"Miss Mingzhu, Miss Mingzhu... you finally came to pick up this old slave!"

The hoarse and distorted voice hurt Ling Zihan's ears. She tried her best to stay calm and looked at the old woman who was blocked by Rui Yi. She looked haggard, her eyes were blurry, her hair was dirty and messy, her clothes were in tatters, and her face was

There was dirt everywhere on his upper body, and his bloated body looked like an inflated balloon, and his original appearance could not be seen at all.

But one thing she was sure of was that the old woman knew her mother.

"Who is she?" Frowning slightly, Ling Zihan probably guessed something and gently pressed Rui Yi's open arm, gesturing for him to put it down.

As he walked past him, a voice without any emotion floated over, "She is your mother's nanny."

Passing Rui Yi, Ling Zihan seemed not to have heard anything. She walked to the old woman and stood in front of her without looking back. Her calm blood-stained eyes concealed her thoughts as she stared at the old man, and a frightening pressure swept over her.

"I checked, except for the wet nurse, everyone who came with my mother is dead!"

A few years ago, when the wet nurse passed away, she told her all this, and she also swore in front of the wet nurse that she would return to the prime minister's house and thoroughly investigate what happened back then. It was also from that time on that she began to cultivate

He sent out a group of his own forces and made inquiries everywhere. He already knew that all the servants that his mother had left in the capital had died at the hands of the Su family.

If this woman is really her mother's nanny, how did she hide from Su's eyes? Even if she avoided Su's eyes, how did she avoid her?

"Miss Mingzhu... No, you are not!" The old lady's eyes suddenly brightened when she looked at her, as if she suddenly remembered something, she clapped her hands and shouted: "You are the little miss, you are Miss Mingzhu's..." The voice

Suddenly choked with sobs, the old man knelt down straight and hugged Ling Zihan's legs, tears gurgling down his face, "Little miss, I have finally waited for you, little miss! Miss Mingzhu, I have finally lived up to my instructions.

Waiting for it..."

"Old grandma, you get up first." Ling Zihan stretched out her hand to grab the old woman's withered and dirty hand, and took the opportunity to check her veins. Her brows that had just been loosened wrinkled again without leaving a trace. She already understood in her heart that this

The old woman will not survive today.

Who is so cruel that he would use this poison on a helpless old man!

"Zihan, come into the room and talk."

Rui Yi, who was watching with squinted eyes, suddenly glanced at Ling Zihan, closed the door of the thatched cottage, and helped Ling Zihan lift the old man up and walked into the dilapidated thatched cottage.

Ling Zihan looked at the hand on the old man's other arm, and her eyes suddenly trembled, feeling a little incredible. But when she met those evil eyes and saw the slanted curve of the corners of his lips, she lowered her eyes.

, the corners of his mouth also curved.

This man is indeed extraordinary.

This woman is different...

When they reached the inner room, the old woman laughed three times and shouted "Destiny, Destiny". A glimmer of light flashed in her cloudy eyes, and she glanced out the window, indicating that Ling Zihan had ears across the wall.

Ling Zihan blinked, looked at the old lady, and while she was yelling, she lowered her voice and said, "Rui Yi has cleared the people around him, you can rest assured." After saying that, she turned her eyes.

Looking at the man in black clothes, there was a soft light in his blood-stained eyes, as if he was thanking him.

The corners of his slanted mouth curved upward again, and a flash of recognition flashed in his deep eyes. He immediately glanced at the old lady again, and walked outside. When he passed by Ling Zihan, he left a sentence,

"I'm right outside, call me if you need anything."

The steady footsteps disappeared, and Ling Zihan turned to look at the silent old woman, silently.

The dilapidated room was filled with drafts, mixed with the musty smell of haystacks and the sour smell of rotting things. But Ling Zihan didn't frown at all, and still stood demurely beside a three-legged chair, looking at

Holding an old woman.

The old woman's elegance and aloofness made her eyes confused, thinking of the young lady she had brought up.

"You have the demeanor of Miss Pearl!" The old woman wiped away her tears, grinned and let out a trembling laugh, revealing desolation. She tremblingly took out a jade arrow from her arms, and talked with the wet nurse and the second wife

"Seeing this, the young lady should believe the old slave! The old slave is the upbringing nun brought by Miss Mingzhu from her natal family, the Qi family, and is also the young lady's confidant."

Qi family? Ling Zihan thought of the list of confidants left by her wet nurse. The second-ranked one was Qi family, who was skilled in martial arts and was considered one of the great masters in the Western Dynasty.

"Nanny Qi, I know that, but you...how did you escape the purge of the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

"Water scorpion poison." Aunt Qi took a deep breath, with a look of horror on her face, as if she didn't want to recall those past events. "Back then, the young lady died inexplicably, but the prime minister blocked the news, and then ordered the annihilation of the prime minister's house.

Fortunately, someone tipped off the old slave in advance, and the old slave managed to survive. At that time, the old slave drank water scorpion poison, and the second lady mistook it for an epidemic, rolled it up in a mat, and threw it into a mass grave."

"Second Madam?" If it was her, then it wouldn't be surprising that Aunt Qi could survive.

"Yes, the young lady knows the identity of the second lady, right?" Nodding, Grandma Qi gritted her teeth, enduring another wave of pain from the poison, and said hoarsely: "The old slave pretended to be crazy and waited for thirteen

Nian, I’m just waiting for you to return to Beijing. I promised Miss Mingzhu that I would help her keep an eye on the young lady and the young master in peace."

The young master that Nanny Qi is talking about is Ling Zihan's two-year-old brother, Ling Qingbo.

"He went on a study tour, and I haven't seen him either."

Ling Zihan found out that this was what the news said, but she had always wondered why a child who had been studying abroad for many years did not return to the prime minister's house.

"No, it's impossible!"

A look of panic suddenly appeared on Aunt Qi's face, but her color became darker and darker. Ling Zihan had grown up under the influence of the Poison Lord, and of course she knew that this was a sign that the end of the Water Scorpion's poison was approaching.

At this point, it can be said that the medicine and stone are in vain. Even if Ling Zihan has great abilities, she cannot survive. She is not the God of Death.

"Little miss, this old slave should have died a long time ago. I have relied on my faith to support me until now. But now... I see the little miss, and I have no regrets!" Aunt Qi began to pant, and she pinched the sandy ground with her hands like claws, cold.

Han Xuanxuan persisted, "The old slave has been poisoned and can't wait any longer. Young lady, you have to take back... take back the main courtyard and find your mother's dowry and relics. Those things were not buried with her, but were...

Su Shi swallowed it. There is what you want there! Also, there is the young master, he is an idiot and will not..."

Before Nanny Qi could finish her words, dirty blood had already spurted out of her mouth, and black pus and blood began to overflow from the corners of her eyes and nostrils, as if she had become corrupted.

The water scorpion's poison is more timely than the god of death. Once the poison is released, no one can stop it.

"Mother Qi!" Ling Zihan whispered, her red eyes trembling, and her expression was excited, but she quickly closed her eyes and turned away, forcing herself to say in as calm a voice as possible, "I will take care of my brother's affairs.

When dealing with it, whether life or death, we must let them give an explanation! And my mother’s share!”

"Okay, good boy, pfft -" Another mouthful of dirty blood spurted out, and Nanny Qi stretched out her hand towards the sky, her pupils that were beginning to dilate suddenly brightened, she laughed and let out a mournful scream, "Pearl - destiny!"

After the voice settled, the old mama slowly closed her eyes, her raised arms fell heavily to the ground, and left without regrets...
