Chapter 46 Severely Crushed

Lin Shaojun walked over to the homestead site and noticed Lin Qin up on the nearby mountain, continuously throwing stones down. He narrowed his eyes and asked, "What is younger sister Qin up to with those stones? Are you planning to use them to build a house?"

Measuring the foundation with a gesture, Lin Yi explained, "This is an island, so they plan to raise the foundation using stones from the mountain mixed with cement. We've gathered so many stones now that we can pretty much begin, but my leg hasn't fully healed yet, and neither Wenjun nor Lin Qin know how to build a house, so we still need to find someone to help."

"Jianguo, Anxia is right. Just think, is ten thousand yuan a lot? Can a girl's purity and reputation be bought with money? Besides, if you ask for a lesser amount now, do you believe the Qiao family will immediately counteroffer? At that point, let alone ten thousand yuan, you might not even get a thousand."

"What three-thousand-yuan bonus? What happened?" An Jiaye had been working so hard all day that he hadn't even gone home; he had eaten just two cold steamed buns for lunch and then kept his head down working, completely unaware of what had happened in the morning.

After all, in Dandan's cognition, Nanxiang's true form was none other than a carrot spirit. And since carrots belonged to the vegetable category, this vegetable actually ate apples!?!?

That wrongful termination agreement contained explicit clauses prohibiting employment with any company or school affiliated with "Luo."

"Is something on your mind?" Jiang Zitong asked with gossipy curiosity, pausing her eating to look at Jin Sichen across from her.

Yes, he had to conceal his own filthiness and baseness; he would only ever let her see a "younger brother" as obedient as Xi.

Both An Jiaji and An Jiaye supported An Hui in filing a lawsuit, declaring that the Gu family were simply inhuman and must not be let off lightly.

"I am Zhao Ting, the Thunder Dragon Marshal of the Heavenly Army, ordered to garrison Leiguang City. Open the city gates at once!" Zhao Ting shouted to the heavenly soldiers on the city tower, but the heavenly soldiers up on the tower paid him no heed at all.

"Thank you, Teacher Reed, we will certainly take good care of Madam Drome. What else is there?" Zhenmiao asked again.

"No, no, why, why would I be stalking you?" Mu Zhiting naturally would not admit that she had dispatched numerous people to scout out his whereabouts everywhere, and that she had deliberately followed him here to the back mountain.

Emperor Qinzong, Zhao Huan, said with delight, "Hero Shangguan, you have arrived just in time. Reinforcements are already in Bianliang; you need not go to Xiangzhou to summon troops." With that, he waved his hand, and the imperial guards, having received the decree, all retreated without another word.

Kuang Feng cast a sidelong glance at Kuang Bao, then raised his cup with unreduced politeness to toast everyone who had helped out today.

Gazing upon that lukewarm, jade-like, exquisite countenance, Lady Li wished she could strike her with a single palm and kill her on the spot.

Dong Xing said respectfully, "Yes, yes." Clearing his throat, he spoke in a loud voice, "This official had a nightmare, nothing more. You may all return. Without my orders, no one is to enter the back garden." The dozen or so people outside the room said no more upon hearing this, and the sound of their footsteps indicated they were heading away.

The Emperor cast a sideways glance at Jiang Muyuan, pondering back and forth. Having straightened out his thoughts, he began issuing instructions point by point.

Unlike the half-believing expressions from before, what showed on everyone's faces at this moment were excitement, thrill, and sheer disbelief.

Lately, Jiang Muyuan had made too many moves—insisting on attacking Nanling, and memorializing to urge on water transport. These matters were ultimately decided by the Emperor himself, but with the Emperor's cunning mind, how could he fail to see the maneuvering behind them by Jiang Muyuan?

Without needing to verify, Miaoran knew that those few golden boards were one hundred percent authentic items from the Su clan.

The Prince of Zhao turned his head to look, noticing that at some unknown moment, a eunuch had appeared in the room, causing his pupils to involuntarily contract.

"I don't think I will let elder sister down." Xing Chen gripped the scroll in her hand, her face beaming with confidence.

A demon beast was a demon beast, after all; their minds were far simpler than those of humans, and interacting with them required no excessive, constant wariness.

Compared to that wretched Imperial Consort Chang and Lord Changle, that person was truly ugly enough to dig a hole and jump into it herself.

Leighton Mayotte felt that, to be precise, it should be Jennifer Westervelt.
