Chapter Twenty-Six: The Truth About Jiang Sijin

Seeing Jiang Sijin pointing at him, Hensheng hurriedly asked, "So, are you my aunt or my sister?"

Su Zhenzhen was also curious about this gossip, so she pricked up her ears to listen.

Jiang Sijin tilted her head. "You should call me aunt."

Seeing that Jiang Sijin seemed to be in a normal state, Su Zhenzhen quickly tried to get information out of her, "Could you tell me your story?"

Jiang Sijin took a few steps forward. "If I told you, would you think I'm a monster?"

Um... Su Zhenzhen was a little embarrassed. Jiang Sijin's current appearance was almost like that of a monster.

"Let me guess, you and the real Jiang Sijin are twins, right?"

Jiang Sijin nodded, and then began to tell her story.

It turns out that the peasant girl secretly consulted the imperial physician who said she had two girls, but she desperately wanted a son. She somehow obtained a secret recipe that claimed eating the hair of a newborn boy would guarantee her a son.

After eating it for a long time, she began to show signs of miscarriage. The farm girl panicked and asked someone to get her a magic pill. She was told that if she drank it when she was in her final month of pregnancy, the two girls would turn into one boy.

When the pregnancy is in its later stages, the spirit of the fetus will follow the pregnant woman, waiting to be born with the child.

But the peasant girl's reckless actions resulted in only one baby girl being born. Neither of the two fetal spirits wanted to be reincarnated, so the two souls shared one body, and Jiang Sijin's growth was very slow.

It's easy for two souls to make mistakes when they share a body, so they agreed that one would use the body first and the other would use it later.

After Jiang Sijin passed away peacefully, her body became empty. Later, when Jiang Sijin awoke from her slumber, her soul had not experienced growth, and her body shrank along with her soul.

After hearing all this, Su Zhenzhen had a question: "How did you control those hairs?"

Jiang Sijin rolled her eyes, which made her look cute and lively on her small face.

"I can't control my body, I can only watch another soul eat and drink. Aren't I bored? I definitely need to find something to do. If it weren't for those damned baby hairs ruining my physical body, why would I need to share a body with someone else? So I'll use them to cultivate."

Su Zhenzhen didn't really understand cultivation, especially this kind of unorthodox cultivation method, so she didn't delve into how a fetal spirit actually cultivated.

"Can we make an agreement? Don't cause any trouble. I'll figure out what kind of compensation you want."

Jiang Sijin turned around and pointed to the corpses on the ground. "You mean those people? I didn't do anything wrong. They all deserve to die, including that person."

Jiang Sijin pointed her finger at Li Da.

Su Zhenzhen immediately distanced herself, "What did he do?"

Jiang Sijin took two more steps forward until she stood next to Su Zhenzhen.

"When the capital fell, no one wanted to make things difficult for Jiang Sijin. It was this damned eunuch who wanted to leave a bloodline for the last emperor and forcibly took Jiang Sijin away."

Li Da was filled with resentment. "What nonsense are you spouting? How could no one have made things difficult for the princess? Besides, what wrong have I done by preserving the last bloodline of the last emperor?"

Jiang Sijin tilted her head. "You're so loyal, and I'm also of the Jiang family bloodline, so why do you treat me like this?"

Li Da's face turned red, and he wanted to argue but didn't know what to say.

Jiang Sijin ignored him, arrogantly tossing her head. "The people I harmed were those who ate the Jiang family's rice and grain but stood idly by when the capital was besieged. Among them were deserters and ordinary people. Tell me, we are all human, so why did some people sacrifice their lives to resist the barbarians at the border, while others were protected by the Jiang family dynasty but stood by coldly when the emperor was on the verge of death?"

Su Zhenzhen had no way to answer this question. Even in the distant 906th century, many people who benefited from interstellar travel still betrayed their own people and did things that were detrimental to interstellar peace.

Tell me what you want?

Jiang Sijin pointed at Hensheng, "I want him to carry me. I want the treatment that Jiang Sijin enjoyed as a princess."

Without Su Zhenzhen's instructions, Hensheng picked up Jiang Sijin and carried her on his back, promising, "If I ever ascend to the throne, the princess's honor will only increase. If not, I will do my best to give you the best."

Seeing that the big problem was almost solved, Su Zhenzhen summoned the souls of the corpses.

Those who have no karmic burdens enter the cycle of reincarnation the moment their physical body dies.

There was no trace of Li Da's wife among the ghosts, which suggests that she had neither harmed nor been harmed, or perhaps the karma on her body had been evened out.

The others included those who had been tricked into coming to Shanxian County, and those who had been pushed out by their companions when the Thunderbolt Pill exploded.

These causal relationships are easy to understand. After Su Zhenzhen converted them and sent them into the cycle of reincarnation, the progress bar for their positive transformation became 10/100.

After a whole night of this, it's already dawn.

Su Zhenzhen was undecided whether to go south or north. "Hensheng, are you still going to the capital?"

In fact, by this point, the reasons for the downfall of the Jiang family dynasty were pretty clear: natural disasters and man-made calamities. Jiang Yichun was focused on saving the people and promoted people from humble backgrounds, which damaged the interests of the gentry and led to political turmoil. Several princes and generals with military power took the opportunity to cause chaos. The capital fell and the country sought help from all sides, but the people were ungrateful and only wanted to escape.

Kehan ​​Sheng still wanted to go to the capital to see what the capital was like now. "I want to know why my father was able to use half of the dynasty's resources to help the people in their time of need? Why did the people abandon him?"

Su Zhenzhen didn't understand, but she still respected it. "Alright, let's keep heading south. We should be able to encounter a lot of wronged souls along the way to boost my sales performance."

However, there is another problem before that.

"Why is Yamagata like this? It looks like no one has lived there for decades."

Jiang Sijin played with Hensheng's hair while sitting on his back. "This has nothing to do with me. I didn't create those green-eyed people who fell to the ground and turned to ashes. As for how they came to be, you'll have to find out for yourself."

After spending so little time together, Su Zhenzhen had already discovered that the new Jiang Sijin was a bit arrogant, and she didn't expect this little darling to be able to help her.

"Is there any place to stay in Nashan County? Can you tell me that?"

Jiang Sijin pointed in a direction, "There's an inn over there."

So Su Zhenzhen and the others went to the inn to rest first, as the unexpected events of the past few days were really overwhelming.

After arriving at the inn, Jiang Sijin still clung to Hensheng. Li Da seemed to have mentally prepared himself and mustered up the courage to come to Jiang Sijin's side.

"Why bring out those green-eyed people? Granny Li did nothing wrong. Why kill her?"

Granny Li is Li's eldest daughter-in-law. The two of them started living together after escaping from the capital.

Jiang Sijin tilted her head. "I already said I didn't create those green-eyed people. Don't eunuchs understand human speech? After all, I'm just a child. How many disgusting things have I seen? I just thought their appearance was alright, so I adopted it. As for Granny Li, she swindled a lot of money from my birth mother back then. I came into this world through her, so I should do something for her, right?"
