Aunt Chi remained silent for a long time.
Just as Xingxing was about to speak, Aunt Chi slowly said:
"All I want is for them to stop bothering our lives. Everything else is irrelevant. Whatever happens to him is none of our business."
What else could she possibly be thinking?
They are family, yet not family.
All she can do is protect her family.
"Don't worry, Grandma, they definitely won't go to Pinghe Town."
The stars were quite certain.
Chi Tang was actually very curious about what method her nephew had used, but she didn't ask.
but……
"What exactly did Lin Huainan do? Gamble?" Chi Tang's eyes darted around.
Aunt Chi was also looking at the stars.
The latter replied, "It seems they lost a batch of valuable goods that Han Fu was sending."
Then, an item that Lin Huainan's son and others were showing off happened to be from that batch of goods. Therefore, Han Fu was certain that Lin Huainan had secretly kept that batch of goods for himself.
Chi Tang asked, puzzled, "If he loses valuable goods, doesn't he have to pay compensation?"
"Because the items were too valuable, Han Fu also sent two people to escort them."
No one knows exactly what happened, but at first everyone thought they were kidnapped by robbers, and even the two people Han sent didn't suspect anything.
Therefore, although Lin Huainan did have to pay compensation, it was clearly worth the risk compared to the value of the goods.
People are willing to take risks because the value gained after taking risks is dozens of times greater than usual!
Otherwise, who would be willing to take such a risk so easily?
Therefore, Lin Huainan's scheme must have been flawless.
Otherwise, others would have noticed.
Lin Huainan probably never expected that he would lose to his own son.
Chi Tang's lips twitched. This was truly a real rip-off.
"Foolish thing! The most important thing in running a security escort agency is reputation! If you collude with others to cheat your employers, who will want to do business with you in the future?"
Aunt Chi was heartbroken.
She seemed somewhat confused as to why Lin Huainan would take such a risk.
"Although the escort agency's business is not as good as before, it's not enough to make them starve. In addition, they have some land at home, which is enough for their whole family to eat and drink well. Why would they take such a risk?"
"It's because of insatiable greed. When people see huge profits, it's hard for them to stay true to themselves."
Chi Tang said incisively.
His past lack of greed for money does not mean he can remain unmoved when faced with huge profits.
"So Grandma, you don't need to worry too much. At most, their business is going out of business. They'll have to compensate the other party for the goods and cover their losses. They can still support themselves by farming in the future."
"Star said."
Aunt Chi looked embarrassed and said, "Why should I worry about them?"
It would be a lie to say that I have no feelings for this younger brother at all.
However, when this younger brother was in danger, he immediately offered to sell Tangtang, which Aunt Chi could not accept.
She might still have some worries about her younger brother, but the moment Lin Huainan opened his mouth to sell Tangtang, it was clear that Aunt Chi would not give Lin Huainan any help whatsoever!
"Your family is so small, they're all crazy," Old Man Chi said angrily.
This trip was quite a journey!
I almost lost my life here.
What kind of people are they?
None of them are good!
Aunt Chi was already feeling uncomfortable, and Uncle Chi's words hit her right where it hurt.
Aunt Chi immediately retorted, "Your family is so good? Your good mother, good brother, good sister—which one of them hasn't caused trouble?"
Seriously, eldest brother, don't even mention second brother!
Even if her family's affairs are messy, they've only bothered them for a few days, right?
Look at all the trouble the Zhou family has caused over the years!
How dare she talk about her family?
Old Man Chi was utterly humiliated, especially in front of the younger generation, and felt particularly ashamed. So he said with a long face:
"Alright, alright, that happened eight hundred years ago, what's there to complain about?"
"Are you out of your mind? Did you start this whole thing with Binshucheng? So what? You can criticize me, but I can't criticize you?"
"Chi Yongcai, you should take a piss and look at yourself! The word 'selfish' is practically etched onto your face!"
"you!"
Old Man Chi angrily lifted the carriage curtain, wanting to sit on the carriage shaft.
Unfortunately, Jiuli and Jiuhua happened to be sitting there.
Old Man Chi could only sit back down angrily.
Just as Aunt Chi was about to make a sarcastic remark, Chi Tang gently pinched her hand.
Chi Tang shook her head at Aunt Chi.
These words only need to be said once or twice; repeating them over and over gets pointless.
And it happened right in front of them.
Aunt Chi rolled her eyes and muttered, "You always favor your father."
"I love my mom the most."
Chi Tang scurried around, making Aunt Chi burst out laughing.
The Jiuli people of Jiuhua immediately sent a message to Emperor Huiwu informing him of what had happened that day.
Including some "strange things," such as Old Man Chi, Aunt Chi, and Chi Tang not being injured at all...
Upon receiving the news, Emperor Huiwu became even more convinced of the master's words.
He instructed Zhou Ruhai: "We must expedite the improvement of the wheat seedlings, and also those people in the Ministry of Works. Tell them to do their best according to the blueprints, and give them whatever they need."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"It's exceptionally hot today. I'm afraid the Imperial Concubine may not have much of an appetite. Has the Imperial Chef prepared any exquisite and delicious dishes? Did the Imperial Concubine enjoy her meal today?"
"Still no, the imperial chefs have tried everything, but the weather is hot and the Consort's appetite is still not very good..."
"A bunch of useless trash!"
Emperor Huiwu immediately got up to visit Consort Chen.
When they arrived, Consort Chen was eating grapes, seemingly lost in thought.
She didn't even notice when Emperor Huiwu arrived.
Until Emperor Huiwu snatched the grapes from her hand and scolded her:
"How old are you? How can you eat fruit all day and not eat rice?"
"Your Majesty? I just don't have much of an appetite and don't want to eat."
The weather was hot, and she felt extremely irritable.
Emperor Huiwu raised an eyebrow, placed his large hand on Consort Chen's lower abdomen, and asked with some surprise:
Are you pregnant again?
She looked just like this when she was pregnant with thirteen.
Consort Chen was taken aback for a moment.
Her dark eyelashes trembled slightly, and she could hardly believe it: "It can't be, right?"
She had a difficult labor when she gave birth to thirteen, which damaged her health.
The imperial physician said that she had suffered a fundamental injury and needed proper care to recover.
For this reason, she has been taking medication for more than half a year.
She had just recovered her health, how could she be pregnant again so quickly?
"Whether it is or not, we'll know once we summon the imperial physician to examine you." Emperor Huiwu was very excited, and he said with some anticipation, "If you could give me a daughter, that would be wonderful."
Consort Chen lowered her head and remained silent.
Soon, the imperial physician arrived.
