The second set of cases in Case 7: The World's Granary has a guest...

  Today I learned another thing, which is that when coming into this world, one must learn to be pure. Otherwise, every day would be a performance of a fountain.

  Downstairs, I didn't expect to run into that hat-wearing man. You say even in ancient times, they're all mysterious. I quickly went forward to thank him: "Sir... shrimp, thanks for the horse."

  The man in the hat raised his face, I was on the stairs above him, he was below me, a black veil covering his face, and I still couldn't see his features. He cupped his hands: "Miss, no need to be polite, saving lives is urgent."

  Miss? It seems he's not a local, doesn't know I'm the Lady Protector. Right, and I didn't wear my hair in a bun, indeed looking like a young girl. Strange, why does his voice sound somewhat familiar?

  I smiled and stepped aside to let him pass, but he also stepped aside, and for a moment the two of us were stuck in an awkward little standoff.

  "Hmm... thank you." I lifted my skirt and walked down to his side, smelling the fragrance of a dan medicine similar to that of Xuanying Jade.

  "Miss." Suddenly, he called out to me, I turned around, and he made a fist with his hand, this time he was above me: "I'm being presumptuous, may I ask for your name?"

  "Hmm... a chance encounter, not worth mentioning." I smiled and left, feeling that the voice was quite familiar, but it wasn't Xuan Mingyu's. Who was it?

  As a result, the meal ended in their contemptuous gaze, too depressing. The most embarrassing thing is that Leng Yueyao kept asking me why I was spraying, saying that I must have been thinking of something pleasant at the time, it's pleasant, NP can't be happy, right? Speechless...

  On the way back, they ran into a luxurious sedan chair with a woman who was truly stunning. Her breasts were full and her buttocks were plump, and her skin seemed to glow in the air. However, when Nangong Qiuyue saw this person, she furrowed her brow and a hint of anger appeared on her face.

  I followed his gaze, but what I saw was another man. The man wore a black suit, but on the black suit were crimson patterns, the patterns looked like the roots of flowers, winding, twisted, and full of the black suit, making the black long shirt look bright.

  "Hou Xian!" The sudden exclamation from Chun Yu startled me a bit. That man was Hou Xian? On that night when I returned home, although San Fu and Si Shi were all standing in the courtyard, it was dark and I didn't get a clear look. This time I wanted to take a good look. But when I turned around again, there was no longer any sign of Hou Xian. In the end, I still didn't get to see what Hou Xian looked like.

  It was night, and Nan Gong Qiuyue followed me back to the courtyard after dinner, which made me very nervous. Because Xiao Jiu is in that courtyard now, if Nan Gong Qiuyue follows me back, if I say something wrong, Xiao Jiu will know that I got into trouble today, and my ears will be in trouble today.

  "Qiū Yuè, what's the matter?"

  Under the bright moon, Nan Gong Qiuxue looked at me seriously, her starry eyes seemed to merge with the night sky, making my heart beat faster and feel very nervous, would he ask me: Who are you?

  The air was quiet and windless, Nan Gong Qiuye blinked her eyes and smiled faintly: "Madam has had a hard day today, rest early."

  *sigh*... Let out a breath.

  Nan Gong Qiuyue is too clever, this matter can't be hidden for long. Looking up at the sky, if Nan Gong Qiuyue knew that I'm not as elegant and refined as he thought, would he still be so loyal to me? He's a talented individual, we must find a way to recruit him to our side.

  "Madam, shall we continue to deceive Mr. Nan Gong?" The voice of Xiao Ruo came from the room, and she had unknowingly walked to the corridor in front of the house.

  "Hasn't it been long enough, is she back yet?"

  "She? Shouldn't she be here soon? We've finished eating and still no sign of her?"

  I'm a bit puzzled, logically speaking, Xiaoyu should have martial arts skills, so why didn't she discover me returning to the courtyard?

  "But madam, Xiaoyu is afraid she will cause trouble."

  "Whether she causes trouble or not, these years have been too quiet for the world, the Feng family and the Xuan family. It's not a good thing. With her around, it's better to have some commotion."

  "But that is your body, madam."

  "Hmph, if that body wears me, can it be me?"

  "Madam..."

  I lifted up her skirt and said: "That's right, you've worn it out, now it's my turn to wear it."

  "Ah! When did you come back!" Xiao Ruo looked at me in surprise, while Xiao Jiu had already gotten onto the bed. I smiled and continued to be mischievous: "Don't worry, how could I cause trouble for you? Causing trouble for you is different from causing trouble for myself." It wasn't that I caused trouble, it's just that I hit your little cousin.

  "Hmph!" Xiao Jiu gave me a beautiful white eye, "Don't stir up trouble, or I won't be able to protect you. If it involves the nine clans, remember to divorce me first."

