Chapter 72 Madam Hou wakes up
At this moment, Gu Chenran, who had been standing at the door without saying anything, suddenly spoke up: "Is Xu Fulin a student of the same class as you at the Imperial College? You have passed the imperial examination this year and are going to take the spring imperial examination, but he didn't even pass it?"
A word can wake a person up from his dream.
The two brothers who grew up together saw Zhu Hongtao pass the imperial examinations repeatedly and, after the spring examination, would be able to serve as an official in the court.
However, Xu Fulin only passed the examination for a scholar and failed to become a juren. It was inevitable that he felt a sense of contrast and disappointment.
Zhu Hongtao was a little bit incredulous: "Is it because of this that she is jealous that Madam Xu wants to harm my mother like this?!"
Gu Chenran did not comment again: "Then I don't know. I just asked casually. The rest needs you to investigate by yourselves."
He doesn't like to meddle in other people's business. He just said it casually because he couldn't stand it.
It will be much easier once we figure out why Madam Hou fell into a coma.
Wen Ling kicked the Nightmare Monster and said, "Hurry up and wake up Madam Hou. If she gets hurt when she wakes up, you're done for."
Of course, she also had ways to wake up the Marquis, but she was afraid that forcing someone to wake up would make them uncomfortable and cause harm.
The Nightmare Demon was about to cry: "How can I use my magic to wake up the Marquis when you're tying me up and stepping on me?"
Wen Ling nodded to the Marquis of Zhenbei, and the Marquis of Zhenbei reluctantly let go of his foot that was stepping on the nightmare monster. Instead, he grabbed the nightmare monster's hair with his hand and brought it to the head of the Marquis's wife's bed.
The nightmare demon breathed out at the Marquis’ wife.
I saw a white shadow floating out of its mouth, and finally turned into a translucent appearance of the Marquis. The white shadow lay on the Marquis, and the two merged into one.
After a while, the marquis's wife woke up and slowly opened her eyes.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Marquis Zhenbei standing at the head of her bed holding a human head. She was so scared that she screamed and almost fainted again.
Zhenbei Hou quickly hid the head behind him and explained clumsily and anxiously: "This is not a human head, it's a nightmare monster! This thing has been harming you all this time, causing you to suddenly fall into a coma!"
"Nightmare demon? What the hell is this? The more I listen, the more confused I get!" The Marquis's wife was completely bewildered.
Zhu Hongtao hurried forward and summarized what had just happened in the briefest possible words.
When Mrs. Hou heard that it was a hamster spirit that saved her a few days ago, she was stunned at first, but then she quickly remembered.
She clapped her hands and said, "I know who that hamster spirit is! When I was a child, I followed my father back to my hometown and saw a woman carrying a child on her back secretly using our kitchen in the middle of the night.
She begged me not to chase her away, saying that her child was sick and needed to use the stove to stay up all night. She had gone through so much trouble to find these medicines, and if I chased her away, her medicines would be in vain and her child would die without them.
I felt sorry for her at the time, she was alone with her child, she didn't even have a home, she didn't even have a kitchen to stay up late at night, so I lent her my kitchen.
After she finished boiling the medicine and fed the child, she took the child away and I went back to my room to sleep.
The next day, I told my dad about it.
Unexpectedly, my father said that a servant saw a room full of huge rat footprints in the kitchen this morning, and said that what I saw was not a human, but probably a hamster spirit that many people in the village have seen.
Because it was so absurd, I had a deep impression of it, but I never knew that they were following me, right beside me.
Even protected me at the critical moment..."
Mrs. Hou found it unbelievable, but if there was a hamster spirit willing to protect her, then this was the only thing that could happen.
Wen Ling nodded: "It's actually quite normal. Small animals that have become spirits are very spiritual. They really value repaying their gratitude. Otherwise, if the cause and effect are not resolved, they won't be able to practice normally in the future."
The Marquis's wife was very surprised and touched: "No matter what, I should thank it. If it weren't for it, I might have been in trouble before I could get the talisman from the princess."
Wen Ling said, "It was your kindness back then that saved you."
Then she gave the Marquis's wife some calming talismans and a few pounds of scented tea.
"You woke up in time, and your soul wasn't damaged. It's just that your body is a little bit yin. Next, you should get more sun exposure to replenish your yang. Carry amulets with you and drink more scented tea. You will be fully recovered within a month."
Wen Ling handed the things over like a doctor and explained the precautions one by one.
The Zhenbeihou family expressed their gratitude repeatedly.
The Marquis’ wife knew the Marquis of Zhenbei’s previous attitude towards Wen Ling.
At this moment, she pressed on Zhenbei Hou: "Look, you always look at others with prejudice, and your stubborn temper is something you will never change in your life.
Fortunately, this time Princess Chen came to save me in time, without holding a grudge. Otherwise, you would be left without a wife, and you would have to live alone with your stubborn temper for the next few decades.
Apologize to the princess now, otherwise I will move to the manor and see if I will still pay attention to you in the future! ”
The Marquis of Zhenbei, who had just been wielding a great sword to chop off the evil spirits, was now standing at the head of the Marquis's wife's bed and being scolded like a grandson.
After being scolded, he felt aggrieved but not angry at all.
He turned around and bowed to Wen Ling and apologized: "Princess, I was too narrow-minded before. My vision was not good. I sincerely apologize to you.
In addition, we in the Zhenbei Marquisate would also like to thank you for saving our Marquis' wife.
If you have any requests, please feel free to ask. As long as we can do it, our Zhenbeihou family will never refuse! ”
Wen Ling was so frightened by the gift from the Marquis of Zhenbei that she took a big step back.
Fortunately, Gu Chenran came in in time, and she just happened to hide behind Gu Chenran.
This Marquis of Zhenbei is really a man who dares to act and takes responsibility, and is absolutely decisive. However, his character is much better than those who are timid and pretentious.
Wen Ling and Gu Chenran looked at each other and understood what was in each other's eyes.
Wen Ling bowed to the Marquis of Zhenbei and said, "Since we have encountered him, we will definitely not stand by and watch him die. The old Marquis has such an open character, and we are not the kind of people who care about small details.
There is no need for any other reward, but we do have something in your house that we really need. ”
"What is it? As long as we have it, we can give it to you!" said the Marquis of Zhenbei generously.
It’s enough to have what you want, then you can repay the favor.
Giving something is much better than owing someone a favor in the future.
