Li Qingyou stood in the backyard of Jinguang Temple. This was one of the few temple trips she had taken since time travel. Except for the Shuiyue Temple in Qingfeng Mountain before, she had also been to Jinguang Temple several times before, with Mrs. Li.

Came to visit the temple fair.

But at that time, they just stayed in the front hall for a while as ordinary pilgrims, burned incense and left, then walked around the temple fair and then went home.

This is the first time I have walked in the backyard like this. Jinguang Temple is close to the foot of the mountain, and the incense is usually quite strong. However, because the weather is too cold, there are fewer pilgrims.

The few lonely plum trees in the yard have not yet bloomed, so if you want to walk in the snow to find plum trees, you will probably have to wait a few more days.

"How are you doing with your homework recently?" Li Qingyou casually chatted with her brother as she walked. She was usually too busy and hadn't had such a good conversation with her brother in a few days.

"Fortunately, my husband praised me a few days ago." Adi raised his head slightly and looked at Li Qingyou with a little pride on his face, expecting her to praise him a few times.

"Really?" Li Qingyou raised her eyebrows and chuckled, tapping the tip of his nose with her hand, "Aren't you bragging?"

"Don't think that you can talk nonsense because I haven't paid much attention to you these days. Maybe one day when I'm free, I'll ask your husband to see if you're telling the truth." Li Qingyou deliberately teased Adi.

"No." Adi wrinkled his nose and looked at Li Qingyou with dissatisfaction, "Sister, you can ask at any time."

Quite confident.

Li Qingyou smiled and glanced sideways at Adi who was walking beside her. She liked how confident he was. This is how a person should be. Confidence is the source of success. What else can he accomplish if he doesn't even believe in himself?

The two siblings chatted casually while walking. It was already the winter month, and the sun was not even warm when it shone on their bodies. Moreover, it was in the mountains, and the temperature was lower than in the county town.

Li Qingyou thought about going back to the Zen room to rest for a while, and then go back after Mrs. Xu finished listening to the Zen lecture. After several contacts, Li Qingyou felt that the relationship between Magistrate Xu and his wife was very good.

Magistrate Xu is very secretive about the matter of the Li family and the old couple. Maybe he can open a gap through Mrs. Xu?

The deaths of the old couple were not simple. Although Li Qingyou still couldn't figure out who would use such elaborate means to harm two ordinary people, there was no doubt that there must be a hidden secret behind it.

Moreover, it was a secret that even County Magistrate Xu did not dare to touch.

Li Qingyou didn't expect Magistrate Xu to help him get justice. He didn't have the ability, otherwise he wouldn't have kept silent. Even when she deliberately or unintentionally used the Wei family and the Shen family to lure him, he wouldn't let go.

But she wants to know the truth, even if it's just a little clue. This is the only thing she can do for the old couple.

But now is not the time, she still needs to get closer to Mrs. Xu.

Li Qingyou was thinking wildly and didn't notice what his brother said. He only felt that he suddenly stopped and his delicate eyebrows twisted into a "Sichuan" shape. She followed his gaze and saw Qin Xiu?

When Li Qingyou saw Qin Xiu, she happened to look over, with a smile on her face, and walked over with the help of the maid, "What a coincidence, sister Qingyou is also here to offer incense?"

"Yes, it's quite a coincidence." Li Qingyou nodded. This time she saw that Qin Xiu seemed a little different from before. She was holding her waist with one hand and stroking her slightly protruding belly with the other.

Is this there?

Li Qingyou raised his eyebrows. Judging from Qin Xiu's altar, this time it should be true.

"Congratulations." Li Qingyou smiled. Qin Xiu had worked so hard to conceive an heir, and now she finally got her wish. It can be regarded as benevolence and benevolence.

Qin Xiu also looked very happy. The sadness and resentment of the past were gone from her face and eyes, and there was more brilliance of motherhood. It was obvious that she was looking forward to this child.

"Thank you." Qin Xiu originally wanted to say hello and leave. She finally got pregnant with a child. She originally wanted to come to fulfill her wish, but she didn't expect to meet Li Qingyou.

But after hearing that she was accompanying County Magistrate Xu's wife, she temporarily changed her mind and insisted on "reminiscing about the past" with Li Qingyou.

Li Qingyou glanced at her, with a knowing smile in his eyes that made Qin Xiu look away in embarrassment. Is there anything good to talk about between them?

It was just because Mrs. Xu was here that Qin Xiu also wanted to get close to her.

Although Li Qingyou didn't like Qin Xiu's behavior, she could understand it. Her natal family did not have a strong family background, and it was understandable that she wanted to find a backer so that she could gain a foothold in the Shen family.

Although in Li Qingyou's view, this was a useless effort, after all, Shen San didn't take County Magistrate Xu seriously at all.

Qin Xiu invited her enthusiastically, and Li Qingyou couldn't refuse too much, so he went into the meditation room with her and drank tea while waiting.

In the blink of an eye, it was noon, and the young monk brought the vegetarian food from the temple. Li Qingyou took a few bites, and it tasted really good.

Mrs. Xu also came out after listening to the Zen lecture. When she learned that Qin Xiu was the concubine of Third Young Master Shen, she became much colder in her words. Not many first-time ladies could look down upon a concubine, let alone an concubine.

But because the relationship between the Shen family doesn't get too tense, it's just a false courtesy.

In just one afternoon, Li Qingyou once again refreshed her understanding of Qin Xiu. Even though she knew her purpose, she was still eye-opened by such enthusiastic and overwhelming flattery.

Although Mrs. Xu looked down upon Qin Xiu's status, people liked to listen to flattery, and her expression on Qin Xiu's face improved a lot over time.

In the following days, Li Qingyou went to and from the county government office from time to time, and walked around frequently with Mrs. Xu. Occasionally, she would run into Qin Xiu who also came to visit.

From their conversation, it was clear that they were very familiar with each other. They were much more familiar than when they were at Jinguang Temple for the first time. Li Qingyou smiled. Sure enough, people need to get along with each other.

The eighth day of the winter lunar month came quickly, the day when the ranch was officially opened. Not only County Magistrate Xu and his wife arrived, but many other prominent officials, businessmen, wealthy gentry in Qingshan County were also present.

These people gave face to both County Magistrate Xu and the Shen family. From this day on, Li Qingyou also officially appeared as a businessman in the circle of officials, merchants, wealthy gentry in Qingshan County.

This time, the female relatives of each family no longer rejected Li Qingyou as they did when Mrs. Xu first came to Qingshan County. Firstly, they were told by their own men when they returned home, and secondly, it was because Mrs. Xu officially recognized Li Qingyou as her wife. Sister-in-law.

In this way, no matter whether the female relatives think highly of Li Qingyou or not, at least they still have enough face.

There is only one exception, and that is the girl who kept hitting Li Qingyou with words at Mrs. Xu's place last time. She is the eldest daughter of the county magistrate, named Zhao Yulian.
