The old lady didn't expect that her son had hidden a sum of money at home, and she didn't expect that the Taoist nun she had just scolded so harshly would actually be willing to help them tell fortunes and find the money.
The old man in the family has been bedridden all year round and takes medicine, and the younger daughter-in-law is also soaking in medicine jars all day long. In addition, Lai Guang died suddenly and unexpectedly, which made the already poor family even worse.
Knowing that her youngest son had hidden a sum of money, the old lady breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but wipe away her tears.
Zhao Laifu thanked Ling Chu hurriedly, took out his silver and paid the hexagram gold, and then helped the old lady go back.
The ghost of Zhao Laiguang did not expect that he had promised thirty taels as a reward, but the Taoist nun only received five taels. After thanking Ling Chu profusely, he drifted away.
Ling Chu gained merit and felt better. Xia Zhi happened to come to take her back to her home.
After entering the house, Ling Chu hesitated for a moment, but for the sake of peace and quiet, he decided to go and pay his respects. It was just a matter of words anyway.
As soon as I stepped into the main hall, I saw everyone sitting around the Madam, talking lively.
When she came in, the scene fell silent.
The second lady may have become mute and was not present today, but the third lady said, "Hey, the eldest lady is finally back?"
Ling Chu glanced at the Third Madam and didn't want to pay much attention to her. He just said softly and stepped forward to greet the Madam.
The madam put down the tea cup in her hand and asked in a deep voice, "Sister Chu, did you go to set up a stall to tell fortunes again today? Do you really not want that reputation?"
Ling Chu knew very well what was more important than reputation and life.
She came over to say hello, just to be polite and didn't want to argue about this topic anymore. She was planning to just say a few perfunctory words and then go back to rest.
Unexpectedly, the system suddenly sounded like crazy in my mind.
【drop! drop! drop! 】
[Warning host! Warn the host! Warn the host! 】
[Level 1 danger detected! 】
[Host, please be on guard! 】
Ling Chu's expression suddenly changed. Before he could realize what the danger was, the system's sharp alarm sounded in his mind one after another.
[Didi didi...the host's luck has been taken away! 】
[Didi... the host’s merits have been robbed! 】
【Ding! The host's life is in danger...]
…
The system's alarm was still sounding, but Ling Chu's vision went dark and he fell down.
Xia Zhi was standing quietly behind Ling Chu with lowered eyes. Seeing that she didn't reply, she felt a little worried.
She quietly raised her eyes and unexpectedly saw Ling Chu fainting. She was so frightened that she rushed towards him.
But Xia Zhi was unprepared. In her haste, she failed to support Ling Chu and was knocked down by her.
Fortunately, at the last moment, Ling Chu's head was hugged by Xia Zhi, preventing her from hitting the ground.
"Girl, girl, what's wrong with you, wake up quickly..."
Xia Zhi hugged Ling Chu's body and called out in shock.
But Ling Chu couldn't hear it at this moment.
Her consciousness sank rapidly, and in her daze, she seemed to see a soft light emitting from the system, wrapping the protective jade pendant she was wearing in her collar.
But in the blink of an eye, the jade pendant was absorbed by the system.
Before he completely lost his mind, Ling Chu heard a faint voice in his head.
【Ding! Activate protection! 】
Xia Zhi didn't know why her girl fainted suddenly. Seeing that she had not responded, she turned to Mrs. Dong anxiously and said, "Madam, call the doctor quickly."
The third lady glanced at Xia Zhi casually, and said in a strange way, "Hey, the eldest lady has fainted long ago. Why did she faint when the madam asked her questions?"
The implication is that Ling Chu pretended to faint in order to escape the punishment of the Dowager Madam.
Xia Zhi was so angry that her heart ached. Her girl's face was so frighteningly pale, how could she be pretending.
But this is not the time to argue, saving people is the most important thing.
When Xia Zhi saw Mrs. Dong still sitting there drinking tea, she couldn't help but urge again, "Madam, please..."
Mrs. Dong put the tea cup in her hand on the table with a bang, looked over with sharp eyes, and said coldly, "No need to make a fuss, your girl has been weak since she was a child, maybe she was tired outside.
Just help her back and rest for a while. "
Xia Zhi stared at Mr. Dong in disbelief, her heart trembled for Ling Chu, how could there be such a cold mother in the world!
I saw my daughter fainted with my own eyes, but I wasn't even worried at all. I didn't even want to call a doctor.
Aunt Wen originally thought that Ling Chu was pretending to faint, but when she saw her pale face, she couldn't help but frown.
"Looking at the eldest girl, I don't seem to be fainting from exhaustion. Madam, please hurry up and invite a doctor into the house."
Mrs. Dong glared at Aunt Wen angrily, "Doctor, please speak lightly. Don't you have an idea of what's going on in the house?"
Mrs. Tai didn't want to see anything happen to Ling Chu, after all, she still wanted to rely on her to form a marriage.
But before she could ask Dong to call a doctor, after hearing her words, she subconsciously swallowed the words that came to her mouth.
There really isn't much money in the mansion now. It was already unable to make ends meet. The ancestral hall was burned down, and now it has to spend a lot of money to rebuild it.
The madam hesitated for a while, then raised her voice and called the maid waiting outside the door to come in.
"The eldest girl is a little tired. Please help her back. Xia Zhi, you and Xiangju, the maid, are taking good care of her. Don't neglect her."
Xia Zhi's heart felt cold again.
She finally understood why the girl was so indifferent to the family. These blood relatives didn't care about the girl as much as she, a servant.
Xia Zhi was unhappy, but she couldn't contradict the madam, lest someone take advantage of the girl's coma and use this as a reason to drive her out of the house.
The girl is unconscious now. If she is kicked out of the house, Liu Xiangju may not be able to protect her if she is left alone.
Xia Zhi stopped begging Dong to call a doctor and worked together with the maid to help Ling Chu back to the courtyard.
Liu Xiangju was cleaning the yard. When she saw Ling Chu being helped back by Xia Zhi, she threw the broom and rushed over, "Why did the girl faint?"
"Don't ask so many questions now. You can help the girl into the bedroom quickly. I'll go find a doctor for the girl."
Liu Xiangju subconsciously wanted to say that asking for a doctor requires the wife's consent, but Xia Zhi hurriedly handed Ling Chu into her hands, turned around and ran away.
She had no choice but to help Ling Chu into the house with a worried look on her face.
After the little maid left, Liu Xiangju fetched a basin of water and wiped Ling Chu's face while anxiously waiting for Xia Zhi to invite the doctor back.
I just didn't expect that the summer solstice would come back soon.
"Why are you alone, doctor?"
Xia Zhi's face was sullen, her voice choked with sobs, "The gatekeeper won't let me out."
Liu Xiangju was anxious, "If I don't let you out, go and beg the madam or the madam."
"Please, it's no use. They all said that the girl is just tired and just needs a rest, and they didn't let me call the doctor."
Liu Xiangju's expression changed, "Do they refuse to hire a doctor for the girl because they want to wait until something happens to the girl so that they can change the marriage to another girl?"
Xia Zhi felt uncomfortable and couldn't hire a doctor, so they had to find a way on their own.
"Stop talking about this, I will guard the girl. You go and fry the medicine that the girl usually takes. I hope the girl can wake up after drinking the medicine."
