Douluo: Reborn as Tang San's Cousin

Chapter 32 Zhu Zhuqing's White Moonlight

A short-haired girl, also wearing a black leather jacket, walked in, but her expression was slightly arrogant.

She looked at Zhu Zhuqing and snorted coldly, "If you hadn't insisted on awakening a year early and wanted to compete with me, your mother wouldn't have ended up like this."

"I advise you to take care of yourself!"

After she said these words, she realized that there was someone else in the room.

Zhu Zhuyun's face darkened, and she narrowed her eyes coldly, looking at the other people in the room.

The first person she looked at was Hu Liena because she was the same age as her.

Yan and Xie Yue are two years older than Hu Liena, but their soul powers are not much different at the moment.

The remaining people, including Tang Nianxiao, looked about five or six years old and were not even worthy of Zhu Zhuyun's attention.

"Who are you? This is the residence of the Duke of Netherworld. Can you just come in casually?"

Duke of the Underworld?

Tang Nianxiao was stunned for a moment, then remembered that Zhu Zhuqing's martial soul was the Netherworld Spirit Cat.

Zhu Zhuqing clenched her fists, stood up, and said angrily, "They are here to treat Mom's illness!"

"Oh, now you can't even call me sister? You really have no manners!"

Zhu Zhuyun snorted coldly and glanced at the beautiful woman who was leaning against the head of the bed and looked extremely weak.

"Remember, don't fight with me again. This is just a lesson for you!"

After saying that, she turned and left.

Zhu Zhuyun's words made Zhu Zhuqing tremble all over.

If she had previously suspected that it was the eldest lady who did it, now she was completely certain.

Otherwise, Zhu Zhuyun would not come here to show off.

Zhu Zhuqing clenched her hands tightly, and her soul power fluctuated unsteadily.

Tang Nianxiao could feel that the fluctuation of her soul power was not bad, at least at level eight or nine.

"Your martial soul awakened a year early?" Tang Nianxiao asked, frowning slightly.

With this level of soul power, if he awakens a year later, his soul power may be able to break through to the innate full soul power.

It’s a pity that he woke up a year early.

Zhu Zhuqing was stunned and lowered her head in silence.

Lan Er explained, "Miss, there's nothing you can do. If you hadn't found a way to awaken the Netherworld Spirit Cat Martial Spirit, and successfully awakened it..."

Lan'er's voice gradually choked up. "Otherwise, otherwise, the young lady will be adopted to the branch family and will never see the Second Madam again."

Everyone was stunned.

Lan'er began to explain.

It turns out that the Zhu family is indeed a big family in the Xingluo Empire, and the Duke of Netherworld is a direct descendant of the Zhu family.

But unlike the direct line, there are very few girls born in the branch in recent years.

However, the Netherworld Cat spirit was only inherited by the girl.

The younger brother of the Duke of the Netherworld married several wives, and all of their children were boys, but none of them awakened the Netherworld Spirit Cat spirit.

On the direct line, the second wife gave birth to a girl.

In addition, the third prince of the Xingluo royal family is of the same age as the second daughter of the Duke of Netherworld, Zhu Zhuqing, so their marriage is naturally put on the agenda, waiting for Zhu Zhuqing to awaken the Netherworld Spirit Cat spirit.

However, if the third prince really married the daughter of the Duke of the Netherworld, he would be in competition with his brother.

Taking these factors into consideration, the eldest lady set her sights on Zhu Zhuqing.

As long as she has not awakened the Nether Spirit Cat, she can be adopted into the branch.

If she awakens later and gets engaged to the Third Prince, and has a princess who is not a legitimate heir, the possibility of the Third Prince inheriting the throne will be greatly reduced.

But if Zhu Zhuqing awakens in advance and gets engaged to the third prince as a legitimate descendant, it will directly affect the status of Zhu Zhuyun, the eldest prince's consort.

Of course Zhu Zhuqing was unwilling, so the second wife thought of a way to make Zhu Zhuqing wake up in advance before she was adopted, and directly finalize the engagement with the third prince.

In this way, adoption becomes a joke.

How could Zhu Zhuqing, who had already become the future consort of the Third Prince, be adopted into a branch family? The eldest lady's plot was nipped in the bud.

As a result, the second wife is now seriously ill.

Tang Nianxiao and others listened quietly to Lan'er's story, and quickly formed the whole thread in their minds.

He turned to look at Zhu Zhuqing, "So that's how it is. Then your mother's life in the Netherworld Duke's Mansion will be very difficult."

"If possible, I suggest you ask your fiancé, the Third Prince, for help."

Speaking of the third prince, Zhu Zhuqing frowned slightly.

Lan Er also pouted angrily, "Don't look at the Third Prince, he's only 8 years old now, but he already has many girlfriends. How could he be interested in her..."

"Lan'er, stop talking." The beautiful woman said in a low voice.

Lan'er shut up immediately, while Zhu Zhuqing hung her head with tears welling up in her eyes.

If possible, she also didn't want to marry the third prince who only knew her as little sister every day.

Tang Nianxiao couldn't help but reached out and rubbed Zhu Zhuqing's head.
"In fact, the only person everyone can rely on is themselves."

Xiao Wu stood by, pouting a little jealously, and took two steps closer to Tang Nianxiao.

Zhu Zhuqing raised her head and looked at Tang Nianxiao, thinking of the three soul rings he had released before.

"May I have your name?"

"I forgot to introduce myself," Tang Nianxiao said with a smile, "My name is Tang Nianxiao, this is my younger brother Tang San, and this is my adopted sister Xiao Wu."

"These are Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan. This is my brother's teacher, the master."

"Hu Liena and your sister should be about the same age, and I feel that their soul power should not be much different."

Tang Nianxiao looked at Zhu Zhuqing and said, "You are still young. Grow up well and practice hard. It is not impossible for you to defeat your sister in the future."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded seriously, and Tang Nianxiao's appearance was projected in her eyes.

"That you……"

She lowered her head slightly and asked somewhat embarrassedly, "How long will you stay here? After all, Mom's illness..."

Tang San suddenly spoke up, "Your mother is ill, she won't be away for long."

Everyone looked at him in surprise.

Tang San was standing at the door at this moment, his eyes fixed on the potted plant at the bedroom door.

There was a light layer of powder at the roots of the plant.

"I have found the cause of your mother's poisoning and can quickly detoxify her."

Everyone's eyes were a little complicated.

If they remembered correctly, Zhu Zhuyun was standing in that position just now.

So the little girl's real intention in coming here was not to mock the Second Madam, but to place the residue of the three insects and three flowers?
In fact, as the eldest daughter, how could Zhu Zhuyun not know the news that everyone was coming to the Duke of Netherworld's Mansion?

Or, did she use this as an excuse to mock Zhu Zhuqing because she knew it?
Zhu Zhuqing is still young and doesn't understand these things.

But the beautiful woman's expression became complicated.

Tang Nianxiao sighed, every family has its own problems.

Tang San followed Lan'er to prepare the antidote, and Hu Liena and others followed out of curiosity.

The master felt that as a man, it would not be convenient for him to stay in the second lady's room for a long time, so he followed her.

Leaving Tang Nianxiao, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing here.

Zhu Zhuqing looked at Tang Nianxiao, bit her lip, and finally mustered up the courage to pull his sleeve and said,

"Can you...wait for me?"

"Huh?" Tang Nianxiao was stunned.

"When I grow up and break off the engagement with the Third Prince, I will come to find you after I break off the engagement!" Zhu Zhuqing's eyes were extremely firm.

　Sorry, I overslept on Saturday morning...
