On the Double Ninth Festival, early in the morning, the weather was bad, overcast and looked like it was going to rain.
A dark cloud seems to be hanging over Sheng'an as well.
The autumn wind is biting, and fallen leaves are swept away by the wind.
The Pei family was bustling with activity, their lights on.
In Qinglong Hall, Madam Li sat on the couch. So what if she couldn't go? She looked at the lowly woman.
Master Fushan is not here; he is in the Wutong Courtyard.
Although the Pei family's place has been vacated, it's messy and needs to be tidied up before it's a good place to live.
It takes time and effort to tidy up, but the Wutong Courtyard is still habitable.
Inside the room, Master Qionghua was also dressed up; today was extremely important! Victory was the only option, defeat was not an option!
Master Qionghua had followed Master Fushan for many years and had never experienced such tension, yet it was also extremely challenging.
Although things didn't go as planned in Sheng'an, Master Qionghua remained confident; once this battle was over, the world would be hers.
That's what Master Fushan meant. She's getting old and needs someone to take over.
Although there are many talented people in Zichan Mountain, how could she give it up to someone else?
For many years, he had been training Qionghua Zhenren. Seeing that she was finally about to graduate, Fushan Zhenren was overjoyed, even more so than if he had eaten an elixir of immortality.
The kind-hearted and benevolent Fu Shan Zhenren will help her granddaughter one last time.
Zichan Mountain is nice, but it can't compare to the wealth and power of royalty, who held the riches of the world in their hands.
It's impossible to become an immortal, so it's better to enjoy the blessings of the mortal world, something even the gods envy.
The yellow crown worn by Master Qionghua today is even more dazzling than that worn by Master Fushan! It was specially made.
While Taoist practice should be simple, the Chan sect does not condone extravagance. The competitive spirit is extremely prevalent on Zichan Mountain.
The noble people of Sheng'an also liked to give these as gifts, as they were not only beautiful but also exquisite.
Those vegetarians are all poor bastards. What's wrong with that? I feel great when I chant sutras.
The strong wind blew the sycamore trees bare.
Qionghua Zhenren's head isn't bald, but her heart is burning with passion!
Although things aren't going well in the palace, isn't that precisely why they need her? Actually, there's nothing really wrong in the palace.
Even if they aren't a flock of fat sheep, they're pretty much the same.
Besides the Venerable Fushan, the families that entered the palace today include the Dong, Cui, Fu, Yang, Han, and Bai families, all of whom have elderly ladies.
They were all prominent families, and people generally wouldn't target them when they got older. Every year they lived was a year older, so it was a matter of who lived the longest.
There are also elderly people in the Prince Dai's Mansion, Prince Wei's Mansion, and Prince E's Mansion, as well as in the He family and Luo family.
Some were on good terms with Fu Shan Zhenren, while others were not.
Qionghua Zhenren didn't care, as long as she was strong enough.
She also figured out Sheng An's situation.
The Crown Princess, who is currently the most powerful woman in the palace, is actually nothing special.
Fushan Zhenren wore a dazzling crane cloak, which she herself could barely drag, as she was still unwell.
He needs eight people to serve him and follow him closely. Two to support him, four to carry his clothes, and two to carry his things.
This isn't many; there will be at least eight more following behind, with sedan chair bearers.
Master Fushan has basically stopped walking, especially since he is ill.
On the Double Ninth Festival, the elderly are cared for. Some elderly people who don't usually go out are able to enter the palace and ride in sedan chairs today.
The palace sedan chairs were sturdy, but Master Fushan's own sedan chair was luxurious! It was also a gift from the Empress Dowager! No one dared to speak up once he entered the palace!
Pei Huanzhao and Xia Shi stood there, their expressions very complicated.
Master Fushan remained calm.
Xia wanted to spit out, "What a despicable person!"
However, Pei Huanzhao and Xia Shi wanted to tag along with Fu Shan Zhenren to the palace today, since Fu Shan Zhenren was staying at the Pei family's residence. Even if Fu Shan Zhenren had many servants, no one dared to stop Xia Shi.
