Chapter 46: Acting Skills
Seeing the determined look on Xu Zhenying's face, Mrs. Miao felt that this daughter was becoming more and more unfamiliar. She stared at those familiar eyes, with the unhidden sharpness in them, and vaguely saw the once docile and well-behaved Xu Qingying.

Her heart was strangely trembling, and she almost said without hesitation: "Who are you?!"

Xu Zhenying was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face and his eyes narrowed slightly, "Of course I am Xu Qingying."

"No, you are not my daughter -" Ms. Miao stepped back in horror. She didn't know what she thought of, and her face was as pale as paper. She didn't know where the courage came from. She pointed at Xu Zhenying tremblingly and said, "Where did you come from? You lonely ghost, why do you want to take over my daughter's body! Get out quickly, otherwise I will not spare you!"

Yeah, found out.

Sure enough, the person who knows her daughter best in the world is definitely her mother.

Xu Zhenying didn't expect to be seen through by Miao so quickly. She had thought of this day long ago and had rehearsed her words in advance.

Resurrecting a corpse and traveling through time and space are incomprehensible to people of this era. She might even be treated as a monster and dragged to the heaven for sacrifice. Even if she is a close relative, Xu Zhenying does not want to take this risk.

After all, life is precious, and she finally had a second life.

Xu Zhenying was silent for a while, stared at Miao and said quietly: "I am not a ghost, I am Xu Qingying. If mother doesn't believe it, I can tell you some things that only mother and I know. For example... during the Spring Festival when I was ten years old, you and my father We had a quarrel and lied about going back to my parents’ home, but actually took me to a restaurant and had a hearty meal. I ordered my favorite sauce-flavored duck. At that time, I also met your childhood handkerchief in Bianjing City... What is your name, Auntie Lan? of--"

Miao was still staring at her warily, but she was not as panicked as before. She said half-believingly, "If you were a ghost, you would naturally make some calculations. Then let me ask you, why has your behavior changed so much, my Ying'er?" It is absolutely impossible to talk back to my second brother like this, and it is absolutely impossible to think of a backpack——"

"This." Xu Zhenying raised her head and looked at the sky outside, with a rare trace of confusion in her eyes. She sighed slightly, and then looked at Miao, "Mom, do you believe it? In fact, I have died once. On the night when I vomited blood after being sent to prison——"

Miao's body swayed and she almost lost her balance. Xu Zhenying, regardless of her ashen face, supported her and continued: "At that time, when I woke up, it was completely dark, and I just walked around in a daze. Later, I walked around in a daze. After crossing a bridge, when I opened my eyes again, I was in another world. In that world, my name was Xu Zhenying, and I had a father who loved me very much. He gave me all his love and taught me everything he had learned in his life. Not only did he teach me how to read and calligraphy, but he also supported me to become a female official. Unfortunately, in that world, I also died young and only lived to be 32 years old before I died in an accident."

Although it was nonsense to fool Miao, Xu Zhenying still thought of Old Man Xu, and her eyes were slightly sore.

Now we are separated forever, and we can never go back in this life.

When Miao heard this, she believed everything and just held her in tears.

Xu Zhenying had no choice but to continue: "After I died, I returned to the place where I started, and then I remembered you and my father inexplicably. Mom, do you think this is the memory of my previous life coming back?"

Mrs. Miao hugged Xu Zhenying and started to cry, almost beating her chest and crying so sadly, "Son, it's because Lord Yama took pity on me, Miao Bihe, and sent you back to me again!"

"Then I heard someone say, why is it this person again? Have you made a mistake? I wanted to see that person's face, but I couldn't see it clearly. It was like it was in a fog, and then I fainted as I looked at it, and then I opened my eyes and returned to the cell. Obviously I have lived for more than 30 years, but suddenly I turned into a 13-year-old girl. Mom, do you think it was a dream? Or is it what really happened?”

Mrs. Miao lay on Xu Zhenying's head, crying so hard that she hated herself for not protecting her daughter that night and not even knowing that her daughter was dead.She also hates that she only knows how to scold and educate her. Her daughter has gone through so many things alone, and she still doesn't know how to feel worried and scared in her heart, but she blames Xu Qingying. Now think about it, isn't everything Qingying did for the Xu family?
If Qingying and the Zheng family hadn't broken off their engagement, where would they have gotten those supplies?
Without Qingying, how would these people know about leggings? In the past few days, she had seen that almost most of the people in the team had leggings tied. In recognition of the Xu family's affection, everyone who saw her greeted her politely and said To be honest, this feels even more beautiful than in Bianjing City!
It was her second uncle who relied on her in Bianjing City, but it was her daughter who relied on her in the exile team!
What's more, her daughter actually worked as a female official in another world!
Female officer, what an outstanding person can do that!There must be parents in another world who, like her, devoted all their efforts to their children.

