She didn't want that.

Mi Li was a woman with a strong sense of independence and character. Seeing the fetus in her belly growing bigger day by day and her belly becoming bulging, she mixed oleander into rice balls and drank them, which almost cost her her life.

After listening to what Mi Li's grandmother said, Jian Ning sighed secretly.

Every poisonous snake in the world bites, and she had also heard about the eldest prince's tyranny in Xing'an County. After all, it was a border town, and there were many peddlers and hawkers from the Yue Kingdom in Xing'an County, so news about the Yue Kingdom nobles naturally spread there.

The people should not fight against the officials, and this is the same everywhere. Jian Ning glanced at Huo Jincheng. He was stunned for a moment, but then he understood. He took out half a piece of silver from his sleeve and placed it on the small bamboo table. "Old man, please use this to buy some nourishing supplements for your granddaughter so that she can take good care of herself. Thank you for your hospitality. Just consider it as meal money."

Silver is a currency used in both countries. Mili A'nai waved her hand and pushed the silver in front of him. "No, no, your wife saved my granddaughter's life. How can I accept your food money? Take it back quickly."

Huo Jincheng didn't wait for Jian Ning to speak and changed the subject. "Old man, I heard you mention the Holy Lady earlier. Is the Holy Lady a deity in your area? Do you know a woman named Hua Rou?"

When Mi Li's grandmother heard him mention Hua Rou, her face changed. She quickly stood up and rushed to the door, then knelt down again. She clasped her hands together and bowed to the bamboo forest outside the house, then stood up and walked back to sit at the table.

She stared at Huo Jincheng, then looked at Jian Ning, "How do you know Hua Gu's name?"

"Hua Gu?" Jian Ning and Huo Jincheng exchanged a glance. "We only know her as the Saintess. Are you referring to her when you say the Saintess?"

Mi Li's grandmother shook her head. "Hua Gu was the Saint Lady appointed by the Saint Lady. Later, the Imperial Master stopped everyone from believing in the Saint Lady. Now everyone only believes in the Moon God. Anyone who believed in the Saint Lady was driven away, and the holy land was destroyed. That's why Hua Gu and her people fled to your Central Plains."

"Alas, I heard that the Emperor of your Central Plains also does not tolerate the Saint's clan. How is Hua Gu now?"
