Chapter 40: Stubbornness!
Faced with An Guogong's enthusiasm, Wu Qiu calmly refused.
"There is a distinction between men and women, so the poor will not enter."
"Then I'll have the tables and chairs brought out, and the Taoist Master will take a sip of tea first."
"No need, the second lady is in critical condition, I'd better take action first."
After hearing what he said, Yue Shi quickly agreed.
"Thank you, Taoist priest!"
Wu Qiu waved Fuchen to let everyone disperse. Then he took out a peach wood sword, closed his eyes and danced a set of sword skills on the spot. Then he burned a stack of talisman paper into the water and handed it to the servants in the mansion.
"Sprinkling this talisman in front of and behind the house can temporarily ward off evil spirits and avoid evil."
Yue Shi was still worried, "Taoist Priest, why is it only temporary?"
Wu Qiu said: "It's just because someone has to tie the bell to untie it. As I said before, the second lady must have forcibly snatched other people's things, which would attract the resentful spirits into the body. If you want to completely get rid of the evil light in the sky,
We can only return it to Zhao intact."
As he spoke, he pointed at the dark sky with floating dust, and a gust of night wind happened to blow by, making people feel chilly.
An Guogong came up and asked, "What does it mean to rob someone else's property? Did Yurou commit something?"
He cast sharp and questioning eyes on Yue Shi, who was so frightened that Yue Shi lowered her eyes and did not dare to answer, and fine beads of sweat slid down her temples.
"It's better to explain this matter by yourself after the second lady wakes up."
Wuqiu interrupted the gaze between the two and handed Yue a box containing a white capsule.
"Madam, this is a pill that Pindao made himself. It can wake up the second young lady."
Yue Shi had never seen a medicine with such a shape and texture, and held it in his hands for a long time.
"How come this medicine is so strange?"
Wuqiu smiled enigmatically, "Madam, just give it to the second young lady."
Yue did as he was told and ran away from Duke An Guo as if running for his life, fearing that he would be questioned again if he walked too slowly.
After taking the capsule, An Yurou woke up within just a quarter of an hour.
Yue Shi cried with joy and hugged her and cried bitterly.
"My son, you finally woke up! You really scared your mother to death."
An Yurou was still a little dizzy and her thinking was a little slow.
"Mother, what's wrong with me?"
Yueshi caressed her cheek while telling her the story of the illness.
"If Taoist Priest Wuqiu hadn't come to my aid, I'm afraid your life would have been decided here. Taoist Priest is waiting outside the house now. Please follow me and kowtow to express my gratitude."
An Yurou walked out with the support of Grandma Wang, and recognized Wuqiu at a glance as the Taoist priest she had seen at the door of Shanzhitang that day.
"Thank you, Taoist Master, for saving my life."
Wu Qiu accepted her bow, but his expression became even more ugly.
"Second Miss, your whole body is filled with great resentment and evil spirits. I hope you will listen to my advice and quickly return the things that do not belong to you to their original owners."
An Yurou's face changed drastically when she heard this, and she denied it without thinking.
"What do you mean by what the Taoist Master said? I have not taken anything from others."
Seeing that she refused to repent at this time, Wu Qiu shook his head with regret.
"You are stubborn! This is what I say. If you refuse to listen, not only will your own life be in danger, but the entire Duke's palace will be shrouded in resentment and evil light!"
"What kind of resentment and evil light?" An Guogong on the side suddenly panicked when he heard this, "Taoist Priest, what do you mean by this?"
Wu Qiu snorted coldly: "Master Guo thought how Pindao found this place was not because of the evil light in the sky!
Judging from Pindao's experience, someone in the family must have suffered a long period of torture to develop such strong resentment.
If it is not resolved, it may lead to a catastrophic disaster, and then the whole government will suffer."
At this time, Duke An Guo regarded Wuqiu as half a god. Hearing this, he was frightened and trembled for three times. Then he pointed at An Yurou and scolded An Yurou angrily.
"Rebellious girl, what wrong thing did you do? Why don't you deserve it!"
An Yurou was also frightened in her heart, but she gritted her teeth and refused to admit it.
Until Yue Shi shook her arm and urged: "How long has it been, and you are still so stubborn. If you have three advantages and two disadvantages, how can your mother survive!?"
"Mother!" An Yurou looked at her in disbelief, "Why do you say that? Don't forget, my daughter and An Yueli still have a competition."
"My life is gone, why do you care about her competition?"
At this time, Grandma Wang also anxiously persuaded you: "Second Miss, do you know how dangerous it is when you fall into a coma? Dr. Li has been consulting the Duke's office for many years, but there is no solution at all, and he even suspects that you are suffering from hysteria.
If it hadn't been for Madam's desperate efforts to stop you, I would have sent you and the maids from Ziguang Garden to Zhuangzi!"
"What? Father wants to drive me away?"
Faced with his daughter's frustrated and hurt expression, An Guogong only remained soft-hearted for a moment.
"Yes, I did say this. The doctors at that time told you that you were suffering from hysteria and that it might be contagious. How could I ignore the lives of everyone in the mansion and take the risk of leaving you in the mansion?"
"Father, I am your daughter, but you can be so cruel! Are you worried about the safety of these servants, or are you worried about yourself!?"
"Bastard!" An Guogong's face became hot when he was questioned, "You are a rebellious girl. You have made mistakes and don't regret it. You dare to question your father's decision-making. It seems that if I don't teach you some lessons, you won't have a long memory.
"
As he spoke, he reiterated his order.
"I will put my words here today. If you don't truthfully explain your mistakes, I will still send you to Zhuangzi."
An Yurou still wanted to argue, but she felt a strong dizziness coming over her, almost losing her footing and falling.
Upon seeing this, Yue Shi quickly hugged the man into his arms, feeling distressed and worried.
"I said, I said it's not okay? It was Yurou who took away the ambergris in the house!"
"What? Yurou took the ambergris!?"
Duke An Guo was greatly surprised. He really thought it had been stolen by thieves.
"What did she do with the ambergris? Why didn't she hand it over quickly?"
Seeing that Yue had told the truth truthfully, An Yurou broke the jar and said.
"Father's box has been kept by mother. As for An Yueli's box, I have already returned it to Mr. Yin."
"You returned the ambergris to Yin Huaizhi? Are you crazy? I spent a lot of money to buy it!"
Facing such a short-sighted Duke An, Yue was helpless and angry.
"Master, Yurou is doing this for your own good!
Ever since An Yueli went to make a big fuss at Shanzhitang last time, the Yin family has become enemies with us. Yurou took back the ambergris to maintain the relationship between the two families.
Yin Huaizhi is highly valued by His Highness the Crown Prince, and he has promised Yurou that the two families will continue to be family friends in the future. If the master has any difficulties, the Yin family will help."
Hearing these words, An Guogong, who was furious a second ago, suddenly changed his expression.
"I see. Since you are here for the Duke's government, why didn't you tell me in advance?"
