The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 985 Ginger Soup

The origin of Meng Shisan's Qingrang is not particularly special.

I still remember hundreds of years ago, before she met Chang'an, she once traveled into the mortal world and helped a woman in the mortal world. The woman was very brave and valiant. After being abandoned by her husband's family and disliked by her own family, she resolutely established a female household.

It is extremely difficult for a woman to establish herself in the world and to establish a household with women.

No matter how difficult it was, the young woman was determined and persevered for a long time. After going through a series of complicated official verifications, she finally obtained the qualification to establish a female household.

During this process, the young woman was bullied and humiliated. She happened to pass by and, unable to bear seeing it, stepped in to help. In gratitude, the young woman gave her a green jade pendant carved from green jade.

She did not refuse, and was delighted to see it. After taking it, she named it Qingrang.

The young woman also said, "Miss Meng's given name is 'Thirteen,' so I had my craftsman carve two small characters on the back of the jade pendant, hoping that Miss Meng would be pleased."

She turned it over and sure enough, she saw two small characters engraved on the lower left corner of the back of the green soil: "Thirteen".

She nodded and said she was happy.

Meng Shisan was not interested in Huang Jing's family's insistence on finding the old objects, so she didn't ask any questions about the water snake's repeated trips to the Kuangguang River with Huang Jing these days.

At most, I'll ask one question: "Have you found it?"

If she couldn't find it, she wouldn't ask a second question.

Time flies, and hundreds of years have passed. Qingrang has always been by her side, but the woman has been reincarnated countless times and has no chance to meet her again.

For her, the green soil was neither important nor very important.

My young friend gave him this gift.

Therefore, when Qingrang was damaged due to the tribulation, although she felt it was a great pity, she was not sad or upset. She simply put it away and kept it safe.

Unexpectedly, Qingrang, which she had taken into her body, was incorporated into her memories in such an unimaginable way after she was forced to become Meng Liangchen.

If the half in Li Shou's hand is fake, could the old object that the Huang family has been searching for generation after generation be real?

If it's true, and it really is the half of her body destroyed by the lightning tribulation, then...

As Meng Shisan swam in the water, his brow furrowed deeper and deeper as he thought of this.

If that half of the green soil she broke off by lightning were to actually appear in this vast river and become the treasure of the Huang clan, then it would certainly not be a coincidence that she was struck by lightning and entered the original owner's body, traveling all the way from Jinling to the capital.

There must be a cause and effect in this.

Perhaps she will find the reason why she was forced to become Meng Liangchen, which she has been searching for all along.

With this thought in mind, Meng Shisan searched even more diligently underwater.

The water snake followed Meng Shisan into the water. It had gone into the water so many times that it had not only turned over every corner and every layer of mud in the vast river, but it had also almost completely sifted through it.

It has been cultivating in the vast river for a long time, and in terms of familiarity, no one is more familiar with it than it.

However, I still can't find it.

The water snake quietly followed Meng Shisan beside or behind him, watching him search diligently in the river, occasionally surfacing to catch his breath before diving back down to continue his search.

When it reached the deepest point, it watched its predecessor turn its hands into the river mud.

He even turned over the river mud, but he didn't find it.

It thought that its predecessor's efforts were in vain. However, just as it found a patch of river mud, seeing that it had also searched this spot and found nothing, and that its predecessor would surely find nothing as well, it watched as its predecessor pulled a strip-shaped object covered in mud and sand from the river mud.

The water snake was dumbfounded: "Senior..."

"It seems like we've found it." Meng Shisan couldn't say much in the water, so he took what he was holding and swam directly to the surface.

The water snake was stunned for a good dozen breaths before it quickly followed and swam upwards.

The moment Meng Shisan surfaced, people on both sides of the river breathed a sigh of relief.

Huang Jing felt the same way. Although she had confidence in Meng Shisan, Meng Shisan's poor health was a real issue. Seeing Baozhu's worried expression beside her, she couldn't help but feel anxious as well.

As soon as Meng Shisan's head surfaced, not to catch his breath, Huang Jing immediately shouted at Meng Shisan, "Have you found it?"

As Meng Shisan swam toward the riverbank near Huang Jingbaozhu, he waved the strip-shaped object in his hand: "Found one, but I don't know if it's the right one yet."

Huang Jing's eyes immediately lit up.

Baozhu didn't share Huang Jing's joy. Her heart and mind were filled with relief that her young mistress was safe and sound. The moment she saw Meng Shisan swimming back, she took the thick cloak she had taken out of the carriage and stood on the riverbank.

She had to put the thick cloak on her mistress the moment she swam back to shore, so that she wouldn't catch a cold!
Seeing that Meng Shisan was finally about to reach the shore, Bai Zhuo's anxious heart finally settled down. He then noticed the thick cloak that Baozhu had prepared and said, "Go and prepare a bowl of ginger soup nearby."

Upon hearing this, the four palace guards exchanged glances for a few moments, and one of them accepted the order: "Yes, sir."

The best option was to go to a riverside house and exchange gold or silver for a bowl of ginger soup to ward off the cold.

But just as he was about to exchange silver for a bowl of hot ginger soup from a commoner's home, Bai Zhuo stopped him, saying, "There's no need to go."

He followed Bai Zhuo's gaze with a puzzled look and saw that Nai She had already handed a small food box to Bao Zhu.

Baozhu, unaware of what it was, said, "This is..."

Nai She said, "This is the ginger soup that my young master prepared for Miss Meng."

"Young Master Lu has thought things through..." That's what he said, but Baozhu didn't dare to accept it without permission. She turned to the carriage with its two doors tightly closed and asked, "Miss?"

After landing, Meng Shisan put on a heavy cloak and went straight into the Meng family's carriage. Inside the carriage, he changed into a dry dress that he always kept on hand when traveling. Just as he finished changing, he overheard Nai She and Bao Zhu's conversation.

To be honest, she didn't really want to accept Lu Luo's kindness.

She asked, "Where is your son?"

“My young master didn’t come. He said he couldn’t cause Miss Meng any trouble,” Nai She replied from outside the carriage.

Hearing the words "I can't cause her any trouble," Meng Shisan's resolve to refuse softened: "Please thank your young master for me."

After Nai She left, Bao Zhu carried a small food box with only one layer onto the train. She went into the carriage and brought out ginger soup for Meng Shisan to drink.

After drinking the ginger soup, Meng Shisan felt much warmer.

Huang Jing remained silent by the river. She held the strip-shaped object that Meng Shisan had brought up and washed it repeatedly in the river. When she finally saw that it was indeed half a jade pendant, she was so shocked that she was speechless.

She seemed not to have seen or heard anything about what happened on Bai Zhuo's side, whether Nai She came and left, or Meng Shisan changed clothes and drank ginger soup.

Until Baozhu opened the tightly closed car door and called out, "Miss Huang!"

She slowly came to her senses and turned to look at the Meng family's carriage, which was a dozen steps away from the shore. Baozhu was waving at her.

Baozhu said, "Miss is calling for you!"
