Chapter 485 Making Money, Supporting Ten or Eight Handsome Men
"I know why you've come, but I'm overwhelmed and unable to help you. All I can do is offer you 50 million taels as a sponsorship fee to support your endeavors..."
After finishing the meal, Lin Luoxi directly refused, but before Xiao Jingchen could say anything, she offered him a sweet treat.
"I don't have any more, I still have to support my nephew."
"My senior sister's health isn't very good, so I plan to let her rest and recuperate here for a while."
"After the baby in her womb is safely delivered, I will raise him until he is plump and healthy, and then send the mother and child back to the palace."
After saying this, Lin Luoxi looked at Xiao Jingchen with murderous intent in her eyes.
"Xingman, what's wrong? Are you alright?" Xiao Jingchen looked at Lin Xingman with concern when he heard that she was going to stay here to recuperate.
The moment Xiao Jingchen looked over, Lin Xingman quickly lowered her eyes, not wanting to meet his gaze.
Knowing he was in the wrong and feeling guilty, Xiao Jingchen saw that Lin Xingman didn't want to see him, and he actually stood there stunned, without going over to comfort her.
Seeing Xiao Jingchen's infuriating appearance, Lin Luoxi snorted and pulled Lin Xingman away.
Lin Luoxi originally wanted to give him 50 million taels of gold, but after seeing Xiao Jingchen's scumbag behavior, she felt that even 50 million taels of silver was too much.
She was afraid that even if he gave out so much money, it might not reach the people. In the end, Xiao Jingchen might use it to support his cousin, and she would be so angry that she would die.
Xiao Jingchen knew why Lin Luoxi was angry. After thinking for a moment, he still shamelessly chased after her.
"You stay and see what he has to say, I'm leaving now..." Lin Luoxi saw that Xiao Jingchen still knew to chase after her, so she left Lin Xingman behind and went back to the accounting room to start doing the accounts.
"Xingman... I..." Xiao Jingchen breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Lin Luoxi leave. He walked to Lin Xingman's side, but hesitated to speak.
"Your Majesty, what do you want to say?" Perhaps heartbroken, Lin Xingman changed her way of addressing Xiao Jingchen.
"Xingman, I have nothing to do with that cousin. I just treat her like a cousin..."
Xiao Jingchen sensed Lian Xingmeng's distant and aloof tone and began to panic, wanting to explain to Lin Xingman.
“But she doesn’t treat you like a brother, listen carefully…” Lin Xingman did something, and another woman’s voice rang out between the two of them.
"Ha, what right does a woman of dubious origin like you have to sit on the throne of Empress..."
"Do you know what? Yesterday, Brother Chen gave me a luminous pearl from the South China Sea. I don't see it here, which shows that Brother Chen's heart isn't with you..."
"..."
Judging from Xiao Jingchen's shocked expression, he knew the owner of the voice and was quite familiar with her. Perhaps the content of the woman's words shocked him so much that he couldn't accept it.
"These are the words your kind and innocent younger sister said to me. She would come over and say these words to me every time you went to court. They were quite hurtful."
“My junior sister is right. My body has long been riddled with wounds by you and your dear cousin. If it weren’t for my junior sister, I wouldn’t have lived much longer. In order to live a little longer, I plan to recuperate here with my cousin…”
"Your Majesty, you are very busy with official duties, so I'd better not disturb you..." Lin Xingman said this, then turned and left without saying anything to Xiao Jingchen.
"Xingman, wait for me. I'll come pick you up after I've taken care of things..."
Seeing Lin Xingman's back as she turned away, Xiao Jingchen felt a sudden pang of pain in his heart, as if he were about to lose something. He rushed over and hugged Lin Xingman from behind, assuring her.
"Hmm!" Lin Xingman gave a perfunctory "hmm," broke free from Xiao Jingchen's embrace, and walked in the direction Lin Luoxi had left.
"Why are you here? Did you two have a heart-to-heart talk?" Lin Luoxi asked curiously, looking at Lin Xingman who suddenly appeared opposite her, holding an account book and checking the accounts.
Xiao Jingchen is such a jerk! He's given her so many chances, and she still can't win her back…
"Luo Xi, teach me how to do business." After looking at the ledger for a while, Lin Xingman suddenly looked up at Lin Luo Xi.
Lin Xingman envied Lin Luoxi, who was good at making money. She felt that Lin Luoxi was radiant and dazzling.
Moreover, Lin Luoxi's fearless attitude and radiant confidence, which she had made a lot of money, made her feel very envious and ashamed.
"Okay, sure!"
"Money is a woman's confidence; without money, you can't move an inch."
Upon hearing that Lin Xingman wanted to start a business, Lin Luoxi immediately felt entitled to speak, and began to enthusiastically tell Lin Xingman about all the benefits of having money.
When Lin Xingman heard Lin Luoxi say that with money she could support ten or eight handsome and talented men, she became even more tempted.
"I want to learn now." As long as she learns to make money and strengthen her own power, she won't have to be at Xiao Jingchen's mercy anymore. Instead, if Xiao Jingchen is not good, he will replace him with someone more obedient.
"Yes, that's right!" Seeing that Lin Xingman's passion had been aroused, Lin Luoxi immediately sat down and taught her how to check accounts. Doing business requires not only knowing how to do accounts, but also how to check them.
Lin Xingman was naturally quick-witted, and with Lin Luoxi's hands-on instruction, she quickly got the hang of it.
Knowing that Lin Luoxi was not welcoming him, Xiao Jingchen took the 50 million taels of silver notes given to him by Lin Luoxi and returned to the capital alone.
On the way back, his mind was filled with Lin Xingman's injured eyes, and his ears were filled with the voice of his harmless cousin. He hurried back to the capital.
He had no idea that this parting would mean losing Lin Xingman, who loved him most. When he returned, he was greeted by Lin Xingman, who, after being transformed by Lin Luoxi, only loved herself.
Lin Xingman's days in the countryside were fulfilling, busy, and happy.
I'm very happy.
Wutong Village was completely devoid of the intrigue and oppressive atmosphere of the imperial palace, where there was no one to confide in.
Every day, he followed Lin Luoxi to check the shops and the account books.
Ever since the incident of Chang impersonating Princess Changping, Lin Luoxi has been raiding her shop from time to time to prevent anyone from using her identity for shady dealings.
Lin Xingman's pregnant belly was very healthy thanks to the nourishment of Lin Luoxi's spiritual spring water. She could travel around with Lin Luoxi without experiencing any discomfort, and Lin Xingman also learned a lot.
Considering that Lin Xingman was one of their own, Lin Luoxi gave Lin Xingman some shops and asked her to learn how to manage them.
Lin Xingman was born to do business. Lin Luoxi gave Lin Xingman ten shops, and Lin Xingman made a fortune in just one month.
Looking at the money she had earned with her own hands, Lin Xingman was moved to tears. For the first time, she felt useful and became more and more confident. She went out every day with her pregnant belly and only returned home at night with the help of the pregnant woman.
