Gui starts acting cute, there's no end to it."I walked up to him, bent down and picked him up: "You're a little milk doll too, you have to act like one, or no one will want to spoil you!"Ji Dou Xingju...Shen Qingrui turned around and glanced at my stomach.

She walked up to me and said, "Mistress, Qing Rui has been remiss. You may first go see my old lady, then take good care of yourself and your pregnancy. Don't even manage this one thing well, and make the Emperor worry."

“He has every right to worry, after all he’s the father. How could he not be worried But you, he told the Shen family to investigate the matter of the Kongming lock, yet here you are presiding over a vegetarian banquet for the faithful… What Is your duty now to entertain the faithful on important days” I replied bluntly.

I rarely argue with people and I'm usually pretty easygoing.

But Shen Qingrui disobeyed Jiang Qiyun's order at the time, forcibly took me to the eye of the formation, causing me to suffer a hardship, and as a result, I lost the nameplate that Jiang Qiyun gave me.

I hold a grudge against her for this, not because the physical pain was that bad, but because her jealousy and desire for revenge caused me to lose something important, which I haven't been able to find yet.

The thing about temperament is that it's a give and take. If I'm firm, she can only hold back.

Even a fool understands Jiang Qiyun's attitude towards me now. Unless she wants to be confined again.

I saw a flash of resentment in her eyes, but I suppressed my anger and replied, "… That matter has been investigated by the Shen family all along. Presiding over important religious ceremonies on significant days is the main duty of the Shen family heir, so naturally, I had to attend."

"So it's like that... then work hard, don't embarrass the guests." I glanced at the two young nuns behind her.

Two little nuns looked at me in disbelief. Perhaps this was the first time they'd seen me, and they thought that I, speaking to Shen Qingrui like this, would make her angry.

But she merely let out two breaths, forcing down her anger and nodding, "There's no need for Mistress to worry, I will do well."

My brother pulled me along, leaving in a leisurely manner.

He whispered to me, “To be honest, Xiao Qiao, Jiang Qiyun has been around for so many years and only managed to refine one lotus bud into a maid to help balance the emptiness. If it weren't for seeing how much he cares for you, I might suspect he's incapable.”

I rolled my eyes. “You have to be kidding me”

"Tsk, I've already been very careful! I didn't do anything wrong. It's just one person every few weeks, and I even wear two raincoats!"

Um...a raincoat

"Why" I asked, perplexed.

"I'm scared of accidents, I definitely don't want to be a dad by surprise."

He paused for a moment, then added: "Actually, I think men like Jiang Qiyun, unless they truly fall in love with someone, wouldn't let her give birth to his child. After all, the bloodline of the Divine Lord is very noble."

In fact, many true nobles are not promiscuous. Because the noble and arrogant nature in their bones would not allow them to indulge. Those who truly indulge are probably expelled from the circle of power by strict families.

Lin Yanhuan was also an extremely self-disciplined man. Miss Lin lived a life like a caged bird, obedient and never exceeding bounds.

Therefore, Miss Lin yearns for my brother because she sees him. A man who lives so freely and has a charmingly rogueish air is indeed quite alluring.

"So, this Shen Qingru still hasn't figured it out~~" My brother stretched lazily.

I think Shen Qingrui isn't that she doesn't understand, but that she's unwilling to accept it.

She was well aware that she had been transformed into a human form only to occasionally serve Jiang Qiyun, and Jiang Qiyun would not pay much attention to her.

She felt that her relationship with Jiang Qiyun was special, and he was someone she trusted. Therefore, even when she was born into the Shen family, she already had a sense of superiority.

With the imposing aura of Shen's family as the head of Kun Dao, their circle held them in high regard, making her personality increasingly arrogant. Moreover, being human, she naturally possessed the seven emotions and six desires.

Perhaps she thought that even after completing her task and returning to the underworld after a hundred years, she could still serve Jiang Qiyun

It's a pity that I emerged. What were originally "offerings" and "tools" have now become the mistress, and I even married Jiang Qiyun in the underworld. This is set in stone and cannot be changed anymore.

It was impossible for her to return to being a maidservant as she once was.

Even if I have the best temper, I couldn't possibly allow a rival to be around my husband.

So, her unwillingness towards me was very obvious.

But it's useless to be upset now. Does she still want to use sorcery to fool me Who knows who will end up fooling who.

"This way, Mistress Mu, Miss Mu," a young Taoist boy with double buns came out to greet us.

I remember him, he was the little Taoist boy when the Shen family tested the Round Light Technique.

"You've grown so much," I said to him with a smile.

"Eh Miss Mu, do you remember me" he was a little surprised.

I nodded and reached out to touch his little head.

My brother complained, "You're really going to have a baby, aren't you You're overflowing with maternal love! You want to cuddle every kid in the neighborhood too"

I laughed and playfully pushed my brother, only to catch sight of Old Mrs. Shen standing at the main entrance, waiting for us.

We looked at each other, how come the treatment this time is so good

》》》

"The two of you are quite famous now, aren't you I heard even the people from Xiangxi have invited you to perform exorcisms" Old Mrs. Shen pushed up her reading glasses.

"I'd never seen her wearing glasses before, so I couldn't help but ask: "Auntie, are you feeling unwell"

"...Getting older, feeling dizzy and seeing things blurry is normal." She gave me a look: "Thank you for your concern."

"Auntie, our stomachs are growling. Can we eat first Little Qiao can't go hungry now." My brother was impatient with her leisurely chat and wanted to eat while talking.

"Today, there will only be vegetarian food." She motioned with her hand for her disciples to prepare the meal.

"Just eat vegetarian food then, isn't every day here a vegetarian one" My brother snorted. "I just saw Shen Qingrui strut past, humming, as if hosting a vegetarian feast is such a prestigious affair Isn't the Shen family just her left now"

Old Mrs. Shen frowned slightly, saying with a hint of helplessness: "Tell her to keep a low profile, but it's no use. Her personality has been spoiled... Alas, because everyone knew since she was little that she was sent here by the Emperor of Heaven, no one in the family dared to disobey her."

"Hmph, she doesn't know her place. She'll surely suffer the consequences sooner or later." My brother snorted coldly.

"She offended you again" Old Mrs. Shen looked at me.

"It's not an insult, but jealousy still lingers. She can't figure out—since we are born as humans, all the past events are already bygones. What needs to be forgotten should just be forgotten. It only burdens herself and the Shen family. Jiang Qiyun has been trying his best to avoid the Shen family as much as possible. As the head of the family, don't you remind her"

I was blaming Old Madam Shen too in my words, and my brother secretly gave me a thumbs up.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!l be busy and bustling. You worry more, it's not a few hours.""...Arrange it sooner, and I'll feel more at ease." I sighed.He narrowed his eyes and looked at me: "You're really willing to go all out f...
