Tang Yuan gripped the plate tightly and refused to let go. It had grown claws this time. No matter what, it could not be thrown into the hot water without being able to fight back.
Ling Jue found it funny when she saw Tang Yuan’s cowardice. “Tang Yuan, you’re the one who wants to eat. Why do you always compare me to that man when you say I’m short?”
2
“I’m just trying to make you ambitious,” Tang Yuan pouted. It was doing this for Lord Jue’s own good. “Look, you only eat one bowl of rice at a time. You can’t grow taller at all.”
2
“Heh, you sure know how to make excuses.” Ling Jue chuckled. She picked up the bowl of rice and continued eating.
2
This body could only rely on this to nourish the body.
2
Only by eating more could one grow taller.
“Lord Jue, you’re actually a girl.” Tang Yuan squatted on the plate and chuckled. “Tell me, why do we have to go through so much trouble to pretend to be a man?”
2
“It’s not us, it’s me.” Ling Jue took a bite of her rice, her thoughts drifting away.
2
In the past, in Miaojiang, only women could cultivate Gu worms, and men could not.
And the women who cultivated Gu worms would die very early.
Her mother was not from Miaojiang. She came from an ordinary Han nationality. After falling in love with her father, she was brought back to Miaojiang by him.
She had never stopped her father from making Gu worms, but she was especially resentful of such things. Why did women have to do such things? It was already a modern society. These things could be completely abandoned.
2
Why would she shorten a woman’s life so much for this kind of thing?
2
When she gave birth to her, it was difficult for her to give birth. She held her father’s hand tightly, asking him not to let her become a vessel for the Gu.
Her father had been deeply in love with his wife. When she pa.s.sed away, he agreed to her request.
2
He let her become a young tribe leader. Only when she came of age did she become the tribe leader of Miaojiang.
And the reason why she had disguised herself as a man back then was to extend her life.
And when she was a few years old, she discovered the emperor Gu and used it to experiment on herself without her father’s knowledge.
2
After the tribesmen found out about it, they all jumped up and gave it a try. Her father allowed the men to raise the Gu.
2
However, it was enough to only raise the imperial Gu, a heaven-defying Gu worm.
“Lord Jue, are you thinking about what happened in Miaojiang?” Tang Yuan asked curiously as it watched her fall into a daze.
2
“Yes.”
2
Ling Jue chewed the rice as if it was wax.
“I’m not eating anymore. You can come back after you finish eating.” Ling Jue put down her chopsticks and turned to go upstairs.
2
Tang Yuan looked at her back and pouted. What happened to Lord Jue?
“Young Master, here’s your boiled water!” The nanny walked out with the boiled water, only to see Ling Jue walking upstairs without even turning her head. She mumbled in confusion, “What’s wrong with this Young Master?”
2
Tang Yuan gnawed on the chicken drumstick with hatred. Old witch! It doesn’t want hot water! Lord Jue wouldn’t want to hurt it! Hmph!
2
…
Ling Jue lay on the bed with a determined look in her eyes. She must walk the path that belongs to her!
The path that belongs to her, Ling Jue!!
2
At that moment, Tang Yuan suddenly ran over. “Lord Jue, Ling Zhensheng is back. He asked the nanny to call you down.”
2
“Okay.” Ling jue raised her eyebrows slightly. She stood up and opened the door. The nanny was standing at the door and was about to knock.
2
“Young Master, the governor is back. He wants you to go down.”
2
“Okay.”
2
Ling Jue nodded and walked downstairs.
Ling Zhensheng was sitting on the sofa drinking tea. He looked a little happy.
2
“Xiao Jue, come and have a seat.” Seeing him come downstairs, Ling Zhensheng waved at him excitedly.
2
Ling Jue walked over and sat on the sofa, listening to him.
2
“The house has been bought, and the household register has been prepared.” He handed the doc.u.ment in his hand to Ling Jue with a gentle expression. “The ID card will only come in two days.”
