The hero fell for the cannon fodder maid.

Zhou Ze seemed to be lost in some memories. Xiao Wanyue didn't know what Zhou Ze wanted to say to her, and she didn't know how to ask him about her life experience.

She felt that Zhou Ze must know something. The jade pendant in her hand was given to the original owner by Zhou Ze. Who abducted her?

Why was Zhou Ze found when she was sold? In their daily interactions, they felt like father and daughter, but not completely. Zhou Ze always protected her and didn't let her get hurt.

Xiao Wanyue: "Dad, what do you want to say to your daughter?"

Zhou Ze: "Yue'er is so smart, you should know what Daddy is going to say. Daddy knows what you want to know. Now that you have grown up, it is time to tell you your life story. Daddy will tell you a story about your life story first."

Xiao Wanyue: "Dad, tell me."

Zhou Ze: "I remember sixteen years ago, there was a general who fought day and night to bring a brief peace to the Chu State. For a time, the people were very grateful and admired this general..."

The general was loved by the people, and he also had a beloved wife. The two of them lived in harmony. The general had no concubines, and was the envy of the noble ladies in the capital. They were very happy and had a son. Two years later, they had a daughter, who was named after him by the late emperor. The girl was also engaged to a nobleman.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. When the girl was five years old, she was kidnapped by gangsters. Later, the girl was caught by human traffickers and sold to a farmer. Later, the farmer had a child and sold her again. She was adopted by a hunter.

The villain was in a high position and had always wanted to seize the general's military power. He framed the general many times but failed. In order to take revenge on the general, he captured his daughter and separated them from each other.

The General's Mansion never stopped searching for the girl. One day, a Taoist priest came to the General's Mansion and said bluntly, "The General's daughter will face hardship at the age of five and a calamity at the age of fifteen. If she survives the calamity, it will be a blessing in disguise, which is invaluable. However, these calamities are what she must go through. You must not forcefully change the fate of this girl. Remember, you must not recognize or meet her before she turns fifteen. You can only look for her when she turns fifteen. She will be the lucky star of the Great Chu."

After the Taoist priest finished speaking, he left the general's mansion, as if he had never appeared in the capital.

The general was originally unable to do it, as no matter how hard he looked, he could not find any trace of him. He could only search in secret, and Zhou Ze and Zhou Ye were the ones who went to look for him.

As if guided by fate, Zhou Ze found Xiao Wanyue, but he remembered the general's instructions and did not tell them that he had found Xiao Wanyue.

He also had his own mission, and he had promised the general that if he found her, he would take good care of her and let her find her own identity.

What he wanted to tell her was everything about her and her parents, and let her find the truth.

Zhou Ze thought for a moment and said, "Yue'er, I am actually your uncle."

Xiao Wanyue: ??? I didn’t expect they were relatives.

Zhou Ze: "My surname isn't Zhou, it's Lin, and my name is Lin Zezhou. Father Yue'er can only tell you this much, and the rest you need to explore on your own. These are the paths you should take, and don't worry, Father will help you."

Xiao Wanyue felt that these people were a bit superstitious, but it would be unreasonable for them not to be superstitious. Such a strange thing could happen to her, so what was impossible?

There are indeed many wonders in this world. Although she is a materialist, she sometimes has to believe in metaphysics.

Well, she would just reluctantly believe what he said, and besides, her father would never harm her.

Xiao Wanyue: "Yue'er knows. Do we still need to return to Beijing?"

Zhou Ze: "Of course. Although the people of Yunzhou are simple and honest, the mountains here are high and the roads are long. It's not a long-term solution."

Of course he had his concerns. He would feel more at ease if he brought people to the capital, as the capital was the closest to the truth. He was just afraid that some people would become restless. Yue'er's appearance was so outstanding that she would soon be noticed by those interested, and it would be easier for those who were looking for her. Of course, the danger would also be greater. Although he didn't want Yue'er to be in danger, the most dangerous place might be the safest place.

Zhou Ze thought again that the person he had seen before was not a simple character, and he didn't know how Yue'er knew this person. However, his Yue'er was still as lively and cheerful, smart and clever, and his temperament was not much different from when he was a child.

"Yue'er, who was that man just now?"

Xiao Wanyue: "Dad, which one are you asking about?"

Zhou Ze: "The man in black."

As soon as Xiao Wanyue heard it, she knew he was talking about He Jingming, and asked him why?

"That's the new emperor Zhao Chengyi."

Zhou Ze was shocked by these few simple words. The person he didn't find was actually...

Alas, maybe this is fate.

It is good to have such a strong man to protect her. He can feel at ease and those who want to hurt her will be a little more afraid.

Zhou Ze pretended to be surprised and said, "I didn't expect him to be the new emperor. I heard that the new emperor has reformed the civil service and executed many corrupt officials. He has done a lot."

He still admired the new emperor very much. He had seen him when he was at the border, but at that time he was in the military camp as Prince He. He was indeed a rare good emperor.

Xiao Wanyue did not deny that He Jingming was indeed a good emperor. Although he was violent and murderous in the book, he made great achievements in politics. He made the Great Chu last for a hundred years, the enemy countries did not dare to invade, and the people lived and worked in peace and prosperity. He was a rare wise ruler in a prosperous era.

The current He Jingming has not turned evil, nor will he kill people like in the book. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be a wise ruler throughout history.

Zhou Ze looked at Xiao Wanyue, not knowing what to say. He knew that the new emperor looked at Yue'er with eyes full of possession and love. As soon as he entered the door and asked Yue'er to introduce him, he said on his own that he was Yue'er's husband. It seemed that Yue'er didn't like him yet. It was all the new emperor's wishful thinking. Yue'er was too naive and didn't realize the danger of this man at all.

If Xiao Wanyue knew what Old Man Zhou was thinking, she would definitely say that it was unfair. She had known this man's nature for a long time, so how could she not know what he felt towards her.

Xiao Wanyue: "Dad, I have another question. I have a jade pendant. Do you know what it is?"

Zhou Ze: "This jade pendant is a token of your identity. It's not only a symbol of your identity, but it also has other functions. You must not take it out until your identity is confirmed."

This jade pendant is of vital importance, and many people want to get it. Yue'er has been in Yunzhou for many years, and is the culprit behind her wandering around for many years, because there are some shocking secrets in it, and only Xiao Wanyue can open it.

Xiao Wanyue also knew the importance of this thing. She placed the jade pendant in her space, and her space was much larger, so she could put a lot of things in it.

The two talked for a while before getting up. Xiao Wanyue asked Zhou Ze to go to the side room to rest. This side room was temporarily vacated. It was originally where Zheng Tiaodi lived. Now Zheng Tiaodi and Zhao Jingyu lived together, so it was just a good place for Old Man Zhou to rest.

She still had something to discuss with He Jingming.
