Fifty-Seventh Chapter

  If Lin Qingyu knew about Ni Cui's thoughts, she would only say: Girl, you're really thinking too much!

  She saw Niu Kui Yu Ya's eyes flickering, her face changing from cloudy to sunny, and she kept staring at herself without stopping. Lin Qingyu suddenly became curious about what this 'fellow villager' was thinking, wondering what kind of trickery was going on in her mind?

  Lin Qingyu's eyes rolled over, thinking that since she was bored anyway, let her take a look at this so-called 'fellow countryman' and see what he would do.

  Then, she released her divine consciousness and slowly sensed the thoughts of Yu Ya: "Yu Ya, from now on, if you know that you have lost the throne, don't blame me. If you want to blame someone, blame your empress for not being able to give birth to a child named 'Qianlong'. Alas... it's really fate playing tricks on people! Who made 'Kangxi' old man have poor eyesight and couldn't discover this shining pearl that is me, and didn't appoint me as your empress?

  Lin Qingyu was speechless, this woman Nalan Xiyue was really self-absorbed! What made Lin Qingyu puzzled was that she had managed to get pregnant under the nose of Wanyan family and even concealed it for three whole months, how could she still pretend to be so 'pure' (foolish)?

  Did you really think that relying on a small child would allow you to obtain the most noble 'throne' in the world?

  Life is not, and will not be that simple! Otherwise, why would everyone still need to use all sorts of tactics, fighting each other to the death? It's better to just go home and become a 'stud horse', having children.

  Actually, Lin Qingyu misunderstood!

  It's not that Ni Yu Ya is so capable and skilled in house fighting, but rather she has been a bit luckier! Perhaps this good fortune is the benefit of her transmigration!

  Since she entered the 14th courtyard, these past few months in the 14th mansion can be said to have been chaotic. Although there weren't any earth-shattering events, some trivial matters kept happening, annoying Consort Yuan to no end.

  Things like water flowing in the backyard, kitchen fires, maids hanging themselves, and concubines having miscarriages happened one after another without stopping, causing Wan Yan to be scolded by her husband for being unlucky. After a thorough investigation, Wan Yan found that it was not intentional sabotage, but rather a series of unfortunate accidents, so she felt that the year was inauspicious and spent every day either worshiping Buddha with Eighth Lady or going to the temple to pray for good fortune with Ninth Lady.

  As a result, the backyard is inevitably a bit slack. In addition, Mrs. Nuo gave Yu Ya an experienced and sharp-eyed nurse, and a maid who knew some medical skills. Of course, this was also the standard of people she could bring into the palace as a princess.

  Thirteen Fu Jin saw Lin Qingyu not responding, staring blankly ahead, gently shaking Lin Qingyu's right arm, "Fourth sister, fourth sister, fourth sister..."

  The swing of the arm brought Lin Qingyu back to her senses, and she smiled apologetically at Thirteen Furen, asking: "Thirteen Brother's wife, did you call me?"

  "Hmm!" The thirteenth Fu Jin nodded, "Fourth sister, what were you just looking at? You were so distracted that you didn't even react when I called you!"

  "I'm watching the side concubine of the 14th brother, Niu Kui Lü Yu Ya!"

  The thirteenth Fu Jin followed Lin Qingyu's line of sight and saw that behind Wanyan Shi was a beautiful woman wearing a pink flag dress, who glanced at her mouth and said: "She looks okay! Fourth sister, I think she is not as good-looking as you!"

  Lin Qingyu heard this and her eyes widened with excitement, "I'm not looking at her because she's pretty! Hehehe, just wait and see, there will be a good show later!"

  Good show? The 13th Fu Jin heard the words, tilted her head in contemplation, looking at Niu Ke Lü=good show, could it be that Fourth Aunt discovered something? Then, turning her head with piercing eyes to look at Lin Qing Yu, "Fourth Aunt, what's going on?"

  "Hehe, saying it out loud would spoil the fun!" Lin Qingyu shook her head, "Just wait and see! Today's banquet is going to be lively!"

  "Fourth sister, you're too wicked, intentionally teasing people's appetite!" The 13th Fu Jin looked at Lin Qingyu's expression and knew she wouldn't say it out loud, but was scratching her heart with itchiness, somewhat flustered.

  As soon as the two men finished speaking, the scene began to change.

