Chapter 152 Yan Shaoqun Wants Lin Luoxi to Be His Concubine
"I'm sorry to have worried you. Thank you for your hard work."
Meng Huai'an sensed Yan Shaoqun's worries and concerns over the past few days, and patted Yan Shaoqun on the back to comfort him.
Seeing the stubble on Yan Shaoqun's chin, one can tell that Yan Shaoqun has probably suffered a lot these past few days while searching for him.
I am also grateful to have met such a good friend in my lifetime; I am content.
"Since there's nothing for us to do, we'll head back now." Lin Luoxi rolled her eyes and smirked as she watched Yan Shaoqun and Meng Huai'an, two grown men, embrace each other warmly. She felt she wasn't suited for this kind of sentimental atmosphere.
Realizing that staying any longer was inappropriate, I spoke up at the right time.
"Wait, Miss Lin." Meng Huai'an hurriedly called out to Lin Luoxi as she turned to leave.
When Yan Shaoqun saw Meng Huai'an call out to Lin Luoxi, he also stood aside curiously, watching to see what Meng Huai'an was planning to do.
"Is there anything else you need, Young Master Meng?" Lin Luoxi, who was suddenly called out, turned her head curiously.
She was extremely impatient. Why did this plague cause so much trouble? She should just leave so she wouldn't have to worry about taking care of her.
"I'll keep my promise to you regarding the payment I gave you," Meng Huai'an said, shamelessly reaching out his hand to Yan Shaoqun.
The moment she heard about the reward, her impatience vanished instantly; it was as if the God of Wealth had come to bring her riches.
I don't know how much Meng Huai'an will give this time, but the more the better.
"What are you doing?" Yan Shaoqun was still confused. Seeing the hand stretched out in front of him, he asked, completely bewildered.
"Give me all the silver you have, as much as you have, consider it a loan." Meng Huai'an, seeing Lin Luo's greedy eyes fixed on him, seemed to be bewitched and asked Yan Shaoqun for money.
"Oh, oh..." Upon hearing that it was a reward for saving his life, Yan Shaoqun quickly reached into his pocket.
Fortunately, because he had been doing business for many years, he was used to carrying money with him, and soon he took out a stack of banknotes.
Just as he was about to count out a few, Meng Huai'an snatched them away.
Meng Huai'an held a thick stack of silver notes in both hands. Seeing Lin Luoxi's greedy eyes, he seemed to be bewitched and stuffed all the silver notes in his hands into Lin Luoxi's hands.
"Here, this is the reward I promised you." After saying that, he stood in front of Lin Luoxi, waiting patiently for the look of surprise, shock, and helplessness to appear on her face.
Indeed, Lin Luoxi gasped when she saw that all the silver notes were worth a thousand taels.
Forgive her for speaking a little loudly just now. This is not a plague god, but a god of wealth. When she gets back, she must properly enshrine this god of wealth and worship him with three sticks of incense every day.
"Brother Huai'an, isn't this a bit too much?" After all, that stack of silver notes is worth nearly 100,000 taels, enough for an ordinary family to live on for ten lifetimes.
"Not much? Isn't my life worth that little bit of money?" Actually, Meng Huai'an felt a little heartache.
But seeing Lin Luoxi's adorable money-grubbing appearance, he didn't think that feeling of heartache was anything.
"Worth it, worth it..." Does he dare say it's not worth it? Hmph, all he knows is to threaten him with his status.
The thought of losing nearly 100,000 taels of silver instantly dampened the initial excitement and joy of finding Meng Huai'an.
If Meng Huai'an knew that money was more important to Yan Shaoqun than him, he would be furious.
"Young Master Meng, thank you. From now on, we're even." Lin Luoxi accepted the stack of silver notes with a clear conscience, after all, the spiritual dew with its miraculous medicinal effects couldn't be bought with money alone.
She used a lot of spirit dew water to help Meng Huai'an and Zhao Fengyang recover quickly, so she thought she hadn't charged them much.
No, next time I save someone, the reward will have to be increased to afford her spiritual dew.
Without waiting for Meng Huai'an to change his mind, Lin Luoxi put away the silver notes, waved to Meng Huai'an, Yan Shaoqun, Zhao Fengyang and the others, and left.
"I never expected this woman to be so greedy." Seeing Lin Luoxi accept the nearly 100,000 taels of silver notes without any politeness and without saying a word of thanks, Yan Shaoqun instantly lost his goodwill towards Lin Luoxi.
“You’ve misunderstood him. To be honest, that amount of silver notes was actually too little…” Upon hearing Yan Shaoqun’s words, Meng Huai’an immediately spoke up in defense of Lin Luoxi.
"You mean the reason you recovered so quickly is entirely thanks to that Miss Lin?" Yan Shaoqun still didn't quite believe Meng Huai'an's words, thinking that Meng Huai'an must have been swayed by her beauty.
Aside from her love of money, Miss Ma Ling was no less beautiful than the noble ladies of the capital, and even possessed a more stunning aura than them.
"You don't believe me?" After all, they were friends for many years, and Meng Huai'an could tell from the expression on Yan Shaoqun's face that he didn't believe what he said.
"Fengyang, take off your shirt." To prove Lin Ruoxi's exceptional abilities, Meng Huai'an told Zhao Fengyang, who was standing next to him, to take off his shirt.
Zhao Fengyang looked surprised upon hearing Meng Huai'an's words.
No way? What kind of fetish does its owner have that would make him strip naked in front of everyone?
What kind of karma has he created? If he wanted to prove that Miss Lin's medical skills were amazing, why didn't he take off his clothes himself?
Zhao Fengyang was inwardly bitter. Because the other party was his master, he dared not protest at all and could only pretend not to hear and stand there without moving.
"Hurry up! Can't you see that our young master Yan is suspicious of Miss Lin's medical skills?" Meng Huai'an urged, seeing Zhao Fengyang's expression as chaste and virtuous as a woman who would rather die than be dishonored.
"Young Master Yan, please follow me." Hmph, if he wants to see if Miss Lin's medical skills are up to par, then let's listen to him. Zhao Fengyang told Yan Shaoqun to follow him to the cave behind the big tree.
Seeing Meng Huai'an's confident expression, Yan Shaoqun was also curious about whether the young lady Lin's medical skills were really as Meng Huai'an said, so he obediently followed her.
Not long after, he came out looking shocked.
"Since Miss Lin has such abilities, Brother Huai'an, do you have any thoughts?"
She's just a woman. If we give her a title, wouldn't her superb medical skills be useful to them?
The best way Yan Shaoqun could think of to win over a woman was to tie her to the same rope.
Ultimately, Yan Shaoqun still looked down on women a bit. No matter how capable a woman was, she couldn't live without a man. He believed that women had to depend on men to live.
“You’re wrong. Miss Lin is no ordinary girl. The old methods won’t work,” Meng Huai’an rejected Yan Shaoqun’s suggestion.
Lin Luoxi has her own ideas and opinions. If she is not careful, the household will be in chaos, and that would be a great loss.
