Chapter 33: Such a heavy leg
Li Cheng and his companions waited for a long time, but the immortal official did not speak again.
Li Ming asked tentatively, "Is he leaving?"
Yuan Feng used his magic to sense it, but found nothing: "They must have left."
Li Ming became bolder: "The one just now should be the Sun Wandering God, right?"
"Maybe." Li Cheng nodded slightly.
The wandering gods monitor the good and evil in the world day and night, so as to provide the City God with a true report.
Patrolling during the day, and having a good chance of understanding what just happened, the only one who can do it is the Day Traveler God.
"Hey, there's nothing to be ashamed of. It's just a beating, isn't it? I'm often beaten black and blue by my master and fellow apprentices, so what?"
Li Ming curled his lips in confusion. "But let's just say that monitoring good and evil should be as serious as monitoring our conversations. There will be at least half as many evil people in the world."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was kicked on the butt with a "pa" sound, and fell to the ground.
[Oh! If the efficiency of your work at the Imperial Astronomical Observatory was as high as your efficiency in gossiping, perhaps the other half of the evil in the world would be gone.]
Li Ming: “…”
The other five people: "..."
What a shameless day god.
Just pretend you're not there so you can hear what they say next, right?!
Ruochen, who was taciturn, bowed to the air and said, "Day Tour Immortal Official, we are going to Junior Sister's house to have a chat. Would you like to come with us?"
Sun Wanderer: [Heh! What's up? You kicked your junior brother, and you want to find Miss to take your anger out on you?]
"I dare not, but Junior Sister is alone and weak, and this is a dispute over money, I am afraid Junior Sister cannot handle it." Ruo Chen said calmly: "If the Immortal Official can go with you, Junior Sister will also be of great help."
Sun Wandering God: [You are ordering me around.]
Sun Wandering God: [I will not go. I have official duties to attend to and will conduct my inspections diligently. With Hua Niang in the Marquis's mansion, even eight hundred palace soldiers are of little use.]
As soon as he finished speaking, the soundproofing array dissipated on its own.
Make sure the Sun God has left.
Li Ming grinned and climbed up, rubbing his butt: "Okay..."
What a stingy immortal official!
Fearing he hadn't walked far, he changed his words: "What a heavy leg."
"You deserve it." Ruochen glanced at him indifferently.
Yuan Feng nodded: "It's not all one person's fault. You're asking for it."
The world is so vast and populous that the Imperial Observatory is powerless. Does the City God Temple have enough staff?
Li Cheng nodded: "Xiao Ming, you should be more careful with your words and actions in the future. For the sake of my junior sister, I only kicked you once, which is a good thing."
Although they had never met each other while working at the Sitianjian, they often dealt with each other.
It is not uncommon for someone to be beaten to a bloody pulp by an underworld official over a disagreement.
Li Ming pursed his lips and said, "Now that I have a little junior sister, she is a treasure and my little junior brother is just weed."
Ruochen rarely agreed with such a joke: "Yeah."
Li Ming: “???”
"Could it be that Senior Brother Ruochen has been bewitched by some dirty thing?!" he exclaimed in shock.
Yuan Feng kicked him again: "Don't mention Ruochen, since Junior Sister's gift was delivered to the courtyard, the dean's attitude towards Junior Sister has become much more relaxed."
Ruochen frowned: "It has nothing to do with things, it has to do with things."
Li Ming: "Zhuangzi couldn't understand it, and neither could Laozi."
Li Hun sighed: "Ruochen means that it doesn't matter what Junior Sister sent. It's the Junior Sister's thoughtfulness that is truly valuable."
As they were talking, the group arrived at the gate of the Marquis' Mansion.
The doormen are still the same ones, but Nanny Xia showed off her authority in the morning, and now everyone in the mansion knows that the eldest daughter, Qin Yinyao, will be the one in charge from now on.
Yingyi is the guard assigned by the East Palace to the eldest lady, and Li Cheng is a sorcerer from the Imperial Astronomical Bureau and the eldest lady's senior brother.
No matter what, the doorman didn't dare to stop him.
He invited the person in politely, and sent two servants, one to the main courtyard to pass the message, and the other to the ancestral hall to report the news.
Qin Yinyao was tired at the City God Temple and was sleeping soundly now.
Nanny Xia had no choice but to lead the people to the pavilion in the yard, which was under the shade of the trees and cooler in the breeze.
After Chunqi and Xia An served tea and snacks, he bowed and said, "The master has just fallen asleep. You are all not outsiders. If there is nothing urgent, please sit for a while, drink some tea, eat some fruit, and rest for a while."
"If it's an urgent matter, I'll go wake up the master right away."
According to the rules, when guests come, the host must be called up.
But now this is the new master. After seeing his abilities and hearing that he has a bad temper when waking up, the nanny can't help but be more cautious.
"It's important, indeed." Li Cheng frowned and glanced around.
Nanny Xia immediately understood: "Master Li, just speak with confidence."
Li Cheng then took out two thick account books and spread them out: "One is Mrs. Cen's dowry, and the other is all the assets of the Protectorate General's Mansion."
"These are all for Junior Sister. But money is tempting, these two books..."
As he spoke, he tapped his knuckles on the dowry book: "It's not a small amount."
Nanny Xia frowned and said, "I will go and call the master."
Silver is a good thing. It can protect a person from worrying about food and clothing throughout his life, but it can also take a person's life.
He bowed to them again and hurried to the bedroom.
Although he came to call me to get up, I felt a little nervous when I arrived at the bedroom door.
She took a deep breath, collected her thoughts, raised her hand, and just as her knuckles were about to hit the door frame, she was stopped by a cold hand.
It is Cen Xiaoan’s soul.
"Mrs. Cen." Nanny Xia bowed hurriedly.
Cen Xiaoan smiled and said, "I'll go. I have something to say to Ah Yao."
Her soul and that of her original body, Qin Yinyao, had entered the soul-nourishing bottle as early as when the sun became scorching.
But the maidservant showed respect and did not cover the bottle.
Therefore, both mother and daughter could hear the conversation outside clearly.
Nanny Xia bowed and stepped back.
Madam Cen's yin energy fell on the door frame, knocked lightly a few times, and called Qin Yinyao: "Ayao, I am Mother Cen, can I come in?"
Qin Yinyao suddenly woke up, frowned in annoyance, and sat up with a gloomy face.
After hearing who was coming, he spun the word "get out" in his mouth and said muffledly, "Come in."
Cen Xiaoan didn't push the door, but floated in directly, sitting on the round stool beside the bed not too far away.
Qin Yinyao rubbed her hair and asked with her eyes closed, "What's the matter?"
A cool, but not icy, hand fell on her eyes and forehead.
Qin Yinyao's confused consciousness gradually cleared up, and her sore eyes felt better.
His emotions calmed down a lot, and he spoke without the harshness he had just shown: "What happened?"
"The list of my dowry when I married into the Marquis' Mansion, as well as the list of all the inheritance in the General Protector's Mansion, were delivered to me by your senior brothers." Cen Xiaoan said in a gentle voice.
The ghost's eyes always have a sinister air, but when it looks at Qin Yinyao, there is inexplicably a bit more kindness in its eyes.
"I know you are not my daughter, but my daughter is dead. Those gold, silver and treasures are of no use to us."
"I want to leave it all to you."
Hearing this, Qin Yinyao frowned and looked at Cen Xiaoan for a long time before asking, "Are there any conditions?"
