Chapter 341 3 Spiritual Veins
The old doctor hurried ahead.
Behind them, Mu Yunyun was supporting Mu Bai and comforting him.
Ying Ze was furious: "You too, why did you have to feed the cub a Marrow Cleansing Pill?"
"There's no point in saying all this now. We need to go check on the cubs. Don't worry, I'm here."
Although Mu Yunyun was anxious, she remained calm.
When she awakened her spiritual veins, she was in excruciating pain.
This is all normal.
However, since it happened to a cub, she still had to go and check on it.
Emperor Xi arrived very early.
He and Ye Yu placed Ji'er on the small couch, and the little slaves nearby, hearing the commotion outside the courtyard, quickly made way for her.
"They're here, they're here, the clan leader is here."
"The old doctor is coming too, everyone please make way."
The courtyard instantly became crowded, and the little slave wisely retreated.
Mu Yunyun stepped inside and saw the cub covered in sweat from the pain, its little face pale.
The old doctor stepped forward, preparing to probe his spiritual center.
Just then, a small water ball hit him in the face, soaking his goatee.
"what."
The old doctor blinked.
"A water-based spiritual vein?"
Mu Yunyun felt relieved and finally felt at ease.
She said it would only hurt for a little while, and the pain would subside.
Mu Bai is the same; if you feel sorry for the cubs, just say so, but why make such a big fuss about it?
“The cubs are very tough. Look at you, you're so easily frightened.”
Ying Ze glared at her: "You still say that? The cub is still young, it's not too late to awaken the spiritual veins when it grows up."
"Alright, alright, I was worrying too much. Stop arguing."
Mu Bai relaxed, relieved that everything was alright.
He was really worried.
"Everyone, please disperse. We don't need anyone to watch over this place anymore."
The old doctor stepped back and wiped the small water droplets off his goatee.
Ye Yu stood up: "Thank you for troubling the old doctor to make this trip."
"It's nothing. The cub is still young, so it's normal for it to feel unwell. As a father, it's easy to get overwhelmed with concern, so it's good to come and check on it."
After the old doctor finished speaking, he was about to leave when, just as he took a step, a small mound suddenly appeared on the ground, causing him to trip and fall.
"Old doctor, are you alright?"
Ye Yu reacted quickly and caught him.
The old doctor waved his hand: "It's nothing, it's nothing."
He looked down and saw a small mound of earth sticking out of a crack in the ground, like a hard little stone, which was easy to miss if you weren't paying attention.
"This is... an earth-elemental spiritual vein!"
"what!"
Everyone in the room gasped instantly.
Ying Ze looked incredulous as he gripped Mu Bai tightly.
"Did you hear that? Ji'er actually has two spiritual veins!"
Dual spiritual veins!
When Ying Hua awakened his dual spiritual veins, it shocked the entire Yuan Continent!
Mu Bai's ears were ringing from all the noise.
He was stunned, not yet able to react.
"Dual spiritual veins, how could this be...?"
"Old Mountain Doctor, fire! Fire!"
I don't know who shouted it.
Suddenly, a corner of the animal hide caught fire, and the sparks, which no one had noticed before, began to grow larger.
Di Xi quickly picked up the animal hide, and flames burned on it. The people around dared not breathe.
"It's...it's a fire-elemental spiritual vein..."
Ye Yu murmured to herself.
Her cubs were indeed exceptionally gifted.
Mu Yunyun was also very happy.
"Three spiritual veins! My Ji'er actually has three spiritual veins!"
She happily squeezed Mu Bai's hand: "Ji'er is so talented and humble. It's all thanks to your good upbringing."
Mu Bai was completely dumbfounded.
"I have no idea......"
He originally only wanted the cubs to be able to protect themselves, but he didn't expect this...
Everyone waited a while longer, and only felt relieved when they saw that no spiritual energy was leaking out.
However, the fact that there are three spiritual veins is already quite astonishing.
Mu Yunyun had never been so happy.
Her young cub was so successful that she, as its mother, was naturally proud and wanted the whole world to know.
However, she still retained some rationality.
"Such a joyous occasion should be known to the whole clan. Go, open the treasury and distribute the celebratory money. There will be generous rewards."
Mu Bai didn't want the cubs to be too conspicuous.
"Why give out lucky money? That's too ostentatious." What will the other cubs in the courtyards think?
"You're being too cautious. How is this showing off? The cub is doing well. Aren't you happy?" Ying Ze rolled his eyes at him. Would he, as the foster father, harm the cub?
It's not like he doesn't have his own cubs.
His cub will surely amount to something in the future.
Perhaps she has five spiritual veins, just like her mother!
We’ll see!
Helpless, Mu Bai saw that Mu Yunyun was in high spirits and didn't refuse anymore.
After the lucky money was distributed, the crowd gradually dispersed.
Those with cubs also want to go back and see how their cubs' spiritual veins are awakening.
