Chapter 473 I'd seen through it all along, how embarrassing.
Chapter 473 I'd seen through it all along, how embarrassing.
Ruyi asked curiously, "Aren't you angry?"
Dongfang Jin shook her head helplessly. "My own father is helping his nephew to harm his daughter, and now he wants to drag his son-in-law down with him."
If Dad wants to play, let's play along. Dad and men are both ours.
Besides, we don't lack these things. It's better for them to handle it than for us to do it ourselves.
Think about it, if Dad says it himself, wouldn't we have to waste a few more teleportation orbs?
However, the thought of making them both feel awkward in a moment made her feel happy.
【Too. 】
[Pack more rice seeds; it seems the people at Lingyun Pavilion in Jingzhou aren't very attentive to their work.]
This will allow the Dragon Guard to investigate; as the business expands, trouble will inevitably arise.
Ruyi sighed, "Alas, it's all because of money."
That's true; nobody considers money worthless.
Nowadays, every business owned by Lingyun Pavilion is raking in money.
Manxianglou's whole fish banquet, Fumanlou's roast duck, hot pot restaurant...
Which restaurant doesn't use ingredients that bring some benefit to the local people?
……
On the mountain, Gu Chenglin looked at the Qiankun bag that suddenly appeared in his hand. Although he was startled, he also smiled.
It was his wife's style, so he decided to tease his father-in-law.
He never expected that his father-in-law, who always sided with outsiders, would drag him into this mess.
He walked up to his father-in-law, waved the Qiankun bag in front of him, and then handed it directly to him.
"What?" Cang Nanxi looked puzzled as he held the Qiankun bag.
Why would this guy give him his wallet?
Gu Chenglin shrugged: "The grain was probably sent to Jingzhou; most of what's here is rice seed."
Ever since he made a contract with that spatial jade pendant, he has been able to see what's inside any Qiankun bag in the Ruyi Realm.
Moreover, he remembered some of them, because most of the things in those Qiankun bags were packed by him and Ruyi.
Cang Nanxi: "..."
What do you mean?
He examined the Qiankun Bag repeatedly, then stepped forward and pulled Gu Chenglin aside.
His eyes held a scrutinizing look as he asked, "You mean, Xiao Jin can hear us?"
can you?
He knew that his daughter possessed abilities beyond what they had perceived.
Are these little animals really that fast at communicating? If so...
Gu Chenglin didn't speak, but just nodded to his father-in-law with a wry smile.
Because of the contract, he cannot reveal the existence of the Ruyi Realm and Ruyi.
"If she wants to know, she can know everything that happens in the entire Bright Moon Manor, or even within a hundred miles."
Let's start with a hundred li; if he said a thousand li, he was afraid it would scare his father-in-law.
However, he felt that his father-in-law was only surprised for a moment, but that fleeting "scheming" was not the real reason.
Yes, in my father-in-law's eyes... that was scheming just now.
Cang Nanxi stared wide-eyed at Gu Chenglin, his face filled with disbelief: "You mean, the entire Bright Moon Manor..."
Gu Chenglin nodded, hoping his father-in-law wouldn't have any other ideas.
Cang Nanxi's body stiffened for a long while before he finally asked, "Why didn't you say so earlier! What about the person in the shadows?"
Were all the people hiding in the shadows exposed as well?
"No one but our own people can get in." Gu Chenglin wanted to laugh at this moment, but he couldn't.
I never expected that my father-in-law had this side to him.
Upon hearing this, Cang Nanxi felt incredibly aggrieved. Was that what he meant?
She gritted her teeth, glared at Gu Chenglin, and exhaled deeply.
He shouted to the people in the shadows, "Come out, all of you."
Whatever you hide, it's right under their noses.
After all that fuss, he'd only made a fool of himself.
How frustrating!
Shame on you!
Gu Chenglin...
What do you mean?
He knew there was someone lurking in the shadows.
He assumed those people were secretly protecting his father-in-law, since the Second Prince was with him.
