The Princess of the Substitute Bride Strikes Back

In the dim secret room, Lord Zuo stared at Fu Yunxi and slowly said, "Because of your eyes, they show me that you are the Saint, the tenth generation Saint, and your soul has returned. This is the sacred object of Southern Border, and I need to hand it over to you."

Lord Zuo solemnly turned the mechanism on the wall, and saw a palm-sized brocade box firmly embedded in the stone wall.

Fu Yunxi opened the brocade box with curiosity and expectation. When she saw the jade ring inside, she couldn't help but exclaimed: "Is this a ring?"

The jade ring was warm and elegant, and the key was the silver four-leaf clover inlaid in the jade, which flickered with mysterious light under the swaying candlelight. The pattern of this four-leaf clover was extremely similar to the one originally on her finger.

The ring sparkled in the candlelight, lively and dazzling, emitting a bright light like a gem.

The voice of Lord Zuo sounded again: "This is the Saint's ring. It has been passed down for more than a thousand years. Now it is natural for me to give it to you. Wear it!"

Fu Yunxi put on the ring as she was told. At that moment, she was pleasantly surprised to find that the pattern on the ring overlapped perfectly with the original four-leaf clover pattern on her finger. From then on, she no longer had any doubts in her heart and was sure that she was the noble saint.

No matter how ups and downs her life was, no matter who she was in her previous life, in this life, she is a saint with a heavy responsibility.

Fu Yunxi's eyes were firm and bright. She looked at Lord Zuo and said sincerely, "Thank you, Grandfather. I will not let you down."

She knew very well that this ring not only symbolized a supreme status, but also meant a heavy responsibility. From now on, she had to keep the safety of the people in southern Xinjiang in mind at all times and not slack off in the slightest.

The Lord of Zuojiang looked at Fu Yunxi lovingly and said comfortingly, "Xi'er, don't put too much pressure on yourself. With the prophecy of the previous generation of saints, our lives are relatively peaceful, and the people of Zuojiang are now living a carefree life."

"As for Youjiang, without Sikong Xingyao's calamity, it is naturally no longer disturbed by war, and is now gradually recovering. Our people often go to the people to diagnose and treat them and solve their problems."

He sighed softly and continued, "No matter what kind of hatred there is with the Sikong family, the people are always innocent. Besides, I know Sikong Boyu well. Although he seems to be as ruthless as his father Sikong Xingyao, his temperament is actually very different from his father's."

"His mother unfortunately died in Sikong Xingyao's bloody pursuit of power, so deep down in his heart he also desperately desires peace. Speaking of which, he is also a pitiful person. He was thrown into a pile of poisonous insects by his father since he was a child. His body is full of poisons. Sometimes he can't control his emotions and becomes extremely bloodthirsty."

Lord Zuo recalled the past with a helpless look on his face: "In fact, before Sikong Xingyao set his sights on you, we tried to treat him. The child's physical condition was in tatters, and it was a miracle that he survived until now. But then something happened, and we can no longer help him heal. Now, life and death are determined by fate, and it all depends on his own luck."

At this point, Lord Zuo Jiang couldn't help but sigh repeatedly. Their Baili family has always advocated peace and followed the prophecy of the saint, hoping to coexist peacefully with Youjiang, at least to prevent innocent people from being affected by the war. Lord Zuo Jiang thought to himself that if there was no Sikong Xingyao, the southern border might have united long ago and shared a peaceful and prosperous era.

"So that's how it is. This Sikong Boyu gives people a really weird feeling. If you say he's bad, he's not bad enough to be extremely vicious. If you say he's good, he's definitely not a good person either. In short, he makes people feel extremely uncomfortable."

"My husband Mu Yibai's father and elder brother were originally going to be executed by the emperor of the Great Zhao Kingdom. It was Sikong Boyu who sent people to rescue them, but he made them do hard labor. When we went to rescue them a few days ago, Sikong Boyu asked for 100,000 kilograms of food, but he distributed it all to the people. Compared with his evil father, Sikong Boyu may be slightly better." Fu Yunxi talked incessantly.

It would be a good thing if Sikong Boyu could do more practical things for the people in his limited life. You know, Sikong Xingyao caused her family to be broken up. Although he has been killed by General Mu, she still can't let it go in her heart, especially now, she truly feels that she is a person of this world, and Mu Feng and Baili Zixia are her biological parents.

"Well! Let's put aside these matters of the Sikong family for now and tell your grandfather about your husband."

At this moment, Lord Zuo's expression changed drastically. He was no longer as serious as before, but became extremely amiable, looking like he was chatting casually with his granddaughter.

"You have seen it all! It is General Mu's son Mu Yibai! He was also a general. Although the Mu family is no longer as glorious as it once was, it is precisely because of this that we can live a comfortable and unfettered life."

Fu Yunxi said hurriedly. She wanted to say a few good words for Mu Yibai. She was very worried that her grandfather would deliberately test Mu Yibai like the people from her mother's family she had seen in TV dramas before.

After all, they are married now, and she doesn't want Mu Yibai to suffer any grievances here.

"Look at your happy expression, I know he must be very good to you, then we can rest assured, the emperor of the Great Zhao Kingdom is really short-sighted, you can live here from now on! Life here will definitely be more comfortable and free, no one will restrict you!"

Lord Zuo Jiang could clearly see from You Ruoshan's eyes her deep love for Mu Yibai, which was exactly the same as what he saw in Zixia's eyes. This moved him. Although he had not accompanied Xier through her childhood, he was relieved to see that she could now find her beloved.

"Grandfather, can we talk about this later? We live in Lianjiang County, and his family is waiting for us there! So this time we can only stay for a while before we have to go back."

"But we will definitely be able to come back and live here in the future! This is my home too!" You Ruoshan understood her grandfather's thoughts very well. She had just reunited with her family and naturally wanted to spend more time with them.

However, the people of the Mu family were still looking forward to Mu Aiguo and Mu Yitian returning, and she had many shops in Lianjiang County to take care of, so it would definitely not be possible for her to stay suddenly.

She thought that once everything in Lianjiang County was settled, she and Mu Yibai would be able to live here permanently for a while. After all, this place was indeed very leisurely and comfortable.

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say! I'll take you to your mother's room now. After she got married, we've kept that courtyard and never changed it."

Lord Zuo Jiang did not force it, as he knew very well that children and grandchildren would have their own blessings.

Xier is aware of the responsibilities he shoulders. He doesn't want her to be too tired. He just hopes to seize the time and spend more time with his granddaughter to make up for the lack of companionship and care over the years.
