I was a stepmother in ancient times, and I led my whole family to wealth.

Chapter 315 This Emperor Was Somewhat Greedy



Chapter 315 This Emperor Was Somewhat Greedy

Ruyi, [The soup and tea water both contained spiritual energy. It's a good thing you diluted it with water; if you had given it to them directly, they would probably all level up.]

[That's why I didn't give them all, for fear they'd be overwhelmed by the spiritual energy.]

That's right.

Then she heard Cang Lingyuan issue a gag order, and everyone shut their mouths and swore they wouldn't tell anyone.

Dongfang Jin was very satisfied with his actions.

Long Yi didn't advance, but he reached the barrier to leveling up. He looked pitifully at Dongfang Jin and said, "Sister Jin."

Dongfang Jin smiled helplessly: "Quickly put away your expression. I will try my best to provide you with that water while you are staying at my house."

Everyone nodded happily when they heard her say that.

Even Cang Lingyuan cheered happily.

Prince Dun, who was also the adopted father, joined in the clamor, saying it was feasible.

Long Yi glanced at Shadow with envy; that guy was such a cunning fellow.

He was the first to drink from that pot of soup, and he also drank the most.

It was Long San who noticed his unusual behavior and took a spoonful himself, only then discovering the secret in the soup.

When the others noticed that the two of them were fighting over the soup, they found it strange and joined in the commotion, also fighting over the soup.

……

Dongfang Jin blinked her big eyes at them, secretly thinking that this was bad; these people were insatiable.

If she doesn't leave, these guys will drain her dry.

"It's getting late. The room to the south is the bathroom. The men's section is on the left and the women's section is on the right."

My cousin and father can go to their own yard; there's a small bathroom there.

Cang Lingyuan was displeased when he heard her say that: "Xiao Jin, bring me another light in your bathroom."

This girl actually put that kind of magical item in the bathroom, it really infuriated him.

He treasured the lamp she gave him back then, but she...

Dongfang Jin...

coming! coming!

She said that her eyelids kept twitching when she blinked.

He asked these people for those lamps, but who would she give them to and who wouldn't? Sigh, there probably wouldn't be enough to go around.

Ruyi said that thing couldn't be copied, and she only had three left after she divided them up.

"Alright, I have three left. I'll give you one and my father one."

Cang Lingchen joined in this time, leaning back in his chair and lazily looking at her: "Xiao Jin, your brother probably needs it the most, the candlelight is indeed dim."

He really wanted his cousin's lamp; he'd wanted it for a long time. Even though it had lost its light, he'd put it in the sun all day, and it would still light up at night.

Dongfang Jin was completely bewildered by his words, and the people sitting next to him also stared at him.

Especially Lu Yunqing, whose eyes were filled with grievance and threat.

Ruyi, [The space doesn't need that thing, since you've already taken it out.]

Then take everything off the bedside tables in the other rooms of your villa.

Dongfang Jin was puzzled. "Aren't you going to stop it?"

The Ruyi Realm has now expanded. Although it hasn't been fully exposed yet, everything here can be taken out.

Dongfang Jin was a little excited. "My toy car can drive out too?"

Ruyi said uncertainly, "It's possible, but I think you'd better not take it out."

This emperor was somewhat greedy.

【Know. 】

This emperor was indeed somewhat greedy.

Before she could speak, Changsun Lan became anxious and looked at her, asking, "Is it impossible to do?"

Dongfang Jin shook her head: "No, we don't have that material."

After she said that, no one else dared to say anything more, but their expressions of longing for the lamp were too obvious.

Changsun Lan didn't dwell on the issue and asked, "Did you give me the recipe for the Guo family's glass cups?"

Dongfang Jin did not hide anything and nodded: "That is not glass, it is crystal."

If you want one, I can give you one, but this one needs to be colored...

As for how to do it, you can go to the Guo family and ask, or you can hire one of their master chefs.

