System: The Path of a Mortal Being Stronger Through Being a Mother
Chapter 92 My Mother is a Taoist Priest 28
Lin Miao sighed. People in ancient times were really shy. However, they were also quite cute.
Bai Erya is not a bad person by nature, otherwise she would not have hesitated to take action against Bai Lingxi in order to protect her.
After the family finished their meal, Lin Miao said to Bai: "Daughter-in-law, ask the servants to run and ask the broker to bring someone over. We will choose a servant for your brother and a maid or a woman to serve you. Ask him to bring the person over and you can choose. I have to practice during the day. Don't disturb me except for eating or important matters."
Bai was delighted: she had always heard that in officials' families, as soon as the daughter-in-law became pregnant, the mother-in-law would arrange a concubine for her son. From what her mother-in-law said, she could choose either a maid or a woman-in-law, but she would not arrange a concubine for her husband. She felt relieved.
If Lin Miao knew what she was thinking, she would have knocked her on the head. As long as she was there, there would be no such thing as her son taking a concubine.
When there are too many women, there will be too many troubles.
What’s more, it’s one man against several women.
Only men like this kind of thing.
...
It was a quiet night, and there were no pedestrians on the road except for the patrolling soldiers.
Occasionally, there are people traveling, but they are like shadows, flashing by.
The curfew and restrictions are imposed on ordinary people.
Lin Miao, wearing a black and red brocade Taoist robe with gold threads, floated down the street like smoke.
Her body shape and speed, which were already different from others, became even more elusive after her progress in cultivation.
The soldiers patrolling the streets felt a gust of cold wind blowing past them: "Oh my god! It's almost the end of the first month of the lunar year, and it's still so cold."
The people next to him blinked and didn't notice.
Lin Miao stood outside the circus troupe where Zhang Lai Jin had worked for many years.
This is a bungalow, but it is well built, with red bricks and green tiles, and it looks almost as good as those of ordinary wealthy families.
She found the room with the best location and listened to the sounds inside.
Mr. Xia has been anxious and angry since yesterday.
Zhang Minzhi was taken away by the nobleman, who gave him 1000 taels of silver.
Over the years, how much extra money has he earned because of Zhang Minzhi's beautiful looks!
If the nobleman's status was not too high, he would not dare to offend him, and he would not be willing to give Zhang Minzhi even for one thousand taels.
As long as he is around, there will be noble people rewarding him. He will never do anything to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.
But this time, he couldn't hold on any longer.
Around noon today, the nobleman sent someone to tell him that Zhang Minzhi was missing.
Ask him for someone...
He cursed in his heart and was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
Lin Miao looked at the middle-aged man walking back and forth inside. According to Minzhi's description, he looked like the owner of the Xia group.
She pushed the door open.
Master Xia was startled when he heard the voice.
When he turned around, he saw that it was a masked female Taoist priest. He was not afraid of these people.
He frowned and shouted, "How dare you, Taoist woman, break into a private residence so rudely. Get out of here now, or I will punish you with a stick."
Lin Miao looked at his bluffing and said coldly, "Are you the boss of the Xia team?"
When Master Xia saw a female Taoist priestess, he relaxed his guard and shouted, "So what? If you don't leave, I'll call for help."
Lin Miao threw a sound-blocking talisman casually and stuck it on the door. She didn't have the ability to draw a talisman to block the whole house, so this one could only block the doors and windows, but it was enough.
She floated over like a ghost and grabbed Boss Xia's neck: "Do you know Sharon Chang?"
Although she could see that this person had a lot of sins committed, she still had to ask clearly, because the more a person practices cultivation, the more they care about cause and effect.
If you kill for revenge, heaven will not care about you, but if you kill innocent people at will, you may attract thunder from heaven.
Even if there is no heavenly thunder, one's mind will still be unstable.
Master Xia thought: Is this the person sent by that noble person to deal with me?
Do I know too much?
Now that Zhang Minzhi is missing again, are you afraid that I will tell others about this and want to silence me?
His mind raced, and he quickly distanced himself from the matter: "Master, please spare my life. I have no relationship with Zhang Minzhi. I broke his leg that year."
"He's missing. It really has nothing to do with me. From now on, I will keep my mouth shut and pretend that this person never existed..."
Lin Miao didn't look at his tears and snot, she only heard those words: He was the one who broke Zhang Minzhi's leg.
Her eyes were about to burst: "You are looking for death..."
A man rushed in from outside and was hit by something flying. He grabbed it and ran away after crying "Oh my god"...
Lin Miao ignored the man and attacked the Boss Xia with his knife. As he cut, he shouted, "You broke a child's leg and refused to treat him. Do you know how much pain the child felt?"
"His wound healed and rotted again, healed and rotted again, but you did it..."
"What's the point of living for a beast like you?..."
Lin Miao cut Boss Xia's body all over with her knife.
Seeing that begging for mercy was useless, the leader of the Xia team kept cursing and howling.
Lin Miao thought it was almost done. If she continued cutting, the man would bleed to death. Wouldn't that be too easy for him?
