Reborn as a beautiful little lucky star

"Why did the people from Xianjian Villa come to the clinic?"

The old lady's mind raced, and from the anxious expressions of the two young men in white, she roughly guessed their purpose.

"This is it."

The young man was a little embarrassed: "I don't know, and I dare not say it even if I know. In the northern border, Xianjian Villa is the overlord of the ice field. Its power is so great that it is almost like a local emperor. When the county magistrate sees it, he has to tuck his tail between his legs and pretend to be a grandson."

"Don't blame me, little brother. I was rude."

The old lady pretended to be frightened, but her mind was very active and she made a decision in an instant.

Xianjian Villa is the overlord of the Northern Frontier. We can only be friendly with it and cannot do evil.

It would be even better if I could make friends with his disciples and pave the way for the future of my grandchildren.

Under the wintersweet tree in the inner courtyard of Huichun Hall, the scene that Mu Xueyan had foreseen was playing out.

What the two young men in white said to the shopkeeper was exactly the same as what she had seen before, not a single word different.

The shopkeeper put on a smile, but he felt sad and scared, fearing that he would anger the two nobles and lose his life.

The old lady was an eighth-level warrior with sharp eyes and ears. When she heard the words "Ice Soul Cold Lotus", she paused and subconsciously glanced at her little granddaughter.

"whee."

Mu Xueyan rolled her bright black eyes and smiled slyly.

The grandfather and grandson looked at each other and saw a tacit understanding in each other's eyes.

A moment later, the two young men in white were overjoyed when they heard that the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren happened to have the Ice Soul Cold Lotus.

Then, he was shocked again when he heard the sky-high price of 50,000 taels of silver.

"Old man."

The tall young man, Ji Feiyang, bowed to the old lady and tried to communicate with her: "Please forgive my rudeness. My two brothers and I left in a hurry and did not bring so much silver. My sister was seriously injured and is waiting for Bingpo Hanlian to save her life. I am ashamed. Can you please allow us to take Hanlian back first? The silver owed to you will be delivered to you within ten days together with the thank-you gift."

"Amitabha."

The old lady sat upright on the armchair, the dragon-headed cane in her hand replaced with Buddhist beads, her face was kind, and she chanted a Buddhist mantra: "The Buddha said that saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Since you two are eager to save people, I will make a good relationship with you and agree to your request. The Ice Soul Cold Lotus is worth 30,000 taels of silver. You can take it away after paying 5,000 taels in advance."

"Thank you, old man."

Ji Feiyang was extremely grateful and bowed respectfully.

Yan Liqing smiled and suggested: "Can the two young men leave a token of their love?"

"nature."

Ji Feiyang understood what was meant, reached out and pulled off the disciple token hanging around his waist, then took out five silver bills worth one thousand taels from his bosom and handed them over.

"Young man, you are worthy of being a disciple of Xianjian Villa."

Yan Liqing took the banknote and token and flattered with a smile: "You are upright and honest. I admire you."

"You are too kind, ma'am."

Ji Feiyang was confused by the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren. His ears turned red and he was embarrassed to look at her.

"Brother, let's go."

The short boy, Xu Xiujin, was worried about his junior sister's safety and quietly pulled his sleeve.

"Oh, good."

Ji Feiyang's eyes instantly regained clarity and he bowed to say goodbye.

The old lady politely returned the gift and very amiably escorted the two young people, who were inexperienced in the world, out the door.

A piece of Ice Soul Cold Lotus was sold for thirty thousand taels, earning a favor from Xianjian Villa.

After watching the two fools leave, the old lady and Yan Linqing smiled knowingly and turned their gaze to the shopkeeper of Huichuntang.

The money owed by Xianjian Villa will take ten days to be delivered.

They would arrive at Qingshui County tomorrow, and redeeming themselves was urgent. They needed to continue their efforts and sell the remaining two herbs at a good price.

With the precedent of Ice Lotus, the negotiations on Blood Ginseng and Blood Ganoderma went more smoothly.

The old lady and Yan Linqing played the good and bad cops respectively, with Mu Xueyan also babbling from time to time and helping out secretly, the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren won a great victory at the negotiation table.

The hundred-year-old blood ginseng was sold for four thousand taels, and the thousand-year-old blood Ganoderma lucidum was sold for nine thousand taels.

The shopkeeper's mouth twitched in pain, but because the old lady was only a level eight warrior, he did not dare to provoke her. He could only humbly order the waiter to pay the money on the spot.

The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren left Huichun Hall contentedly, carrying 17,980 taels of silver notes and 20 taels of change.

Seeing the three people leave, the shopkeeper's face immediately changed and he ordered people to find out their identities.

When the guards came back from the inn and reported that they were family members of the Duke of Fuguo's Mansion, the shopkeeper looked at Xue Shen in a daze for a long time before he said something exactly the same as what Madam Xu said.

"The people in the Fuguo Mansion are really talented and should not be underestimated!"

It was late at night. Qin and Liu, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, were waiting at the door of the inn in the cold wind. They saw from afar that the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren had returned safely, and their hearts finally settled down.

"Old lady, you are finally back."

Liu came forward holding a lantern and took the backpack off the old lady's shoulders.

Qin took the child from her daughter-in-law and held him carefully in her arms.

Mu Xueyan had a full sleep during the day and was not sleepy at all at night. She opened her big black eyes and looked around curiously.

Qin was so delighted that she couldn't help but bend down and kiss her granddaughter's sweet and tender face.

"whee."

Mu Xueyan felt her grandmother's love and gave her a sweet smile in return.

Qin smiled dotingly: "After selling the herbs and getting some money, it's time to buy some new clothes for the children."

"Not just the kids."

The old lady looked kind and loving: "You have suffered too, buy a few new clothes for each of you and burn the old ones to get rid of the bad luck."

"We're in no rush."

Qin had her own plans: "Let's wait until we buy a house, register our household registration, and settle down before we talk about it."

"Old lady."

Liu was lively, and seeing that the old lady was in a good mood, she smiled and said, "In your opinion, should we buy a house in the county town and settle down, or buy land in the countryside and build our own house?"

"Don't ask me about this."

The more the old lady looked at her little granddaughter who brought good luck to the family, the more she liked her. She was in a good mood and joked with the younger generations: "From now on, no matter big or small matters in our family, we will listen to Sister Yan. With the little lucky star here, I, an old man, can step down and let others take over."

"whee."

Mu Xueyan was delighted to hear this and kicked her short legs happily.

"Mrs. Yan, my wife wants you to come over and talk to her for a while."

Xu Jie's maid, Xiang Ming, was waiting in the inn. When she saw the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law coming in talking and laughing, she quickly walked over to greet them.

Yan Liqing looked surprised: "Is Madam Xu still awake?"

"No."

Xiang Ming shook her head sadly: "Madam is in a bad mood and can't sleep."

"Go ahead."

Qin and the others also knew about the concubine and felt sympathy for Madam Xu: "Please persuade her more and don't let her get stuck in a dead end and hurt herself for a heartless man."
