After returning to Wuwang City, Madam Qingyu took Chen He directly to her courtyard and into the secret room.
Shen He could see that those runes all had a shielding effect.
It seems that this is Madam Qingyu's secret base, and she doesn't want outsiders to know about it.
"Xiao He, light some incense."
Madam Qingyu stopped in front of the shrine and lifted the red cloth.
"The seat of Yurao."
Shen He read these four words, but had no impression of them at all.
"This is your mother's tablet."
While Madam Qingyu was explaining, she had already lit a stick of incense and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised.
"Yu Rao, Xiao He has grown up. Over the years, it was me, her aunt, who failed to take good care of her. I didn't realize how much she had suffered in the Qingyu Sect."
Chen He: Yamedie! My mother’s name sounds so familiar!
Without disturbing Madam Qingyu and the tablet from reminiscing about the past, Chen He also wanted to hear some useful news.
Madam Qingyu was not a talkative person, and knowing that Chen He was anxious, she told him some information that was easy to disclose.
"Your mother is from a secluded family. I didn't ask for details, I just know she came out secretly to gain experience. And even a large family, even if it's secluded, has its own rules."
Madam Qingyu sighed.
"Besides, a large family will have many factions. Even your mother doesn't know who has been trying to assassinate her."
Chenhe: There are many troughs but no mouths.
"So, my mother might have been killed by her own people?"
If that's the case, she needs to know the truth so she can be on guard.
Who knows if that mysterious family would want to destroy her as well.
At least that's how it's written in novels. The tribesmen who are being hunted down must be completely eradicated.
"Yes and no."
Madam Qingyu looked at Chen He and said, "Your mother once told me that her family is full of brothers, and she has been spoiled since she was a child. Since your grandfather is the patriarch, she is equivalent to a little princess of the royal family."
Chen He’s teeth are sore!
"This is definitely a script for the group's favorite!"
I'm so envious. She has worn it so many times, why doesn't she have such a good thing?
"script?"
Madam Qingyu looked at Chen He in confusion.
"What I mean is, my mother was born with a cheat, she's as precious as gold and jade!"
Shen He explained casually and said, "It's not important, please continue."
Madam Qingyu smiled faintly, looking at Chen He with a doting look in her eyes.
"Your mother and I met each other through fighting. At that time, your father and your mother were still a pair of bickering lovers. Since they were both adventurous people, it was natural for them to become husband and wife."
Madam Qingyu's eyes were filled with nostalgia, but also sadness.
Chen He thought about how Si Yuan's father had been missing for more than ten years. Maybe Madam Qingyu met her ghost mother when she was looking for her husband?
But these are not important. Chen He obediently took out two chairs and asked Madam Qingyu to sit down and talk.
But he felt that it sounded too dry, so he took out a small table and put some spiritual fruits and snacks on it.
Having taken the identity of someone else's daughter, Shen He also placed offerings of fruit in front of the shrine and bowed down.
Madam Qingyu watched everything with a smile until Shen He sat down, and then continued.
"Those years, I was looking for Yuan'er's father, so I walked with your parents for a while and became sisters with different surnames."
Madam Qingyu just brushed these things aside.
"It was also during this journey that I learned that your father also had a story. Although your father's surname was also Shen, he was not actually the son of the then head of the Shen family. That's why he became a disciple on his own and stayed away from the Shen family."
Chen He: This melon is big enough!
"My grandma, is she cheating on my grandpa?"
Chen He's gloating look made Madam Qingyu laugh.
Let’s not talk about this kind of thing, whether a little girl should say it or not.
But how is it unreasonable to be so happy?
"No, your biological grandfather was the head of the Shen family. But he died in the human-demon war a hundred years ago, and the Shen family declined because of it. But after your biological grandfather passed away, your nominal grandfather took the position of head of the family and forcibly occupied your grandmother."
Chen He: It’s so melodramatic!
"My father is so cowardly, isn't he? His own mother was taken away by someone else. This is such a great humiliation, but instead of seeking revenge, he acknowledges the thief as his father. What is he even doing returning to the Shen family?"
Shen He expressed his incomprehension.
I’m afraid that ghost dad has some serious illness?
"This is also the reason why your mother looked down on your father. Once they had an argument and forgot to set up the shielding formation, so I learned the truth."
Madam Qingyu smiled bitterly and her eyes fell on the tablet.
"It turns out that after your biological grandfather passed away, the Shen family was on the verge of collapse. In order to allow your father to survive, your nominal grandfather married your grandmother, but they were not a real couple."
Madam Qingyu paused for a moment and continued, "And your uncle is actually the same age as your father, but in order to protect your father, they exchanged names, which led to him being nearly killed several times."
Chen He: Holy crap! This story is kind of terrible!
In this case, if she killed Shen Rongrong, would she be burdened with karma?
Having inherited the original owner's identity and body, Chen He must bear her cause and effect. This is the Tao.
Seeing Shen He frowning, Madam Qingyu smiled and rubbed her face.
"Don't overthink it at such a young age. While it's true that they protected your father from disaster, ultimately, your nominal grandfather owed your biological grandfather a debt, and that's why he was willing to bear this responsibility."
Madam Qingyu sighed again.
"Ever since your father gave up his inheritance rights to the Shen family, and he and his wife died protecting the Shen family, the previous debt has been written off."
Chen He nodded hurriedly like a chick pecking at rice.
She loves to hear this!
Danger and glory coexist. Since it is a grudge between generations, there is no need for her, a junior, to inherit it.
Moreover, the ghost parents have already repaid more than one wave of favors, and the original owners were killed by Chen Rongrong, so it can be written off.
"Since Madam is my mother's godsister, she is my aunt. Xiao He has met my aunt."
Chen He stood up obediently and performed the junior's greeting.
"No need to be so polite. I sincerely want to adopt you as my adopted daughter, but I've been so busy lately that I haven't had time to take care of it. From now on, Wuwang City will be your home. When you grow up, you can inherit it at any time..."
Before Madam Qingyu could finish her words, Chen He covered her mouth.
The smell of the spiritual fruit penetrated her nose, and Madam Qingyu looked at Chen He in confusion.
"Aunt is much closer than godmother, but there's no need to go through so much trouble. We can just be close."
Chen He doesn't care about form.
"As for the inheritance, please don't say anything more, aunt. I'm a wild person. I just want to go out and have fun, but I can't be the master of a city."
Shen He was speaking the truth.
She likes money and power, but doesn't like taking responsibility!
Having a backer is enough.
Before growing up, it is enough to have someone to protect you.
Don't be greedy.
"You, in this respect, are just like your parents, both of you have unruly personalities."
Madam Qingyu said helplessly.
Chen He chuckled. She was born to love freedom. What could she do?
"Then, aunt, do you know who wiped out the entire Shen family?"
After paying such a huge deposit at the ghost market but getting no news at all, Shen He suspected that he had been cheated.