As for how to proceed, you can negotiate that yourselves.

Changsun Lan was surprised that she agreed so quickly and that there was an unexpected surprise. She nodded excitedly and said, "Don't worry, the dividends will remain the same."

Dongfang Jin held out her hand: "Okay."

Helian Shuo, holding a piece of apple skewered on a bamboo stick, approached Dongfang Jin: "Jin'er, was the 'Thousand-Mile Eye' sent to Uncle also made by the Guo family? Can we make it?"

Dongfang Jin looked at this glutton, having heard that he was the son of the Empress's older brother: "It's best to do less of that for now, but you can make bronze mirrors and magnifying glasses..."

Dongfang Jin then explained how to make bronze mirrors and magnifying glasses and the principles behind it.

Cang Lingyuan slammed his hand on the table: "This can be done. Xiao Jin, are you worried that the Thousand-Mile Eye will fall into other countries?"

I must say, that stuff is really good; it's indispensable in the military.

He remembered the first time he stood on the roof of the palace and used his telescopic vision to see everything outside the east gate.

He could see clearly what those people were doing, so it seemed that Xiao Jin's advice not to do it was just as he had guessed.

Seeing that they had all been led astray by Changsun Lan, Dongfang Jin was very pleased and gave him a thumbs up: "As expected of His Majesty."

After that, everyone chatted about this and that for a while, but still didn't bring up the lamp again.

It was quite late by the time everyone finished talking, and Princess Dun, citing her fatigue from the journey and the Empress's pregnancy, led everyone to leave one by one.

Dongfang Jin looked at her adoptive mother gratefully, wanting to hug her.

……

Dongfang Jin nestled in her mother's arms, feeling this love. In her previous life, she rarely nestled in her mother's arms.

She must have regretted it when she found out she was dead.

Are they also like this mother, holding themselves tightly, afraid of losing them again?

She remembered Su Jinyan always saying something like this: "Everything in the world is constantly being born, growing, dying, and disappearing."

We should not wallow in sadness, but rather cheer up and face the future.

This was a quote he derived from a riddle.

The riddle is: How many people die and how many are born in a year?

They were all stunned for a while.

That guy always had that old scholar's air about him, especially when someone in the compound died.

He always said something like, "Life is just beginning, death is just beginning," a phrase so obscure and difficult to understand that it left the group speechless.

Dongfang Yuan held her and told her about her childhood. As she talked, she started crying again when she mentioned her older sister, Cang Yuyao.

She said that she and her sister had completely opposite personalities, one quiet and the other active.

Her older sister always took care of her like a little adult, and she started crying again as she spoke.

She had to comfort and coax him, as she had only just learned that Fang Jin's real name was Cang Yujin.

The name "Dongfang Jin" comes from when she was a child and, because she was playing, she dirtied her adoptive father's official robes.

Her adoptive father scolded her a few times, saying she didn't act like a girl.

From then on, she kept insisting that she should take her mother's surname instead of her father's, and she even named herself "Dongfang Jin".

From then on, she told her family that her name would be Dongfang Jin.

The mother said all this in an attempt to help her retain memories, but somehow, those fleeting images that had crossed her mind before also disappeared.

Ruyi's saying could mean the Ruyi Realm has expanded, or it could mean that Fang Jin's obsession has completely disappeared.

Although a cloud of doubt lingered in Dongfang Jin's mind.

But the name "Dongfang Jin" is indeed her name.

Thankfully, her stepmother didn't ask her to change her name, otherwise she really wouldn't know what to say.

That night, her stepmother tormented her terribly. Oh, dear mother!

She was starting to miss Gu Chenglin; now she realized that it was actually quite nice that he was quiet.

The next morning, as the dawn broke, all things awoke, and birdsong filled the air.

Like a symphony of nature, it played a vibrant morning song.

Dewdrops shimmer on the tips of tender green leaves, like stars fallen to earth at night, each drop carrying the freshness and purity of nature.