Mu Yunyun didn't leave.
She pulled Mu Bai over and sat down with him in front of the cub.
"Shaoyi is busy with the grand banquet and also has to take care of the cubs, so she is overwhelmed."
Mu Bai nodded: "I know that."
He understood why Shaoyi didn't come over; he thought she was afraid he would mind.
Mu Yunyun could tell he didn't understand, so she simply made it clear.
“The cub is exceptionally talented, and he can’t keep taking care of his younger siblings all day long. I’m going to replace the people around Ji’er.”
"Changed?" Mu Bai didn't understand and instinctively pleaded, "The little slaves who serve Ji'er are hardworking and very responsible."
"That's not what I meant."
Mu Yunyun had her concerns.
"I plan to pick a few clever ones from among the family members."
"Firstly, it allows me to accompany the cubs in their cultivation."
"Secondly, it also serves as a reminder and encouragement."
"It's not right for the cubs to be running around outside all day."
Mu Bai was stunned.
In clans, this is indeed how exceptionally talented offspring are typically arranged.
Just like the bud beside Ying Ze.
There's also Ying Ming, who's right next to Ying Hua.
They were all selected from the best among the family members.
"You have high hopes for Ji'er, and I'm afraid it will put too much pressure on him..."
He only wanted his cubs to grow up safely and peacefully; he didn't want to have so many ambitions.
Mu Yunyun was somewhat honest about this.
“Ji’er is the eldest son. Even if he fails to awaken his spiritual veins, I still have high hopes for him.”
She sighed.
"Are you happy if your cubs are mediocre?"
"I......"
long street.
The gongs and drums are loud, and the firecrackers are all fired.
Lin Wan stood outside the Marquis's residence, gazing at the grand spectacle from afar.
She was born again.
She was reborn in the fifth year after marrying into the Yongqing Marquis's household.
That year, her husband Ning Zhao returned in triumph, accompanied by her delicate half-sister.
Thinking of her half-sister, Lin Wan felt her blood run cold, hatred surged through her limbs and bones, and even her bones ached.
The second younger sister, who was always quiet and reserved at home, actually became Ning Zhao's savior and secretly bore him two children.
Not only that, but they also talked about "one life, one love" and told Ning Zhao to demote his wife to a concubine or divorce her.
Divorce your wife.
Lin Wan wanted to laugh at that moment.
She was the eldest daughter of the Grand Councilor, her grandfather was a veteran of three reigns, and her father held the highest rank of official. Her family was full of loyal and capable ministers.
The Yongqing Marquis's family was nothing more than a family that relied on the legacy of their ancestors to make a living, and even their food, clothing and daily necessities depended on her dowry. How could they dare to do that?
But the truth is, the second sister did it.
A year later, her grandfather was falsely accused of treason, her father was imprisoned, her mother died with resentment, and her younger brother had his hands and feet cut off by her second sister in an attempt to avenge him.
Overnight, she went from a noble lady to the lowest servant in the Marquis's mansion!
Unable to bear the humiliation, she smashed her head against a wall and died.
When I opened my eyes again, I realized it was all just a dream, and nothing had even begun.
"He's back, he's back, the young master is back."
The servant boy ran down the main street, his shouts echoing throughout the alley.
The old Marquis's mother-in-law, Cui, excitedly pulled him along, and the whole family looked on with joy.
Ning Zhao rode high on his steed, looking majestic in his military uniform. Unlike the rough and brutish generals, he was handsome and refined, making him the most eye-catching person in the crowd.
Lin Wan was willing to marry him because of a fleeting glimpse of him at the Spring Mountain Banquet, but she never expected to end up like this.
"Mom, the baby is back."
Ning Zhao dismounted, and Cui Shi hurriedly went to greet him. Lin Wan stepped forward, but her gaze fell upon the woman behind Ning Zhao.
"Husband, what are you doing here, Second Sister?"
Ning Zhao's smile faded. He took Lin Xian'er's hand without looking at Lin Wan.
"Mother, this is Xian'er. She has been with me through thick and thin on the border for the past five years, saving me from danger several times. Now that she has returned, I have petitioned His Majesty to grant Xian'er the status of a secondary wife."
"absurd!"
Upon hearing this, Cui clenched her fist and started hitting.
“You little brat, you’ve grown wings and you’re out there flirting with other women. I don’t care if you do, but in this house, only Wan’er has the final say.”
Lin Wan looked at her mother-in-law.
In her past life, she was indeed very moved by her mother-in-law's words of support. In fact, she had long known that her second sister had given birth to a child for the Marquis's family and was eager to see her grandson. However, her maternal family was very powerful and she dared not offend them, so she only said these polite words.
Thinking this through, Lin Wan stepped forward and said, "Mother, my second sister saved my husband's life, it's just a matter of title."
She then looked at Lin Xian'er, displaying remarkable magnanimity.
