In the Elder Hall.

The seven elders gathered. The Third Elder held a bloodstained pouch in his hand. This pouch was given to her by Nie Wanrou’s mother. She had been bringing it all along. Inside was a small bag of spices and some rouge from her daughter’s house.

His daughter was missing, but his daughter’s purse was stained with blood and picked up by the guards cleaning the event location. Who would believe that nothing had happened to his daughter?

The Third Elder gripped the pouch tightly and asked angrily, “Great Elder, what exactly is going on? What did the people you sent out do to Wanrou?”

The Great Elder retorted, “Speaking of which, I wanted to ask you! Do you know who brought those spies out of the Wen Manor and out of the Sorcerer Clan? It’s your good daughter!”

The Third Elder said sternly, “She’s also your granddaughter-in-law now!”

The Great Elder said indifferently, “That’s why I didn’t cause trouble for you. Don’t push everything to me!”

The Second Elder went forward and said, “Alright, alright. The two of you, stop arguing. Let’s hear what the guards have to say. Someone, call the guards who have seen Mrs. Wen!”

A few guards walked forward respectfully. Among this group of people were the guards of the Wen Manor, the guards guarding the city, and the guards who had participated in the capture.

The Wen Manor guard said, “Second Madam said that she’s going back to her maiden home. She said that the carriage is filled with small gifts for her maiden family.”

The guard said, “Mrs. Wen said that a batch of goods came from another village. She wants to take a look.”

Upon hearing this, the elders revealed strange expressions. Their excuses did not match and they were clearly lying.

But why would she lie?

If she said that she did this for Wen Xu, no one present would believe her. Everyone knew about her relationship with Wen Xu. It was already good that she did not stab Wen Xu. How could she work for Wen Xu?

Could it be that… she was being held hostage? Or did someone poison her? Was she casted with sorcery?

Countless guesses flashed through everyone’s minds. Even the Third Elder, who had always trusted his daughter, could not help but have a solemn expression. He was confident that with his daughter’s character, she would not be easily threatened, but it was a different matter if she was poisoned by a Gu or sorcery.

The Third Elder’s gaze landed on the last guard. “What about you? When did

you see my daughter?”

The guard said, “Third Elder, I saw Mrs. Wen at the event location where she was killed.”

The Third Elder’s expression changed. “Continue!”

“Yes!” The guard lowered his head and said, “When I saw Mrs. Wen, she was with that group of people. Lord Wen Xu wanted to leave with Mrs. Wen… We planned to save her, but we were too late and Mrs. Wen was killed!” “What?” The Third Elder’s expression changed.

The guard said loudly, “It was Lord Wen Xu who killed her! However… that person is not the real Lord Wen Xu. I heard him say it himself that his name is

Dawa!”

After leaving the Elder Hall, the Fifth Elder and Seventh Elder caught up to the Third Elder.

“Third Elder,” the Fifth Elder called.

The Third Elder stopped in his tracks. The three of them glanced at the surroundings. After confirming that they were not being watched and that there were no idle people passing by, Third Elder said, “What is it?”

The Fifth Elder and the Seventh Elder exchanged glances.

“You should do the talking,” the Seventh Elder said.

The Fifth Elder nodded and asked, “Don’t worry too much about Wanrou. As the saying goes, you have to see her if she’s alive, and you have to see her corpse if she’s dead. Before you see Wanrou with your own eyes, it’s better not to be disheartened. ”

“That’s right. I’ve always believed that good people are blessed by the heavens,” the Seventh Elder said.

The Third Elder was silent. When the two of them saw that his expression was not right, they could not help but say in unison, “What’s wrong?” “I’m thinking about the fake Wen Xu,” Third Elder said.

“The fake Wen Xu?” The Fifth Elder frowned.

The Third Elder said thoughtfully, “On the day of my grandson’s baptism, Wen

Xu accompanied Rou’er back to the Nie Manor. At that time, I realized that Wen Xu was different from before, so I think that perhaps at that time, or even earlier, Wen Xu had already been replaced by that man called Dawa.”

The Fifth Elder seemed to have had an epiphany. “That seems to be the case. Ever since Wen Xu returned to the Sorcerer Clan, he has been repeatedly going against the Sorcerer Queen. Originally, I thought that he was bewitched by that vixen, but from the looks of it, that Wen Xu was probably fake from the beginning. ”

The Seventh Elder asked, “If that’s the case, where did the real Wen Xu go?”

