C82 Something Is Definitely Going to Happen
In Lin Miaoting's knowledge, people like Xuanyuan Yu and Xie Wuchen had traveled far and wide in this era. They must know more about this era than she did. Therefore, she wanted to ask about the situation in detail. If it was really like what Shopkeeper Liu of Linglong Cloth shop said, if it was raining in the south and drought in the north, according to common sense, something would definitely happen!
With a creak, the door to Xuanyuan Yu and Xie Wuchen's private room was pushed open by Lin Miaoting from the outside.
"Ting, you came back so quickly." Xie Wuchen was the first to speak, "I thought you would only come back after noon."
"Haha," Ting said. Lin Miaoting laughed awkwardly. "Let me ask you something."
"Please tell me." "Please," Xuanyuan Yu said.
"Do you know that it has been raining heavily in the south and that some houses have been damaged?" Lin Miaoting spoke as fast as she could.
"Yes." Xuanyuan Yu and Xie Wuchen nodded.
Seeing their reaction, Lin Miaoting suddenly opened her eyes wide and asked seriously, "Does the country not manage it?"
"Yes! I'm just afraid that the person in Imperial City still doesn't know." Xie Wuchen said with a smile, and looked meaningfully at Xuanyuan Yu.
Lin Miaoting saw Xie Wuchen's meaningful look and could not help but mutter in her heart, "This Yuan Yuxuan is Xie Wuchen's relative. His family should be doing business. But judging from the current situation, it does not seem like it. The biggest possibility is that there is someone in Yuan Yuxuan's family who is an official, and this official position is probably not small.
"It's normal for local officials to hide things from others for the sake of their performance. We only found out about this after we heard someone talk about it." Xuanyuan Yu Chen told the truth.
Xie Wuchen nodded to confirm Xuanyuan Yu's words. If it was anyone else, Xie Wuchen would not be able to guarantee it, but for Xuanyuan Yu, who had been staying at the border for a long time and had just returned to the capital, that piece of land in the south was probably not someone he could use.
"What are you worried about?" Xuanyuan Yu asked. "Normally, people don't seem to care much about this kind of situation."
Xuanyuan Yu's words made a lot of sense. In modern times, there were disasters in this kind of place. The poor people were just asking. If it was possible, they could just donate some of their resources, but in the end, it was not a big deal.
Thinking of this, Lin Miaoting could not help but feel a little disappointed. "What can I worry about? This south is the birthplace of white faces. If the price of white faces rises, wouldn't the cost of making sausages also increase?" As she spoke, Lin Miaoting even wasted two people. However, she did not dare to say what she wanted to say in her heart.
What she was thinking in her heart was that if there really was a disaster in the south and there was no water in the north recently, it was hard to guarantee that there would not be a drought. No matter what kind of disaster it was, it could be accompanied by a virus. This was what she truly cared about! Should she take the opportunity to study some medicine now? Should she put the rest of the matter aside for now? This was good as a precautionary measure. She did not want to return to heaven because of a plague.
"I thought you would say what great ambition you have!" Xie Wuchen pulled the corner of his mouth and pretended to be disappointed.
"You think too highly of me? What kind of big ambition do I have?" Lin Miaoting replied with some dissatisfaction. That was because she did not want to say it. If she said it, she would definitely report it to scare you!
"Tch, village aunt, do you think highly of you? I'm afraid that I look down on you!" Xie Wuchen's words were full of sarcasm, but it could also be seen from the other side that Xie Wuchen had a high evaluation of Lin Miaoting's ability.
"Alright, prepare to eat!" Xuanyuan Yu suddenly changed the topic and planned the conversation between the two of them.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Miaoting wanted to say something but heard the door being pushed open. She saw Manager Lin and a waiter holding a tray respectfully.
Manager Lin placed the dishes on the tray on the table one by one. Then, he led the waiter and left. Xuanyuan Yu also waved to Feng Ni and Zi Lei, indicating for them to leave.
After Feng Ni and Zi Lei left, only Xuanyuan Yu, Xie Wuchen, and Lin Miaoting were left in the room. Lin Miaoting knew from the days they spent together that Xuanyuan Yu's table was usually quiet. Unless someone asked, he would eat his food quietly.
However, during today's meal, Xuanyuan Yu had been surprisingly asking Lin Miaoting questions.
"Do you have anything else to say?" Although Xuanyuan Yu did not look at anyone when he spoke, Lin Miaoting knew that he was asking her.
Lin Miaoting swallowed the rice in her mouth first and used this short period of time to organize her thoughts. At the same time, she tried to figure out what should be said and what should not be said. "When I went to buy the cloth, I heard from the manager of Linglong Cloth shop, Shopkeeper Liu, that it was easy to have problems in the south if it kept raining. But it never rains in the north. It's also easy to encounter problems."
Lin Miaoting told Liu Cuiying's words. At the same time, she carefully watched Xuanyuan Yu and Xie Wuchen's reactions while she was talking. She was afraid that her words would cause the other party to dislike her.
"I don't really understand this kind of thing. However, what you said is not unreasonable. If it really doesn't rain in the north and the south continuously rain after a few days, perhaps we should take precautions." Xuanyuan Yu's words stopped abruptly, as if he was thinking about something.
"You want to care?" Xie Wuchen changed his usual smiling face and his tone was slightly serious.
Xuanyuan Yu did not answer, but his gloomy face showed his master's displeasure.
Lin Miaoting felt very depressed about this meal. Although there was Braised Pork that Lin Miaoting liked the most on the table, she was still not interested in it.0
Lin Miaoting quickly finished the meal and took her bag out of the room. She felt that the two of them seemed to have something to say.
The remaining two people in the room stopped eating when Lin Miaoting closed the door. Their expressions were very serious.
"Did you get the jade pendant?" Xie Wuchen asked.
"No." Xuanyuan Yu replied.
"What about you?" Xie Wuchen frowned.
"I don't know, but this little girl knows I'm looking for the jade pendant. She seems to be hiding it on purpose." Speaking up to this point, the corner of Xuanyuan Yu's mouth slightly curled up. In his mind, the scene of Lin Miaoting wearing dark green clothes provoking him that day appeared.
Xie Wuchen looked at the changes in the person in front of him and was a little shocked in his heart. It was just that after staying at Lin Miaoting's house for a few days, Prince Lih's changes were a little too big. Now that he was still in a daze while discussing matters, his eyes revealed a faint warmth.
"You like Miss Lin?" Xie Wuchen had doubts in his heart and was not happy not asking. "You wanted to kill her."
After hearing what Xie Wuchen said, especially what happened after that, Xuanyuan Yu's face suddenly turned cold. "I don't know if I like her or not, but I just want to keep her here."
Xuanyuan Yu's tone was incomparably firm.
Xie Wuchen pulled the corner of his mouth and said, "Not only do you want to keep her, but you also want to protect her." Xie Wuchen's gaze suddenly became somewhat empty, as if he was recalling something. Suddenly, the corner of his mouth rose as he looked at Xuanyuan.
Wasn't this very similar to the him back then?
