Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System Chapter 1270 - 1146: Calling Each Other Sisters (Part 2)

However, at this moment, as Leng Yu suddenly knelt down with a thud, it left her momentarily stunned.
There was no way around it; as a person from later times, trying to adapt to such circumstances was still a priority and quite challenging.
Especially now, as this young girl unexpectedly knelt down, it made her feel a bit difficult to accept, and she also felt a bit sorry for the girl.
But after all, her daughter-in-law was still by her side, and as the mother-in-law, she certainly couldn’t show any other expressions and couldn’t let the other party misunderstand her.
After all, in her heart, she only acknowledged Xiao Zihan as her daughter-in-law.
If her son really wanted to take a concubine, she would be the first to stand up and oppose it.
Even though he is now the Emperor, it is absolutely impossible.
Of course, even though she disagreed in her heart with this girl having any relationship with her son, this did not mean that she, as the Empress Dowager, would not show a kindly side.
Especially when she saw this young girl, she instantly knew that the girl must have gone through a lot and was definitely a person with a bitter fate.
This is exactly why, after this kneeling, all her previous dissatisfaction with the young girl vanished into thin air.
Although there was no longer the hostility in her gaze towards Leng Yu as before, when she looked at her son, her eyes still carried a strong warning meaning.
This scene made Xiao Zihan watching beside them curve her lips into a smile.
Of course, after being helped up by the Empress Dowager, Leng Yu, holding Xiaoluo Ning, felt an inexplicable relief.
It turned out that this was the Emperor’s princess.
And judging by her age, obviously she was no longer just one or two years old. Looking at a child this age, it’s clear that the Emperor had her before he knew him.
For this reason, Leng Yu’s heart released a long sigh of relief, realizing that the Emperor hadn’t deceived her before; it was she who had been overthinking all along.
The feeling that allowed Leng Yu to let out a long breath was like removing a big rock from her chest.
Even though seeing Xiao Zihan had initially made her want to retreat, realizing now that she hadn’t lost to Xiao Zihan gave her true relief.
After all, this way, it also proved that she wasn’t much worse than Xiao Zihan, but just because Xiao Zihan knew the Emperor first.
Another point is that Leng Yu had already believed the words Lin Yi had said before; she believed that Lin Yi really hadn’t deceived her.
Indeed, Lin Yi had gotten married.
Although he got married and took a queen here, it seemed more like a formality. Surely in heaven, these two had already become a couple.
This relief made Leng Yu’s originally tense expression soften a lot, and she finally showed a smile.
Of course, this smile was naturally for Xiaoluo Ning, and for some reason, this little girl was extremely fond of Leng Yu, clinging to her and refusing to come down.
Even later, when Lin Yi wanted to take her away, the little girl simply refused.
This scene brought infinite joy to Leng Yu’s heart. She never expected the young princess to like her so much, which made her a little smug for a moment, especially when looking at Lin Yi, that smugness was written all over her face.
"How is it? Is everything in Yan Country handled properly?"
It was also because of Xiaoluo Ning’s presence that broke this layer of estrangement. This let Leng Yu, as if opening her heart, instantly return to the previous state.
There was no doubt, this was something Lin Yi had not anticipated; he never thought that this knot in Leng Yu’s heart would be so easily opened by his precious daughter.
And this directly thwarted his plan to settle Leng Yu in Yan Country for the long term.
This way, as long as this girl figured it out, even if she wanted to stay in the Capital City, it wouldn’t be impossible.
Of course, after all, there were some topics to talk about, so he asked Leng Yu about the situation over there, and she nodded in response:
"Everything on that side is proceeding according to plan, and all members of the royal family have been completely removed.
Not only that, all the counties and government departments are under our control.
Nowadays, our control over Yan Country has reached almost ten tenths.
Completely eliminating any ideas they might have had."
Hearing this, Lin Yi nodded in satisfaction. He was quite assured of Leng Yu’s capabilities, whether it be Yan Country or Zhao Country, every city taken would have Leng Yu handle the aftermath, and she never disappointed him.
The only headache for him was that this girl’s motives were a bit impure, to put it plainly, this girl was quite enamored with him physically.
"It’s only been a few months since the minister left, and unexpectedly, such earth-shattering changes have occurred in the Capital City.
This city’s expansion outward has stretched quite far, and the internal changes are quite significant, which greatly surprises the minister.
For a while, upon arrival, I couldn’t even recognize this as the Capital City."
To be honest, Leng Yu wasn’t flattering, nor was she exaggerating, but it was truly so.
Speaking of the changes in the Capital City, it was indeed an earth-shattering transformation, it can be said without exaggeration, today’s Capital City has accelerated its process by decades or even hundreds of years.
Let alone for someone like Leng Yu who left a few months ago, even someone who had left for a month would be equally shocked upon return, amazed by the vastness of today’s changes, suggesting that a change every day isn’t excessive.
Especially the construction of those residential areas, which seems different each day.
As those buildings sprang up overnight, they directly changed this history completely.
Furthermore, nowadays the internal roads of the Capital City started to be hardened with cement, making them look smoother and cleaner.
Even in rainy weather, there wasn’t a trace of mud on the streets, making walking on them extremely comfortable.
Looking at Leng Yu’s shocked expression and her amazed face, Lin Yi couldn’t help but curve his lips, revealing a smile of pride.
"Well, if truth be told, all of this is the Empress’s credit; it’s the Empress organizing all of this. It can be said that the business department and all the finances of Dayou Country are being managed by the Empress.
Everything you see, everything different from before, comes from the research of the Empress and her department."
It must be said, Lin Yi’s words didn’t contain an ounce of exaggeration; indeed, these things were all from Xiao Zihan’s hand.
But these words, when heard by Leng Yu, made her suddenly open her small mouth, and with a face full of disbelief, she looked towards the Empress beside her, immediately pulling the Empress’s hand and saying in shock:
"Empress sister, is all this true? You are so amazing; you have such talent, could you teach me?"
Indeed, don’t doubt it, in just such a short period, these two women already were referring to each other as sisters; aren’t their little hands intertwined at this moment?
And after hearing Leng Yu’s words, Xiao Zihan also smiled, nodding to her:
"Teaching you is no problem at all; if you want to learn, I will teach you whatever you want to learn, but the only concern I have now is how the Emperor will be able to let you a talent like you, be handed over to me?
Hehe, I heard from the Emperor that you possess the skills to expand territories.
And my abilities are just defending the city, compared to your ability to expand territories,
