Cowardly Stepmother Dressed As the Hero
Chapter 25:
The evidence was conclusive, and Xia Lin was justifiably imprisoned. But following the slip of shopkeepers who were involved in greed, Cao Mi had to spend energy to investigate and replace them.
Fortunately, at this time, Cao Mi also cultivated her own team. She left Dongli and Xiling in the mansion, and sent Beisi and Nanxi to take over all the shops.
After two days, Xia Lin couldn't stand it anymore and revealed all the crimes. Cao Mi finally breathed a sigh of relief—
Since the time of crossing, the knife hanging around her neck has finally been taken down. She no longer has to sleep restlessly every day, and is always on the lookout for hidden arrows that will be shot from nowhere.
On a rare sunny day, she took her three children to Linfengyuan for activities, and suddenly heard the maid mention the Hanshan Temple in the suburbs, saying that it was a good time to appreciate plums, so Cao Mi packed up and planned to bring it with her. The three children are out of the house.
In fact, she was so suffocating herself that after coming to this time and space, she hadn't even left the Bei'an Palace.
After getting ready, she and her three children got into the carriage to Hanshan Temple.
Located in the northern suburbs of the capital, Hanshan Temple is an ancient temple with a long history. After coming to the temple, she took her children to visit around. The children were also in high spirits, and they were surprised to recognize these Buddhas and Bodhisattvas who had appeared in Journey to the West.
In the afternoon, they came to the back mountain to enjoy the plums.
The plum blossoms of Hanshan Temple are well-known, but Cao Mi is rather tacky. She can't describe the spectacle of wild red plum blossoms all over the place. She only thinks that if it were to be placed in modern times, it would definitely be a punch-in place that would attract countless Internet celebrities.
The winter sun shines on the white snow, and the red plums are fragrant. Walking in the forest, I feel refreshed, happy and forgetful.
Qi Rui kept something hidden in his heart, and when they took a break in the pavilion at the back of the mountain, he stood beside Cao Mi and asked her, "Mother, can Buddha really bless our wishes come true?"
The twins were nibbling on the cakes brought by the maid from the mansion, and they looked over together when they heard the words.
Cao Mi thought about it and said, "My mother doesn't know either."
She doesn't believe in gods and Buddhas, but she is in awe of ghosts and gods, so she doesn't dare to talk nonsense.
Qi Rui tilted his head to think for a while, and then said, "But there are many people in the temple who are worshipping Buddha. If worshiping Buddha is useless, why would they do these things?"
Cao Mi smiled, recalled it for a moment, and said, "My mother doesn't know either, but I have heard a story, and it is related to worshipping Buddha, why don't I share it with you?"
The three children were all captured by her "Journey to the West". At this time, when she heard that she wanted to tell a story, they all became serious.
Cao Mi then recalled and said: "Well, the story is that there was a believer in the past, he encountered a little difficulty, so he went to the temple to worship the Bodhisattva, but when he went to the temple, he found that there was a man kneeling in front of the statue of the Bodhisattva. people.
"That person is wearing a white gauze and holding a clean bottle, and it is clearly the Guanyin Bodhisattva himself."
The three children's eyes widened, as if they didn't understand what Cao Mi meant.
Cao Mi smiled and said: "The believer is also very strange like you. Guanyin is already a Bodhisattva, why did he come to his temple to pray? So he went up to ask the reason.
"Guanyin said: Because I know, it is better to ask for others than to ask for yourself."
Before she finished speaking, she suddenly laughed.
There are many inspirational chicken soups on the modern Internet. She saw it as a pastime at the time, but when she thinks about it now, she can also find the reason.
The three children didn't know how much they understood. After seeing her story, they buried themselves in their own business.
Cao Mi sat for a while and was about to leave when he saw a few more people on the mountain road. The group had a face-to-face with Cao Mi, and the leading woman walked over with them.
Cao Mi knew that this was an acquaintance, and quickly searched it in his mind, and then responded with a smile.
The woman was fat, and when she entered the pavilion, she first shook her head, shaking off the falling snow on her golden hairpin, and then smiled at Cao Mi: "Yo, sister Mi, oh, no, Princess Bei'an. well."
Cao Mi stepped forward to help her up, "Auntie doesn't need to be too polite."
The person who came was really the first wife of his own uncle, the Qi family.
When the original family was in trouble, the uncle's family quickly distanced themselves from them. After the original sister married into the palace, the two families started to move around again.
After all, he is an elder, so he can't stop him directly.
The original body is cowardly, and she is almost responsive to this strong aunt. Over the years, she has been beaten by this insatiable woman.
Cao Mi recalled this person's ugly appearance, and really forced himself to smile at her.
Mrs Qi looked around and said again: "Oh, all three children are here!"
Cao Mi took the three children to his side, "Rui'er, An'er, Ran'er, come here, I've seen my uncle and grandmother."
The three children came over and saluted properly.
Over there, Mrs. Qi also pushed her youngest son Feng Rong in front of Cao Mi and the others, and introduced, "This is your little cousin. He's a little older than you, six years old."
After a few children said hello, they couldn't sit still in the pavilion and ran outside to harm Bai Xue. Cao Mi had to stay in the pavilion with his aunt Xu and Wei She.
Fortunately, after smirking at each other for a while, Mrs. Qi brought up the topic, "I heard from your uncle that the prince will be banned if he wants, right or not?"
