The Whole Village Thrives After Adopting a Lucky Girl

At night, Yingbao crawled into the bamboo shed and got busy.

First, she moved the earthen jars from the cave house one by one to the shelves in the bamboo shed, and then collected some empty jars into the cave house.

When she finished these tasks, she washed her hands and returned to the room to sleep.

Lying on the warm heated floor, she closed her eyes and entered the cave house.

The crops in the cave house were mature and she had harvested most of them, leaving a small portion unharvested.

She didn’t plan to harvest the crops tonight, but searched all around for Wudingzhi on the cave walls.

She had used most of this strange thing, and only a pitiful little bit was left.

Yingbao decided not to use it anymore until she could set up a cloud ladder to reach the top of the cave, then she’d use the remaining Wudingzhi.

After all, she had nearly prepared all of the medicines she was supposed to, even the portion for Wu Daozi was ready.

Walking around the pool once, Yingbao squinted at the glowing object at the middle.

At first glance, the thing looked like a small sun, but on closer inspection, it looked more like a glowing stone. She wasn’t sure whether it was hot or not.

Perhaps she should send a gourd boat to the center to check?

No sooner said than done.

Yingbao selected a few large gourds with vines, dragged them together and twisted them into a gourd boat.

Five large gourds were tightly connected side by side, sturdy and well balanced, with no risk of tipping over.

Yingbao sat in the middle of the gourd, using a shovel as a paddle. Before long, she arrived next to the glowing object.

This object, although it glowed, didn’t seem to burn people. When she got close, she didn’t feel much heat either.

While paddling, Yingbao circled around the smooth and shiny glowing object.

Suddenly, she noticed a small oval door on the glowing object, which looked like the moon gate in the garden of a rich family.

Yingbao hesitated for a moment, but couldn’t resist her strong curiosity, so she slowly approached the small door.

She poked the small door with the shovel, but there was no response, like poking into a bunch of cotton.

Yingbao became more curious, she put down the shovel and reached out to touch it.

Suddenly, the glowing object burst into a bright light, blinding her.

Yingbao instinctively closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, she found herself in a foggy place.

What…

Why does it look like the place she saw in her dreams?

Sure enough, a huge book slowly appeared in front of her, with the pages flipping rapidly.

Shockingly, Yingbao stepped forward and held the book down with her hand.

The pages stopped moving then, but the words inside were still jumping around so much that it was impossible to read them.

When Yingbao removed her hand, the pages slowly closed. The words “Qian

Palace Sweet Charm” were still on the cover.

“What the hell is this?”

A book with freely jumping characters was something she had never seen before.

Looking around, she could only see thick fog everywhere, she couldn’t see what was around her at all.

Returning to the book again, she stood in silence for a moment before forcefully flipping open the first page.

This time, the words on the page no longer jumped around, but the contents were entirely different from what she had seen earlier.

The first chapter told of Chen Tiantian’s mother and Chen Zhao’s mother being framed and thrown into jail, and later being saved by a nobleman.

This nobleman was none other than the head of the Wei family in the

Prefecture City.

Yingbao frowned.

She knew about the Wei family. In the future, they were involved in the competition between the three princes. Their power was not to be underestimated.

Since they were involved in a rebellion, they should have either manpower or money.

She didn’t know about they have people, but they surely had money and power, it was said that their shops were spread all over the country.

Yingbao wanted to turn to the second chapter, but the book turned back into a butterfly and flew away.

As the book disappeared, Yingbao blinked and found herself back on the gourd boat.

Looking at where the small door once was, it had disappeared without a trace. Rowing the gourd boat back to the shore, Yingbao contemplated deeply.

It would seem, she was indeed living inside a book.

The female lead and the female side character in the book were exceptionally formidable. Despite the circumstances, they still had a chance to turn the tables.

Even though she had changed the course of many events, the book could rearrange itself, beginning a new round of drama.

The myriad of changes still led to the same conclusion. The female lead remained as the female lead, and herself, a cannon fodder tool, might still be just that.

Yingbao felt unbearably depressed.

Was she doomed to never escape this damn fate?

No, she would find out tomorrow, what the Chen Changping family were plotting, and how they could possibly vindicate the Han sisters.

Chen Family in Xichen Village.

In order to support his second son, Chen Laoshuan, along with his wife, followed Chen Changping.

The eldest son, Chen Changrong had no objections, the third son, Chen Changhai, even less so.

Only Chen Laoshuan’s daughter, Chen Hui was unhappy, she hurriedly ran back to her maternal home to scold her parents.

“Mother, why are you still taking care of brother when he’s like this?”

Chen Feng looked at her daughter: “Are you suggesting I should just ignore him because he is my son?”

Chen Hui huffily sat down on a stool, “You’ve already divided the land and properties to him. It was him who sold it all after listening to the Han woman’s lies. Now, are you planning to give the remaining few acres to him as well? How will you sustain yourselves in the future?”

Chen Feng defended: “Your second brother hasn’t asked us to financially aid him, he has been copying books these past few days.”

“Copying books?” Chen Hui scoffed, “He spent decades studying, and all he can do is copy books. What else can he do?”

Chen Laoshuan came in, hands behind his back, and scolded in a low voice:

“Speak no more nonsense! ”

Chen Hui turned away, ignoring her father.

Chen Laoshuan closed the door behind him, spoke softly: “I went to the county town to consult a lawyer. If we want to save the Han woman, we must prove that the child is ours. Only then, she can’t be accused of being a kidnapper.” Chen Hui huffed: “Why are you so obsessed with saving that woman?”

Chen Laoshuan glared at her: “What am I to that unlucky star! I wouldn’t care if she died, unless it involves my second son!”

His son cannot take the civil service examination in this lifetime because his wife is a kidnapper. That stigma haunted him.

Even if the Han woman died, Chen Changping could not get rid of this stain on his reputation.

The more Chen Laoshuan thought about it, the angrier he became at his good son being ruined by such a stupid woman.

The only way to clear all the charges was to prove that the child was indeed their own.

After the Han woman was exonerated and returned, he could force his son to divorce her. He didn’t want such an ill-omened woman to affect his son’s luck.

“How do you plan to prove it? The county magistrate himself declared the sentence. Do you think you can easily overturn it?” Chen Hui disdained.

Chen Laoshuan: “The county magistrate may be in charge here but who is he in the prefecture city! Hmph, I will go to the Prefecture City tomorrow to meet the head of the Wei family.”

It had been over a decade since he last visited Prefecture City. He didn’t even know if that master was still alive.

Nevertheless, he had to try.

Compared to his son’s future, what was losing a little face. Maybe he could still turn things around.

The next day, before dawn, Chen Laoshuan and his second son Chen

Changping rode a donkey cart out of the village, heading for Prefecture City.

The last piece of information that Yingbao gathered was that Chen Laoshuan and his second son had already gone to Prefecture City.

What was written in the book was indeed true. It seemed that she had another tough battle ahead.

The Chen Family just wouldn’t let it go. She didn’t know how exactly they were planning on saving the Han sisters.

Right, other than proving that she was their child, there was no other way.

But how could that be, now that her birthmark had vanished. How could they recognize her as their child?

Yingbao thought for a moment, and decided to find her mother.

There were some matters that needed her parents’ involvement..
