83. Invisibility Potion

[Task triggered]

[You're feeling very frustrated because you haven't been able to get rid of Consort Qi.]

So, as the villainous female supporting character, you decide to cause trouble for someone randomly, choosing a lucky one to make them annoyed too.

One day, you went to the garden and saw your father's beloved pond of koi carp, which were swimming around in the water.

Watching them swim around aimlessly and happily, you feel even more annoyed.

[Since your father's favorite pond of koi fish is right in front of you, it's like he's walked right into your line of fire.]

【Then, these are the ones we've decided on!】

Add some "spice" to the pond, and none of these fish or your father will be happy! They'll all be annoyed by you!

[Task: Add some "ingredients" to the pool]

[Reward: Invisibility Potion (15 minutes)]

[Item Description: Invisibility Potion (15 minutes). Takes effect immediately upon consumption and lasts for 15 minutes. However, please note that your voice will not be muted.]

The little dumpling was a bit confused again.

Add some "ingredients" to the water tank...

What kind of material is it?

Seasonings, you mean?

The little dumpling's gaze fell on the packet of garlic powder that the cook had put down.

The cook had just told her the word "seasoning".

Since both contain the character "料" (liào), this should be it, right?

The little dumpling nodded with self-assurance and laboriously picked up the cloth bag and went to the edge of the pool.

She tiptoed and poured the garlic powder into the water: "Time for some seasoning!"

[Task Completed]

You casually scattered the medicine into the pond, then hummed a song and walked away. Having done your deed, you vanished without a trace, concealing your identity and name.

Now, all that's left is for people to discover this surprise.

[Reward: Invisibility Potion (15 minutes)]

"Young Miss!" The butler happened to be patrolling the area and was shocked upon seeing the scene. "What's wrong with you...?"

The little dumpling turned around and said seriously, "Yue'er is adding food to the fish."

Steward Zhao squatted down and noticed that the koi were more lively than usual. Just as he was wondering about this, the fish farmer of this pond arrived.

"How amazing!" the fish farmer exclaimed in surprise after examining a fish. "These fish in the pond recently suffered from enteritis, and garlic powder can indeed cure enteritis. How did you know about this method, young lady?"

The little dumpling blinked: "Moon doesn't know..."

She did what the system told her to do.

The butler looked at the fish in surprise, then at the little dumpling, as if an invisible question mark had appeared above his head, which eventually turned into an exclamation mark.

He was certain: "It must be Heaven guiding the young lady to save these creatures in the pond. The young lady's merits are immeasurable!"

The fish farmer chimed in, "Yes, otherwise how would the young lady know that garlic powder can cure fish intestinal diseases? It must be divine guidance; the young lady has done immeasurable good deeds!"

The little dumpling, oblivious and by accident, did another good deed.

Just then, Jin Qizhi arrived with the parrot that had been chased back. Upon hearing this, he suddenly realized, "No wonder the parrot suddenly ran away. It was a sign from heaven that my sister came to the pond to stop."

The cook was completely convinced: "I bought garlic powder and came back, and suddenly wanted to take a shortcut through here. It was also the young lady who told me to chase the parrot. It turns out that all of this was arranged. The young lady has done a great deed!"

Amidst a chorus of "Your merit is immeasurable," the little dumpling, flattered and dazed, exclaimed, "Wow, Yue'er is so amazing..."

-

The next morning.

Marquis Beiding dressed himself neatly and prepared to attend court.

He stood in front of his daughter's bedroom door, listening to the sounds of Jin Lanyue and Jin Lizhi playing inside. Clearly, the two children were ready to go to school.

"Yue'er, let's not go to Wenhua Hall today. How about you stay home and play with your brother?" Marquis Beiding pushed open the door and squatted down to rub his daughter's little head.

The little dumpling was sitting on the edge of the bed, swinging its tiny feet. Hearing this, it tilted its head and asked, "Why? Yue'er wants to play with the little princess!"

The second brother, standing to the side, had a completely different attitude. Upon hearing this, his eyes lit up, and he cheered, "Great! No school! Really, Father? I don't have to go to the Wenhua Hall today?"

"Yes, you're all home today." Marquis Beiding turned to his daughter, "My dear Yue'er, things might not be peaceful in the palace lately, and your father is worried."

The little dumpling pouted, clearly unwilling, but seeing her father's serious expression, she obediently nodded: "Then Yue'er will stay at home."

"Good girl, Yue'er." Marquis Beiding patted her little head with satisfaction, gave Jin Lizhi a few more instructions, and then turned to leave.

Just as he was about to leave, the steward rushed in to report: "My lord, Grand Tutor Qu has arrived."

Marquis Beiding was taken aback: "Why is he here? Never mind, lead him to the flower hall, I'll go see him."

In the flower hall, Qu Zijin was drinking tea.

Upon seeing the Marquis of Beiding enter, he rose and bowed, saying, "My lord, I apologize for disturbing you."

"What's the matter that you're in such a hurry, Lord Qu?" Marquis Beiding went straight to the point.

Qu Zijin said, "I heard that the Marquis is going to court today to demand an explanation for my teacher's drowning?"

“Indeed,” Marquis Beiding’s face darkened. “My daughter nearly lost her life, and this matter must be explained.”

“My lord, please wait,” Qu Zijin said in a low voice. “It is indeed related to Consort Qi, but His Majesty has already dealt with it. If you go to court now to exert pressure, it will only complicate matters.”

"Does Lord Qu mean that His Majesty is already aware of this?"

"Indeed. The matter will be resolved soon, please calm down, Lord Marquis."

Marquis Beiding was still worried: "But my daughter..."

"Father! The Grand Tutor has arrived?"

Jin Lanyue's cheerful voice came from outside the flower hall. The little dumpling ran to Bei Dinghou and said, "Yue'er still wants to go to Wenhua Hall... The little princess said that she wants to play a new game with Yue'er today!"

Marquis Beiding squatted down and touched his daughter's little face: "Yue'er, Daddy is worried. How about you stay home and play with your brothers today?"

The little dumpling just pouted and said, "But Yue'er promised the little princess..."

Qu Zijin walked over and asked gently, "Does the teacher really want to go to school?"

The little dumpling nodded vigorously: "Yes!"

“How about this?” Qu Zijin looked at the Marquis of Beiding and his wife. “If the Marquis and his wife are not at ease, I can come to the mansion every day to teach the brothers and sisters.”

"Huh? Huh? Huh?" The little dumpling was stunned.

She wanted to go to the Wenhua Hall because she wanted to play with the princess, not because she wanted to study!

The little dumpling quickly tugged at Qu Zijin's sleeve and shook it: "No, Yue'er, Yue'er still wants to go to Wenhua Hall!"

Qu Zijin smiled: "Then, teacher, shall I come with you to the Wenhua Hall?"

"Roar!" The little dumpling's eyes sparkled.

Marquis Beiding looked at his daughter's attitude with helplessness and finally relented: "Then I'll have to trouble Lord Qu."

Qu Zijin took the little dumpling's hand and said, "Let's go then."

Then, turning to his second brother who was standing to the side, he said, "Shall we observe the proper etiquette together?"

The second brother immediately nodded: "I'll go take care of my sister!"

Watching the three children leave with the Grand Tutor, Jiang Xiyue, who had rushed over, wanted to stop them, but then dejectedly lowered her hand, looked at Marquis Beiding, and whispered, "My lord, are you really at ease?"
