Chapter 604: Chapter 596: Ancestor, Please Stop Adding Fuel to the Fire
Qin Liuxi glanced at Lv Xiaoshan, swept across her face, and a hint of amusent appeared in her eyes.
Is this the comfort and satisfaction Jiang Wenyan ntioned?
Indeed, ignorance is bliss.
Lv Xiaoshan did not expect her friend to have an outsider here, dressed in a green Daoist robe. She hesitated for a mont, wondering if this person was male or female?
Jiang Wenyan noticed her hesitation and stepped forward with a smile, taking her arm and said, “You ca at just the right ti today; let introduce you. This is the Junior Temple Master of Li City Qingping Temple, a Daoist doctor and a female crown. She is specifically invited by my maternal cousin Wenliu to check on .”
Lv Xiaoshan was surprised and looked at her friend, seeing her eyes bright and the lancholy that used to lurk in her eyes seed to have dissipated, she couldn’t help being greatly astonished: “Sister Jiang, have you recovered from your illness?”
Jiang Wenyan touched her face with both hands, smiling and said, “Thanks to the Junior Temple Master, I have seen improvent.”
She led her to sit down by the Arhat bed and said to Qin Liuxi, “Junior Temple Master, this is the close friend I ntioned. Her maiden na is Lv and she married into the Zhang family, you can call her Granny Zhang.”
Qin Liuxi nodded slightly in acknowledgent.
Lv Xiaoshan returned the gesture, and curiously glanced at Qin Liuxi, noting how young the female crown appeared.
Jiang Wenyan and Lv Xiaoshan exchanged pleasantries, congratulated each other, saying her hardship had turned into sweetness and believed that by the end of the year, she could beco an Imperial Decree Wife.
Lv Xiaoshan also couldn’t help but look delighted, yet modestly said, “How can it happen so fast? Even though he is just a scholar, starting as a County Magistrate, those are minor roles. Becoming an Imperial Decree Wife isn’t so easy, and even if it could happen, one must first ask for mother-in-law’s permission.”
“Anyway, what’s ant to be yours won’t escape you,” Jiang Wenyan pinched her face, saying, “They say good spirits co with good fortune, seeing your rosy complexion makes envious.”
Lv Xiaoshan, sweetly and a bit embarrassed, whispered, “Others are still here, don’t talk nonsense.”
Jiang Wenyan exclaid, “Look at , I got too excited, forgot. Junior Temple Master, could you take a pulse for Lady Shan and see when her child’s fate will arrive?”
Lv Xiaoshan was slightly startled.
“The Junior Temple Master is a female crown and skilled in dicine; it’s a rare opportunity, why not let her take a look?” Jiang Wenyan urged her friend with eager gestures, a chance not to be missed.
Lv Xiaoshan subconsciously touched her belly and pursed her lips, slightly embarrassed, and said to Qin Liuxi, “Would it trouble the Junior Temple Master?”
Qin Liuxi put down her teacup and said, “Her fate has indeed not arrived, or perhaps, might not arrive.”
Upon hearing this, the smiles on Jiang Wenyan and Lv Xiaoshan’s faces stiffened.
In the room, the maid accompanying Lv Xiaoshan looked up, and Qin Liuxi glanced over, the maid quickly averted her eyes and bowed her head.
Jiang Wenyan, seeing Qin Liuxi’s serious deanor and considering her capabilities, felt a thump in her heart and signaled the wet nurse.
The wet nurse then led people out with a smile, while the maid nad Ajiao looked at Lv Xiaoshan, “Miss?”
Lv Xiaoshan’s tone was sowhat faint, unclear if she was upset by Qin Liuxi’s blunt words or sothing else, and said, “Leave us.”
All the won exited the room.
Jiang Wenyan, unable to wait, asked, “Junior Temple Master, what did you an by those words?”
Qin Liuxi said to Lv Xiaoshan, “The maid you just ntioned is not trustworthy; you should be careful.”
Lv Xiaoshan’s face darkened, and she frowned, “You don’t know, Ajiao has been my close maid since childhood, serving for many years, and even saved my life once, we are like sisters.”
Although her tone was unhappy, there was no excessive bla, just that Qin Liuxi might not know the full story.
Qin Liuxi smiled without saying anything.
Seeing this, Lv Xiaoshan’s frown deepened.
Jiang Wenyan was also sowhat confused, looking at Qin Liuxi with a profound face, she hurriedly said, “Junior Temple Master, I can also vouch that Ajiao has indeed served Lady Shan loyally for many years.”
“People’s hearts change easily,” Qin Liuxi said lightly. “I have studied the Xuann Five Skills, though not an expert, I can still read so facial features. The maid you ntioned has what in servant palace appears as sharp and lean cheeks, a short chin, indicating an unstable personality, her eyes flit about calculatingly. Additionally, when she was asked to leave earlier, her expression was clearly panicked, showing a frightened heart with the sudden loss of control over the situation.”
Lv Xiaoshan’s frowning condensed into a ‘川’ shape, her lips tight, already looking displeased.
Jiang Wenyan felt at a loss; she originally wanted Qin Liuxi to take her friend’s pulse, but she blurted out sothing about fate possibly not allowing it, and suddenly the topic switched to her maid.
Qin Liuxi, seemingly oblivious to Lv Xiaoshan’s anger, continued, “I see the maid still has her maid’s hairdo, aning she is not yet married, right? But I see her Children Palace is plump and red; she must be pregnant.”
What?
Lv Xiaoshan suddenly stood up, staring at Qin Liuxi, and said, “How can you judge my maid to be untrustworthy and even claim she is pregnant just by looking at her facial features? How can you be so arbitrary?”
She was truly angry. Ajiao had been with her since she was very young; although she had a temper as a child, she was extrely loyal to her because she personally picked her from an orphan in a refugee camp, who could only rely on herself.
But now, based purely on a glance, Qin Liuxi had determined her not to be a loyal servant but a devious person, and even pregnant?
This was absolutely outrageous.
Lv Xiaoshan turned to Jiang Wenyan, holding back her anger, said, “Sister Jiang, it seems today is not a good day, I will visit you another ti.”
Jiang Wenyan stood up, feeling awkward, wondering how did it co to this?
As if fearing she wasn’t angry enough, Qin Liuxi said, “I study dical skills, and can tell whether or not soone is pregnant. It’s still early, and she might not know she’s pregnant herself.”
“You!”
“There’s more.” Qin Liuxi looked at her, sighed, and said: “From now on, you should stop consuming tonics. The more you consu, the closer to death you are, and the less hope of having children you will have, because there is a term called ‘the hollow cannot be replenished’.”
Jiang Wenyan was shocked.
Lv Xiaoshan’s eyes widened, trembling with rage, “What are you, why are you so malicious?”
“You, you are too much, I have no grudges with you, how can you curse like this?” Lv Xiaoshan grabbed Jiang Wenyan’s arm, eyes reddened with anger, “Sister Jiang, if you didn’t want to see , that’s fine, but why let soone insult like this?”
“I, I didn’t!” Jiang Wenyan was completely flabbergasted, seeing her angry and trembling, then turned to Qin Liuxi, desperately signaling with her eyes, “Junior Temple Master, could you be mistaken? Lady Shan’s vital energy is so good, how could she not handle supplents?”
Wait, weren’t they just discussing the maid? How did it switch to Lv Xiaoshan taking tonics?
“How could I possibly be wrong? I am Master Buqiu from Qingping Temple, you ask her if she isn’t consuming various supplents every day?”
Jiang Wenyan felt darkness before her eyes, “Master, I might as well call you my ancestor, please, stop making it worse.”
