Chapter 218 God, aren't you worried the plot will completely fall apart?
[Hehe, I knew it! My liking for reading this type of novel is purely out of personal interest.]
Surprisingly, she also enjoys reading storybooks, which has led to a great "interest" in raising animals.
However, everyone has their own unique preferences, so it's not surprising. But my preference is simply to observe, while hers is to put it into practice!
【It's really great!】
Jiang Mianmian couldn't help but sigh, feeling admiration for Su Qianqian's astonishing imagination.
She thought to herself that Su Qianqian's imagination was simply beyond imagination. How could she be so bold as to imagine such bizarre things?
Jiang Mianmian pondered to herself, muttering to herself: "Doesn't she realize that her behavior is somewhat... um... perverted?"
But then I thought again, maybe Su Qianqian didn't even realize this! Otherwise, how could she let such unbelievable things happen one after another?
Thinking of this, Jiang Mianmian quickly suggested, "Why don't we consider giving her some other types of storybooks to read?"
If this continues, and if it's always these kinds of stories, I feel that sooner or later someone will break down.
As for who might not be able to hold on, Jiang Mianmian did not specify.
However, just by thinking about those people who were turned into animals by Su Qianqian's magical ideas and lost their memories, one can guess how frustrated and helpless they must feel.
As for whether those people could hold on, she didn't say much. Anyway, those she turned into animals know just by thinking about it how depressed they are.
Originally, these were all living, normal people, but because of a flash of inspiration in Su Qianqian's mind, they were instantly reduced to animals without any self-awareness.
At this moment, Jiang Mianmian really wanted to look up at the sky and shout, "God, what deep hatred do you have for those poor people that you would let Su Qianqian torment them like this?"
"If we keep going like this, aren't you worried that the plot will completely fall apart?" Jiang Mianmian muttered, frowning.
[You see, there's already a prince of high status in this story. If we introduce a general who commands a large army and wields considerable power, the story really won't end! Otherwise...]
At this point, Jiang Mianmian couldn't help but gasp, too frightened to continue thinking about it.
At this moment, Guan Ling Shuang, who had been summoned temporarily but did not appear, secretly lamented: How can this be considered unimaginable?
Please stop thinking about it! If you keep letting your thoughts wander like this, we might all break down completely!
[Hmph, can you blame me for daring to think like that?]
Jiang Mianmian pouted unconvinced, crossed her arms, and looked indignant.
[Tsk tsk tsk, if we're talking about someone who really dares to think big, it's clearly Su Qianqian! Her imagination is truly amazing!]
Jiang Mianmian couldn't help but shake her head and sigh when she thought of Su Qianqian's wildly imaginative ideas.
As for the mysterious bird, Jiang Mianmian didn't need to worry about it too much. After all, Lao San's men were secretly keeping an eye on it!
It shouldn't be long before they find out what secrets this "bird" is hiding, and they'll be able to show everyone who possessed it.
Because of the existence of the portrait, making an accurate judgment is no longer difficult for them, and finding people becomes much easier.
Just a few days later, Jiang Mianmian saw detailed information about the bird.
When she turned her gaze to the portrait, she instantly recognized the appearance of the soul hidden in the bird's body—it was Lin Junhui, the young master from the Lin family!
I heard that the young master of the Lin family is frail and sickly from childhood and has been recuperating in a separate courtyard, so he rarely appears in public.
In addition, the Lin family was always worried about his condition, fearing that he might leave this world at any time, so they did not want him to be exposed to outsiders too much.
As a result, very few people outside the Lin family knew that there was such a young master in the Lin family who had met "Lin Junhui".
"He seemed quite sunny and handsome that day, but why is his health so poor? Such a good-looking child, what a pity!"
Jiang Mianmian gazed at the extremely beautiful portrait in her hand and couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration.
Alas, such an outstanding young boy, yet he couldn't enjoy the beauty of the world for long. It's truly a cruel twist of fate.
His parents must be extremely worried about him!
Just then, Li Tingxue curiously leaned over, glanced at the portrait, and exclaimed in surprise, "The Lin family? Could it be Lin Jinyue's sickly cousin?"
"You actually know him?" Jiang Mianmian's face was full of surprise.
"Yes, Lin Jinyue and I used to have a pretty good relationship. But since we all got married, we've gradually lost touch."
However, I had heard before that her brother-in-law had a cousin whose health had always been poor, and I didn't know if he would survive to adulthood. As for whether this cousin's name was Lin Junhui, I wasn't sure.
"That's quite a coincidence. We were just thinking about how to get closer to the Lin family. Since you know them, could you help us make contact?"
[Hehe! This is going to be interesting. Maybe she can even get a piece of the juicy gossip!]
Jiang Mianmian's eyes lit up immediately, and she said: There's nothing more enjoyable than being able to watch the gossip up close!
Oh dear, what a coincidence! I was just thinking about how to get closer to the Lin family.
"Since you know Lin Jinyue, why don't you help Lao San and the others make the connection?"
“Okay, no problem!” Li Tingxue nodded eagerly in agreement: “Then I’ll quickly find an excuse to contact Lin Jinyue.”
