Ling Chu didn't want to get involved in Prince Jing's family affairs, and Princess Jing could understand.
Besides, if something like this happened in the palace, the prince would not want the family scandal to be publicized.
Now that the unlucky thing has been found and Miss Ling has helped a lot today, she can no longer force the person to stay.
Although this Miss Ling is not very old, her master Xuan Yi is a master that even the Imperial Master respects. It seems that she has been fostered in Xuanqing Temple over the years and learned a lot of skills from her master.
During this trip to Prince Jing's Mansion, not only did he take in the female puppet, but he also helped find those two unlucky things. This Miss Ling was simply her and Jing'er's savior.
Princess Jing had a good impression of Ling Chu. When she saw her saying goodbye, she asked Manager Liu to prepare a generous gift, and then ordered the steward around her to send her out of the house.
Ling Chu was brought by Ning Chuyi. She was leaving, and Ning Chuyi followed her to say goodbye to Prince Jing and his wife.
Prince Jing sent the two of them to the door of the mansion.
Before Ling Chu left, he took out a bag and handed it to Prince Jing, "You are stained with yin energy. Here is an exorcism charm and a protective mirror. Remember to carry it with you every day and never leave it."
When Prince Jing heard that it was a life-saving thing, he immediately reached out to take it with bright eyes, patted his chest and said, "Miss Ling, if you encounter anything in the future and need help, you can have someone come to me in Prince Jing's Mansion. I will protect you." Come on, you can walk sideways in Kyoto from now on."
Ling Chu twitched the corner of his mouth and didn't take Prince Jing's words to heart.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, but I have no interest in being a crab. Although I helped you today, your mother-in-law also gave you a generous gift."
It's not that Ling Chu is arrogant, but she always likes to solve problems by herself. Besides, favors should be used wisely.
Chang An stood aside, remembering that Ling Chu said that he smelled bad and was stained with yin energy, so he shamelessly stepped forward and begged Ling Chu to give him an amulet as well.
Ling Chu didn't refuse, and took out another amulet and handed it to Chang An, "Chenghui Shiliang."
Chang An was stunned, but he didn't expect to pay for this talisman.
However, thinking of the female puppet, Chang An was afraid that something might happen to him if he had Yin Qi on him, so he didn't dare to have any objections to Ling Chu. He took out the banknote and handed it over, then took the amulet and put it in his arms.
Ning Chuyi and Ling Chu came out of Prince Jing's Mansion, one on horseback and the other on a carriage.
After getting on the carriage, Ling Chu casually pinched a spell, unlocked the sealed sense of smell, and let out a long sigh of relief.
Prince Jing's body was stained with the smell of Yu Xiuyue's corpse. In order not to be dizzy by the smell, she had to block her sense of smell.
"Miss Ling, what technique did you use to draw Yu Xiuyue today? It looks extremely lifelike." Ning Chuyi was very surprised by the painting Ling Chu painted today.
He had never seen such a realistic painting method. He wanted to ask when he was in Prince Jing's Mansion, but seeing that the occasion was inappropriate, he didn't ask.
"That's a sketch." After a tiring day, Ling Chu felt a little drowsy after getting on the carriage. When she heard Master Ning's words, she didn't care and said casually.
I wanted to ask what sketching was, but when I saw her face was pale and she was leaning tiredly on the car with her eyes closed, Ning Chuyi swallowed the words that came to her lips.
Miss Ling's sketches are really lifelike. If they were used to draw the wanted criminals of the imperial court, or to trace the portraits of criminals, they would be very effective.
It's just that she's not in good health, so I can only find her another day to ask her about the drawing method of the sketch.
Ling Chu was on the horse and was so tired that he fell asleep. He had no idea that Master Na Ning had made up his mind again.
When he returned to the front door of Ling Mansion, Ling Chu just woke up.
After sleeping for a while, she finally felt better.
Seeing that she, a girl, could sleep so peacefully in a carriage, Ning Chuyi couldn't help but said, "You are really big-hearted, and you are not afraid that someone will betray you after you fall asleep."
