Chapter 96 97 Jealousy
There were exquisite food and wine on the table, but unfortunately, several people present had no appetite.

Lin Jianyue handed the dagger to Chen Jingchi with both hands: "Thank you very much for today, General!"

Chen Jingchi looked at the sharp dagger. This dagger was one of his favorite weapons and had been with him for many years.He looked at the hands holding the dagger. The wrists were thin and green, and the fingertips seemed to be lightly pink.

"Miss Lin, keep it for self-defense!" Chen Jingchi said, not intending to accept the dagger.

But if Chen Jingchi's bodyguard Huo Dao hears these words, his jaw will definitely drop. You must know that Chen Jingchi treasures his own weapons very much. He usually doesn't even let others touch them or bang them. It's rare to lend them to Lin Jianyue today. It's so unusual that he should give it as a gift.

Lin Jianyue glanced at the dagger in her hand. It was indeed a handy weapon, but Lin Jianyue insisted on giving it back to Chen Jingchi.

After a few people sat down, Shen Qingmiao stood up and poured wine for Shen Weixun and Chen Jingchi, and tea for the woman. Wang Tang, who was usually greedy, rarely did not eat those exquisite pastries at this time.

"I want to set up a porridge shed outside the city, but the government may not allow it. I would like to ask Shen Shizi to help me with this matter!" Lin Jianyue raised the tea cup with one hand and looked towards Shen Wei.

Seeing the suffering of the victims, Lin Jianyue felt uneasy. Since she had such ability and money, she naturally wanted to help these victims.Not for anything else, just for peace of mind.

Lin Jianyue's words made Shen Weixun pause. He glanced at Lin Jianyue and raised the wine cup.

"Miss Lin has great righteousness, and she is bound to do so!" Shen Weixun said, finishing the drink in one gulp.

Shen Weixun never thought that Lin Jianyue would have such thoughts. She was calm and collected in situations, with the coldness of a man but also the tenderness of a woman.

Even the prince ignored the victims, but such a woman was willing to lend a helping hand. How could this not be admirable?

Seeing Shen Weixun agree, Lin Jianyue sorted out her emotions and looked at Chen Jingchi again.

Chen Jingchi originally felt a little awkward when he saw Lin Jianyue seeking help from Shen Weixun but not from himself. After all, in Chen Jingchi's opinion, his relationship with Lin Jianyue was much closer than that of Shen Weixun.

Chen Jingchi sat up straight and looked at Lin Jianyue sharply.

"Although it is a good thing to set up a porridge shop, the victims are already a little confused now, so as not to hurt others, please General Chen can send some people to prevent the victims from causing trouble!" Lin Jianyue said, raising the tea cup again.

If the victims have been hungry for so many days, and hurriedly serving porridge, it will definitely cause a commotion. If ordinary maids and servants are allowed to serve porridge, they may even be injured.Although Lin Jianyue could use the Chang Sword Army to do these things, she is a woman after all, and this move will definitely attract a lot of people to attack her. It is best to let Chen Jingchi come forward.

"Don't worry, I will maintain good discipline!" Chen Jingchi picked up the wine cup and drank it all in one gulp, looking at Lin Jianyue with intense eyes, as if they were a burning flame.

Lin Jianyue was mentally prepared and knew that Shen Weixun and Chen Jingchi would help, but she did not expect that the two would agree so easily.

"I also have some idle money in my hands. When the time comes, I will give it to you, which can be regarded as a contribution!" Shen Qingmiao said softly from the side.

Shen Weixun glanced at his sister, with relief in his eyes.He thought that his sister would never be able to escape in this life, but now, his sister who only knew how to play seemed to have grown up, and all of this was thanks to Lin Jianyue.

"I don't have much money, can I help?" Wang Tang was a little embarrassed. She had very little money every month, and she was a glutton, so she didn't have much money to spend.

"Of course I need your help. When the time comes, Bu Zhi will need to purchase things. Tangtang, you can come and help me!" Lin Jianyue said.Wang Tang was very happy after hearing this and felt that he was of some use.

"Publishing porridge can only temporarily allow these victims to survive, but it is not a solution in the long run!" Shen Weixun said, thinking for a moment and said, "I will report this to the Holy Emperor!"

Chen Jingchi nodded, but as he was a military general and one who was feared by His Majesty, he naturally could not interfere in this matter.

But Shen Weixun was different. He was not only the crown prince, but also His Majesty's nephew and the current Minister of Dali Temple. It would be most appropriate for him to report this matter to the Holy Emperor.

Although His Majesty is currently addicted to power, he hopes to leave an eternal reputation. As long as such a matter is reported, His Majesty will not sit idly by and ignore it.

After the matter was discussed, several people chatted and ate, talking about the next porridge service.

The more they chatted, the brighter Shen Weixun looked at Lin Jianyue, because what Lin Jianyue said was what Shen Weixun thought. He never thought that one day a woman would be so consistent with his thoughts. .

Shen Weixun looked at Lin Jianyue with eyes like deep lake water, as if he wanted to drown Lin Jianyue in it. Unfortunately, Lin Jianyue was only chatting with Shen Qingmiao next to her, so she naturally caught Shen Weixun's eyes.

Lin Jianyue didn't notice, but Chen Jingchi felt a little unhappy for no reason, especially when he looked at Shen Weixun's eager eyes and felt that the sake in his mouth was a bit astringent.

"Shen Shizi!" Chen Jingchi spoke, interrupting Shen Weixun's thoughts and focusing on Chen Jingchi.

Seeing Chen Jingchi toasting to him, Shen Weixun naturally picked up the wine cup. The two of them didn't speak much, only the sound of muffled drinking could be heard.

Fortunately, both of them had a good capacity for drinking, but Chen Jingchi's expression remained unchanged after drinking so much wine, and his eyes were as sharp as ever.

But Shen Weixun's face started to turn red from his cheeks to his neck. Although he was sober, one look at his face showed that he had drank a lot.

"Your Majesty's ability to drink is average!" Chen Jingchi said in an incomprehensible tone as he weighed the wine cup in his hand.

Although Shen Weixun was drunk, his eyes were bright. He could naturally see Chen Jingchi's unwarranted hostility towards him. However, Shen Weixun asked himself that he and Chen Jingchi were not dirty, and they even had very little interaction. He did not understand Chen Jingchi's indifference. Where does the hostility come from.

But no matter what, Shen Weixun would not dodge in the face of Chen Jingchi's provocation.

"Not as good as the general. After all, drinking will ruin things! I have to go to the palace to do things in the next moment, so I can't live up to Miss Lin's trust!" Shen Weixun said, not intending to continue.

As soon as these words came out, Chen Jingchi had some heartache. Although Lin Jianyue also asked him to help, he seemed to trust Shen Weixun more. Thinking of this, Chen Jingchi felt more and more uncomfortable looking at Shen Weixun.

Lin Jianyue didn't notice the undercurrent between the two men. After several people had their meal, Lin Jianyue went directly to the shop to find Uncle Zhong.

After all, making porridge requires food, and her move also needs to be discussed with Uncle Zhong.

Compared with her previous attitude of not caring about the industry, Lin Jianyue is now very careful. She knows the importance of this wealth better than anyone else.
