Xiao Qingyin: You are!

Xiao Qingye was seething with anger. He was closest to the fourth brother in the family, yet these people actually doubted his feelings for the fourth brother. They were really looking at him with prejudice.

He angrily recounted what had happened.

Xiao Qingyu tapped the table with her right index finger, her gaze falling on the dzi bead on his left wrist.

"So, the fourth brother can only move around this bead when he comes back?"

Xiao Qingye said smugly, "Yes."

How prescient he was!

If he hadn't kept that bead, the fourth brother might not have come back.

"show me."

Xiao Qingye, unsuspecting, took off the bracelet with the dzi beads and handed it to Xiao Qingyu.

Xiao Qingyu has always been quick-witted; she might be able to figure something out.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Qingyu put the bracelet on her own wrist and said calmly, "I'll keep this dzi bead with me for now, and return it to you after I verify that Lao Si can come back."

Xiao Qingye: "!!!"

This is robbery!

"Xiao Qingyu, you're supposed to be the top official in a prefecture-level city, so please don't do such disgraceful things. If word gets out, everyone will laugh at you."

Xiao Qingyu glanced at him indifferently: "If you don't tell me, no one will know."

Xiao Qingye gritted his teeth: "This is my stuff!"

"your?"

Xiao Qingyu interjected.

"This is a gift for my little sister, so it should be considered mine."

Xiao Qingye: "..."

Sensing the tense atmosphere between the three brothers, Zhang Ya quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "Let's talk about it when we get home."

Out of respect for his sister-in-law, Xiao Qingye glared at Xiao Qingyu.

"I'll only lend it to you for one day."

Xiao Qingyin, who had already returned to Daxi, was unaware of the trouble caused by the celestial bead. When she opened her eyes and saw the eagle owl that had landed on her, she understood why she had been awakened.

The owl came to cause trouble.

She turned to look at Yi Shuihan, only to find him staring blankly at what he was holding.

"What's wrong?"

Yi Shuihan handed the items over.

Xiao Qingyin was instantly stunned.

"A mouse? How do you have a mouse?"

“When your third brother sent someone to bring the notebook over, that person also brought this thing, but you didn’t use it. I picked it up and played with it for a bit, and forgot to put it down when I came back.”

Xiao Qingyin was utterly shocked.

Things from later generations can actually be brought over!

Does that mean we can bring things from here over too?

After many years of time travel, the gods finally delivered their golden touch to her, allowing her to engage in cross-border trade.

She immediately began to consider what could be exchanged between the two realms.

Yi Shuihan suddenly pointed at the dzi bead and said, "The patterns on this one-eyed dzi bead have disappeared."

Xiao Qingyin looked down and, sure enough, the patterns on the dzi bead were no longer visible, and it looked just like an ordinary agate stone.

She exclaimed in astonishment, "Does bringing something across time consume a Heavenly Bead?"

That's such a bad deal!

“It might also be related to the number of times you’ve traveled through time,” Yi Shuihan said in a deep voice. “Let’s go ask the senior monk.”

This time, the senior monk didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "The cycle of flourishing and withering is predetermined. You should cherish this opportunity, benefactor."

With limited opportunities, Xiao Qingyin naturally didn't want to waste them.

Before going to bed that night, she took the golden worm, bat blood, black and white magic beans, and a stack of photos with her.

Yi Shuihan woke up from her midday nap. If she wanted to travel through time with her, she would need to fall asleep next to her at the same time.

So they did it that night.

After the two traveled through time again, Xiao Qingyin checked her belongings and found that they were all there, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

When she looked up, she found herself and Yi Shuihan in her second brother's room.

She immediately looked at her second brother's wrist.

Sure enough, the eyeless dzi bead ended up in the hands of the second brother.

My second brother is sitting at the table reading a book on his computer.

Xiao Qingyin guessed that Xiao Qingye must have told him about her situation, so she typed a line on the computer.

—Second brother, I'm back.

The moment the sound of keyboard typing began, Xiao Qingyu looked over.

Upon seeing this line of text, he put down his book, smiled slightly, and asked, "Fourth brother, did you come back alone?"

—No, my man came along too.

After finishing, he put the things he had brought on the table.

Unsure whether Xiao Qingyu could see these things, she typed a question.

Xiao Qingyu replied, "I can see it."

He was the first to pick up the stack of photos.

The photos were made using a rather ancient silver halide technique, and are only in black and white, but the texture is quite good.

He saw his sister's familiar face in the photo, as well as some unfamiliar faces.

Among those faces, the most eye-catching was a man of exceptionally handsome appearance and luxurious attire.

In the photo of the sister and the man, the man's hand is placed very naturally on her waist, while her head is slightly leaning against the man's chest.

Even without his sister's introduction, he knew that this man was her emperor husband.

He chuckled softly.

My sister is still as lecherous as ever, only choosing men who are good-looking.

However, this time my judgment was better than before.

At least this man has eyes for her.

Xiao Qingyin was puzzled and asked, "Second Brother, what are you laughing at?"

"nothing."

Xiao Qingyu replied.

"What's his name?"

—Yi Shui Han.

After answering, Xiao Qingyin gave a detailed introduction to Yi Shuihan.

Yi Shuihan listened from the side, feeling inexplicably nervous, like an ugly daughter-in-law meeting her mother-in-law.

He remembered what Xiao Qingyin had said about her family's requirements for a son-in-law.
