Card: I Rebuild Five Thousand Years of Chinese Civilization in Another World

Chapter 83 Madam Hou

He hoped that Xie Yuchen could answer his questions.

However, Xie Yuchen did not answer him directly. He sincerely said to Sun Shize, "It's best for you to know nothing."

“I don’t think Yu Lin will give up on finding the Celestial Card Maker; he will definitely come looking for you again.”

“In the coming period, not only Yu Lin will be looking for you in Tiansheng City, but people from various major forces will also be trying to find out about the Heavenly Maiden Card Maker.”

"I hope you can continue to stand by your beliefs as you have today."

Sun Shize and Sun Xiaoxiao then realized the seriousness of the situation.

After a moment of contemplation, Sun Shize solemnly said to Xie Yuchen, "You saved us along the way, and we are not ungrateful people. I know what to say."

Sun Shize and Xie Yuchen are about the same age. After spending time together, Xie Yuchen has come to approve of his character.

He patted Sun Shize on the chest and said, "You're a good person. I'll be your friend."

Sun Shize was pleasantly surprised; it was also a stroke of luck for him to be able to make friends with the younger brother of the celestial maiden card maker.

“Okay! I’ll be your friend too,” Sun Shize said.

Xie Yuchen said regretfully, "This is my first time in Tiansheng City, and my sister and I haven't found a place to stay yet, so we don't have any contact information."

"I'll come find you after the college starts."

Sun Shize nodded and said, "Okay!"

After bidding farewell to Sun Shize, Xie Yuchen returned to Xie Yuwei's carriage.

The two teams parted ways here.

Tie Shanhe led the armed guards of Zhoushan Town and Xie Yuwei away, while the yamen runners of Shuangbai Town followed Sun Shize.

They set off again, and Tie Shanhe personally drove for Xie Yuwei and the others.

As he drove the carriage into the city, he said to Xie Yuwei, "The Marquis has already arranged accommodations for you. I will take you there now."

“Okay!” Xie Yuwei said.

So far, the person Xie Yuwei trusts most in this world is Manager Huang.

Manager Huang was able to arrange accommodation for her, which saved her a lot of trouble.

Tiansheng City was very large. It took Tieshanhe an hour to drive his carriage into the city center.

At this hour, Xie Yuchen and Xie Yufei were looking out the window at the street, and they were tired of looking at it.

"Tiansheng City is huge!" Xie Yufei said with a yawn.

They had lived in Nanwen Village since childhood and had never seen the outside world. The various sights of Tiansheng City were like a journey to another world to them.

Tieshanhe drove the carriage through the city center for the time it takes to burn an incense stick before turning into an alley.

After walking for another fifteen minutes in the alley, they finally stopped in front of a courtyard.

"We've arrived!" Tie Shanhe said to Xie Yuwei inside the carriage.

Xie Yuwei and her two siblings climbed out of the carriage and saw an ordinary house.

Tie Shanhe went up and knocked on the door, and the gate of the mansion was quickly opened from the inside.

A smiling woman walked out of the gate. She was dressed elegantly and appropriately, and her whole demeanor exuded dignity and nobility, making it clear at a glance that she was of extraordinary status.

Xie Yuwei and her two siblings were very surprised when they saw her.

"Lady Li?" Xie Yuwei exclaimed in surprise.

Her attire at this time was completely different from when she was in Zhoushan Town.

It's the same face, but back in Zhoushan Town, she was the owner of a general store.

At this moment—she was like a dignified matriarch.

Xie Yuwei had a sudden inspiration: she was Manager Huang's wife, and Manager Huang was the Marquis of Weiyuan, so wouldn't she be the Marquis's wife?
Looking at Madam Li's dignified smiling face, Xie Yuwei exclaimed in surprise, "Madam Hou?"

Lady Li, whose real name was Li Qiyu, also known as Lady Hou, walked up to Xie Yuwei and her two siblings.

Hearing Jie Yuwei call her, she gently tapped Jie Yuwei's forehead and said:
“Your mother and I are good friends. You can call me Auntie or Aunt Yu from now on. It’s too formal for you to call me Madam Hou.”

Xie Yuwei called out sensibly, "Auntie!"

Xie Yuchen and Xie Yufei also called out, following Xie Yuwei's lead, "Auntie!"

Li Qiyu patted their heads affectionately and said to them, "This is the courtyard that your Uncle Huang specially found for you. I'll take you inside for a tour."

Of course, Xie Yuwei wouldn't go against her wishes.

Before entering the courtyard, Li Qiyu said to Tie Shanhe and the others, "The Marquis has arranged another place for you to stay. You can rest in Tiansheng City tonight and go back tomorrow."

Tie Shanhe looked at Xie Yuwei with some worry.

The three siblings are only teenagers. Can they really survive in Tiansheng City?

Li Qiyu noticed Tie Shanhe's worry and said to him, "The Marquis has already arranged everything for them, so you don't need to worry about them."

Tie Shanhe thought about Manager Huang's identity, and with General Ming secretly protecting them, they should be fine.

“Little niece, we’ll head back now. If you need any help in Tiansheng City, just write back and let us know. No matter how busy we are, we’ll definitely come to your aid.”

Tie Shanhe said to Xie Yuwei.

Xie Yuwei did not expect that they would have to part ways with Tie Shanhe at this time.

Remembering what she had promised them, she stepped forward and gave him more than ten Golden Bell Shields.

"These are the cards we agreed to give you as compensation, Uncle Tie, please take them." Xie Yuwei handed him the cards and said.

Tie Shanhe knew the value of these cards, and he accepted them without hesitation.

After thinking for a moment, Xie Yuwei gave each of them an extra costume card.

Tieshanhe accepted it with delight.

This mission was truly worthwhile. Not only could they receive a mission reward at the county government office, but they also received compensation from Lord Hou and General Ming, and finally, a reward from Xie Yuwei.

What a mission, I got paid four times over!
Tie Shanhe, accompanied by more than ten armed men, drove the remaining two carriages to the resting place arranged for them by Manager Huang.

Xie Yuwei and her two siblings followed Li Qiyu into the courtyard, which looked ordinary but was actually luxurious.

-

After Yu Lin and Li Xuanze parted ways with Xie Yuwei and the others at the city gate, they did not return to their original group. Instead, they went back to the prefect's residence and reported everything to the prefect.

Knowing that the celestial maiden card maker was suspected of being involved, the prefect began a full-scale investigation.

Regardless of who those mysterious card spirit masters are, or who the celestial card maker is, he must find out.

-

On the outskirts of Tiansheng City, dozens of students who had escaped from Yulin Valley finally returned to Tiansheng City the next morning after a day's journey.

From the moment they entered Tiansheng City, everyone in the city knew that a mysterious card spirit master was going to extract the students' qi sea for his own use.

Their escape from the mysterious Card Master is suspected to be due to the intervention of the Celestial Card Maker.

This news caused a stir in Tiansheng City, with everyone speculating about the identity of the Heavenly Maiden Card Maker.

Thank you for the votes, goodnight!
