Lies are lies. No matter how well you know them, you have to recite them in order. If the order is messed up, problems are likely to arise.

The abbot was about to sweat in anxiety, but Yan Ruyu said slowly, "Don't worry, abbot. Just tell us slowly about what happened. The prince and I will consider what others say."

Yan Ruyu's words were like a magic needle that calmed the abbot's racing heart and restored order.

He cleared his throat and said, "Then I will start from the beginning."

"I know the Yan family, but I have only heard about it and have never seen it with my own eyes."

Huo Changhe's eyes were calm, but if there was an undercurrent beneath the calm, it could take the abbot's life at any time.

The abbot suppressed his fear and looked at him, "I feel guilty towards the princess for this matter, because the person who did this was my senior brother."

"My senior brother is a few years older than me and we look similar. Some people even say we are brothers. But I know that my mother only has me as her only child and she died after giving birth to me. How could I be so lucky to have a brother?"

"But my senior brother treated me like a real brother. He was smarter than me and learned things faster. One day he said he wanted to go out and travel to gain more knowledge. I was reluctant to let him go, but he said he would come back sooner or later."

The abbot sighed, "This morning and night passed by so quickly. When he came back, he was in very poor health. I thought he had traveled a long way and had to sleep in the open air. I wanted to take good care of him, but I didn't expect that he was suffering from a mental illness."

"He said," the abbot glanced at Yan Ruyu, "he once saw a hidden family that changed the fate of a little girl. I asked him if he changed her for the worse, otherwise why would he blame himself so much, he shook his head and said he didn't know."

"He only said that he had calculated that the child would have a rough life, and he wanted to save her and change her fate, and lied that he wanted to replace her with a new girl. But for some reason, something happened to the girl's family, and the girl's whereabouts were unknown. He tracked her down for a long time, but only found some clues, but never found any trace of her."

"When my senior brother was dying, he was still thinking about this, so I said that I would complete this for him, find the girl, and do my best to make her live a stable life. That's when my senior brother passed away."

"What I said was not just to comfort my senior brother. I had to do what I promised, so I started looking for the girl, until..."

The abbot looked at Yan Ruyu and said, "Find the princess from your childhood."

Yan Ruyu thought that the abbot did have a talent for storytelling. She had originally thought that Yinding and the others loved listening to the abbot's storytelling and telling stories purely because he talked about rare modern events. But after listening today, she realized that was definitely not the case.

Yan Ruyu remembered that the abbot was from Tianjin, and he was indeed blessed with advantages in this respect.

This story is told perfectly, so it should pass.

"Your Majesty..."

She was about to speak and express her gratitude a few more words, and the matter came to an end.

Unexpectedly, Huo Changhe asked, "When did the abbot's brother go to the Yan family? When did he pass away?"

Abbot: "..."

How would I know? I don't even know what dynasty or country it is.

Yan Ruyu did not expect that Huo Changhe would ask so many details. Lou Tingyu did mention it, but she did not think it was necessary, so she did not tell the abbot.

What to do now?

If I can't explain it and vaguely say that I forgot something, Huo Changhe may not ask further, but he will never believe it completely. This matter will not be resolved today.

Yan Ruyu was also a little caught off guard.

At this moment, laughter was heard in the yard.

The eldest lady is here.

Yan Ruyu breathed a sigh of relief. The savior came just in time.

Yan Ruyu gave Huo Changhe a look, telling him not to ask any more questions for the time being, as she didn't want the first lady to know.

Huo Changhe nodded, stood up and went out to greet the eldest lady.

The abbot was about to breathe a sigh of relief when Huo Changhe said, "Abbot, please go to that room and meditate for a while. I will ask again after my mother leaves."

have to.

The abbot was helpless, and tried to take advantage of the time when Yan Ruyu was out to secretly ask him, but failed.

I had no choice but to get up and go into the next room.

Yan Ruyu quickly made a phone call gesture, and the abbot understood instantly.

Arriving at another room, the abbot immediately became aware of the space and waited anxiously.

Huo Changhe had gone out to greet the eldest lady. Yan Ruyu came a little behind and poured tea for the eldest lady and put some fruit on the table.

As soon as he turned around, his consciousness immediately entered the space and rushed to the amethyst stone to dial the number to find the abbot.

The abbot was waiting in the space and answered the call immediately.

After the call was connected, Yan Ruyu immediately hung up, carried a few red fruits out of the room, put them on the fruit plate, and then turned around to go out to meet the lady.

This is busy.

The eldest lady had already reached the steps, and Yan Ruyu quickly walked over to support her.

"Yu'er, I heard that you are going to the temple tomorrow?"

This matter was no secret, Yan Ruyu nodded: "Yes, did mother give any instructions?"

"Are we going to Shenyuan Temple?"

"Exactly."

The eldest lady entered the room and whispered to her, "There is a Deer Drinking Stream in the back mountain. There is a Deer Fairy in the cave. It is said that if you drink the water from that stream and then make a wish in front of the Deer Fairy, it will be very effective, especially..."

"Marriage and seeking children."

Yan Ruyu was surprised: "How did mother know?"

The eldest lady had never been there. Since she came here, she had rarely left the city, let alone been to Shenyuan Temple.

The eldest lady smiled and said, "Although I don't go out, there are many visitors every day. Since I went to the Wu family last time... many people have come to visit me in the mansion. I am also happy to see the hustle and bustle. Anyway, I have nothing to do. If I think someone is not good, I don't need to pay attention. I just treat it as listening to gossip and stories."

"So what else does mother know about this temple? Tell me."

Yan Ruyu thought to herself that the power of gossip was indeed stronger. Huo Zhongmao had gone there but was unable to find out the news.

The eldest lady glanced at Huo Changhe and said, "Do you still remember the Duke of Dingguo?"

Huo Changhe thought for a moment and said, "Is it the Duke of Dingguo who accompanied the previous emperor in his military campaigns and made military achievements during the reign of the previous emperor?"

"Yes, it was him. Otherwise, how could he be granted the title of Duke Dingguo? Unfortunately, people were greedy and wanted more power when his son came to power. This is why he ruined his family."

"I heard about Lady Lu Xian from Duke Dingguo's granddaughter-in-law. His granddaughter-in-law is now a mother-in-law."

"Her maiden name is Zhao, and she married the grandson of Duke Dingguo as his second wife. The previous wife had a daughter, and they divorced a while ago. When she returned home, she would throw things and smash dishes from time to time. She was also very worried."

"I just wanted to find another family to marry my daughter off, firstly for her marriage, and secondly for myself to live a stable life."

"But how can it be that easy to find a divorced daughter? I have tried several times but it didn't work. Instead, the conflict between mother and daughter has become even worse. Her stepdaughter said she couldn't tolerate it and she argued with her several times."

"After a few days of headaches, it suddenly became quiet. After asking, I found out that this stepdaughter had visited the Deer Fairy and was sure that she would have a good marriage."

Yan Ruyu's heart moved.

Deer Fairy Goddess?

She had to take a good look.
