Chapter 54: Unusually Unlucky
Wen Ling shook her head: "Your family's problems are your own fault. As for what happened, don't you have any idea at all?"
The Wu family's steward's face changed, and he said anxiously: "We can add money, as long as you are willing to take a look, a thousand taels will do."
Unexpectedly, Wen Ling, who looked very greedy for money, still shook his head: "I'm sorry, I never make ill-gotten gains. This is your retribution. Please go back."
The Wu family’s steward wanted to say something, but store manager Liang stepped in in time and asked the person to leave.
The Wu family was also the only family that did not buy talismans from the Wanshiwu today.
Many people pointed at him and discussed in low voices.
The Wu family's steward felt extremely ashamed. He didn't dare to make a scene in the Wanshiwu, so he went home and made a complaint with exaggerated details.
He complained to the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, Lord Wu, and his wife, Mrs. Wu.
"I feel that the Princess Chen clearly has something against our Wu family. If there really is a demon, she opened the door just to do this, so why wouldn't she help?
It must be an excuse. Our family is the only one in the Wanshiwu that didn't buy any talismans today. Many people were discussing it. Maybe it was the retribution for our Wu family's unfair treatment in the Ministry of Justice! ”
Madam Wu was very angry and slammed the table heavily, "How can this be absurd? This Prince Chen is a useless prince. Even if he is no longer crazy, isn't he still a half-paralyzed cripple?
After all, our Wu family is the home of a second-rank official in the Ministry of Justice. How dare Princess Chen humiliate our family like this? ”
In their eyes, Wen Ling's refusal to give the talisman was a humiliation.
Lord Wu also looked very bad.
He thought of the banquet held by the royal family a few years ago, when several other princes joined together to ridicule Prince Chen, and he was the one watching the fun on the side.
He was promoted step by step from a middle-level official in the Ministry of Justice because he agreed with the Third Prince and mocked Prince Chen together with him, which earned him the Third Prince's appreciation.
If nothing unexpected happens, and he continues to cling to the Third Prince's thigh, he should become the next Minister of Justice.
So when the steward said that Princess Chen had something against their Wu family, Lord Wu believed it.
He said unhappily, “There are cries coming from the backyard every night. Maybe someone is just playing tricks. Why bother looking for someone outside to see?
Is it possible that there is a vengeful ghost haunting the house? Would it be embarrassing if this matter got out? Isn't it also criticized by others? ”
Mrs. Wu, who was being scolded, was about to explain a few words, wanting to say that the crying sound in the backyard was really scary.
Lord Wu continued, "Okay, now is the critical period for my promotion. Anything else can be discussed after I am promoted.
You are not allowed to go out and look for any monks, Taoist priests or masters for me. If anything goes wrong because of this matter and my promotion is affected, I will show you how I will deal with you! ”
Mrs. Wu swallowed back all the words she wanted to say, and the steward didn't dare to speak anymore.
Wen Ling didn't take this matter to heart as she was very busy every day.
The Wanshiwu was busy all day, and after a final count, they found that they had made five thousand taels of silver in just one day.
Wen Ling was extremely happy.
As a result, bad luck started as soon as he left the Yorozuya.
She got on the carriage, and the palace's sturdy carriage suddenly broke down.
The base of the carriage fell off, and Wen Ling, who was sitting inside, sat on the base and fell to the ground...
When everyone was busy lifting the sedan chair, they saw Wen Ling sitting on the ground with a confused look on her face.
Okay, we changed carriages and continued back to the palace.
As a result, a large pit filled with water suddenly appeared on a main road in Beijing.
The carriage failed to dodge and then overturned...
Wen Ling was helped out of the carriage by others.
Wen Ling was unhappy because he had bad luck twice in a row while riding in a carriage.
Okay, okay, today is not suitable for taking a carriage, so can she walk home?
I had just picked up my skirt and walked less than ten meters when a basin of water was suddenly poured out from the shop next to me.
Wen Ling reacted quickly and dodged, but the basin of water actually turned in the air, and some of it still splashed onto Wen Ling even after she dodged.
The waiter who splashed the water in the shop was almost scared to death. He quickly came out to apologize and said that he did not mean to do it. He just had a sudden brain impulse at that time and splashed the water out without realizing it.
He was shocked when he heard the sound. He hadn't even stepped out of the street yet, and his wife had been unlucky three times!
Tingyin couldn't help but ask: "Madam, you...this bad luck is a bit abnormal!"
Wen Ling expressionlessly shook off the water that had been splashed on her skirt.
She also knew that it was not normal, and she already had a vague guess in her heart.
But she didn't believe it. She rolled up her sleeves and walked forward fiercely: "Come again!"
Then, on the following stretch, Wen Ling was hit by a carriage, chased by a bird that pooped on his head, and the sole of his shoe fell off for no apparent reason...
When she walked back to the palace, Gu Chenran just came back from outside.
Gu Chenran was shocked when he saw Wen Ling, whose hair was disheveled, body was soaking wet, and face was covered with stains.
"This...this, this, have you rolled in the mud?" Gu Chenran asked in shock.
Wen Ling wiped her face vigorously: "It's a long story."
As soon as she finished speaking, the plaque at the entrance of Prince Chen's Mansion suddenly fell down and hit her head accurately.
"Be careful!" Gu Chenran hurriedly pulled Wen Ling over.
The huge plaque brushed past the back of Wen Ling's head and fell to the ground, then bounced slightly from the ground and hit Wen Ling's... instep.
Wen Ling held the back of her foot in pain and hopped on one foot.
Gu Chenran was stunned. No, how could a person be so unlucky?
Wen Ling's mentality finally collapsed.
She took out all the banknotes that were stuffed inside the lining of her clothes and stuffed them into Gu Chenran's hand: "Here, here, here, all for you. Can't I just not take the money?!"
"What... is going on?" Gu Chenran was holding the thick stack of silver bills, confused.
Wen Ling felt very wronged: "This is all the money I earned from selling talismans and refreshing flower tea today.
Because I have special abilities, using these abilities to make money will be contaminated by karma, so I will be unlucky.
In short, I can't have money. ”
Wen Ling was almost crying. Damn it, she would feel extremely happy when she saw gold and silver, but she couldn't have them!
She had just guessed this, but she refused to believe it and insisted on holding the silver all the way.
As a result, she had no choice but to believe in evil.
It seemed as if God was saying to her: "Do you believe it?"
Damn it! !
Gu Chenran looked at Wen Ling's complex expression of grievance and anger as she gritted her teeth, and lowered his head with the silver note.
I wanted to laugh, but I didn't dare to laugh in front of Wen Ling.
