Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 166

[Chapter 166 The Ghost]

Qin Wan is in a special period these days, and Lin Xiu takes care of her in every possible way.

She is not allowed to touch cold water, and she is not allowed to do any work. She is given a cup of brown sugar water with ginger slices every morning and evening, and a hot water bottle is kept at the most suitable temperature for twelve hours every day. She also personally stews a red date, wolfberry and white fungus soup for her.

However, even though Lin Xiu did so much, her pain did not seem to be alleviated much.

Qin Wan, who is stronger than anyone else on weekdays, can only lie in bed now, curled up, with cold sweat on her forehead and her face as pale as paper.

It seems that no matter how strong a woman is, it is difficult to pass this level.

Except Shuangshuang.

As a woman, she is really too happy.

Even Lingyin was frightened by Qin Wan’s appearance. Although her symptoms every month are better than Qin Wan’s, she can still be in pain occasionally.

Lin Xiu almost thought he had done something wrong. He looked at Qin Wan and asked, “Was it so painful before?”

Qin Wan gritted her teeth and said, “It’s much better this time.”

Lin Xiu had never experienced this kind of pain, but he knew that this feeling was very uncomfortable. He hesitated for a moment and asked, “How about I give you a massage? I learned it from my friends in the Imperial Hospital, and it should be effective.”

After that, he added, “Just massage your waist through your clothes, just lie down.”

Zhao Lingyin was surprised and said, “How come you know everything?” Lin Xiu

said, “When you are in the martial arts world, it’s better to have many skills. Isn’t it useful now?”

Qin Wan couldn’t care less. She changed to a prone position and said, “Whether it works or not, let’s try it first.”

Although she was wearing clothes, this position was still very tempting.

According to the common judgment standards of people in this world, Qin Wan is the type of “easy to give birth to and raise”, that is, easy to give birth to and raise, which requires plump buttocks and breasts, so the three words “easy to give birth to and raise” are actually a very high evaluation of a woman’s figure.

Qin Wan was still suffering, and Lin Xiu had no time to think about it. He rubbed his hands together and warmed them up, and then placed them on her waist through her clothes.

Zhao Lingyin stared at Lin Xiu’s hands and found that his hands were always moving in that small area, and his expression was very serious. She was surprised, did he really understand this?

Soon, Qin Wan gave her the answer.

As Lin Xiu massaged, Qin Wan’s pale face began to turn rosy, and the pain on her face gradually disappeared.

She touched her abdomen, her beautiful eyes shining, and said, “It really doesn’t hurt anymore…”

Lin Xiu withdrew her hand and said, “Of course it will work. Do you think I’m taking advantage of you?”

Qin Wan lay comfortably on the bed and said, “Don’t stop, push it for a while…”

“It’s all right, why are you still pushing it…” Zhao Lingyin grabbed Lin Xiu’s wrist and said, “It’s getting late. We still have to go to the Academy of Extraordinary Arts to practice. If we go late, Princess Minghe will nag again.”

Qin Wan sat up from the bed and said with emotion, “With this skill, any woman who marries you will be blessed.”

After that, she seemed to realize something and said apologetically, “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it.”

Lin Xiu waved her hand and said, “It’s okay. I’m glad you’re okay. Lingyin and I will go to the Academy of Extraordinary Arts first.”

Qin Wan nodded, and said, “What do you want to eat today? I’ll go buy some vegetables later.” Lin

Xiu thought for a while and said, “Tofu, pork ribs, and buy a fish. I’ll kill it when I come back…”

A moment later, Zhao Lingyin and Lin Xiu were walking on the street, thinking about other things in their minds.

When Qin Wan was not feeling well, Lin Xiu would take care of her meticulously, and Qin Wan would wash clothes and cook for him. The two of them were like a real couple.

If the elder sister had not left that night, it should be the elder sister who was spoiled by him, right?

She was so lonely, how nice it would be if there was someone to accompany her.

They were equally hardworking in their cultivation, and even their talents were not much different. They should have been the most suitable couple, but now they could only drift further and further apart.

Thinking of this, she sighed leisurely.

Perhaps, what he wanted was a wife like Qin Wan.

Lin Xiu glanced at Lingyin and said, “Why are you sighing? I wasn’t trying to take advantage of you just now. You saw that my massage is really useful…”

Zhao Lingyin looked at Lin Xiu and asked, “Do you like Qin Wan?”

Lin Xiu said, “Of course, who doesn’t like Qin Wan?”

“What about Xue Ning’er?”

“She likes her too.”

“What about Caiyi?”

“She likes her.”

Zhao Lingyin said speechlessly, “Can’t you just love one person exclusively?” Lin Xiu

looked at her and said, “My heart was originally very loyal, but then it broke into many pieces, and each piece fell in love with a different person…”

…

After Lin Xiu’s massage, Qin Wan was fully revived. After dinner, Lin Xiu looked at her and asked, “How did you get through it before?”

Qin Wan said, “Just bear it and it will pass. This little pain is nothing.”

Lin Xiu looked at her and smiled, “You don’t have to bear it in the future.”

