Chapter 41 Are you sure you can really sleep?
Cen Nan couldn't help but whisper a reminder: "County Lady, you can just keep things like rebellion in your mind, don't say it out loud."
Unexpectedly, Bu Ruo waved his hand nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter. There are no outsiders here anyway. Talking more is good for your physical and mental health. Otherwise, I will get angry every time I think of those two bastards."
Cen Nan said that Bu Ruo's behavior of cursing the emperor was... It was really satisfying. After all, he usually only dared to curse in his heart.
After Bu Ruo's business was done, everyone went back.
"Ruo'er, I'm going back to sleep. I'm really tired after running around for most of the night. I'll come find you when I wake up. My master should be here by then."
Bu Ruo stood at the gate of the mansion and grabbed Jin Congcong by the back of his neck: "Why are you leaving? The work is not finished yet, where are you going?"
"Not finished yet? What else is left to do? You told me to run away and I ran away. You told me to come back with flowers on my head and I came back. What else is there?"
Bu Ruo carried him towards the ancestral hall. "It's not that I can't let you go back to sleep, but can you sleep? With so many wronged souls hanging over your head, are you sure you can really sleep?"
"Why can't I sleep? I'm just tired..."
Jin Congcong suddenly stopped talking, staring at Bu Ruo in horror, not even moving his feet, just letting the other party drag him like that...
“Ruo… Ruo… Ruo’er…”
"What did you say? What did you say was on my head? I was a little tired and didn't hear clearly."
Bu Ruo smiled and brought the person in front of her: "No, you heard it clearly, it's the wronged souls, that's right, there are wronged souls on your head, many wronged souls, the kind that can't be counted."
"There are boys and girls, but most of them are children..."
"Ah!!! Stop it! Stop it!" Jin Congcong's sharp cry instantly resounded throughout the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion.
Servants: Why do I feel that the one with mental problems is not the young lady, but Mr. Jin?
In the ancestral hall
"Ruo'er greets all the ancestors of the Bu family. I'm so sorry to bother them so late at night~"
Ancestors: ...
Jin Congcong and Bi'er stood aside and watched Bu Ruo insert the incense into the incense burner, then sit cross-legged on the cushion... Yes, he sat cross-legged on the cushion, bargaining with the ancestors, using threats and inducements, and occasionally scolding them.
"Ancestors, our Bu family are all heroes, right? Even though you may not be humane to your own descendants, you can indeed be considered heroes to the Great Zhou."
"Hey~ Look at this oldest one. He once fought on the battlefield with the founding ancestor of the Great Zhou Dynasty."
"Look at this older one. No matter what, he saved the third generation emperor of the Xiao family. Otherwise, who knows what the Great Zhou would be like now."
"And this youngest one, yes, yes, I'm talking about you. Don't hide, look at me, yes, yes, look at me. You are the most useless of all these ancestors. I think I should call you grandfather."
"You've guarded the border for the Xiao family your entire life, and what happened? What happened to your sons, daughters-in-law, and grandchildren? Why didn't you rebel back then?"
"Hey, hey, hey? What are you chirping about? Don't be so quiet, speak louder so I can hear you."
"Sleepy? Who wouldn't be sleepy? I've been tossing and turning all night, wouldn't I be sleepy? And there's another one who's been running around all night."
"Since everyone is so tired, I'll make it short."
Bu Ruo stood up and walked to Jin Congcong, pointing a finger at the top of his head: "Dear ancestors, please look this way..."
"Hey? Shut up! Do you want to listen to me or you? Come back! Let's see who dares to leave. I'm going to dig up our ancestors' graves!"
"That's right, sit down and look at me!"
Jin Congcong: ...
Beau: ...
"Since you all claim to be heroes of the Great Zhou, and now that the people of the Great Zhou are in trouble, shouldn't you lend a hand and offer some help?"
"Don't tell me you're dead and can't care about that. Even death has its uses. You can do things that living people can't."
"Don't leave!"
"I'm not here to discuss anything with you. I'm here to inform you. These wronged souls are now in your care. They were harmed by someone, and they have too much evil energy in them. Even if they reincarnate directly, they won't be reborn into a good family."
"Since you have so much merit and golden light on your bodies, but you're unwilling to use it to protect your own descendants, there's no point in keeping it. So, just bear with the trouble and save these wronged souls. Hmm... With so many of you, I guess three days will be enough."
"Don't bargain, just three days, not a day more!"
"Okay, it's settled. I'll leave them all here and come back to save them from reincarnation in three days."
After Bu Ruo finished speaking, she reached out and plucked the black flower on Jin Congcong's head and threw it on the ground, then left with the two of them without looking back.
Bang~bang~
"What's that sound?"
Jin Congcong looked back at the flickering ancestral hall and felt his legs go weak with fear, even though he didn't see anything.
"It's nothing, the ancestors are just angry. Don't pay attention to them, they are all like children."
"Aren't you sleepy? There's nothing for you to do now, you can go back to sleep."
Jin Congcong watched Bu Ruo walking further and further away, and hurriedly ran back to his yard and hid himself in the quilt.
He had a dream that night. In the dream, many children were surrounding him and playing with him, and many men and women he didn't know thanked him, which made him feel embarrassed.
…
Bu Ruo slept until noon the next day.
"Miss, you're awake! Master Jin has been waiting in the yard for a long time. But this time he didn't make a noise. He just sat there quietly, which was quite unusual."
Bu Ruo said as she washed her face, "Don't pay attention to him. I think he's mentally ill. Wait for Doctor Du to come and take a good look at him."
Bi'er chuckled: "Miss, actually, last night you asked Master Jin to carry those wronged souls and sent them to the ancestral hall. In fact, you were accumulating merit for him, right?"
"Although I don't understand, I always feel that Master Jin looks a little different today than before, but I can't tell what the difference is."
Bu Ruo lightly tapped Bi'er's forehead: "You are so perceptive. He should have changed a little bit, for example... he is a little closer to death."
Beau: ...
Bu Ruo had just finished cleaning up when he heard Jin Congcong's voice coming from outside.
"Master, you're here! Why are you here so late? Ruo'er... Ruo'er... wuwu..."
"Ruo'er...what happened to her? I'm already going at my fastest speed. I've even changed horses several times."
"Wuwu... If you don't come soon, Ruo'er will torture me to death. She has been very irritable these past few days, beating me up at the slightest provocation and even asking me to run laps in the middle of the night."
