The transmigrated wife is crazy and ruthless.

Chapter 42 That little girl has some skills

To understand the connection between Yang Xingmi and Caiyu, we must start with his background.

Yang Xingmi's ancestors were farmers for generations, and he was previously a powerless and insignificant person.

After many twists and turns, he arrived at a small village in Luzhou, where he saw a very beautiful parrot. The villagers all said that this parrot was a lucky gift from heaven.

Not only is Aya beautiful, but she is also intelligent and quick-witted. She can imitate human language and even sing beautiful songs.

It became the darling of the village, attracting many villagers to come and admire it every day. Children especially loved to gather around it, listening to it talk and sing.

Yang Xingmi decided to stay in the village to study this amazing parrot.

Yang Xingmi was a person who loved nature and animals, and he developed a strong interest in Caiyu.

The village elders told him that there was a legend about the Rainbow Feather: it was said to have been transformed from a fairy and came to the human world to bring peace and happiness.

As long as people have good intentions, the colorful feathers will bring them good luck. Hearing this legend, Yang Xingmi became even more curious about the colorful feathers.

He began to carefully observe Caiyu's living habits and record its every move.

Caiyu seemed to have taken a liking to him as well, often flying to his shoulder and talking to him in its clear voice. Gradually, Yang Xingmi discovered that Caiyu was not only beautiful in appearance, but also possessed a special kind of magic.

Whenever someone in the village falls ill or encounters difficulties, Rainbow Feather flies to that person's side, comforting them with its gentle voice and bringing them hope and courage.

One day, a plague broke out in the village, and many villagers contracted the disease. Everyone was in a panic, not knowing how to deal with this disaster.

Caiyu came to Yang Xingmi's side, repeatedly calling out, "Come with me, come with me..."

Yang Xingmi followed Caiyu as they walked, and under her guidance, they arrived in the mountains. Caiyu stopped, and Yang Xingmi saw vast stretches of grassland in the mountains, one of which was covered with unusual wildflowers.

Caiyu kept flapping her wings, calling out, "Take it down, take it down!"

Following Caiyu's instructions, Yang Xingmi picked wild chrysanthemums, and then he followed Caiyu to pick honeysuckle and other herbs used to treat the plague.

Yang Xingmi returned to the village and, following Caiyu's simple instructions, brewed various herbs and fed them to the villagers.

Soon after, the sick villagers miraculously recovered their health.

The villagers exclaimed that Caiyu had truly brought good luck and peace, and they also revered Yang Xingmi as a deity. As a result, many villagers reported the matter to the government.

He then began to rise to prominence in officialdom. In order to stabilize the court, Yang Xingmi married the sister of a fierce general named Zhu Yanshou.

After that, he took the eight-colored feathers back to his mansion and carefully raised them.

In his view, it was Caiyu who brought him good fortune in his official career. What he found unbelievable was that Qiu Ziyue later became Caiyu's master.

Of course, this is something.

At that moment, at Yang Xingmi's residence, Zhu Yanshou saw that Yang Xingmi seemed to treat a parrot better than him, which made him somewhat angry. So he hurriedly left Yang Yanshou's place and returned to his own residence.

He kicked open the study door, strode in, and slammed the door shut behind him.

"My lord, what's wrong?" A guard saw this and quickly stepped forward to ask.

Zhu Yanshou slammed his fist on the table and said angrily, "Yang Xingmi is such an ungrateful wretch! I've done so much for him, and he's not even happy when I call him brother-in-law. It's ridiculous!"

The guard was startled and dared not say anything, simply standing silently to the side.

Zhu Yanshou took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, and slowly sat down, his gaze cold and stern.

"Go and summon all my trusted confidants; I'm going to hold a secret meeting in a little while."

"Yes, sir." The guard responded and withdrew, quickly relaying the order.

Zhu Yanshou secretly summoned some trusted generals and officials, promising them high-ranking positions and generous salaries, and trying to win them over to become his confidants.

At the same time, he secretly bribed many martial arts masters, preparing to use them for his own purposes and have them serve him.

At that moment, several of Zhu Yanshou's trusted generals and advisors arrived at the study.

