Xie Lingqin looked at the two of them. They were real and not acting. She also noticed that the maid's clothes were a bit short, which showed how the two of them were doing in the Minister's mansion.
It really does resemble the original owner of this body.
"It's just a hairpin, I can help you with that," Xie Lingqin suddenly said.
Li Qingru was stunned for a moment before she reacted. When she looked up at Xie Lingqin, her slender eyes seemed to be filled with tears.
"Really? Really?"
"That's true." Xie Lingqin's interest wasn't very high. "However, you made a mistake."
"Did you make a mistake?"
Xie Lingqin looked at Li Qingru until her head quickly drooped again before saying, "You hate your father. That day, knowing about the Anping Marquis's affair, he still entrusted you with it, but you were powerless to do anything about it. Moreover, you have no special skills and live a life of dependence on others in the Minister's mansion. Therefore, you are resentful."
Xie Lingqin said every word.
Li Qingru looked nervous.
Yes, Xie Lingqin's every word resonated deeply with her.
But she's just so useless.
Li Qingru twisted the handkerchief in her hand, and tears began to fall in a steady stream.
"If I were you, when those older women were teasing you and trying to get you to jump into the water, you would just grab one of them and push them down."
"What?"
Li Qingru was startled. "This..." she shook her head. "Wouldn't doing this...?"
"What could be worse than your current situation?" Xie Lingqin chuckled. "If you weren't dead, even if the general punished you, it would still make people wary of you, wouldn't that be better?"
Li Qingru was stunned, seemingly finding the words quite reasonable.
"However, that's all in the past now, so it was just talk, Zihe."
Xie Lingqin summoned Zihe.
Zihe understood his meaning and soon presented him with a bright green hairpin.
Although the jade was only a small piece, it was lustrous and translucent, clearly an extraordinary piece. A necklace hung beside it, beautiful and exquisite.
Before this, it seems to have been a gift from the Wise King.
Li Qingru looked at the jade hairpin but dared not accept it. "This, this is too precious. Li Qinghuan's hairpin wasn't this exquisite."
"It's not valuable. If a jade hairpin can cheer you up, change your fate, and make those wicked people reap what they sow, then it's truly worth its weight in gold." Xie Lingqin took Li Qingru's hand and placed the hairpin in her palm.
Her snow-white hands, adorned with a jade-green hairpin, truly made her look like a piece of jade.
Li Qingru stared at the hairpin for a long, long time, then slowly and tightly gripped it. Her brows furrowed with determination, and she bowed deeply to Xie Lingqin, saying, "Thank you, Sister Lingqin. What you said today has helped me awaken."
"Remember, hold your back straight. Even if you're about to die, don't be afraid. Then, there's nothing to fear."
Xie Lingqin whispered a few more instructions, then asked Zihe to see the master and servant off.
Tridacna stood outside the door the whole time, and only after seeing Zihe see someone off did she bring the soup in.
It was that dark, gooey soup again, supposedly good for your health and even for breast enhancement.
Xie Lingqin watched, and without saying a word, drank it all in one gulp.
"Miss, this Miss Li is a tough person." Tridacna whispered as she collected the bowls.
Xie Lingqin glanced at her with a flick of her sleeve, "Tough luck?"
"Yes, if you persevere, you're tough; if you can't, you'll just suffer to death." The giant clam spoke of life and death, yet there was not a trace of sympathy in its eyes, as if it were something it was used to.
Xie Lingqin looked at her for a moment, then said, "Tridacna, were your ancestors shamans?"
"Huh?" Tridacna immediately waved her hand, "No, that's not it. My family... sells sweet potatoes."
"Oh." Xie Lingqin nodded meaningfully, her eyelashes fluttering. "A few days ago I met someone who said I was some kind of 'star of widowhood,' you know?"
"Don't believe it, Miss. You are a blessed person." Tridacna put away the bowl, her small face beaming. "I can tell just by looking at your face."
Is that so?
Xie Lingqin waved for Tridacna to leave, then smiled and picked up a scroll from the side to continue reading.
After these days of tireless effort, she finally gained a good understanding of the writing style of this era, if not a full understanding, then at least a 70-80% understanding.
I am truly grateful to my mother for giving me this body.
Not only is her daughter so beautiful, but she is also so intelligent.
The autumn sunlight streamed in from outside, shimmering and warm.
Xie Lingqin, having a rare moment of leisure, went to the table by the window, ground the ink, and thought about making a few strokes.
Practice.
Anyway, nobody watches it now.
Who knew that once he picked up a pen, he would become addicted?
It seemed as if she wanted to vent everything that had happened in the past few days.
It wasn't until Xie Lingqin had finished venting that she realized what she had drawn.
She drew a prince.
It's still in chibi style.
It doesn't have eyebrows or a mouth yet.
With its short legs dragging along, wearing a diaper and an apricot-yellow robe, it held its head high, a slight smile on its lips, looking quite proud.
Yes, that's the Crown Prince's usual expression.
It's actually quite interesting.
"I'll draw you a little penis so you can take off your diaper..."
Xie Lingqin held the wolf-hair brush, which was full of human-like qualities, and smiled as she made a few more strokes.
"Hehe..." Xie Lingqin couldn't help but laugh.
Such a prince is so beautiful that even the heavens and earth pale in comparison.
"Is this a painting of me?"
Suddenly, a voice reached my ears.
Xie Lingqin was startled. Her momentary relief was immediately reversed. With quick reflexes, she pressed down on the painting, as if to tear it apart.
But it's just one hand.
A slender, jade-like hand with distinct fingers pressed down on the painting before she could.
