When Qian Jiujiu heard Lingling's name, he instantly became interested: "Where did father see Lingling? How is Lingling now? Is she okay?"
No matter what, Lingling has been with her for several years, so she must be worried. Gu Xiong knew that Qian Jiujiu was worried, so he didn't hide it.
"I'm afraid Lingling will never be able to come back to you. Just think of her as being married, and you'll feel better."
Qian Jiujiu was confused: "What do you mean by just treat it as a marriage? Is she safe or not? Is there anything you can't tell me?"
Gu Xiong thought about it and did not hide it: "Lingling left with her fiancé and is now in the Wang family. She will come to the Wan family, that is, the Wan family here, in a while, and will live in the Wan family in the future."
Qian Jiujiu still didn't quite understand. It seemed that she couldn't understand without seeing Lingling: "No, Dad, Lingling is at Wang's house now, right? Then I'll go check it out at Wang's house now."
"stop."
Seeing Qian Jiujiu so excited, Gu Xiong was helpless: "I've already said that she's fine, why are you going? Qian Jiujiu, don't forget that although she is your maid, she is also from Mingyue Island. Do you understand what I mean?"
Qian Jiujiu frowned: "You mean I'm not from Mingyue Island, so you can't tell me what you do? And Lingling is not missing, but was sent out by you to do a mission?"
Thinking of this possibility, Qian Jiujiu suddenly felt sad. She was the owner of Mingyue Island. Why did these people hide it from her? Rabbit sensed that Qian Jiujiu was upset and immediately began to calm down.
"Well, you haven't completely inherited some of the functions of the space yet, so you know some things by walking around. Lingling is not an ordinary maid, and it is her choice not to stay with you."
Qian Jiujiu became angrier and angrier as she listened: "So I'm still the one who was abandoned?"
Rabbit didn't know what to say for a moment. Gu Xiong was speechless: "Forget it, you are not an outsider, so I will tell you. The emperor wants to truly unify the world, and the aristocratic families must be eliminated. Lingdang and her fiancé are going to do this now."
"Also, Lingling's special ability is prayer. The prayer master at the Wan family is already old and can no longer perform such a ceremony, so Lingling must step in."
Wan family's prayer master? Qian Jiujiu understood something instantly and looked at Gu Xiong: "Dad, do you mean that the Wan family has been so successful in sailing for so many years because of the prayer master?"
Gu Xiong nodded: "Yes, I don't really understand the specific situation inside. Everyone has different abilities. Lingling is close to you. Send her here so that the Wan family can be firmly controlled in your hands."
Qian Jiujiu blinked, so she still thought about herself: "Then why is Lingling in the Wang family? What does this have to do with the Wang family?"
Gu Xiong sighed and said, "It's time to tell you that all the surnames of the noble families outside are from Mingyue Island. And in some noble families, Mingyue Island will send out people with special abilities for a fixed number of years to lead these noble families and continue to occupy the position of noble families."
Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao looked at each other. In the past, they only knew that the people of Mingyue Island were powerful and strong, but they didn't know that the power behind Mingyue Island was so great.
Fortunately, these people have no intention of competing for world domination, otherwise, the Mu family would not have had a chance to take over. Mu Yexiao frowned in confusion: "Then Mingyue Island is not sincerely helping the Mu family?"
Gu Xiong was somewhat amused: "Of course, since we have chosen it, Mingyue Island will naturally support it with all its strength. It is also the time to eliminate those disobedient families. You have to know that power moves people's hearts, and when aristocratic families sit on the throne for a long time, they will naturally develop ambitions."
So that's what was happening. Mu Yexiao and Qian Jiujiu were both smart people. They understood what was going on after just a brief reminder. It seemed like they wouldn't be able to see the bell for a while.
"Dad, you and mom are tired from traveling. I've asked someone to prepare a meal for you. You and mom can eat first."
Hearing this, Gu Xiong didn't hesitate and nodded directly: "Okay, then I'll go eat first."
With Gu Xiong and Wan Yin here, there is no need to worry about the two children. Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao discussed it and decided to find the blind woman to find out the situation first.
The blind woman had been living very comfortably in the palace villa during this period. She would think back to her past and her eyes could see some things nearby clearly. She no longer needed help from others in her life like before.
Seeing the prince and princess coming over, the blind woman quickly bowed and said, "I greet the prince and princess."
Qian Jiujiu smiled and said, "Get up, have you been okay these days? I'll come over to check your pulse while I'm free today. Prince, you should take care of your own business. I'll stay and chat with her."
Mu Yexiao thought that the blind woman would feel uncomfortable here, so he stood up and left. The blind woman then relaxed a little: "Thank you for your concern, Princess. I have been living very well during this period."
