Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

"Miss, would you like to buy some jewelry?"

Ivia glanced around: "Do you have any dark green jade?"

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper said, "Miss, you have excellent taste. We recently acquired an extremely rare dark green jadeite. It is of superior quality and has a very fine texture."

Ivia: "Take it out and let me see it."

Shopkeeper: "You can go inside and sit down to rest and wait. I'll have someone serve you tea."

Ivia nodded and followed him into the reception room.

I had just taken a sip of tea when I saw the shopkeeper bring over a box containing a piece of dark green jade.

Because of this body, I unconsciously prefer dark-colored things.

The shopkeeper did not exaggerate the color or texture of this jade; it is indeed of superior quality.

Ivia put it on her wrist: "I'll take it, pay now."

The shopkeeper immediately smiled and said, "Okay, miss, please come with me."

Just as Ivia was about to stand up, she thought for a moment and said, "By the way, shopkeeper, do you have any high-quality jade pendants?"

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper instinctively felt he was about to make another profit, and said with a smile, "Yes, yes, yes, please wait a moment, I'll go get it for you."

Ivia nodded, while Xiao Qi asked in confusion, "Host, don't you have plenty of jewelry in your space? Why do you need to spend money to buy more?"

Ivy: "This is the joy of spending money, the happiness of shopping, a woman's favorite thing, you don't understand."

Xiao Qi continued eating: "Okay."

Ivy bought a jade pendant and left the jewelry store.

She browsed other shops, looked at what she had bought, went outside and bought a bunch of snacks before going back.

When they returned to Lotus Village, Fang Duobing was having tea and talking with Li Lianhua.

Seeing her carrying things, and Xiao Qi carrying things on her back, with big bags and small packages coming in, Li Lianhua stood up to greet her.

"What did you buy? Is it heavy?"

Ivy: "It's not heavy. I bought clothes, food, and jewelry. I'm tired from shopping, so I'll sit down for a while. You guys can have the food."

Fang Duobing picked up the oil paper bag and opened it: "Then I won't be polite."

Li Lianhua: "I'm tired from walking, let's soak our feet later!"

Ivia nodded: "Okay, how's your case going?"

Li Lianhua: "It's related to Master Guo. He didn't kill the bride, but she still drowned. However, he killed another person, the third bride, which is still a bit suspicious."

Ivia: "Who did you kill?"

Li Lianhua: "It is the Lion Soul of the Golden Mandarin Duck Alliance."

Then Li Lianhua recounted what happened back then.

In short, a man and a woman eloped, but the man was killed by the family, and the woman drowned in the water.

Ivia: "What about the third bride?"

Fang Duobing: "We suspect that the third bride was not killed by Master Guo."

Li Lianhua: "I'll check again tomorrow."

Ivy nodded, and that evening, Fang Duobing happily returned to his room with his favorite food.

Li Lianhua brought her a basin of hot water and placed it at her feet.

He took off her shoes and socks and put her slender feet into the water.

Li Lianhua gently massaged her feet: "Soaking them for a while will make them feel better!"

Ivia propped her elbows on the table and looked at the person squatting in front of her: "Hmm, they say that a beautiful woman looks especially charming under the lamplight, and it's certainly true!"

Li Lianhua smiled and said, "I am a man."

Ivy: "Beauty knows no gender!"

Li Lianhua said, "You are also a beauty, and we are a perfect match."

Ivia laughed out loud: "Beauties really do attract each other."

Li Lianhua nodded: "Yes, that makes sense. I've always been attracted to you."

Ivy reached out and pinched his face, and Li Lianhua noticed the bracelet on her wrist.

The dark green color accentuated her already fair wrists, making them appear slender and like white porcelain.

"Did you buy this today?"

Ivy smiled and said, "Yes, I also bought you a gift?"

Li Lianhua was pleasantly surprised: "There's one for me too?"

Ivia took out a fine jade pendant from her sleeve.

"How's it going? Do you like it?"

Li Lianhua nodded: "I like it, I like the one you bought even more."

Ivy: "You've got such a silver tongue lately!"

Li Lianhua: "I just spoke my mind and told the truth."

Ivia reached out a finger, hooked it around his belt, and pulled him closer.

"I'll put it on you." Her hand tied the jade pendant around his waist.

Li Lianhua smiled and looked down at her: "Do I look good in it?"

Ivia patted his waist and admired him for a moment: "Beautiful."

Li Lianhua couldn't hide the smile on her face. The two chatted for a while, then had a playful argument after their bath before going to bed.

The next day, when Li Lianhua saw Fang Duobing, she spread her arms and walked up to him, turning around once.

"Look at me, am I any different today!"

Fang Duobing looked him over and said, "Master, your clothes are new. Did your wife buy them?"

Li Lianhua nodded with a smile: "Anything else?"

Fang Duobing glanced at it a few more times: "Your jade pendant wasn't also a gift from my master's wife, was it?"

Li Lianhua nodded in satisfaction: "That's right, are you envious?"

Fang Duobing: "I envy you. My master's wife is so good to you."

Li Lianhua said, "You can only be envious." After saying that, he left.

Fang Duobing followed, saying, "Hey, is this because I'm unloved?"

*

A few days later, the case at Lotus Manor was solved. The third bride was the work of the manor lord's son. He killed an innocent woman for the sake of his beloved and to rebel against his father.

They took the father and son from Lotus Village to Baichuan Temple, and the three of them continued their journey.

Ivia sat outside the lotus flower and pointed to the distance, saying, "There's a river ahead. Let's spend the night here and catch some fish to grill!"

Fang Duobing: "Okay, I want to eat too."

Li Lianhua asked her, "Want some grilled fish?"

Ivia nodded: "Mm!"

Li Lianhua: "Then let's eat. I'll go catch some."

Fang Duobing said, "I'll go help Master too. Master's wife, you rest."

Ivy: "I'm going too. It's so rare to get down here and stretch my legs."

Li Lianhua: "Don't get your clothes wet."

Ivia: "Don't worry, I have the tools."

As she spoke, she walked into the Lotus Pavilion and took out two fishing nets.

Fang Duobing: "This is convenient, Master's wife, give me one."

Ivia handed him one: "Let's go."

Li Lianhua had no choice but to follow. The three of them played in the water for a long time and managed to catch more than a dozen fish.

Sitting around the fire, each person is grilling fish on a stick.

Ivy asked Li Lianhua to hold it for her, and she took out a bottle of barbecue seasoning from her sleeve.

As soon as the seasonings were added to the fish, an overpowering aroma wafted out.

Fang Duobing: "What kind of seasoning is this? The flavor is so strong, it makes my mouth water just by smelling it."

Li Lianhua: "Just eat the fish, why do you have to worry about so much!"
