The uncle continued to smile nonchalantly, showing no embarrassment at being asked about his secret.
I don't know what you're talking about?
"How could you not know? You were clearly serving her at the time. How could you not know whether she had children or not?"
The middle-aged man shook his head firmly. "I don't know, and I don't know which 'she' you're talking about?"
The skeleton gritted its teeth, staring grimly at the old man. "Dead man, I mean no harm. I just want to know if she is... you know."
When he learned that rumors were circulating online that Lu Yulan was a descendant of a rebel general, his heart seemed to come alive.
The only descendant that crazy woman cared about was her younger sister.
"I'm asking you one last time, is Lu Yulan really the princess?"
The middle-aged man looked at the oppressive aura that was trying to approach and said, "So what if she is, so what if she isn't? Her name has disappeared from history, and no one will remember her. As for us, we just need to live well."
"Oh!"
"Live well."
The skeleton found it somewhat ridiculous that, at this point in time, he was actually talking about living well. What had been the point of all those years of nightmarish living?
If he could die, he would have died eighteen years ago; if he could die, he would have died when he saw those experimental subjects who were neither human nor ghost.
To put it in a sophisticated way, that's all in the past; he can't do that.
He stared at the other person coldly.
"I remember the royal family trained their stewards to be loyal to their masters. She's dead, why don't you die with her!"
"Because she won't let me die."
As she spoke, she looked at Lu Yulan with a hint of affection on her lips, "Actually, you look a lot like her, and your personality is similar too—gentle and kind."
The skeleton's relentless pressure forced the uncle to reveal the truth. In fact, the moment the skeleton arrived, the uncle knew that the secret could no longer be kept.
...
"Wait a minute, I'm not feeling well, you guys talk first."
This is quite a lot of information...
She was well aware that she was an orphan, so she didn't make too many demands on her parents.
Upon learning of this, Lu Yulan's first reaction was one of resistance.
She really didn't understand what they wanted to do. Did they want her to inherit the legacy of her predecessors and overthrow the empire?
Although the current empress seems to dislike him, the empire is not yet so corrupt as to be overthrown.
"Wait, Miss Lan, don't you want to know about your parents?"
The skeleton blocked Lu Yulan's path; he hadn't expected her to react this way.
"Although it may sound harsh to say this, I like the saying, 'If you don't raise them, how can they live?' So I'm not very interested in their stories. What I've experienced today is the result I've received as their child."
"you!"
"You can't say that, she's a very good person..."
The skeleton tried to explain that he didn't want Lu Yulan to misunderstand her; she was fine, really fine.
Even if he didn't know who Lu Yulan's father was, she was still a good girl.
“I don’t want to hear it. If you still want me to leave with you, then stop.”
As she spoke, she took Lu Yuanhong's hand and went upstairs, leaving the two groups of people downstairs to look at each other silently.
The skeleton bit its own flesh, feeling somewhat agitated by the situation. Looking at the calm uncle, it suddenly became furious.
"It's all your fault! This girl is nothing like her!"
The uncle chuckled softly.
"Just as stubborn as her, aren't you?"
Skeleton: ...
He gave a wry smile. "That's true."
