Clan Prosperity Starting With My Servant Girls-Chapter 238: A Visit to Sima Long and Zhang Jie

These skilled workers didn’t spare their free time to make all the items they needed.

Lin Xuan Qi even thought that if they were keen, he would be able to open a furniture factory too.

"Anything wrong, Master Lin?" One of the new workers asked with a face of worry when he saw him glance at all the tables and chairs they’d made carefully.

"Nothing is wrong, as long as it’s done during your free time, anything is fine." Lin Xuan Qi replied while he placed his hand onto a chair and shook it, testing for its sturdiness.

The chair didn’t budge and he was impressed.

All the workers gave out a sigh of relief.

Having stipulated working time was something new for them and they were appreciative of it.

Their health was also better with the stable meals they could get in the factory.

Everything was looking to be better for them, and they were more than eager to reciprocate what Lin Xuan Qi had offered them.

They might have been dead out on the cold streets if it wasn’t for him.

Lin Xuan Qi nodded to them, and he went to the administration room with Yue Jie and the supervisor of the factory.

The supervisor of the factory, Lim, was a jovial middle-aged man.

He poured tea for him and Yue Jie before he sat down.

"Mistress Yue Jie here will check the accounts for the factory with you from now on.

"All the expenses, raw ingredients and the output of the factory need to be recorded so that I can verify them." Lin Xuan Qi said.

Lim bowed at him and replied, "I have it here with me."

He got up and took out a book from the cupboard nearby.

Then, he went through the records with Yue Jie.

Lin Xuan Qi sat beside Yue Jie and was thankful for her being so capable.

If not, he would have more headaches on his hands.

And while they did so, he began to think about the wedding.

It would be the best thing he could offer to Xue Cong and Yue Jie.

Madam Sai hadn’t come back with the auspicious date for the wedding.

It felt like ages for him, and he was sure that it was the same for Xue Cong and Yue Jie.

Maybe he should check with Sima Long and Zhang Jie later, he thought silently in his mind.

"Master Lin, I’m done. Everything is in order."

His thoughts were interrupted when Yue Jie glanced over at him and said so.

"Great, then we shall pay Sima Long and Zhang Jie a visit later." Lin Xuan Qi decided on the spot, and they headed for the next factory first.

It took them a while to be done with checking all the factories but when they tried to visit Sima Long, something unexpected happened.

"Master Sima Long and Mistress Zhang Jie aren’t feeling well.

"They are worried about spreading their cold to you, so they apologize for the inconvenience and will make it up to you when they recover.

"Madam Sai would pay you a visit soon."

The guard at the gates of the Sima Family Mansion said.

"Thanks. Do let them know that if there is anything they need, I’m more than happy to help." Lin Xuan Qi said with a frown and handed some copper coins over to the guard.

The guard’s face was full of smiles when he saw the copper coins.

"I will pass your message to them." He said and headed into the mansion.

"The weather is getting colder by the day.

"It’s common to have caught a cold.

"And with the resources that the Sima Family has, I’m sure they would have the best physicians taking care of them." Yue Jie said, and he nodded his head at her.

She was right.

It might have been deadly for others but definitely not so for Sima Long and Zhang Jie.

That, however, reminded him that people get sick and die if they weren’t careful in the Da Qian Dynasty.

After practicing the Daoist Five-Element Cultivation Technique, his body and health were getting better and better.

It became a norm for him, but it wasn’t true for others.

He would focus on his quest for the Five-Element Qi Concentration Pills when he got everything settled.

And since Sima Long and Zhang Jie were sick, he decided to return to the mansion with Yue Jie.

Inside the horse carriage, Yue Jie put the account books aside and held her hands onto his hands when she saw him in deep thought.

No words were needed, and she sat silently beside him.

Sima Long and Zhang Jie had helped him a lot, and she was sure that he was concerned about their health.

He glanced at her and held her closer to him, putting her head into his chest.

While he did so, he said silently to himself, "I will make sure that all of you will be with me for as long as possible."

The monotonous trotting from the horses finally stopped and the coachman’s voice sounded from outside the door of the horse carriage, "Master Lin, we’ve arrived back home."

Yue Jie got up from his chest and picked up the account books before alighting from the horse carriage.

Lin Xuan Qi slowly let go of her hands while she got further away from him.

And when he alighted from the horse carriage after her, he felt a sense of calm and security looking at the familiar scene and faces of everyone.

"Master Lin, you are back. I will ask them to prepared dinner if you are hungry." Xue Cong’s eyes opened wide when she saw him back.

Her shoulders were finally able to relax.

He had been gone for the whole day, and she was worried that he would be too focused on work and not have his meal.

Yue Jie was also one to get too engrossed in work, so she didn’t place much hope on her.

And she was right.

They were starving since they didn’t have anything to eat since breakfast.

Lin Xuan Qi felt his stomach growl after Xue Cong had asked and he replied, "We are indeed hungry..."
