There are too many female protagonists with deceased husbands in the Qin Dynasty's Past Books.

Although the innate true energy from Yan Lingji was fierce and had the momentum of a raging fire, it did not cause Jiang Mo any trouble, let alone any harm.

Instead, it ripples with a gentle warmth, like a hot spring.

The warm, cozy feeling made Jiang Mo feel as if he were soaking in a hot spring, making it impossible for him to pull himself away.

Passionate as fire.

Tender as water.

They blend together perfectly.

The internal energy in the dantian is even more intertwined with the innate true energy.

Starting from the dantian, the surging innate true qi, carrying Jiang Mo's internal force, unleashed an unstoppable and mighty force, opening up several originally narrow and cramped meridians in succession.

Jiang Mo's momentum continued to rise.

After a long while, things gradually calmed down.

Carefully pulling out the bed sheet stained with the bewitching blood, lest it be burned halfway like the blanket, Yan Lingji looked up at Jiang Mo's face, which was more vibrant, more rosy and healthy than ever before, and suddenly smiled sweetly:

Actually, I don't mind.

"You don't mind anything?"

"I mean, I actually quite like those girls too. Ah Mo, when are you going to introduce me to them?"

"Are you kidding me?"

Jiang Mo rolled his eyes, thinking that Yan Lingji was definitely setting him up. However, he quickly realized that she wasn't lying; the effects of the Eternal Bond Gu were far more intense than they had anticipated.

Chapter 56 It's your turn on top

Mid-Autumn Festival, Huoyu Mountain Villa.

"Push harder, push even harder~ Yes, that's it, don't stop! This wonderful feeling is like surrendering yourself to the clouds..."

A clear, crisp laugh echoed through the back garden like a silver bell.

The pretty young girl gripped the rope tightly with both hands, stepping on the wooden plank. Her light and slender body rose and fell with the swaying of the rope, as if she would float away on the wind at any moment.

Listening to those terrible lines, Jiang Mo couldn't help but twitch his forehead.

It's just swinging on a swing, Hu Meier, what kind of lines are you spouting? Tell me, were you secretly reading those indecent novels again last night?

Can't you act a little more like a young lady from a wealthy family?

Despite inwardly criticizing Hu Meier for her unruly behavior and lack of elegance, Jiang Mo couldn't help but smile as he watched her nimble figure tumbling up and down on the swing.

Isn't that wonderful?

A young girl should be innocent, carefree, and without worries.

Like a bird soaring in the sky, she is free and unrestrained, as if all the troubles and worries of the mundane world are left far behind, unable to catch up with her pace.

With this thought in mind, Jiang Mo raised his hand to catch the swing rope that was being blocked, and then increased the force slightly.

He gently released his internal energy, causing a slight ripple in his blood and qi.

Amid Hu Meier's instinctive exclamation, the swinging swing accelerated again, rushing to a position nearly 90 degrees perpendicular to the ground before gradually slowing down and pausing slightly.

The pure white skirt swayed in the autumn breeze, as gentle as drifting clouds in the sky.

The clear blue sky was reflected in Jiang Mo's eyes.

Blue and white color scheme.

classic.

However, compared to Hu Meier, who was becoming increasingly excited amidst the exclamations, Chunlan, standing to the side, was already sweating profusely from nervousness as she watched the breathtaking scene before her.

One's heart seemed to be tied to that swing, rising and falling with Hu Meier's swaying figure.

Not to mention the occasional soft gasps of surprise heard from Hu Meier.

Even the faint friction sound of the swing ropes swaying was enough to terrify her.

They were afraid the rope might break accidentally.

The second young lady is probably really going to take off right there and then.

Even if she actually fell to the ground, just seeing Hu Meier tightly gripping the rough rope and thinking that her delicate palms might accidentally get scraped, Chunlan couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache.

She couldn't help but glare at Jiang Mo beside her.

I thought that with you by the Second Miss's side, you could offer her more advice and help her avoid acting impulsively.

But I never expected you to be such a troublemaker.

The kite we made last time was fun to fly, but the string broke accidentally when the Second Miss was there.

Chunlan still remembers that Hu Meier was chasing after the kite and trying to run into the back mountain.

But it gave her a fright.

After much persuasion, Hu Meier still looked sullen and depressed, her lips pursed. Huo Yugong, feeling sorry for her, waved his hand and ordered nearly half of the people in the manor to search for the missing kite.

It caused quite a commotion.

In the end, Jiang Mo went to the back of the mountain and retrieved the tattered kite from somewhere.

This upset the second young lady for quite some time.

Not long after the kite incident, Jiang Mo started tinkering with a swing.

This allowed Hu Meiren to wander around all day, having a great time.

Hu Meier had initially said she was hiring someone to help with odd jobs and errands, but Chunlan secretly thought that having another person to help would make her life much easier.

