Transmigration: Becoming the Wicked Stepmother of Four Children

Chapter 96 Young Master Mu, what brings you here?

At night, after Shuang'er fell asleep,

Lin Yunlan finally asked Lu Qingqing the question that had been puzzling her:

"Qingqing,

How did you know the rice was in the village chief's backyard?

Lu Qingqing didn't answer but asked a question instead:

Do you believe in supernatural forces and superstitions?

Lin Yunlan paused for a moment and then said:

"I cannot judge matters of supernatural powers and mysticism."

But I believe that the people of the world,

There's always an opportunity that belongs to you alone.

We should respect, not erase.

When Lu Qingqing heard Lin Yunlan say this,

I wanted to tell him directly that I could understand what Dian Dian and Dou Dou were saying.

But after much consideration, she...

I feel it's not the right time yet.

Then he made up another reason.

Lu Qingqing coughed lightly and said:

Yunlan,

Actually, it was when we went to Zhangjia Village today...

I coaxed Diandian and DouDou to play.

I overheard people whispering.

It was mentioned that several people from their village, carrying several bags, followed the village chief to his house in the early hours of the morning.

They didn't know what was going on either, they just found it strange.

Then Dot and Bean led us to the village chief's house.

That's when I realized that the village chief must be a rice thief.

It was quite a coincidence, but luckily it was his house.

Otherwise, what if they arrested the wrong person?

"Then we're in trouble today."

Lin Yunlan breathed a long sigh of relief:

"So that's how it is. Luckily, everything went smoothly."

This can be considered a blessing in disguise.

This revealed a clue to our situation.

Lu Qingqing sighed:

"Yes, we owe a lot to Diandian and Doudou this time."

They're very clever.

Lin Yunlan nodded with a smile:

"Um,

"How could you be so sure back then that the village chief stole the rice?"

Lu Qingqing blinked:

"It was intuition, plus the circumstances at the time."

All signs point to him.

Lin Yunlan held Lu Qingqing's hand:

"Regardless, we were able to recover the rice this time."

You deserve a lot of credit.

Lu Qingqing responded with a big smile.

Although Lin Yunlan still had doubts in his heart,

But I didn't press them for more information.

The next day, everything was as usual.

After Lin Yunlan and the others left with the herbal tea,

Lu Qingqing continued to teach Shuang'er to read medical books and identify herbs.

Shuang'er sat at the table,

The little heads were very close together.

A pair of big eyes were intently focused on the book.

Lu Qingqing explained patiently, her voice soft and clear.

"Shuang'er, do you remember what this herb looks like?"

Lu Qingqing pointed to an illustration in a medical book and asked.

Shuang'er nodded vigorously and answered confidently:

"I'll remember, Mother!"

Lu Qingqing smiled and began to test Shuang'er:

"Then let's test Shuang'er."

The herbs I taught you before,

Describe their characteristics to your mother.

Shuang'er straightened her little body, her eyes sparkling.

Now, let's start answering seriously:

"mother,

You mean plantain?

Are dandelion and honeysuckle correct?

The leaves of plantain are oval-shaped.

The leaves have obvious veins;

Dandelion flowers are yellow.

It will turn into a small umbrella and fly away when the wind blows;

Honeysuckle is yellow and white, with long vines.

Upon hearing Shuang'er's reply, Lu Qingqing

Her eyes were filled with surprise, and she continued to ask:

"And what are their effects?"

Shuang'er thought for a moment and said:

"Plantain can clear heat and promote urination."

Dandelion can clear heat and detoxify.

Honeysuckle can dispel wind-heat.

"Mother, is Shuang'er right?"

Lu Qingqing patted Shuang'er's head with satisfaction:

"Our Shuang'er is so smart, she got them all right!"

Shuang'er smiled sweetly:

"Thank you, Mother!"

The mother and daughter were chatting and laughing happily.

A voice came from outside:

"Is Madam Lu home?"

Lu Qingqing stepped out of the room and saw...

It turned out that Mu Yunfei had brought Ajiu to their door.

Mu Yunfei was dressed in a blue robe.

His handsome face carried a gentle smile.

Ajiu followed behind him, carrying some gifts in her hands.

Her face was beaming with a lively smile.

Lu Qingqing was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said:

"Young Master Mu, what brings you here?"

Mu Yunfei smiled and cupped his hands in a respectful gesture:

"Madam Lu, I was fortunate enough to be saved by you the other day."

