Concubine An came to the Queen's Kunning Palace and had a few hypocritical words with the Queen. The conversation turned to the King of Qin.
Concubine An smiled and said, "Chengjin will arrive in Beiyuan in two days. He's only been away from Shangjing for five days, and I already miss him! I don't know if he's in danger along the way! I heard from His Majesty that someone sent assassins to assassinate him! Fortunately, my son is lucky and has the protection of the secret guards sent by His Majesty. I believe he will be able to reach Beiyuan safely!"
The Queen was shocked. "Who is so bold as to assassinate the King of Qin? Your Majesty, do you know who sent these assassins?"
Concubine An chuckled and said, "His Majesty is very angry! He said that even though Cheng Jin has left the capital, there are still people who want to take his life! His Majesty said that if he finds out who wants Cheng Jin's life, his entire family will be executed! His entire clan will be exterminated!"
The queen took a sip of the teacup to hide her guilty conscience!
Concubine An stood up and said, "Oh! Your Majesty will come to Yihuan Palace later, so I can't accompany the Queen!"
After Concubine An left, the Empress immediately sent someone to inform the Prime Minister and the Crown Prince not to pursue the King of Qin anymore, because Emperor Wen already knew about it!
Two days later, the armies of King Qin and Luo Jing successfully arrived at Beiyuan.
During these few days, Luo Lingyue has been pestering Luo Lingliu, the God of Wealth of the General's Mansion.
Luo Lingliu was the second child, managing all the properties and businesses within the General's Mansion. He was a business prodigy, and within a few years of taking over the Luo family's business, he had become the richest man in Shangjing City!
He also plans to extend his business to every corner of Dazhao Country.
Luo Lingyue was outside the window of his room, knocking on it with her hand: "Second brother! You have so many shops, just give me one! I only need one!"
Luo Lingliu's voice rang out from the house: "You mean just one room? You want my whole building! Why don't you go to Dragon Bone Mountain and become a bandit!"
Luo Lingyue pouted and said, "The bandits in Dragon Bone Mountain were all wiped out by Dark Moon Fairy! How can you be so stingy! A building is nothing to you, the richest man in Shangjing!"
Luo Lingliu's voice was filled with anger: "Luo Xiaoqi! Do you know how many people I have to support? Thirty percent of my earnings go to subsidize the soldiers in the Luo Family Army! What do you, a little girl, know?"
Luo Lingyue was a little surprised after hearing this. She didn't expect that her second brother, who was usually stingy, would be so generous to the Luo family army.
So she thought about it and said, "Second brother, let's consider this building a joint business. We'll split it 50-50! After three months, if we don't make any money, I'll return it to you!"
Luo Lingliu opened the window, and Luo Lingyue stuck her little head in: "Second brother, is this okay?"
Luo Lingliu looked at her twinkling almond-shaped eyes and said with a stern face, "Then three months. I'm going to Jiangnan tomorrow. If I don't see the money you've earned when I come back, I'll take back my building!"
Luo Lingyue suddenly remembered what was written in the book: Luo Lingliu's destined love was in Jiangnan. Could it be that this business trip to Jiangnan was the reason she met her ideal love?
Luo Lingyue's large almond-shaped eyes curved into crescents as she smiled: "Second brother, when you go to Jiangnan, remember to bring a second sister-in-law back with you! You can even marry into the woman's family. After all, the Luo family doesn't need a son like you!"
Luo Lingliu smacked her on the head with a slap on the head: "Haha! Do you want to take over my property?"
Luo Lingyue touched her head, which had been hurt by the blow. "I'm afraid you'll end up single! Look, Third Brother is younger than you and already has a family. What about you? Can all that gold of yours keep you from feeling lonely and empty?"
Luo Lingliu was so angry that he jumped out of the window and wanted to beat Luo Lingyue up.
Luo Lingyue screamed at the top of her lungs: "Sister-in-law! Third brother! Third sister-in-law! Mother! Second brother is going to kill me!"