Mrs. Miao felt regretful and resentful at the moment. She just hugged Xu Zhenying and sobbed as if hugging a lost treasure. She covered her mouth and looked around in horror. Then she solemnly ordered: "My son, these are your words." But you must never tell anyone about it. Regardless of whether it is true or false, since the King of Hell has given you a way to live, you must not say anything, so as not to wake up the people underground and lure you back!"

Xu Zhenying felt a little touched, but still said: "What if I am exposed? The father of that world taught me a lot, and one day I will be able to use it..."

"Just say it was taught by your grandfather. Although your grandfather was a scholar, he always liked to read some miscellaneous books. If anyone asks about your ability in the future, just blame your grandfather."

Xu Zhenying nodded.

Miao wiped her tears and her eyes became clear, "Don't worry, Mom will protect Ying'er from now on. Even if the Lord of Hell comes to rob her, I will fight him."

Seeing how determined Miao was, Xu Zhenying secretly exclaimed: Miao has finally passed this test, and she can freely use her ideas in the future, without wasting all the excuses she had been thinking about before.

When Miao thought of Xu Qingying's untimely death in another world, her parents didn't know how to be sad, and her heart became sad, "I have to set up a longevity card for your parents over there, and bless them to be safe and sound." Live a hundred years.”

Xu Zhenying wanted to say that Xu's mother had passed away a long time ago, but after thinking about it, she forgot about it and let Miao find some psychological comfort.

The knot between mother and daughter was untied, and Ms. Miao felt a sense of joy in regaining something. Now she was holding on to Xu Qingying and refused to let go. When she looked at Xu Zhenying again, she felt that everything would be good.

He is more stable than before, his personality is more aggressive, and he has become much more mature in his words and deeds. I think what Xu Zhenying said is true.

It must be the blessing of the ancestors of the Xu family that allowed her daughter to come back to life, and even learned a skill to return to her.

Given time, she will definitely return to her hometown to worship her ancestors, light a dozen firecrackers, and thank the ancestors of the Xu family for their blessings.

But Miao couldn't help being curious after all. She lowered her voice and said furtively: "Son, tell me the truth, have you really become an official? How big an official have you been? Do you allow women to be officials?" Xu Zhenying was about to open her mouth. , Pian Miao shook her head again, suppressing curiosity and interrupting her: "Don't say anything, don't say anything, what if the secret is revealed and the Lord of Hell is angry and takes you back. Ying'er, remember these words. You can't say anything to anyone, keep mum, and carry these things in the coffin."

"It's natural. I won't tell anyone except my mother. I'm afraid they will treat me like a monster and drag me to the fire."

Miao instantly transformed into a hen protecting her calf and said fiercely: "Let's see who dares!"

After receiving Xu Qingying's assurance, Mrs. Miao felt that all the gloom in her heart was gone. She felt that her whole body was rejuvenated. She even began to secretly think that her daughter had been to the underworld. Maybe she only learned some spells and her skills were unknown. How much better are they mortals? They must listen to Qingying's opinions more in the future.

Thinking of this, she began to believe that Xu Qingying said that the supplies would come back, and she began to feel happy and full of hope for her future life.Even if she is exiled to Qianzhou, with her daughter's ability, is she still afraid that she will not be able to live a better life?

At noon, the large army began to take a routine rest. Liu Jiejie only gave them a small bag of food, while he himself ate dry food from the Xu family.

The tempers of everyone in the Xu family have been worn away in the past few days. They were already tired from the long journey, and they couldn't sleep well and couldn't take a bath. Everyone in the Xu family was in a miserable state, with disheveled hair like a beggar. At this moment, they didn't even have the energy to complain, so they just accepted their fate. As soon as they gathered the grain, they set up pots to cook.

At this time, it was already the sixth day of exile.

Most of the people in the team have already finished their dry food. They either have to go to the next town to buy it, or they can only cook the food they carry with them, or they have to rely on the mountains to pick some fruits or wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger.

