Xiao Lingyu nodded. "I'm fine. I'm just hungry. I'll go and see if mom has made the noodles."


Xiao Zhengyang nodded and said, "Okay!"


When Xiao Lingyu walked into the kitchen, her expression was lively. "Mom, you're done with the noodles?"


Mother Xiao and Liu Chunhua looked at Xiao Lingyu. They couldn't detect any traces of tears. This confused Liu Chunhua. Still, she asked worriedly, "Yu 'Er, are you alright?"


Xiao Lingyu smiled and said, "Fourth aunt, I'm fine! Look at me, don't I look fine?" The redness in her eyes had subsided, and no one could tell that she had cried.


Mother Xiao stared at her with a suspicious expression and asked, "Yu 'Er, your fourth aunt said that you were crying in your room. What's going on?"


"What?" Xiao Lingyu smiled and said, "Mother, Fourth Aunt must have heard wrongly. Fourth Aunt, I wasn't crying."


Now, even Liu Chunhu wondered if she had misheard everything.


Mother Xiao stared at Xiao Lingyu for a long time. In the end, she only said, "Alright, your noodles are ready. Take the bowl and go eat."


Xiao Lingyu was indeed a little hungry. Now that she smelled the fragrance of the noodles, she was even hungrier. "Hmm, it smells so good!"


After Xiao Lingyu left, Liu Chunhua frowned. "Perhaps I was wrong."


Mother Xiao shook her head, "Chunhua, I don't think you're wrong. Yu 'Er must have used some method to clean up the signs. However, since she doesn't want us to worry, we'll just go along with it." Sometimes, they couldn't help how stubborn and headstrong how Xiao Lingyu was.


Xiao Lingyu walked back to the living room with the noodles. Xiao Zhengyang and the village chief were still sitting there with serious expressions. Xiao Lingyu asked, "Dad, what's going on?"


Xiao Zhengyang asked seriously, "Yu 'Er, do you know that some of the flowers in our courtyard are extremely precious? They are worth hundreds of thousands."


"What?" Xiao Lingyu was also surprised when she heard this. "Are those flowers that precious?" Xiao Lingyu was in her room when Old Master Gong gave the detailed prices of the flowers. She knew they were expensive, but she didn't expect them to have such impossible prices!


"That's right!" Xiao Zhengyang explained, "During dinner, the old master said the giant crinum lily is worth around five thousand RMB. The sword-leaved cymbidium is worth fifty to eighty thousand RMB. The chrysanthemum with the beard is actually a rare breed called Si Zang Zhu Lian..."


Xiao Lingyu's mouth fell wide open. Now she understood why someone ordered Lan Hongxing to snatch their flowers in her previous life. The culprit feared that her family would find out the flowers' worth. After all, the Xiao Family was almost at the end of their rope. With the flowers, they could earn a lot of money.