But when he saw the men in black emerge from the shadows, each carrying a large jar, he realized that...
He almost broke down, and now he finally understood why his wife hadn't come up the mountain with him.
She even had "Weibo" follow them up the mountain, which suggests she already knew what the people lurking in the shadows were up to.
Because this kingfisher, named "Scarf," can chat with the queen bee on the mountain.
It turns out the wife already knew those people wanted to get honey; this father-in-law is quite something.
Judging from the situation, they wanted to steal it and also wanted to drag him into it.
When Weibo saw the person who suddenly appeared, it chirped and bounced on Gu Chenglin's shoulder.
His expression seemed somewhat angry.
Gu Chenglin took out a handful of millet and reassured them, "Your master already knows, so let them handle it themselves."
Cang Nanxi walked over carrying a wooden bucket: "Are you talking to this bird?"
Gu Chenglin nodded: "It manages this area. However, I can't understand its language, but it can understand ours."
With it here, the honeybees won't attack us.
The Duke of Fuguo's secret guards could no longer contain themselves and stepped forward to bow: "Your Highness, do we no longer need to steal it?"
These bodyguards had done many shady things, but when it came to stealing, they still stole with Prince Dun.
This was the first time in their lives that they had come with the intention of being silenced after receiving the mission.
Cang Nanxi touched his nose sheepishly and pretended to cough.
Why did my brother-in-law send such an idiot? Now look what's happened, we've made a huge fool of ourselves.
He, as the father, led a group of people to steal things right under his daughter's nose.
Still bringing outsiders along—to steal...
She wanted to drag her son-in-law into the mess, but now look what happened—her own daughter had already found out.
He had been secretly practicing how to extract honey at home, but now he'd been exposed. It's all his father-in-law's fault, saying there wasn't enough honey to eat.
Sigh, it's my own fault for boasting.
Gu Chenglin pointed to the beehive indicated by the scarf and said to the guards, "Follow this kingfisher, and wait until all the bees have flown away before you go over."
These honeys are from Ruyi Realm, and Ruyi says these bees are descendants of some kind of golden bee.
The reason I had my wife bring them into the Ruyi Realm was because of their high intelligence.
Even after living in the Realm of Auspiciousness for so many years, being stung by them could be fatal.
"It's the son-in-law."
Several guards followed "Scarf" to a large beehive and saw the large bees flying out one after another.
One of the guards took a step back in fright and looked at Gu Chenglin: "Young Master... this..."
This bee is huge, more than twice the size of the bees commonly seen outside.
If they were stung, it would be fatal.
Gu Chenglin glanced at him; the man's clothes belonged to the Duke of Su's mansion.
Should we call him son-in-law?
Forget it, let them shout whatever they want, they're all relatives anyway: "So, wait until they all fly away before you go forward."
……
Ruyi, [Hahaha...I'm dying of laughter.]
Jin'er, is your father planning to take all the honey from the mountain?
Dongfang Jin stood in the incense-making workshop, glanced at the busy people, and said, "Let them do it. There are hundreds of beehives. They can only take away a dozen or so at most."
Besides, the honey in the space is indeed no longer suitable for them to eat.
If he keeps eating, not to mention anything else, just looking at him will give him away.
Birth, aging, sickness, and death—it's best for people to follow the laws of nature.
The moment Dongfang Jin uttered this idea, the entire Ruyi Realm trembled.
She didn't feel anything, but Ruyi's perception was particularly strong as she looked at the Linglong Tower, which had grown larger.
Ruyi suppressed her excitement. "Indeed, if we give them any more, it will definitely cause a huge uproar."
Although it suffered a backlash, the spiritual energy that had grown within the Ruyi Realm did not disappear.
The bees that were initially brought in here were chosen because of their high intelligence.
Now, nourished by the spiritual energy of the Ruyi Realm, most of the bees have gained sentience.
The honey here is obviously not for ordinary people to eat.
Thinking about it, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath of the rich spiritual energy. Great, the restriction was lifted.
It can now freely enter and exit the Linglong Tower again.
