Chapter 43 Who to find for ghost marriage?
Lin Qingyue asked back, "What does this have to do with you?"
A trace of loneliness appeared in Xiaohua's eyes. She was just a cat now and really had no right to meddle in other people's business.
Xiaohua wagged his tail angrily and walked away from the window with his head hung.
He seems a little unhappy
Lin Qingyue didn’t quite understand, but she didn’t think about it too much and took out half a Mayfly Demon Pill from her sleeve.
To remove the mayfly silk, you only need half a demon pill.
If the mother-in-law was willing, she could continue to live as a human with half a demon pill, but her strength would be greatly reduced.
But Yuanniang was disheartened and tired of the world, so she turned into a mayfly and flew away.
So the extra half of the demon pill was naturally coveted by Lin Qingyue.
At this moment, half of the demon pill emitted a faint halo, filled with rich spiritual energy.
Lin Qingyue slowly adjusted her breath and absorbed the demon pill's spiritual energy into her body.
At this moment, there was a movement at the window, and a pair of cat's eyes as bright as lanterns suddenly appeared.
Lin Qingyue hurriedly collected the demon pill, feeling inexplicably embarrassed as if her embezzlement had been discovered.
Xiaohua suddenly realized, "You're actually corrupt! You're the deputy envoy of the Xuanjing Division. If you're leading the charge in corruption and your subordinates find out, what will happen? What if they follow suit?"
Lin Qingyue argued calmly, "What corruption? Don't say it so harshly! Ordinary people can't use this thing, so it's a waste to leave it alone. Once my cultivation level improves, it will be of great benefit to the entire Xuanjing Division."
It was the first time Xiaohua had heard someone talk about corruption so confidently. However, he was not in a position to do so.
The tabby cat stepped lightly on the windowsill, turned around, and walked away as if it had seen nothing.
But before he left, he said, "If a royal lady wants to divorce, there will be many obstacles. But if you... have any trouble, I will help you."
After saying that, Xiaohua jumped out of the window. The next moment, a furry paw stretched out and carefully closed the window to prevent others from seeing it.
Lin Qingyue: “…”
After a whole night of practice, Lin Qingyue completely absorbed the demon pill's spiritual power.
Her cultivation level was greatly improved as a result, reaching the Golden Core Realm.
Although she still couldn't match her peak self, she could easily handle the palace guards. Dongfang Yan couldn't possibly imprison her like he had before.
The next day, Xuanjingsi.
As soon as Lin Qingyue arrived with Xiaohua, she saw Xie Shouzheng and several of his men coming with sad faces.
He was still wearing his official robe from yesterday, and he had casually lifted the wet hem of the robe and tied it around his waist.
Seeing Lin Qingyue, he was stunned for a moment: "Deputy Envoy Lin, how come you look so much better after just one night?"
Lin Qingyue's previous physique was actually very weak. When she was young, she often didn't have enough food to eat. After returning to the Lin family, she didn't take good care of her body. This resulted in her being thin and short.
Even though her facial features were brighter and more beautiful, she was much shorter and had a shorter complexion, so when she stood next to Lin Ruzhen, she was completely overshadowed.
But now, after her cultivation had increased, her skin had become naturally white, with a faint blush on her cheeks. Even her lips, eyebrows, and eyes had become much more beautiful.
More importantly, he grew a lot taller and regained the slender figure he had when he was the Immortal Lord Qingyue.
"And how come you're so much taller now?" Xie Shouzheng was originally half a head taller than Lin Qingyue, but now he is on the same level as Lin Qingyue.
"Maybe I've been eating well recently, and I've grown taller because of the proper nutrition." Lin Qingyue answered simply.
Xiaohua glanced at her casually, then lazily looked away without exposing her.
Xie Shouzheng said, "No, Deputy Envoy Lin, how old are you this year? Can you still grow taller?"
