Chereads / Selena's Rebirth Diary / Chapter 19 - The Whistleblower

Chapter 19 - The Whistleblower

Many Beerspa knights have entered the Flower Mountain in the past two days, which made Selena, who had been a little relieved, suddenly nervous again. After all, the area around the foot of Flower Mountain is relatively remote, and there are not even many ordinary peasant residents here. There are only about ten various families. Why did so many knights suddenly come to patrol nearby? Not to mention Selena, even Jose and Maria were shocked, so they didn't go up the mountain again in the past few days.

Although Selena did not go out, she paid attention to the outside in recent days. That day she saw through the window a man who seemed to be a captain of knights and an old man in his sixties passing by the road in front of her house. 

Even I also heard the old man say: "...Sir, please believe me. There is clearly a fur smuggler in the cave. His age, clothes and injuries are exactly the same as what is written on the notice published by the government. Even if he takes the opportunity to run away, I think he won't be able to run very far if his legs and feet are not convenient. By then we..."

Selena didn't hear what they said next, but her heart couldn't help but beat fast. This is not a surprise but a scare! Because the old man's voice sounded the same as the one she heard at the cave entrance that day, she guessed the whole story after thinking about it.

She had previously heard from Jose that if a fur smuggler was caught, the whistleblower could get a reward of fifty silver coins. The old man obviously came here for the reward. However, this kind of impostor behavior, turning around and looking for the knights of the Knights Hall to arrest people is really embarrassing. This time he deserves to be taken to the mountain by so many knights, but they can't find Lucio.

This result calmed Selena down a bit. After all, the gold earned from Lucio's fur smuggling was still buried under her tree by her. It would be better if this person was not caught. If they caught him, they could torture him to find out the whereabouts of the money stolen from fur smuggling. Then her family of three would be involved for no reason, and Selena broke out in a cold sweat just thinking about it.

Selena remembered that she had never heard of Lucio being imprisoned in her previous life. As at this time in her previous life it was peaceful and so many knights searched for two days but found no one, she calmed down.

After observing for a few more days, Selena felt completely relieved when she saw that all the knights near Flower Mountain had left and that no one was looking for people on the mountain. She couldn't help but admire that Lucio was really as cunning as the impostor said, so many people went into the mountain without finding him, plus his wound on his leg was so serious that she didn't know where to hide.

Of course, Selena was not kind enough to look for him, but she thought in her mind that if she wanted to do good deeds in the future, she should do it openly, and never do it secretly and feel wronged after being replaced by others.

Over the next ten days, Maria sewed Selena a pair of cotton gauze pajamas and light green silk underwear embroidered with lotus flowers. As expected, her daughter liked it so much that she took it in her hands and couldn't put it down.

Selena wore many good things when she was the count's mistress in her previous life. Although she likes silk, she may not be as attached to it as Maria thought. She was only happy because this was the pattern embroidered by her mother herself and her name was embroidered on her underwear. Furthermore, the lotus flower buds are embroidered to come to life, which obviously took a lot of effort.

Maria's family was also rich when she was young and her family had a grocery store, so she learned some embroidery techniques when she was a child and practiced embroidery well, however, due to her poor health, Jose did not want her to do it for fear that her condition would worsen due to overwork. And now that the family has enough money, there is no need for her to work so hard.

Selena carefully touched the lotus flowers, knowing that her mother stayed up to do it, thinking of her mother's kindness in her previous life, she couldn't help but have tears in her eyes, she said to Maria sweetly and softly: " Thanks Mom..."

Seeing Selena's well-behaved and teary eyes, Maria's heart melted. She thought to herself that her daughter's eyes were so beautiful! They look like sapphires, and when she cries, she seems as wet as a clear spring. She instantly motherly thought of using the remaining scraps of light green silk to sew a sachet and embroider it with lotus flowers for her to carry with her.

At night, Selena took a shower and used jasmine essential oil to moisturize her body, then put on light green underwear embroidered with lotus flowers and a cotton gauze nightgown made by Maria, her whole body felt relaxed and comfortable. Cotton clothing is no longer as abrasive as it once was. When it comes to the abrasion of cotton fabric, it may seem too delicate to others. Only those women who were born in noble families do not have to work every day and have delicate skin being like that.

It's good for a peasant to wear cotton, but Selena is that delicate flora who was born a servant. She was born in a peasant family, but her skin is very delicate and tender. She said that cotton is abrasive to her, and others might think she is pretending. But it was actually true. Maria didn't believe it before, but after seeing that Selena was allergic to wearing ordinary cotton, she had to admit that Selena's skin was really delicate.

Her daughter is truly blessed with skin. Her skin is not simply white, but a pinkish white due to the abundant energy and blood in her. And her skin is as delicate as snow-white silk, without even a visible pore. Even her body was already slim and well proportioned at a young age, she stood as gracefully as a lotus flower.

Maria felt a little worried and thought that they were from an ordinary peasant family, while Selena's face became more and more beautiful. If she had been born into a rich family, she would have been prosperous and rich all her life. But she was born into a peasant family and her future is unpredictable.

Selena didn't know that Maria was worried. She was in a good mood these days and she used the magical spring water she collected to make two boxes of osmanthus balm for Maria. The spring water in her hand is limited, only 9 drops per day.

She originally thought of saving it in a porcelain bottle if she couldn't use it, but more than half of it would disappear the next day. So she tries her best to use it on the same day, otherwise she will go to waste. When making essential oil and blush, only 4 or 5 drops are used to soak all the flowers. With the soaked flowers you can make several bottles of essential oil and some blush. Two boxes of balm with so many drops of magical water should be very effective when used so much.

The essential oil made from flowers soaked in magic water has a clear fragrance but does not feel greasy at all. After using it for 2-3 weeks, hair will go from frizzy to smooth. If you continue using it, the hair will have a natural shine.

The color of the blush was perfect, she took a little bit and rubbed it on her face with hands, it immediately had a natural color. There is no woman who does not love beauty, from seventy or eighty years old to a child of three to five years old, Maria is no exception, she is only about thirty years old, she is plump and beautiful. In appearance, her skin is fair, her illness has been cured during this period and Jose couldn't take his eyes off her when he was home.

These days, Jose couldn't help but worry, his wife and daughter at home were not very strong. And looking at the fence that he could kick down with one kick, Joseph looked forward to returning home every day when he went out. The idea of building a house became more and more intense.
