The Princess to Eight Uncles (Lily And Mr. Crawford) Chapter 343

Chapter 343 A White Lie

Lilly placed the young, resentful spirit into the jar of souls. The rest of her family had turned into a vanity aura and been absorbed by the jar of souls.

From this point on, they were gone forever. The sins they atoned for had turned into virtues. All of these were bestowed on the young resentful spirit, allowed her to reincarnate, and paved the way for her to the

next life.

Lilly recalled their parting deal. They promised each other to meet again in the next life. The couple promised the child that they would find her. The child naively thought that she could go to the next life to “reserve a place” for her family, completely unaware that today’s farewell was the last time they would see each other.

It was a white lie.

At this point, Lilly understood the meaning behind this

“Luckily, you won’t remember any of this in the next life.”

The young resentful spirit will forget her family, who loved her so much and whom she loved so much. Having no memories of this seems like a good thing, but somehow it also felt rather upsetting.

Lilly was a little sad. It was difficult for her to understand the difference between right and wrong.

In the children’s eyes, there are only good people and bad people. Children frequently ask, “Is he a good guy or a bad guy?” while watching television.

It was at this point that Lilly realized both good and bad people could change. Good and bad cannot be distinguished in a manner as straightforward as black and white.

Josh clung to Lilly. He comforted her, saying, “Lils, don be sad. This is their choice.”

Josh was not sure if this was the right or wrong thing to do. Someone else might spare the resentful spirit family out of sympathy, but they made their own decision and requested it. So that was sufficient.

Josh racked his brains and added. “It’s like repaying debt. They owed too much money, so until they paid off the debt, they each had to make a small contribution. Even though it seems pitiful, paying off debts is an obligation, right? You cannot forgo the debt out of sympathy.”

After all, they managed to get a chance for Tinkerbell to be reincarnated.

“Let’s go,” Drake said indifferently.

What is there to be sad about? This is childish.

Lilly felt tired. Not physically, but mentally, she felt it for the first time. She did not feel like walking.

Lilly stretched out her hand and said, with a pitiful look “Drake, hug.”

Drake was speechless. Acting cute doesn’t work for me.

Josh was about to go up there and hold Lilly. Drake pushed his brother away with a blank expression and lifted Lilly up. He said, “This is an exception.”

Lilly hugged his neck and rested her head on his shoulder. She replied softly, “Hmm!”

Drake always tells me the same thing: this is an exception, leans he will do the same again next time, isn’t it?

Lilly had not yet completed kindergarten, but she had already begun to consider the meaning of the

words.

Josh walked with them from the side. He gazed at his brother helplessly. This guy looked unwilling to do this, but he wanted to snatch Lily from me.

Hannah followed behind and remained silent.

Lilly rested on Drake’s shoulder and asked curiously, “Hannah, what’s wrong with you?”

Hannah waved her hands repeatedly and said, “Nothing I’m fine. Let’s go; we have to go now.”

Lilly was puzzled by her reaction.

Zachary trailed Lily, but he cocked his head and gave her a quick glance. He wondered, “So, have these resentful ghosts killed that feral ghost?”

Lilly, Drake, and Josh were all stunned. The trio said in unison, “Zac, you need to make a trip to the hospital!”

Zachary was dumbfounded.

When the children went downstairs, they saw Jack anxiously looking for them.

It turned out that Drake had given him a call. Jack had not finished enjoying his morning tea at the time, but he quickly dropped everything to come here. Jack looked at them anxiously and asked, “Is everything okay? What happened?”

Josh hesitated for a moment, and he answered cautiously, “We got lost when we entered the hospital.”

Jack was stunned. He looked at Drake and answered in disbelief, “Oh, I see.”

Not to mention Hannah and Zachary. Drake and Josh could easily have IQs that are higher than 300 when combined. It seemed unlikely for them to lose their way in a hospital.

Drake, the reliable big brother, paused for a while and concurred, “That’s right. We got lost.”

Jack said, “It’s fine-I mean, totally fine-but why are you here? This place is haunted. You shouldn’t come here next time.”

Jack said that and reached out to take Lilly from Drake, Surprisingly, Drake just walked past him. He had no intention to pass Lilly on to him.

Jack was puzzled.

Isn’t Mr. Drake the one who disliked Lillly the most?

Josh had retrieved his backpack from the corridor where they had arrived before they left. Half of the iron pot was revealed from the bag; he had stuffed it back in

Jack sported a bewildered look again. He recalled Mr. Crawford’s instruction that he should not ask any questions. In the end, Jack just drove quietly.

Drake brought the children home.

Bettany came out of the house when she heard the noise. She was shocked to see how filthy the kids were. She asked skeptically, “Are you sure you went to the library?”

Hannah had washed her face, but her fair skin had grown a little darker. This girl must have smudged her face with something and then attempted to clean it off. She made an effort to hide her tracks, but she failed to get it right.

Zachary looked slightly better. His pants were slightly smudged.

Josh and Drake, who were always neat and obedient, appeared the same as they left the house.

“Lift your feet!” Bettany commanded sternly.

Josh obediently lifted his foot-indeed, the soles of his shoes were black.

Lastly, she checked on Lilly, who was quietly standing on the side with her head and hands hanging down. She looks perfectly clean. It seemed like her older siblings had cleaned her up.

“Where’s Polly?” Bettany asked.

Lilly was startled.

Everyone had cleaned up their act in the car so that Bettany could not find out. They believed they had properly groomed themselves, but they were kids after all, and they left with some obvious loose ends.

Particularly Polly… Who would expect Bettany to examine the parrot?

Polly poked her head out of the pet carrier. In its beak it held a talisman. The turf of the hair on its head was black. You would not recall that the tiny tuft of fur was originally yellow unless you knew Polly well.

Bettany

sneered. It startled Polly. The parrot took off upstairs with a quick flap of its wings.

She scared the sh*t out of me! Why did she look at me as if she was going to turn me into a stew

when I just went out to have some fun?

Polly would talk nonstop if it weren’t for the talisman she carried in her beak.

Bettany crossed her arms and commanded, “Tell me. Where did you go?”

Hannah was quick to respond. She said, “Grandma! We didn’t go anywhere. We just went to the library! I’m “saying” the truth.”

Big Head Hannah earnestly swore with jumbled words
