In the original setting, Yun Ruoxi frequently causes trouble for Su Lingling because she is jealous of her being favored by the prince.
But now, Yun Ruoxi has received the original owner's memories, but there is no trace of the prince in her mind, let alone any feelings between men and women.
At the moment, her understanding of Su Lingling was limited to hearing that Prime Minister Su's family had recognized his concubine's daughter as their ancestral home and even included her in the family tree.
Neither the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion nor the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion had ever provoked Su Lingling, so why did she want to kill them all?
Yun Ruoxi thought about this and decided to tell the truth. She didn't want her family to be implicated because of her and end up losing more than they gained.
So, with a serious expression, she spoke to her grandparents, "Grandfather, Grandmother, Xixi knows deep down that you love me and can't bear to see me suffer. But this time, the disaster that befell the Wu'an Marquisate was actually orchestrated by the Crown Prince and Prime Minister Su's newly adopted concubine, Su Lingling. The Wu'an Marquisate is a family of loyal and brave men, generations of military commanders. Now is a crucial time for the Nine Dragons to fight for the throne, and the issue of who to stand on is extremely sensitive. The Wu'an Marquisate and our Yingguo Mansion have always been royalists and have never participated in the struggle for the throne. Although we have no intention of forming a clique for personal gain, there's no guarantee that the Emperor won't become suspicious."
When these words were spoken, everyone present was stunned.
In their eyes, when did Xixi, who had been brought up in pampered conditions since childhood, have such a thorough understanding of the situation in the capital and be able to analyze it so clearly.
Grandfather glanced around and raised his hand to signal everyone to leave. In the end, only grandfather, grandmother and Yun Ruoxi were left in the hall.
Even Yun Ruoxi's parents were "ruthlessly" driven out and not allowed to eavesdrop.
Grandfather stared at Yun Ruoxi with a look of concern and caution, and asked softly, "Xixi, tell me, how did you know all this?"
Yun Ruoxi thought to herself that in order to solve the problem once and for all and avoid having to explain it repeatedly in the future, she decided to tell the truth.
"I had a dream. In it, I saw a book that recorded the legendary life of a girl named Su Lingling. Our Yingguo Mansion and Wu'an Mansion were both villains in the book. Most of the people from Wu'an Mansion died during the exile. The Yingguo Mansion offered the Iron Blood and Dan Book to save Wu'an Mansion, but it only saved Wu'an Mansion from being reduced to pariah status."
When my grandparents heard this, they were shocked and obviously couldn't believe what I said.
"How could this be? Could someone have made it up?" Grandma couldn't help but interrupt.
Yun Ruoxi shook her head slightly and continued, "Xixi understands. This is truly hard to believe. But in my dream, I also worshipped a master."
Grandmother anxiously asked, "What master?"
Yun Ruoxi cleared her throat and began to speak: "The master was dressed in white, with a long flowing beard. He claimed to be a wandering immortal. He said that we had a destiny, so he accepted me as his disciple."
At this point, Yun Ruoxi seemed to suddenly remember something. She slapped her forehead and said excitedly, "Oh, right! Master also gave me a magic weapon that can hold a lot of things."
After saying that, she didn't care about her grandparents' reactions. She raised her hand and waved it gently. In the blink of an eye, all the tables and chairs in the main hall disappeared and were stored in the space.
Then, in the astonished eyes of her grandparents, she took the things out again as they were.
"Grandfather, Grandmother, I think you should believe me now. Master also gave me a lot of elixirs, all good for nourishing the body. Xixi kept them all to honor you."
As soon as she finished speaking, a jade bottle appeared out of thin air in her palm, containing ten drops of spiritual spring water.
This was something she had secretly prepared using her spiritual sense in space on her way back home, and she took it out only now.
"This is the elixir my master gave me. One drop can expel toxins from the body and nourish it. No matter what kind of hidden illness you have, it can be cured instantly."
After hearing this, a hint of excitement flashed in the grandfather's eyes.
Seeing this, Yun Ruoxi quickly added, "There are ten drops in this bottle, which Xixi specially left for you. Master said that the immortal dew is extremely precious, and even those who practice immortality rarely obtain it."
After hearing Yun Ruoxi say this, her grandparents believed her a little more.
Yun Ruoxi kindly reminded: "Grandpa and Grandma, when drinking, only need one drop at a time. Don't drink more, otherwise the body can't bear it. Also, after taking the fairy dew, the body will excrete impurities, and the smell is not good, so you have to choose the right time to take it."
Grandfather recalled what had just happened and asked curiously, "Do you know why the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion was confiscated?"
Yun Ruoxi's expression froze as she said sternly, "They were falsely accused of embezzling disaster relief funds. But I searched the Wu'an Marquis's mansion and didn't find any of these valuables. However, I did find three million taels of government silver in Su Lingling's courtyard."
"What? Are you serious?" When my grandfather heard this, his face instantly turned gloomy and he stood up excitedly.
"If this crime is proven, even a great immortal would be unable to save the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion!"
Grandmother's face was filled with sorrow as she murmured to herself, "No wonder even the Iron Blood and Red Book couldn't save the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion. So this is what's going on."
Grandfather was extremely anxious. He paced back and forth in the room, muttering, "No, now that we know we've been framed, we must make plans as soon as possible. We can't let the Wu'an Marquisate repeat the same mistake."
Yun Ruoxi knew her grandfather's intentions and hurriedly tried to stop him, "Grandfather, even if we save the Wu'an Marquisate, it won't help. In half a year, the entire Daye Dynasty will suffer a severe drought, and the capital will not be spared."
"What?" My grandparents were instantly panicked, their eyes widened in disbelief.
Seeing this, Yun Ruoxi continued, "So, Xixi has thought for a long time. Since they want to accuse us of a crime, I might as well take advantage of it and confirm the charges. I will plunder all the mansions that have offended us, stockpile food early, and stay away from the capital when the time comes. It's important to save our lives."
My grandfather was thoughtful and thought long-term: "How long will the drought last?"
