The daughter of a general is reborn to save the whole family of the marquis

Chapter 346: Resurrecting a Soul from a Borrowed Corpse

"You are so bold that you dare to pretend to be the Crown Princess!" Wangshan shouted angrily, drew his sword, and stabbed at the girl.

The girl immediately hid beside Xie Lin, but Wangshan's sword was so fast and fierce that it still pierced her arm. She fell to the ground, and Wangshan's sword was pressed to her forehead.

Wang Shan said, "The Crown Princess is skilled in archery and horse riding, and her skills are extremely good. How can you compare with her? Tell me, why did you pretend to be the Crown Princess?"

The girl wiped the tears from her face and said confidently, "It's true that I was skilled in archery and horse riding in the past. But now I have just changed into a delicate body, and this body has been through a long journey and countless hardships to get here. It is already extremely weak, and of course I am no match for you."

"You still want to pretend to be the Crown Princess?!" Wangshan was dumbfounded. He didn't expect her to be so bold.

"Do you believe that I will really kill you with one sword? Is the girl who was thrown out of the sedan chair by Zhou Yuchi last night your sister? You lied to me, didn't you? Your goal is to get close to our Crown Prince!"

The girl covered her arm and stood up stubbornly. Even though Wangshan's sword was against her forehead, she was not afraid at all.

She turned to face Xie Lin.

"The girl who was thrown out of the sedan chair by Zhou Yuchi last night is named Tong Siru. She is seventeen years old and has already been engaged. The body I am occupying now is her younger sister, named Tong Xiling.

"Their father is Tong Zhang, an eighth-rank official. He is of low rank and cannot attend court, so you have never met him.

“Half a month ago, Tong Xiling and Tong Siru went to the temple to burn incense, but were kidnapped by Zhou Yuchi’s men. It was Tong Siru who tried every possible way and used every possible means to help Tong Xiling escape from Zhou Yuchi’s hands.

"But Tong Xiling was seriously injured. He died of exhaustion and excessive blood loss during the escape. I died in the cold river, but my soul left my body and possessed Tong Xiling. That's how I was able to see you."

After saying that, Tong Xiling looked at Xie Lin with deep affection. She was very beautiful, otherwise she would not have been captured by Zhou Yuchi.

Such a pair of eyes full of water, looking at Xie Lin, almost made Xie Lin feel dazed.

Wang Shan said: "How could such a ridiculous thing happen in the world? Without anyone's help, you just...resurrected by borrowing a corpse?"

Wangshan was both nervous and suspicious. He was nervous that the person in front of him was really Chu Heyi, and he had accidentally offended the Crown Princess.

At the same time, I also doubt whether such a ridiculous thing as reincarnation can really be done without the help of a master?

Tong Xiling said: "I also find it absurd. When I woke up, I couldn't believe it was true. I thought I was having a nightmare... But the cold river water, the river water that drowned my head, the river water that suffocated me, is the most terrifying nightmare. When I think about it this way, I feel that reincarnation is not such a terrible thing!"

She turned to Xie Lin and said, "Especially since I can come back to you, I think that this reincarnation is a gift from God."

She looked at Xie Lin with tears in her eyes and deep affection, "Xie Lin, I really regret breaking up with you. After I left the palace, Baihua persuaded me. I recalled your character and the path we have walked. I am sure that you would never do such a thing to Concubine Zhen. You said at the time that someone framed you, and I should have believed you."

“……” Wangshan was stunned. The person in front of him looked nothing like Chu Heyi.

But if it wasn't Chu Heyi's soul living in this body, how could she know so many things?

Wang Shan asked again: "Since you are the Crown Princess, why do you have Tong Xiling's memories?"

Tong Xiling: "I don't know why, I not only took over her body, but also got her memory."

Wangshan said nothing more.

As for Xie Lin, his sword-like brows were slightly furrowed the whole time. He only glanced at Tong Xiling occasionally and never said a word from beginning to end.

Seeing him so indifferent, Tong Xiling's tears fell again, "Xie Lin, don't you believe me?"

Xie Lin pursed his lips slightly: "This is indeed hard to believe."

Tong Xiling took a deep breath, wiped the tears from her face resolutely, and pretended to be strong and said: "I will take you to find my body. My body has been sinking in the river. The bottom of the water is very cold. You can not believe me, but please go and fish my body out, okay?"

As she spoke, she began to cry again, her eyes expressing endless sadness. She looked at Xie Lin eagerly, expecting him to nod.

Xie Lin said: "Okay, let Master Xue go with you."

Tong Xiling was surprised and seemed to be shocked: "Aren't you going there in person? That is my original body, my Chu Heyi's body."

Xie Lin's pupils fluttered.

After a long silence, he suddenly changed the subject: "I heard that Zhou Yuchi has captured many girls. How do you determine that the girl who was thrown out of the sedan last night was Miss Tong?"

Tong Xiling said: "Tong Siru is the most beautiful among those girls. Zhou Yuchi once said that absolutely beautiful women have privileges. I think if he wants to choose a girl to keep by his side, that person must be Tong Siru."

The girl had been trampled beyond recognition, and even if her biological parents were asked to identify her, they might not be able to do so.

Thinking of this, Xie Lin asked her: "What evidence do you have to prove her identity?"

Tong Xiling: "She had a birthmark on the sole of her foot. I wonder if it's still there?"

Xie Lin immediately asked Wang Shan to send someone to check. Wang Shan came back soon and nodded to him: "We did find a birthmark the size of a fingernail on the sole of the foot. The color is very dark."

Xie Lin closed his eyes slightly and said, "Send her back to the Tong family. Give her the condolences and rewards she deserves. Don't be short of them."

After he finished speaking, he realized that Tong Xiling was still looking at him with a burning gaze. Once upon a time, Chu Heyi also looked at him so unscrupulously.

Xie Lin's hands hidden in his sleeves suddenly clenched into fists. He said, "Wangshan, arrange for some people. We will follow Miss Tong to the riverside to salvage the body."

Tong Xiling's tears welled up: "Xie Lin, as long as you help me fish out the body, it will be a great favor to me. We have a long time to go together, and sooner or later you will believe that I am Chu Heyi."

Xie Lin just looked at her, without any emotion in his eyes.

That night, Xie Lin and everyone else came to the riverside. The river was calm in September, and emitted bursts of cold air at night.

Tong Xiling stood by the river and pointed ahead: "This is the place. I fell off the cliff and sank to the bottom of the water. My body should have been washed away by the current, but there was a huge tree growing horizontally on the shore. Did you see it? It grew horizontally to the bottom of the water and blocked my body. As long as we send people down to look for it, we will find it."
