The whole weird world is waiting for me to go to heaven

Chapter 464: Moon Palace Jade Rabbit
A farce came to an end.

Everyone paid a hasty tribute to Miss Lu, who was already lying back in the coffin, and then gradually dispersed.

After offering incense, Cuicui asked softly, "Miss, should we go back now?"

Wen Weilan hesitated and nodded.

But she was still thinking, and vaguely felt that there seemed to be familiar traces here.

But just like trying to find something underneath a layer of gauze, she was always one layer short and couldn't figure out where this sense of familiarity came from.

Taking Cuicui with her, Wen Weilan walked out of the Lu family in silence.

At this moment, a chill passed by her silently.

Wen Weilan turned around and saw that it was the witch.

It seemed that everything was settled and she was about to leave.

Wen Weilan felt inexplicably uneasy and pulled Cuicui a few steps aside, trying to keep a distance from her.

However, the witch seemed to notice Wen Weilan because of this, and she stared at her with her slender eyes for a long time.

Cuicui subconsciously took a step forward, half of her body blocking Wen Weilan, and trembling with nervousness.

"Ha ha……"

The witch laughed softly, and her laughter was like wind carrying sand and dust.

The silver eyes hidden in the cracks stared at Wen Weilan's face, and his lips, like a line, split open a crack, uttering a word that made people feel cold.

"You seem to have lost something very important."

The voice was hissing, stirring Wen Weilan's nerves like a snake's tongue.

Wen Weilan was shocked.

This feeling has been lingering in her heart for a day, but it still won't go away.

She hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help asking: "Can I... ask, what did I lose?"

The witch's lips curled up, and interest appeared on her icy face.

"Think carefully, what are your abilities?"

The witch's voice floated in the air, and then her snow-white figure gracefully disappeared, gradually melting into the corner of the street and disappearing.

"My ability? My ability... isn't it?" Wen Weilan stood there in a daze, muttering to himself.

"Miss, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me..."

Cuicui nervously tugged at Wen Weilan's sleeve to get her attention back.

"Nothing." Wen Weilan came back to her senses and shook her head.

"Miss, I'll go back to Qingyun Pavilion to see what the situation is. If that doesn't work, I'll send you home to rest... It's okay to take a day off from the National Academy." Cuicui saw that Wen Weilan's face was still not very good, and said with concern.

"No, you go ahead and do your work. I'll go back to the academy by myself."

Seeing that Cuicui was still frowning, Wen Weilan said, "I saw the message from Miss Liu that the Skynet plan has basically been finalized, but now Hongfutang has also intervened. We have to prepare everything and can't let them laugh at us."

"Alas, I originally thought we could bypass Hongfu Hall...but I didn't expect that they would still interfere." Cuicui said dissatisfiedly.

"There's nothing I can do. I haven't established a firm foothold yet at the beginning, so it's good to borrow the momentum of Hong Fu Tang."

"What's more, the Skynet Project is too big a pie. If our two families were to take it all, although it's unclear how much manpower and resources it would take, it's still a stretch."

Wen Weilan shook her head and said jokingly: "My dowry can't support it!"

"That's true..." Cui Cui nodded sadly, temporarily suppressing her unhappiness, and said, "I'll go back and see if the venue and refining tools are ready. Kuang Bowen is back, so it's a good opportunity for me to go and settle him down."

"And Sister Liu Sheng introduced a weapon refining master who will come to work for us tomorrow..."

Hearing that everything was in order in Cuicui's mind, Wen Weilan felt relieved.

After Cuicui left, Wen Weilan was alone again.

It's rare that it's not too hot in Chang'an in July, and there's even a cool breeze blowing.

The witch's words were like a silk thread hanging in her heart, pulling at something heavy, but she just couldn't fish it out for the time being.

She was walking slowly on the streets of Chang'an, when suddenly two girls ran past her. One of the girls forcibly dragged the other, who was obviously very reluctant, to a stinky tofu stall on the street.

"I said I don't want to eat it! It stinks and tastes like that..." The reluctant girl was unable to utter that word due to her upbringing.

But the other girl insisted, smiling and saying, "No, no, you have to eat it! It's delicious! Don't always be so old-fashioned, like a..."

Unable to think of a suitable metaphor for a moment, the girl finally gave up and bought a portion of stinky tofu from the store.

As soon as she got the steaming stinky tofu that was drizzled with fragrant and spicy sauce and sprinkled with chopped green onions, chili peppers and coriander, she forced a piece of it into her friend's mouth.

The girl who was originally resistant frowned and took a bite, but soon her eyes lit up. "Well, I said it was delicious!"

