Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1087: Chapter 1067: Truth-Telling Session

Afterwards, Qianqian went back to her room to check, only to find that, just as Yanran said, there was only a brief mention, without any details about the pattern, color, or effects, just that it was a treasure of the First Emperor.

”Hey, I really suspect that the First Emperor got himself killed by eating it...” Qianqian shook her head speechlessly, holding her icy milk tea, took a sip, and squinted her eyes in comfort.

Eating stones? It’s not like he has pica.

The crux is, if there really was any Immortal Divine Medicine, it’s not seen in the existence of Spirit Jade now, indicating it should have already been used in alchemy, right?

But when it comes to alchemy, melting stones... did they really have that technology back then?

However, technology is secondary, can stones really be digested by the body? This is what makes Qianqian incredibly skeptical.

But the lack of any actual information left her feeling quite helpless.

That evening, thanks to Yanran’s big mouth, the Luo Family successfully gathered to eat together, though it was neither a holiday nor a festival, but Qianqian had returned...

”By the way, First Uncle, Second Uncle, there’s something I need to talk to you about later, don’t leave too quickly.” After dinner, Qianqian turned back to wink at the two uncles while helping with the dishes.

Jia Ning couldn’t help but laugh on the side, ”Xiao Qianqian, are you planning to secretly ask for pocket money?”

Qianqian’s eyes lit up at this, ”Yes, how did Second Aunt know? I want to buy something delicious.”

He Wenyu on the side was quite speechless, but still silently finished washing, after all, it was their family matter. But no matter how you look at it, Qianqian was extremely pampered in this family, making her inexplicably relieved.

After drying her hands, Qianqian helped Old Master Luo upstairs with her two uncles.

”What’s wrong?” Xihan, who is very fond of her niece, instinctively frowned seeing the serious look on Qianqian’s face and reached into his wallet, ready to hand her a card if she had any issues.

Qianqian’s mouth twitched at her second uncle’s action, ”Second Uncle, do I lack money?” The price of a Spirit of Jade is obvious, she could allocate a few places with money if she wanted.

However, due to scarcity, she didn’t plan to do so, since such items are valuable because of their rarity.

Maintaining scarcity keeps the goods’ prices high.

Xihan hesitated for a moment but nodded, indeed, Qianqian’s assets far exceeded those of his sons.

He put his wallet away, his expression becoming more serious, having sensed something off in the air during the previous Cleansing Marrow.

He couldn’t quite put his finger on it, but it was uncomfortable and oppressive, and he’s certain that whatever Qianqian is about to say is related to this feeling.

Qianqian was silent for a moment, her gaze fixed on the seated Old Master Luo, suddenly she kneeled on the ground with a thud.

Old Master Luo was startled, quickly stepping forward to help Qianqian up, ”What are you doing? Your grandpa isn’t dead yet!” Even during New Year’s, he would never let his granddaughter perform such rituals, how could he bear such shock?

Both Luo Xisi and Xihan were dumbfounded, not understanding Qianqian’s intent, but they too went to assist her up.

Qianqian shook her head, ”Whatever I’m about to say, please, I beg you, agree with this.”

She couldn’t bear the pain of losing family, a realization that came after Luo Shufan was taken away.

Her weakness was these family members, these friends, it was... Tang Tianyi.

”Whatever it is, speak properly, you’ll scare your grandpa like this,” Luo Xisi quickly calmed down, his eyes clearing from shock.

In situations like this, a calm thinker is needed the most.

Qianqian lowered her head, silent for a moment, ”Please join us in cultivation.”

Having stepped into this path, Qianqian’s lifespan was already significantly extended, and she was hesitant to progress further, otherwise, she’d need just a catalyst to soar.

Old Master Luo fell silent.

After the incident with the space, he noticed many differences, but couldn’t ask, fearing it might be detrimental to his granddaughter.

Xihan was aware of the situation, as was Luo Xisi who, despite his worldly experience, was not completely ignorant.

But hearing this term from Qianqian’s mouth still felt somewhat unfamiliar.

”Your Fourth Brother is with you, isn’t he? And Nuannuan,” Xihan, experienced in the business world, wouldn’t be easily deceived.

He knew his son had secrets, but the child grew up, he should have his own secrets, so he didn’t investigate.

If it happened to Qianqian, though, he would’ve started investigating long ago.

Luo Shufan’s incident would never be allowed to happen again!

Qianqian looked at her second uncle in surprise, then nodded after a few moments.

”Your Fourth Uncle...” Luo Xisi also squinted his eyes.

All family, all kin, thinking they could conceal anything?

It’s just that a family chooses not to investigate too deeply.

Qianqian nodded again.

”And that Xu Family kid,” Luo Xisi continued.

Talking about Tang Tianyi, Qianqian was shocked, opening her mouth in surprise. Others might have clues, but Tang Tianyi rarely appeared before the Luo Family...

Still, she obediently nodded.

Old Master Luo sighed, ”I’m already quite advanced in years...”

Three pairs of eyes immediately turned to focus on him; no matter what was said here, only Old Master Luo could truly make decisions.

Old Master Luo held the sway over the Luo Family’s future, so Qianqian must speak honestly.

”But I still want to see Qianqian get married, want to hold Qianqian’s children, want to see more of this world, together with your grandma.” Old Master Luo smiled warmly at Qianqian, ”I’ve always said, as long as you want, the Luo Family is behind you, unconditionally supporting you.”

Qianqian’s eyes filled with tears, looking at Old Master Luo she nodded vigorously.

Luo Xisi shrugged, ”I knew the old man would spoil his granddaughter endlessly, but seeing Fourth Brother so carefree, I’ve long been envious.”

Xihan nodded in agreement, ”Don’t mention it, just look at us now, aren’t things much better than before? My business partners even said I look younger, like I’ve taken a Miraculous Elixir.”

”Uh?” Qianqian blinked, a bit unsure of the current situation.

She had thought long and hard on the flight here about how to persuade them, fearing the elders wouldn’t agree...

That’s why she didn’t dare call ahead, intending to find He Wenyu to discuss, but Jimo Shun’s arrival disrupted her original plan, leaving her no choice but to speak up when everyone was present. She was still thinking through her arguments and her mind was rather chaotic when she heard these words, feeling somewhat at a loss.

Everything seemed quite different from her expectations...
