The Second Volume of Case by Case, The Granary of Heaven Chapter 7: Even Toilets Can Make Money

  Rushed to the toilet, really urgent, walked into one, found no toilet paper, went to another. But just after I went in, someone came in next door. That room had no toilet paper either.

  Out of a spirit of friendly mutual assistance, I handed over the toilet paper from above the wooden door: "Here."

  The person next door had been silent for a long time and quickly took over the tissue. Then, coincidentally, I went out with her, and I casually glanced at the neighbor next door, who was adjusting her clothes. As soon as I saw this, I immediately withdrew my gaze. Who would have thought that it was actually Huang Hou Feng Xue Yin! How did she end up here? This is definitely something I couldn't reveal that I knew her, but how should I greet her?

  She turned her face sideways and smiled at me with a nod. I also returned a smile, and she went to the sink, unexpectedly making me worry for nothing.

  As I went out, her female bodyguard was standing at the door as expected. I showed surprise and stood still, always being a step ahead of the national protector, now doing something beneath her, and for a moment didn't know how to react, so I used stillness to cover up all possible weaknesses.

  "What's your name?" Feng Xue asked with a faint smile, I lowered my head: "I... no, no, no, I'm a slave, a girl from the 'Hundred Flowers Palace', named Xi Yangyang."

  "Oh?" She seemed to have looked at me for a while, "En, reward." As soon as the words fell, the female guard rewarded me with a silver ingot. I immediately accepted it and bowed my head: "Thank you, sir, for your reward, thank you, sir, for your reward."

  I waited until Feng Xueyin's footsteps faded away before slowly straightening my waist, looked at the silver for a while, and thought to myself, "My luck with wealth hasn't decreased. Previously, I was liked by Xuan Yuan Yifei, now I'm liked by Feng Xueyin. Before even starting business, I've already earned ten taels of silver.

  Right, my silver. I hurriedly went around to the back of the toilet and found where I had buried my silver. Started digging a hole.

  "Madam, slow down, slow down." It was Xiaoyao's voice. I immediately stopped in my tracks. Today is indeed lively.

  "I can't do it, I just can't! Xiao Ruo, I really can't do it!" Feng Qingya seemed very agitated, what was she unable to do?

  "Madam... Xiaoyu only just understood. It's really hard to be someone else... We've been with Lu Renjia for so long, but we can't be as smooth-talking as her. If Madam could be like her, perhaps she would have escaped everything already."

  "What on earth did she do?! How exactly did she manage to do it?! Why can she smile and joke in front of Xuan Yuan Yi Fei, while I couldn't even force a smile? Why can she be so shameless in front of anyone, while I couldn't even bring myself to humble myself?"

  They want to be like me? A bit strange, wasn't it always looking down on me before? Hehe. Now you know the benefits of being like me, huh?

  "You are you!" Suddenly, Nan Gong Qiuyue's voice appeared again, but unlike when she spoke to Hou Xian, it was as gentle as the wind as it had been in the past. I didn't move, really wanting to see what kind of expression they would have.

  "Qiu Yue? Have you heard any news about Lu Renjia these past few days?" It turns out that Nan Gong has been looking for me all this time.

  "There's no need...to be elegant. Now that she's gone, you can just be yourself, no need to deliberately learn from her."

  "But Mingyu likes autumn. Mingyu had never truly smiled at me before, but these days, his smiles are all real. He chased after me to ask what that sigh was for the other day? But I really didn't know, I really didn't know which day Mingyu was talking about."

  That day, how did she meet Mingyu, what did she say to him, and what did she do? Why was she able to capture Mingyu's heart so easily? Autumn Ye, how did she manage to do it! Why does everyone mention her, pay attention to her, and like her, as if the whole world is revolving around her, who, who, who is she!

  "Calm, serene, and tranquil." The gentle voice of Nangong Qiuxue stirred people's hearts. He used his unique tenderness to soothe the turbulent emotions that were as clear and elegant as a breeze. "If only I knew where she was..."

  "Qiū Yuè. What exactly did you do to her that day! Why did I wake up in your room? And she's already gone, if you found a way to switch souls why didn't you notify me in advance, we still need her."

  "This is unexpected, we can't control the will of heaven..." Nan Gong Qiuyue's words were laced with helplessness.

