Chapter 65: Wearing New Clothes



Xue Huan glanced around the room. The room was simply furnished with a couch, a desk, a bronze mirror on the desk, and a cushion behind the desk. That was it.

That's too simple.

Was she so simple in the life of Five Elements Immortal?

Unfortunately, after the Five Elements Pearl Spirit transmitted the information to her, it fell into a semi-sleeping state again.

Unless her life is in danger, it will not wake up easily.

So Xue Huan couldn't ask it more about the Five Elements Immortal's life.

She walked to the table and sat down, tapping the bronze mirror. Ripples like water spread out on the mirror, revealing the situation outside the Five Elements Bead.

Xue Huan's mind moved, and the Five Elements Beads floating in the air outside turned into the size of a mustard seed. It could not be seen without careful observation. Then, under the control of her mind, the Five Elements Beads began to move rapidly.

This time, the Five Elements Bead, which had absorbed enough purple energy, had recovered a little bit of its functions. Getting bigger or smaller was just the most basic function.

This information was also passed to her by the Five Elements Pearl Spirit just now.

Traveling through the Five Elements Bead space is much more convenient and safer than the previous method. From now on, you don’t have to stick to the rule of exiting from where you entered.

She can move around at will.

Coming out of the thatched hut, Xue Huan walked to the spiritual well again. The black egg-shaped stone inside was still lying quietly at the bottom of the well. This stone was also very strange.

She took a little of the spiritual spring and dripped it into the vase containing the poisonous snake. Through the gap, she saw the snake licking the spiritual spring until there was not a drop left.

After waiting for a while, the poisonous snake was still fine and nothing happened.

It seems that the black stone is not poisonous.

After "riding" the Five Elements Pearl back to the vegetable garden, Xue Huan quietly entered the hut. This was a temporary hut built in the vegetable garden. It was only about ten square meters in size. There was not much space left after putting down a bed and a table.

But it's enough for keeping watch.

Pei Ji was sleeping soundly on the bed, his hands and feet placed neatly. Xue Huan gently lifted the quilt and crawled in.

What she didn't know was that Pei Ji opened his eyes in the darkness, looked at her quietly for a while, and then closed them again.

After several acupuncture treatments and some triggers, his memory has actually recovered to the level of when he was six or seven years old.

No longer as ignorant as before.

However, he did not say it. Although he had not found any bad intentions from the Xue family towards him so far, Xue Huan's frequent going out at night made him unable to completely trust her.

Let's just wait and see.

Before his memory is fully restored, he needs to remain constant in the face of all changes.

"Brother Yue!" In a room in the county government office, Guan Yue was checking files behind the case when Cai Ling suddenly appeared from behind him.

Guan Yue frowned slightly, but soon calmed down and smiled, "Why is Sister Ling'er here?"

Cai Ling snorted softly, sat down next to him, hugged his arm, and said in a soft voice: "Can't I come to see you if I have nothing to do?"

Guan Yue resisted the urge to pull his arm out of her grasp, "How could that be? I welcome you whenever you come."

Cai Ling was finally satisfied and asked her maid Chun'er to bring a food box over. She took out two plates of snacks from it and placed them on his table. "These are snacks that the kitchen just made. Try them."

The girl, who had always been spoiled, couldn't help but put a hint of flattery in her tone.

Guan Yue took a piece of peach blossom cake and tasted it briefly. "Ling'er, do you really have nothing to ask me?"

"Not really. I want Brother Yue to help me find two people."

"Oh? Who?"

Cai Ling told what happened in Mo Hou Zhai yesterday. Of course, her words were all from her own perspective, and the other three people involved in the incident, especially the couple, were all extremely hateful!

"Brother Yue, these two lowly people are so despicable! They knew I was the county magistrate's daughter, yet they still dared to go against me! Humph, I'm going to let them know the consequences of offending me! Can you help me find them? I know you're the best!"

Guan Yue echoed her emotionlessly, "It's truly abominable. Don't worry, I'll definitely help you find those two people. Describe what they look like."

He had some guesses from Cai Ling's story just now. After listening to her description of the two people's appearance, he became more and more certain that the couple was Miss Xue and Brother Huo.

It just so happened that they went to his home to visit his mother that day.

After seeing Cai Ling off, Guan Yue quickly wrote a letter and put it in his sleeve. He then went to Xue Huan's house in Qingyun Lane, handed the letter to Uncle Mu, and asked him to deliver it to Xue Huan as soon as possible.

Of course, he would not help Cai Ling find Xue Huan and the other one. On the contrary, he would help them cover up.

At the Xue family, Xue Huan is trying on new clothes.

Xue's mother took the lead in making her clothes. The style was a top and skirt, and the color was spring water green. She looked like a pool of clear water when she walked.

Xue Huan has a good foundation, with picturesque features. With the nourishment of the spiritual spring water in the past few months, her skin has become whiter and more tender, and her figure has become more slender. Wearing this dress, she looks like a fairy.

"Does it look good?" She walked to the flowers, lifted the hem of her skirt and turned around lightly with a smile on her lips. In an instant, the colorful flowers pale in comparison to her.

Pei Ji: "She's beautiful. There's no one prettier than Huanhuan."

Xue Huan accepted his flattery without hesitation, "I think so too."

Xue's mother shook her head in amusement, and Xue Jun covered his mouth and laughed.

At this time, there was a knock on the gate.

The cheerful atmosphere in the courtyard suddenly stagnated for a moment. Xue Huan walked over and opened the door. Seeing that it was Uncle Mu, she hurriedly let him in.

"Uncle Mu, why are you here?"

"Miss, Lord Guan asked me to deliver a letter to you." Uncle Mu handed over the letter.

Although Xue Huan and Pei Ji got married, it was fake. In addition, she was not used to being called "Madam" at such a young age, as it made her seem very old, so she asked Uncle Mu and others to continue to call her "Miss".

She took the letter and read it quickly. "Okay, I understand. Thank you for your help, Uncle Mu."

Uncle Mu hurriedly said that it was not hard.

That's right. On weekdays, Xue Huan and Pei Ji usually don't go to the house in Qingyun Lane, and there is not much work for them as servants.

It's just an errand, it's really nothing.

Xue Huan brought a basket of freshly picked peaches back to Uncle Mu, asking him to keep some to share with the other people in the house and give some to Guan Yue.

Uncle Mu looked at the pink and translucent peaches in the basket, each as big as a fist, and quickly declined: "Miss, a simple man like me doesn't need to eat these. I'd better send them all to Master Guan."

Xue Huan: "It's just a few peaches, not worth much, go ahead."

The peaches are grown on the peach trees in the yard. Watered with spiritual spring water, they are naturally special, with a strong fragrance, large size, sweetness and juiciness. They are much more delicious than those in previous years.

Apart from sending some to Aunt Pang and the village chief's house, the rest was eaten by themselves.

However, there are too many peaches this year, and eating too many peaches can cause stomach upset. Their family can't eat many, so Xue Huan plans to make other delicious foods with the remaining peaches.

For example, peach jam, canned peaches, pickled peaches, peach wine, etc.

After Uncle Mu left, Xue's mother asked, "Huan'er, what happened?"
