Have you been to the underworld?

Learn skills from the judge?

Unheard of! Absolutely absurd! Even a three-year-old wouldn't believe such an outrageous lie!

Ye Tianxing immediately looked at Jiang Ling with disdain, "Second Miss, don't you think before you lie?"

"Mother didn't lie!"

Jiang Yuyan puffed out his cheeks angrily, clenched his little fists, and glared at Ye Tianxing, wanting to teach him a lesson! But Jiang Ling interrupted him by raising her hand and patting his head. Jiang Ling winked at him, her smile gentle and soothing, "Good boy, leave it to Mommy."

Jiang Yuyan pouted and mumbled in a childish voice, "Be a good boy, baby. Baby is a good boy."

“Yes, our little one is a good baby~” Jiang Ling gently coaxed the baby. Turning to look at Ye Tianxing, her tone became cold and composed, “What if what I said is true?”

"Impossible! Only the dead go to the underworld!" Ye Tianxing's eyes sharpened instantly. After speaking, he flipped his hand and took out a bronze mirror, intending to shine it on Jiang Ling.

Seeing this, Wang Jingkang quickly stepped in front of Jiang Ling and shouted, "Ye Tianxing, what are you doing!"

Holding the bronze mirror, Ye Tianxing's eyes were sharp and righteous. "This is my master's demon-revealing mirror. No matter if it's a demon or a vengeful ghost, nothing can hide under its light! If she really went to the underworld, then she is a ghost!"

"As the head of the Imperial Observatory, I must send her back to the underworld! Wang Jingkang, get out of my way!"

"No way!" Wang Jingkang was furious, spreading his arms wide to firmly protect Jiang Ling. He roared angrily, "Ye Tianxing, are you crazy? How can there be ghosts in broad daylight! Put it down, you're not allowed to shine the light on my Ling'er sister!"

The two men faced off, comparing whose eyes could be bigger, which looked rather funny.

Crown Prince Murong Jingming grew impatient and directly threatened and intimidated: "General of the Northern Garrison, what are your intentions in allowing Wang Jingkang to obstruct the Imperial Observatory's work in catching ghosts? Old Marquis, you are protecting evil spirits, which is a serious crime! If Father Emperor blames you, can you bear the consequences?"

Wang Dewu's face was full of anger, his fierce eyes glaring at Murong Jingming, his voice loud and firm: "Jiang Ling is definitely not a ghost!"

The old marquis's face darkened immediately. "Is the Crown Prince blind? My granddaughter is a human being!"

Three generations of her family were protecting her, which warmed Jiang Ling's heart, and a smile appeared on her face. Jiang Ling raised her hand and tugged at Wang Jingkang: "Second brother, it's alright, please move aside."

Wang Jingkang turned to look at her, wanting to say something, but when he met her beautiful and lively eyes, he finally pursed his lips, straightened his face, and stepped aside.

"Ye Tianxing, if my sister Ling'er isn't like that, then you should apologize to her!"

"Very well! I, Ye Tianxing, will not wrong an innocent person, nor will I let evil spirits and monsters go unpunished!" Ye Tianxing, upright and honorable, straightened his chest and held the demon-revealing mirror to Jiang Ling. "Second Miss, please forgive my rudeness, but please remove your veil!"

Jiang Ling nonchalantly removed her veil, revealing her grotesque face, distorted and disfigured by the fire.

"Ugh! Ugly monster!" Murong Jingming deliberately vomited, his eyes filled with hatred and contempt, and he even took two steps back.

If it were any other woman, she might have been offended or hurt by his behavior. But Jiang Ling completely ignored him, not even giving him a second glance. Murong Jingming's act was useless; instead, he was met with angry glares from the old Marquis and the others, which made him even more upset.

Jiang Ling urged softly, "Master Ye, what are you waiting for?"

Ye Tianxing immediately concealed the shock in his eyes and raised the Demon-Revealing Mirror towards Jiang Ling. Under the radiance of the mirror, Jiang Ling showed no discomfort whatsoever.

In the mirror, she was a vivid human figure, without any sinister or ghostly aura.

