Chapter 54: Sister-in-law, Don't You Know What's Happening Across the Street?

Jiang Caiyuan was absolutely furious at Wen Zongfu's deliberate attempt to keep his distance. Anyone with a shred of social competence, having heard her put it that way, would have offered to take her over to take a look, and surely ended up courteously gifting her one.

And yet, what did Wen Zongfu do? He actually told her to go take a look by herself, and even suggested telling people she was the boss's wife's cousin? Wasn't that blatantly trying to take advantage of connections?

What Wen Zongfu was actually thinking inside was: Isn't saying something like that precisely trying to take advantage?

......

These remarks, one after another, left Lily completely at a loss for how to respond. She knew the truth herself, yet she could not speak it aloud.

"Didn't you want to sleep on the bed? I'll let you have it." He set me down, leaped onto the daybed, and flopped straight onto it.

"Not quite. It's just that this humble concubine suddenly recalled that ever since entering the estate, I have never managed to pay my respects to Mother on time. Since my health has fully recovered over the past couple of days, it is only proper that I rise early and pay my respects to Mother punctually," Ye Junyi said in a soft, gentle voice.

"Since your diagnosis aligns with Doctor Zhao's, it appears Zhao Shouyi's medical skills are passable. Furthermore, as he has always been the one attending to Lady Mu, let him continue to be in charge of Lady Mu at the imperial temporary residence," Dowager Empress Gao declared.

Throughout the entire afternoon, she covertly inspected the managers of nearly every shop. Afterward, she instructed Yuli to arrange for a thorough background investigation on all of these managers and to have the dossiers handed over to her.

Having initially ventured out in fine spirits for a stroll, she found her mood completely ruined and her appetite killed upon overhearing such a conversation while resting in leisurely contentment. She stood up, brushed off the dust, and left the park.

"Duanliu has far too many matters to attend to and simply cannot manage them all! Besides, making some food is something your mother is still quite capable of doing..." Ever since clearing the air about her identity, although some awkwardness and estrangement remained between them when they met...

"An application for skipping grades?" Imperial Prince Hao's gaze instantly locked onto a form on Xia Weiyi's desk, and the name of the applicant turned out to be Tao Hua.

Laze, feeling somewhat guilty under Ye Liuli's piercing gaze, shyly tapped her two index fingers together.

Wave after wave of cheers, applause, and acclamations swept through the audience. It seemed the people on stage were naturally born to belong to that dazzling and brilliant stage.

After retreating, I searched around nearby for a couple of bamboo stalks. In the primeval forest, bamboo was not too difficult to find. I sharpened one end of a stalk until it was piercingly sharp. Then, I gathered a large bundle of dead grass and tied it firmly to the other bamboo stalk. Finally, finding a spot touched by sunlight, I used the principle of a convex lens along with a mineral water bottle to ignite a spark.

"Very well, since you have chosen external affairs, there is a task right now that requires you to complete it. You and Gou Sanlang will head out shortly, and he will fill you in on the specifics," Elder Lu said, casting a profound and meaningful glance at my way.

Siluan had already envisioned the scene: the Divine Martial Great Emperor acting like a lord of leisure, sitting unceremoniously right in the middle of the pool, while these dense wisps of spiritual energy rushed forward in a scramble, automatically offering themselves up for the Divine Martial Great Emperor to enjoy.

Jason walked into the ward, caught sight of Lu Yunxi, and gave her a nod. Over the past half year, the two of them had transitioned from strangers to familiar acquaintances.

It was akin to the collision of two planets, causing the earth to shake and mountains to tremble, and Gongsun Shiyun was sent flying straight out by the sheer shockwave.

A hand reached out and firmly steadied him, helping him regain his footing. Even so, the invisible pressure was still heavy enough to make breathing difficult and his entire body tense.

With so many events unfolding recently, he too felt a mild headache coming on. Without further words, he turned and walked away.

The moment Yin Baitang's voice trailed off, a glowing array materialized beneath his feet, flashing swiftly from bottom to top before instantly vanishing.

The Violent Thunder Martial Gymnasium's repeated targeting of Luo Xiu finally provoked anger from even someone as mild-tempered as him.

Feifeifeifei: I forgot to mention this morning, I bought something online and had it shipped to your address. Remember to sign for it when you get back.

The bronze lamp flickered, a terrifying blaze churning as, in an instant, bolts of divine fire pierced through the void, traversing the entire world at an unimaginably swift speed.