  Only one maid came over with a tray from behind Niu Yu Ya, and when she passed by her side, the sole of her flower pot shoe suddenly broke, lost balance, and fell to the ground. The tray in her hand clattered to the ground, while Niu Yu Ya happened to turn sideways at this moment, dodging the maid's collision!

  It wasn't that she had a premonition, but rather that she had just turned her head after staring at Lin Qingyu and saw the most beautiful woman in the Qing dynasty besides Lin Qingyu. So, out of curiosity, she wanted to get closer to take a clearer look. It was this curiosity that inadvertently avoided the possibility of a miscarriage.

  Wanyan's luck wasn't as good as Nalan Yiru's! The maid, due to inertia, couldn't stop herself and, with the added slipperiness of the tea water spilled on the ground, crashed right into Wanyan.

  The big girl and the nurse of the Wanyan family rushed over to catch their own lady, but unfortunately, the force was too great, and in an instant, the four people rolled into a ball.

  The maids around her quickly rushed over and helped her mistress up, but the lady was no longer as radiant and elegant as she had been before.

  All that could be seen was that the beautiful flag dress was stained with tea, the exquisite flag head on her head was tilted, hairpins and other things fell to the ground, the delicate white jade bangle on her hand was broken into several sections, and there were still some bruises on her face, her whole face was pale.

  "Hmph, Fourth Sister, I really want to laugh!" The 13th Fu Jin tried her best not to let the laughter out, that would be too rude. But her eyes were full of amusement and couldn't be hidden. It wasn't that she didn't have sympathy, it's just that normally, Wanyan was a very proud person, always presenting a perfect image of elegance in front of people. Now, this weak appearance like a 'damaged flower' was really too different.

  "Pfft, I want to laugh too!" Lin Qingyu couldn't help but feel a little amused. This is what they mean by 'reverse moe'!

  The lady of the Wanyan family, calm and collected, ordered her maids to take away the maid who had offended her. Then, with a seemingly elegant bow, she excused herself to change her clothes, slowly walked out the door, and suddenly quickened her pace, disappearing from everyone's sight.

  After the disappearance of Wei Yan, the sound of stifled laughter slowly rose. Lin Qingyu turned her head to see that everyone was smiling. No way, ancient women, even when laughing, had to laugh very softly and pay attention not to show their teeth, it's really uncomfortable! Lin Qingyu covered her mouth with a handkerchief and laughed while thinking.

  When Wanyan returned, refreshed and dressed up, it was already time for dinner.

  The management skills of the Wan family are unquestionable, and the banquet was arranged perfectly, with a great atmosphere. What pleased Lin Qingyu the most was that the dishes on the table were really well-made, although not as good as those in her own mansion, but still quite to her taste. Lin Qingyu ate very contentedly and had already forgotten about paying attention to the 'troublemaker' 'small button'. So, when she heard a string of urgent calls, she was suddenly startled and dropped the white jade chopsticks in her hand.

  "Oh heavens! Gege, gege, gege, what's wrong with you?"

  "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and go invite Imperial Physician!" Fourteenth Prince yelled at the small eunuch who was standing there in a daze.

  Lin Qingyu didn't need to turn her head to know what was going on! Regrettably, she glanced at the delicious food on the table, put down the chopstick in her hand, and turned her head: as expected, Nalan Yurong had fainted into the arms of her personal maid.

  Okay, at the beginning, Lin Qingyu was actually quite surprised that Nalan Xiyue could attend this banquet, it seems that she is quite popular with the 14th master!

  Lin Qingyu stroked her nose and chuckled. Later, when the imperial physician examined her and found out she was three months pregnant, the expression on Wanyan's face must have been quite amusing! She wondered why every pregnant woman seemed to enjoy putting on a 'fainting' act?

  However, 14th brother, you should pay attention too!

  You should still consider the dignity of your own wife, no matter how much you spoil someone! Why are you so excited and loudly cheering that you've become a father? It's not like you haven't been one before! Acting like an ignorant fool is what's going on here? Didn't you see the instant stiffness in Wan Yan's smiling expression? This absolutely adds to the hatred value!

  The infighting skills of the Wanyan family are not ordinary, Nianzhen has the privilege of crossing over with 'good luck', plus the help of experienced and capable servants, haha, it seems that the backyard of the fourteenth will have a stir!

  Lin Qingyu said she would prepare a rocking chair, melon seeds and snacks, and wait to watch the show!
