OMG! Tyrant's Pampered Baby Is a Valued Princess

The next day.

Bai Zhi’er still hadn’t seen Feng Fuce, but she had already heard about the resolution of the murder case involving Lv Xinniang.

Lv Da, as an accessory, was punished with an even more severe crime for failing to report the crime, and was sentenced to execution.

As for his son, Lv Xiang, for murdering and offending the Princess, Bai Xilie sentenced him to death by dismemberment.

In the morning, Chu Ping brought Qingmei to Ruizhu Palace for duty and took the chance to tell Bai Zhi’er all about the case.

"That Lv Xiang is a coward who bullies the weak, and as soon as he was tortured by the Xiuluo Guard, he confessed everything."

While savoring her tea, Bai Zhi’er asked, "Was Lv Xinniang really killed by him?"

Chu Ping nodded, "It was all over money. Lv Da was immoral, taking the money himself and telling his son he didn’t."

"His son was expecting to get a share, so he went to Lv Xinniang’s house to demand money. After being scolded by Lv Xinniang, in a fit of rage, he strangled her."

"After she died, he asked Lv Da for help renting a fishing boat. Lv Da used to be a boatman by the Guan River, and together they dumped Lv Xinniang’s body in the river."

Qingmei was furious upon hearing this, "What beasts! Lv Xinniang was their family, and they could still be so heartless?"

Chu Ping nodded, "Exactly! All for money, as if possessed by demons."

Bai Zhi’er calmly sipping her tea, suddenly interjected, "Even demons are better than him; don’t disgrace the Demon Clan."

Chu Ping was taken aback.

Bai Zhi’er did not want him to notice anything unusual and asked, "What happened afterward?"

Chu Ping continued animatedly, "Lv Xiang confessed that they were afraid Lv Xinniang’s body would float, so when dumping her body, they tied two big stones to her neck and legs to make her sink to the riverbed."

"But unexpectedly, after just two days, Lv Xinniang’s body floated up on its own and was discovered by nearby fishermen."

"Princess, it’s bizarre, isn’t it? Even though they tied stones to her, she still floated up. The forensic doctor examined the body and said it was covered in scars, clearly beatings suffered during her life, showing how deep her grievance was!"

Bai Zhi’er sighed, "Such a pity. Sold at birth, finally redeemed herself, only to be killed and disposed of by her greedy father and brother."

"Lv Xinniang, if there is a next life, may you be safe and happy." She said, and then stood up.

Bai Zhi’er walked to the table, picked up a stick of sandalwood incense she usually used for calligraphy, lit it, and waved it like drawing a talisman in the air.

Finally, she walked to the doorway and inserted it in the southwest direction.

That’s the direction where Lv Xinniang was to be buried.

The wind flickered the incense light, and Bai Zhi’er’s jade-white hands slightly clasped, "May the grievance dissipate, and you be reborn into the human path soon."

With her words, invisible pink-golden glow ascended through the sky.

A Taoist performing a repose often has to perform many complex rituals.

But such things for Bai Zhi’er were merely a matter of a few words.

Surely, Grandpa Yama, hearing her special request, would also show mercy towards Lv Xinniang.

Chu Ping stood behind Bai Zhi’er, watching her perform, couldn’t resist asking Qingmei in a low voice, "Do you think the Princess might really be an immortal who descended to the mortal world?"

Sometimes, the actions of Bai Zhi’er and Feng Fuce made Chu Ping feel they were the same kind of people.

As if they both came from the Heavenly Court, not only exceptionally beautiful but also always handling matters of the Xuanxue.

Qingmei heard this and playfully tapped his head with a smile.

"Our Princess is just a Blessing Star descended to the mortal world, a little fairy from the Heavenly Court."
