Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system
Chapter 68: The City Lord's Concubine (10)
By the time Shen Yao opened her eyes after sleeping for a while, three days had passed.
For three whole days, no one came to the courtyard to disturb her.
Maybe someone had come, but Shen Yao was resting, and Ping'er, as a maid, could not make decisions on her own. What could she do when her parents, who were her elders, died early?
"So, no one called me?"
Shen Yao sat in front of the dressing table, dressing up, with Ping'er busying around beside her.
Ping'er shook her head, "Master, do you need me to fetch you other ornaments?"
The jade hairpin that had just been inserted did not match the color of the clothes and had been pulled out again.
"No, go and get busy."
Waving Ping'er away, Shen Yao looked at the beauty in the bronze mirror from afar and called out the system in his mind again.
'Host, do not disturb the system without reason. You have been crossing the line a bit these days.'
The system is unhappy and it is also very busy, so it cannot be called upon by the host at any time.
Touching her soft and smooth hair, Shen Yao said confidently, "Who am I doing this for? Fu Hengyan has been silent, what else can I do except look for you?"
The relationship between the two parties was unequal, which resulted in Shen Yao having no means to contact Fu Hengyan after they separated.
She thought that the other party would come to visit her soon after returning, but she slept for three days and there was no movement.
Shen Yao questioned whether the scent pills in the system were really useful. She couldn't wait too long. After all, Shen Zhouhai was still waiting for her ideal target, and the marriage couldn't be delayed.
'Fu Hengyan ran into some trouble, but it has now been resolved successfully.
If nothing unexpected happens, you will see some movement if you wait patiently for a few days.'
After a while, the system finally spoke, and it was rare that it was not perfunctory.
Shen Yao raised her eyebrows in surprise, "System, you even know all this?"
Sure, it seems that she still needs to push herself occasionally, otherwise she won’t know that the system has such great potential.
Sure enough, no matter whether it is a person or a leader, one cannot be too lax on weekdays.
The system did not answer Shen Yao's question and no one knew where it went.
As for Shen Yao, after making sure that the system was not fooling her, she put her mind at ease and went to the Shen family's library.
I went to Yunwu Mountain a while ago and spent most of my fortune there.
But Shen Yao was lucky. The cloud stones he collected were converted into spirit stones, which not only made up for his own consumption, but also earned him some extra money.
With these spirit stones, Shen Yao went to the library and, on the pretext of learning magic, copied some of the cheap and large spells and various mental methods in the library.
Even though Shen Yao felt a little cheated by doing this, she still had to consider her future life.
She had to prepare what needed to be done. When the time came for her to go to other mission worlds, she could test her spiritual roots and find a way to practice.
It's not that it can only be used in the world of cultivation. For Shen Yao, who has experienced being poisoned by various types of novels, spiritual energy means everything is possible.
In the following period of time, Shen Yao simply turned into a little hamster and kept stockpiling goods.
As long as the Shen family has it, no matter if it is useful or not, they will all be copied and placed in the storage bag. When the storage bag is full, it will be stored in the space.
It's similar to stacking buffs with various nesting dolls. Fortunately, it's not a problem for Shen Yao at the moment, so just stockpile it for now.
On the seventh day after Shen Yao returned home, news came from the head courtyard that her step-uncle wanted to see her.
See her?
Shen Yao confirmed with Ping'er again and again that the message had been delivered to the wrong person. Only then did she put down the travel diary she was half finishing, turned around and quickly walked to the main courtyard.
The person who greeted her this time changed from Butler Fu to Second Elder Shen Changshou.
Shen Yao: Hmm?
Shen Changshou had a strange expression on his face, and occasionally when he looked at Shen Yao there was a hint of confusion and pity in his eyes.
Pity? Could it be that it wasn't Fu Hengyan's business?
Feeling confused, Shen Yao entered the hall and saw the patriarch Shen Zhouhai sitting in the main seat, as well as the other six elders.
Shen Yao: ...It's a bit too grand. Is her problem more difficult? Why did the core members of the Shen family who had not been seen for many years show up?
"Shen Yao has met the Patriarch and the elders."
The first elder is Shen Changlu, the third elder is Shen Changyu, the fourth elder is Shen Changgong, the fifth elder is Shen Changcheng, the sixth elder is Shen Changming, and the seventh elder is Shen Changjiu.
Oh, the second elder Shen Changshou also came in behind her.
Well, except for the family ancestor Shen Changfu, everyone is here.
"Shen Yao, I asked you to come here today because it's about your marriage."
Shen Zhouhai opened his mouth, but halfway through his words, he seemed to be unable to continue.
Shen Yao looked at them calmly, and her premonition grew stronger.
Until Shen Changyu sighed and said to Shen Yao apologetically, "It's because the Shen family is incompetent that the City Lord's Mansion came to ask for marriage. Xiaoyaoer, you can only enter the City Lord's Mansion as a concubine now."
"Hmph! Third brother, in my opinion, the City Lord's Mansion is going too far. No matter how bad our Shen family is, we will never send our descendants to seek glory.
