Chapter 148: Chapter 148: The Holy Woman of Miao Region

"Enough discussion, let’s see how the cat reacts when Mu Qing and Xiaoyun return." Mr. Han advised.

After half an hour, Mrs. Xia and Mrs. Mu came in, supporting each other.

Once they were seated, Mr. Xia looked towards Xia Yue, asking her to question if the cat recognized them.

"Xuanxuan, which of them was that insect heading towards?" Xia Yue inquired, setting Xuanxuan down and directing her towards them.

Xuanxuan glanced at the two elderly women and then went to Mrs. Xia, meowing towards Xia Yue, "Meow, the master is her."

"Grandma?" Xia Yue gazed at Mrs. Xia, disbelieving.

"How could it be you?" The others were equally surprised, assuming it would have been Mrs. Mu.

"What’s wrong?" Mrs. Xia and Mrs. Mu stared bewilderedly back, confused by the cat’s behaviour and their surprised reactions.

Everyone turned to Mr. Xia, encouraging him to explain.

Mr. Xia repeated to Mrs. Xia and Mrs. Mu what Xia Yue and Xia Xi had just said.

"Xiaoyun, do you know anyone who might harbor great hatred towards you? If so, the search would be easier." Mr. Xia asked his wife.

Mrs. Xia, upon hearing this and noticing everyone staring at her, fell silent for a few minutes, seemingly plunged into reminiscence, before sighing in resignation.

"In the end, the truth has been discovered. It seems to be fate." she said glumly.

Upon hearing these words, everyone realized that she had remembered something unknown to the rest of them.

"Xiaoyun, you..." Mr. Xia looked at his wife, his voice tinged with uncertainty.

"Old Xia, remember when we first met? If it weren’t for you, there wouldn’t be a Yue Yun today." Mrs. Xia smiled at her husband who had stood by her side for so many years.

"I remember that. The three of us went off-roading, but we drove off a hilltop due to speeding. Even though I managed to brake, the car and I tumbled downhill nonetheless. You rescued me from the wreck, and performed emergency treatment on me so that I could be sent to the hospital.

To repay you for your kindness, I enrolled you in school as you requested... After several years spent together, I fell in love with you and married you... Now here we are." Mr. Xia replied, chuckling.

"Yes, more than sixty years have just flown by, but it seems the person from the past has finally tracked me down. I told you before that my family was a minority and all died from illness. Unable to stay in my hometown any longer, I sought work outside." Mrs. Xia nodded and continued speaking.

"Right." Mr. Xia nodded. Back when they got married, his parents had looked into her background. As her story checked out, they left it at that and made no further investigations.

"My parents did die, but I was the holy woman of the Miao Region and was forbidden from leaving the Miao Region. But I longed to see the outside world. At that time, the High Priest’s son was very weak and required a type of poisonous insect called the White Gu for treatment. This insect could only be raised successfully with the holy woman’s blood.

The High Priest wanted me to marry his son so it would be easier to draw blood. But I refused.

With both my parents dead, I seized this opportunity to escape. That’s when I met you.

I thought I could take this secret to my grave. I never expected it to be revealed today because of a Ghost Poisonous Insect." Mrs. Xia remarked, sounding quite helpless in the end.
