C54 Crazy Daoist

The next day, Lau Fenglan fell ill. This illness was very strange. The cause of the illness could not be found. There was a small red rash on her body. Her entire body was sickly and her spirit was a little weak. Other than that, there were no other symptoms.

It was just that the servants were spreading that Third Miss had destroyed her fan and had started to bear a grudge. They had poisoned Third Miss and caused her harm. Now, the retribution of heaven had come...

For a moment, Lau Fenglan became the target of everyone. When the servants saw her, they all walked far away.

On the third day of servant girl's arrest, Mu Ruqing had a weak body that could not withstand the wind. After visiting Lau Fenglan, her sick room became even more deserted. She thought that Mu Ruxuan and herself would go and take a look at everyone except for the old lady and her father. There was no one else.

"Sister." Mu Ruqing tried calling out a few times.

Lau Fenglan came out of the room with a bitter face and did not talk to her. There was no red rash on her face and she could vaguely see a few beads around her neck.

"Sister, do you use medicine?" Mu Ruqing poured a cup of tea for her with concern in her eyes.

"Thank you for your concern, sister. It's used." Lau Fenglan slowly raised her head and took a sip. She still had to continue acting.

"Is younger sister still angry with me?"

"Fenglan doesn't understand this."

"You are mad at me for seeing through your plan."

Seeing Mu Ruqing's composed look, Lau Fenglan pretended to be calm but her eyes started to drift, "What is older sister saying?"

"Do you know that servant girl said a name?" Mu Ruqing looked at her mockingly like a clown.

Lau Fenglan was shocked in her heart and her hands tightly grabbed the handkerchief. She mechanically pulled the corner of her mouth and her eyes avoided it. "Who is it? He has harmed third sister. This person should be punished severely!"

Mu Ruqing saw that she was tight-lipped and knew that she could not scare her. She pursed her lips and smiled and said two words meaningfully, "Guess?"

Seeing Mu Ruqing and Mrs Miao who was standing by the side of the door walk away, Lau Fenglan let out a sigh of relief. After which, her heart was filled with hatred and she could not help but throw a teacup!

Of course, servant girl did not say her name. Today was just a scam and the result... was that she was right!

After servant girl who was poisoned was arrested, she did not know how Mistress Ling interrogated. Mu Ruqing let Lingyue secretly check and only said that servant girl's clothes were tattered. Her entire body was covered in blood and her face was beyond recognition. She did not say a word when she became like this. After a few days, late at night, a servant carried a person out from the woodshed. He was covered with a white cloth...

Mu Ruqing recovered from her illness and remembered Aunt Qu's matter in her heart. She first discussed with Mrs Miao and came to the old lady's place.

The old lady had become much more haggard these few days. Her eye sockets were even deeper and her back was also a little hunched. Mu Ruqing could not help but feel some heartache. After greeting her, she went up to massage her shoulders.

The old lady revealed a rare smile in half a month, "You are just in time for your illness and you still remember me, this old lady..."

"Grandmother, don't speak nonsense. You are still young! You have to live a long life! Qing just likes to talk to grandma..."

" You, your mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter... "

" Qing is speaking the truth! "

The old lady smiled brightly and laughed heartily a few times.

Mu Ruqing found an opportunity to talk to the old lady about that matter. The old lady hesitated but could not endure her pestering and agreed!

Mu Ruqing wanted to go and see Lau Fenglan but saw that her room door was closed and she heard a sound from inside. Mu Ruqing pretended to call out but no one paid attention to her and left after laughing a few times.

Lau Fenglan looked at her back through the window and the hatred in her heart grew more and more. Her ten fingers were tightly clenched and unconsciously, a few drops of bright red liquid dripped from her palm and her teeth also made "Ke Ke Ke" sound.

"Father." Mu Po came back and just changed into his court attire and was resting at Mrs Miao's place when Mu Ruqing found him.

"You are just in time. Why aren't you resting in the yard?" Mu Po touched her head.

Mu Ruqing stomped her feet and pouted. She complained, "Qing has grown up. Why is father still touching my head?"

Mrs Miao poured tea at the side and looked at the two of them with a smile.

"In the eyes of your mother and I, you have always been a child." Mu Po laughed heartily and turned his head to look at Mrs Miao.

"Father, Qing came today to ask you something!"

"No wonder. I was talking about my precious daughter. How could she think of me if she had nothing to do with it?"

"Father, my daughter is going to be angry!" Mu Ruqing pretended to be angry and turned her head not to look at him.