Qin Wan smiled, stretched out her hands to him, and said, “It’s time to help me apply the ointment.”

After applying the moisturizer to Qin Wan, Lin Xiu returned to his room and saw a bird on the table.

He took some bird food from the box beside the table and sprinkled it on the table. He blew some kind of whistle in his mouth. The whistle sounded very similar to the sound of a bird.

In fact, it was the sound of a bird.

He could only understand the words of the birds before. After the animal language ability evolved again, he could communicate with them in animal language. This ability is a bit useless at present, because Lin Xiu can communicate with animals through telepathy, but maybe it will be of great use in the future.

Since the prince fell ill, Lin Xiu has been paying attention to the prince’s condition.

From the parrot, Lin Xiu learned that the prince had recovered quite well and had secretly met someone today.

However, the things they discussed seemed very mysterious and were conducted in a secret room, so Xiao Lan did not overhear them, which made Lin Xiu a little interested.

I don’t know what bad things the prince is planning again. I have nothing to do at night, so I might as well go and take a look. Maybe I can get some unexpected gains.

The East Palace.

Late at night, in a secret room in the basement of a palace, the prince asked the eunuch beside him: “This is the last bit of silver I begged from my mother. Are you sure this is foolproof?”

The eunuch said: “Your Highness, don’t worry. This batch of magic powder was bought from black market merchants. Their goods were not obtained in a legitimate way, and they dare not sell them openly, so the price is extremely low. After we resell them, we can make at least 50,000 taels of silver.”

The prince nodded, and then said: “Remember not to be caught by others, otherwise, the Song family and the King of Qi will make a big fuss in the court.”

The eunuch said again: “Your Highness, don’t worry. From beginning to end, I have not revealed any news about the East Palace. They don’t know who the buyer is. This batch of goods can be sold tomorrow morning.” The prince

slowly breathed a sigh of relief and was no longer worried about the matter.

Originally, with his status, he would not participate in these things. Although the profit of Shenxian Powder is high, if outsiders know that Donggong is involved in the business of Shenxian Powder, it will damage his reputation. The reputation he has accumulated for many years cannot be stained.

But last time, that damned group of thieves stole all his treasures, not only making him lose the opportunity to be promoted to the Earth Rank, but also making him penniless. Without silver, how can he win people’s hearts and maintain the operation of Donggong? In desperation, he had to think of other ways.

Fifty thousand taels of silver is undoubtedly a huge sum of money for him now.

The prince thought about it and said, “Let someone look after that batch of goods. This silver is very important to this palace. No matter what, no mistakes can be made.”

Not long after, a servant walked out of the East Palace and walked around several streets and alleys before arriving in front of a house in the West City.

He stretched out his hand, knocked on the door three times, and knocked twice slowly. Soon, the door of the house opened, and when he walked in, it closed immediately.

There were several figures in the yard. The servant walked into the yard and first looked at the dozen large boxes in the yard and asked, “Is there anything wrong?”

One person said, “Don’t worry, everything is normal. Tomorrow morning, this batch of goods will be sold and it has nothing to do with us. Tonight, two people will take turns on duty, and the shift will change every hour.”

After he said this, he suddenly yawned and said, “I’m a little sleepy. I’ll go to the room to take a nap first. You can find me to take over the shift when the time comes.”

After that, he walked into a wing room to rest.

The others went back to their rooms to sleep, leaving only two people on duty in the yard.

Not long after, the two people on duty in the yard also felt sleepy, but they didn’t dare to sleep. They could only lean against the tree to take a nap, and felt their eyelids getting heavier and heavier.

Plop!

One person was too sleepy and unstable, so he fell to the ground. He woke up instantly, and after getting up, he looked at the empty yard. He couldn’t believe it at first, rubbed his eyes, and said in horror: “Where are the goods!”

A moment later, several figures ran out of the room, staring at the empty yard in a daze, with extremely terrified expressions.

Where are the goods, where are the goods in the yard?

In just a moment, the dozen boxes of goods disappeared out of thin air. Could it be a ghost?

…

East Palace.

The prince had already gone to bed. When he heard the news that the goods were missing, he jumped off the bed barefoot, his eyes wide open, grabbed the eunuch’s collar, and said angrily: “What did you say, the goods are lost!”

The eunuch looked pale and nodded: “Your Highness, just now, it seems that someone hypnotized the people guarding the goods and stole the goods.”

The prince felt dizzy, his body swayed, and he almost fainted.

The eunuch quickly supported him and said, “Your Highness, calm down, calm down…”

The prince’s chest heaved and he said angrily, “Fifty thousand taels of silver, how can I stay calm? Didn’t you say that no one knew about this? Why were the goods still stolen!”

The eunuch looked up at the prince and said solemnly, “Your Highness, the secret room was stolen last time, and the goods were stolen this time, but there was no trace left. It is very likely that it was done by the same group of thieves. They didn’t steal from others, but stared at Your Highness. I suspect that there is a ghost around Your Highness…”

In the dark night, the prince and the eunuch did not notice that on a tree next to them, a blue-crowned parrot was silently watching them. Its pair of mung bean-like eyes emitted a little light in the dark night…
