Chapter 1914: Another Deception
Seeing that Lu Anfan was still very down, Lu Zhaoling thought for a moment and then agreed to do something else for him.
"I'll have someone investigate your aunt's life later. But she hasn't done anything particularly wicked, so it's reasonable to let her be reborn into a better family. Anyway, everyone has to go through this process eventually, so you don't need to be too sad."
"Even if she were alive, you two probably wouldn't be related by blood, because I already calculated it for you before..."
She felt her words of comfort were rather dry and unhelpful.
However, her words genuinely reassured Lu Anfan.
He regained some of his spirits.
"Thank you, big sister!"
“I think she’s probably suffering even though she’s alive.” Lu Anfan had thought so before.
What kind of good life could he expect following the Lu family? Even with his sister, he didn't think they'd have a good future. After all, even in this situation, Lu Zhaohua still had high aspirations and wanted to marry into a very good family.
That's completely impractical.
Therefore, it is difficult for them to live a good life in the future.
He might never see them again, so it would be better to know that his aunt was reborn into a good family and live a peaceful life in the next life.
Lu Anfan tried to put this matter aside and stood up. "I have to go. His Highness the Crown Prince wants me to go to the palace tomorrow and stand guard outside the palace."
I guess something might happen tomorrow, so he needs to go back and rest.
He must protect the Crown Prince well.
“Go ahead,” Zhou Shiyue said.
Lu Zhaoling took out a protective talisman and handed it over.
"Here you go. It's a talisman drawn using your birth date and time. Keep it close to your body and don't take it out casually."
"Thank you, big sister." Lu Anfan accepted the gift with both hands reverently and carefully put it into his arms. "Brother-in-law, you should also rest well and recover from your injuries. I'm leaving now."
“Hmm.” Zhou Shiyue nodded.
Lu Anfan turned and left, his steps firm.
Watching his retreating figure, Lu Zhaoling said with some emotion, "Lu Anfan has grown up too."
“He will have a bright future. Once the situation stabilizes, shouldn’t you, as his older sister, help him find a wife?” Zhou Shiyue looked at Lu Zhaoling.
"Get married?" Lu Zhaoling was taken aback for a moment, then shook her head. "I'm afraid that's not possible yet. I can't see his marriage line."
"Will this kid be alone for the rest of his life?" Zhou Shiyue asked, somewhat surprised.
"That's not necessarily true. Some people's fates change during a few major hurdles," Lu Zhaoling said. "But at least he doesn't have a romantic partner yet. Let's talk about it later."
There's no need to waste time looking for your marriage line if it's not yet visible.
When there are changes in one's destiny, one will naturally see it.
After leaving the palace, Lu Anfan nimbly mounted his horse and rode away into the night. At this moment, he truly had no romantic feelings whatsoever.
Right now, all he wants is to protect the Crown Prince and help stabilize the situation, so he can return to the border town and continue serving as a soldier.
He still prefers life in the military.
Madam Sheng returned quite quickly.
The situation in the village near the mass grave was roughly as Lu Zhaoling had guessed.
"There are a few little devils in that village who are trapped in a well. The villagers have been drinking the well water for the past two days and they all have stomach problems and feel very uncomfortable."
Sheng San Niangzi reported to Lu Zhaoling incessantly.
"If the master and the prince enter the village, wouldn't they stay there to help solve the problems first? After all, the master has the softest heart, and he certainly wouldn't see those old people and children who are sick and weak."
So, that should trap them for a while, wasting their time. Then they won't have time to rescue Lu Si.
"So you've resolved the matter?" Lu Zhaoling asked.
"Of course," Madam Sheng said proudly, raising her chin. "A few little ghosts and a bit of corpse energy? This immortal envoy can take care of them with a wave of his hand, can't he? I'm telling you, Master, sending me to do this is like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut, you know?"
Lu Zhaoling suppressed a laugh.
"I know, it's all my fault for sending a great immortal envoy to do such a trivial matter."
She paused, her eyes darted around, and then sighed, saying, "Well, I have no choice. You're the most capable person I have around, Grandma, and I trust you the most, so I can only ask you for help."
Sheng San Niangzi raised her head and straightened her chest again.
"Well, there's another problem right now, and I'm worried about who to ask for help. You just got back from taking care of some business, so I certainly don't want to trouble you with something else..."
Lu Zhaoling looked quite troubled.
Upon seeing her like this, Madam Sheng immediately said, "What is it? Master, what is our relationship? There's no need to be so polite! Just tell me, and I'll do it."
"That's not a good idea, is it? After all, it's not a big deal, it's just that there's really no one around me who's more capable than you..."
"I don't have anything else to do, so doing more work is a form of experience!" said Madam Sheng. "Master, just say it. After all, there really isn't anyone around you who can compare to me. What's that saying again?"
Lu Zhaoling quickly replied, "The capable should do more!"
“Yes, yes, yes, the capable should do more.” Madam Sheng tossed her hair, looked up and said, “There’s nothing we can do about someone who’s too capable.”
Lu Zhaoling said sincerely, "Really, Grandma, you're so capable, so amazing and beautiful! Then go to the Lu family's countryside. I had Zong Bie follow the Lu family before, but now that Lu Anfan's aunt has died, go and ask..."
She told her about it, and when Madam Sheng heard that it was about Lu Anfan, she said with sympathy, "It's about little Anfan, then I have to help him get it done."
"Grandma, after you leave the city, why don't you stop by the mountains and forests along the Hui River? There used to be a ghost from the Yu family there, and some of the ghosts there call him Young Master Yu. Go see if he's still there..."
"Sure, it's on my way."
So, not long after Sheng San Niangzi returned, before she could even catch her breath, she went out to run errands again.
Qingyin Qingbao listened to the whole thing here.
They didn't dare to look up or utter a sound.
Only after they were certain that Madam Sheng had left did the two of them speak.
"Your Highness, did Third Sister just leave like that? What if she realized what was happening halfway there?" Qingbao asked.
Lu Zhaoling took out the Golden Diamond Brush and began to draw talismans.
Hearing her words, she raised an eyebrow and said, "Realized what? I didn't lie to her, I was telling the truth."
Madam Sheng is very capable.
Qingbao: "......"
She still felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
"She's going to Nanzhao to find her Duan Lang later, so she needs to gain more experience now, right?"
Lu Zhaoling sighed and said, "I've always felt that the situation in Nanzhao is not simple."
Otherwise, why would she keep Granny Sheng from going? After all, Granny Sheng's cultivation level is already very high.
As Lu Zhaoling was drawing talismans, she suddenly remembered something. She put down her brush, turned around, and went to the inner room to find Zhou Shiyue.
