Chapter 50 Avoiding Seeing
Ling Chu didn't want to get involved in the family affairs of Prince Jing's mansion, and Princess Jing could understand that.
Besides, something like this happened in the mansion, and the prince certainly didn't want to let the family scandal spread.
Since the unlucky thing had been found, Miss Ling had helped a lot today, so she couldn't force her to stay.
Although Miss Ling was not very old, her master Xuan Yi Zhenren was a master respected even by the national teacher. It seemed that she had been fostered in Xuanqing Temple for these years and learned a lot from her master.
This trip to Prince Jing's mansion not only took in the female puppet, but also helped find the two unlucky things. Miss Ling was simply the lifesaver of her and Jing'er.
Princess Jing had a good impression of Ling Chu. Seeing that she was leaving, she asked General Manager Liu to prepare a generous gift, and ordered the housekeeper nanny beside her to send her out of the mansion.
Ling Chu was brought by Ning Chuyi. She was leaving, and Ning Chuyi followed to say goodbye to Prince Jing and his wife.
Prince Jing sent the two to the gate of the mansion.
Before leaving, Ling Chu took out a brocade bag and handed it to Prince Jing, "You are stained with evil spirits. Here is a talisman to drive away evil spirits and a protective mirror. Remember to carry them with you every day and never leave them."
When Prince Jing heard that it was a life-saving thing, he immediately reached out with bright eyes and took it, patting his chest and said, "Miss Ling, if you need help in the future, you can ask someone to come to Prince Jing's mansion to find me. With my protection, you can walk sideways in Kyoto in the future."
Ling Chu twitched her mouth and didn't take Prince Jing's words to heart.
"Thank you, Prince, but I have no interest in being a crab. Although I helped you today, your mother also gave you a generous gift."
It's not that Ling Chu is aloof, but when she encounters something, she always likes to solve it by herself. Besides, favors should be used on the blade.
Chang An was standing aside, remembering Ling Chu saying that he was smelly and had Yin Qi on him, so he shamelessly went forward to ask Ling Chu to give him a talisman as well.
Ling Chu did not refuse, and took out another talisman and handed it to Chang An, "Ten taels for my sincere favor."
Chang An was stunned, he did not expect that he would have to pay for this talisman.
However, thinking of the female puppet, Chang An was afraid that he would have Yin Qi on him, and something would happen, so he did not dare to have any opinions about Ling Chu, took out the silver note and handed it over, and then took the talisman and put it in his arms.
Ning Chuyi and Ling Chu came out of Prince Jing's mansion, one riding a horse and the other riding a carriage.
After getting on the carriage, Ling Chu casually pinched a spell, unlocked the blocked sense of smell, and breathed a long sigh of relief.
The Prince of Jing had the smell of Yu Xiuyue's corpse on him, so in order not to faint from the stench, she had to seal her sense of smell.
"Miss Ling, what technique did you use to draw Yu Xiuyue today? It looks so realistic." Ning Chuyi was very surprised by the painting that Ling Chu drew today.
He had never seen such a realistic painting method before. He wanted to ask when he was in Prince Jing's Mansion, but he didn't speak because the occasion was not appropriate.
"That's a sketch." After a tiring day, Ling Chu felt a little drowsy after getting on the carriage. When she heard what Lord Ning said, she didn't care and just said it casually.
I wanted to ask what a sketch is, but seeing her pale face, eyes closed and tiredly leaning on the carriage, Ning Chuyi swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
Miss Ling's sketch is really realistic. If it is used to draw the wanted criminals of the court or the portraits of the criminals, it must be very effective.
But she is not in good health, so she can only ask her about the sketch drawing method another day.
Ling Chu was so tired that she fell asleep on the horse, and she didn't know that Lord Ning had his own ideas again.
When she returned to the gate 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 the carriage, Ning Chuyi couldn't help but say, "You are really careless. You are not afraid that you will be sold after falling asleep."
"Didn't Lord Ning say that he was a smart man and would not do a business that would lose money? In this case, what else should I worry about?"
Seeing that he had nothing to say, Ling Chu waved his hand casually, "Lord Ning, goodbye."
Ning Chuyi saw her throw down the words and turn into the mansion. He was silent for a moment, and turned around helplessly and rode away with the guards.
"Oh, Miss, you finally came back?"
As soon as Ling Chu stepped into the flower hall, the second wife heard the movement and couldn't help but sneer as soon as she opened her mouth.
"Second Aunt, are you thinking about me? I didn't know that Second Aunt cares so much about the young people in the mansion."
The Second Madam choked. Who would care about a disaster star that harms all 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, seeing that she was carrying a lot of things in her hands, the Second Madam's eyes flashed, and she swallowed back the dissatisfaction that was about to come out.
After Ling Chu left today, the Second Madam thought that she was penniless now, so she went back to her parents' home.
Originally, she wanted to borrow some money from her parents' home, but the gatekeeper didn't even let her in when he saw her. When she asked the reason, the servant just said that the masters of the mansion were out, and it was not good to let an outsider in.
The Second Madam was angry and furious when she heard it, but no matter what she said, the servant wouldn't let her in.
In fact, it was not only the Second Madam who went back to her parents' home to borrow money. The first and third wives, several concubines, and even the first and third masters went out to find relatives and friends today, hoping to borrow some money to get through the current difficulties.
But except for the eldest lady who borrowed fifty taels from her parents' home, everyone else returned empty-handed.
The former relatives and old friends of the House of the Minister of Revenue were all worried that if they still had contact with the people of the Ling Mansion, they would be implicated by them and be disliked by the emperor, ruining their own future, so they all avoided them.
The masters who were away had been talking so hard, but they didn't borrow half a tael of silver.
The eldest lady thought of going back to her parents' home, and her father, mother, brother and sister-in-law who once loved her all avoided her. Her mother only asked the nanny to secretly give her fifty taels of silver notes, and her heart was like a thousand-year-old cold pond.
She used to be the eldest lady of the Shangshu Mansion, and everyone greeted her with a smile. Now that she was down and out, she immediately avoided her like a snake and scorpion. This gap made the eldest lady angry and jealous, but also very unwilling.
Now that her husband has become a bachelor, she can only rely on her eldest son, and she must find a way to find a future for him.
Concentrating her thoughts, Dong waved to her eldest daughter lovingly, "Chu Jie'er, you must be hungry, come here, we're waiting for you to eat."
Ling Chu had been busy all day and hadn't eaten much. Seeing the food on the table, she washed her hands and sat down to eat.
Perhaps because she saw that Ling Chu brought back a lot of things today, everyone was quite gentle to her, and even the second wife didn't make a fuss.
After the meal, Ling Chu picked out a few supplements from the Princess of Jing and gave them to the Lady Tai to replenish her body, and took a few suitable for Ling Hao to eat and gave them to Dong.
She also divided the cloth she brought back.
In addition to the supplements and cloth, the Prince of Jing's Mansion also gave Ling Chu three thousand taels of silver notes as a thank-you gift. With the three thousand taels, Ling Chu didn't mind using those supplements and cloth to exchange for a quiet life.
Perhaps because she had received a lot of cold eyes when she went out today, this time when she took Ling Chu's things, everyone smiled for the first time.
That morning, just as the sky was turning pale, Ling Chu suddenly felt the surroundings getting cold, and just as he opened his eyes, he woke up from his dream.
He happened to see the ghost of Ge coming through the wall from outside.
