Chapter 287 Lin Luoxi tells Xiao Jingchen to go back and become emperor
But she was afraid that the people wouldn't be able to achieve the results she wanted, so she had to do everything herself.
Being in an unfamiliar place, Lin Luoxi was afraid that someone might sabotage her behind her back, so she had to keep a close eye on things.
Fortunately, the outcome was good, and everything she planned went smoothly as she had hoped.
"Where have I lost weight? I think I'm fine." She likes her current figure. She looks thin, but actually, her muscles have just become firmer. She feels full of energy now.
But in the eyes of Lin Wenqian, Li Wentao, Xie Hanchuan, and others, Lin Luoxi had indeed lost weight.
Xie Hanchuan looked at Lin Luoxi with a pained expression. Because there were many people around, he chatted with Lin Luoxi for a few words and then pulled Lin Wenqian out.
When they arrived, Madam Lin brought them a lot of delicious food.
Seeing how thin Lin Luoxi has become, I plan to unload all the delicious food from the carriage and let Lin Luoxi eat it, so that she can regain the chubby baby Lin Luoxi she used to be.
"Miss Lin, why did you invite Master Zhao over?" Xiao Jingchen asked curiously when he saw Master Zhao and his companions arrive.
I didn't hear that Lin Luoxi was going to buy land and build a house here. Why did she suddenly invite Master Zhao over?
"Well, I think it would take at least ten years to harvest anything from that wasteland, but I have a way to recoup the investment quickly..." Lin Luoxi stopped there and didn't continue.
"What's a good idea?" Xiao Jingchen saw Lin Luoxi's confident yet mysterious expression and felt like he had been tricked by her.
"Well, the plan hasn't been implemented yet, so I won't tell you for now." Lin Luoxi didn't plan to tell Xiao Jingchen so soon. She would tell him after all the plans were completed according to her plan.
While they were talking, Lin Wenqian and Xie Hanchuan arrived with lots of delicious food.
"Wow, this is my favorite braised pork knuckle, bamboo shoot and old duck soup..." Lin Luoxi was overjoyed as she watched Lin Wenqian and Xie Hanchuan lay out dozens of delicious dishes.
Because she arrived in such a hurry, she didn't bring a chef with her. In addition, she was always running around outside and didn't have time to go into her space to get the ingredients. So she just made do with plain steamed buns instead of having the chef sent by Xiao Jingchen cook for her.
"Wow, so much delicious food! I absolutely love it!" Not only did Lin Luoxi's eyes light up when she saw the table full of dishes, but Xiao Jingchen, Lin Jize, and the others were also thrilled by the aroma.
Lin Luoxi hadn't eaten home-cooked meals for as long as they hadn't eaten Lin's family's cooking for a month; they had practically been eating nothing but chaff and wild vegetables.
Now that we finally get to see dishes with lots of meat and fish, I really don't know where to start.
"Eat up!" Lin Wenqian saw that Lin Luoxi was only smelling the food and hadn't touched her chopsticks, so he immediately handed the chopsticks to her and watched her eat.
"Big brother, Han Chuan, Wen Jin, Wen Tao, why aren't you eating?" Seeing the four pairs of eyes staring intently at her, Lin Luoxi forced herself to endure the tingling sensation on her scalp and asked.
"We were full when we came back," Lin Wenqian said, sounding a little guilty. After all, they had eaten quite a bit of beef jerky on the way and were still stuffed.
If they had known Lin Luoxi was eating so poorly here, they should have saved the beef jerky for her.
Xiao Jingchen and Lin Jize didn't stand on ceremony with Lin Wenqian and the others. They picked up their chopsticks and started eating heartily.
Seeing that Xiao Jingchen and the others were being so impolite, Lin Luoxi was afraid that they would finish all the delicious food, so she stopped talking and started eating faster.
At the dinner table, the scene was so chaotic that it could be described as a whirlwind or a locust plague.
In no time at all, all the dozens of dishes on the table were eaten up.
Xiao Jingchen, Lin Jize, and Lin Luoxi were like starving ghosts, chewing the food they hadn't swallowed yet, leaning back in their chairs with satisfied expressions.
There wasn't even enough time to wipe the grease from the corners of their mouths or comfortably rub their full bellies.
Seeing this, Xie Hanchuan immediately took out his handkerchief and gently and carefully wiped the oil from the corner of Lin Luoxi's mouth.
Xiao Jingchen narrowed his eyes when he saw Xie Hanchuan's actions, and the atmosphere around him instantly cooled down.
But apart from Ji Feng and his group who noticed and took two steps back, everyone else seemed oblivious and continued doing what they were doing.
Meanwhile, Dr. Li frowned and stared intently at Xie Hanchuan's face, trying to find something on Xie Hanchuan's face that gave him that feeling of déjà vu.
Lin Jize, on the other hand, smiled with relief when he saw Xie Hanchuan gently wiping the grease from Lin Luoxi's mouth.
Thinking that after returning, he would mention Xie Hanchuan's matter to Lin Dayou and settle the lifelong affairs of these two young people first.
"Big brother, how did you guys do this time?" It seemed that Xie Hanchuan often did this kind of thing, and Lin Luoxi naturally enjoyed Xie Hanchuan's service.
"Well, Han Chuan is first, I'm second, Wen Jin is third, and Wen Tao is fourth..." Lin Wenqian said, a little embarrassed.
He originally wanted to be number one, but Xie Hanchuan topped the list instead.
"Really? Congratulations, Brother Hanchuan!" Lin Luoxi looked at Xie Hanchuan with surprise and delight after hearing Lin Wenqian's words.
"Thank you, but I don't think there's anything to brag about. After all, it's just the title of a scholar..." What he wanted was more than just the title of a scholar.
"Ah!" Lin Wenqian's mouth dropped open when he heard Xie Hanchuan's words. If being number one on the list wasn't impressive enough, then those of them who occupied second, third, and fourth place shouldn't even bother living.
"Brother Hanchuan, don't push yourself so hard. The current situation in the court is not good. We should not get involved in that mess."
He wasn't afraid of what Xiao Jingchen might think if he heard this, and directly shared his observations over the past period.
Lin Jize, Old Man Li, Ji Feng and the others pretended not to hear Lin Luoxi's words, going about their own business without looking at Xiao Jingchen's expression.
"Miss Lin, is it really okay for you to say this to my face?" Xiao Jingchen protested strongly upon hearing Lin Luoxi's words.
"Am I wrong? If I were even slightly weaker, I wouldn't have been able to obtain these fertile fields and prime lands bestowed upon me by your royal family..."
"It's because there are treacherous officials controlling the court that things are so chaotic and corrupt..."
"However, if you were to return to that position, perhaps the court could regain its integrity..."
"Lin Luoxi, don't you know what you should and shouldn't say..." Xiao Jingchen immediately stopped Lin Luoxi when he heard her outrageous words, to prevent others from overhearing.
