The guests in the front hall left, leaving a yard in disarray to be cleaned up.
Wenren Si was sitting in the main hall, talking about returning to the residence, when Liu Siyu limped in.
“What happened? Quickly, sit down.” The old grand consort asked with concern.
Liu Siyu glanced at Chu Jingyue timidly, then bit her lip and shook her head, “It’s, it’s nothing.”
The old grand consort immediately looked at Chu Jingyue with displeasure. She hadn’t liked her from the first moment she saw her, too unruly.
“Tell me, what exactly is going on?”
Chu Jingyue said indifferently, “I pushed her.”
“Pushing someone and not knowing you’re wrong, being so confident is truly outrageous.” The old grand consort said angrily, eager to stand up for Liu Siyu.
Chu Jingyue stood up and said, “Well, confinement at home.”
She also found these people annoying, so she simply used the excuse of confinement to avoid seeing them, and secretly investigate the temple.
“It’s a misunderstanding.” Wenren Si said in a deep voice, and looked at Liu Siyu, “Tell them yourself.”
Liu Siyu’s face immediately fell, and she lowered her head and said softly, “I saw Miss Chu holding the Prince, and mistakenly thought she was a servant in the residence who didn’t know the rules and hurt the Prince, so I wanted to push her away in an emergency, but she pushed me down instead.”
Liu Siyu lowered her head with red eyes, looking very pitiful.
The old grand consort still said to Wenren Si with dissatisfaction, “Even if there is a misunderstanding, why can’t you explain it properly? Now that your maternal grandfather has just been buried, what kind of decorum is it for her to be dragging you around?”
Chu Jingyue stood still, looked back coldly, “So?”
The old grand consort was startled by the look, and it took a long time to calm down, suppressing the great anger in her heart, “With such an impatient temperament, how can you manage the Prince of Qi’s residence in the future? You should come with me to the mountain to worship Buddha and cultivate your character.”
Originally, Chu Jingyue’s cold aura instantly disappeared, and layers of smiles were hidden in her eyes. She actually ran into it herself.
“Okay.”
She originally planned to investigate the temple, and now she had a legitimate opportunity, which just suited her.
“No.” Wenren Si did not agree, and even looked at Chu Jingyue with some vigilance.
Chu Jingyue smiled coldly, turned and walked out, “Your grandmother is right, I really need to cultivate my character.”
“Si’er, even if she unintentionally saved your life, you shouldn’t indulge her. If the inner house has no rules, how can you be at ease outside?” The old grand consort said strongly, and instructed the grand madam, “We will set off tomorrow, you must take good care of the residence.”
“Yes.”
Chu Jingyue had already packed her luggage when she returned to the Prince’s residence, and Wenren Si came over immediately.
“What is your purpose?” Wenren Si asked coldly.
Chu Jingyue leaned against the chair, seemingly casually and upright, “I said that the temple incense is related to the person who made the resentment Gu, just checking it out along the way.”
“If you want to go, this Prince can take you.” Wenren Si said in a low voice.
Chu Jingyue hooked her lips, “What? Are you afraid I’ll harm your grandmother?”
She read the defense in his eyes.
This person was really stubborn, after experiencing so many things, he still had the mind to suspect her of being ill-intentioned.
“Not entirely.” Wenren Si tilted his head slightly, he knew his grandmother’s character, and she valued rules extremely. When he was young, he had personally seen how she set rules for the grand madam.
Chu Jingyue’s eyes flashed with an interesting smile, “Since the Prince is worried, why not go together?”
Wenren Si pursed his lips, of course he couldn’t go, he hadn’t been to the military camp in the suburbs of Beijing for many days.
Even if he was in mourning, those civil officials would have to impeach him, which was annoying to hear.
“Your Highness should still enjoy the soft fragrance in the Prince’s residence.” Chu Jingyue hooked the corners of her mouth with a faint smile, teasing Wenren Si like an outsider.
