Slender willows sway in the breeze

Chapter 22 Revitalizing the Family Business
Liu Sijun remained completely unmoved by Zhu Yingrong's questioning.

She traveled from another time and space. At that time, the original owner of this body had died and her soul had vanished. Even if a great immortal came, she would still be Liu Sijun.

However, Zhu Yingrong's question was quite clever.

If I had rashly returned home back then, I might not have been able to win her over.

"Aunt Zhu, is the secret you told in the ancestral hall related to my mother?"

Liu Sijun had no intention of spending too much time with Aunt Zhu and made his purpose for the trip clear.

"So you heard everything. Then why are you asking me? Just go ask your father!"

"Want to take a liking?"

Liu Sijun raised an eyebrow: "Don't you even know where you are now!"

What right do they have to try to negotiate with her?

Zhu Yingrong was emboldened: "This is the government prison; you wouldn't dare kill someone here."

“You were going to die anyway, why bother with this effort? But it’s a different story for my elder sister. The Frozen Domain is fraught with danger, and it wouldn’t be surprising if she were to be bitten to death by a ferocious beast.”

"you dare!"

Zhu Yingrong was furious. She got up from the bed, her shackles, which were covered with talismans, made her incredibly heavy. She could only slowly move to the cell door: "You don't have the ability to deal with my Qin'er."

As soon as he finished speaking, the bed behind him turned to dust in an instant.

The fluctuating spiritual energy made Aunt Zhu's heart pound, her pupils dilate, and she looked at Liu Sijun in disbelief.

So strong.

What do you mean by the third level of Qi Gathering? She has clearly already formed her core.

"You've concealed your cultivation level!!!"

Zhu Yingrong panicked: "You did this on purpose! What are you trying to do by hiding your cultivation level? You're not allowed to hurt Qin'er!"

"That depends on how smart you are."

Liu Sijun took a chair out of the box, sat down leisurely, leaned back slightly, and admired his fingers.

Zhu Yingrong was torn between her inner turmoil and her own conscience.

This was her greatest asset, and she needed to rely on this secret to get Liu Shiyuan to find a way to rescue her.

She didn't believe that Liu Sijun would actually dare to lay a hand on Qin'er.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yingrong gradually calmed down from her shock: "Liu Sijun, I'll say it again, if you want to know, ask your father."

“I know you made a deal, and I believe Father has the ability to rescue you. But after you’re rescued, can you go back to being Concubine Zhu in the Liu family?”

“I know you just want to save your life right now. If your eldest sister gets some good fortune in the Frozen Domain and is noticed by a sect, then you will have achieved your goal! Right, Aunt Zhu?”

Zhu Yingrong snorted and said, "Since you know that, then you understand that no matter what you say, I won't say it."

Liu Sijun chuckled lightly: "You said in the ancestral hall that Father thought too simply, but aren't you the same?"

These words successfully made Zhu Yingrong tense up again: "What do you mean?"

"You've lived with your father for twenty years, so you know him best. He's cold-hearted, selfish, and values ​​his reputation. The eldest son's family has never had a male heir. Does he really not care?"

Zhu Yingrong asked anxiously, "What exactly do you mean by that?"

"My older sister and I have a younger brother. He's five years old this year, and he's about this tall."

As Liu Sijun spoke, he gestured with his hands and continued, "He looks seven-tenths like his father, who loves him dearly and named him Liu Xingye."

To revitalize the family business.

The name Liu Xingye pierced Zhu Yingrong's heart. All her strength seemed to drain away suddenly; she collapsed to the ground, utterly dejected.

Memories flooded my mind.

"My dear Yuan, I must bear you a son, and I will name him Xingye, shall we?"

"I am already very content with my good daughter Qin'er! Rong'er's health is more important, so it's okay if she can't get pregnant."

Such conversations happen every now and then.

He says that every time.

She still thought that Liu Shiyuan was genuinely concerned about her health.

I never expected it to be like this.

This is even harder to accept than when he said he wanted to kill her in the ancestral hall.

When Zhu Yingrong heard the name Xingye, she knew that Liu Sijun hadn't lied to her. "Father has a son. Do you really think he would put my eldest sister first? I'm afraid that in the end, she will also become a stepping stone for Father and Liu Xingye."

Zhu Yingrong's pupils contracted sharply.

she letter.

Liu Shiyuan was capable of doing such a thing.

"You've done all this just so that your older sister can have a bright future. If you cooperate obediently, I can help you."

Of course, this is on the premise that Liu Siqin is clear-headed.

Otherwise, we'll deal with her just the same way, no questions asked.

Zhu Yingrong looked at Liu Sijun with an ambiguous expression: "By then I will be dead, who knows if what you said is true or false."

"It all depends on whether you're willing to take the gamble, just like when you bet that your father would marry you as his legal wife. But you lost that bet. Do you dare to do it again this time?"

Zhu Yingrong closed her eyes, then opened them again, her eyes filled with determination: "Fine, I'll bet!"

……

That's all I know; you'll have to find the evidence yourself.

Feeling disgusted, Liu Sijun got up and left.

She was afraid that she might lose control and kill her on the spot with a single blow, and then go back and kill Liu Shiyuan directly.

"Third Sister!"

Zhu Yingrong called out urgently, "Don't forget your promise."

"If Aunt Zhu dies a quick death, I will also fulfill my promise quickly. It all depends on your own choice."

Miji hadn't gone far; he was just around the corner.

As soon as Liu Sijun arrived, he immediately followed, saying, "I'll see Miss Liu out."

As they passed by cell number "A" again, the woman remained in the same position, her eyes following Liu Sijun's every step.

Liu Sijun stopped and stood in front of the prison cell.

"You have something to say to me?"

The woman's gaze shifted from Liu Sijun's face to her waist, staring intently at a pale yellow jade pendant.

The jade pendant is engraved with the character "极" and is only available to those who are permanently stationed at Wuji Tower.

In Laiyang County, no more than five people possess this jade pendant.

Few people know this.

"You recognize it?"

"I'll offer a crystal; would you be willing to grant me a wish?"

The woman's voice was weak and trembling.

She looked at the woman's face, which was exquisitely beautiful, with a classical charm. She wondered how long the woman had been locked up here; her hair was disheveled and tangled, her face was dirty, and she smelled foul.

Miji covered his nose and refused to get close.

However, these are all just appearances.

What Liu Sijun saw were three infant spirits, one on each side of the woman's shoulders, and another riding on her neck.

Logically speaking, the resentment of infant spirits is very strong. Those possessed by infant spirits will quickly have their yang energy drained, and they will become extremely weak. However, although the woman's face was dirty, she looked very healthy.

These three infant spirits not only did not harm her, but also absorbed the evil energy in the prison to protect the woman.

Take a closer look at the woman's face.

They were not vicious and evil people, but rather kind-hearted.

Everything is illogical.

And it really happened right before my eyes.

"You said."

Liu Sijun agreed to take on the task.

The woman didn't rush to speak, but stared blankly at Miji beside her.
