The uncle borrowed some merits, and the princess drew the talisman fiercely

Aunt Yao watched Lu Zhaoling leave with her daughter.

Zhou Shiyue sat down in the main seat again.

"Now, isn't it time to tell me about your origins?"

Zhou Shiyue's gaze fell on Shui Xin's father.

Aunt Yao also looked at her husband.

He knelt on the ground, looking extremely depressed.

"I thought we had long since broken away from the barbarians and become citizens of the Great Zhou. That was two generations ago. Why is it being brought up again?"

No one could answer his question for the time being.

Qing Feng returned at this time. He quickly walked over to Zhou Shiyue and whispered, "Buhanda's body was secretly swapped. I sent someone to investigate and they said there was a fire in a charity cemetery last night, burning two bodies that were stored there."

"Yes." Zhou Shiyue said, "Go tell Aling the news."

"Yes." Qing Feng left quickly again.

Zhou Shiyue looked at Shui Xin's father again.

"Are you descendants of the barbarian priests?"

His words made Shui Xin's father look up suddenly with an expression of disbelief.

His reaction confirmed Zhou Shiyue's guess.

He guessed correctly.

Aunt Yao looked at her husband in shock.

After being married for more than ten years, she always thought that her husband was a loyal and honest country man with no background.

He's just handsome.

She had chosen him because of his looks. After all, she was from the palace, and it would be difficult for her to be attracted to ordinary-looking country men.

Of course, if there is really no one she likes, Aunt Yao doesn't have to get married.

But she met Bai Hui.

Bai Hui's appearance attracted her, and Bai Hui's other conditions were also suitable. He pursued her very attentively and proposed to her seriously, so she agreed.

But she never thought that Bai Hui was a barbarian.

Moreover, he is the descendant of the barbarian high priest, not an ordinary barbarian.

She couldn't believe it and couldn't accept it.

"You, are you in cahoots with Buhanda and the others?" Aunt Yao asked this question in a trembling voice after suffering a great shock.

"How is that possible!" Bai Hui came to his senses and heard his wife's words. He reacted very excitedly, "He is the one who harmed Xinxin. How could I be in cahoots with them?!"

"My grandfather..." Bai Hui gritted his teeth, looked at Zhou Shiyue, and said, "He was once a candidate for the Barbarian Tribe's High Priest. However, before he took that position, something happened in the tribe. He was wrongly accused and the tribe wanted to execute him, but he escaped under the protection of two elders."

"He once fled to Nanshao, but someone in Nanshao betrayed him, so he fled to the Great Zhou. The barbarians were also in a state of disarray at the time, perhaps with several people vying for the position of high priest. They felt my grandfather was no longer a threat, so they stopped pursuing him."

"My grandfather changed his name to Bai Tian and settled down in a village not far from the capital of the Great Zhou. He married and had children there, becoming just like the villagers there. We never had any contact with the barbarians again."

Bai Hui said this, gritted his teeth and said, "Later, I found out that some outsiders seemed to have come to the village to look for something, so I told my wife and daughter that I was going out to do business, and left the village to avoid those people."

"After I got back, I asked someone carefully to find out. I heard that the person they were looking for was someone who looked like my grandfather when he was young. They also revealed that he was the one who stole their things."

"My grandfather left me something," Bai Hui said, his voice hoarse. "I wanted to be cautious, so I dug it out and threw it into the mountain river after returning. I thought at the time that I wouldn't be able to use it anyway, and I didn't even know what it was, but I couldn't keep it if it was even slightly dangerous. I didn't expect the other party to have a spy in the village, and he saw me."

So, he ran to the mountains to throw something away, but was discovered by the other party.

Zhou Shiyue listened to what he said and hummed, neither saying whether he believed it nor whether he disagreed.

"What are the requirements for a barbarian to be elected as a high priest?" he asked.

Bai Hui shook his head, "I really don't know. Grandfather didn't want us to know, so he really didn't tell us anything."

"What was that thing you threw away? What did it look like?" Zhou Shiyue asked, "Draw it."

He is investigating Bai Hui's case here.

Over there, Lu Zhaoling brought Shui Xin to Huaiyuan.

Under the locust tree, "Weng Songzhi" was still lying on a bamboo chair under the locust tree.

Lu Zhaoling held his forehead with his hand.

"Second Junior Sister," she asked when she saw Rong Jingjing coming over, "Is Grandma Sheng back?"

"No." Rong Jingjing also glanced at "Weng Songzhi" and felt a little worried.

"Big Sister, Uncle Master..."

Can it be saved?

Before she could finish her words, Lu Zhaoling said, "It'll be fine."

She knew what Rong Jingjing wanted to say.

But she would not let her uncle die.

It’s not like my life span has ended.

She refused to acknowledge the harm done to her and the loss of her life.

At worst, she could go somewhere and "borrow" some life force to extend her uncle's life.

Rong Jingjing heard her firm words and didn't dwell on the matter any further. She believed that the senior sister knew the situation well, and asking more would only add to her pressure.

She looked at Shui Xin who was supported by Qingyin and Qingbao, and was stunned for a moment.

"Wasn't she sent to Prince Jin's Mansion?"

Rong Jingjing was not very happy before that Shui Xin was sent to Prince Jin's Mansion. The eldest senior sister would not be jealous of such a thing, but she, as a junior sister, was not happy about it.

Because Shui Xin was so beautiful, and because of the past relationship between Aunt Yao and the mother of Prince Jin, she was not worried that Prince Jin would be easily seduced, but she did not trust the people in the palace.

If Shui Xin was given some treatment that she didn't deserve, it would be unfair to her senior sister.

For example, if the palace gave Shui Xin a separate courtyard, and regularly sent some allowances to her courtyard, and mentioned it to the prince from time to time -

"Would you like to send one to Miss Shui Xin?"

"Would you like to invite Miss Shui Xin to the family dinner as well?"

"The weather is getting cold. Should we have someone measure Miss Shuixin and sew her some winter clothes?"

Rong Jingjing knew some of the things that happened in the mansion. These were all very likely to happen.

Even if Prince Jin had no feelings for Shui Xin, if Shui Xin went out in the future, there would always be people saying: This is Miss Shui Xin who lives in Prince Jin's mansion...

As time goes on, who can guarantee that there won’t be any trouble?

Who can guarantee that no one will have any bad intentions?

Rong Jingjing didn't want her senior sister to encounter these things in the future.

Now seeing Lu Zhaoling bringing Shui Xin to Huaiyuan, Rong Jingjing thought that it was the senior sister who took the initiative.

"Bring him here for processing." Lu Zhaoling replied.

Rong Jingjing's brows jumped.

"Big Sister, do you want to get rid of her? Actually, just let her go home after the matter is done..."

Lu Zhaoling reacted and looked at her with a mixture of laughter and tears. "How do you think I should deal with her?"

Qing Bao spoke frankly, "Miss Rong, there is Buhanda's soul in Shui Xin's body. Miss, you have to deal with this."