"Didn't Mr. Ning say that he is a smart person and won't do loss-making business? In that case, what else do I have to worry about?"
Seeing his expression of having nothing to say, Ling Chu waved his hand casually, "Master Ning, it's better to leave without seeing him off."
When Ning Chuyi saw her abandoning her words and turning around to enter the house, she was silent, then turned around helplessly and rode away with her guards.
"Hey, big girl, are you finally willing to come back?"
Ling Chu stepped into the flower hall. When the second lady heard the movement, she couldn't help but stabbed her as soon as she opened her mouth.
"Second aunt, are you missing me? I didn't know that second aunt cares so much about the juniors in the house."
The second lady choked, who would care about a calamity star who punished six relatives? If she didn't think that she still had money on her, she wouldn't even bother to look at her.
Although she hated Ling Chu, the second lady's eyes flickered when she saw that she was holding a lot of things in her hands, and she swallowed back the dissatisfaction on her lips.
After Ling Chu left today, the second wife thought that she was now penniless, so she went back to her parents' home.
She originally thought about borrowing some money from her parents' family, but unexpectedly the boy guarding the door saw her and wouldn't even let her in. When she asked the reason, the boy only said that the masters of the house were out and it was difficult to let an outsider into the house.
The second lady was angry and angry after hearing this, but no matter what she said, the boy would not let her in.
In fact, not only the second wife returned to her parents' home to borrow money, but the eldest wife, the third wife, several concubines, and even the eldest master to the third master all went out to find relatives and friends today, hoping to borrow some money to tide over the current difficulties.
But except for the eldest lady, who borrowed fifty taels from her parents' family, everyone else returned empty-handed.
The former in-laws of the Hubu Shangshu Mansion were worried that if they continued to associate with the Ling Mansion, they would be implicated in the emperor's dislike and ruin their own family's future, so they all avoided them.
The few out-of-town masters were so talkative that they didn't even borrow half a tael of silver.
When the eldest lady thought about returning to her parents' home, her father, mother, brothers and sister-in-law who once loved her avoided seeing her. Her mother only let her mother-in-law secretly stuff fifty taels of silver notes to her, and her heart felt like a cold lake for thousands of years.
She used to be the eldest lady of Shangshu Mansion, and everyone greeted her with a smile. Now that she was in a state of poverty, she immediately avoided her like a snake or a scorpion. This gap made the eldest lady angry and jealous, and at the same time unwilling to accept it.
Now that her husband has become a white man, the only one she can rely on is her eldest son. She must find a way to find a future for him.
After collecting her thoughts, Mrs. Dong waved to her eldest daughter lovingly, "Sister Chu, you are hungry. Come here quickly. We are waiting for you to serve dinner."
Ling Chu had been busy all day and didn't eat much. When he saw the food on the table, he washed his hands and sat down to eat.
Xu Shi saw that Ling Chu had brought back a lot of things today, and everyone was quite gentle towards her. Even the second lady didn't make any fuss.
After finishing the meal, Ling Chu picked out a few supplements from Princess Jing and gave them to Mrs. Tai to replenish her health. She also picked up a few foods suitable for Ling Hao and gave them to Mrs. Dong.
He divided the pieces of cloth he brought back among them.
In addition to the tonics and fabrics, Prince Jing's Mansion also gave Ling Chu three thousand taels of silver notes as a thank you gift. With those three thousand taels, Ling Chu didn't mind trading those supplements and cloths for a piece of cleanliness.
Maybe he had received a lot of cold looks when he went out today, but this time he took Ling Chu's things, and everyone had a rare smile on their face.
Early that morning, the sky just showed a hint of fish belly white. Ling Chu suddenly felt a coldness around him and just opened his eyes and woke up from his dream.
I happened to see the ghost of Gurdjieff coming through the wall from outside.

Since it was put on the shelves, it has lost a lot of book friends.
Have you all given up on Ling Chu? It’s so sad.
