Chapter 74 Faith is actually belief in cause and effect
Taoist Qing Tuan was unmoved and even a little annoyed.
In his opinion, this kind of false mercy is not as easy to accept as real evil.
"Old Madam, every effect has a cause. We cannot allow you to sow the seeds while forbidding the County Lady from bearing the fruits. I know that you only believe in ghosts and gods when you are in extreme situations. Whether it is our Taoist sect, or those Buddhist sects, or even some unorthodox sects, no matter what they believe in, they all believe in cause and effect and retribution."
Taoist Qing Tuan's words made the Zhou family feel extremely embarrassed at the time.
Zhou Zhili raised his head and looked at Master Qing Tuan. He suppressed his anger and asked, "Master, are you mocking me by saying that my mother's illness is retribution?"
Taoist Qing Tuan didn't want to argue with him. He knew very well the purpose of these people coming here.
At this time, a voice came from not far away: "The scene at the Marquis of Jing'an's Mansion today makes me think I've come to the wrong place."
The Zhou family members all turned around and saw Lu Enyan and Lu Hanyue walking towards them together.
"Greetings to Her Royal Highness the Second Princess, and greetings to Prince Duan..."
When Zhou Qinzhu saw Lu Enyan appear, she thought to herself that this person had a noble status, but it was a pity that he would not live long.
Now she still has the mood to think about things that have nothing to do with action.
Lu Hanyue walked up to them and returned the greeting to Taoist Qing Tuan.
"Master, I apologize for disturbing you..."
"It is my great honor that Her Royal Highness, a thousand-year-old princess, has come to the Xuan Emperor Temple."
Those who were originally watching the excitement also knelt on the ground. After all, this person's status was really high. She was the emperor's only legitimate princess.
Zhou Zhili had no way of acting bossy in front of these two people. He felt extremely embarrassed when Lu Hanyue saw him like that.
"I was just in a hurry and didn't really want to argue with the Taoist priest. I hope Second Princess won't misunderstand..."
Ye Lanxin also hurriedly explained: "Yes, Second Princess, my master has been tormented by my mother-in-law's illness these days and his emotions have been a little out of control. He finally saw my mother-in-law recovering, so he came here today to apologize to my sister. The Taoist priest tried to stop him, which led to the misunderstanding... Taoist priest, I apologize to you on behalf of my master. I also ask that you, for the sake of his filial piety, please don't argue with him."
Taoist Qing Tuan's expression remained unchanged as he replied, "I have made it very clear. What happened back then is what's happening today. Regardless of whether you are truly wrong or just pretending, you should be targeting the living. Master Ye is already asleep. If you have any business, you should go to the Shouguo Mansion to find the Chaoyang County Lady, instead of coming here again and again to disturb her biological mother's peace."
Lu Enyan spoke at this time: "Master, Hanyue and I are here to burn incense today. Thank you for leading the way..."
He ignored the people from the Zhou family at all. After all, he couldn't let the Zhou family see that it was Gu Ruanci who invited him over.
Taoist Qing Tuan nodded and said, "Of course, that's fine. Please wait a moment, my lord. I will first arrange for someone to receive the people from the Marquis of Jing'an's Mansion."
Lu Hanyue then asked, "Lord Zhou, I just heard from afar that the old lady's recovery is beginning to show, and she couldn't wait to go up the mountain to pay homage to your first wife. This is your freedom, but I believe the old lady's body may not be able to withstand such an ordeal. Moreover, the Chaoyang County Princess has not made the tablets of her biological mother and grandmother public. You really shouldn't have barged in, and you certainly shouldn't have embarrassed Taoist Qing Tuan here."
"If you truly repent, then seek the forgiveness of the Chaoyang County Master. Those who are gone will never return, and those who are still alive are the ones we should cherish the most."
Zhou Zhili quickly said, "Second Princess is right. I will take my mother down the mountain right away..."
Lu Hanyue looked at Zhang Qiongru and asked, "Can the old lady handle it?"
Zhou Qinzhu quickly came over and said with a pious expression, "In reply to the Second Princess, after Second Brother's care, Grandmother is not only clear-headed now, but also feels much better. Ever since Second Brother learned the medical skills taught by the Little Medical Immortal, he has indeed made great progress..."
Zhou Yuzhi was very nervous. He had been observing Zhang Qiongru's condition all the way, fearing that she would be too tired to walk and would not be able to hold on. Then the lies they had made up would be exposed.
"I never thought that Mr. Zhou Er's medical skills have improved so much. Even Imperial Physician Zang couldn't do it, yet you can do it so well. I can't help but sigh, 'Young men are truly formidable.' I heard that the Little Medical Immortal has been recruiting disciples these days. I believe that the miracle Mr. Zhou Er created this time will surely impress the Little Medical Immortal."
Lu Enyan knew that the Zhou family was so eager to show off the old lady in front of others because they wanted to facilitate something.
He only needed to think a little and the outline of the matter was already very clear.
The Zhou family heard affirmation of Zhou Yuzhi and even speculation about the future from unrelated people. Even though they could hear Lu Enyan's sarcasm, they still felt that they saw hope.
"Thank you for your praise, Your Highness. My goal is naturally to become Little Medical Immortal's disciple, but the final decision does not lie with me. I will respect whatever Little Medical Immortal decides."
Lu Enyan didn't want to tell him at all that the surname Zhou alone had completely severed his fate with the Little Medical Fairy.
"Mr. Zhou Er's realization is truly heartening. I'm afraid that if you truly become Little Medical Immortal's disciple in the future, you'll be flooded with requests..."
Zhou Zhili understood what was said and quickly said, "Your Excellency, I am too kind. I don't have the ability yet. Learning is endless, and there is still a lot to learn in the future. We are sorry to bother you today. I will take my family down the mountain now..."
After saying that, he supported the unwilling Zhang Qiongru and started to walk down the stairs towards their carriage.
Lu Enyan did not stop him, and neither did Lu Hanyue.
Before leaving, Zhou Qinzhu bowed to them, "Your Highness, Second Princess, Your Highness, I will take my leave now. I wish you both all that you desire will come true."
After she finished speaking, she looked up at Lu Enyan and found that he was also looking at her.
She lowered her head coquettishly, gave a faint smile, and then left.
After they left, Lu Hanyue said directly to Lu Enyan, "Cousin, is this why you brought me here halfway?"
Lu Enyan didn't deny it and said, "Anyway, you were going to the Shouguo Mansion to look for the Chaoyang County Lady. She wouldn't be in the mood to receive you if word of what happened here spread. Now that you've helped her resolve it, she'll have a better impression of you when you meet her next time. Lu Wenxue has offended her many times before, so she might not have a good impression of women from the royal family. I'm helping you."
"Yes, my cousin is very thoughtful. But I just saw Madam Zhang's complexion. She is indeed much better. She is able to go out and climb so many stone steps. I think she is really getting better. This Zhou Yuzhi is indeed a medical genius. Maybe he can really become the disciple of the Little Medical Immortal. Then again, the Little Medical Immortal has been in the Imperial State for so long. Why didn't the emperor ask the Imperial Doctor Zang to bring his junior sister here to treat you directly?"
