Chapter 198: Luck is manipulated
Qu Jingyao was persuaded and sent back to her room. Before leaving, he still reminded her to have a good rest and preferably a good sleep, and he would call her for dinner.
The room was extremely quiet. The afterglow of the afternoon sun shone through the west window onto the layers of curtains, making the light seem less glaring and softer. She walked slowly towards the inner room. Wherever she went, wherever she saw, she saw luxury.
Qu Jingyao released the small fire in the space, and even Manman followed her into the room.
"Master, it seems your grandfather treats you well. Look at that gilded palace lantern, it's really beautiful."
"Yeah, yeah, Boss is right. This room is much bigger than the one the master has in Lingshui Village."
She listened to the two little figures, one black and one red, chattering as they jumped up and down in the room.
Just as she was about to speak, she heard a sound coming from the yard outside.
"Yao'er, Yao'er..."
"Eldest Young Master, Fourth Young Master, what are you doing? The young lady has already rested, and Madam has instructed us not to disturb her."
The maid stopped her outside the yard.
The door was opened by Qu Jingyao at this time.
"Uncle, uncle, are you looking for something to do with Yaoer?"
When they saw her, their eyes lit up and they walked towards the door excitedly.
"Yao'er, did you make this pill?"
Behind her, Xiaohuo and Manman just walked to the door. When they heard this, Manman and Qu Jingyao looked at each other.
Then she heard Manman say to her through her sea of consciousness: "What I made belongs to the master, so it can also be considered as made by the master."
Qu Jingyao coughed twice awkwardly, then nodded sheepishly, asking if there was anything wrong.
"No, no, this is the first time my uncle has seen such a magical pill. My power has increased by more than 10%, and my body has become much lighter."
"puff"
Qu Jingyao pursed her lips and chuckled softly.
"So this is why uncle is talking about this! Don't worry, uncle, as you continue to learn martial arts, you will improve."
"Yes, yes, I noticed that too. My uncle has grown a little today compared to last night after taking the medicine. I was just sparring with the guards in the backyard martial arts arena just now, and I didn't expect to gain such unexpected benefits."
After hearing their words, Qu Jingyao felt relieved. The safety of her uncles would be guaranteed in the future. She also reminded them to wear the jade every day.
"In a couple of days I will give each of my uncles a few jade pendants and hairpins of different styles. You can wear them in turn."
"You can't spend any more money, little girl. If your grandfather and second grandfather knew about this, they would definitely punish your uncles."
Qu Jingyao discovered that her uncle was also a cheerful and humorous person. She liked the atmosphere of the Qi family very much. Perhaps she had never had this feeling in her previous life.
"By the way, Yao'er, the Qiqiao Festival is in two days. Then your uncle will take you to see the night view of Bianliang City." Qi Wenyuan smiled, raising his chin.
The uncle standing by agreed very much. This time Liang'er went to the temple to pray for blessings. She had never given birth to a child for the Qi family since her marriage, and she had always been feeling uneasy about it. Every month she would go to the Fahua Temple in Yuyang Mountain to fast and pray for blessings for a few days. Coincidentally, she was not there when Yao'er came.
Qi Wenjiang told his brother to take good care of Yao'er and Yuyao on the Qiqiao Festival, as he would be away that day because he had to go to the Fahua Temple to pick up their sister-in-law.
After he finished speaking, Qi Wenjiang patted his brother's shoulder and turned to leave the yard.
Seeing his elder brother walking away with a worried look on his face, Qi Wenyuan sighed helplessly: "Alas, when will this day for elder brother and sister-in-law end?"
Qu Jingyao's face was full of confusion, her brows slightly furrowed, and she whispered, "Did something happen to my uncle? I really didn't see my aunt today, and the other uncles..."
Seeing her confused face, Qi Wenyuan called her to the flower hall, and after she sat down, he told her some things about her family.
Her aunt had been married for so many years but had no children, which had become a source of worry for her. Every month, she would go up the mountain to the temple to fast and pray for a few days.
As for my second aunt, she passed away last year. She and my second brother were childhood sweethearts. They had a ten-year-old son who was studying at the Imperial College and was therefore not at home.
Her third uncle and he are both bachelors, but her third brother is much better off than him. He has a fiancée and they are getting married tomorrow.
Yuyao's marriage was arranged by her family early on, and she was with the second son of the Marquis of Wuwei.
Qu Jingyao silently counted the extra people in her heart, wondering whether she should prepare some gifts.
She sat there blankly, chatting with Manman in the space, asking if she could check if there was anything wrong with her aunt's body, this quest for a child...
"Master, don't worry. You'll be able to tell when you see the person."
"Yao'er? Yao'er? What's wrong with you? Why are you in a daze?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Qi Wenyuan's eyes, and he waved his big hand in front of her.
Qu Jingyao turned around and smiled awkwardly: "Nothing, little uncle, I was just wondering if I should check on my aunt when I see her."
"Yes! Yao'er, you can treat illnesses, so you can definitely..." Qi Wenyuan's eyes flashed, the corners of his mouth curled up excitedly, and he clapped his hands. Why didn't he think of it?
Qu Jingyao was startled when she saw her uncle suddenly stand up.
"Yao'er, if you hadn't said you were the lucky star of the Qi family, I would have told my eldest brother right away."
As soon as he finished speaking, he ran out of the yard, leaving her no time to react.
She raised her eyes and smiled helplessly, communicating with Manman in the space.
"Master, I just discovered that the Qi family's fortune seems to have been tampered with."
"What did you say?"
Manman was startled by her master's sharp voice. She stood up and walked to the door, calling out to the maid outside:
"I need to rest for a while, please don't disturb me."
"Yes, I have remembered it."
Qu Jingyao closed the door and quickly slipped into the space.
She immediately appeared beside Manman and picked up Manman who was still strolling leisurely.
"Meow......"
"Manman, what did you just say happened to the Qi family?"
Manman looked at her master's gloomy face and was so scared that she quickly jumped out of her arms and squatted on the stone table in the yard.
"Master, I mean, the Qi family's fortune has been tampered with. There's clearly an evil spirit in this yard. Over time, not only will people's fortunes be affected, but their lifespans will also be affected. In serious cases, the family may even be destroyed."
Qu Jingyao's eyes became fierce, and his hands hanging at his sides were clenched into fists.
At this moment, she gritted her teeth and asked Manman how to crack it?
"Master, this is easy. You can go around every corner of this mansion and I will point out any problems.
Another thing is to find two pebbles from the waterfall pool and throw them into important places in the mansion, and soon the fortune of the Qi family will change.
Furthermore, with the blessing of these spirit stones, it will be hard for the Qi family to not prosper in the future."
Qu Jingyao's eyes lit up instantly.
