Chapter 95 Anywhere Door
The black door was slowly pushed open in front of Liu Shiqi.
What came into view was pitch black, but because Liu Shiqi had excellent eyesight, even without the lights, he could vaguely make out some outlines and knew that she was in a room.
Before Liu Shiqi could look carefully, he heard someone talking in a low voice.
"The eldest lady has been back home for several months, and I don't know when she will come back!"
"Since the eldest lady is not here, we can also be lazy!"
"I still hope that the young lady will come back later!"
Liu Shiqi narrowed his eyes and then looked around carefully.
It should be before dawn now.
There was no light in the room, so it was dark.
She could still see clearly the somewhat familiar furnishings of the room.
Tables, chairs and benches.
It was the room she had been in at Liu Mansion in Kyoto when she had just traveled through time.
She, she, she!
I actually passed through the black gate and arrived here.
[Oh my god!] 】
[It’s so fucking amazing!] 】
Liu Shiqi widened his eyes and looked around.
Some still don't believe it.
[Am I dreaming?] 】
She pinched her thigh hard and it hurt!
[I am not dreaming...]
[I really passed through that black gate, traveled thousands of miles, and arrived in Kyoto! 】
[My grandfather's heirloom also has the function of a magical door! sharp! 】
[That’s amazing!] 】
[This is faster than taking a plane before! 】
Liu Shiqi smiled slyly!
[Then can I also pass through the black door! Go anywhere? 】
[Now that I’m here, why don’t I go take a look around the Liu Mansion’s warehouse…]
Liu Shiqi was so excited that he left right away!
In the end, no...
She returned to this room in Liu Mansion in Kyoto.
Liu Shiqi held his chin and thought, [Why not? 】
[Could it be that I have never been to the Liu Mansion warehouse before? So you can't go? 】
Where else have I been? 】
[It seems that in addition to the Liu Mansion in Kyoto, there are also inns along the way from Kyoto back to Xinyuan County! 】
[There is also the Liu Mansion in Xinyuan County!] 】
Liu Shiqi's eyes flashed, "Then I'll go to Liu Mansion in Xinyuan County and try it, and I'll know then!" 】
Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly heard the maid in the yard shouting.
"Greetings, sir!"
Liu Shiqi was stunned, realizing that the master they were calling could only be her former father, Liu Changhong.
She didn't understand why Liu Changhong came here so early.
Liu Changhong's low voice sounded outside the door.
"Okay, let's all go down!"
After that, I heard two footsteps approaching the door.
Liu Shiqi quickly hid behind the cabinet.
At the same time the door was pushed open.
Liu Changhong walked in.
There was another person following behind him.
From the sound of footsteps, Liu Shiqi recognized that it was the steward of the Liu Mansion and also Liu Changhong's confidant.
The housekeeper said, "Master, you are missing the young lady, right?"
Liu Changhong pursed his lips and said after a long while, "There's nothing to think about. She's not my biological daughter anyway!"
"It's just that I kind of regret not changing her back earlier!"
The butler obviously knew something about the situation, he sighed and said.
"Alas, who would have thought that what the great monk said back then would be so effective!"
“It’s normal for you to have doubts in your old age!”
The butler lowered his voice.
"The monk said that the eldest lady has an amazing destiny and good fortune. She can help the master and our family to become prosperous and wealthy within ten years!"
"But the young lady's good fortune can only be borrowed by the master and our family for ten years! It must be returned after ten years, otherwise it will backfire and bring disaster!"
"Who would take such words seriously..."
"And you, Master, didn't hurt the young lady, you just sent her away two years late!"
Liu Changhong angrily said in a cold voice, "It's just that it was delivered two years late!"
"My career as a government official was abruptly cut short..."
He clutched a cup tightly and fell to the ground.
"I just don't understand. She was obviously a lucky star, how could she change so suddenly?"
The housekeeper didn't understand either, "I find it very strange too!"
Liu Shiqi listened to their conversation and nodded.
It was mentioned in the book that the original owner, Liu Shiqi, was replaced shortly after birth, and there was actually a reason for that.
When Liu Changhong's wife was pregnant, she went to a temple to burn incense and pray.
I met a wandering monk in the temple.
The wandering monk kept staring at Ren's belly.
Liu Changhong was very dissatisfied, so he asked the maid to take Ren away first, and he went forward to argue with the wandering monk.
As a result, the wandering monk spoke first and talked to Liu Changhong.
"The child in the belly of the female donor just now is a burden to her parents! It's better to take care of it as soon as possible!"
Liu Changhong was very angry when he heard him say this.
"I saw that you were a monk, and I didn't want to argue with you! But I didn't expect you to talk nonsense like that!"
"And curse my unborn child!"
The wandering monk said calmly with a compassionate look on his face.
"Donors don't have to believe it!"
"But when you really give birth to this baby girl, it will be too late for you to regret it!"
After the wandering monk finished speaking, he was about to leave.
Liu Changhong was shocked. How did this monk know that she was pregnant with a girl?
He still used many connections and found the imperial physician who was best at treating women in the palace, and only then did he find out that Ren was pregnant with a girl.
He felt a little uneasy and quickly stopped the wandering monk. Thinking what if it is true!
Although he would not do anything to his own children, he was also thinking about whether there was any way to solve the problem.
"Master, please wait a moment!"
Liu Changhong tried every possible means to persuade the wandering monk. The wandering monk told him a solution.
"On the same day that your baby girl is born, another baby girl will be born in the same place."
"And that girl will be a great blessing from heaven. If you can switch the two children then."
"I can guarantee that within ten years, you will be promoted, get rich, and everything will go smoothly..."
"But after ten years, the two children must be exchanged back immediately."
"Otherwise, there will be backlash. At the very least, I will lose my position and title, or at the worst, my family will be wiped out..."
Liu Changhong frowned and was about to ask why, but when he turned around, the wandering monk was nowhere to be seen.
He only told this matter to his trusted butler. No one else said anything.
A few months passed and he almost forgot about it.
But on the day when his wife Ren was about to give birth, she actually happened to meet another family giving birth to a daughter.
He suddenly remembered the words of the wandering monk.
At that time, his official career was not going well. Not long after he was demoted from Kyoto and returned to his hometown, he encountered banditry in his hometown. In short, all kinds of misfortunes were going on in his life.
So, he decided to give it a try and secretly swapped the two girls.
Because that day was the Qiqiao Festival, the seventh day of the seventh month, he named the girl Liu Shiqi.
He also gave advice to his own daughter. It can be called "Qiao"!
Then the two families parted ways.
Unexpectedly, not long after he left with the girl Liu Shiqi, he received an order from Kyoto.
Let him be reinstated.
In the ten years after he was reinstated, he was promoted smoothly from a small rank seventh-rank official to the third-rank Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
The Minister of Personnel is getting old and is about to retire. The emperor said explicitly and implicitly that he would make him the Minister of Personnel.
For this reason, he loved and cared for Liu Shiqi like a treasure.
It wasn't until Liu Shi was seventy years old that everything started to go wrong...
