Chapter 76: Asking for the Taoist Priest’s advice, how to extract bones to make medicine?
Shopkeeper Wen quickly handed him another deed and said kindly, "Sir Lu, if you sign this deed, I will return the deed to Linyao to you."
Lu Changqing looked down and his eyes trembled: "Divorce letter?"
"Lord Lu, please take a close look at this divorce agreement and sign it if you are willing." Shopkeeper Wen smiled sincerely, as if he was talking about something happy.
"Fang took away her dowry and...her children?" Lu Changqing stood up with a ferocious smile on his face and said to Xiao Mingzhe, "If Your Majesty wants me to let Fang go, this condition is not enough!"
Xiao Mingzhe looked at the man in front of him coldly and said in a deep voice: "I hate people who bargain the most."
The oppressive feeling from the royal family spread along his line of sight and soon filled the entire study. Even Shopkeeper Wen shuddered, but Lu Changqing still stood with his head held high.
He has read the books of sages for many years, so at least he seems to have some integrity and will not easily bow to power.
"Your Highness, have you ever heard the saying, 'Marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog!'" Lu Changqing raised his arm and pointed in the direction of Meihuaao, his pride overflowing from his words, "Fang is my wife, Lu Changqing. Even if I sell her to a brothel, I will never let her go free!"
The room was quiet for a moment.
Shopkeeper Wen was about to speak when he was stopped by Xiao Mingzhe's look.
"Since Lord Lu has made up his mind, I will not force him. Wenhan, give him the previous contract to sign." Xiao Mingzhe's tone remained calm.
Shopkeeper Wen handed the land sale deed to Lu Changqing, and this time he signed it without saying anything.
What Lu Changqing was thinking was: If he wants to sell the ancestral home, then sell it. He will fall into hell anyway, and Fang Qianxue can’t escape either, she will have to go to hell with him!
"Master, it's signed." Manager Wen brought the signed contract back to show King Beining.
"Let's go." Xiao Mingzhe stood up, shook his robe and walked out.
Shopkeeper Wen hurriedly chased after him.
"Master! Master, he..."
"Shut up!" Xiao Mingzhe stopped and looked back at the study room with murderous intent all over him.
"Yes." Shopkeeper Wen lowered his head.
The master is angry, so he can't get involved in this matter.
In Meihuaao, Fang Qianxue was spreading the skirt from Jinxiuzhai on the table and admiring the embroidery.
"Second Master, Second Master, you can't go in..." The maidservant blocked his way outside, but Lu Changqing still broke in.
As soon as he came in, he yelled at Fang Qianxue, "Who told you to take the things from Jinxiuzhai? Am I short of food or clothes for you?"
Fang Qianxue was puzzled: "Second Master, what are you talking about? Meihuaao has always used my own money. Second Master, of course you have never lacked food or clothes for me."
Because you never gave it.
Lu Changqing's face turned pale, and he said angrily: "Have all the shops that sell your dowry gone bankrupt? Or have you never seen anything good? You are so impatient to accept other people's things!"
"My shop is still open, but I really like this skirt. Second Master is right. I am not as lucky as Miss Xu and have never worn a skirt from Jinxiuzhai." Fang Qianxue smiled gently. "This is a special gift from my uncle. There is no reason not to accept it."
"Do you know that King Beining is the owner of Jinxiu Zhai? He was the one who forced me to sell my ancestral home! And you still associate with such a person!" Lu Changqing said angrily.
"Isn't what you said biased? You didn't force the sale. If your mother didn't owe them money, why would you sell the ancestral home?" Fang Qianxue said, "In my opinion, you should go drink a cup of herbal tea to calm down and think calmly about who hurt you."
"You! I can't argue with you, but Fang Qianxue, listen carefully, even if I fall into the gutter in this life, I will pull you up! Even if I die, I will wait for you on the Naihe Bridge, and drag you to reincarnate together in the next life!" Lu Changqing's eyes were red and he was breathing heavily.
Fang Qianxue narrowed her eyes slightly, sighed softly, and laughed until tears came out: "Even if we reincarnate together, we won't be husband and wife again. We can be brothers or sisters, but we won't be husband and wife again."
The two were silent for a while, and Lu Changqing suddenly asked in a hoarse voice: "Qianxue, can we go back to the past?"
Fang Qianxue raised her eyes to look at him. The setting sun shone on her face. She was still as beautiful as she was back then, but with a layer of sadness on her face. "What do you think?"
When coming out of Meihuaao, Lu Changqing felt like he had lost a bit of his soul, and his mind was full of thoughts.
It was not until I entered the courtyard of Songshengju that I heard someone shouting.
"Second Master, something bad has happened. Our young lady has committed suicide!"
"Second Master, Miss Xu is no longer able to make it!"
"Changqing! Go and take a look!" Chen grabbed his shoulders and shook him hard.
Lu Changqing came back to his senses and asked in a daze, "What did you say?"
Chen's face gradually became clearer in front of him: "Changqing, Miaoyan jumped into the lotus pond!"
Lu Changqing was stunned, then rushed into the bedroom.
Fortunately, Xu Miaoyan was still alive, and Xiuqiu and Qianjizi were guarding her.
"This kid is too hypocritical! I just said a few words to her, who knew...she would jump into the pond?" Chen kept chattering beside her, "Luckily Taoist Qianjizi was in the mansion, so he saved her life..."
"Mother!" Lu Changqing glared at Chen and said, "Miao Yan is already in poor health, what do you want her to do?!"
"She came to me and insisted that I set a date for your wedding. I said we should get married after she recovered, and then she jumped into the lotus pond," Chen said indignantly, "Am I wrong? How can she be the first wife of the Lu family if she can't carry on the family line with her current body?"
"..." Lu Changqing bit his lip and couldn't speak.
"You take my kindness for granted. I don't want to bother with your business anymore!" After saying that, Chen went back to her bedroom.
Lu Changqing sat beside Xu Miaoyan's bed in a daze and held her hand: "Miaoyan, Miaoyan, wake up! I can't live without you."
At this moment, he recalled the days when he and Xu Miaoyan spent time together and felt that they were infinitely sweet and irreplaceable.
"Master Lu," the Taoist with long beard said when he saw that the time had come, "Although Miss Xu is still breathing, her body is badly injured. If you don't follow the method I told you last time, I'm afraid she will never wake up again."
Xiuqiu knelt down quickly and kowtowed to Lu Changqing, saying, "Second Master Lu, please save my daughter. She is infatuated with you!"
The only sound in the room was the maid's crying. A gust of cold wind blew past, and Lu Changqing's heart suddenly hardened.
"Master, please give me some advice. How do I make medicine from bones?" The man looked confused and spoke in a calm voice, as if he was asking for a simple prescription.
Qianjizi understood and curled his lips, saying, "Lord Lu, just send the two children to Wanxian Palace and hand them over to me. I will burn incense and pray, and take the bones to make medicine. Lord Lu will not see any blood during the whole process."
