Watching Fubao finish drinking the goat milk and fall into a deep sleep again, Wang Yanran looked at her four sons.
"We've already used up all our money on the porridge distribution today. Next we need to think of a way to make money."
"Mom, we will find a job tomorrow. As long as we work hard, our lives will definitely get better." Gu Jinan comforted her.
When he was giving out porridge, he had already decided that he had to find a way to make money. If possible, he wanted to continue giving out porridge, after all, this would help his sister's luck increase the fastest.
"Oh, it would be great if I could continue giving out porridge to accumulate luck. Once my sister has enough luck, she won't have to worry about Gu Fengxi snatching it away."
Gu Jinding's face was filled with worry, he couldn't bear to see his sister become weak again.
"Take it one step at a time. Let's find a job tomorrow."
Gu Jinbang looked at his sleeping sister and tightened his fist unconsciously. One day he would kill Gu Fengxi to avenge his sister!
"What the second brother said is that we have nothing now, so we can only take it bit by bit."
Suddenly, Fubao, who was sleeping soundly, giggled.
"Humph, if you try to steal my fortune, you will face a strong backlash!"
The four of them, mother and children, suddenly looked at Fubao, but saw that Fubao was sleeping soundly, blowing bubbles, obviously dreaming.
"Is what my sister said true?"
It would be great if it were true. It would be best if Gu Fengxi was struck by lightning, so that everyone would know that she is not a good person, Gu Jinding thought angrily.
"It should be true. My sister's thoughts have never been wrong."
Gu Jinan's anger subsided a little, but his sister was still asleep at the moment, so whether his thoughts were true or not remained to be verified.
"Whether it's true or not, I'm sure there will be news soon."
Gu Jinbang sneered. Gu Fengxi was so high-profile that she would definitely attract many eyes. Any mistake she made would be magnified infinitely.
In Jing'an Temple, Gu Fengxi suddenly covered his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Miss Gu!"
The palace maid hurriedly supported her.
"Quick, call Master Yuanhe over."
Master Yuanhe was not only well versed in Buddhism, but also had extremely high medical skills. When the emperor was poisoned and no medicine could cure him, it was he who cured him.
"No, no, I'm fine."
Gu Fengxi tried to stop him in a panic. She knew that she was being attacked back.
If someone finds out and the news reaches the palace, she will probably lose her position as a saint.
"How can this be possible?"
The palace maid didn't dare let her endure it like this, so she went to call Master Yuanhe over.
"I heard that the Saint Girl vomited blood, so I came to take a look."
In fact, he had sensed something was wrong in the west wing long before Gu Fengxi vomited blood.
Now seeing Gu Fengxi's expression, he was even more certain that Gu Fengxi had suffered backlash.
"Sorry to bother Master Yuanhe, I'm fine."
Gu Fengxi tried her best to maintain her composure and didn't want Master Yuanhe to take her pulse.
But she overestimated this six-year-old body and passed out.
"Master Yuanhe, what's wrong with Miss Gu?"
The palace maid asked and said that he was vomiting blood and it looked very serious.
"It's not a disease, it's a backlash..."
Master Yuanhe explained that they were all the emperor's people, and he knew that these palace maids would pass the news back to the palace.
The rain Gu Fengxi summoned lasted only a day, but it was so light that it didn't completely improve the soil. Furthermore, the sun was even brighter after the rain, and instead of reviving the crops, they became even more withered.
Then, requests for rain came from the northwest again.
The emperor received news from Jing'an Temple and the northwest at the same time and slammed the table.
"Gu Fengxi is so good, he actually steals other people's luck to pray for rain!"
It would have been fine if they just prayed for rain, but they only prayed for a small amount of rain, which is not enough to solve the drought in the northwest.
People in the northwest are still begging Gu Fengxi for rain. She begged once and she was so upset that she vomited blood. How could there be a second time?
"Your Majesty, since Gu Fengxi obtained rain by stealing someone's luck, why not find someone who truly possesses luck and have them pray for rain? This will surely solve the drought in the northwest."
Eunuch Wan persuaded.
The emperor narrowed his eyes and said, "Then go and find out whose luck Gu Fengxi has taken away."
Soon, Master Yuanhe came with the news that Gu Fengxi had taken away the luck of a blood-related relative.
"It seems that the person with the greatest fortune is the child born to Wang Yanran!"
The emperor's heart moved slightly. He didn't know where the prince was going. He hoped that he could bring back the child with great fortune as soon as possible. This child must not be shown to outsiders.
After thinking about it, he called out the secret guards.
"Go tell the prince to persuade the child to pray for rain. If he succeeds, I will grant him the title of princess."
Gu Jinyu is blind and doesn't want this daughter, but he is very eager to have her.
With a daughter who is so lucky, they in Nanzhao will surely have great luck as well.
Eunuch Wan had an idea. If the child succeeded in praying for rain, his future would be limitless.
…
After Fubao recovered, the Gu brothers went out to find work.
But they were just young masters before, so how could they do any work? After searching for a whole day, they were met with nothing and finally returned home hungry.
Wang Yanran waited until dark but her brothers still hadn't returned. She anxiously wanted to go out and look for them. When she opened the gate, she found the four brothers standing at the door, their faces full of guilt and self-blame.
"It doesn't matter if I can't find work today. Xiangxi is a small place and there isn't much work. Maybe there will be some in a few days."
No one knows a child better than his mother. Wang Yanran knew what the four brothers were thinking at a glance.
"Your Uncle Fu left us a lot of food, enough to last us for a long time. We can look for work slowly."
Although her daughter's affairs are important, her son's affairs are equally important. They are all her flesh and blood, and she feels equally distressed about them.
