Chapter Fourteen Slap in the Face

  Jin Yuangang hurried back to Jin Fu and rushed straight to Qingfeng Garden.

  Housekeeper He Tian followed behind, reminding Jin Yuan to be careful with his feet from time to time. It had been two days of continuous spring rain, and the ground was wet and slippery. If he accidentally slipped, it wouldn't be a laughing matter.

  The Qingfeng Garden on that side is now bustling with people, and it's probably the most lively day in over a decade.

  In the courtyard, an altar was set up, surrounded by swirling incense and leaping red candles. Various talismans fluttered through the air as Jinzi was forced to kneel on a mat, while Xiao Xiao and Zhuang Mama had tears streaming down their faces, being held back by several maidservants. The sound of wooden fish and chanting reverberated through the air, echoing in the dull sky above.

  Jinzi clenched his teeth and coldly laughed at those charlatans pretending to be gods.

  At first, she was still a bit afraid, after all, she had really transmigrated into Jin San Niang's body and been reborn. But after some effort, she figured out these spiritual masters. Their eloquence was quite good, deceiving those kind-hearted men and women into being dazed, but their actual abilities were nowhere to be seen. If he truly had the ability to drive away ghosts and evil spirits, why didn't she feel even a bit uncomfortable at this moment?

  But thinking about it, I've thoroughly reincarnated into Jin San Niang's body, so I shouldn't be considered a ghost. In that case, I might have wronged her, and she actually has real skills?

  Lin knelt in front of the altar, praying 'piously', muttering to herself, asking the evil spirit to leave and not bother Jin Yuanyu anymore, and not to disturb the people in the mansion. Jinzi was both amused and angry, that day when she returned from Qiu Shuangyuan, she also asked Zhuang Mama to inquire about Wu Lang's situation, later found out what Wu Lang had eaten at noon, with Jinzi's cleverness, after some deliberation, naturally knew the cat's trick in this.

  I didn't know Lin's hands and feet were so quick, before Jinzi could make a move, she started fighting back.

  Alas, you're so silly. They had planned it out early on, how could they be turned down? Jinzi smiled self-mockingly.

  Jin Yuan was dumbfounded when he arrived at the entrance of Qingfeng Garden.

  What's going on here?

  Only after asking the housekeeper He Tian did he learn that this was to exorcise evil spirits, and Jin Yuan's blood suddenly rushed up to his forehead. Looking at his daughter Jingluo being held down on her knees on the mat, his heart ached with pain.

  The humming chanting sound beside his ear made Jin Yuan's temples ache, and the mustache on his mouth twitched, the steward knew that the old master was angry.

  "What are you doing? What are you doing? Ah? All of you stop right there!" Jin Yuan bellowed with all his might.

  In an instant, the clear wind swept through the courtyard, and the sparrows fell silent. The crying, wailing, and chanting all ceased at this moment.

  Everyone was shocked and stared blankly at Jin Yuan.

  Lin finally came back to his senses and went forward to greet him, asking: "How did Master come back?"

  "What's all the commotion? Can't I come?" Jin Yuandong's voice didn't decrease in volume.

  Kanako was overjoyed and couldn't express her feelings in words. Old man, you're back just in time!

  Xiao Xiao and his mother were also delighted, they looked at each other, shook hands with each other.

  A high-ranking monk who had just finished the Buddhist ceremony walked over, bowed his head and said: "Amitabha Buddha, this donor, the ceremony is not yet complete, please be patient, otherwise it will affect the result!"

  Get out of here! What kind of nonsense are you talking about? My daughter is fine, if you scare her stupid again, I'll never let you off the hook!

  Thinking so in his heart, but he couldn't say it out loud. This high-ranking monk of Putuo Temple was revered by the common people and couldn't be insulted casually, otherwise, after being stabbed in the back, it would definitely be him who would end up dead.

  "The master is being polite. But this ritual has no need to continue, the people in this official residence are all devout and clean, how can they provoke any evil spirits? And look at my daughter Jingluo, her spirit is moving and charming, where does the talk of bad luck come from? Master, you're a high-ranking person, surely you can see that?" Jin Yuan said with a smile.

  The high monk was slightly stunned, his face flushing with heat.

  Before he could respond, Jin Yuan spoke up and said: "He Tian, give each of the masters a gift, you personally see them off back to Putuo Temple!"

  He Duan hastily agreed.

  Lin was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses. Is that it? Has the plan fallen through?

