439 Madam Qiu’s Visit

Ji Yunxi’s good mood from the morning completely disappeared when she saw the people wearing veils coming and going on the streets.

If not for her rationality, she would have poisoned all those ignorant people to death.

“How dare they!” she thought.

In the Valley of Heavenly Secrets, the spider lily was a family flower. Only the Valley Master was qualified to wear it. Every successor was born with a flower bud between their eyebrows.

In other words, the spider lily was the symbol of the Valley Master of the Valley of Heavenly Secrets. Just like how only emperors were qualified to use things with a five-clawed golden dragon pattern in the mortal world.

On the other hand, these people’s actions seemed to remind her that the flower bud between her eyebrows was also fake.

“Young Master.” Mo Yu looked at the woman who walked past her, her eyes filled with killing intent.

Ji Yunxi closed her eyes and said coldly, “Let’s go.”

She was afraid that if she continued watching, she would kill someone in anger.

“Let’s wait a little longer. It’s not time yet. When that person sits on the throne and the Valley of Heavenly Secrets regains its former glory, then…”

The carriage suddenly accelerated, causing a commotion in the downtown area.

“What’s wrong with them?” Chu Feng muttered in confusion. Xuanyuan Ce lifted the curtain and took a look. The corners of his mouth twitched. The old abbot was indeed unreliable. If he only relied on this flower bud to find people, would all of these people be his daughters?

However…

He looked at the carriage that was getting further and further away, his expression dark.

Those eyes were too similar to the man who had once come to look for Ji Luo.

Actually, if Ji Yunxi didn’t wear a veil, he might not have thought of that person at a glance. After all, more than ten years had pa.s.sed.

However, she brought it along. When Xuanyuan Ce saw that man, his face was covered, so it was difficult for him not to a.s.sociate the two of them.

Could they have been the ones who took Ji Luo away?

She had once told him that she didn’t want to go back.

The blood in his body surged. Xuanyuan Ce frowned and suppressed the discomfort. He was about to put down the curtain when he saw a blue figure from the corner of his eye.

That person seemed to be born with a certain halo that could be seen at a glance in the crowd.

However, just as he thought this, before Xuanyuan Ce could instruct Chu Feng to rush over, that person slipped into the crowd and disappeared.

Xuanyuan Ce was speechless.

The slap in the face came too quickly.

Shen Yijia, who was born with a proverbial halo, crossed Chang’an Avenue and ran through most of the capital with Mo Yuan. She finally bought everything she needed. Wood, carving knives, saws…

When the two of them returned home, it was already past noon. From afar, they saw a carriage parked outside their house. It was not their family’s carriage, and Shen Yijia had never seen the emblem on it.

They had been in the capital for so long, but only Shangguan Yu and Xiao Ruoshui had come to their house.

Shen Yijia was curious about who else would come to visit. As soon as she walked into the courtyard, she saw Madam Li accompanying them out of the living room.

When she saw the woman who was being supported at the front, Shen Yijia’s eyebrows twitched. She reflexively raised the bag in her hand to cover her face. However, before she could hide, she was discovered by the sharp-eyed Bruiser.

“Sister, you’re back.”

He sounded quite happy.

Shen Yijia was speechless.

“Don’t expose me.” she thought.

Madam Li also said, “Sister Jia is back.”

She couldn’t hide anymore. Shen Yijia put down the bag and forced a smile. “Mother.”

After that, she immediately pretended to be surprised. “There’s a guest at home?”

Madam Li looked at her strangely. Wasn’t this acting a little exaggerated?

She coughed lightly and introduced, “This is Madam Qiu of Autumn Deer Academy.”

Shen Yijia tried her best to ignore Madam Qiu’s scrutinizing gaze and greeted her with a smile, “h.e.l.lo, Madam Qiu.”

However, she did not understand why this person would come to the house. Wasn’t that incident unrelated to her?

She had even saved someone.

So why did she feel guilty just now?

Oh, because it was a fact that she had overturned someone’s courtyard wall first, regardless of whether she had saved them or not.

However, no one saw it. If not for the fact that there was no one around, she would not have used the spiritual liquid.

Madam Li did not know what she was thinking. Seeing that Madam Qiu was only staring at Shen Yijia without saying anything, she could only explain, “Madam Qiu said that you helped her last time and specially came to thank you today.”

Shen Yijia’s heart skipped a beat. Now, she did not have to worry about whether this person was here to denounce her. Instead, she had to worry if someone had seen her actions.

She pretended to be puzzled. “Help? Help with what? No, Madam Qiu got the wrong person.”

This time, without waiting for Madam Li to speak, Madam Qiu smiled and said, “Is it convenient for me to talk to you alone?”

The grape seedlings had yet to grow. In order to block the sun, Shen Yijia found some dried thatch and laid it on the wooden shelves. The entire shed looked out of place in this residence. It was obvious that it was built as an afterthought.

Seeing that Madam Qiu was heading straight for the thatched shelf, Shen Yijia was even more certain that she was referring to that matter.

Madam Qiu dismissed Nanny Lan and the female servant who were supporting her. Seeing that Shen Yijia was only standing at the side, she comforted her, “Don’t be afraid. Sit.”

Shen Yijia was not afraid. She was just thinking about the consequences of killing this person to silence her if she asked about the spiritual liquid.

She didn’t move.

Madam Qiu did not know what she was thinking at all. She still smiled gently and said, “If you don’t want others to know that you know medicine, I’ll definitely help you keep it a secret.”

She had lived a long life, and knew that everyone had their own secrets.

Dean Lu had sent someone to investigate and heard from Madam Li that Shen Yijia knew medicine. Madam Qiu thought that she had hidden it from everyone.

“Huh?” Shen Yijia blinked. Medical skills? If she saw her use spiritual liquid, shouldn’t she have said that it was a demonic technique or an immortal technique?

Madam Qiu was amused by her adorable appearance. She covered her mouth with a handkerchief and coughed softly before saying, “That day, I vaguely heard someone call me. Unfortunately, my body was weak and I fainted before I could see the person clearly.”

“Oh, it wasn’t me,” Shen Yijia said seriously.

Since she didn’t see it clearly, she decided to deny it. What if Madam Qiu asked her to keep treating her?

However, other than using spiritual liquid, she did not know any medicinal techniques at all.

Madam Qiu was stunned. This was clearly the first time she had seen this girl, but she inexplicably understood what she meant. Her face said, “I won’t admit it. What can you do to me?”

She wanted to laugh, but she was afraid that it would cause a more serious cough. She could only endure it with difficulty and say with a smile, “I didn’t see it clearly at first, but I happened to wake up when she left. That girl was wearing the exact same lake-blue dress you’re wearing.”

Shen Yijia said, “Haha, what a coincidence.”

Madam Qiu was silent. Was this what it meant to do a good deed without leaving a name? This was different from Miss Ji, who pretended to have contributed.

The more Madam Qiu looked at Shen Yijia, the more she liked her. The way she looked at her became even more gentle and loving.

Shen Yijia did not know what she was thinking. Otherwise, she would have sighed. This was really a beautiful misunderstanding.
