Chapter 158 Finale (Section Begin) 2

“Xin Zhi, sister? Why are you hurrying? Xin Lan’s here. She wants to talk to us. I haven’t seen her for half a year. I have so many things I want to talk to her about.” Cai Lian was excitedly walking toward the lotus lake. She pulled Xin Zhi when she saw her.

“You go first. I need to find the Young Master first,” Xin Zhi answered.

“Young Master? Didn’t he go to Cui Yu Zhai? Early this morning, I saw him on the carriage to Fan Luo City.” Cai Lian was somewhat curious.

“He really went!?” Xin Zhi helplessly held her forehead. How could she report to Her Ladyship and the Great Master?

“Yes, for sure. Madam allowed him anyway. Eh? Xin Zhi sister, are you okay?”

“Madam… allowed him?” Madam was looking for her just now. It seems her Young Master had lied and used his mother as his cover.

“Yeah, that is what he said to me,” Cai Lian nodded.

Indeed…

“Sigh, I knew it. He’s been planning for quite a long time to find a chance when no one was paying attention. It would be weird that he didn’t run away.” Su Shuilian held her forehead, shaking her head reluctantly. “I just worried about his safety.”

“Madam, you don’t need to worry about it. Although Young Master’s Kungfu can’t be compared to his brother and sister, ordinary people couldn’t hurt him.” Xin Zhi was comforting her master, but she was not exaggerating. Besides their father, the three young masters of the Lin family were also taught by their uncles. When their Young Master was eight years old, he could go hunting in the mountains and return unharmed.

“Even so, he’s just eleven years old…”

“He’s no longer a child, it’s good to get him to get some practical knowledge.” Lin Si Yao walked into the room. He knew his wife was worried about the kid who always gave people a headache.

They didn’t know whom Lin Xi took after. During his picking thing ceremony, he had scooped everything on the mat. And now, as he grew, he wanted to learn everything. He wanted bits of everything. When he was nine years old, he realized that his oldest sister was trying to inherit the Mastership of Feng Yao Court. For a whole year, he pestered Si Tuo to learn everything he knew. After a while, he gradually lost interest in cultivating. And then, when he saw his older brother building the Cui Yu Zhai, the most renowned restaurant in Da Shi, he wanted to learn cooking with Chef Fang. However, it couldn’t satisfy Lin Xi. His brother and the son of Wu Yi Zhai Restaurant got along well. And when he found out that the two friends exchanged pointers, Lin Xi wanted to have a chef take him under his wing to guide him. Once he learns, he’ll be able to join his brother’s league.

In fact, Lin Xi didn’t need to have a Shifu. He could make wine since he was three years old. At the age of five, he could make many side dishes, and Chef Fang had personally taught him all of her recipes. He himself didn’t know, but anyone who had tasted his food would say that Lin Xi could be a tough opponent to Lin Xiao.

Too bad the boy didn’t want to stay idle. Perhaps he would soon lose his interest and turn to other fields in the coming days.

“Your brother wants to train him.” Lin Si Yao slowly said as he took a sip of hot tea.

“What? But Xu Ri’s already seven years old?!” Su Shuilian was dumbstruck. Yang Jing Zhi had given birth to one son and one daughter for the Liang family. His son, Xu Ri, was seven years old now, which wouldn’t affect his enthroning later. Why was Liang En Zai in a rush to train Xi-er? Xi-er was the son she had borne and given birth, moreover, his last name wasn’t Liang!

“Xu Ri’s health isn’t good. Moreover, Xu Ri shows no interest in this.” Lin Si Yao felt amused when he looked at her. The wives of a normal family would fly with happiness if they were to find out their son was chosen to be trained by the Emperor. However, his wife was quite different.

“That’s true, Xu Ri likes to learn medical practices. But these two don’t contradict. How are we sure that Xi-er is interested in this?” Su Shuilian felt skeptical as she looked at Lin Si Yao’s rising mouth. She mumbled in her head, A Yao’s still handsome when he smiles. He still charms her as usual.

“Shuilian…” He stood up, locking her petite, absent-minded body between him and the table. Leaning forward, he stole a kiss from her.

“A…” She pulled herself together, blushing, casting him a shy glance. “What… What is it?”

“I promised to take you to travel around the world.” He whispered to her ears, also licking her earlobe, making her shiver.

“Why do you recall this all of a sudden?” She pushed herself into his chest, her voice low and trembling. These years, they had been very busy with the shops, the farms, the workshops and the missions assigned by the Duke. They were so busy they didn’t have time to rest properly. The chances they got to rest were rare: Lunar New Year, Dragon Boat Festival, and Mid-Autumn Festival. Besides those days, it could be said that they had no time to rest at all.

“I always wanted to take you around Da Hui and the other nations.” Lin Shi Yao placed a kiss on her temple. The desire in his lower abdomen grew bigger. Determinedly, he carried her, walking to their bedroom.

“A Yao…” Su Shuilian could guess what he wanted to do. Her face turned hot, asking as if it wasn’t even noon time yet.

“I haven’t had it for quite a long time. Don’t you want me too?” He looked at her, but didn’t stop walking.

Oh! He’s becoming more and more bold! He dared to discuss these things with her in broad daylight!

Su Shuilian leaned her head into his chest. She admitted that she missed him and wanted him too. These days, he had been so busy with the shops in Xi Lou that his feet didn’t touch the ground. They didn’t even have time to chat before sleeping. As soon as he got into bed, he drifted right away into his slumber.

He could not be blamed

“Are you done with the shop?” She lifted her head and asked.

“Yeah, it’s not a big deal.” There were some thugs that came to Da Shi to seek refuge, they had learned from the local ruffians and wanted to take protection fees. He broke their wrists and hurled them out of the shop one by one. However, such violent but effective methods will not be mentioned.

“It’s good that everything is alright. How about the farm? The harvest is around the corner. Are the farmers okay?” The farms were their own assets, and the farmers working there were all poor refugees from other nations. They got enough help in He Yuan, so she had come with the idea of opening farms to create jobs for the refugees, which would also keep them from affecting the quiet lives of Da Shi’s citizens.

Their breathing grew louder but she hadn’t given up on asking him so many frivolous questions.

“Woman, focus…” He could no longer endure it. Straightening his body, he claimed her tightness, which finally stopped her continuous interrogation. The words from her mouth changed into coquettish moans while she received his vigorous thrusts…

Colors of spring filled their room.
