The gear of fate finally succeeded in moving towards the direction she wanted to continue, driven intentionally or unintentionally by the person involved, Ling Yun. She and Su Youting were finally officially invited into the Shen Mansion and met the eldest son of the Shen family, the chubby Shen Liujia. , Mr. Shen.
There is also a seriously ill old lady whose name has only been heard but whose face has not been seen.
At this time, they were sitting in the outer room of the old lady's bedroom. There were quite a few people here. Mr. Shen's third wife, concubines, and six children gathered together and looked at Shen Liujia, who was sitting in the upper position, and this unknown man, who was wearing a patch of coarse cloth, with strange eyes. The dressed peasant girl spoke.
"Girl, are you really good at curing my mother's disease?" Shen Liujia is a filial son, which can be seen from his appearance.
The clothes that were already a bit wider showed that Mr. Shen Liujia had lost a lot of weight in the past few days when the old lady was ill.
Everyone in the house also looked sad, but there was only one exception.
On the surface, she is standing at the far back, but the worried look on her face is the most exaggerated, and she can't even be ignored. So far, she is the only one who is not happy with Ling Yun's appearance, and her eyes are turned away. It went up to heaven.
Ling Yun ignored the girl, looked directly into Shen Liujia's eyes without any timidity, and said with neither humility nor arrogance, "Seriously, it's more real than real gold, I can cure it!"
But the girl immediately stood up and questioned, "Cousin, please don't be deceived. At her age, she doesn't even know whether she has any medical experience. The famous doctors who come to our house are helpless. This is a rural village." If I really had that ability, would it be possible for me to live like this?"
The implication behind the words was that Ling Yun was just here to cheat money, and he didn't take her seriously at all.
Shen Liujia, who didn't trust Ling Yun very much to begin with, was a little sick and rushed to see a doctor. He was also a little shaken, wondering if he had invited people in too casually.
Ling Yun didn't wait for others to chase them away, and directly asked, "Mr. Shen, have I ever mentioned asking for a penny from your family?"
Shen Liujia shook his head honestly.
Ling Yun looked at the girl who should be my cousin with a rare sharpness in his tone, "Miss cousin, have you seen me before, or have you seen me cheat? Do you really think that so many people are stupid and you are the only one who is smart? of?"
He didn't want to cause trouble, but Ling Yun wasn't a good-tempered person when others jumped up and down in front of him.
It was the first time for me to become a person, so why should I spoil others? With one sentence, I easily revealed the appearance of my cousin’s deliberate disguise, “I guess this is the cousin of the Shen family. Those who don’t know may think that she is a direct descendant of the family. As for Miss, this outfit and the makeup that I put so much thought into will make it worth it even if I go to a wedding banquet or flower party now."
What she reflected was the haggardness that everyone could not hide. Only the fact that she was well-dressed and not really here to serve the sick, Sima Zhao's heart was known to everyone, and he directly overturned the image of his cousin who worked hard to play the most caring and worried filial daughter.
It also made the female relatives in the house look at this cousin who was usually disliked and stayed in the house for many days with displeasure.
"You..." Miss Cousin's face looked a little embarrassed and angry at being exposed. Just when she was about to reply, Shen Liujia, a businessman who was good at discerning human nature, directly stopped her.
"Okay, Yingying, please stop messing around here. We don't need you here. You can go back to your room and rest first."
The cousin, who had no shame in staying, bowed humbly and left quickly. Before leaving, she did not forget to give Ling Yun a fierce look.
Master Shen changed his tone and said to Ling Yun, "My mother has been lingering on the sickbed for many days. If the young lady really has a way, Shen will be very grateful. As for the rest, I hope the young lady will not blame her."
The eyesore was gone. Ling Yun nodded slightly and said, "I have a way, but for the details, I have to see the old lady's condition. In addition, my method of treating patients is different from other doctors. Mr. Shen, please cooperate with me when the time comes. That’s good.”
At this moment, the most anxious and worried person in the entire hall was Su Youting, who had never said a word. He was really anxious, worried that Ling Yun would act recklessly and be beaten out with sticks afterwards, but he was not worried about anything else.
"Okay, okay, as long as you can cure my mother, I will promise you anything." Shen Liujia promised.
In the inner room where the old lady rested, the doors and windows were closed. There was a smell of herbs that made people wrinkle their noses unconsciously when they came in. The yin energy here seemed to be relatively strong in Ling Yun's opinion, mainly surrounding the carved patterns in the middle. Around the bed.
In such a situation, the person sleeping in the bed will definitely suffer from sleepless nights, nightmares, and mental weakness.
"The old lady must not be in good spirits. Everyone who is following you should disperse!" Ling Yun made the first request, and Shen Liujia immediately carried it out without hesitation. The female relatives who followed him all asked him to dismiss her with a wave of his hand.
Only Ling Yun, Shen Liujia and a little girl whom they met at Jiaomen were left in the room.
"Open the windows and doors, remove the curtains, and put a charcoal stove in the room." As Ling Yun spoke, the little girl began to get busy quickly.
Every furnishing in this house is very particular, but it is not difficult to see that it is very messy and there are signs of cleaning up. It can be seen that it was smashed by the owner before.
At this time, the old lady drank the sleep-aid medicine given by the doctor and fell asleep on the bed.
Ling Yun did not check his pulse to check his condition, but sprinkled a handful of red powder on the charcoal fire and walked around the room.
Shen Liujia asked anxiously, "Don't you need to check your pulse, little lady? But what else do you need to prepare?"
"You don't need to feel your pulse. Master Shen, do you know that there is a saying about Zhu Youshu in ancient times?"
"The art of witchcraft?" As he said this, there was already a look of displeasure on his face.
Ling Yun immediately remembered the words of the old sister. Her father was very disgusted with what ghosts and gods said. He immediately changed the subject and changed the way of saying, "It's not about witchcraft, but the heart disease needs heart medicine. The old lady can't sleep at night, and has nightmares." The frequent occurrences are all caused by the unexpected fright that day. If you don’t believe in ghosts and gods, the old lady will inevitably be afraid. The first thing we need to solve is this fear."
Shen Liujia was confused by what Ling Yun said. He understood a little but couldn't believe it was true.
"You prepare the things I need to open the altar, and the rest is up to me."
At this moment, Shen Liujia felt that he had been deceived. This was not a medical treatment at all, but a matter of magic and ghosts. He subconsciously wanted to drive the person away, and his face turned cold.
Ling Yun had seen Su Youting's cold face so many times that he was already on guard against this expression. Before Mr. Shen could say anything, he hurriedly said, "I can guarantee that if the heart disease is gone, you can at least ask the old lady to start eating."
These words were more convincing than taking out a century-old ginseng. Shen Liujia asked suspiciously, "My mother has not eaten or drank for three and a half days. Are you sure you can do it?"
The old lady has been ill since she came back that day. She hasn't eaten enough water and rice. Whenever she eats or drinks warm tea, she feels unbearable abdominal pain.
Mr. Shen was almost worried to death because of this matter. Now that he heard that Ling Yun could ask the old lady to eat, he no longer cared about the magic tricks. He immediately agreed and asked people to prepare according to Ling Yun's instructions. thing.
