Zhao Letong took out a calming talisman: "It's okay, it's just a temporary loss of consciousness. The stimulation was too great and I can't come back to my senses. Just apply it and get some sleep."
After putting it on his forehead, Young Master Xu fell asleep. The Xu family finally believed that this little girl was something.
"Miss Zhao, is this okay?"
"How could that be? We are only relieving his symptoms now. It is impossible for him to completely recover."
"Why?"
Zhao Letong explained it to him clearly: "Because the women your son violated were all possessed by ghosts. He was exposed to so much evil spirits. He's lucky to be alive now. Do you still want to change completely? How much merit can wash away his sins?"
It is because your Xu family has fought in battles for many years and your ancestors were all righteous and patriotic that they were able to protect him and keep him alive until now."
General Xu hadn't expected such a thing to happen. "What will happen to my son in the future? Can't our ancestors protect him forever?"
"Even if the ancestors protect us, they still need the efforts of their descendants. No matter how much merit we have, it will not be enough for him to fail. He will be weak in the future and will have difficulty in having children. If the Xu family does good deeds and behaves well, perhaps they can live a few more years."
"Is it difficult to have children?"
"This is the best possible outcome."
Zhao Letong was serious about what she said, and General Xu knew that she was not lying, so at least she was alive.
"Okay, let's calculate the price of the talisman paper. There are ten talismans in total, and each one costs five hundred taels."
"Five thousand taels?"
"That's right. If I save his life, I will be punished by heaven. I have to pay for it with my own merits. Asking you for five thousand taels of silver is really not expensive. I don't know how many good deeds I have to do to make up for it. All of this costs money."
It's not that General Xu can't afford it, he just feels bad. Five thousand taels for just a few talismans. It's too easy for you to make money.
Zhao Youping said distressedly, "How old is my aunt? She has to worry about doing good deeds to accumulate merit. From now on, all my merit will be given to my aunt. Let's not tell fortunes to solve problems. Our family doesn't lack this little money."
My nephew is truly filial. You've done a great job solving cases and petitioning for the people, which has been a great accomplishment. I'll naturally look for you when I need your help.
Zhao Youping worked even harder to solve the case in order to gain merit for his sister-in-law.
General Xu finally gave the banknote. Fang Xinyue put it away, refused the Xu family's invitation to dinner, and returned home.
When he went out and met the people who were watching the fun, he couldn't eat all the melons. The people were anxious and worried, and they didn't care about being afraid. They asked, "Has the evil spirit of Young Master Xu been eliminated?"
Zhao Letong spoke without reservation, telling everyone everything, his face straight, "Lust is the root of all evil. Retribution may be delayed, but it will come eventually. He will never be able to have children again. He is a waste. The Xu family has failed to educate their children well, so they must bear the consequences."
After the people ate all the melons, they went home to share them with their relatives and friends. Melons tasted better when eaten together.
The Xu family's doorman's face turned black. "Miss Zhao, how could you tell everyone about my family's affairs?"
Zhao Letong: "Is it not allowed? This is the truth. Your family is capable of doing this, so why are you afraid of what others say? A person of integrity has nothing to fear. Even I, a child, understand this. Don't you?"
The doorman was so angry that he quickly sent someone to report to the general. The news spread throughout the capital, and the Xu family lost all their face.
General Xu was unusually calm. Even the Seventh Prince felt that the child was insidious. "She actually spread the news. Is this something a child could do?"
"Don't panic. Now that things have come to this, let the Xu family lose face. No one is perfect. Who doesn't have some shameful things?
In a few years, the matter will fade away. Seventh Prince, there is no need to worry about this matter. The child's survival is more important than anything else."
The Seventh Prince said, "Master is a good father. This is a blessing for my junior brother."
General Xu was in a bad mood, and the Seventh Prince also said goodbye and left.
He did not have his own residence and was temporarily living in the palace. No matter how delicious the food in the imperial kitchen was, he would get tired of it, so he would go to a familiar restaurant to eat before returning to the palace.
When I walked in, I saw diners at the table holding a booklet and talking excitedly.
"Go ask them what they are talking about?"
The servant went to inquire and found out that the Seventh Prince had found a secluded place to sit down. He was not used to being noticed by too many people and felt insecure.
The servant returned with a book in his hand and said, "Your Highness, this is a collection of poems that has been circulated recently. They are all beautiful poems rarely seen in a thousand years and are deeply loved by everyone."
"Oh, a new collection of poems, who did it?"
"Anonymous, no name signed. Everyone says the author is indifferent to fame and fortune, and just really loves writing poetry. But there's one strange thing: it's on several of Miss Qiao's poems."
The Seventh Prince became serious and asked, "Are the poems written by Miss Qiao related to this collection of poems?"
The servant said cautiously, "Some say that Miss Qiao plagiarized this person's poems. The author was from a poor family and didn't dare to resist or become famous, so he could only use this method to expose Miss Qiao."
"Plagiarism?"
The seventh prince opened the poetry collection and read it carefully. Some were graceful, some were heroic, some were lyrical. Every poem was eye-catching. The more he read, the more he felt that the poems were exquisitely written.
Poems written by Qiao Yujiao were also among them. The Seventh Prince couldn't help but frown. It seemed that this might really be plagiarism.
Qiao Yujiao is not very old, and she could not have written such heroic poems without a certain amount of experience.
"Your Highness, if Miss Qiao is guilty of plagiarism, her reputation will be completely ruined. It would be best if you have less contact with her in the future."
"I will make the final decision. Please send the collection of poems to the Qiao family and let Miss Qiao prove her innocence."
This was the only thing the Seventh Prince could do for Qiao Yujiao. Even if she was plagiarizing, she had to plagiarize without any worries. If she couldn't clear the beginning and the end, this woman would not be a good match for him.
