Lin Zainan saw that the beads were grayish-brown in color and had no special smell. They looked no different from the two-cent coins on the street to coax children.
"Where did you get that?"
Lin Zainan didn't see anything special about the bead at a glance, so he asked.
"I got it from His Royal Highness King Yu." Yun Ruoyan replied, although she would not take the initiative to tell Lin Zainan about herself, but when Lin Zainan asked, she didn't want to deceive if it was not necessary.
"His Royal Highness King Yu!" Lin Zainan looked at Yun Ruoyan in surprise.
"Is that the legendary God of Killing, His Royal Highness King Yu?" Lin Qingxue seemed very excited. When she was a child, Lin Bo loved to tell her the story of King Yu, the God of Killing.
The fighting and bloodshed on those battlefields not only did not make Lin Qingxue feel afraid, but on the contrary aroused the fearless blood in her heart.
"There is no second King Yu who kills God in the entire Shenyuan Continent." Contrary to Lin Qingxue's excitement, Lin Qingchen's tone and demeanor showed his dislike for King Yu, and even some disgust .
Lin Qingchen learned medical skills from Lin Zainan's side since he was a child, and often bandaged the wounds of the injured. He was an old doctor who was used to seeing blood. But because of this, Lin Qingchen hated everything and people related to blood death even more.
"When I went to Liu's house to visit Miss Liu a few days ago, I heard from her that His Royal Highness King Yu also went to the flower viewing banquet."
Lin Qingxue said: "I also heard about His Royal Highness King Yu and Sister Ruoyan, hehe, I always wanted to ask Sister Ruoyan, but...hehe."
Lin Qingxue glanced at Lin Qingchen, and she could hear Lin Qingchen's displeasure, but she didn't care.
Lin Qingxue was too young to be qualified for a flower feast, but Lin Qingchen had received an invitation, but she had never been interested in such banquets.
She felt that it would be better to stay in her small bamboo garden to study spirit grass and magical beasts if she had that time to accompany a group of people to put on a show. So, she claimed that the illness did not go away.
Lin Qingxue looked at Yun Ruoyan, her fiery eyes filled with gossip.
When she first got the news, she hurriedly told Lin Qingchen. .
If Lin Qingchen hadn't stopped her, she would have asked Yun Ruoyan a lot, and had been talking about it all day long, because in her opinion, this was something to be very proud of.
But Lin Qingchen said that His Royal Highness Yu Wang has always acted out of common sense. Today he says who he wants to marry, and if he is unhappy, he wants to kill someone tomorrow.
So there is nothing to publicize about this matter, it is best for Grandpa not to tell, so as not to worry him.
Therefore, Lin Zainan, who rarely went out, only now learned from Lin Qingxue what happened to King Yu and Yun Ruoyan at the flower viewing banquet.
His thoughts were the same as Lin Qingchen's. King Yu's actions were often unpredictable, but what worried Lin Zainan was not King Yu Limo but the Rong family.
Although Rong Yuehong was abolished by King Yu, she has an inseparable relationship with Yun Ruoyan. Rong Tianling, the head of the Rong family, is a man who will get revenge, he can't afford to offend Li Mo, and this evil spirit will definitely rush to Yun Ruoyan's head.
"Grandpa, don't worry, I'm also the first daughter of the Yun family, if I don't have a definite reason, Rong Tianling wouldn't dare to do anything to me!" Yun Ruoyan said without fear.
Lin Zainan didn't ask Yun Ruoyan in detail how she got the beads from King Yu. He just told her that although the bead didn't look strange, since it belonged to King Yu, it must not be simple, and it might be a spiritual weapon to assist cultivation.
Yun Ruoyan looked at the beads on her wrist, and suddenly remembered that that annoying guy hadn't bothered her for a long time.
At this time, Li Mo was on his way back from Yue country. Just ten days ago, he received news from the Yue Kingdom that he had discovered the remnants of the Wu clan.
After Li Mo got the news, he rushed over in a hurry. He finally learned the specific origin of the poison that Yun Ruoyan was poisoned by an old witch.
And this origin actually involves something that even Li Mo could not have imagined!
...
Two days passed almost in the blink of an eye.
In the past two days, Yun Ruoyan stayed in Xianglan Garden for a long time every day, and she knew that if Yun Moxiao came back, she would definitely visit her grandmother first.
But Yun Ruoyan did not wait for Yun Moxiao before Liu's birthday.
Early in the morning, when the bright moon was still high, the Yun family began to get busy. When the sky brightens, everything will be ready and waiting for the guests from all parties to arrive.
Compared with the tranquility of the past, today's Xianglan Garden is bustling and crowded.
Yun Ruoyan arrived a little earlier than when she came to pay her respects a few days ago, but today someone arrived earlier than her.
"My mother is really energetic today!"
Mrs. An dressed and combed Mrs. Liu herself. She stood behind Mrs. Liu, facing the mirror, and inserted emerald phoenix hairpins into Mrs. Liu's snow-white hair.
Mrs. Liu doesn't like to wear red, but she can't be too plain on her birthday.
