Chapter 61: Now an Adult

  Ru Yi looked at her own mistress who was motionless and felt a bit worried.

  The lady has been gone for half an hour, and she just sits there, motionless. Nothing's going to happen, right? The needlework in her hand, gently pushed Qin Dai Xin once. "Miss, miss."

  Qin Dai Xin turned her head and looked at her, asking: "What's up?"

  "Miss, you asked me something, but the lady has been gone for half an hour. What's wrong with you just sitting there motionless?"

  "It's okay. Have someone prepare hot water, I want to take a bath." She hadn't taken a bath in several days and felt uncomfortable all over her body. After staying on the mountain for several days, she thought she was going to stink.

  Although she felt strange in her heart, she didn't dare ask and went to prepare hot water according to Qin Dai's instructions.

  The house was quiet, with only Qin Dai Xin alone thinking about her concerns. What did Fang Wan Ru mean? Why would she want to marry herself off after the New Year? Was it really as she said, to use a wedding to ward off the bad luck in her fate? Things wouldn't be that simple. If it wasn't related to ghosts and supernatural powers, Qin Dai Xin wouldn't have paid attention. But once things were connected to ghostly matters of fate, she had to be careful.

  This is where, in ancient times! People's ideas are still limited to their inherent cognition, and many scientific explanations that cannot be explained will be moved to the theory of ghosts and gods. Many people's fate has changed as a result. What's wrong with having a horizontal palm? But such a girl would be considered to have a hard life from birth, and would kill her relatives by her birth date. Her outcome would only be alienated by her family and others, and since ancient times, how many people have died unjustly due to their bad eight characters and strange birthmarks? Once something is related to the gods, it's not that simple.

  Another thought, since it's come to this, then just accept it! Didn't she also say that after the New Year, Qin Qian would get married and only then consider her own affairs? Moreover, she herself hasn't even had her hair pinned up yet, there's still time to prepare.

  Fang Wanru, I hope you won't do something that will make me have to give up on you.

  Just then, Ruyi led someone in with a bucket of hot water and some washing utensils. As was customary, these people put things down and retreated on their own initiative. Ruyi helped find the change of clothes, one by one hanging them on the screen, and said to Qin Dai in her heart: "Miss, I'll be outside, call me if you need anything."

  "Alright, go ahead."

  Waiting for Ruyi to leave the outer room, Qin Dai's heart opened her clothes and hastily entered the wooden barrel. The warm bath water made her sigh softly, she really enjoyed it more and more, but after not taking a bath for a few days, she always felt like something was missing.

  The water temperature slowly flowed away, until the water turned cool before Qin Dai Xin finally got up. She had just put on her undergarments when she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen, although it wasn't very severe, it furrowed her brow. This feeling...

  So familiar.

  Suddenly, Qin Dai thought of something and quickly ran towards the inner chamber. As she passed by the outer room, she didn't even glance at Ruyi, but Ruyi saw her running to the inner chamber wearing only her undergarments and was worried that she would catch a chill, so he hastily picked up a blanket from the bed and chased after her.

  It's been half a year since I came here, but I forgot about this. Qin Dai Xin sat on the toilet with a gloomy face, women's physiological periods are really annoying things.

  As soon as Ru Yi entered the clean room, she was separated by a silk curtain and asked while hugging her quilt: "Miss, are you uncomfortable?"

  Qin Dai Xin reluctantly lifted a corner of her undergarment for her to see, the hem of the garment had several small red flowers embroidered on it.

  "Ah!" Ruyi exclaimed in surprise, then quickly regained her composure and said, "Miss, your water has broken. That's great." She then turned around and ran outside, soon returning with a set of clean clothes and a strange-looking object.

  Qin Dai's eyes took a glance at that ancient object that women must use, and her heart felt a wave of suffocation. This thing, wouldn't it have been used before?

  It was as if she had guessed Qin Dai's thoughts, and Yu Yi stepped forward and said: "This is the new summer clothes made by the slave servants today. At that time, the young lady also said it was a bit early."

  Qin Dai Xin let out a sigh of relief when she heard her say that, but as soon as she thought about it being from half a year ago, she felt uncomfortable again and stupidly asked, "What's inside this?"

  "My good miss, isn't it just some herbal ash?" Ruyi went forward and whispered a few words in her ear, teaching her how to use this thing.

  After spending half a day's effort, Qin Dai Xin finally learned how to use it and changed her clothes. She suppressed the chill in her heart and lay back on the bed.

  It can't go on like this, do I have to spend the rest of my life with this thing? Qin Dai felt helpless for the first time since she came to this world. Although she had thought about modern civilization before, it was not as strong as it was now.

  She was thinking painfully about her future when Ruo Yi brought a bowl of steaming ginger sugar water.

  "Miss, drink this and warm up."

  Her stomach didn't hurt anymore, but seeing Ruo Xi's worried face, she couldn't bring herself to say no, so she took it and drank it.

  The flavor is pungent and astringent, with a strong ginger flavor that goes straight up the throat.

  "Miss, don't go anywhere for these few days, just rest at home! Firstly, take care of your body; secondly, also avoid the storm."

  Qin Dai Xin only then realized that in the short while Fang Wan Ru had arrived, several batches of people had already come to the courtyard one after another. Even Qin Qian Xin, who usually didn't give her a straight look, had also come over, but because Fang Wan Ru was there, they all automatically retreated.

  Many people want to see her excitement!

  Just then Chun-li came in to report that Madame Wang had arrived and was waiting in the outer room.

  Ru Yi took a look at Qin Dai Xin, and quickly asked Chun Li to attend to her in the outer room. She herself hurriedly helped Qin Dai Xin get dressed and made up. It was just a quick tidy of her hair, and she was ready within half a cup of tea's time.

  "Eldest Sister-in-law." Qin Dai'er gave Lin Shi a slight bow, in this household apart from Su Shi, only she could still gain some good impression.

  "Not an outsider, come and sit down quickly." Lin's expression was as usual, with a warm and gentle appearance.

  Qin Dai's eyes swept over her, thinking that temperament was truly deadly. A woman might not be beautiful, but she absolutely couldn't lack temperament. Lin Shi came from a scholarly family and had been well-read since childhood, so her temperament was naturally exceptional. Today, Lin Shi wore a goose-yellow, high-waisted silk jacket, which complemented her skin tone and softened her entire face. Plus, she rarely wore makeup, and most of her hairstyles and accessories followed the same elegant route, making her look gentle yet enchanting. The more you looked at her, the more flavor you could see.

  "What are you looking at?" Lin saw her staring at herself and thought she was being criticized, jokingly saying: "Has a flower bloomed on my face?"

  Qin Daiyan shook her head and said sincerely: "Sister, you really look good."

  Although Lin had already married and become a wife, she was only seventeen or eighteen years old after all. When someone praised her for being beautiful, how could she not be happy? Moreover, the person who praised her was herself a great beauty.

  "Sister-in-law is beautiful, but not as beautiful as you." Lin's words were not polite, but came from the heart. Qin Dai's beauty was originally very stunning, and even if she were placed in the capital city, she would still be considered one of the top beauties. However, before, her beauty seemed to lack something; now, when looking at her, it seems that there is a hint of something between her eyebrows, a beauty that also carries a bit of masculine elegance, and her entire person exudes a different temperament.

  Qin Dai Xin felt that if they continued to compliment each other like this, it would be fake. She quickly changed the subject and asked: "Sister, is there something you want to talk about?"

  P.S: Collecting up to 100 and then adding more, it's just 100 after all. My request is really low!
