With the cannon fodder script in hand, it is easy for the king to change his fate

"Alas, Chu Laoer and the other two are pitiful, being forced to this point."

"The money that Chu Lao Er has earned over the years is more than enough to protect Chu Qi. But in the end, she ended up like this. It's no wonder that the two of them were anxious."

"The two elders in the Chu family have always been partial. They love the eldest and the youngest son even though they are all sons, as if the second son Chu is not their biological son."

"They are my biological children. I went to help them back then. Besides, the three brothers of the Chu family look very similar. How could they not be my biological children?"

The Chu Shan couple, who were busy in the fields, could vaguely hear the villagers' discussions, but they didn't care at all.

Ever since their daughter was chosen as the Dragon King's wife, they finally saw through everything and discovered how wrong they had been before.

If they had been smarter, they would not have let their daughter suffer.

If the bamboo raft that was used to carry the Dragon King's wife had not been tied with stones, her daughter might have been able to survive. But with so many stones tied to it, it was only a matter of time before it sank.

It has been more than half a month now, it is impossible for my daughter to still be alive.

"Look, that's a nobleman's carriage. It's such a grand occasion."

"Why did you come to our little Plum Blossom Village?"

"Someone got off the carriage. Huh? A girl got off. She looks familiar."

"Isn't that... that girl Chu Qi?"

what?
The Chushan couple, who originally didn't care about the discussion in the village, suddenly raised their heads and saw Ah Qi walking towards them. They were stunned for a moment. When they came to their senses, they immediately dropped the farm tools in their hands and ran towards Ah Qi's position.

But when he ran in front of Asui, his excited heart slowly calmed down.

The girl in front of them did look like their daughter, but she was more outstanding than their daughter, with fair skin, black hair, and a noble temperament, like a fairy. She couldn't be their daughter who had never enjoyed happiness since childhood. They still remembered that their daughter's hands were rough from work and had scars left by frostbite, but the girl in front of them had fingers as thin as scallions, which were completely untouched by water.

This is not their daughter.

All the joy of the two faded away, and their faces were filled with sadness.

Their daughter would never come back.

"Dad, Mom." At this moment, A'qi called the two of them.

Since she was no longer the daughter of Chu Shan and his wife, Ah Qi naturally did not hide anything from them, so they could tell at a glance that she was not the original Chu Li.

Therefore, Ah Qi's call of "Dad and Mom" ​​brought the two people back from their grief, and they were a little at a loss for a moment.

This is not their daughter, why should she call them father and mother?

"Let's get in the carriage and talk." said A'rui.

The Chu Shan couple looked at each other and nodded heavily.

This girl looked just like their daughter, and she had just called their parents. They wanted to know the reason, and more importantly, they wanted to know where their daughter was.

Is their daughter still alive?
Thinking of this, the couple became excited and quickly followed Asui and got on the carriage.

There were only three of them in the carriage. The people who followed A'rui retreated far away, guarding the surroundings and not letting anyone get close.

This time, Shen Zhengan also came. He was riding on a horse, dressed as a guard. His appearance had changed a lot and familiar people could no longer recognize him.

"Girl, is my daughter still alive?" Liu Suniang asked with tears in her eyes, her hands clenched tightly. In fact, she could vaguely feel that her daughter would never come back.

Chu Shan said nothing, but looked at A'rui with red eyes.

"This body is indeed your daughter's, but I am not your daughter." A'rui said, "She died of a high fever."

Chu Shan and his wife fell down, and Ah Qi did not intend to help them. This was the result, and they had to accept it.

"But if you take over her body, I will take care of you." Ah Qi added, "That's the reason why I came here today. However, in public, you are still my parents, but our fate has ended."

Chu Shan and the other two were extremely sad. They did not dare to cry out loud and just kept wiping away their tears.

"After the selection of the Dragon King's concubine, I was rescued." Ah Qi handed two handkerchiefs to the two of them. "The rumors about the Water Dragon King are completely nonsense. The person who rescued me is of high status and is already investigating the matter. There shouldn't be such outrageous things like the Water Dragon King's selection of a concubine happening here again."

The Chu Shan couple cried quietly, and said several good words when they heard this.

"Since you are still alive, live well." Ah Qi said, "I heard that you have also separated. Instead of living in confusion like a walking corpse, you might as well cheer up and live well, do something meaningful, and also pray for her."

Their weakness and lack of self-control have more to do with the environment. Chu Li's death is their fault, but it is not entirely their responsibility.

The Chu Shan couple were confused for a moment, then the turbidity in their eyes dissipated and became bright.

Yes, they are still alive.

Instead of messing around like this, it’s better to do something good and pray for your daughter.

I don’t expect my daughter to be reborn into their family, I just hope that she can be born into a good family in the next life, with a pair of loving and protective parents.

A'qi handed the two men a purse. They didn't want it, but they couldn't refuse.

She said, "This is the karma between you and me, you have to accept it."

This cause and effect will not affect her, but generally speaking she will still follow the rules, which is the simplest solution.

"I'll go to the Chu family as well."

The people of the Chu family have already known the news of Ah Qi's return, and their faces are filled with fear.

They knew very well what they had done regarding the Water Dragon King's selection of a concubine. They were afraid that A'qi would cause trouble, so they wanted to inquire for information, but they didn't dare to.

When he learned that the luxurious carriage was coming, he was even more frightened, but he had to come out to greet it.

Seeing Chu Shan and his wife getting off the carriage, followed by A'li, they wondered in their hearts, could it be that Chu'li had won the favor of the Water Dragon King?
If that's the case, should I settle the score with them when I come back today?
Are the Chu Shan couple going to become rich?

Only after A'qi spoke did they understand what was going on.

Ah Qi said the same thing, she didn't see the Dragon King, but was rescued at sea.

I came back today just to settle the final cause and effect with the Chu family.

"From now on, I have nothing to do with the Chu family."

"My life, death, wealth and honor have nothing to do with you, and your life, death, wealth and honor have nothing to do with me."

After saying that, Ah Qi was about to get on the carriage. He thought of the matter of the Water Dragon King and said to the villagers who were watching: "There is no Water Dragon King choosing a concubine. This matter will be resolved soon."

Before the villagers could get surprised, A'qi had already boarded the carriage.

The villagers started talking about it only after the carriage had gone so far away and was completely out of sight.

Let’s not talk about Chu Qi’s severing of ties with the Chu family. What’s the matter with the Water Dragon King’s selection of a concubine that she mentioned?

Some smart people have already run to the county town and plan to inform the county magistrate Zhu Wenjian about this matter.

Zhu Wenjian soon learned the news that Chu Qi had returned. His face was filled with fear, and soon a sinister look appeared on his face.

He couldn't just let Chu Qi off like this, otherwise what authority would he have as the magistrate of Laining County? (End of this chapter)
