Chapter 170 This idiot, he's obviously not...
Lu Xun was brought by Yun Zhao, and Yun Zhao was also pestering Wei Jingchen.
Before this, even Lin Shujing didn't know that Yun Zhao knew Wei Jingchen!
Could it be that the person who was reborn is actually Yun Zhao?
Could it be that Yun Zhao already knows that the massacre back then was all fabricated by him?
Ling Xuerou was truly panicked now.
If Yun Zhao is a reincarnated person, why did he choose to return to the Prince of Jin's mansion in the first place?
Would she really be so foolish as to choose to return to the manor knowing she would definitely be exiled?
Ling Xuerou was uneasy and naturally didn't notice that Yun Zhao had been observing her the whole time.
Xu Qingyi looked at her daughter, who seemed to be in a daze, and touched her cheek: "Zhaozhao, what's wrong?"
"Mother, so Xue'er and Old Madam Xu are so close? No wonder the Old Madam doesn't like Zhaozhao~"
Yun Zhao lowered his head sadly.
Xu Qingyi hadn't originally intended to meddle in other people's affairs, but upon hearing Yun Zhao's words, she subconsciously looked over.
Although she was a princess, she always took care of her children personally.
Five years of living and working together, even if they are not biological mother and daughter.
She also knew very well that Ling Xuerou was not a child who repaid evil with kindness.
While Old Madam Xu did not mistreat Ling Xuerou, she was by no means kind either.
Ling Xuerou went to deliver the meat soup, probably because the Marquis of Dingyuan wanted to benefit from it and wanted to get something from Old Madam Xu.
"Zhao Zhao, don't be sad. It's absolutely not your fault that she treated you badly. Your mother, Zhao Zhao, is the most obedient child in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty!"
Feeling uneasy, Xu Qingyi hugged her daughter and whispered words of comfort.
When they set off again, Madam Xu and her daughter were already with the Ling family's group.
The Ling family doesn't tolerate idlers; they're unlikely to be so merciful as to bring Old Madam Xu along.
Wei Jingchen clearly thought the same thing.
Xu Yifei carried Yun Zhao the whole way, and Wei Jingchen strolled over to his side.
"Zhaozhao, shall we go with Brother Jingchen to take a look ahead?"
Yun Zhao blinked and immediately stretched out her hands towards him: "Okay!"
Xu Yifei was happy to see that the two children got along well.
He only instructed her, "Go, and be careful!"
After the two had walked away, Wei Jingchen spoke up, "Does the Ling family have a grudge against your family?"
As expected of Wei Jingchen, so alert!
Yun Zhao whispered mysteriously in his ear, "Xue'er used to be disobedient in the Prince of Jin's mansion, and her mother and father were a bit strict with her."
When she returned to the Marquis of Dingyuan's residence, she lied to me, saying that her father and mother constantly beat and scolded her.
She said her mother often tormented her in the backyard, and her uncles also frequently bullied her!
Later, the Marquis's wife couldn't bear to part with me and asked me to return to the Prince of Jin's residence later. So Xue'er jumped into the pond by herself.
They said I pushed her down, that they were framing me, and when I denied it, they beat me.
I was punished by having to kneel in the ancestral hall all night! So my mother and uncles were very angry.
The Marquis and his wife felt that the Prince of Jin's mansion had mistreated Xue'er, so they also deeply resented our family!
Wei Jingchen frowned immediately: "He hit you?"
"Ugh! Zhao Zhao's arm was all swollen from the beating! But she's fine now~"
Hehe, with my eldest uncle around, even the Marquis of Dingyuan can't beat him, so he can't bully me!
Yun Zhao shook his arm and laughed carefree.
Seeing Wei Jingchen's furrowed brows, Yun Zhao said coquettishly, "Besides, Brother Jingchen is so amazing..."
He grabbed Zhao Zhao and flew away in a flash! Marquis Dingyuan can't fly, he definitely can't outrun Brother Jingchen! Right?
Looking into her bright eyes, Wei Jingchen extended his index finger and affectionately tapped her forehead.
