Divorced by her husband's family and rejected by her own! She defiantly turned her life around

Qingwu stood in the courtyard, composed herself, and prepared to go out. Suddenly, her ears twitched, and a faint, almost imperceptible aura entered her ears. This was something only martial artists possessed; they were deliberately concealing their aura. In the past, she wouldn't have been able to detect such a weak aura.

Since drinking the water given to her by her master, she has broken through her martial arts bottleneck and her hearing and eyesight have become exceptionally sharp.

She carefully sensed that there were two people, and they were quite skilled. She pretended not to notice them, left the courtyard, and headed towards the empty houses.

She sensed someone following her. Her master had instructed her to conceal her strength, so she pretended not to know anything and acted like an ordinary citizen.

She went through all the empty houses, but there was nothing inside. She then walked around the wasteland and came back.

The guards followed him all the way but found nothing special about him, so they went back to meet up with the other person.

"How's it going? Any discoveries?"

"No, I followed that person all the way. She's just an ordinary woman, nothing special."

This family is just an ordinary family; what's there to monitor? They're living well, just lucky.

"You're right. Let's observe for two more days. If nothing happens, we'll leave. We can't waste our time here."

This family is all women, with only one man, and he's not very useful.

How could they possibly be involved with that mysterious assassin? I bet that mysterious person was watching when the Four Young Masters of Lingshui were harassing the women in that family.

It's not appropriate to kill people in broad daylight, so they took their lives at night. The methods used in these murders were all the same, and this mysterious person must be someone who hates evil and wants to punish the wicked and promote good.

To be honest, I can't bear to investigate someone like that.

Even if we find out, we're no match for him; that person's skills are unfathomable.

"Then what do you suggest we do?"

"Investigate however you need to, and deliver on time. We couldn't find anything before, so why should we be able to now? If the prefect blames us, we'll accept it. If we can't find it, do you think someone else can?"

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say." It was freezing cold outside, and the two of them were quite annoyed.

Qingwu returned home quietly. A wonderful aroma wafted through the yard. She took a deep breath and exclaimed dramatically, "Wow! It smells so good! What delicious food are they making?"

She walked towards the kitchen. "Master, I'm back. I've checked all the empty rooms outside; no one's there."

Qingwu gently tugged at her sleeve, blinked, and said, "Master, the young master is crying. Please go and comfort him!"

Liu Siyue knew she had something to say, "Mother, you all do your work first, I'll go check on Yao'er."

"Go quickly, you're not needed here. Just take good care of the children."

The two left the kitchen and came to the main room, where Qingwu whispered something in her ear.

"You did a good job. Let's just pretend nothing happened. They didn't notice anything and left on their own, saving themselves the trouble."

Liu Siyue did indeed go back to see the children. "Qingwu, go and call Qingling over. I also have something to give her."

"Master, you're not going to send that, are you?"

"Yes, she's definitely more generous than you, but you'll have to teach her how to dress."

"Master, perhaps it's better not to. I'm not capable of doing that kind of work."

"Look at you, so useless! How come you can't do it?"

"Go ahead, go ahead, call them over, I'll teach them, it's no big deal!"

Qingwu gently knocked on Qingling's door. "Qingling, are you inside?"

"Qingwu, I'm here, come in!"

"Qingling, what are you doing? Are you writing a book?"

"Well, I don't have much to do right now, so I'll write some articles for the ladies to read, so we don't have to spend money to buy them."

"Not only does Sister Qingling have a good memory, but she also writes beautifully."

"Sister Qingling, the master is looking for you."

Qingling put down her pen, stood up, and saw Qingwu with a mischievous grin on her face. "Qingwu, do you even know what kind of expression you have right now?"

"Huh? What kind of expression am I making?"

"A lecherous and sleazy expression."

Qingwu touched her face. "Do I have one?"

"Are you plotting something?"

"How could I dare? The master is really looking for you. You'd better leave quickly."

The two arrived at Liu Siyue's room. "Master, you wanted to see me?"

"Um.

"Ruyue and Ruxing, while you two went out to play, Mom made lots of delicious food in the kitchen."

"Alright, cousin, we're off."

Qingwu consciously closed the door and stood there watching Qingling suppress her laughter.

"Master, Qingwu is acting strange today. She's been looking at people with a lecherous gaze. Is this girl in love and thinking about getting married?"

Qingwu slapped Qingling with her hand, "Qingling, who's in love? Who wants to get married? Don't slander me, I don't want to get married at all!"

"Then why are you looking at me like that?"

"How have I ever seen you? I've always seen you this way!"

"You two stop arguing, Qingling, here's a little gift for you."

Qingling took the items, looking puzzled. "Master, what are these things for?"

"This is called underwear, also known as a bra. It's the same as the bellyband you're wearing. Try it on."

Although Qingling was from a prestigious family, she was not as pretentious as other young ladies. However, she still felt a little embarrassed by her attire and her face turned slightly red.

"Master, this clothing is indecent."

"What's so indecent about it? Who would know if it's worn underneath? It's just for my own comfort and appearance."

Qingling is quite quick to adapt to new things. "Okay, I'll go back to my room and try it."

"Try it here. This is your first time wearing this, so you might not know how to do it yet. Let me guide you."

"Yes, Sister Qingling, why don't you try it here and let the master help you?" Qingwu couldn't help but giggle.

"Oh, so that's why you've been acting so strangely today?"

"As a woman myself, what's so funny about this?"

She was someone who had experienced things, unlike Qingwu, who was a naive girl who knew nothing.

"Qingwu, did you hear that? Qingling is much more knowledgeable and generous than you, unlike you, who looks like a thief in your underwear."

Liu Siyue helped Qingling put on her bra. "How does it feel?"

"It feels great. It lifts up my whole chest, making my chest firmer. I feel more energetic. It's much more comfortable than wearing a bellyband."

I just started wearing them, so I'm still a little unaccustomed to them, but I'm sure I'll become inseparable from them once I get used to them.

"Qingwu, this is a good thing. This is the master's favorite. What are you still being coy about?"

Let me see you!

Qingling gave a wicked smile, her gaze towards Qingwu filled with ill intent.

Qingwu caught her gaze, then swiftly opened the door and ran away.

Liu Siyue and Qingling were laughing so hard in the room, it scared her.

"Master, this underwear is really nice. It's the first time I've ever seen something like this. You could make some to sell."

"Do you think anyone would like this stuff? I'm afraid that if I open a shop and hang these things up, people will see them and call me indecent, promiscuous, and immoral. They might even say worse things."

There might even be some extreme individuals who would throw rotten eggs and vegetable scraps at me, or pour excrement into my shop—anything to prevent me from doing business.

"Master, how can this be sold openly? It must be sold secretly!"

In fact, the ladies of noble families in the inner quarters pay great attention to their figures. They will openly and brazenly dislike and belittle others, and even look down on others for buying such things. However, they will secretly buy them in private. Who doesn't want to be favored by men and use novelty to win their hearts?

I understand the thoughts of these women in the inner quarters very well. They put on a good show of politeness, but behind the scenes they're constantly making underhanded moves.