"My lord, in recent days, Qiu Ziyue has risen to fame and is very popular. Even the five major sects and gangs combined cannot defeat her. What do you think?" an advisor asked.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yanshou smiled slightly and said, "Hmm, that little girl Qiu Ziyue is indeed quite capable. Not only is she exceptionally talented, but she is also quite courageous and resourceful."

Seeing that Zhu Yanshou seemed to be in a good mood when he mentioned Qiu Ziyue, his confidants tentatively asked, "Sir, do you think she can be of use to us in the future?"

Zhu Yanshou's eyes flickered, and the corners of his mouth turned up: "It should be fine, she seems to be a loyal and righteous person."

"So how should we win her over?" the confidant continued to ask.

Zhu Yanshou pondered for a moment and then slowly said, "First, we can give her some key information at an appropriate time so that she can feel our goodwill and support. At the same time, we should send people to protect her safety so that she knows we genuinely want to help her."

"Understood, sir."

The guard nodded in agreement, "I will make the arrangements to ensure everything goes smoothly."

After the guards left, Zhu Yanshou got up and walked to the window, gazing into the distance.

As dusk fell, Qiu Ziyue returned to her residence to participate in the evening's dance extra round, changing her clothes from a simple practice sweatshirt to ordinary women's clothing.

The setting sun cast its rays on the streets of Huainan, adding a touch of mystery to this ancient city.

Zhu Yanshou, accompanied by several trusted confidants, quietly arrived at the inn where Qiu Ziyue was staying.

He changed into casual clothes, trying his best not to attract attention.

Upon entering the inn, Zhu Yanshou handed over a visiting card, requesting a private visit to Qiu Ziyue.

When Qiu Ziyue and her three senior brothers saw that the invitation was signed by Zhu Yanshou, the military governor of Fengguo, they knew that this person was no ordinary person, so they could not refuse and agreed to meet.

Zhu Yanshou went straight to Qiu Ziyue's room and gently knocked on the door.

A moment later, the door opened, and Qiu Ziyue appeared in the doorway. Upon seeing Zhu Yanshou, she was slightly taken aback: "Lord Zhu, may I ask what business you have with me?"

Zhu Yanshou smiled and said, "Miss Qiu, there are some things I need to tell you in person. May I come in and talk to you?"

Miss Qiu nodded, stepped aside, and welcomed Zhu Yanshou into the house. She invited Zhu Yanshou to sit down and poured him a cup of tea.

Zhu Yanshou took the teacup, took a small sip, and slowly said, "Miss Qiu, I've come today to tell you some important news."

Seeing Zhu Yanshou's solemn expression, Qiu Ziyue felt a vague unease: "Lord Zhu, please speak."

“Recently, I’ve received some intelligence,” Zhu Yanshou said in a deep voice, “The five major sects and several gangs seem to be dissatisfied with you, and they are plotting against you. Although the specific plans are not yet clear, you must be careful.”

Qiu Ziyue frowned, feigning shock at the news: "Why are the five major sects and gangs targeting me? I haven't offended them."

Zhu Yanshou sighed: "Things in the martial arts world are complex and unpredictable, and sometimes they don't need a reason. Perhaps it's because you performed too well in the competition, arousing their jealousy. In any case, you must be extra careful now and protect yourself."

Qiu Ziyue bit her lip, a determined glint in her eyes: "Thank you for the reminder, Lord Zhu. I will be extra careful. Do you have any suggestions?"

Zhu Yanshou nodded: "First, you need to strengthen your own protection. I have a black iron token here. If you need the protection of the government, you can use this token. Second, I will send people to protect you secretly to ensure your safety. If you encounter any danger, you can ask me for help at any time."

Qiu Ziyue nodded gratefully: "Thank you for your concern and support, Lord Zhu. I will keep your advice in mind."

Zhu Yanshou stood up and patted her on the shoulder: "Miss Qiu, you are a rare talent, and you will surely achieve great things in the future. I have high hopes for you, and I hope you will be safe and sound."

Qiu Ziyue bowed again to express her gratitude: "Thank you, sir. I will work even harder to live up to your expectations."

Zhu Yanshou smiled, turned around and left the room.

As night fell, his figure gradually disappeared around the street corner.

Qiu Ziyue returned to her room and began to carefully consider how to deal with the impending crisis.

Zhao Wanqing is being targeted by the five major sects and five major gangs. How should she deal with this?