  Hey, this kid had even thought of an escape route.

  "By the way, I heard... that the Minister of Justice, Jia Mingkai is your distant uncle?" Testing the waters, to see how Feng Qingya gets along with this uncle.

  Jiǔ got up from bed, wearing a white small camisole: "What are you asking this for?"

  "Oh, I had dinner outside today and accidentally heard some rumors that seemed to be unfavorable towards Master Jia, so I'm worried it will affect my reputation."

  "Hmm." Xiaojiao sat cross-legged, her arms crossed. "Don't get involved in Jiamingkai's affairs, don't stir up trouble, just enjoy your privileges and let Chuyue and Nangong Qiuye handle the rest. You just focus on being the Duchess of Protection, got it?"

  "Understood. Can't I just be a rice worm? There are many rice worms in the Guardian's mansion, one more won't make a difference, heh heh."

  "Yes, Feng Jia has been raised." Xiaojiao said proudly, and it was interesting to hear this from a little loli's mouth.

  The matter of Baoyu's affair was temporarily hushed up, and for the next few days I kept a low profile. It wasn't that I was afraid of the Jia family, but rather that I found Xiangling annoying.

  After waiting for two days, the Jia family didn't come to the door, and it seemed that nothing was happening here at Xiaojiao's place. Apparently, this matter hadn't spread to the palace, so I felt relieved, but my butt couldn't sit still again, thinking about going out to have some fun.

  On this day, news came from outside that the envoys of Donglai State had come to offer gifts in gratitude for the help of the Xuan Yuan Dynasty during their disaster.

  Looks like something fun is going on again.

  This time, I thought of Chun Yu's affairs. What was it? It was that he was a descendant of the imperial chef, so the dishes he made must be delicious.

  The clouds are high and the wind is clear, it's another good weather. After all, when the world is at peace, I couldn't help but feel restless. This is called "the beauty of spring fills the garden, but cannot be contained by this red apricot blossom".

  Uh... Of course, I'm not going to flirt with anyone, it's just that I really don't want to stay in the yard and cultivate mushrooms.

  Unintentionally strolled into the distant dust's bamboo forest, lush and green all over, with the scent of bamboo in the wind. Looking at the new green shoots emerging from the soil, I couldn't help but smack my lips, this spring bamboo shoot is tender and fresh, just looking at it makes me want to eat it.

  "Ma'am?"

  A familiar voice came, I raised my eyes to see Yuandian standing under the dappled sunlight, still wearing white clothes. He always gave people a distant feeling. I looked at Chunjun again: "Yuandian, go and call Xiangxiang over."

  Yuandian didn't respond, he still stood there motionless. I looked at him and he gazed back at me calmly, his eyes without a ripple: "Does the lady want to eat bamboo shoots?"

  "Oh! You've figured it out?"

  Yuanchen nodded slightly: "Just now Yuanchen saw the lady staring at the spring bamboo shoots for a long time, and this time she called Chunyu Shilang again. Yuanchen guessed that the lady wanted to eat these shoots."

  "Haha, right? This bamboo shoot can't be eaten, can it?"

  Dust off lightly, squat down, gently stroke the new shoots: "Today you and your wife have a good affinity."

  A chill ran down my spine, and I felt guilty even eating bamboo shoots. But this wouldn't shake my determination to eat them. So I smiled and said, "Yes, the earlier you eat, the earlier you'll be reborn."

  Yuanchen turned his face to look at me, a hint of surprise in his eyes. Then, he smiled and stood up: "Yuanchen will go call Shunyu Shilang."

  "Thank you."

  It never occurred to me that not long after Yuanchen left, the housekeeper came running from afar. The old housekeeper was also like this, knowing he wasn't young anymore but still liking to run hastily. He ran in front of me and panted heavily just like before: "Huff huff huff! Master, mistress, come, guests have arrived!"

  "Oh?" Turning back to look at the bamboo shoots, he thought for a moment, "Alright, you tell Chunyu Shilang for me and let him dig the bamboo shoots obediently here."

  "Ah?" The old steward showed a sympathetic expression, shaking his head and sighing, "Steward Chun Yu is really pitiful."

  Heh... Sorry, little fox. I'm just bored, so I thought of bullying you. I don't know if it's your honor or misfortune.

  Xiao Lianzi and Xiao Linzi will be going to the PK arena together tomorrow, please everyone must support them a lot, hehe. As for the method of adding more updates, Xiao Lianzi will decide after seeing the situation tomorrow. You guys don't think about letting Xiao Lianzi get cheated again, using points to add more updates, Xiao Lianzi just wants to live through the new year.
