The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Chapter 1775 Lu Si Niang is back

Cheng Feng was tall and had good eyesight. He carefully examined the face of the person at the front of the caravan and whispered to Wan Lianxing, "It really is Lu Si Niang who has returned."

Where did this person go?

"They've gone to avenge Li Lao Er." The horse caravan ahead was getting closer, and now they could see it more clearly. "Uncle, the one a little behind Lu Si Niang is Cang Man. My sister sent him to help Lu Si Niang."

Wan Lianxing saw it too. He unfolded his fan to cover the lower half of his face because he could see the human heads hanging on the horses. Although they were no longer dripping blood, they were still unlucky and unsightly.

At this moment, whispers began to circulate among the crowd. Everyone knew that Li Lao Er had lost his life to save a high-ranking official and had been enshrined in the Ancestral Shrine, gaining a good reputation. Everyone also knew that the day after Li Lao Er's burial, Lu Si Niang, the head of the Bao Xiang Escort Agency, led various escorts on a long journey, ostensibly to escort goods. However, they were gone for more than two months. Just when everyone was gradually fading from his memory, he returned, bringing with him hundreds of heads.

The atmosphere within the caravan was somber. The guards' faces were grim and heavy, tinged with lingering murderous intent, causing everyone to instinctively back away.

Everyone has probably seen dead people, but human heads, especially so many, are truly horrifying and send chills down your spine.

Those closer to the caravan, some with sharp eyes, exclaimed, “These are the heads of the Yato people! Look at their features—thick eyebrows and broad faces. They’re not us beggars; they’re Yato people!”

Someone else said, "Oh dear, it seems that Lu Si Niang has gone to avenge Li Lao Er. This great revenge has been achieved!"

Immediately, the crowd erupted in chatter and discussion.

The old steward standing behind Wan Lianxing was completely blocked by the tall Wan Lianxing and Cheng Feng, and even standing on tiptoe he couldn't see what was in front of him. He asked Cheng Feng, "Isn't Lu Si Niang pregnant? How is the baby?"

Cheng Feng looked at Lu Siniang's waistline and saw that there was no longer a child in her belly. Then he saw that Lu Siniang was carrying a cloth bag diagonally across her body and laughed, "The child should be carried in a cloth bag!"

The old steward nodded, his tone revealing his admiration for Lu Si Niang, "Mother and child are safe, the great revenge has been achieved, good!"

Wan Lianxing nodded slightly, "What a wonderful woman, so kind and righteous! It's just that Dong Qing is unlucky!"

Then the group completely disappeared into the crowd, left Zhu Jin Street, boarded a carriage, and headed south towards the Crown Prince's residence.

Cheng Youning had timed it perfectly and was waiting at the door early, with Nirvana King Hong Yunrang standing beside her.

"Grandpa, Father, why did it take you so long to arrive? My brother and I have been waiting for so long!"

Upon seeing the visitor, Hong Yunrang immediately greeted him, saying, "Yunrang greets the Imperial Grandfather and the Imperial Uncle."

"Rise!" Wan Lianxing glanced at the open vermilion gate and saw no one else besides a few servants. "So, you're the only ones I invited?"

Cheng Youning said with a smile, "I was afraid that Grandpa would feel uncomfortable with too many people, so I didn't invite any outsiders. I invited my father and brother to keep him company, also because I was afraid that Grandpa would feel uncomfortable."

Wan Lianxing glanced at the precocious Cheng Youning and said in a tone that seemed to be praising him, "You do know how to get things done."

As soon as Wan Lianxing entered the courtyard, he stopped in his tracks, staring at the roof tiles in disbelief. "Who chose the color for these tiles?"

Cheng Youning shook his head: "Grandpa provided the money and labor, but I don't know anything about it. This is what it looks like after it was done. Grandpa, isn't my Crown Prince's residence beautiful?"

"This color..."

Before Wan Lianxing could think of the right words to continue, he heard the old steward beside him chuckling, "Your Majesty, this is your order. You came to the Crown Prince's residence and said it was too dull, so you ordered that the roof tiles be replaced with glazed tiles, preferably the brightest colors. When the glazed tile factory learned of Your Majesty's order, they worked through the night to fire bright glazed tiles, and those are the very tiles on the roof of the Crown Prince's residence!"

Wan Lianxing was dumbfounded. This was far too bright. The colorful, reflective glazed tiles gave people an unreal feeling. Wan Lianxing felt that this was not a place for people to live.

Cheng Youning liked it, "Grandpa really understands his grandson. He knows that his grandson likes beautiful roofs. I like these colorful glazed tiles!"

Wan Lianxing secretly tugged at the corner of his mouth, "As long as my grandson is happy."

"Grandson likes it! Grandfather, please come to the main hall for tea."

Five or six maids were waiting there, ready to prepare tea for the Emperor when he arrived.

Wan Lianxing looked at the snacks prepared for him. Although they were all small things that Cheng Youning usually liked to chew on, it was still a testament to the child's thoughtfulness.

They had all had morning tea before leaving, so no one was thirsty. After drinking a cup of tea, Cheng Youning insisted on taking them to visit his Crown Prince's residence. The halls and buildings were nothing special, so Cheng Youning took them directly to the animal garden, where his tigers were kept.

Da Hu was already a fully grown male tiger, with a huge body, over three meters long, and a head as big as a basket.

Wan Lianxing was somewhat shocked, "It's already this big?"

Cheng Youning nimbly jumped into the fence, proudly hugged the tiger's neck, and patted its head. "Among tigers, it's considered huge! It can eat ten pounds of meat in one meal. It hasn't eaten today, so I'll feed it."

As he spoke, Cheng Youning instructed a servant to throw a duck into the tiger's enclosure. The duck quacked twice before the tiger gutted it. This was a wild duck, capable of flight, and it was captured alive by the tiger just like that; its hunting speed was astonishing!

Then he had someone throw him a pheasant. To catch it, the tiger leaped higher than the fence, and without a doubt, the pheasant became the tiger's meal.

Wan Lianxing nodded: "Indeed, it is the king of beasts! However, the palace servants in your residence must be careful when feeding the tiger, lest it injure them."

"Don't worry, Grandpa, I understand." Cheng Youning knew what was going on. As the tiger grew, the fence had been raised countless times. At this height, the tiger couldn't get out; he had tried.

After watching the tiger, Cheng Youning brought out his little monkey to perform. The little monkey was good at many things, and playing gongs and drums were the four monkeys' specialties. Before long, he could make everyone laugh so hard they were doubled over.

Having grown accustomed to song and dance performances, Wan Lianxing was in high spirits watching the animal show. He didn't hold back in praising Cheng Youning, but he didn't compliment anything else, only saying that he trained the animals well.

After showing everyone around for a while, Cheng Youning led them towards the hot spring. The blueprints were designed by his mother and the construction was overseen by the Chen brothers. Although it wasn't luxurious, anyone who saw it could be certain that this hot spring was unique in the world.

They were two enormous blue glass tanks. Although they were not made of a single piece of glass, with other building materials embedded in the middle, the water in the tanks was clearly visible through the glass, leaving everyone who saw them in awe.