Actually, Li Tingxue was secretly overjoyed, after all, she had witnessed the fierce battle with Situ Wenqi last time.
She couldn't be there in person for various reasons, and could only hear "second-hand information" from others, which made her extremely unhappy.
Especially that day when she wanted to go see the excitement, her mother-in-law didn't take her with her, causing her to miss such a wonderful show.
But this time it's different. This time it's someone she knows well. In that case, she can naturally get the first, fresh, hot gossip!
Thinking of this, Li Tingxue couldn't help but laugh again...
By evening, they should all know!
Hmph, they'll be so jealous they'll die.
Shen Xiuyan, Shen Xiujin, Gu Yunchen, Zhou Jingyao, Guan Lingshuang: "..."
Are you... really that serious?
Li Tingxue: Of course, of course!
I just want to be the first to know, so what? Go ahead and try it yourselves!
The incompetent Shen Xiuyan, Shen Xiujin, Gu Yunchen, Zhou Jingyao, and Guan Lingshuang: "..."
Is it really that they don't want to be the first to know about this explosive gossip?
No, no, no—that's not actually the case.
Shen Xiuyan smiled broadly at Li Tingxue and said, "Wife, when you come back, you must bring all those things back and tell me about them, don't forget!"
Li Tingxue glared at him and yelled, "Get out! Get out! Get out!"
Seeing his wife's eye-roll, Shen Xiuyan found it even more amusing. In front of everyone, he shamelessly grabbed Li Tingxue's hand and coaxed her softly, "Oh, honey, don't be angry. I love you the most..."
Hearing Shen Xiuyan's coquettish pleading, Li Tingxue remained unmoved, coldly snorting and retorting, "Hmph, what's the use of just talking? Who knows if you're sincere!"
Seeing this, Shen Xiuyan quickly patted his chest and assured her, "How could that be, wife? I just heard that Ni Chang Pavilion has launched a particularly beautiful new piece of jewelry. How about I go and buy it for you first thing tomorrow morning?"
Before she could finish speaking, a satisfied smile finally appeared on Li Tingxue's face, and she replied coquettishly, "Mmm, that's more like it!"
The onlookers, seeing the two of them showing affection as if no one else was around, all looked helpless and shook their heads with sighs.
Shen Xiujin couldn't help but complain, "Hey, hey, hey, can you two be a little more mindful of your image? This blatant display of affection is just too much!"
"That's right, we're still unmarried kids! Why don't I pay attention to you guys?"
Isn't there anyone who will take care of them?
This is simply unbearable!
Where is my mother?!
Qin Ru: Oh, it's Old Madam Hou! She's probably reading a storybook in her room right now. Even if she finds out, she probably won't care. She'll just scold you bunch of single dogs.
"Achoo!" Jiang Mianmian, who was engrossed in reading a storybook, suddenly sneezed, rubbed her nose, and muttered, "I wonder who's been nagging me."
After saying that, she immediately went back to reading.
The chattering group immediately deflated, sighing in unison, "Well, in that case, let's just end this gathering as soon as possible! If we stay any longer, we might get indigestion and ruin our stomachs tonight!"
So everyone scattered like birds and beasts, leaving only Shen Xiuyan and Li Tingxue still immersed in their own world, continuing their sweet and affectionate moments.

Time flew by, and two days passed in the blink of an eye. Finally, Li Tingxue and Lin Jinyue agreed to have tea at the Fuchun Restaurant.
When Li Tingxue stepped into the restaurant, her gaze was immediately drawn to Lin Jinyue, who was sitting by the window.
Lin Jinyue sat quietly, but looking at her slightly haggard face, one could tell that she might have encountered some troubles recently.
Li Tingxue walked quickly to the table and asked softly with concern, "Jinyue, are you... are you alright?"
Lin Jinyue gently shook her head, about to answer, when her gaze suddenly fell on the person who had come with Li Tingxue. She couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Tingxue, who is this...?"
Li Tingxue slapped her forehead, suddenly realizing, "Oh, my memory is terrible, I completely forgot to introduce you. This is my mother-in-law."
Upon hearing this, Lin Jinyue quickly stood up, bowed, and greeted her, "Madam Hou, hello!"
Although she was full of questions and couldn't understand why Li Tingxue had invited her to meet, she had even brought her mother-in-law along.
However, Lin Jinyue did not show it on her face, and continued to speak politely to Jiang Mianmian with a smile.
However, when Lin Jinyue carefully examined Li Tingxue's mother-in-law, she couldn't help but be secretly amazed.
She knew that the woman in front of her was the Lady of Xuanhua Marquis's Mansion. She had only heard of her name but never seen her in person. She was really surprised to see her today!
To her surprise, Li Tingxue's mother-in-law looked so young, with skin as smooth as silk, like a young woman in her late teens. If she ever had the chance, she would definitely ask her for her beauty secrets.
At this moment, Jiang Mianmian responded to Lin Jinyue's greeting with a smile, but her bright eyes unconsciously stared at the "big label" above Lin Jinyue's head, and a hint of curiosity flashed in her eyes.