She was wearing a royal blue satin dress with nine hundred and ninety-nine birthday characters embroidered with gold thread, and the cuffs and skirt were still embroidered with pictures of auspicious clouds with gold thread. It does look quite spiritual.
An's, on the other hand, was wearing a bright red pleated skirt embroidered with rich and noble peonies, and with a complicated headdress, she looked even more luxurious than Liu's at first glance.
Mrs. Liu looked around at the children and grandchildren surrounding her. Yun Ruoyao, Yun Ruoyu, Yi Qianying, and several granddaughters who were concubines were all dressed in gorgeous formal attire and expensive headgear. Gathering together makes people look at it and shake their eyes.
Yun Ruoyan stood quietly in the corner. Although she was also dressed in a festive water-red dress, she looked much cleaner standing next to the girls.
If you don't pay attention and glance at her, you will definitely ignore her, but if you look at her alone, you will definitely be amazed.
Without the overwhelming presence of bright colors, Yun Ruoyan wore a veil that was almost the same color as her skin, with a clear and pure face that seemed to be dewy.
The water-red semi-stand-up collar one-piece tunic skirt outlined the curves of her body in a more mature way. Pure beauty and a touch of maturity appear in the same person, but there is no conflict at all.
Mrs. Liu nodded in satisfaction, then turned her eyes away from Yun Ruoyan, put her on An's body, and said, "On the big day, everyone should dress a little more luxuriously."
"Grandmother, life is boundless." At this time, a young man in a purple robe walked in and bowed to Mrs. Liu.
"Moyuan." Liu smiled and gestured for him to get up, "When did you come back with your father?"
Yun Moyuan straightened up and replied: "I just rushed back late last night, my father was outside talking to my uncle, my grandson couldn't wait, so he came first to say hello to my grandmother."
The Liu family only has one son and daughter, but has three sons and two daughters. The father of Yun Moyuan among the three bastards, Yunfeng was in charge of the family shop.
Yunfeng travels outside all the year round, Yun Moyuan doesn't have too much cultivation talent, so he learns business from him, and he doesn't come back often.
Yun Moyuan said some auspicious words to Mrs. Liu, and then stood together with Yun Ruoyao and others.
When his gaze fell on Yun Ruoyan inadvertently, he couldn't move his eyes away for an instant.
Yun Moyuan has seen some beauties before, just like these sisters in front of him, they are all the best among beauties, and they can stand out among the colorful flowers.
But the woman in the corner has a distant and illusory beauty, that beauty attracts people to chase but makes people not to approach, like a mirage.
For a moment, Yun Moyuan was stunned.
Yun Ruoyan felt his gaze, and couldn't help showing a look of contempt.
The woman in front of Yun Moyuan suddenly looked at him, and then gave him a supercilious look, and he blushed involuntarily.
He didn't know the changes in Yun Ruoyan during the few months he left.
In his impression, Yun Ruoyan was still that ugly monster who couldn't stand on the stage, and he would never have the slightest connection with this beautiful lady in front of him.
"Sister Ruoyu." Yun Moyuan finally looked away from Yun Ruoyan, and asked Yun Ruoyu next to him in a low voice, "Which aunt's lady is that wearing the water-red dress?"
He is familiar with the daughters of several uncles' families, but he is not very familiar with the two aunts who married far away.
"Cousin, be careful, that's a fox demon who can only seduce people." Yun Ruoyu had already noticed Yun Moyuan's nympho look, and reminded her.
"Sister, stop joking, I'm serious." Yun Moyuan thought she was talking sourly.
Yun Ruoyao turned her head and said indifferently: "That is Yun Ruoyan who fought against you before, don't you know my cousin?"
"What? It's her!" Yun Moyuan couldn't help raising his voice, and then he couldn't believe it.
Yi Qianying looked over, and a sneer that no one noticed flicked past the corner of her mouth.
Yun Moyuan wiped his eyes vigorously with his sleeve, then went to look at Yun Ruoyan, and finally gradually found some shadow of the ugly girl whom he despised in the past.
How could it be her? ! She is obviously an ugly monster! How did you turn into a fairy after being reborn? !
The disbelief on Yun Moyuan's face finally turned into bewilderment.
"It's getting late, and the guests should come too."
At this time, Mrs. Liu said, "Don't stay here with me, go and play with the young masters and ladies of other families."
"Cousin, won't you go out with us?" Yun Ruoyu pulled Yun Moyuan who was still a little dazed.
Yun Moyuan came back to his senses, looked at Yun Ruoyan again with a complicated expression, and then walked out with everyone.
"Ruoyan, go and play too, it's boring to be with my old lady."
"If Ruoyan doesn't feel bored, she just likes to stay with the old grandmother." Yun Ruoyan said half coquettishly.
"Okay, okay, okay, then you can stay."
Liu looked at Yun Ruoyan dotingly, she had already ignored Yun Ruoyan's birthmark under the tulle, and felt that such a lovely granddaughter would be good even if she was kept by her side.
An Shi looked at Yun Ruoyan, but there was a deep coldness in her eyes.
Yun Ruoyan, don't blame me for being ruthless as a stepmother, you forced me to do this!