"Me?" Lin Qingyue thought for a moment. "At 16, I still have a chance. By the way, how did the case of the mother and son go yesterday?"
"The situation is not good." When mentioning the case, Xie Shouzheng did not bother to delve into other things and began to tell Lin Qingyue about what happened last night.
"She drowned in the river, and she was pregnant, so she was filled with resentment. When we went to the scene, we saw she had already become a 'li'."
Although "Li" is also very fierce, at least he still has some humanity and is able to communicate.
So Xie Shouzheng took a few guards and rowed a small boat to the middle of the river to salvage the body.
The body was found quickly, but it could not be pulled out, and the two guards were dragged into the water.
Fortunately, they were not ordinary people. After falling into the water, they immediately broke free and returned to the boat. If they were ordinary people, they would definitely die if they fell into the water.
Seeing that she was unwilling to come forward, Xie Shouzheng approached her with kind words, asking her what she was obsessed with and promising to do his utmost to help her achieve it if possible. He hoped she would let go of him and the people around her.
Unexpectedly, the other party actually proposed to find a man to marry so that the child in her belly could have a father.
Xie Shouzheng also agreed, thinking about finding a suitable male ghost for a ghost marriage.
Unexpectedly, the other party asked for living people, and they had to be young nobles! The old, ugly, and low-status ones were not wanted.
The social classes in Da Qi were clearly divided into four categories.
The first class consisted of the gentry, also known as the nobility. They controlled the country's politics and economy and enjoyed numerous privileges. Examples included Dongfang Yan and the Marquis of Changning.
The second class was the poor, also known as the common people. Although they did not have as many privileges as the nobles and could not enter the center of power, they were generally from wealthy families and could pass the examination to enter the officialdom and become minor officials.
The third class was the common people, also known as good citizens. They were mainly farmers, artisans, merchants, and other ordinary people. They could also obtain a surname through education.
The fourth class is the untouchables, who are usually people who sell themselves as slaves, perform music, or engage in menial occupations.
The solidification of classes is a huge gap that has formed over thousands of years.
At the beginning, Shen Mo was bullied to death because he was born in a poor family and he was powerless to do anything.
If a commoner wants to marry into a wealthy aristocratic family, it is simply a pipe dream.
What's more, she was a ghost bride, a pregnant ghost bride! Not to mention the nobles, even the untouchables might not be willing to marry her!
As a demon, Da Mi didn't have the same obvious sense of class as humans, so she said something besides, "Sir, why don't you just give in and marry her? You're an official, and your status isn't low."
Xie Shouzheng glared at Da Mi, but gritted his teeth and was willing to give in. It was just a formality, after all, and class constraints couldn't hold him back.
"From the look of you, it seems the other party doesn't agree?" Lin Qingyue said.
When this was mentioned, Xie Shouzheng became infuriated: "I was willing to condescend to her, but she actually complained that I wasn't a noble and that I was too old!"
Xie Shouzheng slammed the table in anger: "It's really hard to persuade that damned ghost with kind words!"
Lin Qingyue asked, "Have you ever asked whose child she's carrying? Maybe we can find another way to solve this problem."
Xie Shouzheng said, "Why didn't you ask? But she didn't say anything, she just kept crying. When she cried so hard, she stirred up a storm. Look at my wet clothes, they were all washed away by the waves!"
"So, to resolve the obsession, I have to find a young nobleman for a ghost marriage?"
Lin Qingyue stroked her chin in thought, her eyes inadvertently falling on Xiaohua.
Xiaohua was startled: "Meow?"
Lin Qingyue chuckled: "Dongfang Banquet!"
No matter how noble Xiaohua was in the past, she is now a cat and does not meet the other party's requirements.
Oriental Banquet is very suitable.
Wasn't he planning to take in a new member? Didn't he think Lin Qingyue wasn't generous enough and was obstructing him at every turn?
Then Lin Qingyue just let out a sigh of relief!
