The Virgin Mary in the Book: I Decide My Life with Two Swords

Cangyue Kingdom Langya Pavilion

The temperature at the beginning of winter still remains around 15 degrees, which is also the coldest temperature in Zhezhou.

Mo Yufeng asked Ma Tao to tell everyone that he would be accompanying Su Su at Xianren Peak in the next few days, so if there was anything, they could come here to find him.

After breakfast, Ye Ling went to her Renzi Hall to do her usual work. It didn't matter to her where she stayed anyway, as it would take only one day.

"Envoy" Yingchuan entered the room and said, "The former sect leader passed away. Envoy Yue, as the representative of Langya Pavilion, went to attend the funeral and left yesterday evening. The eldest daughter should have gone, but she just got pregnant, so she could avoid it."

"I have no connections with their family, so I'll just die." Ye Ling was half lying on a straw stool, his heels on the desk, looking quite manly, with a book covering his face, and his eyes closed to rest.

"Yes, I understand. Also, Envoy Chen Qian sent two people here, waiting outside. Qi Yi and Fang Shu are both here. Envoy Chen Qian meant that it would be best to get rid of both of them. He said that Envoy Ji is already very angry, and if he can't get rid of them, he will be finished. Besides, after all, only our Renzi Hall has no secrets, and the other two halls don't dare to use new people," Yingchuan said.

"Have them both come in and kneel down. Tell the brothers from Renzitang to be polite, especially that Qi Yi. I want to see how long they can hold out. By the way, are the people from Wanquan Escort Agency still here?"

"No, I'm waiting."

"Come in, but be quiet and don't disturb my sleep." Ye Ling maintained his original posture.

"Yes." After Yingchuan went out, he quickly brought the two people in: "The envoy is resting, you kneel down and wait."

"Why?" Qi Yi immediately retorted.

Fang Shu knelt down obediently.

Yingchuan glared at Qi Yi and said, "You are a slave. From now on, our Si Shi will be the master. Today is the first day you see the master, and a slave won't kneel? Haven't you learned the etiquette? If you don't kneel, get out and go back to Wanquan Escort Agency."

Although Qi Yi was angry, she finally knelt down.

Ye Ling wanted to laugh in her heart: Yingchuan is a very sharp-tongued kid! He has a bright future.

"Sister Ye, Sister Ye" a familiar voice came from outside.

Ye Ling immediately took the book off his face: "Meng Jing? You're here so early in the morning? Yingchuan, go check and let the person in."

"Yes"

Ye Ling retracted his legs, looked at the two kneeling people, and spoke slowly: "Since Tianzitang has assigned you here, you must abide by my rules. What I hate most is servants talking back. From now on, what I say is what you mean. If you dare to talk back, you will have to follow the rules of Renzitang. One word of backtalk will result in a slap in the face. Think carefully."

"Yes, I will obey the orders of the envoy and will never dare to talk back," said Fang Shu.

"Just be obedient. Fang Shu, get up and stand aside. Qi Yi, what about you?"

Qi Yi looked at Ye Ling with dissatisfaction: "I understand."

"Don't talk to me with that attitude. If you don't accept it, get out. Remember your identity. You are a slave and I am the master. The probation period is one month. After one month, if I am satisfied, you can stay. If I am not satisfied, you have to get out of Langya Pavilion. If it is inconvenient for others at that time, I can't let you do anything. I can just throw you out. Get up and stand aside," Ye Ling said.

Qi Yi stood up, glared at Fang Shu fiercely, and then stood together.

"Sister Ye" Meng Jing trotted in and threw herself directly into Ye Ling's arms: "I miss you so much!"

"Ah, my!" Ye Ling smiled and patted Meng Jing on the back: "Why did you come up here instead of staying at home?"

Meng Jing pouted, her expression sad, and said in a coquettish voice, "Sister Ye, you don't know how hard my life was. My father asked me to get married and said he would find a husband for me. I was so sad! So I told him to go to Langya Pavilion to find a suitable husband. When he heard this, he actually agreed. So I came here!"

"Come here to find your ideal husband?" Ye Ling shook her head. "Let me tell you, there aren't many good men in Langya Pavilion. Be careful not to get scammed!"

"Oh!" Meng Jing immediately hugged Ye Ling's arm and acted coquettishly: "How about... you be my ideal husband?"

"Ah?" Yingchuan was shocked.

"What? Sister Ye is much better than you stinky men. She is both talented in literature and martial arts and has a lot of money."

"Speaking of money, I suddenly remembered something." Ye Ling took out five thousand taels from the box on the table and said, "Yingchuan, this is my personal annual reward for our brothers. You have all worked hard this year. Take it and ask Envoy Cai Qian to distribute it to all the brothers according to the proportion of their daily wages."

"Master, this is too much, isn't it?" Yingchuan was surprised again.

"It's okay. Now that I can still make money, there's something good to share with everyone. Take it!"

"Thank you for the reward, sir," Yingchuan bowed.

"Sister Ye, where did you get so much money?" Meng Jing asked.

"I earned it with my life. Did you know there's a eunuch on the Jianghu Villain List?"

"I know, I know"

"I caught him alive. The court sent people to take him away two days ago and gave him a reward. I will share the money with everyone," Ye Ling said indifferently.