The eldest aunt was carrying the small bag of grain with no expression on her face, but Xu Deyuan snorted coldly and stared at Xu Zhenying with a pair of vicious eyes, "Sixth girl, you won't swear that Liu Jiejie will return the things to us within five days." Why? Why are our whole family still starving and freezing now?"

"Second uncle, why are you panicking?" Xu Zhenying sat down cross-legged, her tone neither humble nor overbearing, "This is only the first day."

"Oh, it's not you who was forced to sign and sign the pledge, so of course you don't panic. What, third child, do you plan to put all the debt of 20 taels on our second house? Is it just me who is responsible for honoring my mother?"

"What did the second brother say?" Xu Deyuan was so irritated that he immediately expressed his position, "Of course, the 20 taels will be shared by our four bedrooms."

The eldest aunt jumped up immediately, and then she realized that she shouldn't come forward. She only stared at the people in the second room, and secretly pinched Xu Dechi's waist with gritted teeth. Xu Dechi didn't understand, and immediately shouted: "Third brother, this plan is too good." But it’s really cool, Liuya agreed to the credit issue on her own. She is just a girl. She only asked for 20 taels, but then she asked each of us to pay for it. How can there be such logic?"

The eldest aunt then echoed: "It's like someone is unfilial to my mother. Is it a matter of money?! What's 20 taels for a donkey cart? It's clearly Li Xiucai who blackmailed us. We shouldn't agree! If Let me tell you, let alone 20 taels, he can't get even 18 taels of silver! In my opinion, the extra [-] taels should be used for three bedrooms!"

It was rare for Xu Deyuan to feel that what Huang Cui'e said was reasonable. He nodded frequently, especially when he saw Xu Degui's frown, he felt even more proud.

Xu Zhenying smiled faintly, and a pair of clear black and white eyes swept across the audience, giving people an inexplicable sense of coercion: "Since everyone wants to distinguish it so clearly, those materials were all obtained by me in exchange for my own marriage, and strictly speaking, they have nothing to do with you. . But I thought, we are one family, why should we calculate everything, and we divided the rooms equally."

These words instantly left the first and second bedrooms speechless.

Xu Zhenying struck while the iron was hot: "Since everyone is not satisfied with this distribution plan, it doesn't matter. We can overthrow it and start over. We gave the third room 20 taels of silver, but the materials we want back have nothing to do with you. Do you still have any opinions? "

"How can that be done?!" Huang Cui'e shouted immediately.

Xu Zhenying glanced over with stern eyes and raised her voice slightly, giving people a sense of oppression, "What does Aunt Yi mean? It would be best if we pay 20 taels of silver to the third room, and the materials for the third room should also be shared with you?"

Huang Cui'e knew that she was being unreasonable. When she saw that Xu Zhenying seemed angry, she shrank her neck and muttered to herself: "Who knows if those things can be taken back? You are so sharp-tongued, why don't you deal with Liu Jiejie? He only knows that he is in trouble." Damn girl."

Huang Cui'e snorted, picked up the bag of rice, and vented her anger on Xu Minglu, the only concubine in the second room, and shouted: "What are you doing standing still? You want me to serve you all by myself, why don't you go and collect firewood?" Make a fire and cook! You still think you are a concubine in Bianjing City——"

Xu Minglu thought: "Auntie is really good at picking on the weak. She didn't call the daughters born by Lian, but she only called her. It was clearly just to bully them and their daughter into not being favored!"

Huang Cui'e was suffocating in her heart. When others finished eating, she finally borrowed someone else's pot. She poured the bran rice into the pot angrily, and while stirring, she said angrily: "Eat, eat, eat, I'll eat you all to death——"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a tall figure coming towards him. Xiao Huang looked up and almost fainted from fright.As soon as she dropped the wooden stick in her hand, she lost all the arrogance she had just now, and instead showed a humble and flattering look, "Team Leader Zhao, why are you here?"

Leader Zhao came closer, took a look at the contents of the pot, then frowned and asked, "Is this all you eat? Where is the dry food for your luggage?"

Huang Cui'e cursed in her heart, didn't you guys snatch it away?

But she didn't dare to show anything on her face. She only lowered her head and said: "Board Zhao, our things have been taken away by Liu Jiechai. He said that according to the law, prisoners in exile are not allowed to hide private property. All we have eaten these days is A bag of grain he gave me.”

Captain Zhao looked tense. He took a step forward, stirred the rice soup with his fingers, and then spat it out with a "poof" sound. "What is this? Is it edible? Go and call Liu Jiejie over." !”