An embroidered shoe, carrying a sharp gust of wind, hit Luo Lingliu directly on the head! Luo Lingliu saw stars!
The eldest sister-in-law, Chen Manting, was standing in the yard with one of her embroidered shoes missing. She yelled, "Second brother! Do you want to experience my whip?"
Luo Lingliu said dejectedly, "Sister-in-law! Don't listen to Xiaoqi's yelling! How could I possibly hit Xiaoqi?"
Luo Lingzhang and the Sixth Princess walked in. Luo Lingzhang's face was long: "Second brother! Before father left, he told us to take good care of Xiaoqi! You are not young anymore. Is your temper so bad because you haven't found a beautiful bride? The other day, matchmaker Zhang was trying to match you up, but you were still trying to resist! Could it be that you are...?"
Luo Lingliu rolled her eyes. Here she goes again! People who don't know her would think Luo Lingzhang is her older brother. Every time she catches him, she lectures him! Now they're even questioning his sexual orientation! After all, he's the famous Boss Luo!
But he didn't dare to say anything, fearing that Luo Lingzhang would lecture him all day! This top scholar didn't even use a single curse word when cursing!
"My dear Xiaoqi! My dear second brother! You want to kill your sister? Just stab my heart with a knife! Why did I give birth to a person like you who has no regard for family affection? It's my fault! Master! As soon as you go to Beiyuan, my second brother will kill Xiaoqi!" Madam Luo An Qingyi burst into tears!
Luo Lingliu's handsome face was distorted, and the corners of his mouth twitched as he said to Luo Lingyue: "The deed to that building is a gift to you!"
Luo Lingyue immediately ran to An Qingyi's side: "Mother! Second brother was joking with me! Look, he gave me a building!"
An Qingyi turned around and asked softly: "Is it enough? If not, I'll cry again!"
Luo Lingyue raised the corner of her eyes, and An Qingyi immediately understood and continued to cry: "Oh my God! I'm a bad parent!"
Luo Lingliu shouted: "Add the South Street Restaurant!"
Luo Lingyue smiled brightly: "Thank you, second brother! When you go to Jiangnan this time, you will definitely find a beautiful and capable second sister-in-law!"
Luo Lingliu felt a pang of pain in her heart. If she had known that she would have to pay for the restaurant, she should not have provoked this little ancestor!
During lunch, Luo Lingliu had a long face. The others were laughing and chatting, when suddenly a large chicken drumstick was placed in Luo Lingliu's bowl.
Luo Lingyue's brightly smiling face showed a flattering look: "Second brother! This is your favorite big chicken drumstick! Mother said you like spicy food, so this is cooked with a secret spicy sauce! Come and try it!"
An Qingyi looked at Luo Lingliu with gentle eyes: "Second brother, you are busy with business every day and rarely come home for dinner. This table of dishes was prepared by your mother and sister-in-law according to your taste!"
Luo Lingliu felt a pang of pain in her heart. Everyone in the Luo family valued family affection very much. The occasional quarrels at home were just for fun.
He raised his fair face and said, "These dishes are very spicy. I wonder if the Sixth Princess will be uncomfortable with them?"
Chu Qingrui's gentle and lovely face was filled with a bright smile: "Second brother, just call me Qingrui. We are all family. Calling me princess is too strange! These dishes have been washed in my husband's soup bowl, so they are not spicy!"
Luo Lingzhang put each dish into his own soup bowl and washed the chili peppers and put them in Qingrui's bowl.
An Qingyi said with some guilt: "Qingrui! Mom was only thinking about making the second child happy and forgot that you don't like spicy food. I'll ask the kitchen to make you some lighter dishes."
Chu Qingrui smiled and said, "Mom! Don't bother. My husband likes spicy food, and I'm going to try to adapt to his taste!"
Luo Lingzhang's jade-like face was always smiling. He picked up the soup that Chu Qingrui had washed the peppers with and drank it in one gulp! Ugh! Not spicy...
