Brother-in-law.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t used to it but he was able to address Lin Xuan Qi correctly at the last minute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah Di was still young and Lin Xuan Qi didn’t want him to live his life without any agency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Ah Di was his brother-in-law, he could let Ah Di live a comfortable life in the mansion for the rest of his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he knew that if he did so, Ah Di would most likely become a young master or an antsy adult later in life due to the fact that Ah Di would have nothing much to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was only human nature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Either outcome wouldn’t be a satisfactory one for everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to let Ah Di make a choice and see if he could help the clan in any other ways would be better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Take a seat and have tea. You are no longer my servant.\" Lin Xuan Qi saw that Ah Di was still standing so he offered him a seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah Di wasn’t used to the change in his status yet and it took him a while to take his seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan Qi poured him a cup of tea and said, \"If you are feeling uncomfortable with the treatment you are getting, please don’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can help me out in the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Help out in what ways?\" Ah Di opened his eyes and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can choose to help out in the business, learn a skill or study.\" Lin Xuan Qi said and Ah Di lowered his head to think about all the options.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Business... skill... study...\" Ah Di mumbled to himself, unsure of what would be the best for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan Qi didn’t want to intervene and let Ah Di choose for himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There’s no hurry, you can think about it slowly.\" He said, much to the relief of Ah Di.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Any option that Ah Di chose would be useful to Ah Di and him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For business, Ah Di could help in managing the workers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would be great for Ah Di to learn a skill to be able to make a living on his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And lastly, if he studied hard, Ah Di could go the scholar route and maybe get into governance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After dealing with Magistrate Ho, Lin Xuan Qi felt that it would be advantageous to have someone on the inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was still early now as Ah Di was still young.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was more than enough time for him to make a decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for whether Ah Di would want to become a cultivator, it would also be his choice later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that would be after he figured things out for Xue Cong and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come, let’s have a fishing competition.\" Lin Xuan Qi glanced at Ah Di and invited him to join Zhi Yong in fishing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the thing about Ah Di’s future off his chest, he was now in the mood to fish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah Di nodded his head and they joined in with Zhi Yong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Xue Cong passed by the garden and saw what they were doing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She shook her head at them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was getting cold and they were out by the side of the pond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wanted to stop them but didn’t when she saw them having a good time together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, me catch!\" Zhi Yong stood up and shouted when he saw his fishing rod moving vigorously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan Qi quickly ran over and shouted, \"Wait, let me help!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah Di tried to help, standing by the side, getting ready to net the fish when it was out of the water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Get ready a pot of hot tea for them.\" Xue Cong shook her head and sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Men... she thought silently to herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she was glad to see Lin Xuan Qi being able to take a break and enjoy himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had been so long since he had a break again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will get it done.\" Xiu, who was with Xue Cong, bowed to Xue Cong and got to work with what Xue Cong had instructed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Lu Ting opened the window of her suite in the inn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An eagle soaring in the sky saw it and swooped down towards the opened window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It stopped and stood on the latch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ting opened the pouch that was secured to one of its legs and opened it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Much to her disappointment, there was nothing but a letter in it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She read the letter, skipping through the usual nagging from her father telling her to return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And when she got to the latter part of the letter, she was told that there weren’t any stock for the Spirit Herbs that she had requested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She crunched the letter and threw it aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ting felt regret about not bringing along a voice transmitting pendant when she sneaked out from home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not, she would be able to pester her father to help her immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was too late for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She would be under heavy guards and surveillance if she returned back home to the capital city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That put her in a bit of a fix.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t want to break her promise to Lin Xuan Qi and also give up on the chance to get closer to him for now.\u003C\u002Fp>",1047,"2026-06-03T13:58:56.971Z",1,"novelbin.me","703f11cead13bdf424092287ddecce3270c54834c334ac53f3467832d25e9b29","clan-prosperity-starting-with-my-servant-girls-chapter-283","clan-prosperity-starting-with-my-servant-girls-chapter-281",469,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fclan-prosperity-starting-with-my-servant-girls-cover.jpg"]
