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

A silver streak flashed across the distant night sky, and after a long time, the rumbling sound of thunder was heard falling to the ground.

The moisture in the air became increasingly dense, and every breath was filled with a damp and cold feeling.

No one spoke in the entire medicine garden. It was so quiet that one could almost hear the hustle and bustle of the mountain in front. Everyone was welcoming this moment of transition from the old to the new. Only here... pushing open the door of the past, brushing off the dust of the past, revealing the broken truth.

Yuan Ge tightly grasped the brocade bag in his hand, "So, why did they want to kill my father and mother? And why did they want to spare my life..."

"Because you are alive, it will be more painful." Xu Chengjin, who was leaning against the tree trunk and hidden in the dark, suddenly said in a cold voice. He pulled the corners of his mouth and sneered, "It's really... a cruel thing. So, you didn't go to cause trouble for the Murong family later?"

"I was so angry that I didn't spare a single life. Now the two children are gone, and Ge'er is like this. I am exhausted and can't take care of him anymore." The elder buried his face in his palms slowly. After a long deep breath, he continued, "I can only seek help from Feng Qingtan, who was already very famous at the time. I heard that he is good at curing heart diseases... After Ge'er's condition stabilizes, I will naturally ask the Murong family for an explanation, but after all, there is no evidence to prove that this matter was instigated by the Murong family. There is no result from all this wrangling. The two children are young and cannot be separated from their parents, so the matter is left unresolved. I only know that the Murong family is no longer welcome in Xuanshan."

"I..." Murong Yuxuan swallowed the "I don't know" that was about to come out of his mouth.

Two lives were lost. Can you really stay out of it by saying you didn't know? Of course not.

He bowed slowly and silently, and turned to leave, but Yuan Ge suddenly called out, "Uncle."

His feet suddenly stopped, and Murong Yuxuan's pair of dark eyes lit up almost instantly. He looked at Yuan Ge expectantly as she walked closer to him. As he watched her slowly spread out her palm, the light in his eyes instantly extinguished... In her small palm, there lay a small brocade bag, the string of New Year's money that he had not yet had time to give out.

The old man on the mountain said that the lucky money string should be strung with colorful ropes and woven into a dragon shape, and placed at the foot of the bed on New Year's Eve to bless the coming year with good health, peace and good fortune. He was clumsy and could hold the giant sword, but he couldn't string the money string, so he bought a bunch of colorful ropes and fumbled for a whole day before it was barely acceptable.

But now, even he himself felt that this lucky bag and this thoughtfulness were really ridiculous and ironic.

"Uncle." Yuan Ge stared at him, his eyes wide open, his gaze neither avoiding nor yielding, without any emotion visible, and he spoke softly, "Thank you for taking care of me along the way. But the past is done, the blood debt has not been settled, although I know I can't vent my anger on you, but please forgive me for being young and immature and really can't smile at others. I won't keep you at Zhixuan Mountain... If you go back to Murong Mansion, please help me bring a message, just say... I will personally settle the debt of my dear relatives, and I will also personally ask about the truth about my aunt, and let them wait... at Murong's house!"

After saying this, he tilted his palm slightly, and the sachet fell into the other person's outstretched hand.

After spending so many days together, how could Murong Yuxuan not know the other person's temper? This girl, seemingly gentle and indifferent, but in fact, if she really makes up her mind about something, she will dare to go to the ends of the earth and risk her life.

Besides, I really have no right to persuade her.

Murong Yuxuan suddenly tightened the brocade bag in his palm, took a step back, and lowered his head. "I really don't know what the Murong family did back then. This is not an excuse... After I get down the mountain, I will immediately set off to return to the Murong family to investigate the matter. If there is any news, I will write a letter to Zhixuanshan. Yuan Ge, you... I know that some of my words seem particularly inappropriate, but they only have you as their daughter now. I believe that for them, it is more important than anything else that you take care of yourself."

As he said this, he bowed solemnly to everyone present and said, "Goodbye."

Then he turned around and walked away.

Yuan Ge stood there, watching him disappear from his sight, then slowly turned around, his eyes accurately falling on Feng Qingtan, "Now that we have finished talking about mother, what about brother? What is the next part of the sentence 'brother is also because of them'?"

The little girl stood on the entrance path of the medicine garden, her clothes ruffling in the night wind, her fists slightly clenched beneath her wide sleeves, her eyes wide open, not showing any joy or anger, as if she was just seeking the truth.

No matter what the truth is.

But it is this situation that makes people worry.

"Okay, Yuan Ge." Xu Chengjin took two steps forward, pulled off his outer robe and put it on her. "It's past midnight, the old lady needs to rest, and look at the sky, it's going to rain soon. Anyway, we've talked about it now, can we talk about it tomorrow if there's anything else?"

Yuan Ge looked at no one but Feng Qingtan, tilting her head slightly with a hint of tenderness in her bones, but today this tenderness was tinged with the moisture of the winter night, so cold that it felt like the wind was blowing through the cracks in people's bones. She said, "You all said that my brother got the disease from his mother's womb. Grandfather also said that when the Murong family came to 'visit relatives', he took my brother who had caught a cold away from the table to rest early, which shows that my brother was already weak at that time... It shows that this 'brought from the womb' is not a lie, and I believe in my medical skills and my own judgment."

"Then, this trick was really done in the mother's womb... The Murong family hasn't had a single letter in these years, let alone people or ghosts. The so-called trick in the mother's womb means that the killing trick was planted long before the marriage?"

No one spoke. The lightning in the sky became more and more frequent, and the thunder came from far away, as if the gods in the sky were setting off fireworks to celebrate the arrival of the new year.

The water vapor was so thick that it seemed like it would drip down at any time.

Feng Qingtan sighed slowly, and finally said the first sentence in such a long time, "Yes... At that time, I just arrived at Zhixuan Mountain. After settling you, I felt your brother's pulse and I had doubts. With your grandfather's consent, we opened your mother's coffin... I found traces of poison on her body. Your mother's bones are black all over her body, which is a sign of poisoning. It is a chronic poison. She must have taken it every day for a long time before getting married... I guess it was because your brother took away most of the toxins when he was born, and your mother was not affected too much. When you were born, although your foundation was weaker than ordinary people, you were born active and lively, which can be regarded as a compensation for it..."

Yuan Ge looked up at the sky for a long while, then smiled foolishly, "Murong..."

Boom!

A loud thunder exploded on the top of Zhixuan Mountain, and heavy rain finally fell.
