Seeing her tears, the maidservant beside her quickly offered her a handkerchief.
"Madam, please don't be sad. The young marquis is very clever and will surely find a way to return soon!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Lady Hou let out a long sigh.
No matter how clever he is, he's still just a child; how could he possibly influence the thoughts of those in power?
Seeing that she was in a bad mood, the maid handed her the box that Qin Luo had given her.
"Madam, please open it and take a look; it might brighten your mood!"
Lady Hou knew that she was trying to comfort herself, so she took the box and opened it.
This sight was more than just delightful; it was absolutely jaw-dropping!
"This...this is so big, even the Empress probably doesn't have one!"
The maid dared not reply, and only nodded frantically.
Lady Hou touched the large, round, and full pearls, and couldn't help but become curious about Qin Luo and Wu Hua's background.
Two young children, not only wealthy but also capable of manufacturing lethal weapons.
To be able to contact a deity like the Lord of the Yellow Sands is something no ordinary person could accomplish.
Looking at Qin Yunhe and Qin Yunhan, compared to Qin Luo and Wu Hua, they don't seem to come from the same family at all.
She considered whether to inform the Marquis of her suspicions, but then she laughed at her own thought.
How could the Marquis not know something that even he himself could perceive?
It's just a matter of self-interest; I feel there's no need to delve into it further...
After she came to her senses, she hugged the precious box to her chest and walked towards the bedroom.
Thinking that in the future, I would pass this bead down from generation to generation...
Qin Luo had originally planned to have the others wait at the mansion gate while she and Wu Hua went to the stable to bring out the donkey-hide gelatin.
But Qin Yunhe said that they received the Marquis's summons before dawn.
She arrived on a military horse; presumably the horses and donkeys were kept together, so I followed her to the stable.
Having just dozed off after a sleepless night, Ejiao was woken up by the explosion and immediately became stubborn!
He beat every horse he could see in the stable...
When Qin Luo and the others arrived, they saw Ejiao standing with his head held high, laughing extremely arrogantly.
Not understanding, she asked Wu Hua.
"Little one, has Ejiao (a type of donkey-hide gelatin) gone mad? Why is it attacking every horse? These horses haven't done anything to offend it!"
This problem even stumped Wu Hua, a high-level beast.
"Is it going through a rebellious phase? Maybe a good spanking will cure it!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Luo actually seemed quite eager to try.
After showing off his power, Ejiao turned around and saw Qin Luo and Wu Hua.
Although there were other people present, none of them could catch its eye.
It knows perfectly well who its benefactors are and who is insignificant, so it won't waste its energy on strangers!
It walked over to Qin Luo and Wu Hua, acting all cute and affectionate, and kept rubbing its head against them.
As if recounting the torment it suffered the previous night, Qin Luo remained silent, only pointing to the other horses.
Ejiao's eyes immediately darted left and right, and then both donkeys' eyes filled with tears.
It seemed as if it had suffered a great injustice, and first paced back and forth in place.
It then imitated a horse snorting, opened its mouth to bite into a handful of hay, chewed loudly with a smacking sound, and finally kicked over the stone trough with its last hoof.
After a series of performances, it raised its right front hoof and tapped its ear, then opened its eyes wide to look at Qin Luo and Wu Hua.
The two understood what it meant; it hadn't slept a wink all night.
In the morning, the horses' hooves clattered loudly, and they also liked to squeal and smack their lips constantly while eating.
The fact that the stone trough was kicked over meant that someone was still setting off firecrackers, making it impossible for the dog to sleep. That's when it finally couldn't take it anymore and punished them...
The two of them couldn't bear to blame it anymore; after all, the final straw that broke the camel's back for donkey-hide gelatin was Wu Hua's black lacquer bullet.
Helpless, Qin Luo could only fetch a bucket of water, add some water from the spatial stream, and feed it to the horses.
Qin Yunhe and his group watched the donkey-hide gelatin demonstration and were completely bewildered.
I have absolutely no idea what this donkey is doing; it seems to have gone mad.
Qin Yunhe walked to Wu Hua's side and took her little hand.
"Little one, what's wrong with the donkey? Did it fight with the horse?"
Wu Hua shook her head
"No, it hit the horses, saying they were disturbing its sleep..."
Upon hearing this, Qin Yunhe and the others all looked at the donkey-hide gelatin.
"Is this donkey really that arrogant? It can even beat a horse?"
Before Wu Hua could reply, E Jiao shouted at the horses.
They were so frightened that they scattered in all directions, and Qin Luo was almost trampled by the horses.
She angrily shouted at the donkey-hide gelatin.
"If you keep causing trouble for me, I'll make Niu Niu pull the cart from now on!"
After she finished speaking, Ejiao dared not be presumptuous anymore and obediently lowered her head.
It's not afraid of being beaten up, but it chickens out when Niu Niu is mentioned.
After all, I raised it myself. It can't even speak cow language, it can only repeat what I say in donkey language.
They're so young; if they went out, they'd definitely be bullied by the other cows.
Alas! Stubborn as a mule my whole life, I have no choice but to lower my proud donkey head to protect this calf…
Qin Yunhe and the others all gathered around the donkey-hide gelatin to examine it.
"This donkey is amazing! My sister is really something else; even her donkeys are different from everyone else's!"
Qin Yunhan retorted, not to be outdone, "Of course! My brother said that my little sister is no ordinary person!"
Jinbao mustered his courage and touched the donkey's head containing the donkey-hide gelatin.
"I'm so envious of Luo Luo! She has such a smart donkey!"
The skinny monkey followed behind him and touched the neck of the donkey-hide gelatin.
"Yes! That's clever!"
The donkey-hide gelatin was praised, and in a good mood, it let them touch it.