Simply, simply refuse, we"
"Nonsense!" Shen Zhouhai looked serious, glaring at the sixth elder Shen Changming who hadn't finished speaking. "After we refuse, what can we do about it? The Lin and Sun families are eyeing us covetously, and the Qianyu League and Ziyun Sect are in an ambiguous attitude. We can't ignore the lives of more than a thousand members of the Shen family."
Shen Changming stiffened his neck and refused to accept it. "Then we shouldn't let the youngsters sacrifice themselves like this. What is a concubine? She is just a maidservant with no name or status."
Shen Changjiu took over the conversation, comforting Shen Changming and Shen Zhouhai, and finally set his eyes on Shen Yao who was in deep thought, "Xiao Liu, Shen's family is sorry for you in this matter. The City Lord's Mansion has a new City Lord these days, and someone from the City Lord's Mansion came to ask for marriage, so Shen's family can only agree."
Shen Yao roughly understood some of what he heard, and turned to Shen Zhouhai and bowed, "Master, I wonder who this new city lord is?"
Shen Zhouhai said wearily, "It is said that he is the savior of the Iron Sword Sect.
His cultivation level is at the early stage of the Golden Core, his surname is Fu, and I don’t know anything else about him at this time.”
After listening to this, Shen Yao realized that this was Fu Hengyan's doing. It seemed that what the system said was right, and the other party finally came to the door.
However, even the Shen family didn’t know Fu Hengyan’s Dongzhou identity.
So what is the purpose of this person transforming himself into the Lord of Yunwu City?
While Shen Yao lowered her head in thought, others had their own ideas.
In fact, Shen Zhouhai and the others invited Shen Yao over this time with a sense of resignation.
Because no matter whether it is the Jindan cultivation or the City Lord's Mansion, they are not of a size that the Shen family can afford to offend.
People from the City Lord's Mansion came to ask for Shen Yao's hand in marriage on behalf of the City Lord, and even the head of the family, Shen Zhouhai, was reluctant to ask for a Taoist couple.
It's really weird, and also very scary.
Besides, this matter will not harm the Shen family. In fact, Shen Yao's good performance will satisfy the new city lord, and their Shen family can also gain benefits.
But it is not fair to Shen Yao. Shen Yao knows nothing, but now she is going to the City Lord's Mansion to be a concubine. It is an unexpected disaster.
Shen Yao: ...Not really, I can only say that this is exactly what she wants.
Maintaining the belief that she was happy living in the Shen family and that the guilt on these people's faces did not seem fake, Shen Yao still explained a few of her adventures in Yunwu Mountain.
"...I don't know if Shen Yao is related to Senior Fu, but I am willing to enter the City Lord's Mansion to serve City Lord Fu."
After Shen Yao finished speaking, everyone, including the head of the family Shen Zhouhai, had different expressions.
Obviously, he didn't expect Shen Yao to have such an adventure, but the person Shen Yao met was only in the Foundation Establishment Stage, so he was most likely a junior of City Lord Fu.
Well, it’s better than expected. At least Shen Yao didn’t come into the mansion for no reason.
Now that we have a reason, the next step will be easier.
Shen Yao stayed in the hall for a long time, until Shen Zhouhai settled the promised compensation, and then she left as she wished.
call
After returning to the courtyard, Shen Yao asked Ping'er to guard the door and report to her in time if anything happened. She called out the system in her mind and asked if the other party knew why Fu Hengyan would become the new lord of Yunwu City.
"Host, just know that this matter has nothing to do with you."
The system didn't say much, but from those few words, Shen Yao understood that the system did understand something.
Ah!
The reason why he played this trick on her was because he thought that she was about to enter the City Lord's Mansion and was not afraid of any setbacks, so he became more confident.
'How can it have nothing to do with me? If I live in Yunwu City for a long time, the Shen family will definitely take care of me.
If I have to leave here in a short time, then I can only rely on myself. '
Shen Yao will depend on Fu Hengyan for her livelihood in the future, so wherever Fu Hengyan is, it will have a significant impact on her.
The system was silent for a moment, "Fu Hengyan will not leave in the short term. He needs the Cloud Mist Gold Crystal to repair his own flying sword."
Shen Yao moved her fingers, "Didn't we find the Yunwu Golden Crystal in Yunwu Mountain?"
The system replied, 'Not enough', so we need to stay in Yunwu City for the time being and continue searching.
Shen Yao: ...Okay, that makes sense. I wish he can live in Yunwu City for a few more years.
Shen Yao lost interest in chatting with the system and began to think about how she would move things into her own space in the coming days.
Because she was going to become a concubine in the City Lord's Mansion, Shen Zhouhai compensated her with a lot of extra treasures.
They are all spiritual objects that are rarely seen in daily life, and the spiritual stones among them are the most common.
Shen Yao has lived in the world of cultivation for some time. She cannot say that she understands the world of cultivation 100%, but she knows about 70 to 80 percent.
