Chapter 73 How come the Soul Gathering Lamp is here with you?
Shen Qingning took the opportunity to hug Fu Ning's neck and looked at Yan Qu provocatively.
Fu Ning looked at Yan Qu again, only to see him looking at the two of them with a gloomy expression.
This doesn't seem right. Wouldn't she be the unlucky one who caused the conflict between them?
Fu Ning quietly asked the system in his heart: "How is the favorability between Shen Qingning and Yan Qu?"
The small system quickly replied: "The heroine's favorability has increased to 60, the hero's favorability is still 30, and the second female lead's favorability is minus 20."
When Fu Ning heard that Yan Qu's favorability had not decreased, she felt relieved. Fortunately, she did not get involved in their love drama.
Just looking at the ending of the women who like Yan Qu, one can imagine that whoever interferes with their relationship will be in trouble.
The system added: "We don't need to worry about the favorability of the second female lead. She has very few points, only about a thousand or so."
Fu Ning almost laughed out loud, "Why is she so miserable? She's the second female lead!"
The system said: "Although she is beautiful, she is brainless and vicious. The means she used to frame the heroine were extremely low-level. However, because of her good family background, she has been able to stay until the end, which makes people very annoyed."
Fu Ning glanced at her final outcome. Su Zimei ruined her reputation because she loved Yan Qu, resulting in no one coming to propose marriage. After Song Jinghe's death, the Su family fell into decline because of the crime of communicating with the demon world.
She was married by the Su family to a very wealthy old man in the human world as his second wife. The old man was actually the same age as Su Zimei, but his cultivation was very low and he had already aged greatly. He completely relied on elixirs to maintain his life. His face was full of wrinkles and his hair was gray. He looked like he could be her great-grandfather. The arrogant Su Zimei died of depression not long after she went to the human world.
"Ah." Fu Ning sighed, "She really has no brains. When the old man in the human world dies, she will hold the old man's money in her hands. Isn't she happier than staying in the Su family? Why did she die of depression?"
System: "...Maybe she is obsessed with looks and can't stand facing an old man every day."
Fu Ning clicked her tongue twice, holding Shen Qingning and walking more and more familiarly under her command, until she entered her house, she was sure that this was her former residence.
She looked at Shen Qingning with a complicated expression. It seemed that the Shen family was determined to create a second self. Or is it that in the original plot where she was not resurrected, Shen Qingning is really her reincarnation?
Fu Ning looked at Shen Qingning carefully, only to feel that she had no resemblance to him at all no matter how he looked at her left and right.
Shen Qingning had recovered her strength. She got off Fu Ning and called the maid to boil hot water for them to take a bath. Then she opened the wardrobe and said to Fu Ning generously, "You can pick any of my clothes!"
Shen Qingning's wardrobe is mainly light-colored, and every piece is made of fine fabrics.
Although Fu Ning was rich now, she was still used to wearing coarse cloth clothes. She was obviously not as particular about her clothes as she was in her previous life. She just picked up the cheapest clothes at random.
The two of them went into the inner room to change clothes together, followed by two maids to serve them.
Fu Ning took the opportunity to take a look at Shen Qingning's figure. As expected of the heroine, she had a slim and well-proportioned figure, but like Xiaoyu, she was a little too thin.
Shen Qingning was not shy either, and poked Fu Ning's arm curiously, "Your arms are so strong, no wonder you can carry me back all the way easily."
"If you swing a hoe every day, you can be as strong as me." Fu Ning pinched his arm and sighed regretfully, "But I've been in poor health recently and have lost a lot of weight. I used to be able to kill a cow with my bare hands without any problem."
"Haha." Shen Qingning was amused by her words, "Then you better recover quickly. I'm waiting to see you smash a cow to death with your bare hands."
The system couldn't help but ask: "Boss, is this something worth bragging about?"
How can you say that so proudly?
Fu Ning said: "That's right! It's worth showing off, but it's all because of Song Jinghe. My capital for showing off has been greatly reduced."
She chatted and laughed with Shen Qingning as she put on her clothes.
Fu Ning glanced at Shen Qingning's room in passing. The arrangement of tables and chairs and various arrangements all revealed a sense of familiarity, and there was almost no big difference from when she was there.
Suddenly her eyes fell on an exquisite palace lantern on the corner of the table, and she blurted out, "Why is this here with you?"
Shen Qingning fastened his belt and was a little confused, "What?"
"That palace lantern." That is her soul-gathering lantern.
The expression on Shen Qingning's face changed from confusion to panic, and then he covered it up and said, "It was given to me by a friend. What's wrong?"
"Which friend of yours gave it to you?" Fu Ning paused and asked directly, "Song Jinghe?"
Shen Qingning didn’t expect Fu Ning to be able to see it at a glance, and hurriedly explained: “Ah, he gave it to me, but when he gave it to me, he said he wanted to say goodbye to the past feelings. He really doesn’t like me at all, so don’t mind it.”
She carefully looked at Fu Ning's face and said, "If you like it, I'll give it to you."
Fu Ning sneered, "He gave it to you, how can I take it?"
She knew in her heart that what Shen Qingning said made sense, and it might be the case, but she was just angry.
She didn't like others touching her things in the first place, and now Song Jinghe not only touched it, but also gave it as a gift! But she couldn't say that it was hers.
Fu Ning scratched his head irritably and said to Shen Qingning, "I have something else to do. I'll leave first."
Shen Qingning held her back, “The water is already hot, take a shower before leaving.”
"No." Fu Ning waved his hand.
She suddenly thought of Bai Yuchen and others in the demon world who had been staring at the Soul Gathering Lamp. If it was in Shen Qingning's hands, she might be in danger, so Fu Ning kindly reminded her: "This palace lantern is not a good thing, you'd better not hold it in your hands."
