System: The Path of a Mortal Being Stronger Through Being a Mother

Zhang Jinyan rode a tall horse and followed the team of officials.

The shops along the street are doing brisk business today.

At this time, men and women don't have to be too cautious.

The young girls and wives all covered their faces and looked at the handsome young scholars in the team.

Lin Miao was also admiring the crowd below. It must be said that quite a few of the Jinshi candidates had outstanding looks and were worth seeing.

She secretly glanced at Sharon Cheung and saw that he was smiling, with a flash of bitterness and pride in his eyes.

Zhang Minzhi felt regretful, but he was also proud of his brother.

Lin Miao hated Zhang Erzhuang and Qiu even more in her heart. She thought she was too kind to them.

A fierce look flashed across her eyes.

After the team of officials passed by, the road was littered with copper coins, handkerchiefs, and hair ornaments...

Many children followed behind with a smile on their faces, picking up the good ones. When they found the good ones, they gave them to their parents who were following them.

Some people who are lucky enough can even pick up small silver coins.

It is said that if girls' things hit these newly-appointed scholars, they will be able to find a good husband with literary talent, and if young wives' things hit them, the child they give birth to will be the star of literature.

Seeing that the crowd was gradually dispersing, Lin Miao took Zhang Minzhi out.

Zhang Minzhi's servant led the way in front, followed by Bai and the nanny.

I thought they were just going to see their own family's scenery, but I didn't expect that a pair of eyes were secretly staring at them, as if thinking about something.

The man thought for a moment and beckoned a guard over: "Go, follow the family pushing the chair and find out what's going on."

The guard saluted and quickly disappeared into the crowd.

Because they were in a busy city, Lin Miao was in a relaxed mood.

So much so that she didn't notice someone falling far away.

Several people returned home quickly.

The whole family went back, celebrated happily, and prepared to return home in a few days.

Let’s talk about the guards who followed.

He looked at the famous haunted house in front of him, with the two words on it: Lin's House, and fell into deep thought.

This... He was also a little scared of this place.

Those who went in and died there, it’s all true.

Although he was a little afraid, he would definitely be punished if he went back like this, as his master was not a good-tempered person.

After thinking about it, the guard decided to go in and find out what was going on.

He found the back of the house where people could not see him.

The wall is two meters high, which is no problem for a man like him with great martial arts skills.

He leaped up, feeling certain that he would land in the garden behind.

There was just a "bang" sound, as if he hit something. He was not hurt, but he was caught off guard and fell headfirst.

Fortunately, he protected his face in an emergency.

Men also need to pay attention to their appearance.

The guard looked confused.

Is it because I didn’t jump high enough?

He jumped up again, "bang"...

Once again, "bang"...

The guard doubted his life.

An old man's strange voice sounded: "Kid, what are you doing?"

The guard looked back and saw a circle of passers-by surrounding him...

Lin Miao sat on the roof, looking coldly at the scene outside.

She heard it the first time the guard hit the shield.

She doesn't have the ability to set up a complete defense now, so why not set up a few more?

This idiot, it was broad daylight, even if there were not many people in the alley behind her house, it was not like there were no one passing by.

It's just that this house has a bad reputation, so people try to avoid it.

Recently, because people have been living here and coming in and out, people nearby are no longer so scared, and sometimes there are still people here.

Moreover, although the object he hit was not hard, the sound was loud and the vibration was even greater.

When the guard saw this, he covered his face and ran out, feeling extremely embarrassed. He often followed his master outside.

The guard went back to report, "Master, Zhang Minzhi has entered the famous haunted house. Someone is already living there. It's written on it, Lin's House. However, I tried to jump over the wall several times, but was blocked by something and couldn't get in at all."

Let’s not talk about the embarrassing things that happened later. Guards also have to have dignity.

His master waved him away, thoughtful.

After a while, he called his men and said, "Go and invite the Imperial Master. Tell him that I am hosting a banquet in my palace and ask him to come."

Soon it was dinner time, and this man and the national teacher Helian Yi toasted each other.

Helian Yi listened to his master's words and thought about the house.

The last person he met gave him a very dangerous feeling.

He frowned and said, "Your Highness, now is the critical moment of our affairs, why should we cause more trouble?"

Seeing that the other party wanted to say something, Helian Yi said impatiently: "Don't be nosy. When is it not good to have a man? Why do you care about one person? If the world belongs to you one day, what do you want? Who dares to resist?"

The other party was somewhat dissatisfied, but now was the time to use people. He relied on Helian Yidu and knew that this man was very evil, so he did not dare to offend him and could only nod in agreement.

......

Lin Miao guessed who wanted to explore her mansion.

She released the tracking crane.

The paper crane is the size of a thumb, and when others see it, they will just think it is a piece of paper flying in the wind.

The paper crane chased to the gate of the mansion and then flew back.

It flew to Lin Miao's ear, flapping its wings, and Lin Miao listened to its report.

