Chapter 436: Receiving Gifts

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

It was time to open the gift happily again. Little All Yu was extremely excited.

This time, not only were there gifts from the people who gave her gifts last year, but there were also Doctor Wu’s family from Nanhe Town, the Qu family from Yongding County, Fuji Temple, Duke An Manor and Madam Qin, the maternal grandfather of Murong Run from Tonghua County, the Ye Family from West Wind Nation, the Ouyang Family from the General’s Estate, and the Ouyang Family from the Imperial Family…

Some gifts were sent over with great fanfare, while some had hidden their identities.

The gifts were like a competition, each more precious than the last.

Initially, Liu Shi was afraid that Little Ah Yu would be tired and was still opening the gifts in the house when she heard Old Madam Wang say, “That’s a hundred-year-old ginseng. It looks alright and is worth 300 to 500 taels… Deep-sea Shark Pearl, 2,000 taels… A Baina Treasure Robe enhanced by a formless cloth. It’s priceless…”

Liu Shi’s hands trembled uncontrollably.

Even the bottle that looked like a child’s plaything was a special glass hairpin vase made by an official. Its value would drop by 800 taels if even a tiny crack was formed on it.

…..

She was almost numb to these prices.

“Mother, are you lying to your daughter-in-law?” Liu Shi’s voice was trembling.

Old Madam Wang glanced at Little Ah Yu, who was still opening the gifts. She did not even raise her eyebrows. “Yes, 1 was lying to you.”

“Mother, this hairpin is so beautiful!” Little Ah Yu found a silver hairpin and placed it by her ear before giving it to Liu Shi. “Mother, it’ll look good on you!”

Liu Shi hurriedly took it down. “This is for you. Keep it well and put it inside.”

Just thinking about the price of these things made Liu Shi’s heart tremble.

On second thought, it was because Ah Yu was so lovable and kind.

She had already helped countless people. Even she was willing to use everything to prepare a gift for her.

“I can’t use it all. I have to wear so many good-looking jewelry and finish eating all the delicious food. Oh, oh, oh, and there are also medicinal herbs. I can’t plant these. I can give some to Grandpa Divine Doctor and Big Brother Xiao Tong!”

Little All Yu chattered, trying her best to recognize those she could recognize.

Liu Shi went to look at Old Madam Wang. “Mother, these things—”

“Since it’s for Ah Yu, she can decide how to deal with it.” It was not that the little fellow did not understand. Those that she wanted to give away were things that her family could not use, and she did not like them very much.

She would keep the expensive and eye-catching ones for herself.

Little All Yu finally found what she wanted the most among the gifts.

“Wow, I found Big Brother All You’s gift!” Little All Yu was very happy. There were too many people today, and gifts of all sizes were piled up in the storeroom. Ordinary people’s gifts were all placed together in the big storeroom, and those given by people with status were piled up in the small storeroom.

Qin Huai’s was also mixed in.

Opening one of the layers of wrapped jade boxes, she was surprised to see a lifelike grass inside.

It was naturally the sound transmission grass that Little Ah Yu had already planted.

It came from the already vanquished Eastern Desert Kingdom. After it matured, the grass could transmit sound. It was a one-time use item.

After the two little fellows had this, their letters were not so thick anymore.

“Take your time. I’ll go greet the other guests first.” Liu Shi stood up with a smile.

Old Madam Wang followed her out and even closed the door gently. She said to Tang Yuan, who was guarding the door, “If she doesn’t call for you, don’t disturb her.”

Tang Yuan: “Yes.”

As soon as Little All Yu opened the voice transmission grass, she heard Qin Huai’s voice coming from it.

The young man’s voice was still youthful, but it carried an indescribable calmness.

[Ah Yu, if nothing unexpected happens, today will be your birthday. Big Brother Ah You can’t celebrate for you personally, so don’t blame me. I hope you liked the gift I gave you. Tonight, I have prepared another gift for you, but I’ve opened it on your behalf. May you live a peaceful life and have no worries in this life.]

At this moment, Wanning City’s Zhao Prison was like an Asura Hall.

In the deepest part, a woman covered in blood and no longer recognizable as a human was chained to the walls. Her head hung down silently.

It was as if she was dead.

“Xie Changting.” Qin Huai’s cold voice sounded in the darkness.

“I came to send you on your way..”
