Peasant Woman is in Her Prime - C152

“It’s you?” Seventh Brother! ” The emperor’s voice became old, and he started to cough violently after saying these words.

The empress held onto his back with her hands, her face full of worry. She looked at the person kneeling outside and said slowly, “Lang’er, you’re back! Empress Mother, Empress Mother is very happy that you have recovered! ”

“You’re done?” The emperor was excited and coughed even more fiercely. After a long time, he forced himself to calm down and angrily rebuked, “Alright, you can speak such nonsense? Ten days? Get the hell down, don’t miss Zou’er’s time! ”

In front of the mausoleum of nearly a thousand people, it was completely silent. The officials naturally did not dare to say anything, and the servants even held their breath, their eyes blinking in fear.

At such an occasion, if there was even a slight mistake, the staff would pull down and the Seventh Prince would spout such insolent words. This really scared everyone so much that they almost swallowed their tongues.

Gao Lang bowed his head towards the emperor, and after he raised his head, he said slowly, “Royal Father, this son’s South Yi was greatly defeated by the side of my Wuli River.

“You retracted your Wuli River?” The Emperor raised his eyes. His face was already withered, and his eyes were murky. He wasn’t that old, but he was already like a candle in the wind.

“That’s right.” Gao Lang would definitely return.

If South Yi was used to repel it, not only would it ensure the peace of the people at the borders, it could also develop an alternative market. The nomadic Varan clan members that were close to the South Yi were able to do business, and would greatly benefit the economy of the south.

This was a major event which had laid the foundation stone of the Great Zhou for a hundred years. The Emperor was elated, and threw the disrespectful act of Zhao Yao to the back of his mind, “Good, good! For your third brother to be able to hear such good news before entering the mausoleum, he could already go with a peace of mind. Seventh Brother, when we arrive at the Imperial Court with whatever rewards you want, I’ll agree to all of them! ”

However, Gao Lang remained kneeling on the ground: “This son does not want any other rewards, I only request that Royal Father agree to stop the coffin for ten days, and allow me to investigate Third Brother’s true cause of death!”

In the capital, there were very few people on Black Turtle Street who were originally bustling with noise and excitement.

Most of the shops were closed, with white banners hanging from their doors.

When the crown prince died, the whole country had to mourn for three months. During the mourning period, it was forbidden to sing or dance.

Three months was neither a long nor a short period of time. Some of the smaller stores only used up the energy from the bankruptcy transfer.

Jin Xiaolou took the chance and ordered a shop to the left of Linlang Workshop to be sold at a low price.

She wanted to build a Star Forging Plant, not just for fun. In these three months, she would be able to lay down the foundations, and after the crown prince’s period of mourning was over, she would open the factory along with her Linlang Workshop.

The popularity of Linlang Workshop was already amongst the best in the capital. When the time came, the left hand shop would send out the girls, send them into the right side of the Linlang Workshop, and after showing their faces to the right side and blending in, they would then be sent into each of the expensive and powerful residences, forming a complete industrial chain.

It was just that the Linlang Workshop in front of them had opened up a new industry, and did not have a particularly competitive relationship with other shops. However, when Linlang Workshop was about to support girls, the Ding Dan Society and Liusu Pavilion would definitely view Linlang Workshop as a thorn in their side.

Be it the Cauldron Pill Association or Liusu Pavilion, neither were easy to deal with.

Jin Xiaolou took a deep breath, ordered Lv Yun to carry the food, and carried Lin’er out of the carriage.

The carriage turned around and passed by Black Tortoise Street before slowly coming to a stop in front of the prison.

Jin Xiaolou let Lv Yun carry Lin’er and wait outside, she picked up the food and walked in.

After giving the prison head a few pieces of silver, Jin Xiaolou easily stood in front of Jiang Chan’s cell.

The cell was only as big as a palm. Since half of the cell was built below the ground, it was dark and humid. There were snakes, worms, mice, and ants everywhere. As far as the eyes could see, there was almost nothing in the cell, only some greasy and dirty straw and a bucket of water.

Jin Xiaolou was only able to stand a little closer, and almost fainted from the stench.

Since they were locked in here then there was no way for them to get in their way and no background. So which guard would be kind enough to go and pay respect to them?

Jiang Chan was still wearing her beautiful clothes, with her back facing the wall, she sat on the straw mat.

Jin Xiaolou let out a light cough, only then did Jiang Chan slowly raise her head. The moment she saw Jin Xiaolou, Jiang Chan’s eyes stirred, and as if she had seen the last straw, she immediately ran over. The Crown Prince was dead! Do you know that the crown prince is dead? ”

Jin Xiaolou did not reply, she only opened the food box and handed over the pastries and fruits like a plate.

