The seventh brother glared at Lan Linxue with some resentment, and after a long while, he squeezed out a sentence through gritted teeth: "If you dare to rob me, I dare to call someone a robber!"
Upon hearing this, Lan Linxue immediately jumped up and down, "You little brat! You even dare to bully me! Men, pin Seventh Brother to the ground! Seize the silver notes!"
Upon hearing this, the seventh brother immediately jumped back a large step, then held up the silver notes and shouted, "Who dares to come over? If you do, I'll go to Master Qin and complain that you robbed us!"
Gui Tou and the others stared at Lao Qi with blank expressions, not even moving a hair.
Isn't Lao Qi overthinking things? They had no intention of getting involved at all, okay?
When Lan Linxue heard that Lao Qi was going to complain to Qin Kou'er, and that Gui Tou and the others weren't moving at all, she immediately shouted, "Fine! Fine! Fine! The silver notes are yours! Okay? I won't rob you anymore!"
With that, Lan Linxue turned and walked forward, saying smugly, "Come on, I'll treat you to a meal! I'm a rich man now!"
Upon hearing that there was food to eat, the people below immediately followed Lan Linxue forward.
Taking advantage of Lao Qi's momentary lapse in attention, Lan Linxue turned around, pounced on him, and snatched back the silver notes that Lao Qi hadn't had time to put away.
"Grandpa! You're being a scoundrel!" the seventh brother cried out, still on the ground, feeling wronged.
Lan Linxue stood up gracefully, touching the silver notes with great delight, and said proudly, "How can I let you keep the money that my wife gave me! You all smell bad, but these silver notes smell good!"
As she spoke, Lan Linxue carefully sniffed it and found that there was no smell, so she insisted that it was Lao Qi who had ruined it and made it smell bad.
The group that had originally planned to go out to eat changed their minds and went to Courtyard No. 2 instead because Lan Linxue cherished the silver notes so much.
The seventh brother was furious. If he had known this would happen, he would have just put it in his shoe as an insole. That way, Lan Linxue would never have taken it away, no matter what.
A large group of people walked towards Courtyard No. 2.
This is a very spacious, yet very unassuming courtyard. Looking at its entrance and the courtyard itself, it's hard to believe that this is a place that can easily accommodate five hundred people.
The ghost went up and knocked on the door, and soon the courtyard gate was opened.
As soon as the door opened, Shuanghua's impatient face appeared: "Why are you taking so long?"
Gui Tou glanced at him and asked only one question: "Is there any food left at home?"
Shuanghua opened the door, letting the group of people in. Then, seeing Lan Linxue beaming with joy, she said irritably, "There's still food! It's just cold!"
Upon hearing Shuanghua's words, Lan Linxue immediately retorted, "Why don't you hurry up and heat it up? You're all becoming more and more unruly!"
Lan Linxue strode inside, with servants and guards on both sides of the courtyard. Upon seeing him, they all knelt down and bowed.
Just then, a gentle and graceful woman came out from inside. Upon seeing Lan Linxue, she quickly bowed and said softly, "This humble fairy greets Master!"
Every time Lan Linxue saw Xiaoxian, she couldn't help but turn to look at Guitou. She couldn't understand why such a gentle flower like Xiaoxian would fall for such a rough man like Guitou.
"Little Fairy, wake up! You've been busy all day. Come and have dinner with us in a bit!"
"yes!"
As she spoke, Xiao Xian stood up and instructed the people below to hurry up and make preparations.
Lan Linxue's habit is to take a shower and change clothes before entering the house; otherwise, she won't do anything.
After the servants helped him wash up and change his clothes, the food was already laid out when he came out.
Lan Linxue looked at the table full of food and expressed his satisfaction. Since they were out, he didn't say much and waved to the others, "Come on over, let's eat together!"
The people below immediately responded, and after Lan Linxue took her seat, they all sat down according to the rules.
Xiao Xian and her entourage were serving them down below.
Lan Linxue nodded as she ate, "Mmm, the chef's skills are excellent! The food today is delicious. Xiaoxian's management skills are getting better and better!"
The little fairy smiled shyly: "Master is too kind! It was only within my ability!"
At this point, Xiao Xian looked up at Lan Linxue, as if she wanted to say something, but hesitated.
Lan Linxue was eating with her head down and didn't notice, but Gui Tou, who paid extra attention to his wife, saw it but just shook his head slightly.
Frostflower, standing close to Ghost Head, noticed this small detail and couldn't help but look at Little Fairy and ask in a cold voice, "Little Fairy, is something the matter?"
Lan Linxue looked up when Shuanghua asked her question, and sure enough, she saw that Xiaoxian looked like she wanted to say something but hesitated.
"Hmm? Little Fairy, is something really wrong? If so, just say it!"
Lan Linxue was in a good mood today, so he asked directly. Otherwise, he would never have asked on ordinary days, because Xiaoxian would always talk about internal affairs, which Shuanghua would handle, and he didn't care at all.
Seeing that Shuanghua had also asked, Xiaoxian immediately smiled and whispered, "Actually, it's nothing. I just wanted to ask Master when the money for our children's school will arrive these past few months!"
After Xiaoxian finished speaking, she immediately lowered her head, her face turning bright red.
She really couldn't bring herself to ask her master for money, but after several months without any money coming in, she was truly in dire financial straits and her children were going to go hungry.
Upon hearing this, Lan Linxue's face immediately darkened.
Upon seeing this, Gui Tou slammed his chopsticks down on the table, turned to his wife, and said, "Why are you saying these things in front of the master! Get down here immediately!"