"Since I got married, it has been a long time since I saw my second sister. I never thought that my husband and I would have such a fate. Second sister, please rest assured and enter the manor. From now on, you and I will serve our husband together, so that he can have no worries in the court."
Cui was shocked.
"Wan'er, what are you saying? This little slut has no matchmaker and is promiscuous. A woman of such improper conduct must never enter my Yongqing Marquis's mansion!"
“Mother! Xian’er is not that kind of woman. It was my idea to send her to the northern frontier.”
Ning Zhao spoke up hastily, and Lin Wan also advised, "Mother, what's done is done. Today is the day my husband returns in triumph. Let's go inside the manor and talk about it then."
With a guilty look on her face, Cui grabbed Lin Wan's hand and said, "It's all my fault for not teaching her well. Don't worry, even if this slut comes in, you will still be in charge of the household."
Lin Wan smiled but remained silent.
The Yongqing Marquis's family has survived to this day thanks to the legacy of their ancestors. Even if they return in triumph this time, it will only be a formal inheritance of the title and a fifth-rank sinecure. Since the old Marquis is not in court, the huge expenses of the Marquis's family will naturally have to be supported by her alone.
"Second sister, since you are new to the manor, there are many inconveniences. Today, I will have the servants vacate the Wei Rui Xuan room so that it is closer to my husband and easier to serve him."
"Wan'er, Wei Rui Xuan is your courtyard, why should you give it to her?"
“Mother, I’ll take this opportunity to persuade Yanran to live with me.”
Upon hearing the mention of Yanran, Ning Zhao realized that she had not seen her younger sister upon returning to the manor today.
Of course you won't see it.
Lin Wan thought that her sister-in-law was completely infatuated with the poor scholar and was on a hunger strike in order to marry him.
In her past life, she had tried to persuade Yanran countless times for her own good, but Lin Xian'er always said that marriage was a major life event and that one should make one's own decisions. She believed that love could overcome any difficulty and that true love was worth a thousand pieces of gold.
Ning Yanran regarded these words as golden rules. Not only did she hate her, but she also seized a lot of her dowry shops when she got married. In the end, she even joined forces with that scholar to report that the Lin family was treasonous and that her family was destroyed.
This life.
She would no longer try to persuade him; in fact, she would protect her dowry and show Ning Yanran how much true love she truly possessed.
……
Here.
Lin Xian'er followed behind Ning Zhao, sizing up her elder sister.
She transmigrated five years ago. Five years ago, her elder sister had just gotten married. In her memory, she had no interaction with her. She never expected that a woman under the feudal dregs would be so magnanimous, not even daring to resist.
Ning Zhao said he promised to be with her for life, but to save face for the Marquis's family, he would eventually break off the engagement with her.
She was prepared for a fierce fight, but it turned out to be a waste of breath; her elder sister was extremely old-fashioned.
But this is for the best. After divorcing his wife, she can find a good marriage for her elder sister.
"Ning Zhao, I'm tired. Also, when are we going to bring Chaochao and the others over? They're still so young and can't be without me for too long."
"Xian'er, don't worry, I'll send someone to bring them back once everything settles down."
Thinking of her two children, Ning Zhao smiled gently.
"We're almost at your courtyard. Wei Rui Xuan is close to my study and not far from Mother's place, so it's convenient for everything."
He just didn't expect Lin Wan to agree to give up the courtyard.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. He has made great contributions in battle, and his status is different from before. He is about to inherit the title. As a woman, she naturally has to please him so that he will remember her kindness and come to her courtyard.
But he had promised Xian'er that at most they would treat each other with respect, nothing more.
"Stop! What are you doing?"
Lin Xian'er's words brought Ning Zhao back to her senses, and she realized that the two of them had already arrived at the gate of Wei Rui Xuan.
Inside the courtyard, servants and young men bustled about, moving all the furniture away and even digging up the trees.
The servant came over and reported, "It was the mistress who told us to move. She said that Miss Ning wants to move in and asked us to clear out the courtyard."
"Even if we're moving out, there's no need to dig up all the trees, is there?" Lin Xian'er said, looking unhappy.
The servant looked embarrassed: "Reporting to the young lady, the things we're moving are all part of the mistress's dowry..."
Ning Zhao's face darkened.
He knew Lin Wan wouldn't be so kind.
Knowing full well that Xian'er was born out of wedlock and didn't have much dowry, he deliberately emptied the courtyard to show off his generous dowry and embarrass Xian'er.
"I'm going to settle the score with her."
Ning Zhao arrived at Lanting Pavilion in a menacing manner.
"Lin Wan, she is your own sister. Why embarrass her like this? You've gone too far."
He lifted the curtain and came in, not caring whether there were maids or servants present, and immediately began to berate them.
Lin Wan was looking at the dowry list when she saw him coming over, so she put the list down.
"Green Bamboo, you all go out first."