Jiang Chan originally did not care about the food, but in the blink of an eye, she suddenly realised that the fruit was made from the craftsmanship of the wet clothes.

Her shoulders immediately started shaking violently. Her anger made the veins on her neck bulge out. She gritted her teeth and stomped on the dish that she had just set up to shatter it.

The sweet smell of crushed fruit mixed with the stench of the cell made him feel even more nauseous.

“You, you already knew!” Jiang Chan’s voice changed drastically, it was sharp and cold, “Jin Xiaolou, you knew about this a long time ago!”

“So this is all a trap!” It’s you! You are the one who harmed me! ” Jiang Chan suddenly extended her hand out of the cell, wanting to pinch Jin Xiaolou’s neck.

Jin Xiaolou had already expected her to do this, she calmly took a step back and easily dodged her attack.

Then, he slowly opened his mouth and said, “What? You are the only one who can harm others, and you don’t allow others to harm you?”

“Everything in the world has always come and gone. When you pushed the Lin’er into the water, you should have expected this to happen.”

Jiang Chan was forced to retreat two steps, her face turned green and her lips trembled: “You … You know… Yes, yes, since the tidbit has been released, then you must know everything. ”

But soon after, his eyes became sharp and he shouted, “I did not!”

Jiang Chan took a deep breath, and forced his voice to return to its normal state with great effort, as she said in a gentle voice, “Boss Jin, the one who pushed Lin’er down was Xi Yu! The one who attracted the attention of the paper butterfly was Si Rui, and I, am the person who truly saved the Lin’er! If not for me, Lin’er would really have drowned! ”

“So you’re saying, the ones who should be blamed are Xi Yu and Si Rui?” Jin Xiaolou said indifferently.

Jiang Chan nodded her head without hesitation: “That’s right, Boss Jin doesn’t think that I am framing them. Manager, you can call them here to confront each other, and all of the ideas were come from the two of them, I, can’t stop them, so I saved Lin’er in time.”

Jin Xiaolou laughed coldly: “Even men wouldn’t be able to hold up on the path of marriage, nine out of ten would die, if not from exhaustion, or from sickness, there were also those who were snatched away by bandits, so it’s even more hopeless for women to live. I had originally thought that if you had sincerely recognized your own mistake and regretted it and vowed not to commit it again, I would have thought of a way to get out of this. Even if you had been unable to return to the Linlang Workshop, you wouldn’t have died like this. ”

“But unfortunately, you don’t have the slightest regret.” Jin Xiaolou took another two steps back.

In the dark cell, Jiang Chan could not even see Jin Xiaolou’s face clearly. She only felt that what lay in front of her was a pitch black swamp, and that she was about to be engulfed.

“Si Rui was smart, but had an impure mind, and Xi Yu was very, very foolish and naive. She believed in the way you pretended to be obedient in front of him, even though she was bewitched by you, the heart that harmed Lin’er was also real, and it was equally unforgivable.” Jin Xiaolou started walking, “The other few ladies are impure, but they can’t be considered as evil people, so they shouldn’t have accompanied you on this trip.”

After Jin Xiaolou finished speaking, she did not care about Jiang Chan’s shout, and turned to leave the prison cell.

Unexpectedly, the moment they stepped out, they saw Gao Lang holding Lin’er in front, waiting for them under the sunlight.

Jin Xiaolou was overjoyed, and hurriedly ran over: “You’re back!”

He carried Lin’er with one hand and Jin Xiaolou with the other: “I’ve hugged my son, it’s time to hug my wife.”

Finished speaking, he had already moved closer to them, and the three of them tightly leaned against each other.

Lin’er appeared from between the two of them as her face was full of smiles. He pointed at Jin Xiaolou’s face with his little finger, called him mother, and then pointed at Gao Lang’s face to call him father. Then, he started to giggle.

When Gao Lang took the opportunity to hug Jin Xiaolou, he said softly, “My wife is really amazing, I had thought that we would be able to find her easily. Who knew that with a casual question, I would know that the name of the Linlang Workshop Boss Jin has already resounded throughout the capital!”

“I knew my wife was trying her best to earn money to support me!”

Just as Gao Lang finished speaking, Jin Xiaolou pushed him away and laughed: “Shameless! I earn money to raise the Lin’er, what does it have to do with you!”

“My wife, don’t be so stubborn. Lin’er, this son of a b * tch, doesn’t have to pay that much.” Gao Lang moved closer to her and twisted her arm, “My wife wants to hide a treasure like this, if you earn enough money, you can raise me up.”
