Chapter 1047: Giving Porridge
When Gao Guojun was dragged out of the cage, he was already dying.
The flesh on his buttocks had been bitten off, after all, he was being chased by a group of sharks.
He was really regretting it at this moment. As happy as he had been when he released the group of sharks before, he hated it now.
The sharks didn't bite anyone else, they all bit him.
He forced himself to take a deep breath and murmured, "Marquis Zhan Yi, why don't you let me go? Silver Beach Island is now your territory!"
Zhan Yan nodded and said, "Of course I will let you go. However, I would like to remind Lord Gao not to try to take Yintan Island again. Otherwise, our Sheng Dynasty will directly send troops to invade your Gaoyou Kingdom!"
Gao Guojun quickly assured: "Don't worry, I will never have any improper thoughts about Sheng Chao again. I will keep my promise!"
Zhan Yan ignored him and ordered his men to let him and the remaining Gaoyou soldiers go.
Shan Rou led the troops to manage Yintan and formulated a very strict island protection plan.
Many nearby fishermen rushed over, all kneeling and shouting, "Thank you, Marquis Zhan Yi and his wife, for helping us capture Silver Beach!"
Lin Yiwan was also very happy, and she wanted to go diving to touch the pearls herself.
Zhan Yan took her into the water and put on simple diving equipment for her.
What's more, after some effort, she not only got a lot of pearls, but also found a red coral of excellent quality.
She decided to give it to Youyi. This was her territory and she would definitely like it!
Since Yintan still needs to be managed, Zhan Yan will stay for the time being.
Lin Yiwan was escorted back to Jiaodong Island by the navy, and she returned with a complete load.
Mo Lingyue personally led his men to greet them. He thanked them respectfully, "Thanks to my aunt and the Marquis, otherwise, we on Jiaodong Island would never have been able to take over Silver Beach so smoothly!"
Lin Yiwan said, "The Jiaodong Island navy is still well-trained. Ling Yue, you have to reward them first!"
Mo Lingyue nodded hurriedly, "Yes, I will definitely reward them. Aunt, do you want to stay in Jiaodong Island or return to Jingcheng?"
Lin Yiwan naturally wanted to go back to Jingcheng, as the children must have missed her.
As dusk approached, she saw Zhan Miao and Zhan Qingning, who were waiting anxiously, at the gate of Jingcheng City Lord's Mansion.
The little girl's eyes almost immediately turned red, and she cried, "Mom, you're finally back. I thought you didn't want us anymore!"
Lin Yiwan reached out and picked her up: "How could that be? Mother brought gifts for you and your sister. Let's go back and take a look first, okay?"
"Okay!" Zhan Miao agreed happily.
When Princess Youyi heard that she had returned, she immediately came forward to greet her.
Lin Yiwan quickly held her hand: "How have you been these past few days? Are you still vomiting a lot?"
Princess Youyi shyly shook her head. "I'm not vomiting anymore, and my appetite has improved. I can eat a lot now. Auntie, don't you see that I've gained a double chin?"
Lin Yiwan looked at her carefully. Although she didn't see such an exaggerated double chin, her complexion was indeed much better.
She said with satisfaction: "It seems that the fried stinky tofu played a very important role!"
Zhan Miao quickly said, "That's right. Sister Youyi eats it every day. Fried stinky tofu has become a must-have dish on the City Lord's Mansion's table!"
Youyi reached out and pinched her little face: "It's not me who's eating it. Aren't you and your brother Xuan also worried about not eating a meal?"
Lin Yiwan pretended to be disgusted: "Oh, then I have to stay away from you, it stinks!"
Zhan Miao immediately hugged her neck: "Don't hide, sister Youyi and I always rinse our mouths with mint water after eating, I smell good, if you don't believe me, just smell it!"
The scent of mint wafted out from her little mouth, making Lin Yiwan laugh and cry.
She asked Zi'er to distribute the gifts to everyone, and then she hurried to check Princess Youyi's pulse.
After not seeing her for a few days, she seemed to be much stronger.
Princess Youyi said, "Aunt, I've been able to eat, drink, and sleep these past few days. I'm even worried that I might become a fat girl."
Lin Yiwan comforted her: "No, the fat that didn't grow on your body has grown on the fetus. Don't worry too much!"
Princess Youyi breathed a sigh of relief. She was actually just hoping that the fetus would get better.
As the two were talking, a maid hurried in from outside and said, "Madam, the porridge shed in our City Lord's Mansion is ready, and all the ingredients for making porridge are ready. Shall we start now?"
Lin Yiwan looked at Princess Youyi curiously: "Why set up a porridge stall? Is there any special reason for it?"
Princess Youyi nodded. "Aunt, you probably don't know that most of the people in Jingcheng are fishermen. They value good luck before setting sail, so they ask the most prestigious people in the city for a bowl of porridge. As long as they drink it, they will have smooth sailing and return with a full load!"
Lin Yiwan immediately understood that this must be the rule of the island.
Since it is for fishermen to drink, we can't be careless.
She immediately said, "I'll go check the ingredients to make sure there are no omissions!"
Princess Youyi quickly said, "Aunt, I'll go with you!"
When the two came into the kitchen, they saw that the ingredients for making porridge were already placed on the chopping board.
After a careful examination, Lin Yiwan did not find anything abnormal.
She then asked, "Where do you get the water for cooking porridge?"
The kitchen manager immediately replied respectfully, "It's in the Qingquan Pond in the back mountain. The people of Jingcheng all get their water there, so there won't be any problems!"
Lin Yiwan smelled it but didn't say anything.
Princess Youyi asked cautiously, "Aunt, can we make porridge now? The fishermen are already queuing up at the porridge stall. I heard they're heading to Silver Beach this time!"
Lin Yiwan nodded: "Well, let's endure it first!"
After about two hours, the hot porridge was ready.
Lin Yiwan and Princess Youyi went to the porridge stall together and saw many people kneeling down to greet them: "Greetings to the City Lord's wife, the Marquis' wife!"
Princess Youyi was the first to speak: "Hurry up and get up. Anyone who has fishermen at home can go and get a bowl of hot porridge!"
The people ran around to tell each other and gathered towards the porridge stall.
At this time, there was a figure standing in the crowd. Her eyes were full of viciousness, and her face was filled with undisguised hideous hatred.
It couldn't be anyone else but Madam Qi. Ever since she was sent to the manor, her life has been extremely difficult.
She should have lived a life of luxury, but because she angered the Marquis's wife, she suffered a great punishment.
She really hated it!
She was used to sleeping in a warm and clean room and could no longer stand the smelly houses in the countryside.
She must come back!
However, as long as the Marquis was in Jingcheng for one day, his filial son would not take the initiative to pick her up.
Now, she could only find ways to drive them all away.
Thinking of this, a calculation flashed in her eyes.
Without any hesitation, she immediately walked quickly towards the little beggar not far away.
