Chapter 56 The Dust Settles
Wan Qianqian, who exuded the glory of motherhood, hugged the child tightly, wary of Lan Shi trying to snatch the child away.

"Hokuriku, give me the child." Lan Shi ordered coldly.

Beilu looked at Jiang Sushang silently. He always obeyed Jiang Sushang's orders.

Jiang Sushang couldn't believe it, this was a newborn baby!

"Sister Lan Shi, are you mistaken? This is a living child!"

"I want the soul-obsessing Gu to disappear completely, otherwise, the tragedy of my mother and my mother-in-law will happen again."

Jiang Sushang asked: "What are you going to do?"

"She's like an old clan leader, opening her skull to extract the worms." The elder said quickly: "Surround her."

Wan Qianqian shouted loudly: "You... you may also be the father of my child! If you do this... you will die badly."

"You said that if I give birth to a child, it will be good to me for the rest of my life."

"And you said that the child in my belly must be yours."

"When you two are talking sweet words, you both want to be the father of the child."

"Yes, now that we have a true saint, you are supporting the saint. Lan Shi, what good do you think you will do? Your mother's fate will be yours."

The others surrounded Wan Qianqian, who had just given birth, and would snatch the child away just after giving an order.

"Sister Lan Shi, what are you going to do?" Jiang Sushang didn't believe that Lan Shi was a murderous executioner.

"You and Xie Qingshu will play another song and you will know whether it is in the child's body." Lan Shi continued: "If it is, you will understand me, right?"

Xie Qingshu reluctantly played a song with Jiang Suchang, but there was no reaction on the child's delicate skin.

When the song was about to end, his heart began to fluctuate, like insects swimming rapidly inside.

Wan Qianqian knelt down and begged: "Holy girl, I was wrong, don't kill my child, he has just come to this world!"

"He is just a child and will not cause harm to others."

"Miss, continue playing." Lan Shi held the silver needle in his hand, and the others held Wan Qianqian tightly.

Jiang Sushang's newly bandaged wound began to ooze blood again. She endured the pain and continued to pluck the strings.

Lan Shi locked the Gu insect with a needle, picked it up with a delicate knife, and made a small cut on the child's little arm.

Wan Qianqian fainted instantly when she saw this scene.

Lan Shi pinched the Gu worm's small tail and threw it into the special potion. Seeing it turned into a ball of black ink, Lan Shi was completely relieved.

The child on the table was crying loudly. Lan Shi gave him medicine, picked him up, and coaxed the child unfamiliarly.

"Be good, don't be afraid, be good, kiss me, auntie." Lan Shi gently patted the child's back, held him in his arms and coaxed him.

"My dear, look at the birthmark on your heart, it's so beautiful! When my aunt comes to find you in the future, she can look for you based on the birthmark."

Guessing that the child was hungry, Lan Shi inserted a silver needle into Wan Qianqian's body. Wan Qianqian woke up and saw that her son was fine, and fainted from excitement.

Jiang Sushang also breathed a sigh of relief. Her sister Lan Shi was a beauty with a Bodhisattva heart, and she would never do anything that would endanger her life.

When everything about Qi Lan was settled, Lan Shi established a tomb for Lian Moxian, Meixi and Jinniang.

Zhao Guannan buried Liu Zhengyi, who died from a lightning strike, and Honghua, who committed suicide, in a geomantic treasure land close to the mountains and facing the water.Xie Qingshu took out two pieces of paper and asked Zhao Guannan to choose.

Zhao Guannan said that as long as she and Jiang Sushang worked together to control Jinniang, he would promise her anything.

Xie Qingshu also understood that Zhao Guannan was not sincere. She deliberately made two demands. She hoped that Zhao Guannan would give up and choose a simple request.

It is naturally easier to break off the engagement with the King of Huainan or marry her.

Zhao Guannan is a gentleman, and Xie Qingshu believes that even if she is forced to make a promise, she will fulfill it as promised.

Zhao Guannan couldn't help but smile with relief when he saw the note breaking off his engagement with King Huainan. He had asked Hai Dongqing to send a message back earlier, asking his mother to break off the engagement for him.

Secondly, he also wrote to Bachelor Xie and asked him to take Xie Qingshu back.

He did not want to go with Xie Qingshu for the rest of the journey. Although she did not kill Honghua herself, she was the murderer who directly caused Honghua's death.

If Xie Qingshu hadn't been the granddaughter of his teacher, he wouldn't have just destroyed her voice.

"Yeah..." Xie Qingshu wanted to ask Zhao Guannan why?

But she could only make a little babbling sound in her throat.

"I will let you break off your engagement with King Huainan without affecting your reputation."

This was a marriage granted by the Empress herself. How could a royal marriage be canceled so easily?
Would he rather choose the impossible than marry her?Is she so like a snake and scorpion that he can't avoid her?

She obviously does it for his own good!

But he blames himself!
Xie Qingshu gave up the opportunity to become an official in the court, gave up the Xie family's stable life, and traveled thousands of miles just to come here for him.

"Actually, the King of Huainan is not as forced to marry you as you think. Although your parents ordered a matchmaker, you can send him a letter and he will let you go. You don't need to give up at the cost of pretending to die. So much. I'm not worth it." Zhao Guannan put the note into the fire, and Juanxiu Xiaokai instantly turned into ashes.

"Yeah..."

You deserve it!

Xie Qingshu was so excited that she had countless things to say to him.

Her parents were seemingly inseparable from each other. For the sake of Xie's family's innocence, her father did not connect the outer room to the mansion. He stayed in the outer room for twelve and eleven months of the year.Obviously she is the only eldest daughter of her parents. She tried to repair the rift between her parents, but found out that she was not the eldest daughter. Her father already had a concubine.

As for the mother, the person she loved was dead. She missed him day and night and burned countless letters to him.

She asked her grandmother why she didn't let her parents reconcile.The two became enemies, which was unfortunate.

She hoped that her parents would love each other like her grandparents, but her grandmother told her: "There are too many things in this world that we can't help ourselves. Your mother's family has made a marriage agreement with our Xie family. If you violate the marriage contract, it will not be good for both families."

She didn't believe it, but when the empress granted marriage to the prince, she believed in fate.

After my mother died of illness, my father was riding home, slipped in the snow, and died.How ironic that two people who did not love each other died on the same day.

The aunt wanted to bring the two children into the house, but the grandmother was relieved. After all, she was the only daughter in the Xie family, and the family could not continue without a man.

It was she who asked her blood brother to go to the lake. She sacrificed her life with that man. Fortunately, her mother protected her. He died and she lived.

After all, her grandfather did not let an outside wife enter the house. After all, without a boy, a daughter raised by an outside wife would not be as good as her.

What's more, Xie Qingshu told her grandparents that it was her brother who harmed her!
In order not to marry the King of Huainan, she deliberately changed her grandmother's medicine so that she could reach bliss early. After three years of filial piety, her wedding to the King of Huainan had to be postponed.