"Yes, yes, Brother Jingchen's lightness skill is amazing, he definitely can't catch me!"
He then added, "However, my father said that the Marquis of Dingyuan is narrow-minded. If he truly believes that the Prince of Jin's mansion mistreated his own daughter..."
They specifically invited Madam Xu over this time, probably hoping to make trouble for them. We need to be careful.
"Okay! Zhao Zhao understands!"
Yun Zhao nodded heavily.
Xu Qingshi watched the two of them, then followed Ling Xuerou, deliberately trying to sow discord.
"Xue'er, look! That little slut Yun Zhao is bothering Young Master Wei again!"
Ling Xuerou was tired from walking, and she couldn't help but frown as she massaged her legs.
"Do they often carry Yun Zhao like this?"
"Yes, she never walked this road by herself. She was either riding a tiger or being carried by the Xu brothers in turns."
Later, the Wei family became almost inseparable from them; the Wei family's young master would occasionally take her along, and they always ate together.
Xu Qingshi kept observing Ling Xuerou's expression and realized that she seemed to be targeting Yun Zhao, so she became much more polite to Wei Jingchen in her words.
Ling Xuerou listened to her words and began to have some guesses.
At first, she thought Yun Zhao was reborn, but looking at Yun Zhao's actions, she was nothing like the well-behaved and talented woman from the capital.
Wei Jingchen, on the other hand, seems even less like a reborn person.
If Wei Jingchen had been reborn, he would definitely know about the Fifth Prince, and Xu Yiyan wouldn't have been injured at the Yuan residence.
Are neither of them reborn?
With that in mind, Ling Xuerou decided to test them.
Yun Zhao leaned on Wei Jingchen's shoulder, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw Ling Xuerou walking towards them.
"Brother Jingchen, this herb looks like a hemostatic herb. Let's pick it and use it on Uncle's wound!"
Wei Jingchen didn't recognize the herbs, so he nodded when she said that.
"Okay, shall we dig up the roots?"
"No need, put me down, I'll take care of it!"
Yun Zhao patted his chest, looking confident.
Just as Wei Jingchen put her down, Ling Xuerou happened to walk to their side.
She peeked out and recognized the grass; it was a wild grass that looked very much like a hemostatic herb.
Although this wild grass is not poisonous, it can cause itching and delay healing in people with actual wounds.
Yun Zhao is hailed as the number one goddess physician of the Great Zhou Dynasty, so how could she not even be able to distinguish such a simple herb?
Ling Xuerou feigned curiosity and asked, "Zhaozhao, why can this stop the bleeding?"
"This looks exactly like the hemostatic herb in the book!"
As Yun Zhao spoke, he bent over and started digging for grass.
Watching her actions and her completely inexperienced way of digging grass, Ling Xuerou unconsciously narrowed her eyes.
Unaware of anything amiss, Yun Zhao dug up the herbs and then happily ran to the donkey cart.
"Third Uncle, I've found the hemostatic herb! I'm here to change your dressing!"
She took out her water bag, washed the herbs, and crushed them in a medicine bowl.
Yun Zhao pounded away, his little bottom wiggling back and forth.
While the view was obstructed, all the weeds were replaced with real hemostatic herbs from the space.
Using the light as an excuse, she pulled back the carriage curtain to change the medicine on Xu Yiyan's foot.
Ling Xuerou watched as she applied the green juice to Xu Yiyan's calves before turning her gaze away.
This idiot, he's obviously not a reincarnated person.
The remaining person is Wei Jingchen, who is standing right in front of us.
She followed Wei Jingchen without saying a word, simply keeping her head down and following along.
After walking a few steps, Wei Jingchen turned back to look at her with some suspicion.
What are you doing?
Ling Xuerou's heart skipped a beat, and she gripped the hem of her dress tightly with her hand hidden in her sleeve.
Silently repeating "He is only twelve years old," she suppressed her fear of Wei Junyan.
"It's nothing, I just feel that Brother Jingchen looks a lot like someone I know!"
She tilted her head back, looking on with curiosity.
