Chapter 6487 She's a money-grubber.

Lan Rui entered the courtyard and asked Luo Bi, "Do you still have any millet rats?"

Luo Bi asked, "What are you doing?"

Lan Rui then told Luo Bi, "The millet rat we traded for wild boar meat yesterday escaped. My mercenary group caught a lot of river clams today, and I'd like to trade them for the millet rat. Do you want some river clams?"

"How many river clams are there?" Robbie wanted to eat some.

"About a hundred jin," Lan Rui said.

Luo Bi was greedy: "I want them all."

Lan Rui raised an eyebrow, blinked, and looked at Luo Bi, saying, "If you want them all, you'll need at least ten millet rats."

Luo Bi knew and nodded.

Lan Rui glanced around the small courtyard and said arrogantly, "My brother Feng Ling has a noble status. It's not something anyone can do by playing some tricks to keep his wife's position. What? You came to Zhuoxing to live a pastoral life, hoping to appear as serene and unassuming as an orchid? For members of the royal family, power and status are the most important things."

Luo Bi started looking at Lan Rui with disdain. She was overthinking it. She never bothered with men. She wasn't Bai Yanyan, nor was she Xue Wan. What kind of look was that? Lan Rui actually thought she was pretending to be aloof and indifferent.

Oh, she's obsessed with money.

"Should I relay this to Feng Ling?" Luo Bi asked Lan Rui.

Lan Rui: "..."

"I'm just offering kind advice." Lan Rui, holding the car keys, looked every bit the young master of a wealthy family. "As you probably know, Thunderflame Warriors have long lifespans, while women have short lifespans. Aren't you afraid that Thunderflame Warriors will fall for younger women?"

Luo Bi thought that this wouldn't hurt her, since Feng Ling shared her lifespan.

Even though Feng Ling has now stopped sharing lifespans, Luo Bi's lifespan is still longer than that of the other women.

Lan Rui's mercenary group had just returned and hurriedly went back.

Luo Bi was displeased and went to find Wei Hu and Zhu Xingjie: "Your Shushu Jun, stop wasting time dressing up the other Shushu. Use your Shushu, twenty of them, to re-tied their little pigtails and go exchange them for river clams."

Wei Tuo was taken aback: "Who are you going to scam?"

Luo Bi didn't like hearing that: "Who said we went to scam people?"

Wei Tu smiled, caught twenty millet rats, and called Zhu Xingxu and a few others to tie small hairpins for the millet rats. Huang Xinling saw this and ran over, her eyes shining as she contributed a few hairpins.

"Can I have one to raise?" Huang Xinling asked Luo Bi.

Luo Bi didn't stop her, but said, "Let's wait a couple of days."

Huang Xinling was overjoyed and ran to show off to Wei Ying and the others. When He Xiang and Jiang Rao'er came over and saw the little girl with her hair in a small bun and wearing a sparkly hair clip, their expressions lit up.

The millet rat was thrown into the bamboo basket. Luo Bi had Wei Tu drive the military hovercar to Lan Rui's house, with Zhu Xingrong and Zhu Xingzhi following. The children could go and help choose the ingredients, deciding which ones were best.

Lan Rui's courtyard was bustling with activity. Jiang Yuanqing was also there. Hearing that Lan Rui had caught some river delicacies, everyone wanted to buy some.

When Luo Bi arrived, she directly traded eleven millet rats for over a hundred catties of river clams, as well as ten crucian carp. Zhan Shao saw that each millet rat was handsome and made the trade.

The ingredients for dinner were amazing again. Madam Zhu was in charge of cooking, and she stir-fried fifty catties of river clams with chili. Everyone ate to their heart's content and was very happy. Jiang Rao'er was so glad that she could come to Zhuoxing.

The next morning, Lan Rui and Zhan Shao got up and saw that the courtyard had collapsed. Their expressions were as if they had been struck by lightning.

"What, what happened?"

What happened? Luo Bi risked twenty millet rats, and in one night the rats ransacked Lan Rui's courtyard. They dared to say all sorts of nonsense to her; why should Luo Bi be polite? (End of Chapter)
