"What the hell are you doing? What was so good about these weeds?”Xiao Rong had the urge to trample on the grass under her feet.
"..." Lin Yilan completely ignored him and continued to refer to the book to understand the medicinal effects of the Spica Vulgaris in front of her. Ever since that old man caused a ruckus, these young plants had become much more tender.
"Hey! Haven't you always wanted to gain His Highness 'favor?”Could these be aphrodisiacs? But was there a need for her to plant it herself? Or were these aphrodisiacs extremely powerful? The suspicious woman felt her feet itch.
Because she had already become a human again. Lin Yilan reluctantly raised her head and glanced at Xiao Rong, who seemed to be ready for a big fight. Ever since the last time they parted on bad terms at Qingshui Pavilion, this guy had gone crazy. He came to her every day, and his purpose was obvious-to provoke her. If Lin Yilan ignored her, she would stay here for an entire day. She would wait for Lin Yilan to insult her and scold her before leaving with a satisfied expression. It made Lin Yilan think that all maids were so free.
"I'm warning you, don't play any dirty tricks! The position of princess consort will definitely belong to my miss!”
"It's your miss's, not yours. What's there to show off?”Lin Yilan originally thought that Xiao Rong was a strong and sharp-tongued woman, but after a few days of interaction, Lin Yilan felt that she was just an extremely childish little brat.
"Hey, how old are you?"
"Eighteen." She answered subconsciously, but after digesting all these words, Xiao Rong quickly asked with a suspicious look,"Why are you asking this?" Suspicious! It was too suspicious! It felt like a person asking a pig that was about to be slaughtered whether it was a male or female…Bah! Bah! She was not a pig!
" I think, for a normal adult woman, if her intelligence is still in the infancy, is it a congenital disorder of the brain nerves, or is it a depression of the cerebral cerebral hemisphere caused by the impact of hard metal objects…Eh? This seemed like a good research topic!”Lin Yilan began to seriously consider the research value of this topic.
Xiao Rong, who could not understand at all, could only open her mouth wide and stand rooted to the ground. What was this strange woman chanting again? She might be cursing herself…Cold sweat dripped down her forehead as Xiao Rong nervously said,""Don't do anything! Take a good look at the status of your Imperial Residence! As long as Miss says the word, you will be thrown out of the Imperial Residence immediately!”However, this seemed to be the situation in the past. Now, the king seemed to have a little preference for Gu Yin. He came to the Jade Bamboo Residence more and more often.
What an old-fashioned threat! Lin Yilan pouted. This was her courtyard anyway. Without the guards of the Clearwater Pavilion, that bad-mouthed child would only be a paper tiger no matter how arrogant he was.
"This is my territory, so you have to listen to me! " Harvest the herbs and find happiness with the medical books…" Ignoring Xiao Rong, Lin Yilan hummed a song that she had adapted from Jay Chou and pulled Xiao Mo out of the Jade Bamboo Residence. She planned to go to the capital to play.
"Hey, what are you babbling about? Don't think I don't understand what you're saying…Stop! Where are you going? Don't run! Are you afraid of me…"
Looking back at Xiao Rong, who was baring her fangs and brandishing her claws in the small courtyard, Xiao Mo looked at his master with great admiration. Master actually subdued Sister Xiao Rong! Miss was indeed invincible! She decided to find an artist to draw the young miss and use it to exorcise the ghost on the door!
"Miss, where are we going?"
"Take a walk on the streets." However, before that, he had to make a detour to the accountant's office to ask for some silver to spend.
"Miss, aren't we here to buy medicine?”Xiao Mo followed Lin Yilan around the streets and suddenly felt a sense of guilt.
"I bought it. Aren't you going to take it?" Eh? What the hell is this? Lin Yilan stopped at a small stall on the side of the street and curiously looked at the things in front of her. The moment she left the residence, Lin Yilan felt a joy similar to a criminal on bail. If she didn't have enough fun today, she would never go back!
"Is that all?" Xiao Mo shook the palm-sized medicine packet in disbelief. Was it an ant that was sick?
"What's wrong? You think it's too light?" Lin Yilan was deliberately scaring her. She had also planted some for herself. All of this added up was enough for Long Yifeng to drink for a few days. If you don't have it, then come out and buy it again. How can playing once be enough? Life really needed planning to be beautiful.
Lin Yilan picked up the thread-like object in front of her, pulled it, and sniffed it before asking the old man in front of her uncertainly,""Granny, are you selling thread?”
"Miss, don't look down at this line. This is a special line!”The old man was very kind and smiled mysteriously.
"Oh? How is it special?" Lin Yilan's interest was piqued, and she looked forward to it.
"This string is called the 'Matchmaker's Red Rope.' As long as you use it to tie the hands of two lovers together for twenty-four hours, the lovers will finally be together.”
"Really? Is there such a magical thing?" Although he wasn't superstitious, for some reason, this old woman's words had a kind of convincing magic. Lin Yilan carefully stared at the red line that was less than half a meter long. Suddenly, her eyes lit up.