To everyone's surprise, Hu Meier didn't ask her to do any chores or run errands.

He called Jiang Mo over and only said one thing:

"I'm so bored lately, is there anything new or fun to do?"

So the person they found wasn't a servant at all.

I was looking for some entertainment.

As a result, Chunlan's work pressure not only did not decrease, but actually doubled due to Jiang Mo's endless stream of novel ideas.

How could she not harbor resentment towards the latter?

She wanted nothing more than to pounce on Jiang Mo, grab her by the neck, and shake her violently, angrily berating her: "Second Miss, you just give her whatever she wants? What happened to your insistence when facing the exam questions? You're so resourceful, can't you use that for something important?"

Jiang Mo was well aware of Chunlan's opinions about him.

But he pretended not to notice.

From the very beginning, Jiang Mo never intended to become a shrewd and capable assistant. If it weren't for Hu Meier's scheming, Jiang Mo would have been an inconspicuous ordinary servant in the manor.

Now that he is often by Hu Meier's side, it was truly a forced situation, and it was not part of the plan at all.

It's impossible to expect him to devote himself wholeheartedly to something like that.

After all, Jiang Mo's ultimate goal in coming here to work was to run away with the bucket, so he would naturally slack off whenever possible during his daily work.

In this respect, he surprisingly shared the same opinion as Hu Meier.

Hu Meier never let Jiang Mo handle serious matters like the estate's accounts or staff allocation. Whenever she summoned Jiang Mo, the instructions invariably revolved around "eating, drinking, and having fun."

These four words.

Chunlan had some reservations about this, but Jiang Mo, as the person involved, was fully aware of the situation.

Hu Meier was deliberately keeping her at bay.

Based on Jiang Mo's observations over the past few days, he was certain that Hu Meier had realized that he was the thief who had infiltrated the manor. Otherwise, she wouldn't have deliberately waved around the binoculars, crossbow, and parrot in front of him to test his reaction.

Preventing him from participating in the important affairs of managing the manor was clearly a precaution against Jiang Mo finding an opportunity to cause serious losses to Fire Rain Manor.

To be honest, Jiang Mo didn't understand what Hu Meier was thinking at all.

Despite discovering a master thief who was highly skilled, elusive, never failed, and dashing (the following 300 words are omitted as Jiang Mo's self-praise)... instead of exposing him, they still kept him by their side to use.

The phrase "raising a tiger to cause trouble" is insufficient to describe the audacity of this behavior.

However, since Hu Meier didn't expose him, Jiang Mo was naturally happy to cooperate with her tacitly. Even if he didn't have the opportunity to participate in the various secret matters in the manor, as long as he stayed here for one more day, Jiang Mo would have one more day to search for the treasure.

Moreover, there's no need for fighting or breaking into houses every day; all I need to do is come up with some novel and interesting things to play with Hu Meier.

What a wonderful job this is!

It's easy to get lost in this peaceful beauty, and before you know it, the sweltering summer is over, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is just around the corner.

Just as Jiang Mo was marveling at how fast time really flies, the swaying swing finally came to a stop.

With her face flushed, Hu Meier jumped off the swing with light movements. She was slightly out of breath, and there were still glistening beads of sweat on her forehead, indicating that she had exercised a little too vigorously.

But excitement still shone in those bright eyes.

Her cheeks flushed, making her look even more radiant, and her chest rose and fell with her heavy breathing. Her alluring eyes revealed a captivating charm.

She looked just like my girlfriend who had just gotten off the roller coaster.

Despite feeling weak with fear, I also experienced immense excitement from the thrill that exceeded my daily life. I wanted to try it again, but I was also a little hesitant.

So they cling tightly to your hand, begging and pleading to try other activities together.

Jiang Mo's heart stirred slightly, and he began to wonder if he should develop some other entertainment activities. However, swinging on a swing, even while standing, was still a bit boring.

Hmm, water rafting is not bad.

The rushing waterfall outside Huoyu Manor would be perfect; Jiang Mo was already eager to see Hu Meier's clothes get accidentally soaked by the waves.

It must be a feast for the eyes, a truly magnificent sight.

Hu Meier was unaware of Jiang Mo's wild thoughts; otherwise, she would have been overjoyed at the prospect of even more thrilling and exciting projects.

Even now, the smile on her face is radiant enough.

It was as infectious as a spring breeze in March, so much so that Chunlan, who had initially been quite critical, couldn't bear to criticize her further. She simply took out her embroidered handkerchief to wipe the sweat from her young mistress's forehead.

"Jiang Mo, come on, it's your turn to stand on top!"

Although the experience of soaring into the sky was indeed thrilling and exciting, Hu Meier, whose heart was pounding, was hesitant to try it a second time for a while.
