The old man seemed to remember something, and sat down dejectedly on the stone bench beside him, placing his walking stick next to the dead vine tree.
"Please excuse me, Miss. Chu Sheng, and take her out."
As soon as he went out, he closed the door tightly.
Bai Chusheng looked around and saw that there was no one around. "I hope the girl can save our family..."
Before Bai Chusheng could finish, Gu Yunni walked up to him and asked, "How do we save him?"
"Actually, the person lying in my father's room is my mother."
Bai Chusheng told Gu Yunni everything that happened that year.
His father couldn't accept his mother's death, so he found a crooked way to feed his mother's soul with her essence and blood every day.
"Oh, girl, there's one thing I forgot to tell you. My mother's body has never decayed."
"Yeah." Gu Yunni just responded with a faint "hmm", but Bai Chusheng was as anxious as an ant on hot pan.
"Do you know why you and your brother always can't control your anger?" Gu Yunni played with the jade fingers in her hand and looked up at Bai Chusheng.
"I always feel that this matter has something to do with my father..."
"The main problem lies with your mother. She is the one who is influencing you two."
"Can my mother be reincarnated?" When he was still conscious, he had already gone to see a Taoist priest.
"If you haven't harmed anyone, you can naturally go to reincarnation, but the animal realm is still the reincarnation realm, and you need to be judged by the underworld."
Bai Chusheng pursed his lips after hearing this and said, "Thank you for telling me, young lady. I wonder when my mother can enter Taoism again?"
"If you have a way to let me take a look at the formation in the house and destroy it, perhaps I can send your mother into reincarnation."
But his father was like a cow and would not allow anyone to enter.
"Don't worry, girl. I will find a time to let you in. I can't let my father continue like this."
Gu Yunni sighed silently. She knew that her father did this simply because he could not accept the death of his beloved wife.
In this world, people are always entangled because of love.
On the other side, Sheng Mingyu couldn't find the person and kept sending people to look for him on the streets.
It wasn't until Mo Zhu saw Gu Yunni that he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Miss, I finally found you. If I hadn't found you again, His Highness would have been furious."
Gu Yunni was a little confused and didn't know what Sheng Mingyu wanted her to do?
"What's up?"
"Your Highness is worried about the girl's safety." Mo Zhu said seriously.
"That's fine. You can go back and tell His Highness first. I'll go find him after I finish dealing with things here."
So he was worried about her? Gu Yunni was surprised. After all, the two of them only had an agreement.
Gu Yunni couldn't help but look up at the sky, which was gray.
Changping Marquis Mansion.
Because of Master Linkong's curse, Marquis Changping always had nightmares and hadn't slept well for several days in a row.
He couldn't help but look up at the sky outside, wondering, why is the sky so gray?
"My Lord, you have been getting up repeatedly at night these days, and you sweat profusely every time you get up. Why do you keep having nightmares?" Mrs. Kou said worriedly.
Seeing Marquis Changping in a daze, he couldn't help but walk up to him and rub his temples, trying to ease his headache.
"I heard there's a state teacher in the palace. He's incredibly profound. I wonder if I can see him by asking His Majesty?"
Marquis Changping did not listen to what Mrs. Kou just said. He was still thinking about how to make the nightmare go away.
"My Lord, do you wish to go to the palace to look for the Imperial Master?"
"Yes, I want to go to the palace to find him. Perhaps he has a way to dispel the nightmare."
He was the imperial teacher, personally appointed by the emperor, and his status and position in the royal family occupied a place.
Marquis Changping is also a member of the royal family, so he cannot just stand by and watch someone die.
A rumbling sound was heard, breaking the thoughts of Marquis Changping.
Coming back to his senses, he put the teacup in his hand on the table and waved his hand, asking Mrs. Kou to stop massaging.
Then, Marquis Changping stood up from his chair and walked to the door alone.
Looking at the pouring rain, it still couldn't erase his determination to go to the palace in the rain, which further demonstrated his sincerity.
Seeing Marquis Changping's behavior, Mrs. Kou hurriedly took her umbrella and walked up to him.
"My Lord! What are you going to do? Even if you have nightmares, you must take care of yourself." Mrs. Kou's eyes were red.
I really don't understand. Master Linkong is clearly dead, but he still won't let them go.
"A dead man! Instead of avenging his murderer, he avenges us! He deserves to die!"
Madam Kou was about to say something harsh, but she was unexpectedly scolded by the Marquis of Changping, "If this world really has spirits as Gu Yunni said, then everything you said before would have been heard by Master Linkong. If he does something else, we will only decline further."
"My Lord!"
Just as Marquis Changping was in a trance, he heard a voice calling.
When he turned around, he found that it was the owner of Xiaoyaopu.
"Why are you going to the Marquis' Mansion in the heavy rain?"
"My Lord! Our Xiaoyao Shop can no longer operate. What should we do?"
The sudden words hit Marquis Changping like a thunderbolt on his head.
He almost lost his balance and fell to the ground. Fortunately, Mrs. Kou supported him and prevented him from falling.
"Xiaoyaopu can no longer be opened. What does that mean?"
"Everything in the shop is moldy, and customers often come over to make trouble, saying that the rouge and powder we sell are of inferior quality."
If this matter continues to escalate and is brought to the attention of His Majesty, the consequences will be disastrous.
"These rouge and powder have all been checked by professionals, how could there be any mistakes?"
The rouge and powder business at the Marquis of Changping's mansion has always been brisk, so why are they inexplicably getting moldy? And why are some people's faces getting rotten?
The room is so dry!
But what Changping Hou cares more about at the moment is getting rid of the bad luck on his body.
As for other things, they can only be put aside for the time being.
He sighed and turned to look at Shopkeeper Zhang. "Let's close the shop first. Give some compensation to these disfigured girls and warn them that this matter should only be known to the two of them. If anyone else knows about it, they will lose their tongues."
Shopkeeper Zhang understood what Marquis Changping meant, nodded, and turned to leave.