Wenren Si immediately said in a deep voice, “You’re thinking too much.”
“Your Highness, the old grand consort’s nanny came to report that the old grand consort is very uncomfortable, and has sent someone to the temple to invite a master. The grand madam is worried and said to ask the Princess to go and see.”
Chu Jingyue frowned. If something happened at this time, wouldn’t there be no reason to go to the temple?
She clutched the hidden spirit bead in her hand and hurried to the old grand consort’s courtyard. The grand madam and Liu Siyu were in the room, as well as an unfamiliar woman.
“Don’t look at me! Don’t look at me! Get out, stay away from me, get out!”
The old grand consort was locked in the corner, cursing, and waving her hands non-stop.
“What’s going on?” Chu Jingyue asked.
The grand madam immediately said, “It’s been like this since returning from the Earl’s residence. Madam Liu said that her mother-in-law is possessed by an evil spirit, and also said that she often behaved like this in the temple, and it would be better to invite a monk to chant scriptures.”
“Possessed by an evil spirit?” Chu Jingyue raised her eyebrows, “If that’s the case, why bother going far away?”
She formed a hand seal with one hand and chanted a mantra.
However, there was nothing unusual in sight, and even the old grand consort had nothing to do with being possessed by an evil spirit.
“Not possessed by an evil spirit.” Chu Jingyue said lightly, and stepped forward to take her pulse, but was grabbed by Madam Liu, “What are you doing?”
Chu Jingyue looked at the hand holding her wrist, and cast a cold look, “Taking the pulse to check the illness.”
“Do you know medical skills? Get up, let Siyu do it.” Madam Liu wanted to pull Chu Jingyue away, and deliberately used force on her hand.
Chu Jingyue felt the painless itching at her wrist, and impatiently Shake off her, “You treat her.”
Wenren Si’s eyes fell on her wrist that was grabbed red, and his expression was gloomy, “She knows medical skills, let her see.”
“It was originally a handy thing, but I don’t want to see it now.” Chu Jingyue left freely, anyway, people wouldn’t die, and it was her consistent style to interfere less with other people’s karma.
Madam Liu cursed in her heart, but her face was still anxious, pushing Liu Siyu and said, “Go and take her pulse.”
Liu Siyu stepped forward with a hard scalp. In fact, what she learned in the temple was just superficial, and she really didn’t have much confidence in this situation.
She carefully stretched out her hand to pull the old grand consort’s hand, but was slapped hard, and a large area of the back of her hand turned red.
“It hurts.” Liu Siyu was instantly slapped in pain, and tears were already swirling in her eyes.
Wenren Si lost some patience, and silently went outside to find Chu Jingyue, but saw that she had not left.
“I still need to ask you for help with grandmother’s matter.”
Chu Jingyue turned around and sneered, “Your Highness, why do you always believe me when you have something to ask of me?”
Wenren Si didn’t expect her to still remember what happened just now, pursed his lips and didn’t know what to say.
Reason always told him that there were no supernatural powers in this world.
But his own experience reminded him that there were many wonders in the universe.
He himself didn’t know what to believe and what not to believe.
“When I came out just now, I checked, there was a problem with the incense she burned. It was from the same source as the incense used in your mother’s ancestral hall, but it was not exactly the same.”
Seeing that he was confused, Chu Jingyue said again, “In simple terms, it should be hysteria, a few needles will be fine.”
Wenren Si breathed a sigh of relief. Madam Liu, who was supporting her daughter to come out to comfort her, said with disdain, “A few needles? Is it as easy as you said? Do you know how long the high monks have to chant scriptures to cure this disease every time the grand consort has this disease?”
Chu Jingyue smiled coldly, “That’s because they are incompetent, not because this disease is difficult to cure.”
In the meantime, the servants had already led a group of monks in monk’s robes into the courtyard, and the old monk at the head recited Amitabha.
“Little benefactor, please think twice before you speak, so as not to have too many verbal obstacles and add karma to yourself.”
