Su Yujiao was taken aback, and a strange sense of panic rose in her heart. Could it be that this Taoist priest had seen through her time travel?
She didn't feel that she had great luck; on the contrary, she felt that her transmigration was miserable.
"Master, do you know who harmed me?"
Master Xuanqing calculated with his fingers and pointed to a window on the second floor of the teahouse across the street, saying, "That room has the heaviest evil energy!"
Zhou was furious: "Men, go and find the person who's pretending to be a ghost!"
Across the street, Chen Yunniang saw through a crack in the window that Master Xuanqing was pointing at this window, and as he pointed, everyone looked over.
She stood frozen in place, as if locked by countless gazes, and it took her a long time to come to her senses.
When the general's guards and onlookers rushed into the teahouse, the private rooms were already empty.
The teahouse owner thought something serious had happened and rushed upstairs to inquire about the situation.
Where is the guest in this room?
We should go!
"Is it a man or a woman?"
"It was a woman. I remember she was wearing a light pink dress, but she was wearing a veil, so I couldn't see her face."
The crowd gasped; it was indeed a woman.
It turns out that some shameless women really were playing dirty tricks behind my back.
Some women shouted indignantly, "Taoist priest, quickly give Madam Lu a curse talisman to curse those shameless little bitches to death!"
Master Xuanqing shook his head, saying that he did not have any curse talismans, and that such things would damage one's merits, so others should not try them.
"So you're just going to let that harmful slut get away with it so easily?"
Everyone stared at Master Xuanqing, who suddenly produced a yellow talisman with symbols drawn on it in cinnabar that no one could understand.
"I have a reflective talisman here. As long as I collect the evil energy left behind by the villain, I can reflect all her malice back."
"Cause and effect are cyclical, good and evil are rewarded accordingly, and those who harm others will eventually be plagued by bad karma and will not have a good end."
The talisman was then turned around in the room and spontaneously combusted in front of everyone.
Everyone gasped in amazement at the incredible scene.
"Thank you, Daoist Master."
"No need for thanks, young friend. We'll meet again someday."
After the old Taoist priest finished speaking, the onlookers spontaneously made way for him.
Su Yujiao stared at his back, feeling that the old man had some real skills.
When I returned from the teahouse, the old woman was still kneeling in front of the general's mansion, holding her grandson.
"Please, kind sir, save my grandson."
Zhou was furious. If this old woman hadn't been deceived into coming here to cause trouble, she wouldn't have attracted a crowd of people to watch the spectacle.
Su Yujiao didn't want to get involved, because the illness was incurable. Although expensive medicines could keep her alive, the two of them simply couldn't afford it.
"Please, kind sir, save my grandson."
"The Taoist priest said that you are a blessed person who can bring good luck to those around you. As long as a benefactor is willing to lend a helping hand, my grandson will definitely get better."
"This old woman is willing to serve you like a slave."
Zhou's eyes widened. Was this old woman trying to cling to Jiaojiao?
Zhou gave Steward Wang a wink, and Steward Wang stepped forward to shoo her away: "Old lady, you should go back now. We don't need any servants in our household."
"Besides, you're so old, and you have a sick child to take care of. What can you do?"
The old woman knelt and refused to leave, repeatedly saying that her grandson was very well-behaved and wouldn't interfere with her work.
“My sir, I know how to deliver babies. I’m a famous midwife in our village. This old woman can help you give birth.”
As the old woman spoke, she reached out and touched Su Yujiao's belly, then said with certainty, "My lord, this baby of yours is clearly twins."
"Twin pregnancies are more prone to difficult labor, requiring an experienced midwife."
Su Yujiao subconsciously dodged her hand, her eyelids twitching involuntarily. Why were all the people she met today so strange?
Her belly wasn't obvious at all, yet this old woman could tell she was pregnant and even confidently said she was carrying twins.
Is she just making things up to save her grandson?
Upon hearing this, Zhou couldn't help but glance at Su Yujiao, afraid that she would be reminded of her painful memories.
This also confirmed my belief that the old woman was deceiving me.
"Butler, get rid of them!"
"Jiaojiao, let's go back."
"Um."
After returning home, Su Yujiao wrote a prescription and gave some silver to Xiao Tao.
"Have Tiger follow that grandmother and grandson to their village to inquire. If she really is a midwife, give her the prescription and the money; it will be very useful in the future."
Xiao Tao understood immediately: Miss will need to find a midwife who can keep her mouth shut when she gives birth.
This old woman needs something from the young lady, so she is undoubtedly the best choice.
Xiao Tao took the silver and went out the back door, handing it to the little beggar in the alley.
Tiger is just ten years old this year. Despite his young age, he is clever and quick-witted, and can read and write.
He studied with his scholar father for a few years when he was young, but later he fled with his parents due to a plague.
Tiger's parents died on the road, and he begged his way to the capital alone.
When he arrived in the capital, he discovered that his aunt's family had moved away long ago, leaving him with no choice but to continue begging.
By chance, he met Xiaotao and has been helping her with various tasks ever since.
That evening, Hu Zi brought back news that Granny Sun was indeed a well-known midwife in the surrounding villages of Qingshui Town.
She earns her living by delivering babies; otherwise, her grandson would have been unable to afford medicine long ago.
Su Yujiao nodded: "Have Hu Zi make another trip, and have her bring her grandson over every two weeks so I can diagnose the child and adjust the medication according to his condition."
"Tell her clearly that her grandson's illness is incurable and can only be prolonged with medication."
“If she is willing to do things for me, I will treat her grandson’s illness.”
"Let's agree on the location at the Peony Shop."
"yes."
Just as Xiao Tao was about to go out, Su Yujiao asked, "Hasn't he come back yet?"
"The general just returned. He heard about what happened this morning and left in a rage. He's probably going to settle scores with that vixen Chen Yunniang."
Su Yujiao pouted, "Going there would be a waste of time!"
Chen Yunniang always had a way of calming his anger, and in the end, he would feel sorry for her and even feel guilty for taking his anger out on her.
Ah, she no longer had any hope for that person.
"Okay, you can go now."
At this moment, Lu Ziqian was indeed questioning Chen Yunniang in the Orchid Garden.
Chen Yunniang readily admitted, "Yes! I did it."
“Look at my face, it’s all thanks to her.”
"If she can deliberately mess with me, why can't I get revenge on her?"
"I may have a worthless life, but I'm not someone to be trifled with. Even if I die, I'll take her down with me!!"
Chen Yunniang simply gave up and stopped pretending, telling Lu Ziqian clearly that she was deliberately getting revenge on Su Yujiao.
Lu Ziqian looked at Chen Yunniang's swollen and bruised face, and the hatred in her eyes.
He sighed helplessly. How did things turn out like this?
How did two perfectly good girls turn into fighting cocks, constantly vying for attention and never having a peaceful time?