"It's not that delicious, it just tastes... fresh." The girl replied unconvinced, but her expression had relaxed.

Wen Weilan didn't know why she stopped and looked for a long time.

I inexplicably felt that this scene was very familiar.

She vaguely remembered that there was once someone who also liked to take her to try all kinds of new food.

She never ate at street stalls, because she thought the tables and chairs were greasy, the food was not clean, and the ingredients were not top quality. But because of that person, Wen Weilan reluctantly followed him.

It seems that I have also been forced to eat stinky tofu, and I have also been told that I am too old-fashioned and stubborn and don’t accept new things…

Why would I accept it?

Wen Weilan suddenly felt a little strange to herself, and these vague fragments of memory were also strange. Could it be that they were really related to what the witch said she had lost?

While thinking, she unknowingly walked to Cangshuijian.

The OP knows a lot about what's going on in the world today, maybe he can talk to her about it?
Wen Weilan was about to go in, but saw a cloud sedan chair decorated with white flowers landing at the gate of Cangshuijian.

Two familiar figures walked out of the cloud sedan.

They were dressed in mourning clothes. A middle-aged woman supported an old woman and walked carefully into the Cangshui Stream.

Wen Weilan hid in the corner, her eyes fixed on the backs of the two people, wondering: Why are they here?

It seemed as if there was a silk thread slowly pulling in her mind, piecing the fragments together.

……

In the Cangshui stream, two women sat quietly in the water pavilion waiting.

Not long after, the bamboo curtain was lifted, and a plump woman in kitchen clothes walked in. She was the owner and cook of this place, Su Yuanyuan.

The two women immediately stood up and bowed deeply and respectfully: "Boss Su."

Su Yuanyuan smiled in return, holding a plate of freshly made snacks in her hand, which she gently placed on the table.

On the silver plate, surrounded by clouds and mist, there was a small tree ornament dotted with golden osmanthus flowers and emitting the fragrance of osmanthus, surrounded by two snow-white jade rabbits.

The rabbit body is made of soft glutinous rice balls, and the surface is sprinkled with fine coconut flakes, just like the fluff on the body of a jade rabbit. Its ears stand upright and its eyes are dotted with two red dots, making it look particularly lively.

"Try this, my new snack - Moon Palace Jade Rabbit, which I plan to release during the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Su Yuanyuan said this as she poured them a cup of hot tea.

However, faced with such exquisite snacks, the two had no appetite to taste them. They could only swallow them whole and give a few compliments.

Su Yuanyuan didn't care, she chuckled and asked, "Mrs. Lu, Madam Lu, is everything going well?"

Madam Lu and Ye Liuxian looked at each other and said, "Although Wen Xuanning was detained, Ling Yuke... has been cleared of suspicion for the time being."

Su Yuanyuan heard this and chuckled, "From this point of view... it's still a bit of a failure!"

"Boss Su! Please help us to explain in front of the host. It's not that we don't want to, but... a kid from the Jiang family suddenly showed up, and he even had the mirage from that night in his hand, which caught us off guard." Madam Lu said hurriedly with a hoarse voice.

But... I really didn't expect that Ling Yuke would wake up so early this time, Su Yuanyuan said thoughtfully.

Could it be... that they are taking action?

However, she quickly rejected this idea. If that were the case, Wen Xuanning would not be unaware of it.

"Could it be that Ling Fu discovered something?"

Su Yuanyuan frowned slightly, and was surprisingly at a loss as to the direction.

Madam Lu seized this opportunity and said in a tearful voice, "No matter who is behind this, we did exactly what you said. We used our reputation as a tomb-keeper for many years to borrow power from... there."

As she spoke, her chicken claw-like fingers trembled slightly and pointed upwards.

"And he even handed over both of our girls!"

"For the sake of our Lord's great cause, the Lu family... has done their best."

Old Madam Lu spoke with sobs, her face wrinkled into a ball, one hand clutching a tear-stained handkerchief, the other hand covering her chest as if she was in unbearable pain, looking extremely pitiful.

Ye Liuxian didn't even dare to say a word here and could only nod in agreement.

"Don't worry. The Lord has seen everything you have done for the Northern Divine Kingdom and for the emperors of the Tang Dynasty. When the time comes, when... it arrives, you will naturally be included in the list of officials and titles." Su Yuanyuan smiled calmly and comforted him.

The two of them were immediately overjoyed and shouted: "Long live the Lord, long live the Lord!"

Su Yuanyuan looked at the fanaticism and greed on their faces, a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, but her round face still looked harmonious.

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival wow wow wow wow☆｀☆