Qian Jiujiu nodded: "You look pretty good, you look younger. After a while, your eyes will be better and your body will be almost better too!"
The blind woman felt happy when she heard Qian Jiujiu's words: "This is all thanks to the princess's excellent medical skills."
Qian Jiujiu found it funny: "By the way, I still don't know your name? Do you only have one child? I don't think it's appropriate for you at your age."
She always speaks very directly. Although she came to inquire about the news, she still prefers to get to the point. The blind woman was a little surprised. She didn't expect the princess to care about her so much!
I couldn't help but sigh: "Dissatisfied Princess, my name is Mucha, I gave birth to three children, the eldest is a girl, Erbao is a boy, named Erbao, and the rest is Sanya."
Qian Jiujiu frowned, this seemed to make sense, and looked at Mu Xia: "What about your other two children?"
Mu Xia was silent for a while before speaking: "I dare not hide it from the princess. Daya and Erbao disappeared. One day they went out and never came back. I don't know if they were captured by pirates."
When thinking of this possibility, Mucha trembled all over. Qian Jiujiu looked at Mucha and asked, "Where is your husband?"
Speaking of her husband, Mucha remained silent, but after a moment she answered, "Dead."
Qian Jiujiu's mouth twitched: "I'm sorry, I mentioned your sad story. I just wanted to chat with you. You've recovered well, so I'll leave first."
Mu Xia looked at Qian Jiujiu's back as she was about to leave, and sighed softly, "Did the princess receive some news, so she came to ask?"
Qian Jiujiu was stunned. He didn't expect that Mucha was so sensitive. He walked back and sat down next to Mucha: "Yes, because it's impossible for the pirates to pursue Sanya just because of a small handicraft. So I was curious and asked someone to investigate, but they don't know your origins."
Mu Xia took a deep breath and said, "If the princess wants to know, I won't hide it. My name is Mu Xia, and I'm originally from the Mu family in Kyoto."
Qian Jiujiu was a little surprised when she heard the words "Kyoto Mu Family": "Then do you know Mu Laohei?"
If she remembered correctly, Mu Laohei was also from the Mu family in Kyoto, and the eldest son of the Mu family. He also said last time that he had a younger sister but she died.
Mu Xia looked puzzled: "I don't know any Mu Laohei, my eldest brother is Mu Zhengzhong. It's just that when I was fifteen, I was playful and was abducted and left Kyoto. I was sold to Fucheng, and it was in Fucheng that I met my husband. I was dissatisfied with the princess. My husband is a pirate."
Qian Jiujiu's mouth twitched. So this Mucha is still a pirate's wife? Then how did she fall to this state
Mu Xia sighed and continued, "My husband snatched me out of the building. Later, when he took me back to the island, I learned that my husband was the leader of the pirates and the owner of the island."
Qian Jiujiu was even more surprised. This life lesson was really extraordinary. From a kidnapped lady to the wife of a pirate leader, and then from a wife to a villager in a fishing village, it must have been very difficult along the way.
"The princess is a good person, so I don't intend to hide it. My husband is not an ordinary pirate. He was also a son of a noble family. That noble family has treasures on that island, and my husband was ordered by the phoenix to guard those treasures. It was also because his subordinates became greedy that they killed my husband. Fortunately, my husband still has a few loyal subordinates."
"They risked their lives to send us out, but they could only send us to a fishing village. The village chief felt sorry for us, a woman with three children, and took us in. I could only make money by embroidering, and I was able to make a living by making a fire at first."
"It's just that I cried for a while because Daya and Erbao were missing, and I did a lot of embroidery, so I became blind and implicated my Sanya."
Mucha simply recounted his entire life story, and Qian Jiujiu understood it, but she still didn't know what the relationship was between San Ya and the treasure.
After a moment, Mucha spoke again: "When Sanya was born, the mechanism for the treasure was engraved on her back. Only with special potions can the treasure map on her back appear."
When Qian Jiujiu heard this, she understood why these people were so determined to capture San Ya, because San Ya was the key to the treasure, and only by taking her with them could they get the treasure.
"My Lady Princess, Mu Xia begs you to save San Ya."
Qian Jiujiu nodded: "You can rest assured about this. I won't let those pirates take San Ya away."
Mu Xia finally breathed a sigh of relief. She had finally found an opportunity today to tell the princess all this, all for the sake of protecting San Ya.
"Princess, I want to copy the map on Sanya's back and give it to you. Even if the treasure needs to be taken out, it shouldn't be in the hands of those pirates. The pirates were originally very peaceful, but it was all because of those three pirates who changed everything."
