"I will go and search right away."
Mr. Chen slapped his forehead, as if he rembered sothing, and hurried back to the room. He pulled out a family genealogy from the bottom of a cabinet, covered in dust.
After flipping through several pages, Mr. Chen finally found the family at the back of the genealogy, "It’s Chenzhou, Yuanhe County, right?"
Upon hearing the familiar place na, Miss Liuzhu excitedly floated over, "Yes, my hotown is Yuanhe County!"
Mr. Chen said excitedly, "That’s right, this Chen family indeed has ties with our Chen family’s ancestors. They are a distant branch, long out of contact. According to the genealogy, this branch of the Chen family died out over eighty years ago."
Yu Nianzhao said calmly, "He wants to restore his soul, and he must attach himself to soone with Chen family blood. That’s why he chose Chen Muhai for Miss Liuzhu, and even without her, he would have manipulated soone else to find a substitute."
Mr. Chen sighed long and deeply, "I see, it’s all a matter of karma."
"I see now..."
Mr. Chen and Ms. Chen had an epiphany, and their resentnt toward Miss Liuzhu lessened.
"This urn of ashes was dug out from the Chen family’s cetery," Chen Muhai said quietly.
Mr. Chen nodded slightly, "Our ancestors believed in returning to their roots and worried about the long and changing journey, so they cremated the bodies and brought the urns back to be buried in the Chen family cetery. Even I didn’t know that our Chen ancestors had such a murderer in the family. Truly a sin."
Yu Nianzhao said, "Since it’s a matter of distant relatives, Mr. Chen, don’t dwell on it. In your lifeti, you’ve been a benevolent physician, already accumulating virtue for the Chen family."
Hearing Yu Nianzhao’s comforting words, Mr. Chen was filled with admiration for her, "Zhaozhao, your words truly bring joy. If the Prince hadn’t gotten to you first, I’d truly want you to marry into our Chen family. Although Muhai is not yet accomplished, he is still sincere and kind."
Mr. Chen genuinely admired Yu Nianzhao, eager to have her as part of the family.
Chen Muhai, being ntioned, looked bewildered, showing an embarrassed expression on his handso face, and said helplessly, "Grandfather, don’t say such things."
"Ah, you, just don’t have this luck."
Mr. Chen shook his head in disappointnt, stroking his beard and smiling, "Zhaozhao, I heard you’re setting up a Yan Wang Temple in the suburbs?"
"Yes, I plan to build more."
Her ideal is to have Yan Wang Temples everywhere.
"That’s great, then I will donate incense money. Please do the favor of helping those murdered souls find peace, and that will also accumulate virtue for the Chen family," Mr. Chen said.
"Yes, what my father said is correct, we need to accumulate virtue and do good deeds."
Ms. Chen agreed, "Miss Yu, do you plan to build more Yan Wang Temples? As far as I know, there are several wastelands near Shangjing, all pri locations, and the surroundings of Liaocheng close to Shangjing also have suitable places. I can donate silver and join you in repairing the temples; I only ask that you cleanse my son of this evil aura."
No matter what, Chen Muhai was possessed, and by such a sinister spirit, he truly needs a thorough ’cleansing.’
Mr. Chen said heartily, "For such matters, you can certainly count on us. I’ve served as an official for many years and have so connections."
"Oh dear! Are you all this enthusiastic? Then I humbly accept."
Yu Nianzhao couldn’t help but smile, revealing her joy for the wealth.
"Indeed! If it weren’t for you, the Chen family would have suffered greatly."
Mr. Chen smiled benevolently, "Even among close brothers, accounts should be clear. Moreover, this is sothing we should do."
"Miss Yu, is Miss Liuzhu about to reincarnate now?"
Chen Muhai, with a gentle face, scratched his head embarrassedly, sneaking over to ask her.
"No, that’s not possible." Yu Nianzhao shook her finger slightly, "Her soul is incomplete and needs to be repaired before entering reincarnation."
"How can it be repaired?"
"It depends on whether your Chen family is willing to offer incense and accumulate virtue for her."
"Of course we are willing."
Chen Muhai agreed without hesitation, then looked at Mr. Chen and Ms. Chen, pleading, "Father, Mother, Miss Liuzhu really didn’t an to let that ghost possess . Please..."
Ms. Chen sighed lightly, "We understand. According to the genealogy, Miss Liuzhu was hard by the distant Chen family branch. Since our Chen family wants to accumulate virtue and do good deeds, Miss Liuzhu is naturally included."
"That’s right."
Mr. Chen nodded in agreent.
"That’s wonderful!"
Chen Muhai breathed a sigh of relief, his face beaming with a radiant smile, "Miss Liuzhu, our promise can still be fulfilled."
Miss Liuzhu tearfully said, "Yes, it’s truly wonderful."
With their silver in place, Yu Nianzhao gifted them several talismans and reminded, "Chen Muhai needs to burn incense and recite sutras at the Yan Wang Temple daily over the next few days to cleanse the evil spirit he has been contaminated with."
"Yes, I will go."
"Thank you, Miss Yu, this is truly a lifesaving grace."
"Zhaozhao, you should visit Chen Mansion often; the chef here is really good at cooking."
The Chen family warmly bid her farewell, and Yu Nianzhao waved to them as she led Miss Liuzhu’s soul away.
"Princess, the Chen family is a family of imperial physicians; their wealth is quite abundant."
Zhixi had been waiting outside, and now carrying a box of silver back, her mood was very cheerful.
"Do you know everything?"
"Of course, I used to serve in the palace, and heard quite a bit of gossip from the harem."
"How about the Prince’s gossip?"
"Uh... The Prince doesn’t even have a female mosquito around him, where would the gossip co from? Princess, this truly stumps your servant."
Zhixi pouted, racking her brains but unable to think of any rumours about Xie Jiuxiao.
"It seems Xie Jiuxiao’s first embrace might just be mine."
Feeling a mont of haziness, Yu Nianzhao suddenly felt like she had scooped up a pure, innocent handso man.
Even though the emotional ties were not present, the feeling was still quite thrilling!
"Waaaa... Call Yu Nianzhao out to see us. Is she hiding, unwilling to see us? Her father is in trouble, and she just ignores it?"
As soon as Yu Nianzhao and Zhixi returned to the Prince Su Mansion, they heard the sound of wailing and fussing at the gate. If it wasn’t for the constant presence of evil qi surrounding Prince Su Mansion, an ordinary person would take a detour; otherwise, this place would have been crowded with spectators.
Still, so fearless people stood far off, watching the commotion.
"The princess has gone out and is not in the mansion right now. This is Prince Su Mansion; you must not make clamor."
Yiu Renjian stood with hands on hips, blocking them with guards to prevent entry.