Cao Mi froze his face and said perfunctorily, "Really?"
"You have to grow dim sum!" Qi warned: "Don't think you can go back to Bei'an to enjoy happiness. This time, the king of Bei'an is going to be sent to Liaozhou!"
"Ah? Liaozhou?" Cao Mi frowned, "Uncle is really well-informed, I haven't heard of this!"
"That's not it." Qi shi glanced at her with a half-smile, suddenly remembered something, and said, "I arranged well with you back then, but if you were stupid and listened to your sister's words and entered the palace, you don't have to do it now. To suffer this crime with a child."
Cao Mi deliberately teased her and said, "Hey, auntie, this... isn't my uncle going to promote the book? In this matter, I have to ask my uncle to take care of the prince in the court..."
Sure enough, before Cao Mi finished speaking, Mrs. Qi shook her head again and again, "Your uncle is now at a critical juncture for promotion. There is no time to take care of you.
"After all, our two families are blood relatives." Cao Mi added: "If the bones are broken and the tendons are connected, the prince will be sealed when he goes to Liaozhou, and I am afraid that my uncle will also..."
Qi Shi was shocked when he heard this, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
The two were talking when they suddenly heard a shout from outside.
They followed the sound and saw Feng Rong, the youngest son of the Qi family, sitting on the ground crying, and the three children of Cao Mi's family surrounded him, and the four seemed to be in a stalemate.
The accompanying maidservants were around them, daring not to step forward.
Seeing this, Mrs Qi immediately stopped and strode over there. She shouted as she walked quickly, "Ouch, what are you doing? Bullying your little cousin because of so many people!"
She was covered in fat, panting and pounced on the children with a grim look. Cao Mi hurriedly followed and protected the children behind her before her.
After getting closer, Cao Mi discovered that Qi's youngest son was holding a jade pendant in his hand, and the tie of the jade pendant was firmly held in his hand by Qi Rui. The second child Qi An did not know where to pick up a plum branch. At this time, he was whipping Feng Rong's arm and shouting: "Let go, let go! Otherwise I will kill you!"
He looked like a threat, but in fact Feng Rong was wearing thick clothes, so Mei Zhi was not at all lethal.
But Cao Mi still frowned and said, "An'er, stop!"
Qi An pouted and glanced at Cao Mi, and threw the dead branches in his hand, but still stood in front of Feng Rong, grinning and trying to scare him.
After Qi's arrival, Feng Rong's arrogance became even more arrogant. He stopped howling and said angrily to Qi Rui, "Let go!"
Qi Rui said with a cold face, "This jade pendant is not yours, but Qi Ran's."
The third child timidly shrank behind Qi Rui, when he heard the words, his head popped up, "It's mine!"
"Then give it to me! I like it, you have to give it to me!" Feng Rong shouted confidently.
"Why should I give it to you!" Little Fatty was not afraid at all, and shouted back loudly, "I won't give it to you!"
Talking and saying nothing, grabbing and grabbing, Feng Rong cried to Mrs. Qi who came to support him: "Mother, mother! I want this! I want this! Let him let go!"
Mrs Qi was protecting the child, turned her head and taught Cao Mi a lesson: "Oh, sister Mi, as an elder, I have to talk about you well, why is the Bei'an palace so stingy? Wouldn't you give me a jade pendant? Feng Rong is only six years old, he is just a child, but he can't be bullied like this."
Cao Mi watched her turn the black into the white, but he didn't smile and said, "What my aunt taught me. But Feng Rong is the children's cousin after all, so how could he rob the juniors for jade pendants?"
Qi Shi obviously choked for a while, and after regaining his senses, he said angrily: "What do you mean, you give it to him, what's wrong with a broken jade pendant, tell them to let go!"
Cao Mi shook his head, "This jade pendant is not mine, and Cairan said earlier, if you don't give it, it's too much to give. Please ask your aunt to let Feng Rong let go."
Qi was a little surprised.
In her impression, Cao Mi was a woman who knew how to show weakness after a little threat, which was very different from those who were now arguing with her.
But she didn't have time to think about it. On the other hand, Qi Rui took advantage of Feng Rong's distraction to take back the jade pendant. Feng Rong reacted and lay down on the ground and rolled around in anger.
Cao Mi hurriedly took a few children to step back, so as not to be affected by him.
Qi Shi had to turn his attention to Feng Rong and persuaded: "Oh, little ancestor, you get up first. Isn't it just a broken jade pendant, it doesn't look good, what is there to worry about? Get up quickly, mother. I will take you to Linlang Pawnshop to pick a new one."
Feng Rong heard that his crying was getting quieter, and he was about to be persuaded. Qi Ran suddenly stuck his head out from behind Cao Mi and retorted loudly, "This is not an ordinary jade pendant, it's a 'Somersault Cloud', where is it? You can't buy better!"
Cao Mi told the story of Sun Wukong's acquisition of the somersault cloud, and once sketched the appearance of the somersault cloud on paper.
The pattern was very simple, and he liked it very much, so Cao Mi found a piece of raw jade mixed with yellow and white, and asked the jade craftsman in the house to carve the appearance of a somersault cloud.
Since then, Qi Ran has to wear this "somersault cloud" wherever she goes.
His voice was incredible, and Feng Rong, who was about to calm down, rolled even more.
The author has something to say: I will enter V tomorrow, there will be a 4D update and red envelopes will drop, thank you for supporting the genuine version!