If you don't take this opportunity to seek some benefits for yourself, you will be letting yourself down.
However, Shen Yao did not feel that she had been wronged.
……
"Sixth Miss, these are all the various spiritual plants and spiritual objects that the family master sent. Please take a look."
Inside the courtyard, for the sake of these things, Butler Fu chose to take charge personally.
Shen Yao was flattered by Shen's attention to the Shen family. There were indeed many spiritual objects, but due to Shen Yao's qualifications, they were not enough to cause serious damage to the Shen family.
The reason why Shen did this was more because he wanted to show his own attitude in front of Shen Yao.
After all, it was the Shen family who asked Shen Yao to do things for them. Only when Shen Yao is better off can the Shen family gain benefits from it.
"Hardworking butler"
Shen Yao smiled as she looked at the tightly closed jade box and the small and exquisite storage bag, and bowed to Butler Fu.
Butler Fu quickly dodged to the side, then turned around and took out a low-key and simple ring and handed it to Shen Yao, "This is a betrothal gift from the City Lord's Mansion."
bride price?
Shen Yao reached out to take it, and at the same time felt the spatial fluctuations coming from the ring. It was a very rare storage ring.
"Sixth Miss, the City Lord's Mansion has set a date for the wedding, the first day of June."
Butler Fu looked at the storage ring held in Shen Yao's hand with envy. You must know that in the entire Shen family, only Shen Changfu has such a storage ring.
As a result, the people from the City Lord's Mansion actually used such a valuable storage ring as a betrothal gift.
Tsk, comparing yourself to others is really frustrating.
Butler Fu couldn't tell whether entering the City Lord's Mansion was a good thing or a bad thing for the Sixth Miss, but as far as her own cultivation was concerned, the benefits definitely outweighed the disadvantages.
It would be difficult for the Sixth Miss to break through to the Qi Refining stage with her spiritual roots and aptitude in the Shen family, but if she went to the City Lord's Mansion and relied on the City Lord's Golden Core cultivation, it would be very likely for her to establish a foundation.
Suppressing these distracting thoughts in his mind, Butler Fu turned around and said goodbye and left.
He had other things to do, and since his mission in the courtyard was completed, there was no need to stay any longer.
Shen Yao watched Butler Fu leave, then turned around to put away the jade box and storage bag. She called Ping'er who was standing beside her, "If anyone comes over, tell them that I am also practicing, and everything will be decided after I leave."
Ping'er quickly responded in a low voice, "I understand."
Shen Yao walked into the room, raised her hand and set a spiritual lock to lock the door.
Then, she opened the many jade boxes and storage bags that Shen had sent her one by one, and was immediately fascinated by the generosity of the Shen family.
I still underestimated Shen Zhouhai's determination. Did he actually send all these treasures to her?
Purple jade fruit, green ling apricot, maple king puree, green bamboo star and moon dew, and phoenix tail honey.
These alternative treasures, which can beautify and improve the physical qualities of female cultivators, were not easy to find by the Shen family, and it cost a lot of money.
In addition, there are important healing medicines such as Lingshen, Shanzhi and Deer Crystal.
Oh, refined pills and the like are also indispensable. In order to make it easier for Shen Yao to distinguish them, they have been sorted and placed in the storage bag.
Shen Yao was very satisfied with this behavior, as it saved her from spending time sorting things out.
Just leave the necessary items together with the jade boxes, and store the rest into the space.
Because they are in the world of cultivation, space tools such as storage bags greatly help Shen Yao save the space he needs to carry.
Now Shen Yao's space is still as empty as when she came in. The only occupied corner is filled with storage bags.
After finishing the things sent by Shen family, Shen Yao turned her attention to the storage ring sent by the City Lord's Mansion.
Butler Fu said that the ring contained a betrothal gift. Given Fu Hengyan's temper, what could he put in it? It couldn't be a few exquisitely shaped flying swords.
It's hard to say. After all, Fu Hengyan is a sword cultivator, and they have been together in Yunwu Mountain for several days. Apart from using spirit stones, Fu Hengyan rarely took out things like elixirs.
What kind of betrothal gift could such a person have? He should be a sword cultivator.
Thinking in her mind, Shen Yao activated the spiritual power in her hands, opened the restrictions attached to the storage ring, and successfully saw the betrothal gift inside the ring.
Shen Yao:……? !!!
Blinking hard and making sure again and again that she had opened the right thing, Shen Yao let out a sigh of relief, thinking that Fu Hengyan was truly a pure swordsman.
The betrothal gift included not only the endless amount of spirit stones, but also a pair of flying swords with a freezing cold glow.
Oh, there are a few jade boxes and medicine bottles in the corner, but compared with the first two items, they are like a drop in the ocean, too small.
God is my witness. Shen Yao even feels that the spirit stones in the storage ring may be more than the deposit in the Shen’s warehouse.
Fu Hengyan, he wouldn't have dug up some spirit stone mine and packed up all the spirit stones.