  The corners of your mouth are raised, Nangong Qiuxue. Have you completely forgotten me? This is the punishment for your arrogance! You're not a god who can control everyone's fate, you're just an ordinary person!

  "Qiū Yuè, go back to the Shadow Palace and find out what happened to her. Her existence is a threat to us, you must investigate thoroughly!" Feng Qing's voice turned deep and calm, as if she had already calmed down.

  "Yes!"

  "Also, notify the palace master to send someone else to take over your work here. You just need to find her for me! Whether it's a month, a year or ten years, no matter what, I must get results!"

  "Yes!"

  Huh? I remember that night, Nan Gong Qiuye called himself "Ben Gong", could he be the master of Ying Palace? But from Feng Qingya's conversation, it seems that Nan Gong Qiuye is not the master, or... Feng Qingya simply doesn't know that Nan Gong Qiuye is the master?

  What is Nan Gong Qiuye's true identity? I'm very curious, but I won't go seeking answers. Nan Gong Qiuye is like a bewitching mandrake, full of mystery, but once you get close, you'll be doomed forever.

  "Now that you're back today, go take a look up front, your sister has also arrived."

  "Empress? Where is the Emperor?"

  "He didn't, he should have found out by now that I'm not just some passerby, what I'm worried about is that he'll give me away in marriage again, it's really..." Feng Qingya's tone turned anxious.

  "I understand."

  "Xiao Ruo, go invite Li Ge Gongzi."

  It is...

  Will you leave? Will you come back?

  When the wind was clear and Nangong Qiuxue had thoroughly gone, I collapsed completely, squatting on the ground for too long, my legs were already numb. Although sitting on the ground, my hands didn't stop, strange? Why can't I dig it out? Wait, what is this!

  Suddenly, a white bone appeared in the dark mud. I was so scared that I let out a loud "Ah!" and quickly covered my mouth. I was completely stunned - how did my silver turn into human bones?! Did Feng Qingya bury someone here?!

  I sprang up in alarm, my legs suddenly going limp, and I fell to my knees again, my body leaning forward, my hands propping myself up on that bony thing, so frightened that I was paralyzed all over, yet not daring to cry out, tears streaming out of my eyes.

  Wait, this bone... why is it only one segment? I randomly picked it up and stared blankly, tonight's shock has made me dizzy. The thing in my hand was a human bone, thick and large, obviously a pig bone at first glance.

  Pig bone! Dragon Emperor!

  That dragon emperor stole my silver and buried it in a skull!

  The bones fell from his hands, the corners of his mouth began to twitch, this joke was also too big. He looked up at the sky and said, "Nangong Qiuxue, you dog has become a spirit!"

  My soul is lost and I'm walking back, the moonlight shines on my body, I feel like I'm wearing a layer of silver frost, and a chill spreads from the bottom of my heart. Nangong Qiuye, are you cutting off my retreat? In the midst of haziness, the sound of the guqin drifts over, it's Huayedie. It turns out that we've already returned to the dense forest on the east side of the Lotus Pond.

  As she raised her eyes and looked afar, Hua had once again plucked the strings of his lute, never expecting that Yuan Chen was also playing the lute, with the two complementing each other like a raging stormy sea.

  Chairman, at this moment, there was the sound of wind and snow again. She closed her eyes to listen carefully. Nangong Qiuyue sat beside Chu Yue, and Hou Xian also took a seat. At the end of the seats, it was actually Lige. He really came, which seemed a bit unusual.

  Everyone quietly appreciated the music of Huāle and Yuǎnchén. Yuǎnchén, lost in thought, played a melody that created an immersive atmosphere, as if one huge wave after another was sweeping towards the audience, while Huāle's music was like the waves crashing on the beach, slowly receding back into the ocean.

  Faintly, a figure in white clothes stood upright on the precipice of the cliff, gazing into the distance against the wind. Although there was a fierce gust, it dissipated when approaching him, unable to lift half a fold of his robe or disturb half a strand of his elegant hair.

  Even as the waves howl beneath him, and dark clouds encircle his head, he stands quietly, as if isolated from the world, forming another space around him, where there is no wind, no waves, not even a sound.

  "It's truly dynamic yet serene, serene yet dynamic, perfectly harmonious." She couldn't help but whisper to herself, her gaze unable to move away from Yuandong.

  The music gradually stopped, and applause came immediately. I bowed my head and walked back from the small bridge to the patio, sitting back in my old place.