Ye Tianxing: "Second Miss is not a ghost."

"See!" Wang Jingkang rolled up his sleeves, brandishing his fist and threatening, "Ye Tianxing, apologize to my little sister Ling'er right now!"

"Wait! She's not a ghost, she could be a monster! Ye Tianxing, I order you to take another good look! There can be no mistakes!" Crown Prince Murong Jingming's malice was blatantly displayed on his face, making no attempt to hide his vicious intent to kill Jiang Ling.

They must find every possible excuse and reason to kill Jiang Ling!

The three generations of the family were furious. If he weren't the crown prince, they would have already beaten him up!

Ye Tianxing activated the Demon-Revealing Mirror and examined Jiang Ling again, but there was still no problem. However, Murong Jingming was staring intently at him, so Ye Tianxing had to go through another procedure. He asked, "May I ask for the Second Miss's birth date and time?"

Jiang Ling crossed her arms and spoke calmly.

Ye Tianxing quickly calculated with his fingers, then frowned and stared at her in shock, "You!"

"Is there a problem? I knew it! I was right! Ye Tianxing, tell me quickly, what did you calculate!" Murong Jingming was so impatient and excited that he was almost ready to give the order to call the guards outside to kill him.

Ye Tianxing did not answer, and with a solemn expression, she counted on her fingers again.

what happened?

This person's birth chart indicates they are dead! They died three years ago!

But Jiang Ling stood vividly before him, breathing and with a heartbeat; even the demon-revealing mirror couldn't detect anything wrong. Could it be true, as Jiang Ling said, that she died, went to the underworld, and was then sent back to the mortal realm by the judge?

Ye Tianxing's worldview was shattered; he was completely bewildered.

No! I have to go back and consult my master!

Ye Tianxing was in a hurry to leave, so he quickly clasped his hands in a fist and bowed to Jiang Ling to apologize: "Second Miss, I'm so sorry! I apologize to you! Your Highness, the Second Miss is not a demon, she is a human! I still have to report to the Regent, so I'll take my leave now!"

Ye Tianxing ran away as soon as she finished speaking.

Murong Jingming's plan failed, and he was so enraged that he cursed, "That good-for-nothing Ye Tianxing! I'm going to invite the Imperial Advisor!"

Jiang Ling put her veil back on and looked at Murong Jingming with icy eyes, "Did the Crown Prince sleep well last night?"

"You! What do you mean? You did it!" Murong Jingming suddenly realized that last night he had been terrified by the female ghost, eunuch ghost, and tragic ghost in the palace, so much so that he wet his pants and ran away to ask the Grand Preceptor for a talisman to protect him.

It was Jiang Ling who harmed him!

"What did the Crown Prince say? I don't understand. I was just concerned." Jiang Ling curled her lips, and the burn scars on her face began to move, like a female demon descending.

Jiang Ling took a few steps closer to Murong Jingming and said in a cold, threatening voice that only the two of them could hear, "Your Highness, the fate you stole will eventually be returned! You false dragon, dreaming of ascending the throne, are delusional!"

Instantly, a chill shot straight to the top of his head, and Murong Jingming broke out in a cold sweat.

His eyes widened in anger and panic as he roared, "Ugly freak, what nonsense are you spouting! How dare you curse me! You are incredibly ugly, vicious, and a promiscuous slut! I will never marry you!"

Jiang Ling took a step back in disgust, her eyes cold and contemptuous as she looked him over. "Your Highness, you are not worthy to marry me."

"You!!" Murong Jingming was furious.

How dare that ugly woman look down on him?

He wanted to make that ugly freak regret it and kneel down to beg for his forgiveness!

Murong Jingming turned around and grabbed Wang Wanyue to his side, deliberately shouting, "I only acknowledge Wanyue as the second young lady of the Marquis of Zhongyi's mansion! Wanyue, I will take you to see the Empress Dowager now. I will marry you in a grand and glorious ceremony!"

"Only you, Wanyue, are worthy to be my Crown Princess. You ugly hag aren't even fit to wash my feet! Wanyue, let's go!"
