The stunning beauty of Qing Dynasty

I don't know if it's because of the law of luck, but Qingyin only got two pieces of precious silver-level colorful clothes in the last two treasure chests. They were not too good nor too bad. Qingyin was quite satisfied and gave the remaining two pieces to Tongzi. (Treasure level: bronze < yellow silver < precious silver < diamond < demigod < god level)

The system got the stuff and ran away very fast, and he couldn't wait to sell it at a high price!

Qingyin let him sneak away. It didn't matter whether he took the mission or not, so she was too lazy to argue with him.

The fog cleared away, and the River of Time welcomed new wishers.

An older woman wearing pink clothes walked over. She had a masculine appearance, but she was not good-looking at all. She had an overly rough face, dark skin, small eyes and a big mouth. If it were a man, she would only be considered ordinary, but since she was a woman, she looked extremely ugly.

The woman walked to Qing Yin excitedly, her eyes filled with an inexplicable burning heat, and knelt down to salute: "I greet you, sir."

The etiquette and fabric preference all showed that the woman's family background was neither low nor high, but this standard posture seemed a bit clumsy against such a face, losing a lot of beauty.

Qingyin observed, nodded to the woman, and motioned her to sit down with a smile. In fact, she had some guesses about the woman's purpose, and asked about her origins with a little curiosity.

The woman fell into deep thought. Disappointment, sadness, loss... these flashed through her eyes one after another. The complex emotions forced her to look back at her ordinary life.

Qingyin did not disturb her and waited quietly for her to come back to her senses.

The woman thought for a long time before she calmed down. She looked at Qingyin apologetically and then slowly told her about her life.

"Sir, my name is Lin Qinrou. I was born in the Lower Five Banners. My father is Lin Shengxi, the county magistrate of Anqing County. My father has three daughters and three sons. I am the second child. My eldest sister was born to my legitimate mother, An Qinglian, and my youngest sister was born to my concubine Jiang. My legitimate mother and concubine Jiang have clean backgrounds. One is the daughter of a scholar, and the other is the daughter of a wealthy businessman. But my concubine He Meiyu is of a much lower status. She was a courtesan redeemed by my father. At the beginning, my concubine and my father had a good relationship, but unfortunately, after giving birth to me..."

Lin Qinrou's face was bitter. She choked for a moment and then continued, "You have seen my face. Because of my face, my aunt made my father dislike me and I lost my father's favor. In the days that followed... my elder sister was pretty and smart. She learned a lot and soon became a famous talent in our county. My younger sister was even more beautiful and had a good personality. She was a famous beauty far and wide. Only I was stupid, ugly, and sickly."

"…My elder sister later married a nobleman in the capital and became his successor. My younger sister also entered the palace as she wished and became a concubine by the emperor's side. When I reached the age, I married a scholar who passed the imperial examination. He was my father's student and was very respectful to me. I knew that he despised me for being ugly, so I never stopped him from taking concubines. I also gave birth to a child, named Peipei, but I saw the familiar disdain in his eyes, so I didn't teach him much and just left him to his grandmother."

Lin Qinrou's eyes were sad, but her tone was calm. She smiled and said to Qingyin expectantly, "In fact, I haven't suffered much in my life. I have seen people fleeing famine. They couldn't even get enough food. I have never been hungry, but I want what I have never had. I am not jealous of my sisters, nor do I hate my children and husband. But sir, I want beauty, I want an absolutely extraordinary life, I want my life to be dazzling, and everyone can envy me. Can sir?"

"Of course." Qingyin curled her lips and smiled. She admired this young lady who had not lost herself in desires. Everyone has desires, but those who are blinded by desires are not one of them. Qingyin stretched out her hand and a contract appeared in front of the woman.

The woman smiled slightly, her courage shown in her clothes. She pressed the handprint without hesitation, waved to Qingyin with satisfaction, and lay down in the river of time.

The warm river water instantly enveloped her, and she felt as happy as if she were back in her mother's arms. The woman's previously slightly tense brows unconsciously relaxed.

Since the wishers were so enthusiastic, Qingyin also came to the Wishing River.

Time goes back and stops for a moment.

Qingyin did not open her eyes and responded to the memories that flashed through her mind. At this time, the original body was nine years old and had a high fever. The original body's aunt was framed when she was pregnant and gave birth to the original body prematurely. Therefore, the original body was weak and sickly since childhood. The aunt only thought it was her fault and doted on her. She was also the only person in the Lin family who loved her the most. It was a pity that due to time and various feelings, the original body gradually faded.