Yunfei was extremely grateful.

I've come today specifically to express my gratitude.

Lu Qingqing quickly said:

"Young Master Mu, you flatter me. It was nothing more than a small favor."

You don't need to worry about it, besides.

Last time I ate at Fuhai Restaurant,

"It was you, Young Master Mu, who paid for it."

Mu Yunfei laughed heartily:

"That was just a meal."

How can this be compared to this matter?

"The life-saving grace of Madam Lu cannot be repaid with mere silver."

Lu Qingqing smiled and said:

"Young Master Mu, you are truly a man of great loyalty and righteousness,"

Mu Yunfei's expression was sincere:

"Madam Lu is kind-hearted; it's just a small favor for you."

But it was a great favor to me.

"If it weren't for you, Yunfei truly doesn't know if he would still be alive today."

Lu Qingqing gently shook her head:

"Young Master Mu, you are too kind. Please come inside and have a seat."

After Mu Yunfei followed Lu Qingqing into the house and sat down, he said:

"Madam Lu, this is a small token of Yunfei's appreciation."

I hope you will accept this.

As he spoke, Ajiu immediately presented the gift box.

Lu Qingqing glanced at the gift box and declined:

"Young Master Mu, there's really no need for this."

I am very happy that you could come.

Mu Yunfei insisted:

"Madam Lu, please don't refuse."

Otherwise, Yunfei would find it difficult to feel at ease.

Helpless, Lu Qingqing could only say:

"In that case, I can only thank Young Master Mu for his kindness."

Mu Yunfei looked around the room.

I didn't see the child I met at the restaurant last time.

But then I saw a little girl intently reading a medical book.

He couldn't help but ask curiously:

"Madam Lu, who is this young lady?"

Lu Qingqing smiled and replied:

"This is my little girl, Shuang'er."

He is the youngest child in our family.

He usually enjoys learning about herbs from me.

Read some medical books.

Then Lu Qingqing said to Shuang'er:

"Shuang'er, come and greet Uncle Mu."

Shuang'er put down the medical book in her hand.

She obediently walked up to Mu Yunfei and bowed.

She said sweetly:

"Hello, Uncle Mu."

Mu Yunfei responded with a smile:

"Hello, Miss Shuang'er, you are such a well-behaved and sensible child."

Then, Mu Yunfei took out one hundred taels of silver from his pocket.

I gave it to Shuang'er as a gift when we first met, and I also promised Shuang'er...

If you want to learn about medicinal herbs, you can go to Baohetang anytime.

There are many kinds of medicinal herbs there.

Lu Qingqing hurriedly said:

"Young Master Mu, this silver is absolutely unacceptable."

You could send Shuang'er to Baohetang to learn about medicinal herbs.

That's already an immense blessing.

Mu Yunfei said with a smile:

"Madam Lu,"

This money is a small token of my appreciation for Shuang'er.

Please don't refuse anymore.

Shuang'er is intelligent and eager to learn.

They will surely achieve great things in the future.

Shuang'er blinked her big eyes and said:

"Uncle Mu, this is too much silver."

"Shuang'er can't be accepted."

Mu Yunfei patted Shuang'er's head and said:

"Shuang'er, be good."

Use this money to buy some books and supplies.

Study medicinal herbs thoroughly.

Seeing that Mu Yunfei was so insistent, Lu Qingqing had no choice but to say:

"Alright then, Young Master Mu,"

We will remember this kindness.

Mu Yunfei said:

"Madam Lu, you needn't be so polite."

I believe Shuang'er will definitely be skilled in the field of medicinal herbs.

Lu Qingqing said gratefully:

"Thank you for your appreciation and kindness, Young Master Mu."

Mu Yunfei waved his hand:

"Madam Lu, you flatter me. Madam Lu has such medical skills..."

It is an honor to get to know you all.

Afterwards, Mu Yunfei and Lu Qingqing chatted for a few more minutes.

So they took Ajiu back with them.

On the way back, Ajiu asked Mu Yunfei, puzzled:

"Your Highness, why didn't you ask about that young master?"

Mu Yunfei replied:

"There is plenty of time in the future, so there is no need to rush."

Ajiu scratched his head:

"Your Highness, I don't quite understand."

Mu Yunfei glanced at Ajiu and said:

Some things can't be rushed; the time isn't right yet.

Ah Jiu nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

"Oh, I see."

"Your Highness has thought things through very well."

Mu Yunfei smiled slightly and then said nothing more.
