Doted By The Regent King-Chapter 691 - 690 Provocation

Lu Xinlong saw the batch of pigs, all squeezed together, with two or three of them having some black spots on their backs, looking utterly listless and without any vitality.

His complexion changed slightly as he said, "This, these are diseased pigs." He looked at Chunhong in horror and said, "Chunhong, these pigs can’t be sold, they’ll kill people."

Chunhong replied, "I’ve had someone look at them, they’re not diseased, just in low spirits. I heard they were collected by a pig dealer from all over the place, after a long journey, naturally, they’d be lacking energy."

"You must have been cheated!" Lu Xinlong said.

"How could I not have checked first with such caution? Don’t you trust me?" Chunhong said, "Besides, who has ever heard of pigs killing people?"

Lu Xinlong walked into the pigsty, dragged a pig over, and examined it again, becoming somewhat uncertain; aside from being a bit listless, the pig showed no other symptoms.

"Big Brother, if you dare, you could mix this pig in with the ones at your family’s pigsty, sneak it out, and sell it just the same. At worst, just mix it in and sell it, once it’s butchered, who would know whether the pig had any energy?" Chunhong prompted.

Lu Xinlong glanced a few times, then walked out, saying sheepishly, "You know, I don’t have the final say in our pigsty operations."

Upon hearing this, Chunhong’s face darkened, and with a cold sneer, she said, "I knew it, you’re unreliable. You can’t even handle such a small matter, and you still want to compete with your younger brother to be the head of the household in the future? Pah! Forget it, just leave. Don’t come back again. I overestimated you!"

Embarrassment showed on Lu Xinlong’s face. If he had to say who he clashed with most at home, it would be none other than his second brother Lu Xinxing, a cunning actor whom even his father praised—pah! What nonsense, he, Lu Xinlong, was the rightful eldest son of the family!

And now, Chunhong was comparing him to his brother?

"Aren’t you leaving?" Chunhong glanced at him and goaded, "If it were your younger brother, he might have managed it already, mixing them in to sell. Who would know how these pigs were raised? And if someone came to look, just pull out one of the best to shut them up! These days, it’s good enough just to get meat to eat, who cares if it’s good or bad. Do you really think the common people are like the Lu family, knowing what’s what?" freewebnσvel.cѳm

Lu Xinlong’s face turned cold.

Seeing this, Chunhong twisted her waist, ready to leave.

Lu Xinlong, catching sight of her voluptuous waist and hips, felt a surge of warmth in his heart and hurriedly went to embrace her, "Look at you, getting angry just because I said a few words?"

Chunhong spat out disdainfully, jutting her chest out proudly, "I, Chunhong, could have anyone I want. I chose you because I thought you were bold enough to steal food from the mayor’s mouth, but it turns out you’re nothing much."

This brought a touch of pride to Lu Xinlong; Chunhong was originally kept secretly by the town mayor, and now he had slept with her. Thinking about cuckolding that haughty mayor filled him with extraordinary satisfaction, even taking pride in sharing a woman with the mayor.

"I know you’re a bit strapped for cash now, aren’t you? You want to enter Little Flower Fairy’s doors, right?" Chunhong poked his forehead and continued, "Such a great opportunity is right in front of you, and you’re not using it, sheesh!"

Lu Xinlong chuckled, "Well, replacing ten or so pigs isn’t a small matter."

"What’s there to worry about? Don’t I have people in my place? In one night, we could quietly replace them, and besides, it’s your man looking after the pigsty. Once you sell them, wouldn’t you be able to enter Little Flower Fairy’s doors?" Chunhong said. "Do pigs really have distinct appearances? And with the several dozen pigs in your sty, if we swap them, who would know?"

Lu Xinlong turned his head and glanced back at the pigsty from a distance. Her words did make sense; one pig sold for six or seven taels, and with eighteen pigs, that would be at least a hundred taels.