Qingyin touched her burning forehead to avoid being burned silly at the beginning, and first took a fever-reducing pill and a body-building pill. The original body's aunt was plotted against during her pregnancy and gave birth to the original body prematurely, so she had been weak and sickly since childhood. She would get a fever when the wind was cool or the season changed, and the fever would come and go quickly. In addition, she was just an unfavored concubine of the master, and the maids who served her neglected their duties and did not pay much attention to the original body, so the best opportunity to save the original body was missed. Although the original body was rescued later, her brain became even duller, and she could not react to some simple problems. Therefore, she was also ridiculed a lot after marrying the scholar.

Qingyin briefly recalled the simple experience of her original body. After taking the medicine, her body temperature gradually dropped. She closed her eyes and planned to take a nap to recover some energy.

Half an hour later, a gentle woman with the fragrance of magnolia pounced on Qingyin, and Qingyin was awakened.

"My poor daughter." The person who came was the original body's aunt. She had a cold look, especially a pair of clear, transparent and expressive almond eyes, which were very charming. She had a slender figure and was indeed a rare beauty. However, due to her age, she had a few more fine lines on her face, but it still did not affect her beauty. Instead, it added a touch of mature charm.

It was hard to imagine that the two people holding a dark and ugly girl were a biological mother and daughter. The maid standing by twitched her mouth in disdain.

Qingyin did not miss her gaze and glared at the maid sharply. The maid was frightened and quickly retracted her gaze.

How could the Second Young Lady, with her quail-like personality, give such a look? She had only seen that look and aura on the master, and it was even higher. The maid shuddered and looked at Qingyin suspiciously again, but this time Qingyin had restrained his aura and eyes. The maid dispelled her doubts, but he had restrained himself a lot after all.

Aunt He was unaware of all this. She carefully touched her daughter's forehead and felt that the fever had subsided. She nodded with relief, spoke a few more words to Qingyin, asking her to have a good rest, then told the maid to take good care of her and left.

The few maids who stayed behind were called out by Qingyin. Qingyin was the only one left in the room. She thought for a while about what to do next.

, The original body was unlucky and became the unlucky star in the Taoist's mouth. She was sent to the Taoist temple by Lin Shengxi to be raised. If it weren't for the fact that she was old and there was an annual talent show, Lin Shengxi would never have thought of the existence of this daughter.

Qingyin was also thinking about whether to avoid this disaster. Forget it. The eldest sister and the third sister were not honest people either. She was too lazy to deal with these two people with many thoughts. It would be nice to go to the Taoist temple. In her memory, the people in that Taoist temple were all very nice. They were all widows who couldn't make ends meet and it was a female Taoist temple where they gathered together. Her original body had a very good personality in there, partly because of the Taoist temple. Qingyin, who had thought of a way out, decided to stay where she was.

In Qingxiang Courtyard, which is separated from the mansion, Aunt Jiang's courtyard. Lin Heyu and Aunt Jiang thought of a plan. The person they found was a fraudster. With the wealth of the Jiang family, they easily found a candidate. Lin Heyu was so happy that she couldn't sleep when she thought of Lin Mengya's bad luck tomorrow. The result of her excitement was that she didn't sleep all night. However, she pretended to be worried about Lin Mengya. Lin Heyu's beautiful face was a little distorted and uglier. The maid next to her lowered her head tightly, for fear of attracting the attention of this little devil.

It was late autumn now and the weather had turned cooler. Anqing County was shrouded in dark clouds, giving off a gloomy feeling as if a storm was about to come. After listening to the secret that the Taoist had learned from Aunt Jiang, Lin Shengxi became even more convinced of the Taoist's secret and asked the servants to call over several young ladies and gentlemen.

Except for Qingyin and the culprit who knew the truth, everyone else was confused and panicked. Qingyin pretended to be afraid and hid behind Aunt He, which did not stand out. Lin Shengxi also knew that his second daughter was timid and could not stand her pettiness, but he did not say anything. The most important thing now was to find the unlucky star that the Taoist mentioned.

Qingyin also took this opportunity to meet the eyes of several people in her memory. The eldest sister Lin Mengya did look like her stepmother, delicate but not good-looking. Her face turned pale at the moment, but she looked at the beautiful Lin Heyu with jealousy. The relationship between the eldest brother Li Mingxuan and Lin Muzhe was not so awkward. Lin Muzhe was also handsome like Lin Heyu, and he had all the advantages of Lin Shengxi and Aunt Jiang. He stood aside politely and courteously.

Lin Shengxi looked at his two sons with a much gentler look. He coughed and explained the reason: "This Taoist priest Wude is here on a journey. He saw that there is a person with an evil destiny in our house who will affect the luck of the Lin family. You should stand over here and let the Taoist priest take a good look."

