Chapter 181: You’re A Little Qilin, Not A Little Fortune Teller!
The Gu family, no matter how upright, is still a noble family.
It’s not that some people who made mistakes didn’t receive even harsher punishment from Liu Yunru.
It’s just that this is the first time I’ve seen someone openly cuckold their husband like this.
Madam Liu went to see her daughter and, seeing that she was asleep, a maid whispered in her ear.
Afterwards, Qin Wanwan, who was eating snacks, saw Madam Liu come rushing over.
“This must be Chancellor Rong’s daughter, right? She’s so pretty, lovable, and smart. At first glance, I thought she was a little child attendant by a Bodhisattva’s side.”
Being suddenly grabbed by her little chubby hand and praised so profusely, Qin Wanwan felt a bit embarrassed.
“It’s all thanks to you.”
Madam Liu finished praising Qin Wanwan with a smile, but her expression suddenly turned sorrowful again, and she even wiped her reddened eyes.
“If it weren’t for you, little girl, my daughter and the child in her belly would have…”
She couldn’t utter the unlucky words that followed.
Qin Wanwan curiously asked, “Why would you let that bad person take care of Auntie?”
Speaking of this, Madam Liu gritted her teeth, regret in her eyes.
“That Concubine Chen used to be my personal maid, but when I was pregnant with Xiangyi, my master took a liking to her, and she was made a concubine in the residence. She was good at pretending, and even as a concubine, she was very dedicated to me.
Fifth Girl, that is, that bad person, I also watched grow up. This time, when your Auntie was pregnant, she volunteered to take care of her. I thought it would be nice for your Auntie to have someone to talk to and keep her company, so I asked your Auntie, and she agreed. Who would have thought…”
Who would have thought they’d raise an ungrateful person.
Madam Liu disliked the man her daughter married, so she didn’t care how many women were in his harem, but she wouldn’t give up the interests belonging to her children to those concubine’s children.
Normally, as long as those concubines didn’t bother her directly and the master didn’t disrespect her, she was very lenient.
Who would have thought she’d be bitten by someone close to her.
Qin Wanwan satisfied her curiosity, and after playing with Gu Qingqing for a while, it was time for them to leave.
Madam Liu said she would personally visit again another day with gifts to express her gratitude.
As they left, Gu Qingqing was very reluctant to let her go.
“Wanwan, you have to come visit me often.”
Qin Wanwan nodded, “You can also come to my daddy’s place to find me.”
Gu Qingqing secretly glanced at Rong Zhi, her eyes sparkling.
Wanwan’s daddy is so good-looking, much better looking than her own daddy.
In the carriage, Rong Zhi pinched Qin Wanwan’s little nose, “Are you satisfied now?”
Qin Wanwan chuckled.
“Daddy, you’re the best~”
…………
The weather is getting colder, and Little Qilin doesn’t want to go out anymore.
Keke, the gossip, however, diligently flew outside to get news about the Third Prince and Lin Wan’e.
Very quickly, Qin Wanwan learned that Lin Wan’e had entered the Third Prince’s Manor. There wasn’t even a proper wedding; she was carried in through a small sedan chair from a house outside the Third Prince’s residence.
It didn’t make any ripple in the entire Shangjing.
None of the men who once admired Lin Wan’e’s talent went to see her.
According to Keke, the Third Prince, having lost so much face, initially didn’t even want to give her the position of a concubine, intending for her to be just a lowly maid. But Lin Wan’e timely presented some benefits, showing the Third Prince her usefulness.
The things Lin Wan’e presented were the soap-making technology and information related to Shang Wuyang.
Keke: “Big Boss Shang, you need to be careful. Those two are setting their sights on you.”
Shang Wuyang chuckled, “I’m afraid they won’t come.”
While Shangjing was making plans to deal with the Third Prince and Lin Wan’e, Xie Chong, far away at the border pass, had received his daughter’s gifts.
Little clay figurines, letters, various snacks from Shangjing, and most importantly, wool sweaters and scarves.
Later, someone urgently delivered blueprints for making heated beds and honeycomb briquettes.
Xie Chong looked at the gifts and missed his daughter.
In this heavy snow, he didn’t know when he would see her again.
He wore the wool sweater inside his outer garment, close to his body, and quickly felt the warmth it brought.
Seeing in the letter that this clothing was made of wool, Xie Chong’s eyes lit up.
They had plenty of wool here!
Touching the clothes on his body, Xie Chong’s heart burned with passion.
If they were made of wool, then the soldiers at the border pass would no longer fear the cold.
The letter even thoughtfully included the formula for processing wool.
“Wanwan is truly my little lucky star.”
It was a shame she wasn’t here, otherwise Xie Chong would have definitely picked her up and given her a kiss.
Besides the wool, the blueprints for the heated bed and honeycomb briquettes were also very useful.
Xie Chong called someone over, “Find a few craftsmen.”
First, they would build the heated bed; he didn’t have coal resources here yet.
While Xie Chong was discussing how to build the heated bed with the craftsmen, a scout suddenly reported.
“General, Tartar troops have appeared five hundred li away.”
Xie Chong instantly became like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, his entire being filled with a low, killing intent.
“Immediately organize the army and set out to meet the enemy!”
“Daddy Xie!”
Qin Wanwan had a nightmare, dreaming of Daddy Xie covered in blood.
In her sleep, she cried out for Daddy Xie, whimpering.
Shang Wuyang was awakened and held the pitiful little one, comforting her.
“What’s wrong? Had a nightmare?”
Qin Wanwan hugged his neck, her little face flushed red from crying.
“Wuwuwu… I, I saw Daddy Xie, he, he was covered in blood.”
The little one sobbed and hiccuped, clearly very afraid.
Shang Wuyang held her and gently patted her back.
“Your Daddy Xie is very powerful. Even if there was blood, it must have been the enemy’s blood. You haven’t seen him in battle, have you?”
Qin Wanwan sniffled and nodded.
She only knew her daddy was very powerful, but even when dealing with bandits, Xie Chong never took her along.
After all, the flashing swords and shadows were not safe; how could he possibly take Wanwan.
“Xie Chong has immense strength. The legendary ‘power to lift tripods’ is completely achievable for him. He wields a spear weighing three hundred jin; a weight that several people would need to lift, he can pick up with one hand and wield with ease.
He also has a bow that requires fifteen stone of force to draw, and his archery skills are such that he can hit targets a hundred paces away with unerring accuracy. Therefore, on the battlefield, as long as there are no accidents, he is the one who attacks others; it is very difficult for others to get close to him.”
Today, to comfort Qin Wanwan, Shang Wuyang had to praise Xie Chong, which was extremely difficult for him.
That brute, if it weren’t for the little chubby cub, who would bother praising him!
Qin Wanwan felt a little better.
“Then, then what if something unexpected happens?”
Shang Wuyang: …………
“Can’t you think of something good?”
Qin Wanwan’s spirits lifted, “That’s right, I’m Little Qilin, Daddy definitely won’t get hurt. He’s super powerful!”
After speaking, she looked at her short legs and muttered, gesturing with her little chubby hands.
Shang Wuyang: “What are you doing?”
Qin Wanwan’s expression was extremely serious as she pushed away his hand that reached out to pinch her little chubby cheek.
“Daddy Shang, don’t disturb me. Wanwan is performing a ritual to transfer all her good fortune to Daddy Xie!”
Shang Wuyang: …You’re Little Qilin, not a little shaman!
