Chapter 58

  Recently, Lin Qingyu's life has been quite enjoyable and fulfilling.

  On one hand, teasing her own little white bun at home, making her own little bun look at her with tears in her eyes and a wronged expression before stopping; on the other hand, lying on a rocking chair with the thirteenth Fu Jin, eating pastries, cracking melon seeds, and sharing the latest gossip from the fourteenth mansion.

  Fortunately, Lin Qingyu was a cultivator, and her body wouldn't grow wildly like an ordinary person's. Otherwise, in these leisurely days, her golden ratio figure would have definitely developed horizontally. Who knows, maybe after a hundred years, she might become the first 'Fat Fu Jin' recorded in the history books of the Qing Dynasty!

  A series of intense infighting events occurred in the fourteen prefectures, leaving Lin Qingyu utterly stunned.

  For example, two days ago, Concubine Wu had a miscarriage. After investigation, it was found that another concubine, Zhang, had put three-edged powder into Concubine Wu's food out of jealousy.

  Although the two entered the mansion at the same time, with equal family status and position, why was she able to get pregnant? The lady even left a message saying that after giving birth to the child, she would be promoted, and afterwards, she would have to lower her head to others.

  It was actually done by Shu Shu Jiao Luo's people. Through Zhang Shi's personal maid, Zhang Shi was tempted to do this thing. Why did Shu Shu Jiao Luo want to do this? Because on the day Wu Shi announced her pregnancy, Shu Shu Jiao Luo's daughter contracted a cold and Wu Shi was blamed for it.

  For example, yesterday, Nian Gengyao and Ce Fu Jin Yirgen Jueluo met in the backyard. Nian Gengyao was lucky enough to avoid a black cat that pounced on her while she bent down to pick up her handbag which had fallen to the ground due to a broken strap.

  Cefujin Yirgen Giyoro was unfortunately scratched by a black cat's paw, and her face was scratched with several bloody marks. Because the paw had poison on it, after treatment by the imperial physician, she still had scars left behind.

  The result of the investigation was that Wu Shi hated Ni'er Guliya because she had a miscarriage and was jealous of her pregnancy. In fact, this matter was done by Yiru Gen Luo Shi who sent someone to seduce Wu Shi. Because she inadvertently heard that the 14th prince was very much looking forward to the child in Ni'er Guliya's belly, she was extremely jealous. Today, she deliberately met with Ni'er Guliya in the rear garden to see her downfall.

  Lin Qingyu sighed and said: It serves you right!

  For example, this morning, Niuhuru Yaya was walking in her own courtyard. Because of a slippery foot, she twisted her ankle and nothing else happened. The one who started it all, Irgen Arou clan's person, touched the scar on his face, gritted his teeth with hatred, and said: Good luck.

  There are countless such things. For example: inserting jasmine in flower arrangements; mosquito nets soaked in red flowers; food taboos; chicken soup made with special medicinal herbs; incense and charcoal for hand and foot care; cracked flower pot shoes; lip balm mixed with medicine; loose railings; hairpins, bracelets, and handkerchiefs coated with medicine... one after another, it's truly an eye-opener for Lin Qingyu, the wisdom of the ancients is not to be underestimated.

  What a pity! Such a wonderful truth can't be shared with the thirteen brothers and sisters. Who let this be an investigation from the sticky stick?

  Lin Qingyu's face fell, thinking that Mingming had such abilities at the Sticky Pole Pavilion. If it weren't for his own contribution of martial arts secrets, would the Sticky Pole Pavilion have developed to its current state? Would they be able to collect the desired information without alarming anyone, including the one on the Dragon Throne?

  How hateful, wanting to know the inside story of the fourteen mansions is still better than trying to please Yongzheng for a night. Rubbing his sore waist, he muttered angrily to himself.

  Lin Qingyu sat under the Osmanthus tree in the backyard, and the fragrance came one thread at a time. The small petals can emit a charming and long-lasting fragrance, making people feel happy and relaxed. It made Lin Qingyu's mood better for no reason.

  Hong Hao sat crookedly on his mother's lap, playing with building blocks, and looked at his mother's face with a puzzled expression, wondering if his mother was "crazy" again?

  What does 'kuang feng' mean? Xiao Baozi looks puzzled! However, Ama said that Mama's behavior is called 'kuang feng'. According to Ama, Mama was the first one who used this term.

