Chapter 725: Birthday
"City God?" the old lady exclaimed.
"Yes, my grandfather was named City God because he saved countless lives and protected the people. This is God's reward to him." Lu Chaochao looked at the scene with a smile.
Rong Che quietly wiped away his tears, looking calm.
Xu Shiyun couldn't help laughing, but her eyes were still red and swollen, so she couldn't laugh out loud.
"You even hid it from your mother?" She glared at Chao Chao.
No wonder the little girl told her to stop crying the whole time, just cry for a while and don’t be too sad.
So, she already knew it?
Shanshan's face was originally filled with sadness, but when he saw his grandfather in the void looking at him, his whole body tensed up.
"Sister, I am your brother!"
"Why didn't you tell Shanshan earlier? Woohoo, what are the tears Shanshan shed?
Lu Chaochao blinked her eyes, looking innocent: "You are filial!"
"Grandpa, you are so lucky to have this. It is really a blessing for our Rong family. Oh, it's a happy event, a huge happy event." The old lady smiled immediately. The Rong family has made progress! !
"Chao Chao is so tight-lipped that she even hid such a big thing from her mother." Yun Niang was sour. Her daughter had grown up...
"Mom, Dad, Grandpa and Grandma, I'm not hiding this from you. The secret cannot be leaked. If it is announced in advance, who knows what will happen."
"Besides, when grandpa dies, it's like a light goes out. He is no longer a mortal. Giving him a sense of ceremony and letting him cry his heart out can be considered a beginning and an end..." What he said actually made sense.
The Rong family was crying and laughing. Even Mr. Rong didn't expect this...
They all said goodbye sentimentally, but in the end...
I opened my eyes and, hey, I'm alive.
The old man was also deeply moved, and he immediately bowed respectfully to the heavens to express his trust in God. He immediately stated that he would definitely protect this pure land.
"This City God Temple is not popular enough, and it's leaking. Tomorrow I will donate a large sum of money to you to repair the golden statue. You should be a good official..."
"Oh, we have to burn some incense and tell the ancestors of the Rong family." The old lady, who originally had a dejected face, now spoke with full energy and even walked with the wind.
Yunniang supported her and said, "Mom, there's no need to burn incense. Don't you see what father is doing now?"
The old lady was startled, and then she saw Old Master Rong stroking his beard with a smile: "When I was canonized as the City God, our ancestors already knew about it."
The Rong family had made great contributions during their lifetime, and most of them stayed in the underworld to work.
However, although the Rong family had made great contributions, they were still mortals and did not obtain any position of real power. After all, just as mortals have relatives, so do gods.
What's more, there is a saying that when one person succeeds, the whole family will benefit, which is even more obvious.
In the underworld, many good positions are occupied by people with connections.
The Duke of Zhenguo even reunited with his parents and brothers who had died early, making up for his regrets from the past. His sudden appearance as the City God made the Rong family extremely happy.
But there are more doubts.
Rong Che immediately took people to clean the City God Temple personally, went to buy fresh fruits and snacks for offering, and contacted people to repair the City God Temple.
"Chao Chao, does this matter have anything to do with you?" After everyone was busy with their own things, the Duke of Zhenguo asked Lu Chaochao in a low voice.
Lu Chaochao smiled and said, "Grandfather, your merits are known to the heavens, why do you need Chaochao's help?"
"Besides, you should be able to feel God's will. All this is just natural. You deserve it."
The old man was relieved then. As the elder of the family, he would naturally not allow Chao Chao to be harmed for his future.
Lu Chaozhao blinked slyly.
She was not wrong. The Duke of Zhenguo deserved the position of City God.
It's just...now the God Realm is full of filth and there are no rules at all. The rules of heaven are meaningless. If she doesn't fight for it, she won't get this good position as the Duke of Zhenguo.
No matter how glorious a person's life is, there will be a period of confusion after death.
By the time he reacted, his position had already been taken by someone else.
She was just asking God to give him fairness.
She couldn't use the power in her hands to benefit her family.
But we will never allow ourselves to suffer losses!
Shanshan secretly pulled at the corner of Lu Chaochao's clothes, with a flattering look on her face: "Sister, let me ask you something..." He grinned and looked flattering.
"Since my grandfather is not dead, does that mean that what I promised him is no longer valid?"
Lu Chaochao looked at him with a smile, and Shanshan shuddered at the look in her eyes.
"I was just asking...just asking, I didn't say anything." After saying that, he fled.
Lu Chaochao curled her lips and said, "That's a nice thought."
Everyone in the Rong family was busy until dark before going home. Although they were exhausted, they all had smiles on their faces.
The house was still in mourning, but the atmosphere inside had changed from dull to cheerful.
Many maids and servants didn't know what had happened. Xun Dengzhi and a few close confidants tried to find out, but no information was revealed.
"The old man is already living a rare age, so maybe the old lady has let it go. As servants, aren't we hoping that the old lady and the mistress will be well?" Dengzhi's words were flawless, so everyone stopped speculating and just acted more relaxed on a daily basis.
The Rong family was still in mourning to the outside world, but the tranquility inside the mansion had long since returned to normal.
Early the next morning, Emperor Xuanping summoned Lu Chaochao to the palace.
After the eunuch closed the palace door, Emperor Xuanping stepped forward and asked intimately, "Chao Chao, I heard that the Duke of Zhenguo got a job as an official in the underworld? Is this true?"
Lu Chaochao sat on the chair, swinging her short legs, and eating pastries leisurely.
"Yes, yes, it happens to be in charge of our area."
Emperor Xuanping raised his eyebrows slightly: "Chao Chao... you see, although we are not biological children, we are better than father and daughter, right?"
Lu Chaochao glanced at him indifferently, and Emperor Xuanping suddenly felt guilty.
Oh, she is obviously not even seven years old, but it seems like nothing can be hidden from her. Immediately, Emperor Xuanping blushed...
"Emperor Daddy, you are already a noble king in the world when you are alive. It is not good to be overly obsessed with power..."
Emperor Xuanping...
Being taught a lesson by a little brat is really...
"I am not obsessed with power...really..." The king who had the final say in the court was now stuttering.
"If you want to keep your wealth, you can open an account while you are still alive."
"You can open an account with Fengdu Emperor or Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and then fold more gold ingots. You have to fold them by hand. You can enjoy them directly after you die..."
Emperor Xuanping immediately wrote down these words.
"Tomorrow is your birthday. Go to my private storehouse and pick out some treasures you like to bring back." Emperor Xuanping waved his hand generously, and Lu Chaochao immediately jumped up from his chair like a rat in a rice jar.
"Thank you, Emperor Daddy. Emperor Daddy is a very good man..." After saying that, she hurriedly called the eunuch to take her to the private storehouse.
Emperor Xuanping………………
Is it too late to regret?