The Third Elder and the Fifth Elder did not say anything. Wen Xu was not the twelve-year-old Ye Yang. He was not innocent. If he fell into the hands of that group of people, he would probably be in trouble.

But Nie Wanrou was innocent. Why did they kill her too?

The Fifth Elder said indignantly, “They let His Highness Ye Yang go. I originally thought that they still had some conscience, but from the looks of it, they’re worse than beasts!”

The Third Elder still did not say anything.

The scene of him being killed by the half-sacrificial soldiers a few hours ago appeared in his mind. It was that fake Wen Xu… who begged them to let him go.

The courtyard was deep.

Dawa fetched a basin of hot water and carried it into the Second Madam’s room. He wiped her face and hands. Her clothes had already been changed by Pinger. Actually, Dawa did not need to do anything, but he just wanted to do something, as if this could let her know that he was waiting for her.

“Dawa, it’s time to eat.” Yu Wan gently pushed open the door.

Dawa turned around, his eyes red. He didn’t cry, and there weren’t even any obvious tears, but his appearance was even more piercing to Yu Wan’s heart than when he cried.

Yu Wan sighed softly and walked over. “Don’t burn yourself out. I believe that Sister Nie will be blessed by the heavens. She will definitely wake up.” “Mm.” Dawa choked and lowered his head.

Yu Wan was not good at comforting people. She could not say anything more emotional. She could only raise her hand and gently pat Dawa’s shoulder. “Stay here with Sister Nie. I’ll bring you the food later.”

“Thanks a lot,” Dawa said.

He was not thanking her for this bowl of rice, but for her understanding and intentions.

At night, Chef Bao personally cooked a sumptuous dinner. Even though everyone present was used to eating delicacies, they could not help but be stunned by Chef Bao’s culinary skills.

It was not entirely true that he made many fancy and complicated dishes. Most of them were simple dishes that were original, but it made everyone from all over the world taste like their hometown.

“I ate this when I was young… My grandmother made it for me…” Zhou Yuyan said with tears streaming down her face.

“Me too, my mother made it for me…” Mu Qing couldn’t help but choke.

Yu Wan thought to herself, What is this? This plate ofgreen pepper potato slices is spicy but not greasy. Its clearly the taste my aunt made for me…

It had been too long since she last thought of her aunt.

In her previous life, after her parents passed away, it was her aunt who raised her. However, such an important person gradually faded from her mind after she came to the alternate world. It was this dish that brought back her almost lost memories.

“Thirteen…” Shadow Six sniffed. “I seem to have remembered something from before I was six years old… So I have a master…”

Before Shadow Six was chosen to be a sacrificial soldier, he was also an ordinary child. He had his own parents, his own master, and even many playmates his age.

However, those memories were too long. As he grew up day by day, they were sealed in the depths of his mind. Now that a plate of green pepper potato slices had completely torn open the membrane, memories surged up like a tide. “Boohoo…” Shadow Six turned around and cried on Shadow Thirteen’s shoulder.

These were not the only people who wanted to cry.

Shadow Thirteen tightened his grip bit by bit. However, his childhood memories were not very good. Those were the days when he was bullied until he could not fight back. Those were the days when he was wandering the streets without food to eat… Therefore, compared to sadness, he was more sad and afraid.

The only one who did not change his expression was Yan Jiuchao.

Chef Bao also noticed it.

This young man was even calmer than he had imagined. It could be said that he was terrifyingly calm. No wonder the girl had fallen into his hands. They were not on the same level at all…

The children, on the other hand, ate happily. The three little black eggs were sweating profusely as they ate. The usually restrained Zhou Jin also ate heartily.

“More!” Xiaobao said with an empty bowl.

“Er’bao wants it too!” Er’bao also picked up his small empty bowl.

Dabao: Me too!

Zhou Jin: “Ahem, I want one too.”

Yu Wan poked their little faces one by one and said, “But you’ve all eaten your third bowl.”

Xiaobao pointed with his little hand. ‘What’s the big deal? Brother Zhou Jin has already eaten five bowls!”

Zhou Jin blushed. ‘ The Sorcerer King : ‘

Everyone: .
