningjie stretched out his arms, "Mom, please pinch my arms again. My little waist is full of thick flesh, please pinch it."
Small thick waist?
"Hahaha..." Xiao Lingyu couldn't help but chuckle, "Mom knows you've gained weight, but you have to exercise and don't eat too much and end up with a big belly."
When Su Ningjie heard this, Zhang Sanzhu's big belly flashed through his mind and his heart trembled.
So ugly!
He would never allow himself to eat too much.
"Don't worry, mother. My third brother and I will never get fat from eating too much. But as for my eldest brother... it's a little risky."
The plump and chubby figure of Su Ning'an instantly appeared in front of Xiao Lingyu, and his brows softened unconsciously. "Your elder brother won't do that. He's fat and well-proportioned!"
Although Suning'an has a big appetite, he digests food quickly, has great strength, and exercises a lot, so he won't grow too fat.
He has firm flesh all over his body and is a healthy little fat boy.
"Mother." Little Xier walked over and naturally held Xiao Lingyu's hand, looking up and saying in a baby voice, "When will Daddy and Big Brother arrive tomorrow?"
Xiao Lingyu glanced at the sky. Father and son were almost done with their work by then. "They'll come by boat early tomorrow morning and should be here before noon."
Su Ningjie said, "Mother, we will pick them up at the dock tomorrow with lunch, and then go directly to Shili Langyao."
"good!"
"Zeyi, why didn't you send someone to inform me before you took action?"
Cui Zhehan looked at Lu Zeyi with bruises on his face, feeling disappointed.
"Uncle, I was careless this time. I didn't guard against the Si family. I didn't want to end up in this situation today."
Cui Zhehan's face turned pale when he heard this: "Ever since your eldest nephew was found, you have to be wary of the Si family! You are still too soft-hearted. You should have spared no one back then. Now the entire Lu family belongs to you!"
It also belongs to Cui Zhehan!
Now, to take down the Lu family, we have to make new arrangements!
However, it is not easy for the second prince to ascend to the throne and take over the Lu family!
"Uncle, perhaps I am not destined to be the Patriarch of the Lu Family!"
Lu Zeyi knew that even if he inherited the entire Lu family, he would still be controlled by the Cui family!
"You..." Cui Zhehan put the teacup heavily on the table in anger, "How could my niece fall for a loser like you!"
Lu Zeyi sneered in his heart: You are capable, but you still have to watch your niece die and be powerless to do anything!
Cui Zhehan was furious, and Lu Zeyi stood there obediently like a child who had done something wrong, allowing him to beat and scold him without talking back.
Cui Zhehan felt like he was hitting cotton with a heavy punch. He was so angry that he had to drink tea to calm himself down.
After a long pause, he said, "Whether you are dividing the family business or the management of the shop is taken back, the mine work cannot be delayed. We need another thousand tons after the spring."
"Uncle, don't worry, this matter won't be delayed, it won't cause any major problems, it's just..."
Cui Zhehan frowned, "Is there anything else that cannot be said?"
"Even with the amount of mining in the mine, if we continue mining at this rate, the mountain range will be almost completely mined within five years. If we continue mining at the same rate as in previous years, I'm afraid it will be easy for the government to notice."
Cui Zhehan said: "You don't have to worry about this. Our great cause is almost complete. It won't take five years."
The weapons made from the smuggling in recent years are enough for the Second Prince to start a rebellion.
After taking his leave, Lu Zeyi returned to the Lu Mansion in Lihua Lane in the east of the city, and the carriage drove in through the side door.
The mansion is slightly smaller than the ancestral home.
The ancestral home is low-key and introverted, while this place is a bit ostentatious and luxurious.
This was bought by Lu Zeyi a few years ago. There are always servants to take care of it. You can move in overnight and move in directly with your luggage.
"Master, I went to the Chen family but couldn't find anyone." Lu Ze Yichang followed Yun Zhou and came forward. "I guess the old man hasn't released the person yet."
There was a hint of worry on Lu Zeyi's face. What if Lu Yao didn't wake up, or went crazy and killed Chen Ji?
It’s not easy for him to cultivate another confidant!
"Go to the Chen family again tomorrow. If he still hasn't come back, go to Shili Langyao to find out what's going on."
Yun Zhou nodded, "Yes, Master."
"Master!" Ling Xiao entered Si Chuyu's study. "Today at 3 p.m., Lu Zeyi went to the teahouse to meet Cui Zhehan. There were guards at the door, so I couldn't find out what they said, but Cui Zhehan left in a rage!"
Si Chuyu said: "It's nothing more than a matter of dividing the family. It's somewhat inconvenient for the Cui family, especially the iron mine issue."
Ling Xiao said, "Lu Zeyi can't just go to the mine anymore. Chen Ji is still in our hands, so the Cui family can't smuggle anymore."
"As for those twenty miners, Lu Zeyi will find a way, but the Cui family won't have the chance to smuggle iron ore anymore... Keep an eye on Lu Zeyi. Cui Zhehan will let them hang around for a few days..."
The hour of Hai.
"Xiao Xi'er, you should go to bed soon. It's very late."
"Mom, I'm not sleepy yet. Can you tell me a story more interesting than Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs? I promise I'll fall asleep right after you finish it, like the one you said, okay?"
Xiao Lingyu held her forehead with her hand. It was all her fault. She told Xiao Xier a bedtime story on a whim.
"Okay, I'll tell you one more. Don't play tricks after you finish listening. Go to sleep."
"Yeah, I won't cheat."
"Then let me tell you the story of Sleeping Beauty... A long, long time ago, in a country far, far away, a beloved and beloved Princess Rose was born. The palace held a grand banquet to reward the courtiers, and the Emperor and Empress even invited twelve highly respected elders to offer their blessings to the little princess..."
Xiao Lingyu embellished the story a little and told Xiao Xier the story of Sleeping Beauty in a vivid way. The door was gently pushed open, and the mother and daughter were completely unaware of it.
A quarter of an hour later, Xiao Xier closed her eyes and fell asleep instantly in Xiao Lingyu's arms.
"Xiao Xi'er, wake up, mother will tell you another story."
She was answered by heavy breathing.
Seeing this, Xiao Lingyu scratched her little upturned nose lovingly.
I stood up and walked to the clothes rack, and a familiar smell came from behind me.
Before I could even turn around, I was pulled into a familiar embrace...
Su Xingyi put his mouth close to her ear and whispered, "Xiao Yu, I'm back..."
Xiao Lingyu turned around, looked at his slightly tired face, and held his face in her hands. "Why did you rush back so late at night? Why don't you stay at Luoxia Cottage for one night?"
Su Xingyi held her wrist and said, "Because I miss you..."
Xiao Lingyu smiled and stood on tiptoe to kiss him.
"Don't do this." Su Xingyi quickly pressed his hand on her lips to stop her.
Xiao Lingyu: ...
Xiao Lingyu suddenly felt ashamed and a little angry.
Su Xingyi noticed Xiao Lingyu's expression change, and hurriedly said, "I just heard you tell the story of Sleeping Beauty. I want to kiss you like the prince in the story..."