"Father, let me go first." Lin Heyu stood up. Her delicate little face was full of admiration for Lin Shengxi. Her big watery eyes looked at him with trust, which made Lin Shengxi feel comfortable. No wonder he loved his daughter so much.

Looking at Lin Heyu who stepped forward on her own initiative, An felt uneasy. That bitch Jiang was so calm from the beginning, there must be something fishy. She held her somewhat angry daughter and began to observe the Taoist priest carefully.

The Taoist priest in a Taoist robe had a handsome face and a thin figure. Touching his white beard, he did look a bit like an immortal. He pretended to ask about Lin Heyu's birthday, then looked at her carefully and congratulated her seriously, "Congratulations, sir. This young lady is a blessed person. I have never seen a woman with such a precious fate. This fate is probably... Tsk..."

Taoist Master Wude did not say anything further. He was very secretive about his intention to fish, especially because his own thoughts were the most convincing. Sure enough, Lin Shengxi took the bait. His eyes lit up, and he thought of a possibility and looked at Taoist Master Wude excitedly.

"You can't say it, you can't say it. Some things are not good if you say them out loud." Lin Shengxi, who was confused, believed the Taoist's words even more, and looked at Lin Heyu with more loving eyes. Seeing this scene, Aunt Jiang couldn't help but smile, which was also noticed by An. She was sure that this Taoist was found by the bitch Jiang.

Thinking that this might be a trap set for her child, her eyes turned cold. Qingyin leaned in Aunt He's arms, taking it all in. Her cheap father was really greedy. If you were to say how much he believed it, then that was definitely not the case. The Taoist's words were beneficial to him, and Lin Heyu was good-looking, which would be helpful to him in the future, so he naturally took the opportunity to praise her a lot.

If this person was talking about his son, he would probably be the first to refute it. However, the original body was ugly and had no benefit at all, so he would just forget about it.

Qingyin pondered for a moment and watched the situation develop.

An moved. She came out and said with a smile in her eyes, "He Yu is a good-looking child. I didn't expect that his fate is also so good."

"But Taoist priest, how did you know that there are people with evil fates in our Lin Mansion? Do you have any evidence for your inference?"

Seeing the unfriendly An, Taoist Wude froze for a moment, but fortunately he had traveled a lot and could react to these unexpected events. He said with a serious face: "Madam, I mainly practice the way of observing qi. When I passed by Anqing County, I happened to see black qi coming from the Lin Mansion, so I stayed for a while. I didn't expect to have such a fate with Lord Lin County Magistrate. However, this evil person, I can see that the Lin Mansion is either light or thick, so this person must be sick, that's why it's like this."

Hearing this, An's heart sank, and she realized that this matter was directed at her daughter. Her daughter recently contracted a rash, and because it was a skin disease, she did not publicize it. It seemed that there was a traitor among her people. Thinking of this, her eyes became even colder.

She looked at her somewhat panicked daughter soothingly. She was thinking about how to escape from the predicament. Qingya, a maid who happened to know from her cousin that the eldest daughter was ill, her eyes lit up. This matter was aimed at the eldest daughter, but the second daughter happened to be ill, so she could use this matter to surrender to the legitimate wife. Thinking of this possibility, Qingya gritted her teeth and became more calculating when she looked at Qingyin's back.

Second Miss, don't blame me. Blame it on your bad luck. You have no future if you are so ugly. So help her with one last thing.

Qingyin felt the burning gaze behind him and curled his eyes slightly.

After a while, a figure knelt down. It was Qing Ya. She looked a little flustered and trembling: "Master, I don't know whether I should tell the lady?"

When An saw that it was Lin Qinrou's maid, her eyes lit up, and she looked at the ambition clearly in that person's eyes with more respect. Thinking of the frail health of the second child, she looked at Qingya gently and said, "Tell me, have you found the evil person?"

"I am serving the Second Young Miss. She has been ill recently. I found a dead bird in the yard. I felt sorry for it and buried it in the yard. I don't know, I don't know this..."

Looking at the maid who slandered her daughter, He Meiyu wanted to slap this person in the face without waiting for her to refute.

An stood up and pretended to be shocked, while asking someone to dig out the bird. No matter whether it existed or not, she would dig up a bird. Seeing that He Meiyu was pushing the blame on Qingyin, she couldn't help but stand up and defend her daughter.

Unfortunately, the "evidence" of Mingchui was displayed, and Taoist Master Wude, under the suggestion of Aunt Jiang, pointed out that Qingyin was the evil person.

Aunt Jiang's idea was naturally that if she couldn't defeat An, then He would be able to do it. The two of them tacitly added fuel to the fire, and in the end it was decided that Qingyin would be sent to the Taoist temple.
