Chapter 260 Xiao Jingchen invited a renowned scholar and his son to help Lin Wenqian and the others.
“Yes, your sister is not short of money now. The family is better off, so we need to hire people to cook. We can’t let Mom work so hard.” Lin Luoxi nodded seriously.
"Wouldn't that mean I'd have to live the life of a young lady?" Lin Luoning really couldn't bear to imagine what it would be like for her to live that kind of life.
"Yes, yes, then you'll be our little princess, so you'll have to study even harder and complete the assignments I give you."
"Otherwise, if people address you respectfully as 'Miss' to your face but talk about you as a good-for-nothing behind your back, that won't do." Lin Luoxi didn't want her family members to become complacent just because their circumstances had improved.
"Yes, yes, I definitely won't let my sister down." Lin Luoning has lived a second life, so how could she not understand this?
In this life, her older sister is still alive and incredibly powerful. She must seize this opportunity to become just as powerful.
"Yes, this is my sister, Lin Luoxi." Seeing how sensible Lin Luoning was, Lin Luoxi truly felt that all her hard work was worthwhile.
Half an hour later, it finally quieted down outside.
A short while later, Zhao Ximo and the other three entered.
As soon as Zhao Ximo came in, she recounted the argument she had just had with Old Mrs. Lin to Lin Luoxi, gesturing excitedly as if the four of them had triumphed over the difficult Old Mrs. Lin.
"Hmm, not bad, I didn't misjudge them." Lin Luoxi praised the four girls as they excitedly recounted what had happened at the courtyard gate.
"Next time, when you can take action, don't waste time and breath," Lin Luoxi added, seeing that the four girls' excitement hadn't subsided.
"Miss, can we still do it?" Zhao Ximo looked at Lin Luoxi expectantly.
To be honest, when she was arguing with that old lady Lin today, she really wanted to hit her, but she was afraid that her mistress wouldn't allow it, so she could only endure it and argue with the old lady for half an hour.
"Of course, we can use whatever method can deter them." Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures.
"Back then, I..." Lin Luoxi couldn't help but laugh when she saw Zhao Ximeng looking at her expectantly.
This girl's personality is a bit like hers, so she explained to Zhao Ximo and the others how she dealt with Old Man Lin's family and the methods used by those jealous people in the village.
"Hearing you say that, Miss, I'd better practice my martial arts properly. That way, I can save a lot of effort when dealing with people like this in the future." Zhao Ximo couldn't help but rub her hands together eagerly after hearing Lin Luoxi talk about her great achievements.
"Alright, it's getting late. Grandpa is probably waiting for you on the mountain. Hurry up and get ready to leave, or you'll be late and Grandpa will punish you, and you'll be crying."
Lin Luoxi hadn't forgotten that Zhao Ximo and the others were going up the mountain to practice martial arts today, so she quickly urged them to leave.
“But Miss, how can we feel at ease with you in this state?” Zhao Ximo also wanted to go, but she knew the current situation and looked troubled.
"Alright, I'm much better off than yesterday. I can get up now, so I don't need you to serve me."
"The most important thing for you now is to study hard while you are still young, and not to cheat or be lazy. It will be too late to regret it when you get older."
Without letting Zhao Ximo and the other three utter any more words, Lin Luoxi directly ordered Lin Luoning to drag the four of them out.
Lin Luoning pulled Zhao Ximo and the other three towards the back mountain, and the room finally became quiet.
Before Lin Luoxi could even feel happy, Madam Lin led Old Man Li and Ji Feng in again.
"How are you feeling now, Lin girl?" Old Man Li asked with concern before even sitting down.
Ji Feng, standing behind her, also looked Lin Luoxi up and down with concern. When he saw that Lin Luoxi's complexion had improved, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Yesterday, Lin Jize learned that Lin Luoxi was so badly injured because of his master, so he didn't talk to his master much after returning home and deliberately avoided him.
Lin Jize could understand, so when Old Man Li came to examine Lin Luoxi's pulse today, he also wanted to check on Lin Luoxi's condition.
If Lin Luoxi's condition can improve quickly, then the relationship between her master and Lin Jize might also ease somewhat.
"Grandpa Li, I'm much better now." Although she said that, Lin Luoxi deliberately used her internal energy to disrupt her pulse, so that when the old man Li took her pulse, he wouldn't discover the truth that she was almost fully recovered.
"Hmm, much better than yesterday." Old Man Li could only tell from Lin Ruoxi's pulse that her condition was better today than yesterday.
"Right, I know my own body a little better." Lin Luoxi coughed lightly twice, indicating that her lungs were still a little uncomfortable.
"Don't you have some fragments? Brew a little and drink it every day. It will help you recover faster than if I prescribe some anti-inflammatory and analgesic medication to treat your heart and lungs."
Old Man Li still doesn't like the exhausted Lin Luoxi now; he still prefers the arrogant Lin Luoxi from a few days ago.
They suggested that Lin Luoxi continue taking ginseng, which would help her recover faster.
"Okay, I understand." Lin Luoxi nodded obediently.
Having taken Ji Feng's pulse and explained everything, Old Man Li found there was nothing more to say, so he left with Ji Feng.
After spending the morning in the room as a patient, Zhao Ximo asked Lin Wenqian and Lin Wentao to come in when Lin Wenqian and the others returned from their morning exercise.
She explained that her condition had delayed their trip to the private school yesterday, but today, no matter what, the two of them were determined to go.
Lin Wenqian and Li Wentao, who had been prepared in advance, also knew that Lin Ruoxi's condition was improving and nodded, indicating that they would set off after breakfast.
When Lin Luoxi's room returned to calm, an uninvited guest arrived.
"I overheard you telling your brother and younger brother to go to a private school. I happen to have someone here, the retired headmaster of the Hanlin Academy."
"Why don't your eldest brother and third brother stop going to the private school? It wouldn't be bad if they just studied at home." Xiao Jingchen looked at Lin Luoxi lying on the bed, a hint of guilt flashing in his eyes. He explained the purpose of his visit.
The head of the Hanlin Academy, having retired to his hometown, was naturally far more learned than the teachers in private schools.
Moreover, being someone who follows Xiao Jingchen, he is no ordinary person.
Lin Luoxi understood that Xiao Jingchen had made this special trip to repay her kindness.
"Then we'll have to trouble you, Ninth Prince. Where is that old gentleman? My eldest brother and third brother are going to study with you, or should we invite the old gentleman to our house..."
"Don't worry, although we live in the countryside, we will never skimp on your meals."
