The daughter of the Marquis is too delicate, the abstinent prince pinches her waist and loves her

Chapter 42 Live well

Sheng Yukun had tears in his eyes. The once majestic marquis had never been so humble: "Master Changxuan, please save my daughter. She still has a bright future!"

Lu Changxuan said to Sheng Yukun: "Master has already told me the general situation, and I have already thought of a countermeasure on the way here."

He raised his hand and pointed at Bai Linghuan, who was lying on the ground sobbing. His eyes were filled with disgust and hatred. He gritted his teeth and said, "Take her and follow me!"

Sheng Yukun waved his hand and asked the servant to pick up Bai Linghuan, who had cried unconsciously and was in a daze, and followed Lu Changxuan and others out the door.

In the backyard, he stood in front of a tree and looked up, with a group of people following behind him.

He reached out and touched the tree, then shook his head, ran to another tree, and did this several times in a row. Everyone behind him was gasping for breath.

He finally stopped in front of a tall willow tree and nodded with satisfaction.

Sheng Yukun asked doubtfully: "Master Changxuan, what does this mean?"

Lu Changxuan raised his hand and pointed at Bai Linghuan. He seemed to feel unlucky again, and rolled his eyes at her unhappily, then put his hand down and said, "Bai Linghuan is weak to begin with. After taking up Sheng Qiuyao's life span, the two of them can only barely live for eight or nine years. Sheng Qiuyao's symbiotic spell cannot be removed, so Bai Linghuan can only save her life."

"Exchange lives?" Sheng Yukun frowned and asked, "Whose life do you want to exchange?"

Lu Changxuan patted the willow in front of him and said, "Its."

After he finished speaking, everyone opened their eyes wide in shock.

"Is this possible?" Sheng Yukun said in disbelief.

Sheng Yunqing said softly: "I believe in you, Senior Brother."

"Without further delay, go get Bai Linghuan's birth date!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the servants hurriedly prepared the food and brought it to Lu Changxuan.

Lu Changxuan cut Bai Linghuan's wrist with a dagger and pointed at the blood flowing from her wrist. The blood slowly flowed through the air until it was led to the willow tree and irrigated the entire trunk.

He pasted Bai's birth date on the tree, closed his eyes and chanted a spell, and the paper slowly disappeared.

After a long while, he exhaled softly and said, "This willow tree fills in her fate, so it should be able to hide it from the heavens. The tree is healthy, so it won't be a problem for it to live another 70 or 80 years. In this way, Sheng Qiuyao's life is saved."

Hearing this, Bai, whose face was pale and weak after having her blood drawn, smiled in relief and said, "That's great..."

Sheng Yunqing closed his eyes and exhaled, then turned to look at Bai and said, "Yes, that's great."

Sheng Yukun picked up the sword and walked quickly towards Bai, saying, "You vicious woman!"

"Wait." Ye Jinchen pointed his slender fingers at the sword that was about to stab Bai, mixing in some internal force to make him unable to move.

Sheng Yukun frowned in confusion and asked, "Why did your Highness stop me?"

Ye Jinchen exhaled lightly and said, "Marquis Sheng and Bai have three children. Even though Bai committed such a heinous crime, do you want to tell your descendants that your father killed your mother with his own hands?"

Sheng Yukun was stunned for a moment, looking conflicted.

If the three of them harbor any grudges against each other, there is no guarantee that they will not become enemies with Sheng Yunqing in the future.

Ye Jinchen raised his hand and waved to the guards accompanying him.

Two guards came forward, he looked at Bai coldly and said, "Drag her away and beat her to death with sticks."

"Yes." After saying that, the two guards carried Bai and walked quickly to the corner. "Hahahaha... Yao'er won't die, she won't die..." Bai's expression was almost crazy, and the laughter that was about to leave gradually turned into a shrill wail.

Ye Jinchen looked at Sheng Yukun and said, "If you are not comfortable doing it, let me do it."

Sheng Yukun bowed to Ye Jinchen and said, "I would like to thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."

He also bowed to Lu Changxuan and said, "Thank you Taoist Changxuan for saving my daughter."

"Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. What's more, that vicious woman hurt our most beloved sister and implicated innocent people. It's simply hateful. What I did was right!"

Ye Jinchen looked at Lu Changxuan's back, narrowed his eyes slightly, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his obsidian eyes.

In the distance, the voice became tragic and mournful, but not a single word was a plea for mercy.

The voices became smaller and smaller, and then there was no sound. Two guards came back to report, saying, "Your Majesty, Bai is dead."

Ye Jinchen nodded, looked sideways at Sheng Yunqing, and said, "How should we deal with her body?"

Sheng Yunqing wiped the tears from her face, sniffed, looked up at the sky, and said, "Qiuyao said that she wanted to settle her mother, so let's build a tombstone for her, drag her down and bury her in a place where I will never see her."

Sheng Yukun nodded and ordered people to get started.

At night, the ancestral hall was silent.

Sheng Yunqing curled up against the foot of the table. She had spent the afternoon in the ancestral hall crying heart-wrenchingly in front of the tablets of her parents and younger brothers and sisters. Now she was exhausted and had fallen asleep.

When she woke up, the maid had secretly lit the lantern. She had been covered with a soft and comfortable quilt, and next to her were some of her favorite cakes.

She said she wanted to stay alone in the ancestral hall for a while and no one would come to disturb her, but Sheng Yukun had been secretly caring about her.

Sheng Yukun felt guilty towards their family and always wanted to do his best to make it up to her and let her feel the warmth of home.

With a creaky sound, the wooden door was pushed open and Sheng Yi walked over with small steps.

He squatted in front of Sheng Yunqing, handed her the delicious food in his hand, and said, "Big sister, have some food."

Sheng Yunqing took the bowl and chopsticks, lowered his head and ate a few mouthfuls of rice, and said softly: "Thank you."

Sheng Yi sat beside her and said, "Mother can't sing to me to sleep today."

Sheng Yunqing paused while eating, swallowed the food in his mouth, and said with a forced smile: "Your mother has gone to a very far place. She will come back when Yi'er grows up."

Sheng Yi lowered his head and said, "My mother killed my elder sister's family. She will never come back."

Sheng Yunqing frowned slightly and asked, "You know everything?"

Sheng Yi nodded and said, "I saw it in the corner of the hall." He raised his hand to wipe the tears that were about to overflow from Sheng Yunqing's eyes, and said, "I'm so sorry, my mother made my elder sister sad."

Sheng Yunqing sighed softly. She didn't know how to face such a young child: "Yier..."

Sheng Yi lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, I took away cousin Sheng Xiao's position. Big sister, Yi'er didn't mean it. Yi'er wants to give it back to cousin. What should I do?"

"What are you talking about?" Sheng Yunqing raised his hand and touched his head, saying, "Silly boy, you all have to live well, live well for your cousins, and feel the beauty of this world for them."

Hearing this, Sheng Yi nodded and said, "Sheng Yi understands."
