Before Jiang Li could ask a question, Song Gui had already led the group outside the car.
The strange atmosphere that had been lingering in the car vanished instantly when this group of people appeared.
Jiang Li hurriedly got out of the car and went into the Song family's house.
Lu Shiyan also got out of the car.
Song Gui had met Lu Shiyan before. He nodded to Lu Shiyan and then hurriedly led everyone toward his father's room.
The incense had finished burning, but the lingering fragrance still filled the room.
Jiang Li had someone open the window and then took out a silver needle from her bag.
After quickly inserting a few needles into Master Song's body, Jiang Li immediately took two steps back.
"Don't stand in front of the bed, move aside."
As she left, Jiang Li didn't forget to remind those around her.
Before anyone could react, they could only watch helplessly as Master Song suddenly sat up, spat out a mouthful of black blood, and then collapsed again.
I was terrified! Luckily I wasn't standing by the bed, or the blood would have sprayed all over me.
"Father!" Song Gui was startled and immediately went forward to check on him, but Jiang Li stopped him.
Jiang Li took out a talisman and quickly stuck it onto the black blood.
Visibly, a cloud of black energy was being suppressed by the talisman. The black energy then became increasingly dense and adhered to the talisman, while the black blood on the ground gradually turned into its normal color.
Once the blood had completely returned to normal color, the talisman was completely enveloped in black mist.
Jiang Li threw out another talisman.
The two talismans ignited immediately upon touching each other.
The black aura was also burned completely.
"Alright, you can go now," Jiang Li said to Song Gui.
Song Gui sat down on the edge of the bed and tried to grab Master Song's hand.
The next second...
His hand was dismissed with disdain.
"You brat, what are you trying to do?" Master Song woke up and roared at Song Gui, "Are you trying to take advantage of me while I'm asleep to make me sign some humiliating treaty that would cede national sovereignty? Let me tell you, I will not agree to your idea of abandoning the family business and going out to do nothing!"
A bitter smile appeared on Song Gui's face.
He turned to look at Jiang Li, "Miss Jiang, did you hear that? My father will not agree."
Jiang Li waved her hand, signaling Song Gui to go aside.
Song Gui immediately abandoned his elderly father and stood next to Lu Shiyan.
"Miss Jiang?" Master Song looked at Jiang Li immediately upon hearing this address.
Then his eyes lit up, and he immediately struggled to get up, wanting to go to Jiang Li's side.
Jiang Li got there first and walked to his side.
"You must be Jiang Li, my little ancestor?" Master Song looked at Jiang Li with great affection, a completely different attitude from how he treated his own son. "You're really good-looking."
"Master Song, do you know why you fell into a coma?" Jiang Li nodded and asked directly without any formalities.
Master Song then remembered what had happened earlier. He blinked and said, "I... I was unconscious? I remember buying spices, making incense, lighting it, and then falling asleep... When I woke up, I saw you all here... What exactly happened?"
"You didn't process the rouge properly before using it in the incense, and that's why you're trapped in a dream," Jiang Li summarized simply, then began to scold him, "You're not a child anymore, you should have plenty of knowledge and experience, how come you don't even know how to process rouge? And you even caused the shop owner who sold you the product to have his shop smashed up by your apprentice!"
Master Song: "..."
"By the way, I also heard that you want your son to inherit the family business?" Jiang Li's gaze swept over Song Gui beside her, and finally fell back on Master Song.
“My dear son, he’s my only son. If he doesn’t inherit this family business, who will?” Master Song said with a headache.
“He has no affinity for metaphysics, forcing him won’t do any good.” Jiang Li looked at Master Song with a strange expression. “With your level of expertise, you can’t possibly not see that, can you?”
Master Song choked, and his face also turned somewhat ugly.
There was nothing he could do; none of his many apprentices had any talent.
Under such circumstances, he had no choice but to whip his own son.
We can't let his family business go to waste in our hands, can we?
This is something he cannot and will not accept.
"Father, since you know I have no talent in this area, why do you still force me?" Song Gui understood the meaning behind the conversation between the two.
But he couldn't understand why they would do it if they knew he couldn't do it.
"I didn't want this either. I can't let the family business be ruined in my hands, can I?" Master Song said, somewhat annoyed.
Jiang Li then slowly uttered a piercing remark, "You don't want the family business to be ruined in your hands, but you think you can let it be ruined in your son's hands?"
Master Song: "..."
Song Gui: "..."
“But…” Master Song hesitated for a moment, then said, “The divination I performed for him shows that although he has no talent, he is the foundation for the continuation of the family business. So I have no choice but to force him. He may not have talent now, but he might have it in the future.”
"Do you even believe what you're saying?" Jiang Li asked speechlessly.
Master Song: "..."
What else could he do but try anything as a last resort?
"Have you ever considered that his ability to allow the Song family to continue might simply be a matter of literal meaning?" Jiang Li casually remarked.
"Wh...what do you mean?" Master Song didn't react for a moment.
“Continue…” Jiang Li was already trying her best to remind him.
"You mean..." Master Song suddenly realized, and said with a surprised tone, "His child is the future of the Song family?"
After a pause, Master Song's expression turned sour again. "He's all alone now. When will he be able to give me an heir?"
“Your Song family is all men. If you want to have an heir, staying at home is obviously not an option,” Jiang Li said coolly. “Only by going out can he meet girls and find his true love. If you keep him locked up at home all day, your grandson will never be able to get out.”
Master Song's expression still held a hint of struggle, then he looked at Jiang Li with a touch of hope, "Little Ancestor, what do you think of Song Gui? Is he worthy of your approval?"
Jiang Li is so capable; if she could be with Song Gui, he wouldn't have to worry about anything for the rest of his life.
Upon hearing his father's words, Song Gui felt a surge of anticipation.
If Miss Jiang were to be in charge of the Song family, then he…
Um……
Stop!
This dream is too beautiful to be true.
but……
The weather was fine, so why did he suddenly feel like the surroundings had suddenly turned cold?
Lu Shiyan coughed, then looked at Master Song with a half-smile and asked, "Master Song, do you still remember me?"
If he wasn't mistaken, the master who had previously divined his marriage prospects was the one standing before him.
Master Song only noticed Lu Shiyan standing to the side when he heard the voice.
"You...you are?" Master Song felt that Lu Shiyan looked familiar, but because he had just woken up and his head was still a little dizzy, he couldn't remember for a moment.
“My surname is Lu, and the old lady of the Lu family is my mother,” Lu Shiyan reminded her.
Master Song: "!!!"
He remembered!
Isn't this the Lu family matriarch who insisted that he predict her marriage?
His gaze instantly fell on Jiang Li.
His gaze darted back and forth between the two men, until finally a look of despair appeared on his face.
Waaaaah...
What a pity.
His chosen daughter-in-law had just left him before he could even get to know her.
