"Is that the same as Hongjin?"

Sheng Zhiyao nodded: "Yes!"

Nangong Yu looked at the well-behaved Hong Jin next to Sheng Zhiyao with envy: "You are so lucky to meet it."

"What kind of luck is this?" Sheng Zhiyao waved her hands and said with a look of disgust, "I think my life is quite miserable. I have to make pills for it every day, and now I have red brocade and white brocade."

"Bai Jin? Is it the Bai Jin snake that you caught in Xuanyue Palace?" Nangong Lin asked in surprise.

Sheng Zhiyao raised her head proudly and said, "Yes!"

"Aren't you afraid of it?"

"Why should you be afraid of it? It is very obedient." Sheng Zhiyao pinched the tip of Hongxue's nose with a smile.

"That is a highly venomous snake, not to mention this is the first time I have heard of the white elaphe snake." Nangong Lin shook his head and said, "Are you really not worried if it bites you?".

"Don't worry, it doesn't dare to bite me, otherwise I will kill it and make soup for it!"

"Master, you are so cruel!" Hongxue couldn't help but tremble.

Sheng Zhiyao rolled her eyes, stretched out her hand and knocked it on the head: "How could I be so cruel?"

"Ugh...it hurts!!!" Hongxue roared twice in protest, then lowered her head and said aggrievedly, "Master, you hurt me, it hurts so much!"

Sheng Zhiyao retracted her hand, then rubbed its head to comfort her: "Okay, I'll try to control my strength next time."

"Master! I'm hungry~" Hongxue cried out in grievance.

Sheng Zhiyao looked helpless and stood up: "Why isn't lunch ready yet? I'm hungry too."

"I'm going to hurry up in the kitchen." Meier heard from the side and said quickly.

"Go!" Sheng Zhiyao waved to her.

"I'll go with you! By the way, let's get familiar with the environment of the Hou Mansion." Nangong Yu stood up and smiled warmly.

Sheng Zhiyao nodded, and Nangong Yu followed Mei'er out.

Sheng Zhiyao sat down, picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, then turned to Nangong Lin and said, "Brother Nangong, I need you to do something for me."

"Princess, tell me." Nangong Lin nodded with a smile.

"Sang Min used to live in Juxian Building, but recently I found out that he no longer lives there. I don't know where he is hiding now. I want you to check his whereabouts." Sheng Zhiyao said seriously,

"I suspect that he has conspired with King Wu."

"Okay, I understand."

"Master, why don't you let me go?" Hongxue tilted her head and looked at Sheng Zhiyao, protesting dissatisfiedly, "You don't even love me anymore."

"What are you talking about?" Sheng Zhiyao smiled and pinched its furry head, "When Brother Nangong finds out about him, I have other things for you to do."

"That's pretty much it!" Hongxue immediately grinned, revealing two rows of slender fangs.

"Okay, stop being cute! Call Hong Jin and Bai Jin back quickly, or I won't let you sleep at night." Sheng Zhiyao warned.

"Yes, Master, I'll go right away!" Hongxue hurriedly begged for mercy.

"Yes." Sheng Zhiyao nodded and looked towards the courtyard gate.

Nangong Yu and Mei'er just walked in.

"Princess, the food has been prepared and everyone else has arrived." Meier reported respectfully.

"Brother Nangong, please!" Sheng Zhiyao stood up and invited.

Nangong Lin smiled and nodded, and the two of them walked out together.

At this time, in Qingliu Courtyard, everyone was sitting around the table. On the table were various exquisite dishes and several bottles of wine.

As soon as Sheng Zhiyao and Nangong brother and sister appeared, everyone's eyes focused on them.

"Well, let me introduce you. You have met these two before. This is my father Sheng Zhengye and my mother Qi Xinyue." Sheng Zhiyao introduced them one by one.

Sheng Hancheng nodded as a greeting, but Sheng Zhengye frowned and looked at the two brothers and sisters in front of him.

"Who are these two?"

"Nangong Yu and Nangong Lin meet the Witch Emperor and the Witch Queen." Nangong Yu and Nangong Lin knelt on their knees.

"Witch Emperor? Me?" Sheng Zhengye pointed at himself, then looked up at Sheng Zhiyao, hoping she could explain.

"Father, let me explain this matter. You let Sister Nangong and the others get up first." Sheng Zhiyao smiled softly and reminded Sheng Zhengye.

Only then did Sheng Zhengye realize that he had lost his temper and quickly called the two of them to get up.

"Father, it's a long story, but here's the thing..." Sheng Zhiyao said happily, "So grandma is the princess of the Wu clan, and we are both from the Wu clan and descendants of the direct line of the Witch Emperor.

people."

"Witch King?" Qi Xinyue's eyes widened in surprise.

"Are you sure you are not mistaken?" Qi Xinyue asked in shock, "Isn't the lineage of the Witch King of the Witch Clan broken? How can it be easily found now?"

"Xinyue, don't worry, listen to Zhiyao slowly finish speaking." Sheng Zhengye patted her shoulder and motioned for her to calm down.

Qi Xinyue also nodded in agreement.

"Grandma is from the Wu tribe, sister Nangong can vouch for that." After saying this, Sheng Zhiyao turned her head and looked at Nangong Yu.

Nangong Yu nodded affirmatively: "I can guarantee it with my life."

Sheng Zhiyao then continued: "Grandma is the child of the Witch King, and her bloodline is pure, but the Witch King's lineage has been declining, and it has always been passed down from generation to generation. Until the last Witch King, he only had two children, but for some reason the Witch Queen

I chose to hide my grandma’s birth.”

"This..." Qi Xinyue couldn't help but sigh, "No wonder our family has lived in the capital all our lives, but there is no news at all."

"This brings up another matter, but my parents don't have to worry about it for the time being." Sheng Zhiyao smiled faintly, "No matter what, we are all the Sheng family."

"Yes! No matter what, this family is still here." Qi Xinyue said with emotion.

"Okay, okay, let's eat first. I'm so hungry. If you have anything to do, we'll talk about it after dinner." Sheng Zhiyao touched her belly and acted coquettishly.

"Okay, okay, let's eat first!" Qi Xinyue shook her head helplessly.

Sheng Zhengye looked at his wife dotingly, and then asked everyone to use their chopsticks.

After the meal, everyone dispersed, but Qi Xinyue took Sheng Zhiyao's hand: "Zhiyao, where is your eldest brother?"

Sheng Zhengye couldn't help but look sad when he heard this.

"Father, mother, don't worry. My eldest brother has been to Gongyuan for two days and will be back after the scientific examination tomorrow."

"Ah? What did you say? Tomorrow?" Qi Xinyue suddenly panicked.

Sheng Zhengye couldn't help but frown: "Zhiyao, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"Father, eldest brother is also afraid that you will worry." Sheng Zhiyao comforted him.

After Qi Xinyue heard this, she couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Zhiyao, I want to find your elder brother." Qi Xinyue cried, "Is his hand healed?"

Sheng Zhengye shook Qi Xinyue's cold hands and said to Sheng Zhiyao: "Zhiyao, your eldest brother is also a strong person. We don't necessarily have to ask him to take the exam. As long as he is healthy and safe, we will be satisfied.