"Alright, look, your daughter got angry because of you!" Mrs Miao teased from the side.

"Okay, go ahead."

"My daughter wants to have her own little garden. The flowers and plants in my courtyard will not be able to be planted. Yuan has made many new flowers and placed them in the garden of the mansion. If servant girl takes a fancy to them and breaks them, it would be a pity."

"There are only a few places to go to the west courtyard. How about it?"

"There is no need to be so troublesome. I see that the abandoned courtyard is quite good and is very close to my courtyard."

Mu Po's expression immediately collapsed. He looked around and touched his beard. Just as he was about to speak, Mu Ruqing interrupted him.

"Father, daughter knows, but something like this has happened in the recent days in the Imperial Residence. We can find a priest to pray for blessings and also play a mage there. It can also be considered as comforting the spirit of my aunt in heaven. Father... " Mu Ruqing acted coquettishly towards Mu Po while Mrs Miao helped by the side. He slowly agreed.

"Reporting to prime minister, there is a demon that is shouting outside the prefecture, saying that there is a malefic in the prefecture... I can't chase him away even if I wanted to!" Mu Po's personal servant lowered his head and reported.

"I'll go and take a look." Mu Po frowned and slowly got up to follow the servant.

Mu Ruqing and Mrs Miao followed behind and felt strange in their hearts. Why did I need a priest and send one over?

When they arrived at the manor's entrance, there was a two zhang wide vermillion door and the Emperor personally bestowed a plaque. On both sides of the plaque, there were three stone lions the size of three people.

That Daoist grabbed a lion leg and no matter how others dragged it, he did not let go and shouted, "Get lost! Do you know who I am?! You all still want to hit me!"

Seeing Mu Po let go of the lion's leg, Mu Po said, "Little Daoist is Master Shunyi's eldest disciple..." Before he could finish speaking, he was thrown out by four or five little fellows.

When Mu Po heard Daoist Priest Shunyi's name, his face darkened and he asked someone to put him down.

"Do you see that? You still want to hit me!" The young Daoist looked a little angry. He tidied his clothes and smiled as he said something to Mu Po.

Mu Ruqing and Mrs Miao stood inside the door and looked outside. They did not know what to say. After a while, Mu Po personally welcomed him into the mansion.

When the little Daoist passed by Mu Ruqing, he turned his head and smiled at her as if he knew her. However, Mu Ruqing could not remember that she knew him.

Mrs Miao let Mu Ruqing rest while she went to tidy up the abandoned courtyard.

She heard from Xiangyi that the Daoist was Shunyi's disciple. His name was Yuan Zhen. He had told Mu Po about what had happened in the nearest prefecture. He knew that these things could not be spread to the public. Since he knew about it, it naturally proved his capability. Furthermore, he was the disciple of Shunyi, so Mu Po naturally had to treat him with respect.

He heard that the old lady had been in a bad mood recently, so he went for a day. He didn't know what kind of drug she had given the old lady, but the old lady's spirit had recovered. He insisted on staying in the residence to cultivate, but he didn't refuse. Then he said something to Mu Po, the old lady, and Mrs Miao. No one knew. A few days later, Mu Po found an excuse and sent Lau Fenglan to a small courtyard outside the mansion.

This way, he could be considered to have stayed in the mansion. In the small courtyard in the southwest corner, because the Prime Minister Mansion was too big, there were many empty courtyards. There was basically no one there. If he was asked to stay in a better room, he would have to stay there.

After Mu Ruqing heard this, she pondered for a moment. Shunyi's disciple's lips curved up evilly. Shunyi is just a soul. I can't do anything to you. You have a living disciple right under my nose...

King Chu's Mansion.

Yu Longchen drew Mu Ruqing's green pill. His eyes were focused and his thin lips parted slightly. "Did you go in?"

"Yuan Zhen has already entered the Prime Minister's residence. The Prime Minister also found a reason to send Lau Fenglan out of the residence. Moreover, that illness will not heal for a year and a half!" Changxu smiled happily.

"Tian Mu's disciple is indeed not ordinary. He has been trusted by the people of the Prime Minister's residence in just a few days. Alright, you can leave now!" Receiving the brush, Yu Longchen gently blew on the ink that had yet to dry. He picked up the green pill and looked at it for a moment. Satisfied, he circled it and put it into an exquisite box. Seeing that the painting was full, he muttered, "It's time to find another beautiful box..."
