The uncle borrowed some merits, and the princess drew the talisman fiercely

Whenever the Zheng family thinks back to those days in Daxing Village, Mengjiang City, they feel a little scared.

But at least they came back and survived.

The fairy told them that as long as they could hold on for a few more days and help her finish her work, she would teach them how to see their poor eldest daughter again.

In order to see their daughter again, the family of three held on there.

Now I'm finally home.

Zheng's father, Zheng Asi, looked at his youngest daughter, Zheng Xian, and felt a little distressed.

In just such a short period of time, Zheng Xian lost a lot of weight and became much weaker.

She used to be a girl who acted in a hurry and had a slightly hot temper, but now she seemed to have lost all her energy. She rested countless times along the way and almost couldn't make it back.

Moreover, Zheng Xian didn't say a word on the way back to the city and home.

She used to be a chattering and lively girl.

The neighbor opened the door and walked out. Seeing that Zheng's door was finally open, he hurried over.

"Oh! Uncle Si, what happened to you? Why do you look like this?"

When the neighbors saw the family of three, they were shocked.

This family was poor before, and the people were already thin. After not seeing them for a while, they became even thinner! They were like three skeletons, and they would fall down at the slightest breeze.

Looking at Zheng Xian again, the neighbor's eyes widened even more.

"Zheng Xian, what's wrong? How long have you been starving her?"

Although Zheng Xian was thin before, she was still slender and elegant. Both daughters of the Zheng family have excellent looks.

But now Zheng Xian is so thin that she looks unrecognizable.

Also, why do your eyes look so lifeless and dull?

"Uncle Si, Aunt Si, you, you didn't ask Zheng Xian to do something, did you?" The neighbors couldn't help but guess.

I heard that some poor families who really couldn't make ends meet, but didn't want their daughters to sell themselves into prostitution, so they found some unconventional ways to send their daughters to some thrill-seeking masters, to have fun for a while, and then take some money home.

This way, she won't have to sell herself, and she can find an honest and simple man to marry in the future. She can do some tricks on the wedding night to conceal the fact that she is not innocent.

However, those who find this way may be masters with some quirks, and some may be tortured to the point of being half dead.

Looking at Zheng Xian's expression, could it be that she was just unlucky and found some weird master?

"What nonsense are you talking about?!"

Aunt Zheng was furious when she heard what she said, "You want to ruin my Xian'er's reputation, don't you? If you keep saying that, I'll tear your mouth off!"

This is considered a slum area.

The Zheng family had also heard about the dark things happening behind the scenes.

But they didn't expect that the neighbor would immediately think of that matter.

"Why are you so angry?" The neighbor curled his lips. "I'm just worried about your Zheng Xian's health after seeing her become like this."

Aunt Zheng turned her head to look at her daughter and saw that she was sitting on the threshold of the main room, leaning against the door frame. Although she was looking at this side, she did not move or speak. She looked lifeless and as if she was extremely tired. Her heart sank.

In the past, if the neighbors had made such blind assumptions about her, she would have jumped up and hit them with a broom.

Otherwise, you should say a few words to me.

Now she didn't react at all.

The neighbors also looked at Zheng Xian. It was clearly not right.

But seeing the Zheng family's expressions, she didn't dare to say anything to their faces. She muttered and told them, "Someone came to your house a few days ago. He was a smart boy who looked like he came from a wealthy family. He asked where you had been."

Zheng Asi was stunned.

"But who is it?"

"No. Just said I'll come back in a while."

The neighbors found it a little strange that such a person would come to visit the Zheng family.

She looked at Zheng Xian again and felt that something was really wrong.

"By the way, do you know about the Qingfu Marquis Mansion?"

The Zheng family has been gone for quite some time, so they certainly don’t know about the major events in the capital.

After hearing the name Qing Fuhou, Zheng Xian finally reacted.

She asked in a hoarse voice, "What happened to them?"

"Oh, that's a really big deal. Let me tell you..." The neighbor told everything that happened in Qingfuhou Mansion.

Yin Yunting didn't know yet that the Zheng family had returned.

He asked Mo Qi to visit Zheng's house from time to time, but Mo Qi didn't come today.

Now Yin Yunting and Lu Zhaoling were also looking at the nails.

When Prince Jin came over, he saw the three of them sitting on one side, with their elbows on the table, their cheeks in their hands, looking at something in the middle of the table.

The three people's movements and postures are exactly the same.

What are you looking at so intently?

Is it some kind of treasure?

"My Lord, you are here too?"

The voice of the auxiliary doctor came from behind. Zhou Shiyue turned around and saw Fu Cheng coming over with the auxiliary doctor carrying a medicine box.

His eyes swept across Fu Cheng's face.

Fu Cheng looked at him first, not at Lu Xiaoyi's face. Well, he was smart.

"Why is the assistant doctor here?"

Zhou Shiyue frowned, "Is my little Lingzi feeling unwell?"

Otherwise, why did the assistant doctor come to Huaiyuan so early in the morning and bring a medicine box with him?

"Your Majesty, don't talk nonsense, Miss Lu is in very good health!"

The assistant doctor glared at Zhou Shiyue.

Zhou Shiyue raised his eyebrows. This old man actually dared to glare at him?

The assistant doctor snorted. If he just said Miss Lu was not feeling well, who else could he be glaring at?

"Don't act more nervous about Xiao Lingzi than I am." Zhou Shiyue also snorted.

Fu Cheng saluted the King of Jin, and then looked towards Lu Zhaoling. He was a little curious, "Miss Lu, what are they looking at?"

"I guess he got some treasure."

Zhou Shiyue said as he walked over, leaned forward from behind Lu Zhaoling and looked at the things on the table.

"What treasure are you looking at so intently?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw something and almost bit his tongue.

A few black nails?

and--

“It stinks!”

A few black, smelly nails?

This is what their senior brothers and sisters were so engrossed in watching? !

"What kind of weird quirks do your sect have?"

Zhou Shiyue found it a little hard to accept.

Besides, don’t they think it stinks?

"How can it not stink if it's pulled out from a dead person's bones?" Lu Zhaoling then sat up straight and spoke in a low voice.

These words stunned Fu Daifu and Fu Cheng.

No, the thing that the three of them were just looking at was pulled out from a dead person's bones?

They had the same idea as King Jin. What kind of weird quirk did this sect member have?

"Ahem, is this an unusual nail?" asked the assistant doctor.

There is always a reason for what Miss Lu does.

It’s just that they are ordinary people and don’t understand.

"It is indeed unusual, a bone nail," Lu Zhaoling said. "It is a nail driven into the bone, but it is also made of bone."

They stared at the nails because they felt they had seen them before.
