uring our trials, we found valuable herbs that the alchemist could process at any time. Our own potions also run out sometimes, and that's when the alchemist can use local ingredients to create suitab...Ripples and Wang Zhenzhen worked together to clear out Wang Kun's meridians. After confirming his condition was temporarily stable, they entrusted the task of explaining the current situation to the head of the family to Wang Yaohui. The two of them then spent as much time as possible with the Wu clan.

During this time, Wang Yaozhu specially came to look for Lianyi, wanting to try his best as her uncle to lower the escort fee. However, he was ruthlessly rejected by Lianyi.

"Nephew, didn't you forget When we first met, you said you were missing a maid to serve tea and water, and another servant"

Ripple raised an eyebrow and said.

Wang Yaozu immediately shut his mouth. Even though he didn't know their true identities at the time, he already regretted it.

"You said, if Uncle found out..."

"Spare me, noble heroine. Pretend I never came today."

Wang Yaizu cupped his hands in a gesture of respect, then turned and ran.

If his older brother found out that he was flirting with his niece and being disrespectful to his sister, he would probably be punished severely. It's best to keep a low profile right now.

Seeing Wang Ya zu run away, Lian Yi continued to drink tea and eat snacks. The pastry chef at the Wang family mansion was quite skilled.

"Ripples, you shouldn't tease your ancestors."

Aunt Zhen smiled and advised.

"He wants to cut into my earnings, and I won't let him get away with it. This is the second pot of silver I've earned since entering this world. It's supposed to go back to the Su Nu Palace; we need the money to keep everyone there fed and clothed."

Ripples smiled and said.

The Wang family was full of joy, but Qiqi, who received the invitation, was somewhat hesitant. He knew that going this time might lead him to the answers he desired, but he was also afraid.

Ultimately, Qiqi still brought two subordinates with her and went to the Wang family's appointment.

Qiqi was led into the Wang family's estate by their steward. It took a full two hours before they reached the guest hall. They didn't retrace any paths during the journey, which gave Qiqi a new appreciation for the Wang family's wealth.

When Wu saw Qiqi walk in, she looked him over from head to toe. She had to admit, this child was indeed Xu Fengze's son, a perfect copy of him. But his eyes were resolute, showing he was responsible and capable, much stronger than that scoundrel who killed her daughter.

"Please sit down, Sir Qi,"

After Wu finished reading, she spoke directly.

Thank you, madam!

Before coming, Qiqi also did her homework, so she could roughly match the number.

After Deng Qiqi had sat down, Mrs. Wu finally spoke:

"According to Zhenzhen and Lianyi, you two met halfway, and Qi Gongzi even helped them, so the old woman has decided to invite you to the mansion as a guest to thank you for your help."

"Old Madam, you are too kind! At first, Qi did indeed feel that he had helped the two young ladies. Later, I realized it was I who overstepped. Both of you are masters hidden in plain sight. It seems Qi has been showing off his skills before the master."

Qi Qi politely told the truth.

"That's all I said, and that's all you heard. It's just an excuse."

Because Princess Xiangyi caused her daughter's death, Wu shi had a bad impression of the royal family. So she didn't want to beat around the bush and ended the pleasantries with a single sentence, ready to get down to business.

Qi Qi was a little choked, then glanced at Lian Yi who was leisurely drinking tea and Zhen Fu who had a faint smile, she coughed lightly, and directly asked:

"I wonder what the old Madam wishes to see me for"

Two things, a private matter and a public matter, which would you like to handle first

Upon hearing Wu's question, Qiqi's heart skipped a beat. She lowered her eyes and when she looked up again, she replied directly:

"Let's talk about personal matters first!"

"Good!"

Mrs. Wu wasn't surprised that the child wanted to talk about personal matters first.

"Do you know your own background"

"I don't know!"

So, do you know who your enemy is

"I know, it's Princess Xiangyi."

"As you serve the emperor, how haven't you found an opportunity for revenge"

Upon hearing this, Qiqi was taken aback and subconsciously looked towards Lianyi and Wang Zhenzhen.

"Don't be surprised! Since you looked into our Wang family, we naturally had to look into your background. It's too frequent of a coincidence to just be chance."

Qi Qizi's two guards exchanged glances, their gazes shifting to Wu Shi, unsure of what she intended to do.

"Of course I want revenge, but because of my identity, I can't get close to her. Unless I become her male pet, but I don't want to be involved with that poisonous woman Xiangyi. Besides, everyone who knew about my past is dead, and now only she knows. I want to find out about my past before seeking revenge."

Qi Qi replied without any evasiveness.

"You've got some guts, and you're not stupid."

"You are the daughter of my second daughter. Your mother is named Wang Yingying, and your father is Xu Fengze. Lianyi is your elder sister. When you were born, your parents were killed by Xiangyi. She also led people to massacre Yingze Mountain Villa and then set it on fire."

Because you were in good health, you were taken away by Xiangyi's subordinates. Though your sister was protected by Yingying, she was still hurt in the heart. It was Zhenzhen who saved her and brought her back to Suren Palace to recuperate.

Wu paused, her eyes reddened slightly, before continuing:

"Your father, Xu Fengze, promised to protect my Yingying well, but he broke his word. He not only harmed himself, but also Yingying, and your two newborn children."

"Why is Old Madam so certain that I am Xu Fengze's child"

"You look exactly the same as he did when he was young. It's this face that drove Xiangyi, that venomous woman, to madness. Even though she married into a foreign country, she never stopped thinking about him. The first thing she did when she returned to Han was to seek revenge on your father."

Wang Zhenzhen sneered and said.

Qi Qī seemed to have realized something, touching his face and fully understanding why Princess Xiāngyí was so obsessed with him. Because through his face, she saw someone else.

Then he looked at Ripples, as if he could understand the special feeling he had when he first saw her.

"Little brother, this journey, big sister has done her best to help you. You don't have to be too touched."

Ripples said with a smile.

Qi Qisi's mind raced. From their first encounter, the appearance of Feng Qiwu and his son, to the extermination of bandits, the discovery of Meng Guo spies, and even the letters he received as evidence, including their encounter outside Huangsha City where the other party killed a group of martial artists but spared him, even inviting him to travel together, it all made sense.

"When you first met me, did you recognize me"

"I am about the same age as you. I've never met my father. Auntie Zhen recognized me and said that you might be my brother. So we decided to travel with you to see if our guess is right."

Ripple smiled and said.

"My service to the Emperor"

"Six years ago, did you know that Xiangyi was disfigured"

"I know, all her guards died at the Palace of Pure Women. It was because of that incident that everyone who knew my origins died."

Having finished speaking, Qiqi was stunned for a moment, her eyes fixed intensely on Lianyi.

"I did it! I didn't kill her, I just considered her princess status and didn't want Su Nü Palace to be implicated. But her injuries won't heal that easily." more careful when she's tracking down the source. She doesn't need to apply for a mission termination for now. She hasn't made a mistake since she started taking missions, except for that one time w...
