Gasp! She's a Time Traveler Using Modern Tech to Improve Ancient Life Chapter 638 - 636: Uninvited Guest

With this embroidery piece, I’ve finally paid off the gift.

The total value of Ye Yinyin’s shopping spree for Lin Wanwan today is probably about the sa.

It pains Lin Wanwan a bit to pay in cash because her cash flow is limited, and converting antique treasures is difficult, but when gifting embroidery pieces, she’s very generous!

This piece, although it took two of Lin Wanwan’s palace slaves a month of hard work, they belong to her, so the costs are ridiculously low.

She just gave them a few small favors and a little respect, and the two embroideresses were deeply moved.

It’s not that she doesn’t want to give more, but the historical context doesn’t allow it.

The slave system in the Tang Dynasty was a combination of feudalism and slavery, where household slave laws were stricter than those for livestock; she alone cannot challenge the societal values.

So she can only be good to her household slaves in terms of living and welfare, but when it cos to wages and such, she really can’t break the norm.

This round of dealings for Lin Wanwan is imnsely profitable.

Because it’s too profitable, she’s afraid of being watched by the officials (her secret can’t stand the scrutiny), so she has the finance departnt pay taxes at the highest tier.

That’s how extravagant we are, not evading taxes! Not leaving any leverage! We are successors, of course, we must contribute to society; our awareness is just that high.

After getting ho, it wasn’t long before Lin Wanwan received the clothes, shoes, and hats that various stores had gradually sent to her door.

If it weren’t for her second floor and attic undergoing refurbishnt with a sufficiently large closet, there would have been no place for all these new clothes and shoes.

This afternoon’s haul rivals Lin Wanwan’s years’ worth of shopping.

Co evening, Lin Wanwan received a call from Lu Shouyue, inviting her to drink at Jie Yuting’s bar.

Lin Wanwan didn’t want to go out, having just finished an online class and hasn’t relaxed yet.

But when Lu Shouyue called her, he was already at her doorstep.

So Lin Wanwan reluctantly went out to the balcony, instructed her dog Fugui to open the door for Lu Shouyue, while she leisurely changed clothes and walked downstairs.

If it weren’t for Lu Shouyue’s arrival, she had planned to sleep. Bath was taken, makeup removed, and pajamas were worn, especially since she had to rush back to the Ancient City early in the morning.

Lu Shouyue glanced up at Lin Wanwan disappearing from the second-floor balcony, the corners of his mouth slightly curled. Wearing her court-style puffed sleeves, revealing a section of her fair arm, she was particularly alluring.

Fugui, the smart dog, was just shy of speaking words, opening the courtyard gate for Lu Shouyue was a no-brainer; it could even use the little card hung around its neck to unlock the main door of the villa electronically.

"Mr. Lu, I really don’t want to go out, no matter how delicious the wine is, today it holds no appeal for ." Lin Wanwan gracefully descended the stairs, speaking as she walked.

Lu Shouyue didn’t actually insist on taking her for a drink; it was just that a day seed like three autumns without seeing her, so he used it as an excuse to visit.

"Then let’s not go, thank you for shopping with my mom today."

Having dropped work for several days, Lu Shouyue, because of having his mother’s bodyguards today, hadn’t acted as a protector and processed business affairs all day.

Another reason was that they had already returned to Yongcheng, compared to the Ancient City where tomb robbers were rampant, naturally more relaxed.

Lin Wanwan smiled and said: "No need for thanks, I also had a good ti shopping with Auntie. Mr. Lu, what do you drink, Coke or tea?"

"Tea."

"Oh, then let’s go to the attic, I have the tea set placed under the attic window."

"Alright." Lu Shouyue naturally followed the host’s lead.

The two climbed up to the attic, Lu Shouyue looked around and laughed: "This is a good spot for stargazing."

Lin Wanwan knelt on the tea seat’s cushion, elegantly brewing tea and said: "Mr. Lu, let make you a Tang Dynasty flavored tea soup, how about it?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Shouyue’s gaze subtly shifted, but his face remained indifferent, saying only: "Alright, Wanwan has done a deep study of Tang culture!"

"Just so-so, third in the world." Lin Wanwan lightly joked.

Lu Shouyue glanced at the tea table, half-jokingly said: "This tea table is nice, made of golden silk nanmu wood, has so age. Wanwan, you didn’t bring it from ancient tis, did you? Hard to find such quality in modern tis."

Lin Wanwan assud Lu Shouyue was joking and casually replied: "Yeah, I brought it from ancient tis, hahaha."

The two exchanged smiles and Lin Wanwan laughed heartily as she thought about this complete set of tea ware and tea table, which really was all moved from Great Tang County’s dock, certain that Lu Shouyue could never have guessed.

Lu Shouyue, however, felt even more certain about his speculations, watching Lin Wanwan’s smile, his heart itched.

This silly girl still thinks she’s perfectly seamless.

Lin Wanwan herself doesn’t favor Tang Dynasty tea soup, but has beco skilled in the entire tea brewing process.

After mingling in the Tang dynasty noble circles for long enough, one would eventually pick it up, especially since she had seriously studied under Mr. Cao.

Lu Shouyue watched Lin Wanwan, whose every move carried an ancient vibe, and couldn’t help but be a little distracted.

He’s truly curious how Lin Wanwan managed to cross worlds, from observing in these past days, it seed to happen at night.

Unless she doesn’t need sleep, otherwise it’s certain the ti flow between the worlds has a discrepancy, just not sure how large.

After the tea soup was distributed, it was getting late, Lu Shouyue reluctantly got up to say goodbye.

"Wanwan, I’ll co pick you up for the airport in the morning."

"Oh, okay, thank you."

"You’re welco. So, good night."

"Mm, good night."

Watching Lu Shouyue leave, seeing the German Shepherd Fugui close the main door, Lin Wanwan yawned, walked back from the balcony to her room, changed into pajamas, quickly washed up, and lay in bed to sleep.

At the sa ti, outside the courtyard, Lu Shouyue, accompanied by bodyguards, got into the bulletproof BMW car that had been driven over, slowly headed toward the community’s main gate.

He encountered a delivery guy wearing ituan clothes and riding an electric scooter, the two vehicles briefly t and then parted.

Lu Shouyue habitually glanced at the other party, and the next mont, his gaze sharpened, understanding the unique aning of the large backpack on the delivery guy, a sense of danger climbed up his spine.

He imdiately ordered without hesitation: "Turn around, go back."

"Yes."

The driver Ah Hao, though a bit curious, didn’t utter a word and steered the car at the corner, heading back toward Lin Wanwan’s villa.

Eat the lord’s salary, serve the lord’s affairs, naturally do whatever the boss says.

At this ti, Lin Wanwan had just lain down, turned off the lamp ready to sleep.

Everything was quiet, but she suddenly heard a faint whimper beside her ear, followed swiftly by a gentle "click".

She abruptly opened her eyes, turned over and grabbed the treasure sword hanging on the floor lamp at the bedside, barefoot, she quietly listened for movent at the doorway.

She’s sure an unwelco guest has arrived in the house.

Choosing to co over late at night, the nature of the other party is very clear, either adulterous or thieving.

Lin Wanwan isn’t afraid of petty theft, with her evolved divine power and swordsmanship learned from the Tang Dynasty, she’s confident in handling a few petty criminals with ease.

However, she never imagined that this ti she faced a reckless fugitive who buried many corpses, and the other party had a silenced gun with frightening power.
