After being bound to the learning system in my mother's womb, I became the empress

Chapter 31 Don't pretend to be in front of me
Liu Jingen's daughter-in-law, Liu Zhaodi, always said that the Lin family was a scourge that would kill her husband and ruin the feng shui of the village.

He was furious, but couldn't clarify.

This kind of thing becomes darker and darker the more it is described, and the more self-evident it is, the more eloquently those people talk about it.

That is to say, the Lin family lives in a corner and seldom interacts with the villagers, so they did not hear these rumors.

Fortunately, the village chief of Mingshui Village rarely had a clear day and ordered the villagers not to talk nonsense or use strange power to distract their minds, so the rumors finally stopped.

Although he maintained his integrity, he still had to be careful not to leave anything behind.

Qin Feng looked up at the starry sky above his head and sighed melancholy.

I don’t know when the prince will transfer him back?
During these days when he is not with the crown prince, what if Qin Xiaohua (his nickname for Qin Hua) takes the opportunity to take the throne?
In the room, Lin Xi opened her eyes. The man named Qin was really talkative, but he was gone.

She made a babbling sound and called Cui Niang.

When Cui Niang came to hug her, she took out the money bag, white jade hairpin and hair crown that were stuffed into her clothes.

Cui Niang looked at the few things she took out and was stunned.

"Sister, come and see."

Lin Chunniang opened the curtain and walked in: "What's wrong?"

After a while, Lin Xi was held by Cuiniang and sat beside the fire. The three things she took out were taken turns to be looked at by the Lin family.

Lin Chunniang's voice was trembling: "There are a total of 25 taels of silver in this bag, and several hundred more. Where did Xibao come from with so much money?"

Lin Dayou carefully held the small white jade hair crown: "The quality of this jade crown is the same as the jade pendant that dad used to carry. Dad said that jade pendant was carved from mutton-fat jade. A small piece will cost There are several hundred taels of silver."

The moist, translucent, and ingenious white jade hairpin was held in Lin Xi's hand.

With the money bag she scrounged from the salesman and the white jade hair crown she got from Lin Wushang, it would not be a problem for the Lin family to pay off their debts.

There is still a lot of money left.

This is also a blessing in disguise.

Yuniang was so sleepy that her head was getting tired, and the piece of candy she was holding in her hand was about to fall off. Lin Chunniang carried her into the house, wrapped the piece of candy in oil paper, covered her with a quilt, and came out.

"Sister, let's go to Lujia Village tomorrow and pay back the money we owe grandpa." Lin Dayou said to her.

Lin Chunniang shook her head, "Don't rush to pay back the money now, wait until Cai Hehua comes at the end of the month."

It had only been a few days since Cai Hehua came to collect the debt. If they had to pay it back tomorrow, Cai Hehua would have thought that they had deliberately failed to pay it back because they had money before.

Maybe they'll even get to the bottom of it and find out how they earned their money.

Lin Dayou thought about it and understood Sister's concerns, "That's okay."

The next day, after Lin Dayou went to the town to sell fish, he went home and met Lin Chunniang, and the two of them went to sell the goods on the boat.

The goods were naturally the load left behind by the salesman. Lin Chunniang kept what she could use and added a lot of belongings to her family. The house finally looked no longer so empty.

The rest were carried on board.

The siblings went down the river and hawked in the villages near the river.

At home, Lin Xi was tinkering with the madder that could be dyed by herself while Cuiniang was working.

Without tools, she simply crushed the madder roots with her fingers, and applied the crushed juice to her right ear, creating a pale red birthmark that covered the bloody mole on her earlobe.

In fact, moles are also a type of birthmark, and some birthmarks will grow bigger and bigger the day after tomorrow.

So she would gradually expand the area where she would apply madder juice, making people think that her birthmark was growing up with her.

As for the juice on her hands, Lin Xi washed it off with her own saliva.

Madder juice is acidic, while saliva is alkaline, and the two can be neutralized.

In this way, the "evidence" in hand will not be retained.It's just a bit mouth-watering.

While washing her hands with saliva, Lin Xi sensed something. When she looked up, she saw someone standing outside the window.

Lin Wushang!
When did this weird kid come?She didn't notice at all.

How much did he see in her actions just now?

Lin Wushang jumped in from the window, walked to her and squatted down.

At the same time, Qin Feng came to find Cuiniang, chatted with her, and covered up his eldest son.

inside the house.

Lin Wushang reached out and touched Lin Xi's newly dyed ears. His fingertips were stained with a little madder juice. He looked at the red color and smiled at Lin Xi. That smile seemed to say -

I finally got a hold of you.

"Do you want to use madder juice to hide the bloody mole on your ear?" Lin Wushang said softly. Although it was a question, his tone was affirmative.

Lin Xi looked like she didn't understand. She was playing with her fingers and making milky babbling sounds from her mouth. She looked like a cute and well-behaved baby.

However, Lin Wushang was not fooled by her appearance. He pinched her cheek and said, "I know you understand, so you don't need to pretend in front of me."

Lin Xi: Why is this kid so annoying?He pinched her face at every turn.

He opened his mouth to howl, trying to lure Cui Niang over so that the brat would have to leave.

Unexpectedly, before he could speak out, his mouth was covered.

Facing Lin Xi's big watery eyes, Lin Wushang paused slightly and looked away.

"Don't cry, or I'll hit your dumb point." His tone was calm, but he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

This was the first time in his life that he threatened a little baby who couldn't even speak.

Lin Xi's eyes were full of tears, and her little red mouth was deflated, but she seemed to be frightened and really didn't dare to cry.

Even knowing that she was pretending, Lin Wushang still felt a little guilty.

He took out a small porcelain white round box the size of glutinous rice balls from his arms and opened it. Inside was a milky white translucent paste.

"This is Hongni ointment. It can cover up the mole on your ear without being washed away. If my guess is correct, the people of the Xuanying Cult who kidnapped you relied on the blood on your ear. The mole recognizes you.”

Lin Xi reached out to grab the small round box, as if a child had touched something fun.

In fact, he wanted to get this thing, just like he pulled the hair crown from Lin Wushang's head earlier.

Madder juice wasn't the best choice for hiding a bloody mole, but as a little baby, she couldn't get a better disguise.

Now that this kid has taken out the Hong Ni Paste, she will naturally not let it go.

Unfortunately, Lin Wushang didn't do what she wanted this time and avoided the hand holding the small round box.

"You answer a few questions for me, and I'll give it to you. Of course, I know you can't speak yet, so you just need to nod or shake your head."

Lin Xi closed her eyes and breathed steadily, as if she had fallen asleep after being tired from playing.

It's just that I fell asleep too quickly.

He clearly refused to answer.

Lin Wushang: "..."

She was already "asleep", could he still shake her awake?

After playing with the small round box in his hand, he still kept it.