She crushed the man's legs and arms and cut off his tongue.
Finally, medicine was applied on his wound.
Let him live. He will rot for 49 days before he dies. I hope he is a man.
Lin Miao was about to leave the house when she came back and started searching.
This beast did all these evil things, wasn't it just for money?
She cleared out all the valuables.
He also found out all the house deeds and land deeds in the hands of Class Leader Xia, as well as the indentures of the people in the class, and walked out the door.
She heard the nervous breathing in each room: Humph, it seems that the person just now spread the information quickly.
She threw the deed into the room with the most people: "These are all for you."
Having said that, he did not stay any longer and disappeared without a trace.
Everyone in the circus breathed a sigh of relief.
Several senior brothers and sisters, along with a few children, looked at each other in bewilderment.
After a long time, the female Taoist did not come back, only faint wailing sounds came from the owner's room.
A few people bravely looked inside through the slightly open gap in the door, and saw a bloody man with only one arm wriggling on the ground.
The eldest brother suddenly thought of the thing that was thrown on him.
It seems...it seems to be...it's really a human arm!
They waited outside for a while, and all they could hear was the indistinct wailing of people on the ground.
The neighbors in this area, from all walks of life, usually close their doors and even cover their ears when something happens at other people's homes.
Curiosity killed the cat.
The fellow disciples waited for a while before the eldest brother mustered up the courage to go in.
After a while, he ran out, retching as he ran.
Several younger ones and a larger girl hurriedly followed him.
The class leader is fierce, and usually the eldest brother, the second eldest brother, and the eldest sister protect them.
The eldest brother returned to the room and said after a long pause: "The man in the room is the class owner..."
Ah? ? ?
Looking at the several pairs of surprised eyes below, and then at the junior sister, the eldest brother sighed. Ever since the second junior brother was forcibly taken away by that noble man yesterday, the junior sister has had a blank look on her face.
He continued, "The class owner had one arm chopped off, and the other arm and both legs were broken. He was covered in wounds, and his tongue was also cut off..."
ah? ? ? ?
The eldest brother picked up the things that the Taoist nun had just thrown down and said, "Don't worry, as long as he's alive, no one will care. Once this matter is settled, we will all go to the government office to get rid of this identity. From now on, we will listen to ourselves."
The younger ones were happy to hear this, but they were still a little worried: "Big Brother, what should we do in the future?"
The eldest brother patted his head and said, "Silly boy, we have skills. Whether you want to continue to perform acrobatics or do something else, it's all up to you. There are still two small shops here. The class owner is no longer able to do it. From now on, this is the capital for us to make a living."
They are not newbies. Children from poor families have to grow up early.
A little girl asked hurriedly: "Big Brother, can we get that shop?"
The eldest brother smiled and said, "Don't worry. After a few days, when this matter is settled, we will give this house as a thank you gift. Why worry about not getting those two small shops?"
There were relaxed smiles on the faces of several people. They all understood what the eldest brother was waiting for.
They are waiting too.
……
The troupe owner bought them and hired someone to teach them skills so that they could make money for the troupe, but troupe owner Xia was a stingy person who loved to beat and scold people. They just felt happy seeing his current behavior.
Lin Miao no longer cared about the affairs of that group. She finally had some peace and quiet for a while and could practice with peace of mind.
When she has time, she will also study ways to treat Zhang Minzhi's leg, but her leg has been bad for too long, the tendons and bones have been damaged too severely, and it was badly rotten at the time, so she has no idea.
The system said there might be a way in the interstellar plane, but she hadn’t cleared that map yet, so she couldn’t buy anything in it.
However, Sharon Cheung is a very good-natured person and she doesn't mind.
Now, the days with my mother and younger brother are very leisurely. My mother also teaches him Taoism. I feel very fulfilled.
After studying very hard for a few days, Zhang Jinyan relaxed for a few days on the eve of the imperial examination and studied Taoism with his brother and mother.
After all, the two brothers were smart people. They quickly figured out the trick and were able to draw the energy into their bodies.
Lin Miao couldn't help but sigh, comparing yourself with others will only make you angry.
How many people have white hair and still cannot enter the Tao. Some people are blessed by nature, and even if their fate is rough, they are still favored by God.
Zhang Jinyan did well in the imperial examination and ranked sixth.
The house was filled with joy and the servants were happy from the bottom of their hearts. The better the master was, the better they would be. They were just people who had no choice.
The plaque on the door reads "Lin's House", indicating the owner's surname.
The house is also under Lin Miao's name.
Zhang Jinyan has participated in two poetry competitions in the past few days and has a rough idea in his mind. He will prepare for the palace examination tomorrow.
Seeing the gloomy-looking Emperor, Zhang Jinyan was a little excited, but thinking of his mother's instructions, he calmed down and focused on his work.
......
Zhang Jinyan was awarded the title of Tanhua because of his excellent academic performance and outstanding talent.
On the day of praising officials, Lin Miao took Zhang Minzhi and Bai Shi to a street-side location early to watch Zhang Jinyan's highlight moment, but she didn't know that this time, she was seen by someone with ulterior motives.
