Doted By The Regent King-Chapter 693 - 692: Some Advice

Purple Jade admired the plump and white fat pigs with a tsk of appreciation, then turned to the youth beside her and arched an eyebrow.

"Things are going smoothly, aren’t they? In such a short time, you’ve already completed half of this plan. Tell me, how long have you been preparing? If we hadn’t arrived in time, when would you have implemented this plan?"

From the day she approached him until now, as they dragged the Lu Family into the pit, it had only been a few short days. She would never believe that he had started plotting only after she found him; he must have had this in mind for quite some time.

Hou Ling laughed mischievously with a smirk, "I won’t say how long it’s been, but for such a crude method to catch sister’s eye, I’m really flattered."

Purple Jade said, "It doesn’t matter whether the methods are crude or sophisticated. What’s important is achieving the desired effect. Of course, it would be perfect if it were more meticulous. Are you sure that Chunhong won’t betray you?"

"Chunhong’s husband was indirectly forced to death by the people of the Lu Family and the town chief," Hou Ling said indifferently. "Now, her helping me is just her way of taking revenge for her deceased husband."

"Just be wary of someone tracing it back to her."

"You can rest assured on that count. From the moment she got the silver, Chunhong has left, and that gambling house is now owned by someone else," Hou Ling said.

"Those sick pigs, are you sure they won’t cause any human fatalities?" Purple Jade was truly concerned about that batch of pigs.

"Sister, don’t worry. I’ve already sent someone to report it to the Yamen. I believe they will come to seal it up soon. As for the pork, I’ve had people watching over it from the farm to the market stalls. There’s always been surveillance, and even those who bought the meat were sent by me. It won’t be consumed," Hou Ling stated, glancing at Purple Jade before smiling. "I thought sister was someone aiming for great achievements. I didn’t expect you to be so charitable."

Those who pursue great endeavors often disregard trivial matters, not worrying about human lives. Yet this one seemed to have such concerns. It’s truly puzzling; if you were to say she’s kind-hearted, she’s also scheming against the Lu Family, which is quite enigmatic.

"The Lu Family doesn’t have a life-and-death grudge with my noble master. A punishment to warn others would have sufficed. Causing a loss of life would also ruin my master’s blessings and longevity," Purple Jade stated coolly.

The bottom line of this affair had already been made clear by Wufu: no fatalities, no harm to the innocent. Just uproot the foundation of the Lu Family, so they wouldn’t become Madam Lu’s support and wouldn’t have the power to defy her.

Hou Ling’s eyes flickered and he said, "Then your noble master is also a kind person. I’ve heard that Suishan Restaurant donates a portion of its profits for charity each year. When can sister introduce me? By the way, Suishan Restaurant is an eatery, so where does your family source its pork from?"

"What, you’re already thinking about collaborating with us?" Purple Jade said, "My master has several estates, and the pigs raised there are enough to supply meat for the restaurant. We won’t be requiring additional suppliers for the time being, so let go of that idea."

The kid was sharp enough, always thinking of tapping into new business opportunities.

Hou Ling laughed heartily, "One day, when your noble master opens a grand restaurant, you’ll inevitably face a shortage of supply. Don’t forget Hou Ling then."

Purple Jade, feeling dizzy from the stench of the pigsty, turned away to leave, but then looked back at him and said, "Do you really want to be a butcher all your life?"

Hou Ling was taken aback.

"You know martial arts, you have brains. Surely finding a way out beats butchering pigs, right? Choose the right path, follow the right person, and your fortune could benefit your descendants," Purple Jade said lightly.

A spark of inspiration struck Hou Ling, who grinned and gave a bow: "Hou Ling thanks sister for the pointer."

Purple Jade accepted the thanks with a smile and gracefully departed.

Neither of them knew that their casual conversation would lay the foundation for a solid relationship in the future.
