After rebirth, she became the favorite of the powerful minister.

Her teacher, Feng Qingtan, is an expert in both medicine and poison, and is good at treating heart diseases. He has taught her everything he knows over the years, but she has never been exposed to the method of treating heart disease.

Two days ago, she asked about this, and the teacher explained that biting off more than she could chew was not the real reason. Besides, she didn't have much talent in this area, so it was better not to learn it. This didn't sound unusual, but the tacit understanding of many years of getting along made her clearly feel that the other party was evasive and guilty. It was obvious that biting off more than she could chew was not the real reason. It wasn't that she couldn't learn it, but... she couldn't learn it.

These details, which seem a little strange when viewed individually, are like scattered pearls, some of which are unclear and some of which are incomprehensible, but if a thin thread is used to string these details together, no matter how unbelievable they are, that is the truth.

But she knew the truth was behind the veil and mist, and she knew that if she took one more step forward she would see all the truth...but at the last moment, she hesitated.

The little girl's long, thick eyelashes slowly drooped, and she looked lonely and pitiful without a smile on her face.

More than ten years ago, this child was only five or six years old, and he had already learned to protect himself and Yuan Qi with all his might. But he was just a child after all, and when he was wronged, he would sit next to Yuan Junfeng with his knees hugged, his black eyes wide open, and ask him in a baby voice what "bringing unlucky father and mother" meant, and why everyone said that it was her fault that her brother got sick?

There were many times when Yuan Junfeng almost couldn't help but tell her everything.

But he can't.

It was Feng Qingtan that he had personally asked for. He watched with his own eyes as his baby gradually grew healthier. Compared to those days and nights of fear, crying, despair and wailing, this Yuan Ge already made him cry for joy.

The old man stroked the girl's messy hair with his shaking hands, tucked the hair behind her ears, and coaxed her softly, "Why, don't you believe in your grandfather anymore?"

"No." Yuan Ge smiled lightly, his smile was as light as the sun on a winter morning, although it was beautiful and bright, it did not have much warmth.

The little girl was obviously not sincere.

The old man saw it with his eyes and felt pain in his heart, but he didn't explain anything in the end. Instead, he smiled and scolded, "My little girl, you seem to have a lot more worries after going through a disaster, and even your grandfather is hiding it... Today is New Year's Eve, go and burn some incense for your parents, let them recognize your new face, and bless my Ge'er to be safe and sound in the coming year and have a smooth life... Go." He patted Yuan Ge's shoulder, "Little girl, don't take everything on your shoulders... We old bones are still here, it's not your turn to take on things."

The doubts that had been turning around in her throat for several times were once again suppressed by Yuan Ge. Even though the truth was looming behind the mist, she finally retreated... Her grandfather had lost too much in his life. She lost her father and mother, and her grandfather also lost his son and daughter-in-law. She lost her brother, and her grandfather also lost his precious grandson. The teacher said that her grandfather almost died this time, and it was obviously not a lie. Yuan Ge didn't dare to bet on what consequences the truth behind the mist would bring.

She couldn't afford to gamble either.

"Okay, I'll light some incense and sit for a while before going back." She responded with a smile, and then said, "Today is New Year's Eve. Even if you, the great elder, don't go to toast in front of everyone, you shouldn't accompany me here to idle away. People are gone, but the living still have to move forward. There are so many things in Zhixuan Mountain that you still have to worry about and decide... Grandfather, after today, just forget about us."

"What do you mean?" The old man's face turned cold, and he asked with gritted teeth, "What do you mean by 'you'? You really don't plan to stay in Zhixuan Mountain, right?"

"Even if I stay in Zhixuan Mountain, I can only be the teacher's medicine boy, and there is no reason for me to be Yuan Ge again." Yuan Ge was facing his grandfather, his voice was gentle, but his eyes were serious, and he spoke quietly, "Grandfather, you actually understand, don't you? Yuan Ge's bones are buried here, and the tablet is also enshrined inside. How are you going to explain to others that a dead ghost suddenly came back to life? Things like resurrection from the dead and resurrection from corpses are too weird. Even if you and I are open and fearless, we can't guarantee that it will involve a lot of trouble."

The Great Elder was silent. He knew what Yuan Ge meant. If resurrection from the dead was proven to be possible, even if there was only one such absurd coincidence since ancient times, it would be enough to cause a huge uproar.

The more powerful and wealthy people are, the more they pursue immortality. One can imagine what a catastrophe it will be for ordinary people at that time.

But... the Great Elder suppressed his lips and glanced at Yuan Ge with some displeasure, "Girl, then tell me honestly, are you really in love with your cheap husband?"

Yuan Ge smiled. Compared with her previous lonely smile, the little girl's expression was soft and a little shy at this moment. Even if she didn't say anything, the answer was already obvious.

She said, "Yeah." It was a simple answer, but without any hesitation.

The old man was so angry that his chest was heaving. He rolled his eyes for a while and asked in a sarcastic tone, "Is it really that good? Good-looking? Or sweet-mouthed and coaxing? She's a little girl, and she was taken advantage of by just a few sweet words... Humph, it's true that girls can't be kept when they grow up."

"He didn't say many sweet words. He just promised me that he would be with me through thick and thin." Yuan Ge lowered his eyebrows and chuckled. "Grandfather, I believed him."

"Life and death together, that's easy to say!" The old man was stunned for a moment and then quickly returned to normal, not knowing what he remembered. "We didn't even go together on the road from Shengjing, let alone the road of life and death? An ugly daughter-in-law has to meet her parents-in-law. I'm going to say this now. If he hadn't come to see me in person, I wouldn't let you go back to him! It's not like no one wants the girls of Zhixuan Mountain. You're chasing after a man and rushing to be his wife to serve his family? He's so flattered!"

Without waiting for Yuan Ge to answer, he asked again, "What about your mother-in-law? Did she set any rules for you? I heard that the wealthy families in Shengjing City have many rules, such as visiting relatives every morning and evening, serving tea and water. The life of a new daughter-in-law must be difficult!"

This old man never leaves the mountain, but he knows a lot. Yuan Ge took the old man's arm and smiled, "No, I never visit him every morning and evening, and I haven't seen him many times. Besides, don't you know what kind of temper your granddaughter, who you raised with your own hands, has? How can she stand in front of others and serve others obediently? Right?"

This is true.

Thinking about it, the old man got angry again, “I didn’t teach you that men would believe it just by a few words of coaxing! How can you be so gullible!” He thought the little girl was born slow, and Nan Yin’s feelings were so obvious, but she didn’t know it at all. Now, she falls in love with someone else in the blink of an eye... I can only say that these two children are not destined to be together!
