Chapter 40: Jian Ling is Nervous

Dao Miaomiao was angered and left.

Jian Ling, filled with the joy of victory, found Lin Fan, who had just put down his teacup.

"Brother Lin."

Seeing Lin Fan, the person who made her feel triumphant, Jian Ling's mood was very good as she warmly greeted him.

Lin Fan also smiled and greeted her, "Miss Jian Ling, why do you have time to come so quickly?"

Jian Ling didn't answer, but casually asked, "Brother Lin, were the people from Tyrannical Saber Villa looking for you just now?"

"Yes."

Lin Fan nodded without hiding anything.

"What did they want to talk to you about?"

Jian Ling became alert at once, her inner thoughts about to be confirmed.

"They wanted me to cooperate with them and said they could offer me better conditions for Divine Sword Villa."

Lin Fan replied with a smile.

"Did you agree?"

As expected, Jian Ling's face filled with worry upon hearing this.

She had just gained the upper hand at home, but if Lin Fan were to be poached, wouldn't it all be for nothing?

"What do you think?"

Lin Fan didn't answer directly, but asked with a hint of mystery.

Jian Ling hesitated and shook her head, "I don't think Brother Lin is someone who breaks his word, so I'm sure you didn't agree."

"Well, thank you for your trust."

Lin Fan smiled and said, "I indeed didn't agree with them. But there's something strange. Why did they find out so quickly after we reached a cooperation?"

Jian Ling fell silent upon hearing this.

It was obvious that there was a mole within their organization.

Otherwise, how could they have quickly found her right after she returned home?

"Miss Jian Ling, I insist on cooperating with Divine Sword Villa because I believe in you. However, I hope that such things will happen less in the future. I don't like being disturbed."

Although Lin Fan didn't pay much attention to the exposure, he still didn't like being disturbed, and it was worth mentioning.

"Rest assured, Brother Lin. Jian Ling will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation for this matter!"

Jian Ling didn't remain silent this time, but showed determination and said.

The old swordsman also spoke at the same time, "Master Lin, I also promise you that there won't be a second time!"

"That's for the best. After all, we have a good cooperation. Let's not create any trouble."

Seeing that his reminder had worked, Lin Fan nodded and didn't dwell on it any longer.

With the heavy topic gone, the conversation naturally became pleasant.

Jian Ling first asked if Lin Fan was comfortable living in the mansion and if he needed any help.

Lin Fan said he was doing well and didn't currently need any assistance.

"Old Sword, can we let the second shopkeeper handle the follow-up sales coordination? I'm not used to dealing with strangers. I wonder if the old sword can fulfill this small request for me?"

Lin Fan, who valued integrity, brought up the promise he made after some small talk.

The old swordsman naturally had no objections to such a trivial matter and immediately agreed, "There's no problem with that. As long as Master Lin is comfortable with it."

"Then thank you, Old Sword."

Lin Fan smiled and thanked him.

After finishing their business, Jian Ling and Lin Fan discussed some details of their cooperation and left a deposit of one thousand taels. Jian Ling then bid farewell and left.

With a traitor in their midst this time, Divine Sword Villa was not happy. They were naturally very angry and planned to return to deal with this matter, giving an explanation to Lin Fan, the divine craftsman.

Their competitor had already appeared, and it was their archenemy, Tyrannical Saber Villa. They couldn't afford to be careless.

With no one to disturb them, Lin Fan didn't waste any time. He reassured his wives who stayed at home and gave instructions to the servants in the mansion. Then, he set off with his second wife, Su Xiaoxiao, and Wang Erxiao, the assistant, to his mother-in-law's house.

There were dedicated carriages in the mansion, which Jian Ling had left behind and now gifted to Lin Fan. Wang Erxiao caught up with the ox cart, and although the carriage was slightly different, it was still usable, so they directly boarded it.

I have to say.

Wang Erxiao is really talented. He drove the carriage for the first time and did a decent job.

First, they went to the county town to buy some gifts. The three of them set off amidst the clear sound of the horse bells.

Su Xiaoxiao's maternal home, Su Family Village, is eighty miles away from the county town, a bit farther than Wang Family Village.

Fortunately, Su Family Village is not small and is a relatively large village with a road that leads directly to it.

As they approached their hometown.

Su Xiaoxiao became increasingly restless, her eyes were red.

"What's wrong?" Lin Fan naturally understood that she was feeling nervous about returning to her hometown, but he deliberately spoke to cheer her up.

Su Xiaoxiao didn't answer, but instead hugged Lin Fan's waist and whispered, "Husband, thank you so much for being willing to take me home, thank you... for being so good to me."

Hearing the choking in his wife's words and the strong affection, Lin Fan couldn't help but gently stroke her hair and softly said, "You are my wife, isn't this what I should do?"

Naturally, Su Xiaoxiao was moved again and couldn't wait to have a child with her husband right away.

But there was still Wang Erxiao driving the carriage outside, so she didn't say much. She just leaned against her husband's embrace and didn't want to leave for a long time.

Lin Fan was also happy to have a soft and fragrant pillow in his arms. After all, with the bumpy carriage and boring journey, which macho man could resist?

...

Su Family Village.

Indeed, it is a large village with a prosperous population.

However, due to its remote location, the economic conditions are not much different from Wang Family Village where Lin Fan is from.

Or rather,

The Great Long Martial Emperor was impoverished and the living conditions of the ordinary people of the entire Great Long Dynasty were not good.

It was also because of this.

When the luxurious double-horse carriage given by Jian Ling entered the village, the village immediately became excited.

"Where did this big carriage come from? Could it be that some important person from the county town is visiting?"

"A carriage pulled by two tall and big horses, this is not common even in the county town! Who could they be looking for?"

The villagers were discussing one after another. Such a grand carriage was not common even in the county town.

Those who could match this kind of carriage were all important figures in the county town!

They couldn't understand why such an important person would visit their remote and poor village.

Some bold children wanted to approach and take a look, but they were immediately stopped and scolded by adults.

This kind of important person.

If they accidentally offended them, there would be no good consequences.

The village chief and the elders of Su Family Village also rushed over when they received this information. If an important person came to their village, they naturally couldn't be negligent.

Sure enough,

When they saw the two tall and big horses pulling the luxurious carriage, their expressions immediately became respectful.

They had seen more of the world.

They knew that these were not real important figures and couldn't match this kind of carriage.

"Be smart, don't bump into the big master!"

The village chief shouted at the villagers, then led the elders to approach and welcome them.

No matter what they came to do.

They had to wait carefully.

"Uncle Su, Second Master, why are you both here?"

Just as they were waiting for the important person, a familiar voice came from inside the carriage. Then, a familiar figure, supported by a handsome and extraordinary man, walked down from the carriage and looked at them with confusion as they waited for instructions.

"The little girl from the San Shui family?"

When they saw the familiar figure, their eyes widened instantly.

The important person they thought of turned out to be a woman assigned by the government in the village!

How could they not be surprised by this?

Not only them, but the surrounding villagers also exclaimed when they saw Su Xiaoxiao.

This reversal was like a thunderbolt in their mountain village!
