The real daughter died tragically and was reborn, and the whole family cried and begged for forgiven

Leng Dian and Zhui Yu were both shocked when they heard this.

Zhui Yu: "Your Highness, this... isn't this just the servant who always introduces everyone to the auction? He's actually the owner of this gambling house?"

Duan Rongshi did not give Zhui Yu any explanation.

He just reached out and pulled Li Qingluo back a little.

"Be careful not to fall. What's so good about this? He's covering his face, and it's hard to tell whether he's male or female, just like you."

Li Qingluo: "..."

Your Highness, could you please shut up?

Zhui Yu on the side said: Look, His Highness is becoming more and more caring about others now.

It's so comforting and touching.

Nanny Zheng: Oh my god, is this still the bloodthirsty and cold-blooded Prince Su who is said to be the killer god?!?

Talking to those girls so gently, is this old thing really not a dream or an illusion for me?

Nanny Zheng couldn't help but pinch herself hard.

Then he laughed.

It seems that rumors are sometimes untrue. His Royal Highness Prince Su is also a very considerate person.

Only Nangong Di didn't react at all. He leaned against the window and looked down coldly.

Li Qingluo sat down, and at this moment, she suddenly saw that the window of the wing room that had been closed for a long time was finally opened.

She couldn't help but stretch her neck and look over there.

Then I heard a few faint coughs, and before I could see anything clearly, my view was blocked by a figure.

The figure suddenly turned his head and glanced towards Li Qingluo.

Li Qingluo immediately retracted his head obediently.

Zheng Lingzhou!

Why is it him?

Their Lotus Sect is truly omnipresent, and their presence can be seen everywhere.

Li Qingluo frowned and completely hid herself in the window. Duan Rongshi noticed her abnormality and asked, "Did you meet someone you know?"

Li Qingluo did not hide it: "Your Highness, he is from the Lotus Sect. You know him too."

Fortunately, they were all in disguise today, otherwise they would not be able to escape easily.

Duan Rongshi didn't seem surprised to see people from the Lotus Sect here. He casually rested his arm on the windowsill and suddenly pointed at two corners of the hall: "They are all from the Lotus Sect."

Li Qingluo: "Your Highness knows that there are so many followers of the Lotus Sect here today, so why..."

She immediately thought that Duan Rongshi should be locked up in Prince Su's mansion to reflect on his mistakes.

Therefore, without any power, it is impossible for him to lead people to openly eliminate this cult stronghold.

Then he shut up.

Duan Rongshi said, "It's not just today, it's every auction. This place is filled with Lotus Cult members."

Li Qingluo: "So this gambling house has been taken over by the Lotus Cult? If Your Highness knew about this, why didn't you..."

Duan Rongshi looked at her and said, "Don't ask about things that you shouldn't ask about. Be careful not to get into trouble."

He curled his lips, as if he was teasing her, but also as if he was serious.

Li Qingluo thought to herself: Fortunately, she has always been very clear about her separation from Zheng Lingzhou, and Prince Su has witnessed her firm attitude several times, otherwise it would be really difficult to get rid of it.

She thought of her illegitimate brother.

Uncle De still hasn't found out his whereabouts.

So is he really still alive?

If he were alive, would he hide in the Lotus Sect with Zheng Lingzhou?

But even so, there is no news at all, which shows how secretive his whereabouts are.

When he was still in the general's mansion, Li Qingluo really wanted to find him and take action as soon as possible to prevent future troubles.

Call her vicious or heartless, even if she had to be punished, she didn't want to involve herself and her grandmother in the confiscation of property and extermination of the clan in the future because of the relationship between her half-brother and the Lotus Sect.

But now, he and his grandmother have escaped from the General's Mansion in Dongyin Lane.

If I could persuade my grandmother to write a letter of severance...

As for this half-brother, Li Qingluo no longer cared whether he would appear in front of the world again in the future, or whether he was alive or dead.

"Look, girl!"

Nanny Zheng suddenly pointed in the hall and exclaimed. Li Qingluo looked down and saw that the pink flesh worm was poured from the glass bottle into a large wooden barrel full of water by the young man in black clothes and mask.

Then he seemed to add a bottle of something into the barrel.

It looks like bright red blood!

Li Qingluo and Duan Rongshi both stood up and went to the window to look down carefully.

Looking at the windows of all the rooms on the second floor, they were all crowded with people at this moment. It was obvious that everyone was very curious and wanted to know what the big pink fleshy worm was.

Duan Rongshi noticed an inquiring gaze, and when he slowly turned his head to look over there, only half of Zheng Lingzhou's face appeared vaguely in the window.

Duan Rongshi snorted coldly, and his broad arms completely blocked the possibility of Li Qingluo being seen by others.

Although Zheng Lingzhou withdrew his gaze at this moment, he called his men in: "Go, check the identity of the person in the wing room over there."

Zheng Wanxiu: "What's wrong? Did you encounter someone with a suspicious identity?"

Zheng Lingzhou: "One is extremely ugly, and several of them are wearing masks so their identities cannot be identified."

"Although there's nothing special about it, we all need to be careful these days and not be careless."

Zheng Wanxiu nodded when she heard this: "Although we now have more and more spies and informants from the Lotus Sect in the court, it is sometimes difficult to distinguish the real from the fake."

"Furthermore, our base in Qingsong Town is becoming increasingly conspicuous, yet we haven't yet alerted the imperial court... Even I'm puzzled. Aside from Prince Su, is there no one else in the imperial court who cares about us?"

