The Princess Consort Has A Lethal Destiny Chapter 653 - Wish

Chapter 653: Wish

Under such circ.u.mstances, Yuan Lingyin and the second daughter of the Dong family should be fine.

However, early the next morning, a person died of drunkenness outside the city.

When the coroner performed an autopsy, he found a hairpin and a handkerchief in his hand. The handkerchief was not something that an ordinary family could afford. It was unknown who had spread the word that this thing belonged to the Yuan family’s daughter.

Some people said that the hairpin that the Yuan family’s young lady had worn on her head when she went out yesterday was exactly the same as the hairpin found on the corpse!

Others also said that the Yuan family’s young lady had cried bitterly when she went home yesterday. Perhaps her innocence was really ruined…

The rumors were spread so widely that the two families who had been relieved were now helpless to do anything about it.

It was a fact that their daughter went missing. How could they stop others from talking?

Master Hou entered the palace directly to ask for forgiveness and called off the marriage.

The Emperor did not decline that.

The Hou family of Nan’an had many talents. The Emperor was secretly not exactly satisfied with the marriage arranged for the Fourth Prince. To him, even if the side consort was an illegitimate daughter, he should choose someone with a lower family background.

Master Hou was not someone who would mistreat his daughter. Now that he heard the rumors out there, his heart ached.

After returning home, he asked his wife to see whether she could find a good family for her eldest daughter and marry her off as soon as possible.

It was best if she married out of town. Otherwise, if she stayed in the capital and listened to these rumors, she would probably go insane from the torture.

Madam Hou thought about it carefully and remembered that there should be many good men in the collateral branch of her family.

Her family was not in the capital and was far from here. Yuan Lingyin would definitely not be affected by these rumors.

Of course, she naturally could not bear to marry her nephew to a concubine’s daughter. The grandchildren of the collateral branch did not have much potential. At most, they only had ordinary jobs to get by.

Yuan Lingyin also felt the changes in her family.

It was impossible for her to not feel sad, but when she thought of Master Mo’s words, some hope surfaced in her heart, so she obediently agreed.

Of course, she did not forget to go to the Fortune Pavilion to thank Master Mo and her biological mother.

“Master, I’ve stayed by my daughter’s side all these years. I only have one wish, which is for her to have peace and happiness… Now that you’ve said that she’ll be blessed in the future, I… feel at ease. However, I still can’t hold back but to ask for your help to find out who the person who harmed my daughter is…” The ghoul was still very weak. Even her soul looked much more terrible than before.

She was lucky that she did not dissipate.

She was not a powerful spirit with a deep obsession, yet she still dared to go to the academy. She really had a death wish.

“Investigation?” Xie Qiao sighed. “I’ll try my best, but I can only find out who it is. As for revenge, I may not be able to do that.”

The culprit was very secretive. The people at the administrative office were running around, but they still could not find the few kidnappers who had captured the young ladies.

The only one they found… was dead.

“As long as there’s a result, it will be fine. It’s good that my daughter is aware and to have her guards up,” the ghoul said again.

This mother was really doing her best to protect her daughter.

Xie Qiao had no choice but to agree to such a wish.

Yuan Lingyin listened to the master speak to the air and felt uneasy. However, she suppressed her fear and asked, “Master, is that my mother?”

She only dared to call her mother and not aunt when there was no one else around.

“It’s her. I’ve taken your birth mother’s soul and I’ll send her for reincarnation next time. Her only wish now is to find the culprit for you.”

Yuan Lingyin was touched and her eyes turned red.

Xie Qiao thought she would do it on her own. Thinking that it would be good for Zhao Xuanjing to acc.u.mulate good karma, she hesitated and went to the criminal division to send a message.