This is a tool supported by her spiritual power, and only she can understand it.

The paper crane fell into Lin Miao's sleeve and went inside.

Lin Miao's lips curled up.

If she didn't seek revenge on someone, they would come to her house.

......

After a few days, Zhang Jinyan was demoted.

Editor of Hanlin Academy.

Cabinet backup.

Looking at this handsome young talent, many people said behind his back: Hey, how come such a talented young man has such a foolish mother!

Lin Miao:.....What’s wrong with me?

The housemaid who was cleaning the house looked at her expression and said carefully, "Those people said that you found a village woman for the second young master to be his wife a long time ago, which delayed him from marrying the famous lady."

After saying this, she looked around guiltily, fearing that the Second Young Master's wife might have heard her.

Lin Miao looked at the corner and gave the woman two taels of silver: "Okay, go ahead. If you hear any news in the future, just come home and report it to any master. But if you tell anyone about family matters, you'll be in trouble. Besides, the master is the master. We can't control what outsiders say, but we have to respect our family members."

The old woman quickly expressed her loyalty: "Master, rest assured, I will save it. Our family's affairs will not be exposed at all."

After saying this, she happily bowed and took her leave: This is two taels of silver. Slaves like them are bought out, and the master has no room for negotiation on how much monthly salary to give.

The average family received 100 to 200 copper coins per month. Since they came to the Lin residence, each person received 200 copper coins per month, and the manager received 500 copper coins.

The master is young, kind, and the food is good, with meat every day. I have received so much silver this time, I must be happy.

Lin Miao waved towards the corner: "Child, come here."

Bai was bringing a cup of tonic to her mother-in-law. She had learned something new today and it tasted good, so she wanted to show her filial respect to her mother-in-law and didn't want to hear such words.

She felt a little sad, and was afraid that her mother-in-law would misunderstand that she was eavesdropping, so she was very nervous.

Lin Miao pulled her to sit down and patted her shoulder: "Child, what people outside are gossiping about is none of our business. As long as you and your wife have a good relationship, we can just live our own lives. What's wrong with being a village woman? Mother is also a village woman. You are still young. Watch carefully and learn hard. You are no worse than others."

Bai Ya felt warm at heart after hearing this. Her mother-in-law felt sorry for her and said hurriedly, "Mother, from now on, you are my real mother. I will listen to you and study hard. I will not bring shame to my husband."

Lin Miao: ...I am so tired with another child.

She encouraged him, "My child, I believe in you. You are smart. Don't worry too much about that. Take good care of yourself and give me a little granddaughter."

Bai: "Mom, does it have to be a granddaughter? What if it's a grandson?"

Lin Miao: "......, grandchildren are all the same."

......

The capital city at night is mysterious.

Lin Miao sat on a tree branch very close to the eldest prince's residence, as if she had merged into this dark world.

She had been sitting for a long time.

I wanted to go into the prince's palace and teach the eldest prince a lesson.

As a member of the royal family, he does not know how to protect his subjects. Instead, he only pursues pleasure and oppresses the people. No wonder, as the eldest son, he is not favored by the emperor.

However, when she saw a ghostly figure floating in, she stopped on the tree, restrained her spirit from leaking out, and remained motionless, as if she was part of the tree.

Helian Yi felt like he was being watched, and he couldn't help but look behind him.

Today he will discuss the next strategy with the eldest prince.

Nothing was found.

Am I being too suspicious?

He floated in.

After he walked away, Lin Miao released the little paper crane, whispered a few words, and let it fly away.

Helian Yi and the eldest prince discussed for a long time and finally decided on the rules.

But they didn't notice that there was a small paper crane stuck on the eaves of the window.

The paper crane is too small and its spiritual power is almost negligible, making it difficult to be discovered.

If Lin Miao followed in stealth, she was afraid that the goblin would sense the fluctuation of spiritual energy.

An hour later, Helian Yi left the Prince's Mansion.

He looked back again, but still nothing.

Lin Miao held her breath and sat on a tree branch, blending into the night.

She did not use invisibility. This kind of talisman can deceive ordinary people and people with low spiritual power, but it cannot deceive a big monster like this.

Because she restrained all her aura and spiritual power, it was easier for her to hide.

Helian Yi didn't find anything and left after a while.

Lin Miao remained motionless with her eyes closed, but the faint light in her eyes was easily noticeable.

She was thinking of going to the prince's mansion today, so she didn't wear the flashy Taoist robe, but only a black tights purchased in the system.

After another cup of tea, Helian Yi came back to check again.

This forest is some distance away from the prince's palace.

There is an open space between the forest and the prince's mansion. Anyone who wants to pass through here cannot escape the eyes of the guards.

Lin Miao originally planned to pass by in stealth, but if she hadn't discovered Helian Yi, she would have entered the prince's mansion long ago.

Helian Yi was pacing around the edge of the woods:? ?

Am I being too suspicious?
