The Marquis of Zhongyong's Residence.
Nine Spirits Academy.
"Ninth Master, I heard that Madam was very happy when she returned from offering incense today, saying that she drew a good fortune for you."
Shi Yan excitedly shared with Ninth Master the gossip he had just heard from the front yard.
The young man, known as Ninth Master, lay lazily in a rocking chair, gazing through the heavy rain at the lotus flowers swaying more and more in the rain in the lotus pond, feeling somewhat down.
"Shiyan, I want to eat lotus root and lotus leaf soup today. Pull all the lotus flowers in the pond in front."
Shiyan: ? ? ?
"Ninth Master, did you hear what I just said to you?"
"Did you hear clearly what Master told you?"
Ninth Master gave him a sinister glance, which startled the other man so much that he immediately went off to become a notorious womanizer.
have to.
It seems Ninth Master is in a bad mood again.
Since returning from southern Xinjiang, when others were excited to see the epiphyllum finally blooming, his Ninth Master simply picked it and brewed it into tea.
As I said, fresh night-blooming cereus flowers make delicious tea.
Others, seeing the lotus flowers swaying more and more in the rain, might involuntarily recite a few lines of poetry, but his Ninth Master found it utterly an eyesore.
However, Shi Yan dared not disobey.
When Shi Yan returned after completing his mission and changing into clean clothes, he found that Ninth Master was no longer in the corridor.
After thinking it over, I realized I had gone to the Star-Picking Tower.
The Star-Picking Tower is the tallest building in the entire capital city besides the Imperial Palace.
This is the glory of the Empress Dowager's maternal family.
It is also Ninth Master's glory.
Standing atop the Star-Picking Tower, one can enjoy a panoramic view of the bustling and prosperous capital city.
However, due to his leg injury, it was not an easy task for Ninth Master to climb the Star-Picking Tower.
So when Shiyan climbed up, he saw Wenqi standing behind Ninth Master, his calves still spinning.
Suddenly Shiyan felt a sharp pain in his calf.
She was even more fortunate that Ninth Master still favored her and only asked her to dig lotus roots instead of letting him climb the stairs for her.
"When you first arrived, you asked what was wrong with Madam?"
For some reason, Ninth Master, who had never asked about these things before, suddenly asked a question.
Perhaps it's because being at such a high place makes one too lonely?
Shi Yan paused for a moment before remembering, and hurriedly replied, "Madam went to offer incense and draw a fortune stick for you today. The master interpreted the stick and said that you are lacking something in your destiny, and as long as you find a woman whose birth chart contains such and such, she can bring you good fortune and resolve your misfortune..."
"I'm not supposed to die, why would I need to celebrate?" Ninth Master scoffed, clearly having been fooled.
But Lady Zhongyong doesn't think so. She has already sent people to secretly investigate which family's daughter has such a birth chart.
Unexpectedly, it was detected in just two days, but...
"Huo Minglang's eldest daughter?"
The smile on Lady Zhongyong's face froze.
Isn't this just asking for trouble?
If she dared to let her ninth brother marry Huo Minglang's daughter, wouldn't she become mortal enemies with Princess Duanyang?
Even the emperor might have objections.
"Yes, and this girl is only... only four years old this year..."
This person is a full fourteen years younger than Ninth Master!
Isn't this a joke?
"How could it be her?"
The wife of the Marquis of Zhongyong is a Buddhist, but now that Huo Minglang's family is about to be driven out of the capital, how could his daughter be a lucky star?
She is a Buddhist, but not stupid.
“Send people to investigate, to investigate Huo Minglang, no, to investigate the Wang family! And the fortune teller who interpreted my fortune this year.”
Lady Zhongyong felt that there must be something fishy going on.
Soon, Lady Zhongyong found out.
Wang thought his move was clever and that no one would investigate, so he didn't do anything to clean up the mess.
Therefore, it was quickly discovered.
Instead of causing trouble for Lady Wang, Lady Zhongyong directly asked her husband, Marquis Zhongyong, to go and talk to Huo Minglang.
Did they want to scheme against the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion?
You also have to be lucky enough to have that fate!
·
Ms. Wang didn't know what was wrong with her today. She broke a teacup while drinking water, and when she wanted to hold her son to play, she accidentally dropped him.
Then he went out to call a doctor, but he fell down again and got a mouthful of mud!
This made Wang feel uneasy, as if she had been incredibly unlucky.
Fortunately, the child was fine; some medicine was applied and that was enough. However, the child kept crying, which gave Wang a headache, so she had to ask the wet nurse to take the child away to care for him.
This son has been suffering from illness since birth.
Two years ago, Huo Minglang caused trouble for Huo Chenyi, not for no reason, but because his son was sick.
And after each ritual, the son's health would indeed improve.
"Yes! To perform a ritual."
Thinking of this, Madam Wang immediately sent someone out to invite the master who had performed the ritual.
It must be that brat Huo Chenyi is being too reckless, which is why her son's health is getting weaker and weaker.
That bastard is her son's nemesis!
It's truly a pity we couldn't kill him!
"Take the money, any amount you want, just make sure that brat Huo Chenyi's fate is completely suppressed, and he..."
"Bang!"
Just then, the door was suddenly kicked open.
Echoing the glow of the setting sun was Huo Minglang's face, as black as ink.
Wang's heart suddenly raced, and her whole body trembled, but she still tried to remain calm. However, no matter how much she pretended, she didn't dare to look Huo Minglang in the eye.
Those eyes seemed to hold a knife, capable of killing.
"Husband, what's wrong with you..."
"Smack!"
A crisp slap sent the frail Wang flying.
