"The day before yesterday, I had the same dream as when I was a child. In the dream, my grandfather told me that the evil thing affecting the feng shui of my Zhong family was next to his grave. That's why I asked Miss Xie to come and help."
Zhong Yuxiu said with a smile, and with just one sentence, she silenced all the questions from the elders of the Zhong family.
She turned to look at the only old man in the group, her eyes gentle and harmless, and asked with concern: "Wasn't Third Uncle unwell a few days ago? Is he feeling better now?"
The Zhong family generally has a short lifespan. Zhong Yuxiu's grandfather's generation passed away many years ago. Only this third uncle was lucky. Twenty years ago, when he was ill, he happened to meet Chong Li who was passing by. He was saved by the other party and his health improved a lot.
Although he fell ill from time to time in recent years, he miraculously lived to this day and became the only long-lived person in the Zhong family who lived past the age of 60 in all these years.
Therefore, his status and prestige in the Zhong family are quite high, second only to the head of the family, Zhong, and the eldest daughter, Zhong Yuxiu.
Uncle Zhong was originally a little angry, but when he met Zhong Yuxiu's clear almond eyes, his anger suddenly subsided and his expression subconsciously softened. He said, "Thanks to the heart-protecting pills you sent me, this attack is much better than before. It only took a day for it to heal."
Zhong Yuxiu smiled and said, "That's right. Thanks to Miss Xie for developing this heart-protecting pill, my dad also said that he's had fewer attacks recently and he feels a lot more relaxed."
Uncle Zhong was stunned for a moment, looked at Zhong Yuxiu, and then at Xie Xihe.
Well, now I can't even vent the little bit of anger I have left.
Originally, Zhong Yuxiu said that it was she who hired someone to dig up her grandfather's grave, so he couldn't say anything. Now that the person has done him a favor, he can't say anything to blame her.
Uncle Zhong had a conflicted look on his face, not knowing whether he should leave or stay and see what happened.
Zhong Miao didn't expect that Uncle Zhong San had already decided to back out before the meeting even started. He was so angry that his nose was crooked.
While winking at Zhong Siyuan, asking him to take people to stop Zhu Ming and the others, he forced a smile and said, "Yuxiu, Second Uncle isn't criticizing you, but since you dreamed of your grandfather again, and this time your grandfather told you the location of the evil creature, you should have informed the family immediately so that they can handle it."
He pointed at Xie Xihe and then at Zhong Yuxiu, and said with a smile, "Look at you two little girls. You just ran to the ancestral tomb and dug up your grandfather's grave. Isn't this inappropriate?"
Xie Xihe corrected him: "I didn't dig the grave, I just dug a hole next to it."
Zhong Miao: “…”
Xie Xihe was no more cautious and fearful than he was with Zhong Yuxiu. He said with a dark face, "Whether you're digging a grave or a hole, this is the ancestral tomb of my Zhong family. You, an outsider..."
"She's not an outsider, she's a benefactor." Zhong Yuxiu interrupted Zhong Miao and said seriously, "The reason I asked Miss Xie for help is because my grandfather emphasized in his dream that Miss Xie is my family's benefactor. Only she can resolve the Zhong family's calamity."
Zhong Miao laughed out loud: "She is a noble of the Zhong family?"
Zhong Miao looked her up and down, his eyes etched with barely concealed contempt. "She's just a little girl. First, she doesn't have a strong background, and second, she doesn't have much ability. She only knows a little bit of medical skills. You said your grandfather told her in a dream that she was a member of the Zhong family. Isn't that ridiculous?"
He looked at Zhong Yuxiu as if she were an ignorant child, and said earnestly, "Yuxiu, you are too kind-hearted. You rarely go out, and you don't understand how treacherous people are. You just trust anyone who gives you a little benefit or helps you a little."
"It's true that Miss Xie saved you, but our Zhong family paid the Xie family and their daughter every penny of the compensation and medical expenses they deserved. We even gave them a generous amount. Treating illnesses and saving lives is a doctor's duty. How can that be worthy of your remembering her kindness?"
"It's so good that they put an outsider before their own family. Even such a big matter directly bypassed the family and asked for help from outsiders instead."
Zhong Siyuan had just arrived with his men near Zhu Ming and the others. Zhong Miao took a look and gave a direct order: "Regardless of whether the dream is true or false, we must wait until the family discusses it before deciding whether to look for this so-called evil creature. When to look for it, we will stop here today."
He raised his voice and shouted, "Siyuan, bring the man back and fill in the gaps as before!"
Zhong Siyuan immediately agreed and prepared to take action with his men.
“Who dares!”
A soft but resounding voice rang out. Zhong Yuxiu looked straight at the men behind Zhong Siyuan and said calmly, "I'd like to see who dares to stop me today."
Except for Zhong Siyuan, the other guards and servants subconsciously paused, looked at Zhong Yuxiu, and then at Zhong Miao, and for a moment they really didn't dare to move.
The Zhong family has a long history and is a family of wealth and power. The more aristocratic a family is, the stricter the family rules are and the more concentrated the power is.
In the Zhong family, no matter which room the servants and guards were assigned to, everyone knew that they had only two real masters - the head of the family and the eldest daughter.
The main family is always superior to the side branches.
It would have been fine if Zhong Yuxiu was still sickly, but once Zhong Yuxiu died, the head of the Zhong family would have had to adopt a son from a side branch to inherit the Zhong family no matter how reluctant he was.
As the closest blood relative, Zhong Siyuan has the greatest possibility of being adopted.
Even the servants were willing to do Zhong Miao and his son a favor.
But during this period of time, the eldest lady's illness seemed to have improved a lot, and the head of the family's complexion also improved a lot, so the Zhong family is still firmly in the hands of the head family.
The Zhong Miao lineage, to put it nicely, is the second branch of the Zhong family. To put it bluntly, there is not much difference between them and the guards and servants. They all have to live by the master's mood.
In this case, it is quite obvious which is more important.
The servants and guards exchanged glances and finally stopped in tacit understanding.
Zhong Siyuan's face looked extremely ugly, and the resentment and unwillingness that he had deliberately ignored so far surged into his heart again.
He gritted his teeth, raised his hand and grabbed the shoulder of Xuan San, who was closest to him, and said angrily: "My Zhong family's ancestral tomb is not something you can touch whenever you want. Get out of here!"
He believed that he had been training diligently and had quite good skills and strength. He thought that he could at least lift the person up with this grab. However, he didn't expect that, let alone lifting him up, the other person didn't even move.
Zhong Siyuan was stunned.
Before he could come to his senses, Xuan San shook his shoulders gently.
Immediately, a huge force came and Zhong Siyuan was knocked over.
At the same time, Zhu Ming's eyes lit up across from him, and with a flick of his wrist he dug out something buried deep underground: "Found it!"
