Maybe the reason the Daoist Priest brought his Spirit Tool up was to see if Rong Jiu was a ghost or a human.

The wind blew away the blood clothing that Rong Jiu had found from who knows where, causing her hair to sway wildly as well. Rong Jiu looked at Ning Daoyuan and Lady Yu who were hiding behind the archers with cold eyes.

So it turns out that they had already planned beforehand, that regardless of whether Ning Xinyan was a human or a ghost, they would exterminate him, that was why they set up a trap, in order to lure Ning Xinyan out.

Rong Jiu had coincidentally come to scare them, so she had fallen into this trap. This trap had been repeated countless times, and now, they had finally arrived.

"It's a human!"

The Daoist Priest spoke out and hurriedly left.

"Release the arrows!"

With Ning Daoyuan's order, the archers released their arrows, and Rong Jiu pulled out her whip to deflect the arrows.

"Even if he isn't your biological son, at least he has feelings for you. How could you guys be so heartless?"

She ordered Ning Daoyuan and the Lady Yu, "Your hearts only have power and face, do you not even have any feelings for him?"

In order to gain power, he had allowed his daughter to marry the crown prince. In order to gain face, he had put her to death.

In her mind, she thought about how the Lady Yu had kindly advised her to get along with the Crown Prince. Once she became the Crown Prince's Wife in the future, the Hou Mansion would be even more stable.

From beginning to end, they had never asked her if she was willing.

"In the eyes of Ning Daoyuan and the Lady Yu, not a single trace of regret could be seen. Anyway, you're not our daughter! All these years, we have already treated you as a friend. You should have returned the favor, but now you have come to hurt us.

Ning Daoyuan replied.

Rong Jiu used her whip to swing the arrow in the back, causing the archer shooting at her to instantly fall to the ground.

She stepped forward, her blood and clothes rolling. Ning Daoyuan and the Lady Yu waved their hands, and another person rushed forward to protect them.

"Is raising me considered loving? For such heartless people like you, who knows what reason you raised me back then! "

The act of nurturing the two of them was also a kindness, but she couldn't afford to care about them.

"Also, since you two are not my family, then, who are my family members?"

No wonder she and Ning Rouxue's bodies were similar, but their appearances were as different as the sky and the earth.

"Someone, take her down! Take her down!"

How could Ning Daoyuan have the mind to reply to her questions? Right now, he only wanted to stay away from Rong Jiu.

"Quick, capture him!"

Lady Yu's body trembled, she seemed to have found her own hope, "Let me tell you, if you want to hurt us, then you will never know who your true kin are!"

Rong Jiu stopped in her tracks. The servants attacked her, and Lady Yu's voice rang beside her ears.

She tightened her grip on the whip. "Do you think I'm afraid to do it?"

"Then give it a try!"

Although the Lady Yu was afraid, she still dared to take the risk.

Although these servants had power, they were merely small fries to Rong Jiu.

Rong Jiu swiped the long whip, and they fell down one by one. She wanted to go up and get rid of these two disgusting people.

However, her heart was in pain, as if Ning Xinyan was stopping her: Forget it, let's go.

She was ruthless, but this body was still nostalgic.

She flew away, leaving behind a message: From today onwards, your Marquis Wanning's Mansion will not be any better.

Currently, Ning Daoyuan and the Lady Yu both knew that Ning Xinyan wasn't dead, so they would be even more cautious now, afraid that Ning Xinyan would come forth and take revenge on them if he wasn't careful.

Rong Jiu was extremely furious. How could there be such a strange family in this world?

She didn't return to the Duke Palaces, but instead returned to the Huanyan House. When Yu Niang heard the sound of someone coming from the attic, she came out to see and heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that it was Rong Jiu who had returned.

"Yu Niang, prepare the wine and dishes. You and I will get drunk."

Seeing Rong Jiu like this, Yu Niang did not dare to ask anymore and went to prepare. Rong Jiu took off the mask that she had been showing others the entire time, and revealed her true appearance.

She looked at herself in the mirror: Do you think I'm willing to take revenge for you? If it wasn't for the fact that I don't like you, I would still be as carefree as I was in the previous lives. I don't care if there's any hatred between us, I am only me.

You've always wanted to stop me, but do you know how much hatred you have left? It's always affecting me, making it impossible for me to live a normal life!

She closed her eyes and a tear fell from the corner of her lips. It was unknown if it was Ning Xinyan's or hers.

Yu Niang brought the good wine and prepared two dishes for the feast. Rong Jiu hugged her wine pot and started drinking, "Yu Niang, sit together."

"Oh." Yu Niang sat obediently and didn't say much. She would only occasionally respond with a few words to Rong Jiu.

Rong Jiu chattered on for a long time, but Yu Niang didn't understand what she meant. She just sat there and fell asleep, while Rong Jiu continued to talk.

"If I keep getting along with those crazy people, one day, I will become a crazy person."

His head was in a daze, and even his vision had blurred. Rong Jiu's hands loosened and he collapsed.

Rong Jiu had a dream. She dreamt of Tuan Za and Dongfang Qisu. They lived together, and there were no conspiracies or hatred piled up in their hearts.

Everything was beautiful, there was no need to plan, no need to think about it.

"Mother, mother …"

Tuan Za called out to her again and again, pulling her out of her dream.

Rong Jiu struggled a little, and woke up from her dream. It was bright outside, and it looked like it was noon.

"What's wrong?" Rong Jiu propped herself up, her long hair hanging on the bed.

"Mother, today, Sister Jade sent someone to look for you. She said that her Huanyan House is an issue and wanted you to go over." Tuan Za said honestly, "I called for you earlier, but did not call you when I saw you sleeping soundly. However, it is already noon."

"Yu Niang?" Rong Jiu lightly hit her head, "Aren't I at Huanyan House?"

"Mother, did you lose your head from drinking too much wine? This is the prince's mansion." Tuan Za curled his lips helplessly, "Quickly get up, I'm going to look for the Elder Sister Hong Xing."

"Prince's Mansion?"

Rong Jiu shook her head. She clearly remembered that she was drinking at the Huanyan House.

She sat by the bronze mirror and looked at her usual face. Last night, she had thrown that face away. The events of last night had clearly occurred in her mind, but why did she not know it in the prince's mansion?

Could it be that he got drunk and returned to the Royal Mansion? Or could it be that everything that happened last night was just a dream? She hadn't left the Duke Palaces from start to finish, hadn't gone to the Marquis Wanning's Mansion, hadn't heard of any unfathomable things, and hadn't used alcohol to buy wine?

"Forget it, I won't think about it. Didn't Dongfang Qisu seem to be injured last night? "Go take a look and you'll know."

She didn't believe that her memories would suddenly become chaotic. In the end, who sent her back to the manor? Yu Niang would not make the decision on his own.
