"However, I really miss being able to walk upright between heaven and earth like this." Yun Zhourong looked up at the sky and couldn't help but stretch her body with her arms outstretched.
Here, everything starts anew. Nobody recognizes her, which is actually a good thing for her. She no longer has to be told that she, as a noblewoman of the Earl's mansion, has big feet, and she no longer has to be ridiculed and mocked.
Here, she was just an ordinary person with ordinary big feet, and everything became comfortable.
"Yes, we've finally overcome all our hardships," the others couldn't help but exclaim.
"Things will definitely get better and better in the future."
Zhao held Yun Zhourong's hand and said firmly, "As long as our family is together, we have nothing to fear."
"Yes." Yun Zhourong nodded firmly.
"Actually, there's something I've always wanted to tell you."
At this moment, Lan Jianhe spoke up, "I found traces of Gu worms on the body of that deceased member of the Qin family."
"What?"
Upon hearing this, the group was taken aback.
Yun Zhourong was the first to react, "Master, do you mean that the Qin family set the fire because they were controlled by this Gu worm?"
"That's right. This kind of Gu worm is called the Bewitching Gu. The person who planted the Gu will obey the Gu master's every word. When the host dies, the Gu worm will also die and secrete a highly corrosive liquid that will quickly melt away the bones."
Lan Jianhe nodded solemnly, “To be honest, this Bewitching Heart Gu is a secret treasure of our clan that must never be revealed. The reason I was expelled was because I was wrongly accused of secretly selling the Bewitching Heart Gu.”
"So, Master, you mean that the traitor within your clan might know the person behind this plot to harm me?" Yun Zhourong quickly came to a conclusion.
"That's right, it's just a pity that I don't know who the traitor is."
Lan Jianhe nodded regretfully, then said with some worry, "That person dares to violate the clan rules and resell the Bewitching Gu. He will inevitably become a hidden danger to the entire clan in the future."
He was, after all, a highly respected shaman of the Jiuli tribe, and the entire tribe had invested tremendous effort in training him. This expulsion of him was only because they had been deceived by those with ulterior motives. He could not bear to watch his tribe be harmed.
"Master, please rest assured. Once we've settled down here, we'll ask the Snow Demon for help in finding a way to send you back to the Jiuli tribe to investigate the truth."
Yun Zhourong said seriously, "At that time, perhaps we will also know the truth about how my maternal grandfather was murdered back then."
If the person behind this really wanted to harm her because of her maternal grandfather, then following the clues might lead to the reason why her grandfather was convicted.
My grandfather was such a good man; he shouldn't have to suffer this injustice forever.
"Okay, thank you in advance, Master."
Yun Zhourong's thoughts were exactly what Lan Jianhe was thinking, and he was very pleased that he had not made a mistake in taking this disciple.
The group continued their journey, while in Leizhou, upon receiving news of the ship sinking at sea, the female official immediately spurred her horse back to the capital to report.
Now let's talk about Ji Minxiu.
Seeing him finally return, Assistant Lin breathed a deep sigh of relief. "Boss, you're finally back. I have something important to tell you."
"Hmm, what's the matter?" Ji Minxiu asked as the two walked outside.
"Look at this." Assistant Lin handed the phone to Ji Minxiu.
Upon seeing the contents, Ji Minxiu's pupils immediately contracted. "This jade hairpin..."
"Yes, this orchid hairpin is the one you carved yourself before. I have already bought it and it will be delivered soon."
Assistant Lin nodded and said, "So I guess that everything you have done in the Great Sheng Dynasty can affect the future world."
Ji Minxiu gently stroked the phone screen with his fingers. The orchid hairpin had been dated to be over a thousand years old and came from the Dasheng Dynasty.
It matches up; it's definitely the one he gave to Yun Zhourong.
With that thought in mind, he quickly went home.
Upon arriving at the study, he immediately turned on the computer and began researching the history of the Dasheng Dynasty.
Sure enough, history changed!
The Great Sheng Dynasty, which only lasted for ten years, was extended to fifteen years, but that was only five years longer.
The reason for the country's demise changed from the original uprising of rebels to overthrowing the dynasty, to the empress colluding with foreign enemies to attempt to usurp the throne, but was instead used by them, leading to the change of the dynasty.
He tried to find more information about the Snow Demon, but couldn't find a single thing about it in official history.
Later, I found some scattered fragments in unofficial historical records.
But not much was said, as if it had been deliberately erased.
After reading it, it was completely dark. Ji Minxiu sat alone in the dark study, without even turning on the lights.
The computer screen cast a shadow on his face, making his expression inscrutable.
"When I didn't intervene, the Dasheng Dynasty perished in a peasant uprising. After I intervened, it was destroyed by the Empress. It seems that my intervention did help the Dasheng Dynasty overcome the crisis of the cold disaster. At least my efforts were not in vain."
Ji Minxiu stroked his chin and pondered, "However, why would the Empress want to usurp the throne when she was perfectly fine? The specific reasons are not explained in detail in history. It seems that there are unknown inside stories. What about Ruan Ruan?"
Thinking of this, Ji Minxiu went to look up the information about the orchid hairpin again, which said it was unearthed on Qiongzhou Island.
It is speculated that the place where the artifact was unearthed is... a mass burial ground!
Upon seeing the three mass graves, Ji Minxiu felt a sharp pain in his heart.
If it was found in a tomb, it at least indicates that Yun Zhourong may have died of old age, and the jade hairpin was used as a burial item.
But it's a mass grave...
How could that be?
With him around, how could Yun Zhourong have fallen to such a state!
It seems that something unexpected happened that he was unaware of.
No, he absolutely cannot allow this to happen; all accidents must be nipped in the bud!
So, where did the accident actually come from?
Ji Minxiu thought of two points.
One reason is that he got into trouble and could no longer go to meet Yun Zhourong.
One of them had an accident involving a safety buckle, and the two of them could no longer communicate.
He has now withdrawn from the succession race, so there shouldn't be any further danger for him; all that's needed is to ensure proper security.
However, the safety buckle should be properly protected, just in case.
Half a month later, the second family finally arrived in the prefectural city.
“That’s right, this is indeed my junior brother’s handwritten letter. Since he asked, I will naturally do my best to help you.”
After reading the letter of introduction, Dr. Feng looked at the group and asked, "Arranging a place for you is easy, but as for work, I wonder what your individual abilities are?"
"I am a female healer, and I can help with medical consultations. My father was a scholar who passed the imperial examinations and even served as an official in the court. Please take a look..."
"You're a Jinshi (a successful candidate in the highest imperial examination)?"
Yun Zhourong had only given a brief introduction when Doctor Feng looked at Yun Hongcheng excitedly and asked, "May I ask how you are addressed, sir?"
"My name is Yun Hongcheng, courtesy name Ziluan," Yun Hongcheng said, cupping his hands in greeting.
"So it's Mr. Yun. May I ask what crime you were convicted of?" Doctor Feng asked anxiously and hopefully.
