With a wave of his hand, the Prince's Mansion's fortune exploded throughout the entire cap

Fang Yuchan blushed and said, "I'll do whatever my great-aunt says."

Fang Yuhua patted her hand, her eyes slightly mischievous: "There are a lot of people here. Later, you can quietly tell your great-aunt. Your great-aunt and your grandmother will definitely pick out a good one for you."

"Choose a good young man from a family with upright character and who is ambitious."

After saying that, he said, "It's getting late, Fusheng. Rui'er is still waiting for you at Wutongzhai. Go quickly. Let's go to the banquet hall too."

"Grandmother, let Chan'er help you."

[Huh? It's my maternal grandmother and aunt! The dark aura on my aunt is gone! Yay!]

But why did it disappear? Did they dig up what was under the willow tree?

When Lu Wenshu, who was tidying up Xiao Jingjing's clothes, heard her thoughts, she thought of the things her older brother and Fusheng had brought the day after she returned from her parents' home, and her eyes turned cold.

On the day.

After Xiao Jingjing's first attempt at morning exercise failed, she returned to her room to rest. Qingya, who was by the prince's side, hurriedly came to invite her to the study in the front yard.

Inside the study, Xiao Chengyan sat behind his desk, with his uncle and nephew sitting opposite him, and a box between them.

When Lu Wenshu arrived, the room was deathly silent, except for the aroma of Gu Zhu Zisun hot tea.

She sat down next to Xiao Chengyan and looked at her elder brother: "Brother, what happened?"

The eldest brother of the Lu family said in a deep voice, "Little sister, take a look."

Seeing the box pushed over by her older brother, Lu Wenshu tentatively opened it a little bit.

With just one glance, Lu Wenshu slammed the box shut, her lips trembling: "But...from under that willow tree..."

The eldest brother of the Lu family nodded.

Xiao Chengyan held Lu Wenshu's trembling hand: "Shu'er, calm down."

Lu Wenshu's face was deathly pale, devoid of any color.

Although I only saw it once, the image of the puppet dressed in bright yellow clothes, with its birth date and time attached to it and needles stuck in its body was already deeply imprinted in my mind.

Jingjing said that many of the people she saw were...

The crime of exterminating an entire clan.

Such crimes are useless even with an imperial edict.

"Auntie, it's always good that we found it first."

As Lu Fusheng picked up the tea, he looked at his father and said, "Father, this is Gu Zhu Zi Sun tea. You can't drink such good tea anywhere else except here with my uncle. If you don't drink it now, it will get cold."

"Fleeting life?"

Lu Wenshu gradually came to her senses and looked at her calm nephew.

"Aunt, since someone wants to pin such a crime on the Lu family, it will surely cause a stir in the court. Why not use this opportunity to gain a good reputation?"

Lu Wenshu nodded upon hearing this: "You're right. Fusheng, your aunt still has many scriptures copied three years ago. The paper and ink are old. Today, I'll have Fudong, no, I'll have Qingya send them over."

"My aunt and Fusheng have the same idea. However, we'll only take a portion. My mother also copies scriptures every year to pray for the army and the people on the frontier. The Ksitigarbha Sutra and the Infinite Scripture that my mother embroidered three years ago will also be buried together."

Xiao Chengyan took Lu Wenshu's hand and clasped it with his own: "Later, I'll have Qingya send your scriptures, along with the blood-stained flag I brought back from the southwest, to the Minister's residence. Are you relieved now?"

"Okay. I'll head back now; there's still a lot to do at the banquet."

Seeing that her elder brother hadn't said much, Lu Wenshu understood that they still had things to discuss.

"Sister, Fusheng will be participating in the autumn imperial examination this year."

"This year? Fusheng is only sixteen. Didn't your older brother say last time that he wanted him to gain more experience?"

The eldest brother of the Lu family revealed a faint smile on his serious face: "Those who buried this thing might wait three years, or they might wait even longer. It's better to force it out. Rui'er will be taking the academy exam soon, won't he?"

Lu Wenshu understood immediately: "That's right, we have to force the person hiding in the shadows to come out."

-

Just then, Xiao Mingzhu had finished dressing up and stepped into the banquet hall again. She saw her mother wearing a complete set of kingfisher feather and sapphire headdress and kingfisher feather and glass pearl crown, as well as her sister-in-law wearing a vermilion silk brocade lotus pattern wide-sleeved front-buttoned shirt, nine flower hairpins made according to the regulations for princesses, a gold phoenix hairpin given by the empress, and a medium-length draped necklace.

Xiao Mingzhu was silent for a moment.

Her outfit just now was indeed not formal enough.

Wow! Who are they? So beautiful! So beautiful!

[Who are all these people? Aside from her grandmother, maternal grandmother, and aunt, Jingjing doesn't recognize a single one of them?]

"Mother~ Beautiful sister~"

Lu Wenshu followed Jingjing's gaze, and the smile in her eyes gradually replaced the coldness: "Little Jingjing is right, this is your cousin Chan'er."

Fang Yuhua looked at Fang Yuchan beside her: "Chan'er, Jingjing has been ignoring so many of us, but she's only looking at you~"

Supporting Fang Yuhua, Fang Yuchan's cheeks were rosy: "Grandmother, please don't tease Chan'er. Sister Jingjing is innocent and lively, and Yuxue is lovely. Chan'er likes her too."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingjing hugged Fang Yuchan's legs tightly after Fang Yuhua sat down, saying, "Sister Chan'er~"

[Sister Chan'er smells so good and comfortable~]

[Huh? Why is there something green on Sister Chan'er's aura?]

[What's going on? Just like my aunt, I can't see the color of her aura, but I can see other things, and those things have colors?]

Lu Wenshu paused, holding the teacup. The black aura swirling around her sister-in-law's fortune must be malevolent energy, the malevolent energy that could potentially lead to the extermination of her clan.

However, Chan'er had been living with General Fang Qi in the southern border since she was six years old, and it was only ten years later that she returned.

What is this lingering green mist?

green?

That's it! Chan'er's top priority upon returning to the capital is her engagement, isn't that right?

[Sister Chan...Jingjing is looking at you again!]

A faint red magical power probed into Fang Yuchan's body from Jingjing's hand.

[What is this? What is this? Is Sister Chan'er crying? Why are you seeing a man and a woman hugging each other?]

That man is so beautiful! He looks like a woman!

It seems things aren't going well for her marriage!

Fang Yuhua & Lu Wenshu: We will not consider any men who look like women!

"Little Jingjing, why aren't you letting go of your sister Chan and letting her sit down? You haven't greeted any of the other pretty people yet!"

"Oh, I'm sorry, Grandma, Jingjing was wrong."

After saying that, she looked at the Lu family mother-in-law and daughter-in-law beside her: "Jingjing greets her maternal grandmother and aunt."

Then, turning around, she looked at Xiao Mingzhu, who was wearing a light blue Shu brocade pomegranate-patterned skirt with a hundred flowers and a bright face: "Pretty auntie~"

Looking at the sweetly smiling little Jingjing in front of her, Xiao Mingzhu was overjoyed: "Little Jingjing, let Auntie give you a hug~"

"aunt!"

[Jingjing knows that her aunt is her father's sister.]

Xiao Mingzhu's upturned lips froze for a moment. Looking up and seeing her mother and sister-in-law standing motionless, she gently shook her head. How could that be?

[Huh? Something's blocking Auntie's luck. A small portion of it isn't flowing freely within the luck cluster?]

That's strange.

[Oh no, where's my "Law of Qi Circulation"?!]
