The Comeback of the Charming Farmer's Wife-Chapter 2300 - 2302: Worries of Betrayal After Use

"Come on, quickly take a seat!"

Ye Zi’an led him to the table, and as soon as he sat down, the remaining guests hurried over to strike up a conversation.

"Lord Earl, after your trip to the south, you seem even more imposing."

"Not at all, not at all."

"At such a young age, Lord Earl has already quelled the internal strife in Great Zhou, and upon going south, intimidated those small tribes from making any moves. And you have eradicated countless bandits and pirates, surely you are different from before."

"Now that Lord Earl has returned, circumstances have changed. We hope Lord Earl will take care of us old fellows."

"..."

Luo Linhao awkwardly smiled at the group of old men trying to chat with him, unsure how to respond. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Moreover, having rarely been involved in court affairs, he had no idea how to deal with these old fellows, so he looked over at Ye Zi’an.

Ye Zi’an, being experienced, didn’t bother engaging with them but instead told a nearby servant, "Quickly add some dishes and soup for Lord Earl. It’s already past noon, and Lord Earl hasn’t eaten yet. Let’s eat first, and talk later."

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent, then said, "Yes, yes, Lord Earl should eat first. Let’s talk after the meal."

With that said, they all left, leaving only Luo Linhao, Ye Zi’an, Mu Shaoling, and others.

"Oh dear, these people are so enthusiastic, it’s overwhelming," Luo Linhao said between bites. "I really don’t know how you can carry on conversations with them."

"Are you going to the south again after this return?"

"Yes!" Luo Linhao nodded. "The Emperor’s intention is for my father, who is getting old, to stay in the Capital City, while I go south."

"This time, you’re finally going to get married, right? Did the Emperor say you should take your family with you to the south?" Ye Zi’an asked quietly.

"Of course, why wouldn’t I take them?" Luo Linhao laughed. "The Emperor specifically sent me back to get married."

Ye Zi’an sighed with relief upon hearing this.

Although Great Zhou is still weak, it is now stable. The rest is left to time.

He was afraid Baili Yan would do as other emperors, discarding the useful once they’re no longer needed.

Luo Linhao’s return to the Capital City to marry, and if the Emperor did not let him take his family when heading south, it would indicate the Emperor’s distrust.

Luckily, that wasn’t the case!

"Mom, Grandma, Aunt..." Yangyang came running in from the front courtyard, like a joyful little bird.

"What makes you so happy?"

Yangyang threw a sugar-coated peanut from the table into his mouth and then smiled, "It must be good news!"

"Mom, you’re going to marry off my sister. Isn’t that something to be happy about?"

"Marry off your sister?" Yang Chuxia was taken aback, then suddenly remembered, "Your cousin is back?"

Ms. Wang and Yang Dachuan had only recently arrived in the Capital City, and Old Mu had just returned from the West Mountain camp, making arrangements for the marriage as soon as Luo Linhao came back.

"Yes, cousin is currently drinking with dad in the front courtyard," Yangyang happily said. "I heard them talking; cousin said the Emperor specially asked him to come back to get married."

"What wonderful news!" Ms. Wang stood up, clasping her hands together. "Thank Buddha, Linhao finally returned. You silly girl are finally going to get married."

Yang Xiayun was speechless, "Mom, you’re that eager to marry me off?"

"Of course! Just look at how old you are," Ms. Wang said with disdain. "Is there any girl in the village as old as you who isn’t married yet? If Linhao didn’t come back soon, I would have worried he might not want you."
