Chapter 124 Resurrection from the Dead
“Ghost…Ghost…”
"He's pretending to be dead..."
The maids who were keeping guard opened their eyes wide, looked at the movement in the coffin, and ran out of the mourning hall in panic.
Running around, shouting.
This caused the dogs in Wuyi Lane to bark non-stop, and the barking sound rose and fell continuously.
The concubines and wives who were sleeping with their husbands in their arms were suddenly awakened and held their husbands tightly.
"Husband, wake up quickly! Is there an evil spirit here?... It is said that Miss Jiang San had a weak horoscope and was easily attracted by evil spirits. She died at such a young age..."
There is a saying among the people that it is unlucky to die young, and one cannot be buried in the ancestral tomb, as it will destroy the feng shui.
Some people also say that it is a punishment for sins committed in previous lives.
The husbands who were sleeping soundly patted their wives in their arms and muttered a few words, "With your husbands here, how could any evil spirit dare to come to our house?"
"Why don't we ask a Taoist priest to perform a ritual tomorrow?"
"Please, please..."
It is better to believe it exists than to believe it does not.
Many people did not sleep well that night.
Everyone in Jiang Miaomiao's family slept soundly. She asked her maid to make a lot of earplugs out of fine cloth.
One for each person in the family, and some were also sent to the Cui Mansion.
At first everyone thought it was just kids playing around, but in the middle of the night the dog kept barking.
Those earplugs came in handy.
Jiang Zijin used all his strength to push open the coffin lid, only to find himself sitting in a coffin.
I was so frightened that I almost lost my soul...
"ah……"
Qi Caiwei stumbled in and was stunned the moment she saw her daughter.
"Mom, I'm Jin'er, please carry me out." Jiang Zijin had already stood up from the coffin.
But it was too high inside and she couldn't get down. She cried and asked her mother to carry her down.
The maids didn't dare to get close.
Mei Gu walked forward and hugged her. No matter what it was, the person in front of her was her daughter.
Nanny Gong was watching outside the door with her eyebrows twitching.
There is such a thing in this world, a person who has been dead for a day can actually be resurrected!
It’s so weird!
This matter must be reported to the capital...
The next morning.
The entire Wuyi Lane was shrouded in the sound of firecrackers.
At this time, after experiencing that nightmare, Jiang Zijin's memory of his previous life became clearer.
It's like being reborn.
She was destined to be rich and powerful. It must be that God was blessing her and gave her a new life.
She drank the porridge in big gulps, wanting to recover as soon as possible.
After her rebirth, she was able to predict what happened in her previous life better than others.
She is confident that she will not make the same mistake again this time.
Qi Caiwei holds her daughter who has come back from the dead.
Crying with joy.
The sound of firecrackers was actually very pleasant to the ears.
"Aunt Mei, has the news that Jin'er is still alive been released?"
"The news has been told to the storyteller. All the white objects in the mansion have been removed and replaced with red ones." The New Year is coming soon, so there is nothing wrong with changing to red.
Aunt Mei secretly glanced at Nanny Gong.
If she hadn't had someone hang a white banner and bring the coffin early on, such a joke wouldn't have happened.
It caused the third girl to lose all her reputation.
Qi Caiwei was very satisfied to hear this. Her daughter was alive, and those rumors were self-defeating.
After this matter is over, find someone to spread the word and say that Zijin is blessed with good fortune and is destined to be rich and noble.
You can still find a good family.
"Auntie Mei, you should also find some firecrackers to set off to get rid of the bad luck..."
"Madam, this..."
Aunt Mei hesitated and didn't know how to tell her master that she was very happy at the moment.
I don't want to pour cold water on her.
Nanny Gong stepped forward and said, "Madam Ru... let's not do that..."
"Right now, every household in Wuyi Lane has hired a Taoist priest to perform rituals to exorcise evil spirits, so they're setting off firecrackers... If we set them off now, outsiders might think we're also exorcising evil spirits in the mansion."
“Cough cough cough…”
Jiang Zijin almost choked to death on his porridge.
Qi Caiwei leaned back in anger.
She looked at Aunt Mei and Aunt Gong in disbelief, "What did you say? They are exorcising evil spirits!"
"My daughter is alive, what kind of evil are they trying to exorcise?"
Aunt Mei didn't dare to say anything and looked at Nanny Gong.
Qi Caiwei and her daughter also looked at Madam Gong, "Why don't you tell me?"
Nanny Gong swallowed her saliva and said slowly, "Those people thought the Third Miss's resurrection was extremely strange, and they were even more certain that the girl's horoscope was unlucky... So... every family went to Qingyun Temple before dawn and invited a Taoist priest to perform a ritual."
"All the Taoists from Qingyun Temple are here..."
Qi Caiwei was so angry that she fainted and was carried back to the house by Aunt Mei. "Quick... call a doctor, go call a doctor..."
The bowl in Jiang Zijin's hand fell to the ground, and the soup soaked the bedding.
He vomited out what he had just eaten.
What is unlucky?
How could she be unlucky?
Anyone around the prince would have an unlucky horoscope. People with bad horoscopes cannot even get close to the prince.
She is the queen's life!
"Spreading rumors...slandering..."
"Someone must be trying to harm me. It must have been spread by the Lu family!"
Matron Gong looked at the stern-faced little girl, a chill rising from her heart. She said indifferently, "It was the Cui family who hired a Taoist priest to perform the ritual, and that's how it got out."
"Cui family!"
Jiang Zijin was so shocked that her jaw almost dropped to the ground.
The Cui family actually did such a thing!
The little maid stumbled in and said, "Miss, the officials are here... they want to see the lady..."
There was also a knock on Jiang Miaomiao's door.
The gatehouse that opened the door was given to Jiang Miaomiao's family together with the house.
"Is Lu here? Someone has accused her of murdering her family's offspring. We are ordered to take her back to the yamen for questioning." The door was full of officials.
"Sir, please wait a moment!"
The doorman panicked and quickly asked the maid in the inner courtyard to report.
After a while, Jiang Miaomiao and her family came out slowly and followed the officials to the government office.
Prefect Qin recognized Lu Qingyao at a glance.
The empty Cui family house was suddenly occupied, and as the prefect, she naturally had to investigate it thoroughly.
"Someone, come and find a seat for Lu Gongren."
Lu Qingyao bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Excellency the Prefect. I will just stand."
Qi Caiwei was carried in a sedan chair and was helped forward by Mei Gu.
The gavel rang.
"Who is this person in the hall? Why don't you kneel before me?"
"I am an official's wife, the daughter of Minister Qi, and the wife of Langzhong of the Ministry of Rites..." Qi Caiwei said proudly.
There is no one who doesn't want to curry favor with her father.
Prefect Qin's face darkened. "So what if they are officials' wives? Do they have any imperial decrees?"
"As a mere concubine, without rank or imperial decree, you're not even allowed to kneel before an official... or is this how Minister Qi taught you to be so arrogant?"
Qi Caiwei choked on a mouthful of blood and glared at Lu Qingyao fiercely.
Could it be that the prefect is also protecting this woman?
She felt that the prefect seemed to be targeting her deliberately...