  "Old master, this, this isn't finished yet, how can you let the masters all go back?" Lin hastily said, just about to go forward and pull back those masters who were packing up their things and preparing to leave, but then remembered the distinction between men and women, and in a public place, pulling and tugging would be unseemly, so she gave up.

  But in my heart, I am very much unwilling to accept this.

  Jin Yuan glared at Lin Shi with a bad temper, grasping her well-maintained wrist, and said in a low voice: "Are you still not satisfied with the loss of face? What has the whole Taoyuan County become like? Are you not letting me show my face? You are slapping me in front of all the people in the county!"

  Lin's face suddenly turned pale, was this matter over?

  How did everyone in the county find out?

  Whose tongue is being chewed by the gossipmonger?

  A mouthful of blood almost spurted out from the repression in his heart.

  Jin Yuan no longer bothered with her, instructing the maids and servants in the courtyard to quickly clean up. He also personally helped Jinzi get up, softly comforting her.

  Kanako was deeply moved in her heart, this old dad is really reliable, and rushed back to rescue at the critical moment.

  "It's nothing serious with the daughter! But as for Rong Ge, I heard today that he still hasn't recovered. Why don't you bring your daughter to Qiu Shuang Institute together?" Jinzi suggested.

  Jin Yuan was taken aback, and after understanding the whole story, he hastily took Jin Zi to Qiufengyuan.

  Rong Ge is his eldest son, and he absolutely cannot afford to make any mistakes.

  A group of people hastily left, leaving Lin alone standing in the courtyard, trembling with anger.

  Kaneko had his father Kim Won's large flag, so naturally no one dared to stop him, and he entered the Akifuyu-in smoothly.

  Song's aunt's Qiufangyuan was swept clean, and the courtyard was also planted with various flowers and grasses. The potted plants must have been carefully maintained, and they were thriving. The peonies were blooming vigorously, their petals stained with dew, charming and enticing!

  The girls bowed respectfully and drew back the curtain to let Jin Yuan and Jin Zi enter.

  Song's wife came out to greet him with a smile, and only then did she see her husband's face. A crystal tear suddenly rolled down her cheek, crying with tears like pear blossoms in the rain, and I saw that she still loved him dearly.

  Jin Yuan had to comfort his concubine first and then asked about Rong Ge's situation in detail.

  Song Yiniang replied carefully, then pretended to be flustered, hastily kowtowed to Jinzi and apologized: "This servant was blind for a moment, didn't see the third madam, forgot to pay respects, please don't blame me, madam!"

  Jinzi didn't care whether she was being deliberate or not, and helped her up with a casual hand, saying "it's nothing". To let the two of them talk, Jinzi went into the inner room to look in on Rongge.

  The little guy has indeed lost a lot of weight, his chubby cheeks have thinned out a lot, and his complexion is also pale.

  The pulse is steady and forceful, it seems like a slow recovery.

  Song Yiniang had just seen Jinzi's movements and came in surprise: "Do you understand medicine?"

  "I don't understand, it's just that in over a decade, I've never left Qingfengyuan, but I do have some superficial knowledge!" Jin Zixin spoke nonsense with a straight face and a calm heart.

  It's not a lie, this is her real experience in modern times. There aren't many other things at home, but there are a lot of medical books. Jinzi also likes to take a look at them from time to time, and with the influence of her parents, taking pulses and prescribing medicine isn't difficult for her either.

  "Rong Geer is recovering well, but that cassava powder must never be misused again!" Jinzi said calmly.

  Song Yini was taken aback, Tapioca powder... She also knew?

  If it were through San Niang's mouth that the cause of things was told, Master would certainly believe it, and Madame would never suspect herself.

  "Third daughter, you know it's..."

  Jinzi was clever and vigilant, but how could she not see Song Niang's intentions? Only this time, she didn't want to be used by anyone again, even if it meant knowing that Rong Ge had suffered. It seemed that Song Niang had also discovered the clues of the matter, otherwise she wouldn't have reacted like that when Jinzi just mentioned the cassava powder.

  You were nowhere to be found when I was being bullied in Qingfengyuan, now you want me to help you? I don't have the compassion to save all sentient beings...

  "Know what?" Jinzi asked with a smile, "Qingluo doesn't understand what you're referring to!"

  This is unwilling to help!

  Song Yiniang's eyes rolled around and she replied: "Don't worry, I will take good care of Ge'er with all my heart. You can rest assured, madam and master!"

  "Alas, take good care of yourself! You've only been back for a few days and already there's chaos everywhere. And there are still many troubles at the yamen..."
