Nangong Yunxue shook her head.
"I'm not sure. Wuwang is already sixty years old, and Taoist Qingchen is probably around a hundred years old."
Liu Hao smiled and reminded: "Lingyin Temple has existed for more than three hundred years."
"You mean, Taoist Qingchen is over three hundred years old?"
"Well! He is a master of Taoism, so it's not surprising that he can live for a long time."
Nangong Yunxue looked at the people leaving and said, "Jiu'er said that we can also live a long life."
"Well, we're going to stay together forever."
Wutong Courtyard.
The servant led the few people into Wutong Courtyard, settled them down, and then left.
Taoist Qingchen and Wuwang then both knelt and saluted: "Qingchen greets the Ninth Lord!"
"Disciple pays homage to Grandmaster!"
"Well, get up! Mother and the others will stay here until the end of October before returning to the capital.
I have nothing to do in Xiyue now, so I want to take you on a tour around here."
"Thank you, Jiujun!"
"Thank you, Master!"
Nangong Jiu looked at the master and disciple and said: "Let's go to Nanjin first, and then to the snow-capped mountains of Beiyue."
Wuwang was overjoyed: "It is much closer from here to the Snow Mountain. Last time, my disciple wanted to go there but didn't have time.
I heard there are thousand-year-old snow lotuses up there, let's try our luck and pick some to nourish our master's family."
"Well, you're thoughtful!"
Nangong Jiu used his spiritual sense to explore.
"Your cultivation has improved rapidly. You need to practice more to consolidate your foundation. This trip to the snowy mountains is a good opportunity for us.
After March next year, we will go to the Magic Forest again, and then it will all depend on your luck."
At the end of the next day.
Nangong Yunxue was counting the winter clothes delivered by Jinxiu Garment Shop.
The maid Qingyuan ran in with an angry look on her face.
"Madam, the young ladies who were looking for trouble at Jinxiu Clothing Shop the other day have come and said they want to ask for forgiveness from you and the princess."
"Looking for us? Where are they?"
"He's kneeling at the gate, neither coming in nor leaving. Passersby are pointing and talking. You should go and take a look."
Nangong Yunxue frowned: "If they really came to ask for forgiveness, they shouldn't be kneeling outside the mansion. Let's go and take a look."
As he said this, he put down what he was doing and walked out first.
When they arrived at the gate of the mansion, they saw four people kneeling in an orderly manner outside the mansion.
"Ladies, what are you doing?"
When Pang Ying saw Nangong Yunxue, she quickly knelt down and took a few steps: "Madam Xue, we offended you that day, please forgive us!"
"It's over now, ladies, please go back."
"Madam, these past few days, we haven't even dared to leave the house. The people have been throwing rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves at the gate of our mansion. Even those in the mansion who go out are chased and beaten by the people.
Even my brothers and sisters came to cancel the arranged marriages, and we can no longer live happily.
We have let you down, please forgive us, we know we were wrong!"
After saying that, he kowtowed.
Several other young ladies followed suit.
Nangong Yunxue was shocked.
So serious?
Judging from their expressions, they don't seem to be pretending.
Then he nodded and said, "Okay, you can go back. I forgive you."
However, a few people continued to kowtow.
"Madam, please help us talk to the gods and ask them to forgive us!"
"Okay, I'll tell her, you guys go back."
However, several people continued to kowtow, and the people, not knowing why, stretched their necks to look.
Several people said in unison: "Madam, please ask the gods to speak to the people and ask them to stop making things difficult for us."
Nangong Yunxue squinted her eyes and looked at the few people.
"You want the gods to intervene and persuade the people not to embarrass you?"
"Yes, please ask the gods to explain this to the people, please!"
"Explain what?"
"Just say it was a misunderstanding."
Nangong Yunxue's face immediately darkened.
"Ladies, this is not a misunderstanding. You did bully me, but the gods didn't wrong you. Why do you have to explain to the people?
You let the gods lie for you. What do you think the gods are? Are they just servants in your house, at your beck and call?
How outrageous!
Go back, it's impossible!"
Nangong Yunxue turned around and returned to the mansion and gave the order.
"close the door!"
A moment later.
Nangong Jiu, who was sleeping, was dug out by Nangong Yunxue.
"Jiuer, get up quickly!
A few days ago, the ladies who were causing trouble at Jinxiu Clothing Store came here and said they were looking for you."
Nangong Jiu woke up instantly.
What do they want from me?
“At first, he said he came to beg us, asking for forgiveness from us and the gods.
Later, they said they were being targeted by the people and asked the gods to explain to the people. They are now kneeling at the gate of the mansion."
Nangong Jiu became famous overnight.
Are they asking for forgiveness? This is persecution! Why should the gods explain? They haven't wronged them.
Qing Yuan reminded: "Madam, Princess, this is a common trick used by the women in the harem.
First, we want to let the people see that we are just and unyielding, so that everyone will sympathize with them.
Secondly, they want to use this opportunity to force us to ask the gods to come forward to clarify the matter and ask the people to stop targeting them.
In this way, they can use the gods as a shield, not only to get out of trouble, but also to benefit from it."
Nangong Yunxue nodded to Qingyuan and waved her hand.
When only the mother and daughter were left in the room, she said, "Jiu'er, mother will go and drive them away. There's no need for you to be angry with them."
"They're plotting against us, how could I possibly let them succeed? Mother, please don't worry about this. I want them to regret coming here."
"What are you going to do?"
