Chapter 300: Smooth Heart
The Taoist priest wanted to leave, but since the Second Wife wanted to see him, Manager Zhou would definitely not refuse her, so he asked the maid to take the Taoist priest away.
The Taoist priest was invited to the South Courtyard, and not only the Second Wife, but also the Fourth Wife was there.
If today's matter is not clarified, the Fourth Madam will blame the Second Madam for the rest of her life.
The second wife was sitting there with a gloomy face. When she saw the Taoist priest coming in, she waved her hand and all the maids and old women serving in the room left.
After everyone left, the second wife said to the Taoist priest, "Do you know what kind of place this is? How dare you take the money and not do the job? How many heads do you have?!"
The Taoist said, "It is precisely because I have taken the money that I have to do the work."
The second wife was furious, "I just want you to do what I tell you to do!"
The Taoist priest glanced at the fourth wife and said, "That horoscope is this wife's, right? Her forehead is dark, which is a sign of bad luck. If she doesn't move out of this mansion, she will be doomed."
"If it doesn't mean I can kill you, but when lives are at stake, how dare I go against my conscience?"
The fourth wife's face was stiff, "Is what you said true?"
The Taoist priest looked at the fourth wife and asked, "Is this lady doing well lately?"
All the best?
Her son is gone!
How can she be happy? !
Thinking of her lost son, the fourth wife burst into tears.
The Taoist said, "The other horoscope belongs to the prince's wife. Her horoscope is extremely strong, but good luck will come when disaster strikes. If you make an enemy of her, you will not have a good end."
The second wife's face turned green.
She invited the Taoist priest into the mansion to teach the Crown Princess a lesson and let her know who has the final say in the mansion. However, the Taoist priest she had invited with great effort said that the Crown Princess had a strong fate and would prosper the palace, while the fourth branch would have to move out of the mansion.
If she hadn't invited this Taoist priest, she would really have beaten him up.
The Taoist priest said all he could say, "That's all I have to say. Goodbye."
After the Taoist priest left, the fourth wife looked at the second wife and asked, "Do you believe what the Taoist priest said?"
The second wife said, "I don't believe it. When the old lady wakes up, this disaster will naturally be resolved."
That's true. As long as the old lady wakes up, the conflict between the eight characters will be resolved and the fourth room won't have to move out.
But even if nothing happened in the end, all this trouble only brought bad luck to themselves, and they were unable to do anything to Chen Tang, which was enough to make them angry.
As the Taoist priest left the palace, Chen Tang and the princess left Wutong Courtyard. The princess smiled and said, "That Taoist priest has a fairy-like demeanor and real abilities. She said you are good at bringing prosperity to the palace, so you must be good."
Chen Tang, "..."
I can see it.
The princess has the temperament of someone who would help others count their money even if she was sold.
Chen Tang said, "I broke the balance of the palace..."
The princess said, "As long as you don't defeat the old lady, it won't be a big problem."
The old lady and Shen Tang are both people who cannot move out of the house. If their horoscopes are incompatible, the princess will really have a headache, but the two of them live under the same roof and there is no hindrance, so it is not a big deal.
As long as the horoscopes conflicted, it wouldn’t hurt Chen Tang, Xie Guimo, or the prince, and the princess didn’t care.
As for the old lady and the fourth wife, the princess will not interfere too much, and she cannot control them.
The princess returned to the Peony Courtyard, while Chen Tang returned to the Chenxiang Pavilion. From a distance, she watched the Taoist being sent out of the mansion. No matter how Chen Tang thought about it, she felt that something was wrong. The Taoist did recognize her and did not dare to help the Second Madam to plot against her, but his words were flawless and did not seem to be improvised. Moreover, the Taoist's words were clearly aimed at driving the Fourth Madam out of the mansion.
The Taoist priest might be on her side, but he would not do such a thing.
Returning to Chenxiangxuan, Chen Tang went directly to the study and asked Xie Guimo, "Did you threaten the Taoist priest?"
Xie Guimo smiled and said, "Why would a husband do something that threatens others?"
Not him?
Chen Tang blinked, and then heard Xie Guimo add, "Chen Qi threatened me."
Chen Tang, "..."
Is there any difference between what Chen Qi threatened and what he threatened?
She guessed it was him.
That day, he suspected that the old lady's illness was strange, so he said he would send someone to watch her. Every move of the second wife and the others was under his eyes.
Chen Tang asked, "What did they originally want the Taoist to say?"
Xie Guimo didn't say anything. Chen Qi said, "The Second Madam gave the Taoist priest 100 taels of silver and asked him to tell her that you, the Crown Princess, are inauspicious for the old lady. She asked her to copy three Buddhist scriptures every day and go to the Jokhang Temple on the first and fifteenth day of each month to chant scriptures and pray for the old lady. This will take three years to resolve the problem."
They had brought such disgrace upon themselves, but the prince only punished them by making them attend court for three days and copy a hundred household rules. But they went the other way and had to copy them for three years.
The old lady's life is at stake. If she dares not to do as she is told, the old lady will be in trouble and everyone's spit will drown her.
Fortunately, they were fully aware of their plan and did not let them succeed.
Thinking that the old lady was pretending to be sick, Chen Tang said with regret, "As long as the old lady wakes up, the conflict between the eight characters will be resolved..."
"She won't wake up unless Room Four moves out."
Shen Tang's eyes widened.
When I realized that this guy had turned the old lady's pretended illness into a real illness, I couldn't help but laugh.
The old lady shot herself in the foot this time.
only--
Chen Tang said, "Why not let the second wife move out?"
Although the Fourth Madam and the Second Madam are both the Old Madam's biological daughters-in-law, it is obvious that the Second Madam is more difficult to deal with, and Chen Tang wants the Second Madam to move out.
Xie Guimo wanted to, but he had to eat one bite at a time. It was obvious that the fourth house was more unlucky than the second house. The Taoist priest's words were more convincing. "The fourth house has been separated, and the second house will not be far behind. We will take it step by step."
Chen Tang also knew that this matter could not be rushed. As long as his parents did not split up the family, it would be very difficult to separate the fourth room. He could only do it slowly.
The old prince is still alive, but he doesn't stay in Kyoto often. When the second master moves away, there is no reason for the old lady not to follow her own biological son and stay in the prince's mansion.
It is easy to drive out the fourth room today, but it is not so easy to get the second room to move out.
But things depend on human effort. A few days ago, they had not expected that dividing the four rooms would be so easy. Maybe things will work out in the end.
After the Taoist priest left, the second and fourth wives returned to Wutong Courtyard, drank the ashes of the burnt talisman paper, and the old lady should "wake up".
But after waiting for a long time, the old lady was still lying quietly on the bed, without any movement.
The Second and Fourth Madams were really anxious now, and Mother Wu was even more furious. When the Taoist priest was performing the ritual, the old lady had her eyes open, and during this time, apart from drinking the talisman paper and water, she had not taken anything in her mouth. How could she suddenly not wake up? !
There was no way to wake the old lady up. Pinching her philtrum or pinching her fingers didn't work.
The second wife said anxiously, "Why don't you call a doctor quickly!"
Mother Wu was in a panic and quickly asked the maid to call the imperial physician.
The maids in the yard looked at each other in bewilderment.
In the past few days, all the doctors and imperial physicians from Kyoto have come, but they were unable to wake the old lady up, so they invited a Taoist priest into the mansion. The Taoist priest had just left, so why did they invite the imperial physician again?
The imperial physician can't cure the old lady, so it's useless to invite him.