  Or else, I'll ask Mother another day what "抽风" means. Honghui is a good and studious child, Ama said so, if you don't understand, you should ask!

  Hóng Hào little baozi, if you really ask your mom this question, she will definitely cry! She definitely will!

  Lin Qingyu came back to her senses and saw that her own little bun was tilting its head, looking at her with a bewildered expression. The silly and cute appearance made Lin Qingyu's heart flutter, and she couldn't help but let out a string of pink hearts. She picked up the little bun from her leg and kissed it fiercely several times before hugging it tightly and rubbing it all over.

  After giving birth to the child, her already full chest became even wider. As a result, poor little Baozi was suffocated by his mother's soft breasts and became dizzy, causing him to struggle and kick in his mother's arms.

  When the thirteenth Fu Jin, Zhao Jia Shi, came in, it was this familiar scene that made people cry and laugh. In her heart, Zhao Jia Shi secretly said: "Hóng Hào nephew, you've worked hard, with an out-of-tune mother! Thirteen Auntie has come to save you!"

  "Hong Yao's nephew, come give Auntie Thirteen a hug!"

  Zhao Jia rescued Xiao Baozi from Lin Qingyu's arms, and Xiao Baozi's small face was red and swollen, as if stained with the best rouge, tempting people to want to take a bite. Zhao Jia looked at him with joy, hugged him tightly, and kissed him several times. In her heart, she secretly thought: Later, I will also give birth to a lovely baby like Xiao Baozi! Absolutely won't be like Fourth Aunt, being an irresponsible mother, teasing Xiao Baozi all the time. Eh, just kissing is enough!

  Dear, you've already become a negative teaching material, be careful!

  Hong Yao took a few deep breaths, puffed out his chest, and looked up at the sky with tears welling up in his eyes. He thought to himself: Mama, come back quickly and save Hong Yao! His mother is bullying him again!

  Huh, another word that Hongyue doesn't understand has appeared.

  Hong Yao tilted his head, the two words "abuse" were heard by Mo Jue's aunt when she complained that E Niang was abusing herself. At that time, E Niang was just like Hong Yao just now, so Xiao Bao remembered it very cleverly.

  "Uh-huh, Hongyao's little fist clenched. Tonight must not sleep early, when whispering to Ama, remember to ask Ama what 'destruction' means?"

  Is this a confession of guilt? Lin Qingyu heard the truth and cried!

  "Fourth sister, do you know about the rumors in the capital for almost a week now?" Zhao Jia thought of the reason she came and leaned against Hong E with her body turned sideways, saying to Lin Qingyu.

  Lin Qingyu shifted her gaze from her son's face and looked at Zhao Jia with a puzzled expression, asking: "What message?"

  Her recent attention was half on the fourteen mansions and half on her own mansion. Therefore, she really didn't know what had happened in the capital city.

  Zhao Jia glanced around, covering Hong Yao's ears and leaning in close to Lin Qingyu, whispering: "Fourth sister, you don't know, but recently within a week, many desiccated corpses have appeared near the capital! It's said that they all died from having their blood sucked dry. The people of the capital are in an uproar! Fourth sister, do you think it's the work of mountain spirits or ghosts?"

  As she spoke, Zhao Jia's fingers brushed against the goosebumps rising on her skin. She felt a chill run down her spine and shivered, shrinking her neck into her shoulders.

  "Mummified corpse??"

  Lin Qingyu let out a cry of surprise, her expression somewhat uncertain.

  "Is it something that has appeared in the past week?"

  Zhao Jia thought Lin Qingyu was just scared, so she didn't take it seriously. The first time she heard about it, she was frightened and her whole body trembled. So she advised: "Fourth sister, don't be afraid, I'm just joking! What ghost is there? It's all nonsense! Now the capital city is under martial law, the whole city is being searched, and the murderer will definitely be caught, so don't worry!"

  Lin Qingyu couldn't help but laugh and cry, she wasn't afraid! A dignified cultivator, how could they be afraid of a murderer? What they feared was that the murderer in here might not be an ordinary person!

  I don't know if it's psychological, but looking at the somewhat overcast weather outside, Lin Qingyu secretly thought: The capital city has actually appeared with a desiccated corpse, does the Qing dynasty also have demonic cultivators?
