The Three Spirit Stones

Inside the side hall of Cheng's house, Ah Cai looked at the five thousand taels of gold and smiled from ear to ear. She picked up this piece to look at it, picked up that piece to chew on.

"Hubby, I love you so much,"

She hugged Cheng Yu excitedly and kissed him several times.

Cheng Yu was also very happy. He was a little tired of being a third party these days. He had to go back like a thief in the middle of the night to accompany his beloved woman. Fortunately, it was over now.

He hugged Ah Cai and said with a smile, "Is it fun?"

"Fun,"

"Tomorrow I will take you to a mountain on the outskirts of the city. The scenery there is very beautiful. I just discovered this place these days."

"Okay, okay!"

"Hey, hey! Baby is so good!"

Sun Yuechan and Madam Cheng looked at the two of them showing affection as if no one was around, and their faces became increasingly darker!

Mrs. Cheng finally couldn't help it and coughed twice. Then they realized that everyone was looking at them.

Cheng Yu let go of Ah Cai embarrassedly and called her "mother".

"Shouldn't you two talk about what's going on?"

Mrs. Cheng asked,

She has been having a bad time these days.

When Sun Yuechan came back, she told her about the Daqing Palace incident. She was completely stunned.

Although he had never been satisfied with his daughter-in-law, Ah Cai, she was his benefactor's daughter, and they had lived together for so long that they had developed some feelings for her.

Her son had always treated her like a treasure, but now he suddenly said he wanted to marry someone else. That person was a princess of the Liao Kingdom. Her husband had fought many wars with the Liao Kingdom, which was a national hatred and a family feud.

At first, she didn't believe that her son would betray his wife in order to rise to a higher position. She wanted to have a good talk with her son, but he left early and came back late every day, accompanying the Liao princess every day, and refused to say anything to her, which shook Mrs. Cheng's faith.

To this day, they returned home happily with a pile of gold!

"...Um, you guys go out first."

Cheng Yu waved his hand to let the servants leave, and then told them about the double act he and Ah Cai had performed in Daqing Hall that night. Only then did Mrs. Cheng and Sun Yuechan suddenly realize what had happened.

Mrs. Cheng complained that her son had concealed the truth from her. Cheng Yu explained that there were more than 100 people in our mansion, some of whom had children and some who came to the mansion halfway. Who knew if these people had any ulterior motives? The performances of you two knowing about this matter and not knowing about it were different! Careful people can find clues, so I just kept it a secret from you. It will only take a few days anyway.

This explanation makes sense.

Ever since Cheng Yu came back, Mrs. Cheng has discovered that her son has become many times more cunning than before.

"Then why is Ah Cai's pot-throwing skills so good all of a sudden?"

Sun Yuechan asked her biggest question of the day, and Madam Cheng also looked at Cheng Yu.

"… This, um! It's Acai's father,"

Cheng Yu hesitated for a moment, looked at Madam Cheng and said, "Mom, let's tell Yuechan about Ah Cai's origins."

Mrs. Cheng nodded. She had wanted to tell Sun Yuechan for a long time, but she didn’t know how to say it.

Now that something so unreasonable has happened, I have to say it.

Then, Cheng Yu repeated to Sun Yuechan what he had said to his mother and uncle.

After hearing this, Sun Yuechan was struck by lightning. She stared at Ah Cai with eyes wide open in disbelief.

Are there really gods in this world?

Is she a descendant of gods?

This good sister who seems to be rebellious but is actually cute and silly is actually a descendant of immortals?

No wonder she has so many irrational things, no wonder her belongings are so strange, no wonder she knows so many incredible things! No wonder her mother-in-law, uncle and officials treat her like this.

Seeing Yuechan staring at her without blinking, Ah Cai couldn't help but smile and said, "Can you please stop looking at me like that? It makes me feel creepy."

"Cai, was that a spell you said at the beginning of the game?"

"Well, I guess so."

"Then show me a magic trick."

"……I won't,"

"You are a god, how could you not know it?"

"I am not a deity, I am just their descendant, different from them,"

"How is it different? It's also a fairy."

"I said no,"

For many days in a row, Yuechan stared at Acai like this, almost driving her to collapse!

……

Kou Zhun returned to the palace to report the emperor's order. He told Song Zhenzong in detail what happened that day.

Finally, he said that he had never thought that Cheng Acai could actually win, because the accurate information he had received was that her pitching skills were indeed very poor, while Yelu Yuan was a real pitching master. He couldn't understand why she won in the end?

Zhao Heng understood clearly.

Their ancestors are gods, so isn’t it easy for them to win?

Fortunately, I didn’t hastily grant the marriage before, otherwise I would have offended the gods!

