Riding the Pheonix Chapter 167: Wild species

The next day, I went to the government to transfer the ownership. The house next door was under Mingwei’s name.

Madame Ji happily called for repairs. Not only did she want to open up the two houses, she also wanted to build a small garden in the middle, so she spent the whole day calculating the cost of the repairs with Mr. Dong.

This Mingwei didn’t get any money.

For one thing, the Ji family can still afford the repairs. Secondly, if she was willing to provide money at every turn, it would make the Ji family uncomfortable.

Ji Xiaowu pestered Duofu all day long to ask questions, while Mingwei sat on the porch, seemingly closing his eyes to meditate, but actually practicing.

The little white snake sat on her shoulder obediently, absorbing the mana she released.

The appearance of an old enemy gave Mingwei a sense of urgency.

She wants to practice step by step, but she may not be able to do it, so she has to find a way to take shortcuts.

To take a shortcut, there are two ways.

The first one, like Duofu, gets mana from others.

However, such an opportunity is rare, and she cannot forcefully steal other people's mana.

The second rule is to use precious things to promote birth.

She is not short of money now, but precious things that can generate magic power cannot be bought with money.

Take your time.

The sun was about to set. Mingwei opened her eyes and saw Ji Xiaowu squatting next to her and fanning her.

As the season enters May, the weather becomes increasingly muggy.

However, Ji Xiaowu took this job from her not for her, but to please Duofu.

Seeing Mingwei open his eyes, he curled his lips and put down his fan: "You can really sleep. After breakfast, you sleep until noon, and after lunch, you sleep until evening. Is your life only about eating and sleeping?"

Mingwei thought for a while: "No."

"What else?" Ji Xiaowu looked at her suspiciously.

"There's more to buy, buy, buy!" She waved to Duofu and took out the list she had written. "Ask someone to go to the store to buy these medicines. If they are not old enough, don't take them."

Duofu agreed and went to the house to get money.

Ji Xiaowu has good eyesight. When he saw the words ginseng, deer antler, snow lotus and the like written on them, he was stunned: "These are so expensive! Why did you buy them?"

"Of course...it's about beauty!" She smiled and raised her chin slightly, letting him see her dazzling beauty.

"How much money does it cost to maintain beauty?" Ji Xiaowu felt that his outlook on life was about to collapse, "I think my mother and sister-in-law just put on some ointment..."

"That's because the family doesn't have so much money!" Mingwei looked at him with pity, "Do you think that flowers and beautiful couples all fall from the sky? Without money, how can you be beautiful? Now I know that my aunt and cousin-in-law sacrificed their lives How old are you?"

Ji Xiaowu squatted for a while with confused eyes and asked her: "Are you going to keep looking good like this in the future?"

"Of course. Women, if possible, must be beautiful until the end."

"..." He suddenly stood up and walked to the main hall, muttering, "I want to break off the engagement, I can't afford it, and I can't afford it even if I sell it!"

Mingwei couldn't help laughing.

Duofu came back from the outer courtyard and looked at her in confusion: "Miss, these medicines are for your medicinal bath practice. Why did you lie to the Fifth Young Master that they were for beauty?"

Ming smiled: "Wouldn't it be a pity not to have some fun and entertainment when he comes to your door?"

In the main hall, Mrs. Ji could be heard yelling and scolding: "Ji Xiaowu, your skin is itchy if you don't fight for a day, right? What do you mean by canceling the engagement? This is a marriage agreed between your father and your aunt, how can you do it? Do you have the right to speak?"

……

Bo Linghou Mansion.

Yang Shu wore a black brocade robe today, which made his slender figure look extra handsome. He lost the exaggerated boyishness and became more condensed and steady.

As he walked through the hall, the crown prince’s wife, Mrs. Lu, came back from seeing a visitor. She saw that his clothes were exceptionally neat and that he had all the accessories, so she smiled and said, "Third brother, are you going to enter the palace?"

"Yes." Yang Shu responded lightly.

"My third brother has a concubine who loves me as if he were his own son. It's really enviable!"

Yang Shu didn't say anything, but just held his hand in front of him: "It's late, my wife is still waiting, so I have to leave first."

"Be careful on the road, don't keep your Majesty in a hurry." Mrs. Lu watched him leave with a smile on her face.

When he disappeared, the smile on Lu's face disappeared.

"You little bastard, show off in front of me!"

The maid next to Lu heard this and looked around in shock: "Young madam, be careful not to be overheard!"

Ms. Lu stretched out her hand to straighten her hair, and said lazily: "So what if someone heard me? There are so many people in the capital who know! What kind of aunt, not my own mother, treated him like that?"

The maid was helpless and kept her mouth shut all the way until she and Mrs. Lu entered the house and no one else was waiting, then she said: "Young madam, your concubine is deeply favored by the Holy Spirit. If this word reaches other people's ears, they will be in trouble. !"

While changing her clothes, Mrs. Lu said: "Okay, I know the seriousness. I see no one around me said it." After thinking about it, she was still dissatisfied, "I just can't get angry. He is obviously a **** brought back. But his grandparents loved him so much that even his father and mother put him before him, so the prince was forced to tolerate everything."

The maid was extremely anxious: "Young madam! Can you just say the word bastard?"

Mr. Lu sneered: "His surname is obviously not Yang, so what is he if he isn't a **** in the Yang family?"

"But his surname is Jiang!" the maid blurted out. ~IndoMTL.com~ Ms. Lu looked at the mirror and looked at it: "Look, even you know it. But what if his surname is Jiang? With the blood of a true dragon, the clan must be present at birth to prove it, in order to be included in the jade certificate, otherwise He is just a bastard. Don’t look at his current glory, he has offended several princes, and they will suffer for his sins if they wait for a long time!"

This is true.

"Alas!" Mrs. Lu looked at her face in the mirror and thought, no matter how strong a person is, he will never die.

I think back then, my family wanted to ask her to enter the palace. She thought that with her appearance, she would be favored by the saint. Who knew that Concubine Pei's light words would stop her from thinking about it.

Thinking of that woman, Lu's face darkened.

In what way is she inferior to that old woman? Do you really think that her scandal can be hidden from everyone in the world?

At first, the Pei family had only two daughters. One daughter married the emperor's eldest grandson and died in the coup. One daughter married into the Marquis of Boling Mansion and became the second daughter-in-law of Princess Mingcheng.

Not long after the princess's second son died of illness, the Hou Mansion announced that the second daughter-in-law also died of illness, and then there was an additional concubine Pei in the palace.

How long ago was Yang Shu born at that time? For the sake of glory and wealth, you can abandon your infant son, which is simply vicious!

Forget it. As Yang Shu grew older, his appearance had no resemblance to that of the Yang family. Apart from concubine Pei, he also had some resemblance to the Holy One.

This is interesting.

It was Concubine Pei who stole her life before entering the palace!

As an uncle, he stole his nephew's wife, gave birth to a son and gave it to his sister to raise. He brought someone into the palace to be his wife in an upright manner. Will he be listened to?

Thanks to Princess Mingcheng's generosity, her daughter-in-law was stolen by her younger brother, and she actually raised her as a bastard.

Yes, they are her Jiang family after all!
