Lu Jiu slowly revealed a long-buried secret—
It turns out that Lu Che's surname is not Lu, but Shi. Her original name is not Lu Che, but Shi Huan.
"Shi Huan..." Lu Che murmured softly this unfamiliar name she heard from Lu Jiu. It was the first time she knew her real name.
Lu Jiu stared at her with gentle and deep eyes: "Yes, Shi Huan, Huan Huan...
When you were brought to the Lu family, you were still in your cradle, soft and small. The first time your elder brother saw you, he was attracted by your bright black eyes.
I still remember you back then, you were white and plump like a cute little princess, smiling at everyone you saw. "
Lu Che's personality when she was a child was very different from when she grew up. When she first came to the Lu family, she was very small and very lively and cheerful.
But not long after that, Lu Che fell seriously ill. Old Lu Jiu took her to see many famous doctors for medical treatment. Finally, they met a miracle doctor who lived in the mountains. He managed to pull Lu Che's life back from the brink of death.
From then on, Lu Che's personality became colder and he wasn't as gesticulating as before, but his pair of dark and bright eyes remained.
Lu Jiu: "Everyone outside thinks that your serious illness was just an accident, but in fact, only my father and I know that it was not. You were poisoned by someone who wanted to kill you. My father took you to find a doctor, but the one he found was not a real miracle doctor, but a witch doctor."
“Witch…” Lu Che showed a look of astonishment.
It was the first time she heard the word "witch master" in real life.
Are there really such people in the world? She always thought that such people only existed in novels or TV dramas.
Lu Jiu nodded heavily: "Yes, witchcraft master... an ancient profession that can cultivate and drive poisonous insects. The reason why you suddenly became critically ill in the Lu family was because of someone's calculation. Someone cultivated a kind of poisonous insect in your body, sucking your blood every day.
And the witch doctor who lives in seclusion in the mountains can cure the poison in your body."
"I... poison..." Lu Che became even more confused. She had never thought that the serious illness she had in her childhood, which she had a vague memory of, was not actually an 'illness' at all.
But it's a kind of Gu... a poison
Lu Che asked: "Brother, why would someone poison me? Also, what does this have to do with whether I am a boy or a girl?"
"It matters a lot!" Lu Jiu clapped his hands in an exaggerated manner: "If you were a girl, you would definitely die if you were poisoned by that kind of Gu. If you were a boy, you could still have a remnant of life. Of course, if the poison is not cured, even if you are a boy and survive, you will lose half of your life."
If she was a girl, she would definitely die, but if she was a boy, she could survive.
Lu Che's eyes sparkled. What this meant was: "The person who cast the curse didn't want me to be a girl?"
"No, they hope so." Lu Jiu shook his head, revealing a solemn expression. "The person who put the poison on you hopes that you are a girl, so that they can use your bones after the poisonous insects have devoured your essence and blood to refine the so-called holy objects."
“Holy object…?” Lu Che was really confused. What did these strange and weird words mean
Lu Jiu said solemnly: "Your real name is Shi Huan, and the surname Shi is the surname of the Qing clan's royal family that has been destroyed."
Qing people…
Lu Che vaguely remembered that he seemed to have heard these two words somewhere.
"Xiao Che, you are the only heir of the Qing clan's royal family. You have the blood of the Qing clan flowing in your body. If it is a boy, there is no problem. If it is a girl, she must be the Qing clan's saint. According to the legend passed down in your clan, only the bones of the saint can be used to refine the so-called Qing clan's sacred objects."
This is also why Lu Che’s gender must be concealed.
Update completed on 1.16, see you tomorrow night~ Yes, Xiao Che's Qing clan is the Qing clan that was exterminated by Zhan Yang in Qing Yun's other book (to be continued)
