After experiencing the end of the world and traveling back to this inexplicable dynasty, Xu Yao felt that there must be ghosts and gods in this world, and maybe even immortals who practiced cultivation.

When she first entered this body, there were some strange fragments in her mind. Xu Yao felt that it was a world similar to that of immortal cultivators.

But when she traveled through time two years ago, she was in poor health. She had been ill for a long time and her memory was sporadic.

She once tried to recall those fragments in her mind, but as time went by, those fragments became blurred. Her memories were all shrouded in this body, and she completely became a little girl.

Sometimes Xu Yao would wonder if there really were ghosts and gods in this world?

Now, after hearing Chef Zhao talking about evil magic, he suddenly became interested and asked curiously.

Chef Zhao thought, there should be.

She couldn't resist the temptation of the roast chicken, so she took a bite of the chicken leg and her mouth was filled with grease, feeling very satisfied.

"I remember that the year when Aunt Huang got into trouble was when the master doted on her the most. Although the lady acted virtuous, we are all women, so how could we not see that the lady was jealous of Aunt Huang? Especially at that time, the lady had not given birth to a child, and the old lady disliked her, saying that she couldn't even capture a man's heart, and she was very disgusted with her."

One month before Aunt Huang's accident, the lady went back to her parents' home, saying that she wanted to follow her mother to the Taoist temple to burn incense and worship Buddha, asking the God to give her a child.

There is a powerful Taoist priest in Qingfeng Temple, who is said to be very good at matters related to fertility.

The lady stayed in the Taoist temple for a day, and not long after she came back, something happened to Aunt Huang.

Xu Yao smiled, thinking this was a bit ridiculous, "How can you be sure that this is related to Madam?"

Mrs. Zhao looked at the door and saw that no one was peeping in, so she lowered her voice and said, "You don't know, after the Madam came back, she secretly sent some things to Aunt Huang's yard."

"what?"

"I also heard it from someone. There was a woman named Han in the mansion. She patrolled the inner house at night. One time, she saw Chanjuan in the mistress's yard and sneaked into Aunt Huang's yard.

Mrs. Han saw her sneaking around and followed her out of curiosity. As a result, she saw Chanjuan secretly digging a hole in Aunt Huang's yard, as if she had buried something.

Mrs. Han was very curious and wanted to go and take a look, but she was frightened when she heard the cat's meow and ran away quickly.

When Mrs. Zhao came to this point, she couldn't help but remind her: "When you work in a place like this, if you accidentally see something, you must pretend that you didn't see it and keep your mouth shut. Don't tell anyone, otherwise you will bring disaster upon yourself."

"How do you say this?"

Chef Zhao sighed and said that it was Mrs. Han who harmed herself with her mouth.

After Aunt Huang got into trouble, Mrs. Han once told everyone about the incident while drinking with them.

Then not long after, both Mrs. Han and Chanjuan disappeared.

The government announced to the public that Chanjuan had been redeemed and that Mrs. Han was sent to the manor because she was sick. However, Cook Zhao vaguely heard from others that there was indeed a pit dug in Aunt Huang's yard, with unclean things buried in it.

But outsiders have no way of knowing what is inside.

At that time, everyone vaguely guessed that this matter might really be like what Mrs. Han said, that the lady ordered Chanjuan to bury something unclean in Aunt Huang's yard, which caused her to suddenly go crazy and finally hang herself.

The senior official seemed to have heard the news and went to his wife to make a fuss about this matter.

As a result, his wife fainted due to his anger. He called a doctor and said that she was pregnant. This way, the master could no longer embarrass his wife because of the concubine's matter.

Mrs. Zhao sighed, "If you say that Madam didn't do this, I don't believe it. But if you say that Madam really did something, there is really no evidence to prove it."

The whereabouts of Chanjuan and Han Pozi are unknown. Although the Liu family is not as wealthy as the nobles, they are also a wealthy family of officials.

In a house like this, if someone suddenly disappears, they can always find a legitimate reason to cover it up.

After the lady became pregnant, she took the opportunity to clean up the Liu family's mansion inside and out. From then on, no one dared to mention anything about Aunt Huang.

Xu Yao smiled: "Then why don't you tell me?"

Mrs. Zhao rolled her eyes at her, as if she were a naughty child, and said, "You are half my daughter, and I am only trying to give you some advice."

Xu Yao was happy and tore off another piece of roast chicken for her.

After Aunt Huang's death, the lady became pregnant one after another and gave birth to the first son, the second daughter, and the third son.

The servants all said privately that Aunt Huang might be the reincarnation of a fox spirit, who was preventing the original wife from having children.

As soon as she died, the lady became pregnant one after another. Isn't this exorcising the demon?

Xu Yao listened with great interest and found it very funny.

How could Madam Guang be pregnant and give birth to a child on her own? Without Aunt Huang, the master could not control his belt, so naturally Madam Huang found ways to lure him into the house, and that was how the children were born one after another.

Even if Aunt Huang is not a vixen, she has to bear this reputation. Otherwise, how can she cover up the suspicion that the lady murdered her?

Xu Yao chuckled and shook his head, slightly disappointed.

There was no evil magic involved. It was just a fight between two women in the inner house, and the result was a life-and-death struggle.

Xu Yao ate something else before returning to Liu Moyan's courtyard.

She concealed the matter of the treasure box and only said that it had been disposed of.

Liu Moyan was very twisted. It was obvious that she was the one who had to return the things, but after returning the things, she was still tangled in her heart and asked unwillingly: "Then...what did he say?"

Xu Yao sighed in her heart, but said blankly, "Of course I am angry. The young master has you in his heart, and he is reluctant to part with you like this. From what I see, the young master will not be willing to let you go. Do you really want to enter the palace for the selection?"

When Liu Moyan heard that the young master was unwilling to give up on her, she felt happy but also conflicted.

She paced back and forth depressed and anxious, and finally sat down on the couch angrily.

"So what if I'm unwilling? It's still..." She paused, as if she didn't want to talk about it anymore. Seeing Xu Yao standing there in a daze, she felt that she definitely didn't understand what she meant.

"No matter what happens in the future, there is no possibility for me and him to be together anymore. I can't go to the Princess' birthday party on the day of the Queen's Day either. Please help me find a way to refuse."

She gave the order with just one sentence, a delicate and rude command with a hint of arrogance, and it was obvious that she was spoiled and willful.

Xu Yao didn't take it to heart. Since their status were different, there was nothing to worry about. She nodded and agreed, and spent two peaceful days.

Two days later, Mrs. Zhang of the Liu family would bring her two daughters to attend a banquet at the Grand Princess's residence.

Xu Yao didn’t know what the relationship between Zhang and Aunt Huang was like?

But Zhang was indeed a tolerant person. After Aunt Huang died, in order to demonstrate her own virtue, she took Aunt Huang's daughter to her side to raise her.

Not only was she well-educated and well-mannered, but she was also treated no differently than her own daughter.

No matter where she went to a banquet, she would bring her eldest daughter with her. She even didn't care if her younger daughter was outshined by her elder daughter.

Xu Yao heard that the young lady used to like to compete with the older lady, but since she fell into the water, her personality changed drastically and she gave in to her elder sister in everything, which was very strange.
