Jun'er's father's eyes became fierce.

He didn't want to die. If one of him and Zhang Xiuhua had to die, he would definitely choose Zhang Xiuhua to die.

The other side.

Jing Huaian handed all the banknotes to Yuchi Xi, "This is the reward from his father."

Yuchi Xi took it and said, "Hehe, Brother Jing doesn't want it? It would be a waste to throw it away, so I'll accept it reluctantly!"

Jing Huaian: ...I know you want it very much, Your Highness the Little Princess.

His face was full of doting. "Well, Your Highness, I'll have to trouble you to accept these banknotes."

Jun'er on the side:?

ah?

Is it so hard for you to accept a banknote?!

If I were still alive, I would have accepted it immediately!

"But why do you want me to do this? Also, he just called you Little Princess... Which country's Little Princess are you?"

"Aren't you a Taoist priest?"

His mind was completely confused.

Could it be that this Taoist priest really likes to be called Her Royal Highness the Little Princess?

"I am the little princess of Yuan Kingdom." Yuchi Xi blinked innocently, "Taoist priest is also my identity!"

"Is it not possible for a little princess to learn Taoism?"

"Of course, I can..." Jun'er looked at her, his face full of 'no wonder she's the little princess' expression, "but you're still so young, do you know so much?"

So, is this how the royal family raises the little princess and the prince?

Yuchi Xi nodded, "Yes! I can!"

"Well, I have another question." Jun'er asked her, "What is your purpose in doing this?"

"Do you want them to kill each other?"

"I think my father couldn't bear to see her die."

He has seen how good his father has been to his stepmother over the years.

He felt that his father would not hurt his stepmother for anything.

Yuchi Xi smiled gently, "Just watch."

"He doesn't even take his own flesh and blood seriously, so how could he take a mere wife seriously?"

Jun'er suddenly felt that what she said made sense...

Does a man like him really care about his wife's life or death?

Yuchi Xi, "Just wait and see his good show."

"It's almost time to go on stage."

Zhang Xiuhua came back from a walk and had dinner with Jun'er's father. Jun'er's father talked about Jun'er's situation, "If it's Jun'er's case, one of us must die. Tell me, who will die, me or you?"

Zhang Xiuhua was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect him to bring up this matter. "Master, what are you talking about?"

"Hasn't the Taoist priest already taken care of it for you?"

"You won't dream about Jun'er now, right?"

"Could it be that the Taoist priest is fake? Don't worry, there are so many Taoist priests, there must be some who are genuine. If there is none, we can go find Master Wuchen!"

"I will definitely stay by your side and help you."

Jun'er's father asked her, "I'm asking you, if one of us must die, who will die?"

Zhang Xiuhua lowered her eyes, "If that's the case, I'm willing to die."

"I don't want you to die, Master."

"If you die, I will follow you!"

"You must live well and take good care of our son."

Zhang Xiuhua looked at him aggrievedly, "Does the Taoist priest need a sacrifice? If so, let me go!"

She didn't believe that such a thing would require human sacrifice. She was afraid that the master was testing her sincerity. At this time, it would be better to say something nice.

"You want to die? Are you serious?"

Jun'er's father narrowed his eyes.

Zhang Xiuhua nodded, "Yes, for the master, I am willing to go through fire and water."

"Well, then go and die."

Jun'er's father nodded and said, "I will always remember your kindness. I will also tell my son that you sacrificed a lot for us."

"You're a very good mother."

Zhang Xiuhua: ???

Who wants you to remember my kindness forever?

Who wants to sacrifice himself?

You see, I want this little bit of verbal communication, okay?

Zhang Xiuhua was stunned. "What? What do you mean?"

Jun'er's father, "Why, aren't you willing to die for me?"

Zhang Xiuhua: ...I was just saying that. Who would really agree to that?

I can live well, but I say I want to die!

"The Taoist priest said that one of us must die. Why do you regret it and still want me to die?"

Zhang Xiuhua: ...

Of course, I don't want to die.

"Master, that Taoist priest must have come here on purpose to sow discord between us. How could that be possible?"

"He clearly has the ability to help you, so why did he let one of us die? I think he did it on purpose!"

"Why don't we ask another Taoist priest?"

She doesn't want to die!

Jun'er's father said, "Didn't you just say that this Taoist priest is powerful? You also saw that his talisman paper is really useful to me."

"So, what he said is true."

Zhang Xiuhua: ...

"But……"

Jun'er's father, "If you don't want to do this for me, then forget it!"

Zhang Xiuhua was silent for a while. She looked at Jun'er's father and suddenly understood that she would die today, whether she lived or not. Since she was going to die anyway, she naturally had to gain the greatest benefit for her son.

"I do."

Zhang Xiuhua looked at him lovingly, "Master, I am willing."

"It's just that I'm worried about Chun'er. Master, promise me that you will take good care of Chun'er!"

"I must make sure Chun'er passes the imperial examination and gets a good academic score!"

"As for my death, tell him it was a sudden and severe illness!"
