Xia Qing smiled but said nothing.
Same as default.
"What is your relationship with Luo Xinluo Yuxi and the others?" Meng Lan asked softly. "How can they safely let you come over to replace Mayisha?"
"I'm an orphan." Xia Qing smiled lightly. "Growing up in a welfare institution, Luo Xin was my sponsor and supported me in my studies until I graduated from college. I was always very grateful to him, but now, I know very well that the reason why he sponsored me was because I was with Those three sisters look very similar."
"How many years have you been in Ningluo?" Shen Han said gently.
"Two years." Xia Qing said.
"Two years ago, Mayisha was still a fifteen-year-old child. Can she marry Luo Sixi?" Chen Xiaoqian's focus was different from others.
"Did Mayisha marry Luo Sixi under your name?" Lin Luo also asked.
When Xia Qing came, she had already graduated from college and must be twenty-two or three years old.
"No." Xia Qing said. "I want to return to the next life, how can I agree to her taking on my identity? Luo Xin has made great achievements in the past ten years. He has a way to give Mayisha a legal identity and age."
Lin Luo understood.
It was Xia Qing who didn't agree, it wasn't that Luo Xin and the others didn't think about it that way.
"But... what can a fifteen-year-old girl know?" Chen Duo sighed.
When her sister was fifteen, his parents were still there, and her sister was still a carefree child.
"How can their family care about what others think?" Xia Qing smiled. "They only care about what they want!"
"There's something wrong with you!" Lin Luo said with a smile. "Ordinary people, even if it is to repay a favor, would not be willing to go to a strange world. But you, not only came, but you also don't seem to have a good impression of your benefactor, which is a bit strange."
The smile on Xia Qing's face widened and she looked at Lin Luo without answering Lin Luo's question.
Lin Luo didn't intend to listen to Xia Qing's answer and just smiled.
"You speak ancient Tocharian very well." Meng Lan said. "It's not like I only studied for two years."
"I started learning when I was eight years old. Luo Xin hired a teacher specially for us."
"You?" Lin Luo asked. "You, Luo Yuxi and Luo Sixi?"
Xia Qing smiled again and did not answer.
Lin Luo had already vaguely guessed why Xia Qing agreed to come to Ningluo to replace Mayisha.
So what, she seems to be gossiping again!
"Did Luo Xin tell you when he would let you return to the next life?" Meng Lan asked.
"Luo Yuxi should go back before Ning Luo disappears." Xia Qing said with a self-deprecating smile. "As for me, maybe I will marry to Nan Qin in the autumn."
"That Zhou Ling seems to like marrying to Nan Qin." Lin Luo said.
"So, I will find a way to get her married." Xia Qing smiled.
"What will be the consequences if no one marries to Southern Qin?" Shen Han asked.
"Let's fight!" Xia Qing said. "It sounds like a marriage, but in fact it is a marriage. Look at the Ningluo Kingdom now. Apart from the capital Ningluo, can people from other places still survive? It should be that this small capital is the only one left! Moreover, Ningluo The Luo Kingdom is rich in gold and jewelry, and has been coveted by the Southern Qin and Northern Guards for a long time."
It has also kept Luo Xin and the others on their radar for so many years!
Shen Han nodded and looked at Meng Lan.
Meng Lan was silent.
She really didn't want anyone to marry to Southern Qin as a princess. The only real princess was her sister Ayimu.
However, she also learned from Rena and Dawu that Ningluo's current national strength was too weak, and coupled with the severe droughts in various places for years, it was no longer able to deal with foreign invasions.
This marriage to Southern Qin was also for the purpose of joining forces to deal with Northern Wei.
If it were before future generations, Meng Lan would definitely find a way to expose the conspiracy of Luo Xin and others and let Ayimu marry to Southern Qin as a princess.
But now, in Meng Lan's eyes, marriage or something might ruin Ayimu's happiness.
She would rather her sister marry an ordinary person, as long as she is happy.
"What's going on with praying for rain?" Lin Luo decided to ask some serious questions.
Xia Qing smiled: "Qin Cheng and Luo Yuxi both studied meteorology."
I see!
Lin Luo thought there was some witchcraft!
"However, in the past two years, the rainfall in Ningluo has become less and less, and many rivers have stopped flowing. It may be related to some crustal changes, but I don't understand." Xia Qing added.
Maybe, this is the reason why Ning Luo disappeared?
In a place that is no longer suitable for human survival, as long as all the people are gone, there will be no family and no country.
"If you can't think of a way before autumn comes, you will definitely be the one to marry to Southern Qin, right?" Lin Luo asked again.
"So, I need to cooperate with others to expose Luo Xin's conspiracy." Xia Qing said. "However, before that, we must first find a way to return to the afterlife."
"Don't you know how you got here?" Shen Duo asked.
This is really important.
Even if he, Shen Han and Xiao Qian could go back or not, others would definitely not be indifferent.
Especially Meng Lan.
"I don't know." Xia Qing sighed. "I just drank a cup of milk tea that Luo Sixi bought for me."
"So, you didn't know the truth until you came here?" Lin Luo asked.
Xia Qing smiled bitterly.
Sure enough, love is very confusing to people's eyes.
Fortunately, Xia Qing woke up.
"Why do you think you can cooperate with us?" Lin Luo asked.
She was very curious indeed.
"Although I don't know why you came to the palace, but I have been here in Ningluo for two years. Princess Ayimu has never had contact with people outside the palace. Suddenly someone is looking for her. There must be a reason." Xia Qing said with a smile.
"But the first princess we met was not you." Chen Xiaoqian said.
"They reported it to Zhou Ling." Xia Qing said. "I can't appear with Zhou Ling at the same time, so I let people observe in secret. Unexpectedly, you are quite powerful. Instead of being frozen by Zhou Ling, you froze her."
"What if we are the ones who are frozen!" Lin Luo asked with a smile. "You won't cooperate with us, will you?"
"Yes." Xia Qing couldn't hide it. "Not only will I not cooperate, I will not save you. I am no match for Zhou Ling, and I don't know witchcraft."
"Then what's your bargaining chip for cooperating with us?" Lin Luo asked immediately.
"Can I see Luo Yuxi as a bargaining chip?" Xia Qing asked.
"Forget it!" Lin Luo laughed and said again. "Did you know that Luo Sixi also came to Ningluo?"
Xia Qing's calm expression was slightly touched, but she soon regained her composure.
"I really don't know." Xia Qing said with a smile. "I haven't seen Luo Yuxi for a long time."
"Does Luo Yuxi live in the Prime Minister Wu's Mansion?" Meng Lan asked.
Xia Qing nodded: "She can be said to be able to cover the sky with one hand in Ningluo, and there is no need for cunning rabbits. After all, other people who accidentally passed through were either sent back, or bribed, or else, they were killed!"
