True Heiress Cuts Ties, The Marquis Household Bitterly Regrets-Chapter 288 - 287: Is Zhaozhao a Demoness?

"Jiu, my head hurts!"

Yu Nianzhao got up, rubbing her temples, feeling a bit upset, "I can now be sure that this dream is my past life."

The love that couldn’t be fulfilled between a princess and a monk, such an unbearable ending.

[Master, this means that during this hundred-year time, the master has reincarnated again, this is the second time?]

[There’s definitely something fishy going on here.]

[Originally descended to complete a task, how could such an incident occur?]

[If the Master hasn’t awakened, we would also be in deep slumber, unable to obtain more information.]

Yu Nianzhao lightly bit her red lips, contemplated for a moment, and said, "When I descended, I crossed the Naihe Bridge and drank the Meng Po Soup. The formalities that must be done were definitely done, yet I didn’t awaken in my past life? Saying there’s nothing wrong with this, I don’t believe it. I always feel... this thing is related to Xin Kui, maybe even to old King Yan."

[Old King Yan? Why would he do such a thing?]

[Isn’t old King Yan on the Master’s side?]

"I don’t know, I have to return to the underworld to find old King Yan and ask him clearly."

Yu Nianzhao had far too many questions, she desperately wanted to find answers.

Moreover, although this dream has become much more complete, her instincts tell Yu Nianzhao that her memories are still not fully acquired.

The news of Duke Luu’s sudden passing spread throughout the Great Chao Country. The Empress Dowager, who had been confined, was excessively saddened, she sneaked out while the guards weren’t watching. As the ministers left court, she screamed wildly like a madwoman.

"Duke Luu didn’t die of illness, he was murdered. Princess Consort Su is simply a witch, she killed Duke Luu! Prince Su carried the Taiyin Evil, how could such a poisonous thing be cured so quickly? Clearly, the witch transferred the Taiyin Evil to other people in the Great Chao Country, they want to destroy the whole Great Chao! In this world, there is no one who can come back to life. She was dead for half a month, yet she came back alive. Don’t you all think there’s a problem?"

"She’s the only person who came out alive from Tomb Guard City, she must have brought something dirty back from there. You are trusting a witch. You want to destroy the Great Chao Country!"

The Empress Dowager was crying and laughing, her actions indeed appeared crazy.

Yet what she said also deeply resonated with people.

Even if Emperor Anqing promptly restrained the Empress Dowager, rumors still quickly spread.

"Zhaozhao, don’t go out for now, stay and rest within the mansion."

Yu Nianzhao was about to go out but was stopped by Xie Jiuxiao.

"Why? I want to go to King Yan Temple."

Yu Nianzhao looked bewildered, still walked towards the door.

Xie Jiuxiao followed her, furrowing his brow, saying, "Shall I accompany you?"

"I’m not a child, need someone to accompany me to go out?"

Yu Nianzhao blinked her beautiful eyes, curiously asked, "Are you not busy today?"

"These days aren’t as busy, I can accompany you."

Xie Jiuxiao said with a light smile, instructing someone to prepare the carriage.

"Witch, look, the witch is coming out!"

Many people gathered at the entrance. The moment they saw Yu Nianzhao, they pointed fingers at her, even someone threw rotten vegetables.

Mu Hongxuan swung his sword, slicing the vegetables into two, falling to the ground.

Xie Jiuxiao’s gaze turned cold, angrily shouted, "Are you tired of living?"

"We... we’re not afraid! We want to drive the witch away, otherwise, who knows if the next one to die will be us?"

Though the commoners who threw vegetables were very scared, they still stubbornly spoke.

"Ever since Yu Nianzhao returned from Tomb Guard City, bad things have constantly occurred in Shangjing. What they say is right, these matters can’t be separated from Yu Nianzhao."

"She’s the witch, otherwise, how could someone dead for half a month come back alive?"

"Reviving from death, this undoubtedly is a demon!"

A group of people looked at Yu Nianzhao with very subtle glances, if not for Xie Jiuxiao being there, they might have truly rushed forward to deal with Yu Nianzhao.

Yu Nianzhao furrowed her brows, calculated with her fingers, her gaze gradually turned cold, "A bunch of fools!"

"Do you have evidence that I am a witch?" 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

She sneered lightly and asked back.

"No... No!"

"They said it!"

A group of people looked at each other, stubbornly replied.

"Who are they?"

"It’s just them, others in Shangjing are all spreading it."

"Hahaha, and I say you’re the witch, possessed by evil spirits."

Yu Nianzhao picked up a talisman and sent it flying. The one who threw vegetables was instantly frightened, feeling physically uncomfortable.

"What proof do you have that you’re not a witch then?" someone retorted.

"I don’t need to prove it, you say I’m a witch without evidence, so why should I prove myself?"

Yu Nianzhao pulled at the corners of her lips, disdainfully said, "I don’t care about your opinions one bit, whatever you wish to say, what does it have to do with me? I don’t rely on you to live."

Yu Nianzhao’s carefree demeanor made Xie Jiuxiao’s tightly knitted brows relax significantly.

"You, you shameless!"

Slam!

The one who cursed was slapped out of nowhere, he held his cheek in a daze, looking around, not knowing who had hit him.

"Good job, Wei Zhao!"

Liuzhu stood under the eaves, happily clapping for Wei Zhao.

Wei Zhao, who had long been indignant, immediately swung another slap.

"Aaaah! There’s a ghost, there’s a ghost!"

In broad daylight, being inexplicably slapped twice, that person was scared to death, immediately ran away.

"Do you have any more opinions?"

Yu Nianzhao looked around, gazed at the foolish commoners, asked with a smile that wasn’t a smile.

"Witch, she’s really a witch, run quickly."

Clearly a beautiful and sunny smile, yet they were scared and scattered.

Yu Nianzhao turned and said to Xie Jiuxiao, "So this is why you did not let me go out, Xie Jiuxiao, you underestimate me too much. Rumors and gossips to me are like ant bites, utterly insignificant, you don’t need to worry."

Xie Jiuxiao exhaled deeply, the worry in his eyes was indeed lessened, he said solemnly, "It’s news released by the Empress Dowager, I’ve already sent people to investigate."

"Empress Dowager?"

Yu Nianzhao’s gaze flashed coldly, she laughed coldly, "Hmm, continue to investigate, maybe soon you’ll find out who’s hiding behind all this."

"You’re talking about Chu Wenjun?"

"Pretty much."

Yet despite that, the news that Yu Nianzhao is a witch who will destroy the Great Chao Country continued to spread more fiercely.

A few days later, especially when Shangjing suddenly experienced an ’epidemic’.

Most of those affected were children, simultaneously developing high fevers. The doctors in Shangjing were overwhelmed, but the fever-reducing medicines were ineffective.

Desperate parents with their tortured children sat at the entrance of Prince Su Mansion, demanding Yu Nianzhao undergo a ’purification’, and for the Daoist to subdue her!