"Yes, I am. It was very effective. Does the lady want one? Pardon this old woman for speaking too much, but the relationship between this young lady and your husband should be very good?”
"Husband?" Long Yifeng's handsome smile suddenly appeared in her mind, scaring Lin Yilan so much that she hurriedly shook her head. Could it be that she was evil today? That iceberg man was not her husband! After all, she was a human from the 21st century. She had no interest or time to compete with a bunch of women.
"Granny, I want this one." A small flame of trickery danced in her eyes. If Xiao Rong saw the "must be Youruo" wangye and another woman inseparable for an entire day, how satisfying would that be? Haha…Lin Yilan was grinning so widely that her mouth was about to reach the sky. This caused her to overlook a very serious problem. Unless Long Yifeng agreed, even if she tied it up, it would still be untied.
"Oh! It hurt! Miss, why did you hit me?" Just as Lin Yilan was about to transform from laughing, Xiao Mo suddenly screamed and covered his head that was attacked. He looked at Lin Yilan with resentment.
"No, I didn't hit you.”Seeing that Xiao Mo didn't seem like he was acting, Lin Yilan asked curiously. Could it be that she had been too carried away with her dancing just now, so she had unknowingly hit Xiao Mo? "Wow! Who was it? Come out!" Lin Yilan, who was still confused, suddenly felt a sharp pain in her arm as if she had been attacked by some unknown object. He swept his eyes around with a fierce gaze and did not find any suspicious people.
Compared to the street outside, there weren't many people in this alley. There were only a few children playing, a vegetable seller and her daughter on the right, and this mother-in-law and them…Why did she feel like Sherlock Holmes…Wait! What were those little brats holding?!
"Could…could it be…there's a ghost?" Xiao Mo was so frightened that he trembled and almost cried. He tightly tugged at Lin Yilan's sleeve." Sob…Miss, let's leave this place quickly!”
What a bunch of mischievous brats! Lin Yilan smiled as she looked at the children. She used to play with the children next door like this…Lin Yilan put away the red rope and planned to leave. She smiled evilly to scare Xiao Mo,""Don't be afraid, there's only one ghost here. With so many of us, each of us can kick it until it can't become a ghost, hahaha!”Seeing Xiao Mo hanging upside down on her body like a koala bear, Lin Yilan almost burst out laughing. The people of ancient times were really gullible. They actually believed that there were ghosts in this world.
"I told you to pay me back, but you didn't. You asked for it. Let go!”A fierce shout accompanied by the sound of whipping suddenly rang out in the originally quiet alley. The basket was kicked over by a few people, and the cabbage that was still dripping with water immediately rolled everywhere. The sunlight reflected by the water droplets was unusually dazzling. The streets outside were still bustling with people, and no one seemed to notice what was happening here.
Lin Yilan stopped smiling and turned to look at the source of the sound. She saw seven or eight " fat and strong " men fighting an unknown object…It seemed to be two people.
"Master, please give me a few more days! We will definitely gather the money!”The woman who sold vegetables earlier was using her body to block the whip for her daughter while kowtowing to a man in luxurious clothes behind the burly man. His face was pale with blood and tears, and there were several whip wounds on his body that people could not bear to see.
"Mother! Mother! Move aside and let me be beaten!" The girl in the woman's arms cried and struggled to protect her mother who suddenly pressed her chest to recover from her old illness.
"Give me a few more days? Are you looking for a beating? I've already let you drag this out for so long. It's not up to you today!”With one look, one could tell that the expensive silk clothes were tightly " strangling " his fat body. His eyes were so small that they were almost submerged in the fat, and they were filled with greed. When he spoke, the fat on his entire body miraculously shook. Lin Yilan was worried that the fat would shake off. This appearance was no longer something that could be described with the word "disgusting".
The man casually picked up a cabbage and played with it, seemingly enjoying the brutality of his subordinates. Suddenly, he raised his fat hand that was covered in rings and bracelets. The man signaled for his subordinates to stop. Then, he approached the mother and daughter who were hugging each other and trembling. He squatted down and roughly pushed the woman away. He pulled the girl who was frantically dodging and forcefully lifted the girl's delicate face with his fat hands... This scene made Lin Yilan's hair stand on end... No matter how she looked at it, it looked like a beauty and a wild boar!
"Little beauty, I can't bear to see you suffer. Look at your tender skin. You can't withstand this. If you don't obey me obediently, I'll be kind enough to forgive your family's debt.”As he spoke, he even touched the girl's face.
"Mother…Mother!" The girl tried her best to break free from the hand that frightened her. Her face was pale as she looked helplessly at her mother and cried.
"Grandpa! Please let go of my daughter. I'll definitely return the money quickly!”Of course, the woman couldn't just watch her daughter being taken away. She quickly rushed forward to save her child, but she was stopped by a few strong men and dragged to the side to 'torture' her.
"Mother! Mother! Stop fighting! Stop fighting! Mother…" The girl cried at the top of her lungs, and Xiao Mo couldn't help but cry as well.