"How much is the reward? Five thousand taels?" Meng Jing asked weakly.

Ye Ling smiled slightly: "Fifty thousand taels"

"So many?" Meng Jing was surprised again.

Fang Shu and Qi Yi on the side were also surprised.

"Yes! I distributed it to everyone in Langya Pavilion. Although the money is high, it is not easy to earn. I almost lost my life in order to catch him. Don't you think about it? He is on the list of villains and he is not a pushover." Ye Ling said and took a sip of tea.

"No matter how powerful he is, you caught him, didn't you? I heard you also caught the master thief Di Bin?"

“Yes, he is hard to describe.”

"Tsk tsk tsk..." Meng Jing said with a painful expression: "If you say it's not good-looking, then it must be extremely ugly. Oh, this proves that I was right about her! Sister Ye is the most reliable destination."

Ye Ling smiled dotingly: "You want me to be your ideal husband, what are you thinking? I am a woman."

"What's wrong with being a woman? As long as you love others, that's all. Anyway, I just like Sister Ye." Meng Jing rested her head on Ye Ling's shoulder and said, "I swear I won't go back until I find my ideal husband."

"Then stay here first. By the way, I have some good news to tell you. Susu is pregnant."

"What? Really? Whose?"

"You idiot, it must be my senior brother!"

"Oh, yes, yes, I forgot. We should congratulate her! She's going to have her own baby soon!"

"I'm getting a little anxious now. It'll be at least nine months later."

"Nine months?"

"Yes, Dr. Kou said she is almost a month pregnant."

"Let me do the math. It's the beginning of winter now, so nine months from now will be... Oh my god, that's around August next year! Pregnant is such a long time-consuming thing."

"Haven't you heard of a ten-month pregnancy?"

"I've heard of that, but...do women have to give birth to children?"

"Probably! By the way, let your servants go to the guest rooms in the pavilion, and you take Tao'er with you to live with me back at Xianren Peak. It's just right for her to accompany Susu. She fainted yesterday and almost scared me to death." Ye Ling still feels scared when he thinks about it now.

"Is it so serious?" Meng Jing was obviously worried.

"I'll go back with you later."

"Then I hope you're okay here. I can go back alone first. I know the way." Meng Jing was afraid of disturbing Ye Ling.

"It's okay. I had already agreed to cook for my senior brother and Envoy Yue and Envoy Ji today. However, Yue Chi went to attend Su Su's uncle's funeral, but our gathering will not be postponed. It's just the right time to celebrate Su Su's pregnancy. You came at the perfect time!"

"Then let's go!"

"Okay, come here." Ye Ling stood up.

A guard came in and bowed.

"Take them to clean the front hall."

"Why? I won't go," Qi Yi retorted habitually.

Ye Ling slapped him without any warning.

The people present were startled. Ye Ling said in a cold voice, "I just said that if you are a slave, you must obey. Otherwise, beatings are common. You chose to degenerate yourself, so you can't blame others."

Qi Yi's eyes were bloodshot, and she covered her face: "You...you...I quit. I want to go back now. I don't care about your Langya Pavilion."

"Then get out of here right away before you sign the indenture!" Ye Ling was still cold.

"You...I will definitely let my father kill you."

"Hurry up and tell Qi Yu everything you've done in Langya Pavilion. I want to see how the famous Qi family will have the audacity to come to Langya Pavilion and call for justice."

Qi Yi looked at Fang Shu: "Why don't you come with me? Are you going to be humiliated here?"

"I haven't been humiliated here. On the contrary, I have to live cautiously every day in your house. Qi Yi, you can go now. I said I will never go back. It's good to be a maid here and support myself with my own hands." Fang Shu said and bowed slightly to Ye Ling: "Sir, I will go to clean up."

Qi Yi ran away in anger. Ye Ling walked out of the room and asked, "Wu You?"

"Si Shi" Wu You came out of the study.

"Hurry up and follow Qi Yi, watch her go down the mountain, and also tell Chen Fei that my mission is completed and he owes me a drink."

"Yes." Wu You took the order and left.

Meng Jing finally dared to speak: "Sister Ye, why... did you hit her?"

"I'll tell you on the way back. Let's go." Ye Ling passed by the front hall and looked at the busy Fang Shu. Suddenly, he remembered something: "Fang Shu, come with me first!"

"Yes," Fang Shu answered obediently, and then followed Ye Ling away.

At the gate, I ran into Wu You returning. "Envoy, I hadn't taken a few steps when Envoy Chen Qian took over. He said he would definitely thank you."

"Okay, by the way, have the pigs I asked to be sent to Immortal Peak been delivered?" Ye Ling asked.

"Yes, I sent it this morning. I had the slaughterhouse deliver it. I've got the pig slaughtered for you today, except for the head. It's been cleaned thoroughly. Sergeant, I have a question. The weather isn't very cool, and it can even get hot at noon. Meat won't keep well. You want a large pig. Can you finish it?"

"You don't understand. I want to pickle a jar of bacon. Okay, go ahead and do your thing. Let your Cai Qianshi handle the small matters. Come to me if the sky falls." Ye Ling said and left.

"Don't worry, sir. I won't disturb you until the sky falls," Wu You responded from behind.

"I'm going to see Susu," Meng Jing said happily, jumping up and down. "I'm going to give her a big surprise."