Shen Qingning chased out and said, “We really have nothing to do, you can’t misunderstand us.”
Fu Ning said: "I know, I'm just a little angry with Song Jinghe, it has nothing to do with you."
She waved her hand and said, "Let's go. Bye."
Shen Qingning pouted with some regret. She hadn't thanked her savior yet. It was all Song Jinghe's fault for doing such inexplicable things.
Fu Ning returned to Changwu Peak in a bad mood, soaked in his own hot spring, and sighed comfortably.
The system popped up and asked, "Boss, are you jealous?"
Fu Ning closed his eyes and said, "Imagine that you have something that is of little use but is at least a priceless treasure. But one day someone takes it away without your permission. Not only can you not get it back, but after a while this person gives your thing to someone else as a gift. Wouldn't you be angry?"
The system thought for a moment and said, "Angry. I have been angry since someone took my things without permission. But Boss, why are you angry now?"
Fu Ning gritted his teeth. "I didn't have any evidence before, I just had a suspicion, but now the evidence is solid. The one who took my things without permission and gave them to others is Song Jinghe."
——
Shen Qingning thought about it and felt that he had to tell Song Jinghe about this matter. He and Fu Ning had finally reconciled, and he didn't want them to be unhappy again because of him.
So she took a hot bath, went to the front hall to comfort the friends who were frightened by her, sent them away one by one, had dinner, and went up to the Zhenshu Peak with a palace lantern.
The sky was a little dim, and Shen Qingning ordered the little maid to light the palace lantern in her hand, so as to make the best use of it. However, the little maid bent over and sweated profusely, but still couldn't light the wick. The flame passed through the candle core and didn't leave any sparks.
Shen Qingning tried several times in succession, and finally realized that this palace lantern might not be simple.
When they arrived at Zhenshu Peak, Nanny Zhang poured her a cup of tea as usual and told her that Song Jinghe didn't come back often, so she might as well leave a note and ask him to come to see her when he came back.
Shen Qingning thought this method was feasible, so she left the palace lantern and the note, and waited for Song Jinghe to arrive after three days.
Song Jinghe was standing at the door of the Shen family. When he was the son of the Song family, he often came to visit, but now he is not even allowed to enter.
Shen Funing wanted to invite him into the house, but he refused.
Song Jinghe asked straight to the point: "What do you mean in the letter?"
Shen Qingning told him in detail about Fu Ning's reaction after he found the palace lantern that day, and said, "I always felt that Fu Ning was unhappy because of this, so I returned it to you."
Song Jinghe raised his eyes in surprise, "You said Xiaoshuang was angry because I gave you the palace lantern?"
Shen Qingning nodded, and seeing his delighted expression, she asked in confusion, “What’s there to be happy about?”
"She cares about me." Song Jinghe smiled and hurried away.
Shen Qingning stopped him and asked, "What is the origin of your palace lantern? Why can't I light its wick no matter what?"
Song Jinghe frowned, "Really?"
In fact, he was not quite sure. At that time, he arrived near the Thirty-Eight Villages and entered a secret realm. Later, he didn't know whether he touched a mechanism or an earthquake occurred. He only remembered that the sky was spinning, the earth was collapsing, and then he lost consciousness.
When he woke up again, he had the herb at hand, but as for the palace lantern, he had no impression of it at all.
Could it be that the palace lantern was not a gift intended for Shen Qingning? Song Jinghe suddenly became suspicious and walked quickly to Changwu Peak.
Xiaoya, who was playing at the mountain gate, rushed over and rubbed against him affectionately, but Weifeng bared his teeth at him and warned Xiaoya to stay away from Song Jinghe.
Yan Hengyu appeared soon and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Song Jinghe said: "I came to find Fu Ning. I didn't go up the mountain. I just have something to say to her."
Seeing that his attitude was fairly friendly, Yan Hengyu went to inform Fu Ning.
After Fu Ning came down the mountain, he said to Song Jinghe, "What do you want from me?"
Song Jinghe said: "I got the palace lantern back."
Fu Ning folded his arms, "Did Chen Qingning tell you?"
Song Jinghe looked at her with burning eyes and said, "She said you were angry."
Fu Ning felt a little guilty when he looked at her. After all, they didn't know that she was the owner of the Soul Gathering Lamp. On the surface, she really seemed to be jealous.
She cleared her throat and said, "I am angry for the owner of the treasure. He has accumulated treasures for who knows how many hundreds of years, and one day, it was given away by someone else."
Song Jinghe said with a smile on his face: "Okay, next time I go back I will definitely return the treasure to its original owner and apologize to the owner of the treasure."
Fu Ning didn't want to discuss this matter with him anymore, so he asked, "How are you doing at Qian Youfu's place recently?"
Song Jinghe said: "He paid me a lot of money in advance, and I have already handed it over to Wang Minglu."
Fu Ning asked curiously, "What did you do for him?"
"I asked him to refine a pill for you to help you detoxify."
Fu Ning beat her chest and stamped her feet in her heart. How could this money go to Wang Minglu? What kind of elixir did he make for her? It was still her own detoxification pills that made her successful. Fu Ning made up her mind to let her disciple return the money he had received to her.
Song Jinghe asked, "How about you? Have you been feeling better recently?"
Fu Ning had never felt uncomfortable, but according to the effect of [Maintain the Status Quo], her condition should have become more serious. Song Jinghe should have felt all of this. She shook her head and said, "I have been feeling more and more uncomfortable recently. I didn't expect the poison of the Spirit Cleansing Grass to be so fierce."
Song Jinghe's face turned pale when he heard this. If, if Xiaoshuang really didn't live long, what should he do?
He really couldn't help it, and suddenly went forward and hugged Fu Ning.
"Xiao Shuang, I'm so scared."
