Chapter 988 Return Late

Chapter 988 Return late

Qingu's heart skipped a beat: What is it? Could it be that the original owner was tricky!

After regaining consciousness, Qingu quickly untied the skirt of his clothes, touched the red string around his neck... pulled it out, and saw a leaf-shaped jade pendant tied under the red string.

The jade pendant is only slightly bigger than the thumb, a thin piece, like a green leaf, and the red string passes through the small hole in the petiole.

The veins on the leaves are clear and full of vitality.

However, Qingu clearly remembered that when she was using her spiritual power just now, it was the icy coldness emanating from it.

When Qingu just pulled it out with the red rope, there seemed to be a shining light flashing on it.

This thing is not easy.

Qingu carefully recalled that this jade pendant seemed to be...a token of love between the original owner and Cheng Zhanghe.

At that time, after the two families in Cheng District made a marriage agreement, Cheng Zhanghe sent this jade pendant... Then, the original owner wore it on his body when he got married.

But, it doesn't make any sense, if this jade pendant is the chief culprit who killed the original owner, why did the original owner wear it for five years without incident?

When Qingu was about to examine the jade pendant carefully, there were soft footsteps outside the door, she quickly stuffed the jade pendant into her neckline, and lay on the bed again, flipping through the pages of the book in her hands.

It was Rulin and Juan'er, they brought some bedding and rearranged it.

After a while, when the two came over, Juan'er saw Qingu's clothes ripped open, and said, "Miss is so hot today, she even untied her clothes? This is just now, Miss was not like this before..."

Ru Lin glanced at Qingu's neck, and then said: "That's right, the ice jade that my uncle gave to Miss can cool down the heat and relieve dryness, did Miss take it off when she took a bath last night?"

Qingu replied casually: "No, I'm reluctant to take it off. I just feel a little tight in the chest, it's okay, it will be fine in a while."

As she spoke, she took the red rope from under the skirt and showed them the ice jade that was like a leaf, her expression was full of the infatuated appearance of a woman who fell in love.

From the corner of Qingu's vision, she noticed that Ru Lin was obviously relieved when she confirmed that the pendant was still on her neck.

However, combined with the context at the time, it can also be understood as the master saying "just rest for a while" and he was relieved.

Anyway, it seems that she must check this jade pendant carefully when she has time.

Rulin and Juan'er accompanied Qingu to talk some more, mainly asking what Qingu needed to arrange for the evening.

In fact, the family structure is relatively simple now. After Cheng Zhanghe moved to Yangcheng, he did not integrate into the mansion of his direct lineage. Instead, he bought a new mansion with the secret support of the Ou family.

The house is divided into two parts, inside and outside. The middle courtyard is separated by a wall and connected by an arched door. Cheng Zhanghe's parents, two concubines, and several servants live in the inner courtyard.

The original owner and Cheng Zhanghe lived in the front yard.

There is no need to set the province every morning and evening. The main reason is that they still don't agree with the original owner, the daughter of the merchant in their hearts. Moreover, in this big family, there are many women in the back house. They are fighting each other for the favor of the family, or for the interests of their children. Cheng Zhanghe's father had only been a small county magistrate for a few years, and he was also monogamous and three concubines, and his children were basically married or married. Except for Chengzhang He's biological mother who died of illness not long ago, there are only one wife and two concubines left, and the back house also looks calm on the surface, but in fact, the situation is dark.

It also saves the original owner a lot of trouble by not having to look at those bad things every day.

All in all, this is a common problem of most big families.

Qingu didn't have any special thoughts, just let the two of them follow the previous preparations based on the memory of the original owner.

Watching the sun go down gradually outside, she felt a little annoyed.

Is it really necessary to use the body of the original owner to consummate the marriage with a brat?

It is impossible to consummate the house, sleep with a "little" child, have no emotional basis, and be the husband of another woman... Even if she is now occupying the original owner's body, Qingu will never do such a thing.

But what method should she use to get through this time logically?

Well, pretend to be sick.

This seems like a good idea.

Qingu made up her mind, and at night, after the servants prepared a sumptuous dinner, when they asked her if she wanted to wait for my uncle or eat first, Qingu said that she seemed to be suffering from wind-heat today and felt unwell.

Let someone bring the food to her room, as for my uncle, let him keep it.

The sky and the earth are big, and the food is the biggest.

Qingu would not treat the original owner's body badly because of the original owner's husband whom he only met a few days ago.

The original owner's physical fitness is very poor. Even with the addition of her attribute value bonus, it is barely as strong as an ordinary person.

When Qingu was "reading" there in the afternoon, he ate up all those snacks.

When Juan'er heard that Qingu was not feeling well and was eating in the room, her eyes swept over the plates on the coffee table. Ms. Ping'an ate two or three cakes, but now she ate nearly twenty cakes in three plates. She said whatever came to her mind: "Miss, you...you...have eaten all those snacks, do you feel sick to your stomach? How about I go get you some hawthorn cake?"

Qingu said: "Alright. In fact, I have been suppressing my food intake all the time, for fear of gaining weight. But every day I feel hungry and panic, so I can't help but eat a little more today..."

Juan'er groaned, and looked at Qingu with some sympathy. She knew that my uncle had said before that he liked Miss's delicate and exquisite appearance - to put it bluntly, it was the kind that wanted to be petite and clingy. So the lady went on a diet on purpose.

She also felt that it was not good for her health, but the young lady insisted, and she couldn't help it.

Now that the lady has figured it out, she thinks it is a good thing. It's just... It's too much to eat all of a sudden.

Juan'er quickly responded and ran to get haw jelly and dinner.

Qingu was probably... the dinner you had at the beginning of the Youshi period, and there was still no sign of Cheng Zhanghe until the beginning of the Haishi period.

In fact, this is also very common in the memory of the original owner, and basically he will not come back until the end of Haishi. Then he had a toss-up with the original owner who had been waiting all night. The next day, we went to meet and greet our parents together.

Qin Gu can probably understand the life and psychology of this kind of back-home woman, and can also understand the mood of the original owner waiting for her husband to return.

Understanding is one thing, but Qingu doesn't want to be like this, even in order to conform to the original owner's personality, she doesn't want to be such a person. What's more, she has another excuse - she is sick.

Qingu didn't stand by the window and wait for Lang to return.

Instead, he put down the mosquito net directly and took a rest. In fact, he is still practicing the innate qi refining technique.

Qingu rubbed the leaf-shaped jade pendant in his hand, and felt it again at this time, it didn't feel that cold, but there was still a slight coolness, which made the whole body feel very refreshing.

Qingu touched it with her spiritual sense, and found that there really was something hidden inside the jade pendant.
