Chapter 52: The Blood Witch's Death

Xu Chunhua's face was full of confidence at this time.

She wasn't worried at all that Xu's father would see through her lie.

She knew that as long as she helped Xuan Jiuqing find the Blood Witch's relics, Xuan Jiuqing would definitely marry her.

I heard that the blood witch is a great witch who particularly likes to suck the blood of beautiful women in order to maintain her beauty.

Although the Blood Witch is dead, there are very likely various dangerous traps left at the place where she died.

Xu Chunhua doesn't want to take this risk.

She guessed that the reason why Xuan Jiuqing was injured was most likely because he found the place where the fake Blood Witch died and was injured by the mechanism, so he was rescued and brought home by her.

It was precisely because of the injury she suffered near Xujia Village that Xuan Jiuqing always felt that the Blood Witch died in Xujia Village.

Because Xu Chunhua clearly remembered that Xu Qiuyue was injured once before finding the place where the Blood Witch died.

It’s better to let Xu Qiuyue find such a dangerous place.

What Xu Chunhua didn't know was that Xuan Jiuqing was injured by the prince's men.

Xu Qiuyue was injured by Xuan Jiuqing's enemy.

No one knew the real place where the Blood Witch died, Xuan Jiuqing just lied that it was in Wangjia Village.

Because no one has found the place where the Blood Witch died, and Xu Qiuyue's spiritual spring water is very similar to the legendary treasure of the Blood Witch, and has the same effect.

So Xuan Jiuqing lied and presented Xu Qiuyue's spiritual spring water to the emperor.

Because Xuan Jiuqing stayed in Taohua Town for several years, but he still couldn't find the place where the Blood Witch died.

He felt that no one would be able to find it.

Just forge one yourself.

All the news Xu Chunhua heard was processed.

Xu Qiuyue knew the truth, but she didn't want to get involved in these grudges again in her life.

Because of Xuan Jiuqing's arrival, the food of Lu's father and mother improved a lot.

Lu Yuan returned to his daily routine of going out to do business.

I just come back every day for a meal.

He ate in Xu Qiuyue's courtyard, not with Lu's father and mother.

Father Lu originally wanted to talk to Lu Yuan, so he could continue to eat boiled radish and let Lu Yuan study hard at home.

But he was stopped by Lu's mother.

Father Lu thought about it and decided that Lu Yuan was just pretending and might not be able to pass the exam to gain any honor.

Besides, Xuan Jiuqing is still here, so it would be bad if outsiders laughed at us.

Father Lu doesn't want to get involved in the fight for the throne.

He was lukewarm towards Xuan Jiuqing.

But Xuan Jiuqing really wanted to win over Lu's father.

At this time, Xuan Jiuqing was at the lowest point in his life. He was despised by the emperor and had no real power in his hands.

If he hadn't said that he wanted to find the Blood Witch's Fountain of Youth for His Majesty.

Basically, I can only retire in Beijing.

His Majesty also knew that the Blood Witch had a very bad reputation, so Xuan Jiuqing's apparent reason was to repay a favor.

When he was in Xujia Village, he was taken care of by many villagers and wanted to build a new house for all the villagers in Xujia Village.

This reason is very legitimate, and it can also be used as a legitimate reason to search these people's houses.

It’s a pity that Xuan Jiuqing doesn’t have enough money, so he needs to win over Lu Yuan.

Xuan Jiuqing lived in Lu's mansion on purpose. First, he wanted to win over Lu's father. Lu's father had an excellent reputation and was backed by the lineage of the King of Zhennan.

The second is to win over Lu Yuan and use Lu Yuan’s money.

Lu Yuan also knew what Xuan Jiuqing was thinking, so he left early and spread the news that he had no money and was bankrupt everywhere.

Basically, I wait until Xuan Jiuqing leaves before going home.

Lu Yuan has money, but he doesn't want to give it to Xuan Jiuqing. Giving timely help may seem warm, but what if it's just a waste of money and never comes back?
Moreover, the prince is in the limelight at the moment. If you give him money, it would be bad if you offend him.

He is not so stupid as to spend money to buy enemies, especially enemies he cannot afford to offend.

…………

The June wind slowly started to blow.

The May wind gradually fades away.

Xu Qiuyue grows many out-of-season vegetables in her space.

Xu Qiuyue said that all these foods were given by Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan thought that Xu Qiuyue bought the food on the black market, so he announced to the public that although he was penniless, he could not let his wife suffer, so he bought all the food.

Father Lu knew Lu Yuan's personality, and he knew that it must be Lu Yuan himself who wanted to eat.

I just used the excuse that I bought it for Xu Qiuyue to eat.

In the eyes of Mr. Lu, Li Lu Yuan is not as good as before. In the past, at least he could eat whatever he wanted without lying.

He and Lu's mother always saw Lu Yuan eating the food by himself. It would have been fine if he just ate it by himself, but he would also pack up the food to take away when he went out.

He is so stingy that he is afraid of letting others eat more. It is unbearable to look at him.

Xu Qiuyue tried to explain to Lu Yuan, but no one believed her.

Xu Qiuyue now receives 500 taels of gold from Lu Yuan every month, and is now a lot richer.

Moreover, Lu Yuan would give her gold in advance at the beginning of every month.

Afraid she has no money to buy groceries.

Unlike the merchants I worked with before, who would only pay after receiving the goods, and who would keep delaying payment and had to remind me several times before I got the money.

"Madam, there is someone named Tian Chunlian who came to see you."

Chunzhu shouted to Xu Qiuyue.

Chunzhu is now extremely polite to Xu Qiuyue. In her opinion, no one can shake Xu Qiuyue's position.

Lu Yuan particularly likes Xu Qiuyue now.

Xu Qiuyue now has two new maids around her, plus her, there are three maids in total. If she wants to become Xu Qiuyue's head maid, she must show more.

Moreover, Xingzhu and Hongling were also very active. If she didn't work harder, the position of the head maid would no longer be hers.

"Let her in! By the way, if my parents look for me again, just say I'm away on a business trip and not here. The same goes for my sister."

Xu Qiuyue instructed Chunzhu.

Xu Qiuyue really didn't want to see Xu's mother and Xu's father again.

Now Xuan Jiuqing has come to Taohua Town and is living in Lu Mansion.

Xu Chunhua would definitely want to come along.

By then, maybe I'll have to try to get close to her again.

Although Xu Qiuyue has time to sit there and daydream every day, she really doesn't want to waste her time on these people.

"Qiuyue, Brother Xu has been lucky recently and has come across many mountain products. I wanted to come to you earlier, but the village has been very busy recently, and the whole village is busy repairing the road.

I also have to thank you and Young Master Lu for building a super road for the village.

It is much more convenient to come to the town now. Every household likes to come to the town if they have something to sell.

Buying things has become much more convenient as there is no need to wait for the peddler to come to the village.

Besides, the things sold by the peddler are expensive." Tian Chunlian's face was full of smiles.

It was a smile that Xu Qiuyue had never seen in her previous life.

"You guys worked so hard to fix this, why thank me for anything?"

Xu Qiuyue knew that Lu Yuan practiced it for his father.

"You can't say that. Master Lu also provides meals for us every day when we repair the road. The food is really good, and we get paid for good work. All the stones were bought by Master Lu."
