Chapter 110 Cursed
"Yes!" Xu Shu looked at this familiar yet unfamiliar house, his eyes flushed.
"When I was little, my favorite person was Sister Siyu. Because I didn't have a mother and my father had to go to the government office, he was often not at home. She was four years older than me and always took me to the Duke's Mansion to play and protected me very well!"
"Because I was weak, when I was ten, Sister Siyu asked me to go to the military camp to learn martial arts. For her sake, Brother Lu Xuan had someone teach me how to practice boxing and kicking."
"But one day, I came back from the training ground feeling completely dazed and unconscious. When I woke up, I found blood all over the ground and myself sitting on my father. I leaned on a long sword in my hand to rest, and that sword had hit my father in the chest!"
Xu Shu was dazed and grief-stricken: "I was so scared that I was shaking all over. All the servants came out and said I had killed my father! I was so scared that I ran away alone!"
Lu Xuan stared at her seriously: "So you don't know whether he was killed or not?"
Xu Shu shed tears of despair and nodded unwillingly: "I thought I didn't kill him, but in fact, I really did!"
"I've never even killed a chicken before, but that day I was so confused and dazed that I didn't even know what was going on. I actually killed someone, and the person I killed was my father!"
Lu Xuan frowned: "How old were you when you killed someone?"
"Eighteen years old!"
Lu Xuan asked again: "Do you and your father have a bad relationship? Don't you like him?"
Xu Shu's eyes were filled with sorrow, almost hollow. "He's both my father and my mother, how could I not like him? Ever since Mom left, Dad has never remarried for my sake. This alone shows how much he cares for me! How could I be so inhuman?!"
Lu Xuan thought for a moment: "Could it be that those servants did it, and they all ganged up on you?"
Xu Shu shook his head painfully: "No, I recognize that knife technique, it is indeed my method!"
"I've lived with the reputation of being a mother killer and a father killer for fifteen years. Many times I've wondered if I should just die!"
She paused and said, "But I also feel that I should still be alive. At least I can help some people. Then there will be people to pay tribute to my parents!"
Lu Xuan: "Your father is an official in the imperial court. What office does he hold?"
"He is the director of the Imperial Observatory!"
Something flashed through his mind, but Lu Xuan didn't catch it.
She continued, "After you escaped, did you go to another place? Did no one come to catch you?"
Xu Shu: "Yes! But after two years of chasing, it's gone!"
"So you come back to this house every year to worship?"
"Yes!"
Lu Xuan was really curious at this time.
Because Wuyuan has excellent feng shui, there are no resentful spirits or grudges.
Either the Supervisor felt relieved, or he was just a loving father!
Lu Xuan now understood why Xu Shu was so reluctant to speak.
Having lived in such a state of worry for a long time, she has probably become accustomed to walking alone, and she is also extraordinarily strong and vigilant.
"So what did you do after you weren't caught?"
Xu Shu thought of something, and a hint of warmth finally appeared on his face. "Apart from my good kung fu skills, I don't have any special abilities. So after the situation calmed down for a long time, I opened an escort agency in Zhending Prefecture!"
Lu Xuan's voice softened. "You must have had a hard time before things calmed down, didn't you?"
Xu Shu felt a kind of sadness that came from seeing through the mundane world. She smiled faintly: "It's all fate, it doesn't matter!"
Lu Xuan: "Did you get married in these years? Did you have any family later in life?"
Xu Shu lowered his head and clenched his hands: "With a fate like mine, how could I go out and harm others?"
"So do you come back every year at this time?"
"Hmm." Xu Shu looked around the house again with a complicated expression. "Previously, this house was bought and renovated by the Duke's Mansion. This time, I saw that the sign had changed. I lay in the garden and listened to the little maid talk for a while, then I realized that the owner had changed. It was now Princess Jin!"
Lu Xuan smiled and said, "So you originally planned to return to Zhending Prefecture after the worship?"
"No, I moved to the outskirts of Beijing five years ago! The money I earned from running the escort agency was enough to spend, so I raised a bunch of unwanted children there! I have to visit them often!"
Lu Xuan felt a little respect for Xu Shu.
But it also feels a bit sour.
It's nothing. I'm a lonely person with no relatives or friends, but I still want to light a lamp for other similar children.
Such a kind person was trapped for his whole life because of the vanity of killing his father!
She looked at the starry sky and suppressed the ripples in her heart: "If I say that it wasn't you who killed your father, would you believe it?"
"It's not me?!" Xu Shu looked at Lu Xuan suddenly, and his heart seemed to be shaken by a huge bell.
Lu Xuan nodded: "If what you just said is all true, and not embellished by your consciousness after the accumulation of time, then you must have been cursed!"
"Cast a curse?!" Xu Shu was even more shocked.
Lu Xuan: "Maybe I can help you find the real answer to whether you killed your father out of your own will fifteen years ago, or why you killed him!"
Although Lu Xuan looked like a girl much younger than himself, Xu Shu believed her for no reason.
Her eyes lit up instantly, and without hesitation, she said, "I want to find the answer!"
In fact, as soon as she froze her body and couldn't move, she had already felt the difference of this princess!
With such great ability, she would not doubt the authenticity of what he said at this moment!
What's more, this was something that had tormented her for fifteen years. She had been thinking about it day and night, wanting someone to do it for her. It was also the answer she had been seeking for half her life.
"However, I have a request!" Lu Xuan said casually.
"What request?" Xu Shu became nervous again, fearing that Lu Xuan would say that he couldn't do it or was unwilling to do it.
Lu Xuan: "You need to give me money."
Xu Shu slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
But it was just a sigh of relief.
She quickly realized that the person in front of her was a princess, and the princess of Prince Jin, who lived a life of luxury and extravagance. How could the wealth she had seen be something that a small escort agency like hers could afford?
Her heart was in suspense again.
Seeing Xu Shu's nervous expression, Lu Xuan couldn't help but smile: "Don't be nervous, it's just five hundred taels of silver!"
At once!
Five hundred taels!
Xu Shu's body collapsed suddenly.
Over the years, she has saved a total of more than one thousand taels, which is left for her children to live on!
If she took out five hundred taels, someone would starve, and she felt a little reluctant.
Just as she was hesitating, she heard Lu Xuan say, "These five hundred taels are my gift to the children. People in the Xuanmen sect value merit and virtue, and I also want to do some good deeds for all living beings! I hope Miss Xu can give me this opportunity!"
Xu Shu suddenly felt a sore nose.
She understood Lu Xuan's intention!
She didn't have to spend any money at all, she just had to do something good for the children! In this way, the princess also added merit to the mix!
She was surprised and delighted, tears welling up in her eyes. She quickly bowed and said, "Your Highness, you have been so kind to me and my children! I would like to thank you in advance!"
Lu Xuan took Xu Shu out of the backyard and into the main hall.
She drew two soul-entering talismans using Xu Shu's birth date and time, dismissed everyone, and left herself and Xu Shu in the room.
Xu Shu looked at her doubtfully: "Princess, what do you need me to do?"
Lu Xuan lit the incense with ease, his voice calm and soothing: "Later, I will open up your erased memories, enter your sea of consciousness, and show you the truth about how I murdered your father!"