Zhao Heng also made a fortune this time. Cheng Yu sent him a message asking him to buy Acai to win. He asked Chen Lin to do it. Before Kou Zhun entered the palace, Chen Lin had returned to the palace and told him that he had won several million taels this time. He was so happy that when he was thinking about how to spend the money, Kou Zhun entered the palace.

"Sir, I have a doubt, please help me solve it."

"My dear, please speak,"

"Why is the emperor so indulgent towards Lady Hua Ning Zuo? She roared in the hall and behaved erratically, why didn't he let the palace warriors arrest her and punish her?"

Zhao Heng thought, punish her? Will her ancestors let me go? I have to find a reasonable reason, otherwise she will hold me accountable.

He pondered for a moment and said, "Lord Kou, you should also know that Cheng Acai's father was the savior of the Loyal and Brave Marquis. Before he died, he told him to treat his daughter well. If I embarrass her, wouldn't that be the same as embarrassing Lord Cheng?"

"The potatoes and sweet potatoes that Mr. Cheng brought back were brought back from his hometown. He should remember the kindness for a thousand years. Cheng Acai was just acting like a child. Do the king and his subjects in the same palace have to compete with a child? Isn't this too petty?"

When Kou Zhun heard this, he thought, the emperor has a point! He is just a child, why would you argue with him?

He regretted and said, "I am ashamed. Your Majesty is kind and generous. I am ashamed to be inferior to you."

"Hey, my dear, why do you say that? You just didn't think of it for a moment."

The emperor and his minister were polite to each other for a while, and then Kou Zhun said goodbye and left.

……

……

In Cheng Yu's small courtyard, Guan Dadang was greeting him respectfully. He was here to give him some silver notes.

Compared with these, the five thousand taels of gold that Acai won was just a drop in the bucket. Five thousand taels of gold was equivalent to about fifty thousand taels of silver, but Cheng Yu won more than three million taels of silver with this vote.

He secretly asked Guan Dadang to open a gambling house and be the banker, and also asked him to secretly buy Acai to win from other bookmakers.

Ah Cai's bizarre deeds had long been known to people, and now that they had been dug up again, they had immediately become known to almost everyone, so the odds this time were so high.

Sun Yuechan's eyes sparkled when she took over the big box of Huitongtianxia banknotes. She had been mad at Cheng Yu these days, but now she was so excited that she wanted to kiss him on the face.

Guan Da Dangjia was also very happy. He made a lot of money this time. He had always been afraid of Cheng Yu. Now that he had made so much money by helping him, he felt that this evil star also had a good side.

At this time, the atmosphere in the hall was very lively. Ah Cai was describing the scene in Daqing Hall to Guan Dadang in vivid detail.

"Lao Guan,"

She always called Guan Dadang the boss and said, "Do you know how wonderful my acting was at that time?"

"When he said he wanted to marry that woman, my eyes immediately turned red. I'll act it out for you."

"… You really did lie to me, you really did lie to me?"

She pointed at Cheng Yu, who was in a state of confusion between laughter and tears, and performed once, then asked, "How is it, Lao Guan? Is my facial expression on point?"

Guan Da Dangjia immediately showed an expression of astonishment.

"…It's amazing! Madam, you portrayed the expression of a woman who is about to be abandoned by her husband…the feeling of wanting to cry but not having tears, the indignation in her heart, the sadness and pain, vividly. If I were there at the time, I would definitely feel extremely sad for you, Madam."

When Ah Cai heard this, she slapped her thigh and said excitedly, "Lao Guan, you really do understand art. You have much better vision than my previous art teacher. When I signed up to perform in a drama, she actually rejected me because she said I had no talent. She doesn't even know what she lost? A future artistic genius!"

...artistic genius?

Everyone looked at her with strange expressions, and she continued, "I think I have artistic talent. I like singing, acting, and writing scripts and directing. It's a pity that I'm too busy, otherwise I would write a book called The Legend of the Condor Heroes, and I would play the heroine Rong'er, and you, Lao Guan, would be the hero Jing Gege."

Cheng Yu couldn't help it, he burst out laughing, and asked while laughing, "Why is it Lao Guan who plays Brother Jing instead of me?"

"You are so handsome, Brother Jing is very honest, Lao Guan is also an honest man, and you are not professional and you laugh easily."

"Ha~ha~ Lao Guan is an honest man? Haha, but he's so fat, it doesn't fit the image!"

Cheng Yu laughed so hard that he held his stomach.

"You can lose weight! Just lose two-thirds of it, and I think you are better at playing Yang Kang, because Yang Kang is handsome."

"But he's a villain!"

"The villain suits you. You are cunning and sly."
