Liu Ruyan was already furious.

Was Master Xuanchan's exorcism really that violent?

If someone's home was vandalized like this, would anyone still hire them?

But he was indeed notoriously difficult to invite throughout Bianjing and even the Holy Kingdom.

I've heard that his talismans are also particularly effective.

If you manage to obtain one, you can be spared misfortune for three years.

“Ruyan, don’t be rude.” Ye Lanyin then explained, “Master is famous for his exorcism skills, and he just came from the old lady’s courtyard.”

"Your concubines and your father-in-law have all been driven away."

“Shixuan has been having some bad luck lately. Your father-in-law begged your mother to give up the only spot to you, which is why Master Xuanchan came here.”

"Aren't you going to thank your father-in-law?"

Liu Ruyan's face darkened as she looked at the Marquis of Zhenbei, daring not to speak her anger.

After all, the elders didn't mind, so how could she dare to be the one to take the lead?

Then, with a pained expression, he said, "Master, no...it's alright..."

Master Xuanchan smiled and flicked his whisk.

“Those who do good deeds will surely be blessed by Heaven.”

"It seems that my calculations were correct. The Marquis's mansion will be invincible in the future, and this top scholar is destined to emerge from your family."

Liu Ruyan was overjoyed upon hearing this, thankful that she had not offended the master.

She married Shixuan not only because she loved him, but also for the sake of becoming the wife of a top scholar.

Now that she is Shixuan's first wife, the position of the top scholar's wife is rightfully his.

The gloom on her face vanished instantly.

He smiled and said, "Thank you, Master."

Master Xuanzhan did not leave after he finished examining the feng shui.

Under the lavish hospitality of the Marquis of Zhenbei, they drank several cups of tea and ate a lot of snacks. The Marquis even asked them to pack up the leftovers and take them home.

When leaving.

Marquis Zhenbei and his wife were practically bent over from bending over so much, but they finally saw Master Xuanchan off.

lobby.

Marquis Zhenbei and Ye Lanyin sat in the main seats.

The old lady was helped to sit in a lower position, and her concubines also sat down in her place.

"Dehong, it seems our Lin family is really about to have a stroke of good fortune."

"Did the master really say that Shixuan could become the top scholar in the imperial examination?"

Unable to contain his excitement, the Marquis of Zhenbei laughed and said, "Yes, Mother, you even said your daughter is a princess and a county princess."

His words were loaded with meaning.

Ye Lanyin pursed her lips, "She really dares to say that."

Then, smiling, he took Lin Wanwan's little hand and looked down at his daughter.

"Wanwan, can you hear me?"

“Master Xuanchan said that you will be a princess or a county princess in the future. Your mother is counting on you for the future.”

Protect Mother, protect Mother.

[You don't need to be some lousy princess to protect them~]

The old lady looked at him with disdain.

Will she become a princess someday?

Pooh!

How dare a bastard child be worthy?

Her Wanqing was born a lucky baby.

Only she deserves the title of princess.

Yu Shuang asked worriedly, "Master, what should we do now?"

"Everything in the mansion is smashed, and there's a lot of silver here."

“Yes, sir, our household is almost starving.” Lingwei stood up and said excitedly.

Shuxue had been feeling dazed and confused lately, but in the last couple of days, she felt a little better.

She finally felt better, but then all the tables and chairs in the room were overturned. She felt that being dizzy was actually better.

"Master, the tables and chairs in my courtyard..."

As she spoke, she squeezed out two lines of clear tears.

Seeing her like this, Zhiyan quickly spoke up as well.

"My lord, we concubines are already incredibly fortunate to have been redeemed by you and brought into your household as your concubines. Now... this is no one's fault..."

A low sob came from inside the room, which irritated the Marquis of Zhenbei.

Isn't he the same? But what can he do?

Our household has been plagued by misfortune these days. If we don't ask Master Xuanchan to come and exorcise the evil spirits, we might anger some ghost or monster, which would be asking for trouble.

Now that the evil spirits have been exorcised, the mansion will only soar to new heights from now on.

"Alright, there are still plenty of tables and chairs in the servants' quarters. Go and move them."

Having received instructions from the Marquis of Zhenbei, the group finally stopped crying.

Zou Shuang'er didn't care about these things at all.

What she coveted were the things in Ye Lanyin's courtyard, which she could rightfully possess once Ye Lanyin was divorced. She didn't care for these cheap items now.

Marquis Zhenbei turned to look at Ye Lanyin.

"Madam, are you sure that's Master Xuanchan?"

Ye Lanyin smiled and said, "My lord, you don't suspect me of faking it, do you?"

No, that's not what I meant.

"I just felt that he seemed different from what I had heard outside."

"I sense something strange about Master Xuanchan. Is that whisk in his hand really that powerful?"

"With that kind of flick, he could knock everything out of the room. Anyone who didn't know better would think he pushed it over."

[Haha, wasn't it pushed over?]

Those were all taken from Mother; she found them disgusting and even considered it bad luck to give them away as gifts.

This master...

Lin Wanwan smiled like a thief.

...

The Imperial Study.

As soon as Master Xuanchan entered the Imperial Study, he threw his monk's robe on the ground and wiped his face haphazardly.

"Your Majesty, please don't make me do this kind of work again!" The Grand Tutor sat down on a chair to the side, looking as if he had just escaped a disaster.

Is it easy for him?

Yesterday, when I heard His Majesty's edict, I thought it was something good, but who knew it was something like this.

If he knew, he would definitely make an excuse that he was unwell and would never enter the palace!

He took out crumpled silver notes and coins from his pocket and placed them on the Emperor's table. "Your Majesty, I dare not use these silver notes."
