Although Gu Lingze said this in a joking tone, his face was cold.
As soon as the housekeeper saw his expression, he knew something bad had happened, and he hurriedly bowed to Uncle Xu. After all, his master had something important to ask of him.
Gu Lingze glanced at him sideways. There was no point in arguing with such a person.
So he waved his hand and said, "Mr. Zhen came to my farm so early in the morning. I'm afraid he has something important to tell you."
"Master Gu, please understand. I do have something urgent to ask of you."
After the last amulet, Mr. Zhen seemed even more respectful when he met Gu Lingze this time.
"Then come in and sit down first." After saying that, he turned and walked into the yard.
"Master Gu, please stay. This matter is urgent and there is no time to waste. Could you please get on the carriage first and we can talk while walking?"
Mr. Zhen spoke quickly and urgently, and seemed to be really anxious.
At this time, Zhao Chengmo walked to the door from the village road, glanced at the few people standing here, and turned to look at Gu Lingze.
Seeing Zhao Chengmo coming, he felt more relieved that there was at least one martial artist in the family.
"I have something to do outside, please help me look after the house."
Gu Lingze said this because he was afraid that the Shen family would cause trouble again when he was away, and he believed that Zhao Chengmo had the ability to help prevent it.
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. Zhao Chengmo looked at him seriously and said, "Don't worry, I'm here."
After a pause, he continued, "Come back soon, Jinzi and the others are waiting for you."
It turns out that Ice Face can care about others. Gu Lingze thought about it and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I gave Brother Wu's prescription to Doctor Li. Two plasters a day will be enough."
After saying that, Gu Lingze turned around and got on the carriage at the door. Mr. Zhen, who had been waiting anxiously for a long time, followed him nimbly. The carriage drove quickly towards the village entrance.
"It's so early in the morning, and you didn't even let Lingze eat a bite of food. What's the matter? You're so anxious about it."
Aunt Tao was somewhat dissatisfied. After all, the whole family knew about Yunlai Restaurant and had a bad impression of Mr. Zhen.
"Go in, Lingze will probably tell us when he comes back." Uncle Xu said.
"What urgent matter is there? Tell me now."
Gu Lingze felt that this carriage was not much better. There were no shock-absorbing devices in ancient times, and it was shaking him badly.
"I have a sister who married the prefect of the prefectural city. After so many years, she only had a little boy. Now she is finally pregnant, but something strange happened."
It turned out that the sister of this Zhen Juren had been married to the Tongpan for many years, but she only had a little boy. She had been very anxious in recent years. She had many concubines in the family, but none of them had any children.
I finally got pregnant again this autumn, but every night I felt like I was haunted by a dark cloud and couldn't sleep well.
I also asked someone to come and take a look, but it didn't help at all.
Last night, the black energy suddenly appeared and drilled into his sister's abdomen with great force, causing her to suffer from severe abdominal pain and cold sweat.
Just as he was about to give up, the blessing of peace given by Mr. Zhen floated up from his chest and slapped it directly, and the black gas disappeared with a hissing sound.
"My sister sent someone to find me overnight, and I came to ask for help before dawn. I hope you can forgive me." After saying this, he bowed sincerely.
After hearing this, Gu Lingze looked at Mr. Zhen with a smile.
Apart from anything else, all of the Tongpan's concubines had no children. It seemed that the sister of this Zhen Juren was not a good person either.
Mr. Zhen felt a little confused when he was looked at by Gu Lingze. He wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead and could only wait for the other party to respond.
The carriage sped along the way, and after entering the city, it stopped at the gate of a house.
After seeing Mr. Zhen's sister, Gu Lingze found that she was very different from what he had imagined.
The magistrate's surname was Jiang, and Zhen Juren's sister was called Madam Jiang. Gu Lingze looked at her face as soon as he met her.
Although Mrs. Jiang's eyes were not big, they were round and bright, her earlobes were thick and slightly drooping, her cheekbones were flat and fleshy, and her nose was round. She had a kind heart and a gentle temperament.
This is interesting. Gu Lingze raised his eyebrows. If the wife is gentle, polite and kind to others, how come all the concubines are childless?
"Master Gu, please take a seat. This time, it is all thanks to your talisman that my mother and I are safe." Mrs. Jiang lowered her head and touched her belly with a loving look in her eyes.
"Madam, you are too polite. However, this blessing of peace can only guarantee temporary peace, not peace for a lifetime." Both of them were uneasy after hearing what Gu Lingze said.
"Master, you have to save my sister. She is pregnant. We can't..." Gu Lingze raised his hand to interrupt Mr. Zhen.
"Since I'm here, I want to solve the problem, but everything in the world has the law of cause and effect. First of all, we have to figure out the source of the matter. If it's just evil spirits harming people, then it's easy to solve." Gu Lingze said.
"Master, please feel free to ask for anything you want. We will definitely cooperate." The most important thing at the moment is to save the fetus in her belly. Nothing else matters.
"May I ask, Madam, have all the other concubines of the magistrate ever been pregnant before? Or have they been pregnant but failed to keep the baby?" Gu Lingze's question was very direct.
Madam Jiang smiled bitterly after hearing this: "I know what the master meant. People in this city say that I am jealous and sour, which caused my master to have no children and only have one little boy."
"But I have never used any shady means in this backyard. My master also goes to these concubines' rooms to rest from time to time, and I have never stopped him." Mrs. Jiang said with grievance, her eyes slightly red.
"But for some reason, none of my husband's concubines or maids have gotten pregnant except me."
"Over the years, my husband has been suspicious of me and has not treated me the same way as before." After saying this, she burst into tears, and Mrs. Jiang hurriedly wiped her tears with a handkerchief.
Mr. Zhen also looked distressed after hearing these words. Although he was cunning and calculating, he had loved his youngest sister since she was a child.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have been so worried that I didn't even sleep and went to invite Gu Lingze early in the morning.
"Madam, you misunderstood." Gu Lingze said with a hint of gentleness on his face.
"Before I met Madam, I also thought that since a concubine had no children, I wondered if it was because the wife was jealous. But after I met Madam, I saw that she had a kind face, so I knew that Madam had not done anything to harm others."
After hearing what Gu Lingze said, Mrs. Jiang calmed down a little. Just as she was about to speak, a servant came in and said that the master had returned.
After a while, Jiang Tongwei appeared at the door of the main hall with an unexpected look on his face.
When he came in, he just nodded to Mr. Zhen and called him "brother", but did not say anything to Gu Lingze.
Gu Lingze looked at Jiang Tongwei who came in. On his shoulders were a mother and son ghost. The corners of his mouth slowly stretched into a playful arc.
I see.
The little ghost on Jiang Tongwei's shoulder saw his expression and immediately bared his fangs at him, with black air coming out of his mouth.
