Half an hour later, Xia Yuehua's soul grew weaker and weaker, as if it were about to dissipate. Zhou Jun looked at Ning Bao nervously.

"Little sister, come quickly and see what's wrong with my mother?"

Ning Bao looked helplessly at Zhou Jun and his mother.

"She only has one soul left now, and it will automatically dissipate when the time comes."

"Speak quickly if you have something to say."

We've been talking for half an hour now, and we've said almost everything we needed to say.

Xia Yuehua looked at her son intently for a while, and then sincerely thanked Ning Bao.

Watching his mother's soul drift away in the wind, Zhou Jun's eyes were filled with reluctance.

He wiped away his tears, calmed himself down, and looked at Ning Bao.

"Little sister, you said my mother is in hell. Is there any way to help her reduce her sins?"

I know my mother is guilty, but no matter what, she is still my mother, and she was a kind person when she was alive.

She has never intentionally harmed anyone. I want her to suffer less, or perhaps be reincarnated.

My mother had a very hard life in her past life; in her next life, I hope she can live an ordinary, peaceful, and happy life.

Ning Bao pondered for a moment and then sighed softly.

"well!

Your mother could have been reborn into a better life. If she had been reborn peacefully in her next life, she would have lived a long and comfortable life.

Unfortunately, she didn't...

It's not impossible for you to reduce her sentence now.

By the way, I see you have the potential to become an official, are you an official now?

Zhou Jun nodded.

"I guess so. I did quite well in the imperial examination this spring, and I could have entered the Hanlin Academy."

Because of my stepmother's suppression at home, I chose to be sent abroad directly.

Originally, I was to take up a post in another county under Yunlu City, but a few days ago, just after I arrived at my post, Prefect Gu of Yunlu City informed me that I should come to Qinglin County to take up my post.

As for the matter of changing his post, he has already submitted a memorial to the capital.

Qinglin County?

Ning Bao paused for a moment, realizing that Zhou Jun was cleaning up Xia Ying's mess.

Ning Bao carefully explained the method to reduce Xia Yuehua's sentence. Zhou Jun listened very attentively and said that he would definitely follow it carefully and try to get his mother out of hell as soon as possible.

The moment Xia Yuehua's soul returned to hell, she received the memories of her soul.

She never imagined that her son was actually still alive, and had even become a county magistrate.

Even though she had just rolled over a bed of nails, she didn't feel any pain; she even had a smile on her face when she was thrown into a vat of boiling oil...

After finishing her business, Ningbao checked the time and realized it was getting late, so she immediately stood up and prepared to go home.

Zhou Jun glanced at the sky outside.

"It's already evening. It'll be dark soon, and it's too dangerous for a little kid like you to go home alone."

Ningbao pointed at Lingling.

"It's not dangerous, I have Lingling."

Zhou Jun was stunned for a moment. What could a cat do?

"How about this, I'll take you back."

Ning Bao and Zhou Jun were locked in a stalemate for a long time, but unfortunately Zhou Jun was very persistent and refused to let Ning Bao leave.

Ning Bao had no choice but to compromise and agree to let Zhou Jun personally take her home.

Knowing that Ning Bao was in a hurry to go home, Zhou Jun did not delay and immediately ordered the yamen runners to prepare a carriage.

Before long, a horse-drawn carriage left the town and headed towards Qingyun Town.

Izumo Village.

As darkness approached and his young apprentice still hadn't returned, he glanced towards the spot where the magpies had landed that morning…

What's going on?

Are magpies no longer effective?

That shouldn't be the case.

"Master Sanqing, come and eat!"

While lost in thought, Master Sanqing heard Shen Yuzhen call for dinner and immediately rushed inside.

Bai Ming happened to be at the Mu family's house today, and while they were eating, Mu Dasheng started chatting with him.

"Bai Ming, when can I get this thing off my leg?"
