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

However, she was still a little unsatisfied.

In the blink of an eye, her quick thinking had already come up with other interesting ways to play. She blinked mischievously and then fixed her gaze on Jiang Mo, who had a calm expression on his face.

Patting the swaying swing beside her legs, she wanted to call Jiang Mo to stand on it.

"Thank you for your kindness, Second Miss, but this was prepared especially for you. How can a servant like me overstep my bounds? If you wish to share this pleasure with others, why not go and find the Eldest Miss?"

Without even thinking, Jiang Mo directly refused.

He didn't think the swing was too childish. In fact, even though he had unparalleled lightness skills such as flying over walls and riding the wind and embracing the moon, he still liked the leisurely and comfortable feeling of lying in a hammock and swaying gently.

Swinging on a swing is not as comfortable as sitting in a hammock.

But it's also quite interesting.

Jiang Mo refused because he felt that Hu Meier's invitation was definitely ill-intentioned, and that she was probably planning to sabotage him from behind while he was on the swing.

The same thing happened last time; everyone prepared their own materials for making kites.

After Hu Meier failed in her attempt, she feigned pitifulness and said she wanted to finish it with Jiang Mo so she could learn kite-making skills. In the end, she shamelessly picked up a brush, drew a few strokes on the silk cloth, and then took over Jiang Mo's finished product.

He even said he'd give it back to him after playing with it for a while.

As a result, the kite that had finally managed to take off was released directly into the air, and Jiang Mo had to go to the mountains to retrieve it, covered in dust.

Since then, Jiang Mo has become more wary of Hu Meier's suggestions.

She even felt that the other party was taking a risk to keep her by his side, and that she was trying to make trouble for him and see him make a fool of himself.

At this point, he was asked to stand on the swing.

Jiang Mo strongly suspected that Hu Meier was planning to team up with Chunlan to increase the force of the swing, swinging it to its highest point and then launching herself into the air.

That naturally cannot be done as she wishes.

Seeing Jiang Mo's decisive refusal without hesitation, Hu Meier, her plan thwarted, couldn't help but pout slightly and complain:

"My sister has been so absent-minded lately, she's not in the mood to spend time with me."

Chapter 57 My sister hasn't been acting well lately.

With her pink lips slightly pouting, Hu Meier was complaining about her older sister, but her tone clearly sounded like she was being coquettish, and her eyes also revealed a hint of pleading.

She was practically ready to grab Jiang Mo's arm and shake it.

If Lord Huoyu were here, seeing Hu Meier pleading like this, he would definitely agree without hesitation.

Even if it means performing aerial acrobatics with a middle-aged, overweight body.

We would absolutely spare no expense.

Jiang Mo wasn't afraid to perform aerial acrobatics. If he weren't worried about exposing his identity, with his current level of skill, he could easily carry Hu Meier and fly around.

Speaking of which, he actually has to thank Hu Meier.

Although there is no strict order in which the eight extraordinary meridians are opened, the state of the meridians becomes more solidified with the transformation of the body each time a meridian is opened.

As a result, the difficulty of opening up the meridians increases as you progress.

After Jiang Mo opened up his Ren and Du meridians with the help of the Crimson Spirit Blood Mushroom, he was facing a bottleneck in breaking through to become a first-class master. He might have wasted several years before reaching the last two extraordinary meridians.

Train your physique, accumulate knowledge and skills, and wait for the opportunity to break through.

This is under the condition that everything goes smoothly. There are countless people practicing martial arts in the world, but only a few can break through to the first-class level and make a name for themselves in the martial arts world.

Countless people are stuck at the level of top-tier masters, wasting their time and feeling helpless.

Mo Yuan's body has enough talent and aptitude, but she can't rush to break through to the level of a first-class master, unless she meets Hu Meier.

I had only been underwater for too long and had accidentally caught a cold.

Jiang Mo wasn't really concerned about this ailment, which could heal itself without medical treatment by resting for a few days and expelling the cold energy from his body through internal energy cultivation.

But Hu Meier seemed worried that he had contracted an incurable disease.

They stuffed all sorts of rare medicinal herbs, like Crimson Spirit Blood Ganoderma, Leopard Fetus Snake Gallbladder, and even herbs that Jiang Mo couldn't taste at all, into his mouth as if they were free.

Jiang Mo almost choked from overeating.

As a result, Jiang Mo's internal strength advanced by leaps and bounds during the process of digesting these rare medicinal herbs, and he unknowingly broke through and connected the last two meridians.

She even gained noticeable weight.

She is no longer as thin and slender as before, but has a more balanced and robust physique, and occasionally her well-defined muscle lines will be revealed unintentionally.

All meridians are open, and internal energy flows throughout the body.

The improvement in his realm has also enhanced Jiang Mo's mastery of the internal skill "Riding the Wind and Embracing the Moon". Many questions that he previously thought were ambiguous now have a clearer and deeper understanding in his mind.

Even while carrying Hu Meier, he could easily scale walls and rooftops.

However, Jiang Mo intentionally concealed his strength. At this moment, he naturally would not agree to let Hu Meier stand on the swing, for fear that his composure might inadvertently reveal his true strength.

There's no way around it; being strong also has its troubles.

