Chapter 155.2

“We’ve cleaned the house. I heard that my big brother would bring around twenty subordinates to the city. My parents will come several days later. They said that they haven’t had a chance to go sight-seeing around Da Hui. Now that they had the free time, they wanted to visit the other famous places before coming home. I guess it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival by the time they come here. Anyway, our family will be all here this Mid-Autumn Festival.” Su Shuilian announced the news she had just received, mildly smiling at Lin Si Yao.

“Mm, it’s good. Before Mid-Autumn, we don’t have much time to spend with them anyways.” Lin Si Yao washed his hands and pulled her into his embrace. Taking in the scent on her hair, he was satisfied.

“Right. I think we will be less busy after this year. Why do I always feel that time moves so fast these years? Every time we completed a construction, it has been months.” Su Shuilian leaned her whole weight on him. Squinting with satisfaction, she enjoyed the rare free time they had after lunch.

These days, he was so busy seeking the new headquarters for Feng Yao Court while she was checking the silk workshop in Xiu Feng. They hadn’t had much time to rest at home during the day.

“Not really,” Lin Si Yao let her lean against his shoulder then hugged her from behind, sitting on a soft couch. “Your brother plans to claim all the wasteland between two main streets. It’s not a small effort.”

“Right. I almost forgot this. I also want to relocate the pickle shop to that area. We should make it bigger. Not only to make the pickled vegetables or hams, we are going to make other things. It will be named He Yuan Pickle Factory. As for the silk farm, if we plan to mass produce, the workshop in Xiu Feng is also not big enough. Moreover, we have to recruit more weavers soon. It must be more convenient to build it alongside the street…” She counted on her fingers, listing things to do in detail. She quickly realized that they needed several years to completely settle down in He Yuan.

Lin Si Yao couldn’t help but laugh. Taking advantage of her face turned to him, he peaked her cheek. “You shouldn’t push yourself too much!”

“It’s because of my rushing brother. He seems to think that we have a lot of free time!” Su Shuilian couldn’t help but pout her lips. But then, Lin Si Yao kissed her red lips. “You shouldn’t wear yourself out. I will feel distressed.”

“You too. You look thinner after many days of going out early and returning late.” She held his angular face, which looked tanner, and lovingly nagged.

“It’s okay.” He hugged her tight and carried her to their bedroom.

This type of hardship was nothing to him. It was much easier than the dark days of being an assassin.

“Did you find a new place for Feng Yao Court?” It wasn’t easy to find a place for several hundred people. The biggest place in Fan Luo City was the Castellan Mansion and then the Lu family’s house, which used to be the richest family there. It couldn’t be…

“I found a place. I’m just waiting for Si Tuo.”

“Where is it?”

“I’ll take you there later.” Lin Si Yao avoided her question. He put her on their wide bed, laying atop her. “If you don’t want to take an afternoon nap, let’s do something else.”

Oh? Who said she didn’t want to take an afternoon nap? She just showed her concerns by asking him some questions before their nap. But he had swallowed her alive. And this afternoon napped led them to sleep until dusk.

The next day, under her reminder, he took her to the city to pick up Liang En Zai and see Feng Yao Court’s new headquarters.

As she expected, Lin Si Yao had bought the Lu family’s house. It was unknown where the Lu Family had moved to. They just knew that after Hua Kang sold all of their shops, he left Fan Luo County.

The almost bankrupt shops and their house was only sold for three hundred silver ingots.

From that day, the Lu family, which had been famous for dozens of years in Fan Luo City, had exhausted their prosperity during Hua Kang’s generation.

The original properties of the Lu Family, that used to be enough to allow several generations to live lavishly, had ended up being sold for three hundred silver ingots.

Sigh! Su Shuilian leaned against the main door of the Lu family. She couldn’t hold her sigh.

“Let’s go. Your big brother’s here.” Lin Si Yao walked out of the place then guided Su Shuilian to the Castellan Mansion.

Wangye Liang En Zai brought twenty-eight knights, wearing white clothes, riding nice horses, entering Fan Luo County in people’s cheering. This was the place he must use his life to manage, protect, and help it grow.

“I’m your Wangye. From now on, we will live here for the rest of our life. There will be no eight-year office nor the bind of imperial order. As long as it’s helpful for Fan Luo County, I will guide you to thrive together…”
