Chapter 22 Killing Intent

Pearl said: "The magpie was in the second wife's room before, but now it is arranged here."

Lin Qinghe raised her phoenix eyes slightly, and said lightly: "The peonies in the yard are blooming, let the magpies take care of them."

Pearl immediately understood, and said, "Your servant will make arrangements now."

At night, it rained suddenly, and a black shadow quietly appeared beside the peony bushes, and left quietly after a while.

In the early morning, the rain has stopped, and the sun is like the peonies in full bloom, overwhelming the sky, bright and clean.

Lin Qinghe sat in the hall, her face full of displeasure, her clear eyes staring at the shivering magpie kneeling on the ground, "What's going on here?"

Pearl said: "Miss entrusts you to take care of the most beloved peony flower, and it is good for you to take care of it like this!"

The magpie was tearful and begged: "Miss, it's all the servant's fault, please forgive the slave, it rained heavily last night, for some reason the peonies all withered."

A sneer curled up on Lin Qinghe's lips, "Slap ten boards and kick them out."

Pearl said, "Yes."

After disposing of the magpies, Pearl came over with a cup of fragrant tea and said, "Miss, take a sip of tea to calm your nerves."

But Ding Xiang didn't understand, and said, "It's strange, it rained many times before, so why are the flowers all right?"

Lin Qinghe glanced at her, shook her head, and said to Pearl: "You are still understanding."

Pearl stared calmly, and said: "After this incident, the second lady should restrain herself a bit."

Lin Qinghe sneered, and said: "It's just a small punishment. If she knows the sound, she will retreat in spite of the difficulties. If she doesn't know the sound, she will continue to embarrass me. I am not afraid of her."

After these days of recuperation, her body has improved a lot. Although she is not as strong as in modern times, she is at least very flexible and her martial arts foundation is still there.

Besides, she is still very popular with the old lady, with the old lady by her side, it is expected that the second lady would not dare to go too far.

"Let's go, it's time to greet the old lady."

The jewelry Lin Qinghe is wearing today is made of a set of rubies given to her by the old lady. It looks glamorous without being ostentatious.

As soon as she arrived at Fushouyuan, she saw several wives coming out of it. Lin Qinghe smiled lightly and said, "It's so early, Erniang."

The second lady's face was not very good-looking, and she said: "He'er is also quite early."

Lin Qingfu looked at Lin Qinghe with contempt, but she didn't say a word, while Qingmeng said: "Eldest sister, we are not like you. We worry about the old lady day and night, and it is normal that we can't get up in the morning."

Lin Qinghe just smiled faintly, walked past them, and entered the old lady's room.

Lin Qingfu hated her teeth itchingly, but she couldn't get angry, she just asked the second wife softly: "Mother, she is too arrogant."

A murderous intent flickered in the eyes of the second lady, but it disappeared quickly, and she just said lightly: "Go back."

The old lady was drinking tea, when she saw Lin Qinghe coming in, she smiled and said, "He'er, come and sit down."

"Good morning old lady."

After Lin Qinghe saluted, she sat down beside the old lady. The old lady ordered someone to pour her a cup of tea, and said with a smile: "This tea is made by a tea lady specially invited by the mansion. It tastes very good."

Lin Qinghe took a sip carefully, the taste was really good, mellow in the mouth and long aftertaste.

"Madam, He'er also likes to drink tea, how about He'er make a pot for you now?"

"It's rare for you to be proficient in these, so I'll just wait."

Then, he ordered people to prepare tea-making utensils, a small stove, some small charcoal, spring water, and high-quality tea cakes.

Lin Qinghe put the charcoal fire into the small stove, and said lightly: "It's better to burn chestnut trees for this charcoal, and for this water, it's better to use mountain spring water."

The old lady smiled and nodded, watching her while waiting.
