The Crown Princess calculated with her fingers and the prince was terrified.

Jiang Xianyue nodded at Huo Rujing.

Jiang Xianyue still remembered Huo Rujing. According to the timeline, Jiang Xianyue had heard a little about the death of his wife. Then, in the next battle, he was tricked into a desperate situation and was surrounded and killed. He died young.

Now, faint black energy can be seen gathering between Huo Rujing's brows.

Jiang Xianyue wasn't in a hurry about what would happen next; right now, it was difficult to convince Huo Rujing of the situation.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xianyue turned around, first lit an incense stick for the deceased, and then looked into Huo Rujing's eyes.

"Miss Su died a violent death, and her resentment lingers, making it difficult for her to be reincarnated. Does General Huo wish to know the truth?"

When Jiang Xianyue spoke, Huo Rujing was first surprised, then looked at Jiang Xianyue with a puzzled expression.

"What does Miss Jiang mean?"

Zhao Xiuxiu quickly spoke up.

"General Huo, this Miss Jiang has some knowledge of divination and exorcism. You've heard Rou Rou mention my possession by evil spirits before, right? It was Miss Jiang who resolved it."

Now, Miss Jiang runs a shop in the capital called Tianxing Pavilion, which is dedicated to resolving such matters for people.

"I have heard of the name Tianxing Pavilion and I am aware of this matter."

But Miss Jiang looks young and is from a prominent family, how could she possibly…

Since the Emperor had already let Liu Miaomiao's matter go, Zhao Xiuxiu naturally couldn't bring it up again, so she could only explain it in a different way.

“Miss Jiang was brought back from outside, so she learned some things while she was away, and she is quite skilled.”

Although Huo Rujing looked suspicious, he didn't say he didn't believe her.

After all, Su Rou had mentioned those things about Zhao Xiuxiu.

However, the young general remained hesitant.

"Before Miss Su passed away, she must have told General Huo a lot about her family, as well as about Su Ying and the Lu family, which must have come up before you were discussing marriage."

When Jiang Xianyue said this, Huo Rujing nodded as if he understood but not quite.

“It’s not surprising that Miss Jiang knows these things, since Miss Zhao knows them too.”

"Something must have happened to the Su family before the marriage."

When this was mentioned, Huo Rujing hesitated.

"It's about Su Ying."

Huo Rujing nodded.

This matter is a secret. Su Ying went to Ciyun Mountain to offer incense before and was possessed by an evil spirit. He was the one who saved her. After she returned, the Su family did not thank him and even tried to break up his marriage with Su Rou. Therefore, Huo Rujing remembered it vividly.

However, since this matter concerns the innocence of the Prime Minister's daughter, Huo Rujing did not even tell his close relatives.

Even Zhao Xiuxiu didn't know.

"Now that things have come to this, there's no point in hiding it. That's right. This general did save the second daughter of the Su family."

"Tell me carefully."

Huo Rujing is furious. The Su family comes to his door every day demanding Su Rou's body. However, Huo Rujing is unwilling to let Su Rou be taken back because Su Rou has already entered the Huo family and is now the Huo family's bride. He would rather marry Su Rou's corpse than let Su Rou be taken back. He and the Prime Minister's Mansion are at odds every day.

"That day, Rou Rou went to offer incense, and I went to Ciyun Temple to find her."

It wasn't some secret affair. Rou Rou and I had been engaged for a long time, and everyone in the Prime Minister's mansion knew about it. At first, the mistress and the second young lady looked down on my status and often mocked me for being a toad trying to eat swan meat. Only Rou Rou was there for me without any regrets.

However, after I distinguished myself and became a third-rank general, Su Ying's tone changed. I had no intention of saving her, but she was alone and behaving very strangely, as if possessed. In my haste, I rescued Su Ying and sent her back.”

Huo Rujing still vividly remembers the details of the incident.

"Is Su Ying's vision unfocused, and is she unable to recognize people clearly? Is she devoid of all five senses, and does she not respond when called?"

Huo Rujing thought for a moment.

“Miss Jiang is right.”

Jiang Xianyue then took a deep breath.

"The Su family used Su Rou's fate to exchange for Su Ying's destiny. I noticed something was wrong on Ciyun Mountain before, that there might be evil spirits lurking there. Su Ying happened to go there for some reason and was then possessed by something, so she became dazed and confused, and her five senses were unclear."

Su Ying's sudden desire to marry you is also a ploy to exchange everything for Su Rou. But if this plan fails, there's another one, which might even endanger General Huo.

Zhao Xiuxiu suddenly interrupted.

"If we take back what Su Ying stole, can Rou Rou come back to life? Rou Rou is a kind person and shouldn't have such an outcome."

Jiang Xianyue shook her head regretfully.

“Miss Su Rou is not possessed by an evil spirit, but has actually died. How can a dead person come back to life? Even if I had extraordinary abilities, I couldn’t do anything about it. Now, all I can do is take her things back.”

Everything was silent, as if an eternity had passed.

Huo Rujing spoke up.

"I have achieved great things all so that I can be a match for Rou Rou. She has always helped me and never abandoned me."

Even if Rou Rou cannot come back to life, she is still my wife, and I will take back everything she has.

Huo Rujing's statement was certain.

"Even at the cost of one's life."

"No need."

Jiang Xianyue felt that Huo Rujing was really pessimistic. Just as she was about to say something, Huo Rujing suddenly knelt down in front of Jiang Xianyue.

The movement was sudden and caught Jiang Xianyue off guard. When she tried to help Huo Rujing up, Huo Rujing had already straightened his back and clasped his hands in a gesture of respect, making it difficult for Jiang Xianyue to make a move.

“Miss Jiang, after listening to your analysis, which was neither humble nor arrogant, and was very logical, I have come to believe Miss Zhao. You are a capable person.”

The people from the Star Palace came several times, but each time they gave evasive answers and offered no explanation. We beg Miss Jiang to give us an explanation. Huo Rujing is willing to dedicate his life to repaying you and His Highness the Crown Prince.

Jiang Xianyue took a deep breath before bending down to help Huo Rujing up.

"Since I promised Miss Zhao that I would come, I will definitely resolve the matter. General Huo, please allow me a few days, and I will give you an explanation."

Moreover, Su Rou's unnatural death will definitely affect her reincarnation. If this matter is not resolved, Su Rou will also find it difficult to have a peaceful end.

If everything is resolved in the end, I can arrange a meeting between you.

Upon hearing Jiang Xianyue's words, Huo Rujing's eyes lit up instantly.

"However, this time we will charge 100 taels for the divination. This is the rule in our line of work. We get paid to do the job."

Huo Rujing nodded quickly.

Huo Rujing was about to withdraw silver to give to Jiang Xianyue.

One hundred taels doesn't seem like much, but the people from the Star Palace came over and said a few casual words, and they still demanded five hundred taels for travel expenses. Although Huo Rujing has always been law-abiding and has no other way to make money, he can still afford it.

People from the Prime Minister's residence suddenly arrived.

The Prime Minister's wife, Liu Yan, and Su Ying followed Prime Minister Su to the Huo residence.

Liu Yan looked at the coffin in the main hall.

"General Huo, you and Su Rou haven't even had a wedding ceremony. We're here to take Su Rou home."
