ing chair listening to Ms. Lin introduce herself.Although he lived in the mountains, Grandpa was still well-informed about national affairs. He gave my brother a meaningful glance and said to Lin Yanq...Jiang Qiyun!

"You, you... how did you get here..." I couldn't react for a moment. How could he appear in this desolate graveyard

His face was obviously displeased, and he said in a deep voice: "What time is it now You shouldn't be out of the house, running to this kind of place. Can't I even follow"

Uh... Could it be that he followed me here after seeing I wasn't in the room

He didn't used to care where I went.

"Alright, alright, Xiao Qiao and I are just going to buy some amulets. We'll head back after that." My brother smoothed things over: "Since we're here, why don't we all go together Hey, brother-in-law, haven't you taken my little Qiao shopping before"

I speechless looked at my brother, no need for your assistance, okay!

What the heck is this place for shopping Out in the middle of nowhere, with overgrown graves and tombstones bleeding... Do you take this for Lovers' Lane

"Hurry up, hurry up, buy it and get home to sleep early." My brother urged.

I hesitated and looked at Jiang Qiyun, wanting to tell him: Why don't you go home first and wait for me

I find that statement strange...

"Let's go." Jiang Qiyun said to me, frowning and motioning for me to follow my brother.

I walked in from the gloomy pit, as if I had stepped into a pool of ice water. My senses briefly disappeared, probably because I entered a different space.

This is a strange path, only as wide as one brick beneath your feet, not wide enough for two people to walk side by side.

"Xiao Qiao, be careful, don't step on any place outside the bluestone tiles. If you do, bad things will happen." My brother warned me while taking out his lighter and paper money.

"Is there a Land God here too" I asked curiously.

My brother scoffs, “No, this is for the ghost messenger who blocks the road. There will be another one up ahead asking for toll.”

I followed my older brother forward, while Jiang Qiyun coldly crossed his arms and kept to me at a distance. His icy aura felt like a blade against my back, making the nape of my neck shiver uncontrollably.

"You...are you angry" I couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

He let out a cold snort: “You’re the only one who dares to leave an empty room for me to wait in, several times now Mu Xiaoqiao.”

I was still a bit apologetic, but hearing his words, my heart suddenly felt like it was being squeezed.

“Yes, there are many women serving the Emperor. Anyone can be summoned and dismissed at will. Who would dare to make you wait It's my ignorance that I apologize for. If you find waiting unbearable, perhaps you should look elsewhere.” I replied coldly, turning away and ignoring him.

“Mu Xiaoqiao!” He gripped my shoulder with a furious force, his strength feeling like it could crush my bones. “I’ve told you so many times, there are no others! When don't I come straight to you as soon as I'm finished with work What more do you want!”

That's what you said! It sounds like I'm vying for attention.

"You don't have to come! Didn't the Emperor say that the spirit fetus needs your Yin Qi to grow How much pleasure time have I wasted for you Just wait until your goal is achieved, after you take this child as an eye for the formation, you can come if you want, best not to come ever again!" I yelled angrily.

Did I just lose my mind by provoking him like that

Actually, I'm also afraid of him. Besides when he controls my mind with shame and pleasure, I've always been a little afraid of him.

But when negative emotions accumulate in the heart, it is easy for people to explode.

After becoming pregnant, not only does the body experience sleepiness and nausea, but emotions also fluctuate greatly.

He can be short-tempered, irritable, and pessimistic.

And he has shallow eyes, crying easily... Whenever he experiences negative emotions, his heart feels like it's being squeezed by a giant hand, and his breathing rhythm is disrupted.

I used to read the news about a pregnant woman who got into an argument with her husband and fainted from anger, foaming at the mouth. At the time, I thought it was unbelievable.

Only now, through firsthand experience, do I realize this is truly possible.

My temper comes and goes quickly. After I yelled, I got scared by his gloomy and cold stare.

He held my shoulders with a grip that wouldn't budge. I struggled, and in a moment, I landed on the dark earth beyond the blue bricks.

In that instant, my body lurched violently, as if I had stepped off a staircase and plunged headlong downward!

Jiang Qiyun pulled me back with a grunt, his voice low and rumbling as he growled, "Get out!"

What This… this is you roaring at me!

To be scolded with this word by her own husband, it was truly a slap in the face.

"...Get out! Let go of me!" I was so angry tears welled up in my eyes, struggling to back away. What kind of jerk yells at me to get out You're the one who's taking up half my bed!

Jiang Qiyun held onto me, motionless. I looked up at him, but found he was looking sideways at my feet.

I lowered my head and saw only a few swollen, white fingers sunk into the darkness.

"Ouch!" I quickly jumped out of the way.

Jiang Qiyun tightly held onto my waist, fixing my body in place, and growled, "Didn't I tell you not to step on anything other than the bluestone"

I... I was just trying to break free from him, so I didn't pay attention to my feet.

What was that Was it trying to grab me just now

Jiang Qiyun let go of me, impatiently saying to me, "Leave quickly, don't make a fuss here with me!"

His attitude made me indignant, I felt wronged and heartbroken. I really wanted to shout back...

But, I'm chicken.

I wiped my tears and walked carefully forward. My brother had already gone ahead. He probably felt that with Jiang Qiyun here, he didn't have to keep an eye on me.

Two black-faced ghost messengers in white robes appeared in front of me, their smiles were extremely hideous, blocking my brother's way and demanding a toll.

My brother took out paper money and burned it, but they still wouldn't let up.

"Brother Ghost, aren't you being too greedy This much isn't enough I didn't bring much, I'll make up for it next time." My brother frowned.

"Alas, the three of you... this amount of money is only enough for one person. What about the other two" A ghost official pointed at me with his head.

His voice trailed off, and then he raised his hand to rub his eyes. Suddenly, he trembled and shouted, "Your Majesty!"

Jiang Qiyun's face was sullen, the anger in his eyes almost bursting out.

I know he's angry with me, but these two ghost messengers were unlucky to become cannon fodder...

They bowed their heads until they almost broke the bluestones, begging for mercy and wailing incessantly.

"Your Majesty, how could you be in this place... If you're going to Xishi Market, why take this route!" The low-level clerk probably wanted to spit blood. These grassroots civil servants might not see a high-ranking leader once every few hundred years, and today they hit the jackpot.

My brother swaggered and tapped his foot: "Ghost Marshal, do these two people in the back still need to pay road tolls"

"No, no! We'll return your toll, we'll return it!" He held my brother's burned paper money in both hands and respectfully raised his head.

My brother was just about to take it, but I frowned and said, "Forget it, brother, give it to them. It's an unwritten rule."

I don't want my brother to take these paper money – they've already been burned for the spirits, taking them back will just be annoying.

"Thank you, little madam, thank you, little madam!" The ghost official hurriedly changed the subject: "Little madam, how could you walk this path Come this way, this way!"

Their hands clasped in the hazy void, and before them, the path seemed to lift its curtain, transforming into a wide, paved stone road.

My older brother walked in first. He glanced at Jiang Qiyun and said sarcastically, loud enough for all of us to hear: “ …such low emotional intelligence, unable to look directly!”

"...."he winds of change. He merely nodded slightly and said in a faint voice, "There is no need for ceremony today."The atmosphere eased a bit, and people from the Shen family and Mu family took the initia...