Xia dragged Fushan Zhenren towards Qinglong Hall. Since she was a lowly person, she naturally had to see the ancestor.
Xia looked down on and feared Li, but she never expected that Li had more. Who knows what else she might have?
Whatever the Li family has, won't it all be passed down to their grandsons and great-grandsons?
Qionghua Zhenren hurried over.
Xia's trusted daughter-in-law grabbed Master Fushan and personally took Master Qionghua's yellow crown. How much silver could such a dazzling crown be exchanged for?
Qionghua Zhenren was furious, and a group of people wanted to attack the Xia family.
Xia sneered: "You're living in my house, so try and make a move!"
The Pei family has no shame. Although Master Fushan is also shameless, they haven't completely abandoned their pretenses yet.
Although the reputations of Master Fushan and Madam Li have spread, Madam Xia is not afraid of wasting time today.
Qionghua Zhenren was furious: "Give me back my yellow crown! Otherwise, you'll see how you die!"
Xia sneered, did she think she was easy to bully? She slapped Fushan Zhenren across the face: "This is for my ancestor."
It would be embarrassing enough for Master Fushan to go out with a handprint on his face.
Fushan Zhenren exploded in anger: "Do you really want to die?"
A cold wind blew.
Xia shuddered.
This scoundrel is on the same level as the Li family. The Xia family is not intimidated, but they don't want to cause too much trouble.
It's windy outside, so everyone hurry inside Qinglong Hall.
Qinglong Hall was dark and gloomy, with a draft blowing in from time to time.
No one knew how Madam Li got to sit there, or even whether she was a human or a ghost.
Seeing Fushan Zhenren's expression, Li Shi was pleased, and her laughter was particularly unpleasant.
A group of servants hurriedly prepared for Master Fushan, wanting the most beautiful clothes, even though they would still need to be dressed up once they arrived at the palace.
Li spat out a mouthful of phlegm.
A servant rushed over and said, "His Majesty has decreed that Judge Bao is to search the Lan family's property."
This search and seizure is not a simple confiscation of property; it is a thorough investigation, encompassing all of the Lan family's assets.
Master Fushan fainted immediately.
Li laughed wildly with excitement! Like a vengeful ghost.
Xia felt a tingling sensation on her scalp.
However, although she has some family property, the Lan family is the one that people are jealous of. It would be great if she could go to the Pei family.
Xia wanted to remind Li whether the Lan family's assets could be transferred to the Pei family.
Li is out of his mind; he's just enjoying the fool's misfortune!
Master Qionghua panicked and raided the Lan family at this crucial moment! It's impossible for a sage not to know the relationship between the Lan family and Master Fushan!
Fushan Zhenren found her in the Lan family and fell in love with her, and his protection of the Lan family never changed!
Although Master Fushan was very low-key, the Empress Dowager knew about it. So why did the Sage choose this time?
Isn't he afraid of infuriating people?
He'll be so infuriating to Master Fushan that he'll definitely leave a bad name for himself!
Why don't those people touch the elderly? One must be even more careful with emperors.
Master Fushan tried hard to wake up, but he just couldn't.
Qionghua Zhenren vented her anger on the servant.
The servant was startled and quickly said, "Tong Kui is not dead. On the contrary, a lot of evidence has been found and reported to the Emperor."
Master Fushan opened his eyes and then fainted again, leaving behind two lines of tears.
The Li family was overjoyed! They'd let the Lan family get away with being so arrogant!
Qionghua Zhenren was furious and wanted to smash the Li family's property!
Xia hurriedly stopped her: "Where's the evidence? There's evidence! Your actions against the ancestor are evidence too!"
Li was delighted and called out to Xia, "Get out of my way, let her try to touch me."
Xia hurriedly stepped aside; Qionghua Zhenren was quite intimidating.
Mr. Li watched the play with great pleasure.
The Dong family members came looking for them.
Qionghua Zhenren's anger flared up even more!
The Dong family members weren't afraid of her: "What you need to do now is to behave yourself and do what you're supposed to do."
Master Qionghua's expression kept changing.
The Dong family sneered, "Blame the Lan family for being too arrogant! They just snatched the magistrate's daughter away!"
