I became an official of the imperial court by eating melons when I was still a baby

The system's words were like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, instantly causing countless ripples.

Everyone was shocked.

What the hell!

The stuff in this treasure shop is not only extremely expensive, but also contains ingredients that are harmful to the human body!

This is simply a black-hearted businessman!

It’s expensive and it wants to harm people!

Qin Yue poked her little head out from Lord Qin's arms and glanced at the ornaments in the Treasure Shop.

I have to admit that the accessories in the Treasure House are really beautiful, and they are not inferior even when compared with modern well-designed accessories.

But, such a beautiful ornament can actually harm people?!

So, Qin Yue asked in surprise and confusion: [Ah? Sister, what’s wrong with such a beautiful jewelry? ]

System: [Host, you would never have thought that the material of these accessories is mixed with human ashes! ]

The system's words exploded like a thunder in everyone's mind.

What the hell!

What did they just hear?

These glamorous-looking ornaments actually contain human ashes?!

What a magical thing this is!

It's really unexpected!

The point is, there is nothing to do with it. Why put human ashes in it?

and many more?

The key question is... whose ashes are they...

When everyone thought of this, they couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.

Could it be that... this shopkeeper has killed someone...

Everyone's eyes changed from shock to horror, and they all looked straight at the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper, however, seemed unaware and continued to calculate on his abacus. Everyone's gazes seemed to be lost in the air, with no response at all.

When Madam Qin and Mrs. Lu heard what the system said, they hurriedly dropped the jewelry they had just picked up, and immediately took out their handkerchiefs and kept wiping their hands, as if they had just touched something very dirty.

I was crying in my heart: No one told them that there are such risks in eating melons on the spot!

In the restaurant opposite the Treasure Shop, the big man who had just picked up a grain of rice suddenly loosened his grip upon hearing this, and the grain of rice fell straight to the ground.

The big man suddenly came to his senses, and then looked regretful. Oh, one grain of rice was missing, and he had to slow down again.

His position was excellent. Not only was it directly facing the main door of the Treasure Shop, but it was also next to the window, so he could clearly see everything going on in the Treasure Shop.

But I can’t give it up easily…I have to eat it slowly, the slower the better…

Thinking about it, the big man slowed down twenty times and picked up a piece of vegetable leaf from the dish that was only filled with soup. Well, it was indeed a piece of...

The whole family, who had just been impressed by the big man's impressive performance, were shocked again by him.

I looked down and realized that I had intended to slow down, but my hands couldn't stop shaking, so I had to stuff the food into my mouth quickly.

It seems that they still haven't learned the essence...

Qin Yue asked anxiously: [System, how come there are ashes in these shiny things? Besides, what are the ashes added in there for? ]

[Oh, no, if there are ashes, then it means someone has done something, doesn’t that mean…]

[Fuck! Sister, please tell me what is going on here? ]

Everyone: Yes, sister, please tell us what’s going on.

Lord Qin unconsciously tightened his hold on Qin Yue's hand and glanced back. Several guards rushed into the store and pretended to stand in front of the Qin family members naturally.

In response, the shopkeeper just looked up, with a look of being used to it.

Lord Qin smiled and nodded slightly.

The shopkeeper nodded in response, then lowered his head and continued to work on the abacus.

There was no doubt in his mind. After all, when wealthy people went out, they were always followed by a large group of servants, in order to show off their status or for other reasons.

Lord Qin said a few words silently to Old Madam Qin beside him. Old Madam Qin understood and whispered a few words to the nanny beside her.

The nanny nodded solemnly, quietly left the Treasure Shop, got on the Qin family carriage, and drove quickly towards somewhere.

System: [Host, rest assured, it was not the shopkeeper who killed him. ]

[Because the ashes in here are not ordinary people's ashes, but the ashes of the royal family members of the Southern Dwarf Kingdom. ]

Everyone: Holy shit! Is this the Nanzhu Kingdom the Nanzhu they know? !

Of course, they are members of the royal family, right?

Who has the last name Nanzhu and is still a member of the royal family?

Today's melon is too big! !

The shocks come one after another without stopping!

However, this involves the royal families of other countries?

Or is it a melon they can eat?

All the people who were eating melons outside the Treasure House felt a pang in their hearts when they thought of this, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on their faces.

But the next moment, they thought of the story they heard in the teahouse two days ago, and their hearts were filled with courage again, well, the courage to eat melons.

They can eat the melons from Nanzhao, so why can’t they eat the melons from Nanzhu?

Besides, they were all around here, who knew that Xiao Fuguan would be here to eat melons? They didn't eat melons actively, they were eating melons passively!

Right, that is it!

…………

Just as everyone was struggling internally, Lord Qin's eyes became stern, and he held Qin Yue and moved closer to the store door.

Madam Qin and Mrs. Lu also followed suit very naturally.

And An Siwuliu, who was protecting Qin Yue in the dark, reacted instantly and realized that this was not just a big melon, it was a huge melon!

The next moment, An Si did not hesitate and immediately blew the whistle, quickly stuffing the information here into the mailbox on Xiaoyingying's feet.

This news must be told to His Majesty immediately.

Qin Yue felt that he had encountered another big melon.

[Sister, why is Nanzhu involved again? ]

Qin Yue stretched her neck to look at the counter again and continued: [Could the shopkeeper also be from Nanzhu? ]

System: [The host is right! The shopkeeper is the Southern Dwarf Emperor, the second son of the Dwarf Gold Emperor.]

[The owner of the ashes added to the ornaments was the first son of the Southern Crown Prince and the first grandson of the Jujin Emperor. He died when he was just one month old, and was then cremated by the Jujin Emperor. He took the ashes and asked his second son to bring the ashes and craftsmen to the capital of the Southern Dynasty to open this treasure shop.]

Qin Yue seemed to smell a conspiracy: [Sister, I feel like something is wrong here! ]

[The royal family of Nanzhu put the ashes into jewelry and sold them to nobles in the capital. They couldn't have done this to disgust the people of the Southern Dynasty. They must have had some ulterior motive!]

Everyone thought so too.

After all, no one would put human ashes into jewelry for no reason and then sell it to other people...

Not to mention that the ashes belong to one's closest relatives...

Needless to say, there must be some conspiracy here, just like what happened in Nan Zhao!

At this time, all the people around who were just watching the show forgot their inner fears and even gathered up the courage to expose the Nanzhu conspiracy no matter what.

They want to protect the Southern Dynasty, even if it costs their lives!
