Many descendants

Su Yan picked up the farm tools placed in the corner and started weeding the vegetables in the garden, pretending not to see them.

"Have you gone mute again?" Yu Chu scolded Su Yan.

“Master, Qiu’er has always been like this,” Fang said to Yu Chu, her eyes glancing at the four brocade boxes out of the corner of her eye.

"She was at the gate, and she was speaking perfectly well. His Highness was also there at the time."

Fang looked at Yu Chu in surprise, "Really?"

“Old An was there too.” Yu Chu looked at a middle-aged servant behind him.

"Yes, Master is right. The young lady spoke clearly at the time, and... she was holding a child." Old An glanced at Su Yan discreetly.

"Father, Mother, I just finished my cultivation when I heard my sister was back. But what happened?" Yu Shenghuan, dressed in an ethereal white dress, came gracefully, but when she saw Su Yan standing there unharmed, she suddenly stopped talking and couldn't utter another word.

Su Yan looked at her and suddenly laughed, "I have to thank you, little sister. If you hadn't asked Granny Liu to push me off the cliff, I would have been so shocked that I could suddenly speak."

Everyone was shocked by these words.

Su Yan looked down at the vegetable garden and pulled out a weed.

Yu Chu's face darkened as he looked at Yu Shenghuan, "Huan'er, is what your sister said true?"

Madam Fang hurriedly said, "Absolutely impossible! Huan'er has been cultivating behind closed doors these past few days, preparing to enter the Spirit Awakening stage before the Immortal Dynasty's Spiritual Examination. She simply hasn't had time to do anything else."

“Yes, Father, just as Mother said, your daughter has never left the Prime Minister’s residence.” Yu Shenghuan replied, bowing her head.

Su Yan sneered, "What, you dare to do it but not dare to admit it?"

"Sister, you're slandering your younger sister. Why would I admit to something I didn't do?" Yu Shenghuan looked up at Su Yan, her gaze probing, trying to see through her and understand why she was still alive.

"Are you sure you didn't do it, little sister?" Su Yan looked at her with a smile. "Do you dare to swear an oath with your blood on this cursed talisman?"

Su Yan asked Xiao Mei for a curse talisman.

These were talismans that some students from the Divine Beast University would sell to her when she ran a general store in the Divine Realm.

The quality naturally varied, but she would accept them all in order to encourage students to practice more actively.

This cursed talisman was sold to her by a student from the Divine Beast Academy.

It's called a vow talisman. If you drip a drop of blood onto it and speak to it, the talisman will self-destruct if the truth is spoken, and will be cursed if the truth is lied. The effectiveness of the curse depends on the curser's cultivation level. For someone like Qing Linghuan, a Divine Venerable, it will have no effect. But for a lesser deity, it could be fatal.

On a whim, she asked Zulu to test her and ask him if he loved her.

Zulu dripped his blood without hesitation, then confessed his love to her, and the talisman self-destructed.

Yu Shenghuan looked at the talisman, her pretty face gradually darkening. "I don't want to drip blood. Who knows what this talisman is? Why don't you drip some blood yourself and see if it's real or fake?"

Fang also said, "That's right, you should try it first."

Su Yan immediately dripped a drop of blood onto the talisman, "Ask away?"

His gaze, however, turned toward Yu Chu.

Yu Chu frowned. The farce was absurd, but things had changed too quickly. "You... whose child is that?"

Su Yan replied, "Mine."

The talisman self-destructed.

Yu Chu was dumbfounded. "Is it really your child?"

“I’m telling the truth. And lying doesn’t go unpunished, but it’s not worth it for you.” Su Yan took out another talisman and handed it to Yu Chu. “Here, ask her if she instructed Granny Liu to push me off the cliff?”

Yu Chu took the talisman and looked at Yu Shenghuan. His expression was not as angry as when he was facing Su Yan, but kind and gentle. "Huan'er, we have nothing to fear if we are upright."

“Father! You don’t believe your daughter either?” Yu Shenghuan looked grief-stricken. “No, your daughter will not do such a foolish thing.”

"Feeling guilty, huh?" Su Yan scoffed dismissively, raising an eyebrow at Fang Shi. "Is this how you raise your daughter?"

Fang looked at the flimsy talisman—just an ordinary, yellowed piece of paper with incredibly simple runes. It was probably just some kind of magic trick, posing no real threat. Using it to blackmail them was a tactic. If they backed down, it would become a weapon against them.

“Huan’er, your father is right. What are we afraid of if we haven’t done it before?” Moreover, Madam Fang believed that Yu Shenghuan was indeed cultivating in the mansion.

Xiao Mei said to Su Yan: "[I just looked into this Fang Shi, and she doesn't know about Yu Shenghuan harming Yu Beiqiu. She's been busy fighting with Aunt Xue of Tingxuexuan lately, vying for his affections.]"

Su Yan picked a vegetable and said to Yu Shenghuan, "If you dare to try, I'll eat this vegetable and the soil along with it."

Fang's eyes lit up, and she subtly tugged at Yu Shenghuan, "Huan'er."

For some reason, Yu Shenghuan was extremely wary of the cursed talisman. "No, I don't want it!" she said, turning and running away in terror.

Su Yan thought to herself: ...She's clever.

Yu Chu held the talisman, his face extremely grim. After all, Yu Shenghuan's act of evasion was tantamount to acquiescing.

Madam Fang's expression changed slightly, and she hurriedly said, "Master, I will go and see her, and ask her in detail."

As she spoke, she instructed the maid carrying the square brocade box to walk with her.

"Wait, leave the things behind," Yu Chu said to Fang Shi.

Fang was in the wrong and dared not openly defy Yu Chu any longer, so she had her maid leave the square brocade box behind. She would get it back soon anyway.

Fang left with her personal maid.

Yu Chu handed the square brocade box to Su Yan, saying, "This was given to you by the Queen. It was previously kept by my father."

Su Yan opened the box, inside was a jade ruyi made of spirit jade.

He took out the jade ruyi, squeezed it slightly, and it turned into powder... which fell into the vegetable garden and nourished the seedlings.

"This thing is useless to me. Besides, a woman who has already had a child with another man is unacceptable to even ordinary men, let alone royalty."

Yu Chu stared at her in disbelief. "You! You wretched thing, what have you done? That was a gift from the Queen!"

[Found it!] 003 said to Su Yan, "We detected fluctuations in virus data inside the palace. However, it seems to have detected me as well. Sorry, host, we've alerted it."

Su Yan didn't bother with any more nonsense with Yu Chu and immediately teleported away to the Dayong Royal Palace.

"Qiu'er—Qiu'er—" Yu Chu called out hurriedly, but Su Yan had already disappeared without a trace.

“Master, it seems that the eldest young lady not only speaks well, but also inherited the late madam’s talent for cultivation,” Old An said to Yu Chu.

Yu Chu frowned, looking at the cursed talisman in his hand. "How is this possible? Her spiritual root had already withered when she was seven years old. Could it have redeveloped?"

Old An was also very puzzled. "By the way, sir, the eldest young lady has a servant named Ling Yue. Perhaps he knows about the eldest young lady's situation."

"Bring him here to me right now!"

"Yes."