Although the Lisboa Casino operated relatively covertly, it was impossible that there was no news at all in the court.

It just so happens that the reputation of Lisboa has been growing in the past two years, but the court seems to have no intention of cracking down on it.

This also caused the Lotus Sect to become increasingly reckless and unrestrained, completely treating this place as a place to make money and win over people's hearts.

But Zheng Wanxiu always felt a little burdened and felt that this matter would not be so simple.

Zheng Lingzhou: "Sister, you are a woman after all. Sometimes you can be a little too cautious."

"It's true that Prince Su is the only one in the court who is openly cracking down on our Lotus Sect, and he has always been the most brutal and severe. But do you really think that there aren't any spies from the court among these people?"

"But the daily revenue from the Lisboa Casino is now greater than that of half of Jinling City combined. Gold and silver are flowing in like water. Do you think there won't be anyone envious of such overwhelming wealth?"

"It's just a game of chess between the two sides. Neither side is willing to give up this piece of fat meat for the time being. How could it be easily exposed to the world and collapsed and destroyed?"

"You don't know that quite a few people in the Daliang Dynasty have already got their hands on this gambling house, trying to muddy the waters here, all hoping to get a piece of the pie."

"The imperial court will not care, and will allow this place to rot... But if one day they completely turn against us, that will be the outcome of this game."

"But what does this have to do with us? It's just a gambling house of unknown origin. We in the Lotus Sect can abandon it and escape at any time."

Zheng Wanxiu whispered, "But this is the leader..."

Zheng Lingzhou: "As long as the Daliang Dynasty continues to decay and rot, it will naturally get closer to the ideal kingdom in the leader's mind. What's the harm in just a gambling house?"

Zheng Wanxiu listened with a frown on her face until she suddenly heard a sharp cough behind her.

She immediately turned around and went back to Jingchuan: "Xiaochuan, are you okay? Come, add more fuel to the fire!"

"It's all my fault, mother. I wanted to bring you here to see the excitement today, but I didn't expect you to have caught a cold in the Pei Mansion dungeon that day. Your body is seriously damaged. This ordeal is causing you more suffering."

Jingchuan shook his head.

"Mother, I'm fine. It's an old illness, don't you know? When the weather gets warmer, your son can go out for a walk."

Zheng Lingzhou watched silently without saying anything.

Jingchuan suddenly asked, "By the way, has that pink fleshworm down there changed in any way?"

Zheng Wanxiu and Zheng Lingzhou looked down together.

Zheng Wanxiu took a look and gasped: "That bug... the bug has grown bigger!"

Li Qingluo also saw it.

After the pink fleshworm was put into the big wooden barrel, it grew rapidly in just a moment and filled the barrel.

The people sitting on the first floor were even worried that it would continue to grow and slide over the edge of the barrel.

Fortunately, this did not happen.

I saw the pink fleshy worm's body coiled into countless circles, with no head or tail visible, and it was swimming around in the barrel without any eyes.

Everyone held their breath, looking at the scene in shock and disgust.

"What on earth is this?"

"How can it get so big?"

"It doesn't look like an eel. It looks even more disgusting than an eel!"

At this moment, the masked young man finally spoke up to introduce the large pink fleshy worm: "This is the blood poison worm."

"Bloodworm? What is a bloodworm?"

"Yeah, what on earth is this thing? It looks pretty weird."

"I don't know. I wouldn't want it anyway. It's disgusting."

But then the masked young man continued, "The so-called blood insect is a kind of insect that is fed with blood."

"This is a very ancient type of Gu worm that has been lost in Miaojiang for a long time. Everyone, do you want to know how many years this blood Gu worm in my hand has lived?"

Everyone started whispering about it, and then someone shouted, "Five years!"

"Three years!"

"A year, maybe? How could a worm possibly live that long? A year is already the limit."

The masked young man smiled and said, "No. It has lived for at least fifty years."

Everyone gasped when they heard this.

"How can this be?"

"That's right. How could a worm possibly live that long?"

"Isn't that older than me?"

"You're kidding us! And even if it can live for fifty years, so what? We can't possibly buy such a weird insect and take it home to raise, right?"

"Exactly, what's the point of raising it? To make it so it can't eat, or is it some rare treasure for people to see?"

The masked young man said: "Everyone, what if I say that this insect can make people immortal?"

The hall fell silent in an instant.

Everyone looked at each other and dared not speak.

Immortality! ?

Is this also a lie that can be made up?

And if there really is something so good that it can be put up for auction, why not keep it for yourself?

But then the masked young man explained: "Of course I know that this is a rare treasure that is unique in the world today, but it is not something that ordinary people can persist in raising this blood insect."

"Because raising it not only costs money, but also costs lives."

"It is precisely because I cannot do this that we have to reluctantly take it out and try to find a true home for it."

"If you don't believe it, please read it."

The young man clapped his hands as he spoke, and then a person wrapped in black gauze and sitting on a chair was carried out.

When the black veil was completely removed, everyone could see clearly that it was an extremely beautiful woman from the Western Regions!

However, the woman looked as if she could no longer move. She just sat stiffly in the chair without moving an inch.

Only when her eyes moved occasionally did people believe that she was indeed still alive.

The masked young man said, "The person you see before you is the former owner of this blood-infested insect, a woman from the Western Regions named Zaina."