Many things that Jiang Mo now considers easy and effortless are enough to leave others speechless with astonishment.

Jiang Mo refused to agree, but Hu Meier refused to give up and continued to insist.

He even subconsciously reached out, ready to grab Jiang Mo and push him onto the swing at his feet, so that this guy who had just been up to no good could also experience the feeling of spinning around in the air.

Would Jiang Mo, who was forcibly pressed in, sit there?

Wouldn't that be even better? The level of tension and excitement would be doubled!

With a slight sidestep and turn, Jiang Mo didn't use his incredibly fast lightness skill at all. In fact, he could be described as lazily shifting his body, easily dodging Hu Meier's hand that was about to grab him.

Their judgment of distance and control of dodging are already superb.

Hu Meier felt that she was only a little bit short, and when her fingertips brushed against Jiang Mo's hand, she could clearly feel the warmth emanating from his skin.

So she refused to give up and turned around to pounce again.

For a moment, it felt like chasing butterflies among flowers, playing a game of hide-and-seek back and forth in this small space, and surprisingly, it was quite enjoyable.

Until a soft cough sounded from the side.

The second young lady of the manor, always trying to hold the servants' hands, what kind of behavior is this? Even though she knew Hu Meier was just playing around, Chunlan, who was standing next to her, still couldn't stand it.

She coughed and gave Hu Meier a stern look, reminding her to be mindful of her manners.

Be careful to keep your distance from Jiang Mo.

However, this time she did not hold a grudge against Jiang Mo. After all, in Chunlan's opinion, Jiang Mo had already tried his best to evade Hu Meier's orders since he could not directly disobey them.

Little did they know, the latter deliberately created the illusion that they were just a little short.

This was used to provoke Hu Meier into trying it repeatedly.

However, under Chunlan's intervention, Hu Meier, though unwilling, could only reluctantly abandon her original plan and sat down on the swing next to her, somewhat dejected.

She gently swayed her dangling legs, her slender waist bobbing with the swing.

She couldn't help but sigh softly, muttering with a hint of complaint, "This is so boring. My sister is the same; she ignores me when I ask her to come and admire the flowers with me."

"When we were little, he always dragged me everywhere we went..."

After her plan to trick Jiang Mo completely failed, Hu Meier changed the subject and started complaining about Hu Yuer, continuing from what Jiang Mo had casually mentioned earlier.

Chunlan stood by with her hands clasped, her eyes lowered, offering no criticism of her master.

Jiang Mo, standing beside her, didn't hold back much. However, he didn't agree with Hu Meier's words, but casually remarked, "Miss is busy with the affairs of the manor, so it's inevitable that she'll be stretched thin."

"Second Miss, you should be more understanding of her and help Master with more of the manor's affairs."

Upon hearing this, Chunlan glanced sideways at Jiang Mo, noticing the serious expression on his face, and couldn't help but nod inwardly, thinking to herself:

That's not bad; at least it does live up to your position and responsibilities.

But she had no idea that Jiang Mo, who appeared to be offering loyal advice, was secretly thinking to himself as he spoke those words:

Hu Meier, you should probably focus on more important matters.

Stop thinking about eating, drinking, and having fun all day long. You're always dragging me around everywhere. How am I supposed to find time to search for the secrets of the treasure?

After all this time, I still haven't figured out where the underground sewers lead.

Where has the time gone?

Jiang Mo couldn't help but feel a little melancholy, and couldn't help but recall what he had been busy with for the past few months.

He picked wild fruits for Hu Meier to satisfy her cravings, secretly helped her find the legendary monkey wine, made kites with her, and even tinkered with the swing in front of him...

Life is quite fulfilling.

But is any of those things even a serious matter?

"She's not busy with anything important. I've noticed that my sister has been spacing out a lot lately. She doesn't respond when I call her, and she's even a bit absent-minded when she eats."

"Sometimes I'll suddenly burst out laughing for no reason."

Hu Meier couldn't refute the fact that she hadn't done much work and hadn't shared the various affairs of the manor, so she kicked at the pebbles at her feet and started to complain about her sister's recent performance.

The attempt was to bring the other party's performance down to the same level as one's own.

It seems that by doing this, she can be even more justified in not doing anything productive.

But as she spoke, a look of worry suddenly appeared on Hu Meier's pretty face. She subconsciously gripped the swing ropes tightly, and her swaying feet touched the ground to steady her swaying body.

She bit her lip lightly and said with a hint of worry:

"My sister has been acting really strange lately. Could she be sick? Or is she being haunted by some evil spirit?"

Chunlan hadn't thought that much about it at first.

After all, she was mainly busy working alongside Hu Meier, and in her memory, the young lady had been as dignified and elegant as ever recently, without any abnormalities.

But after Hu Meier mentioned it, she realized that something did seem a little off.

Even though she knew it was wrong to complain about her master, Chunlan couldn't help but whisper to Hu Meier about her young mistress's recent behavior.

The more we discussed it, the more suspicious it seemed.

I always felt that the young lady sometimes seemed to suddenly become a different person.

But unable to figure out what the problem was, he echoed Hu Meier's words and suggested, "Why don't we ask the manor's witch doctor to come and diagnose the young lady..."
