Aunt Chen is back from the world of cultivation

You must never let the doctor from the Zhang family's direct branch take your pulse!

Otherwise, her previous infertility would be exposed, leading to very serious consequences.

She had lost too much blood before, and her pulse felt by Doctor Zhong and other doctors in Nandu City was completely different from what it is now.

They would not pay attention to her pulse to see if she was still infertile when she was bleeding to death.

Moreover, if you don’t think in this direction, you won’t specifically study the differences in the pulse patterns.

But the current situation is not as urgent as it was then, and she can't guarantee that Dr. Zhong will not find anything unusual.

If he were to find out, just because he had bribed Doctor Zhong to lie about Pei Jin's poisoning, it would be tantamount to confessing to the poisoning.

She absolutely couldn't take such a risk!

"Tell them that I have already asked someone to see a doctor and now I need to rest and don't need them to visit me."

The maid took the order and left.

But not long after, Nanny Li and others came in by themselves.

Zhang was immediately furious:

"I told you not to visit. Who let you in?"

Seeing that she still dared to lose her temper and put on airs with her, Nanny Li sneered sarcastically:

"We are the distinguished guests of the Marquis of Jingnan's Mansion. How can we not come to your Yaoguang Courtyard where you are guilty?"

Zhang continued to get angry:

"I knew it. You really are here to laugh at me!"

"Get out! If you don't get out, don't blame me for being rude!"

Nanny Li had always acted like an elder in front of Zhang, and she could not bear being scolded by Zhang like this.

He just snorted coldly and left:

"You took my kindness for granted. I'll burn incense and pray to the Buddha, so that you won't have the chance to beg an old slave like me for help!"

She never expected that she would be rejected so warmly.

Moreover, seeing that Zhang still has the energy to lose her temper, I'm afraid her illness is not that serious.

If that's the case, why should she make herself miserable?

I thought that Zhang must have been severely punished by the Marquis, and could no longer show off how favored and powerful she was as the Marquis's wife. She was embarrassed and that's why she reacted so strongly.

For a moment, I didn’t think of going anywhere else.

Only then did Zhang successfully overcome this crisis.

*

Although the report Chen Qingzhu heard was not detailed enough to know every word, it did not miss any major events that had happened recently around Pei Xiao and Zhang.

The reason why I know so much is naturally because the money is in place.

Zhang Liu took the gold from her last time and bribed the more important figures in Jingnan Marquis Mansion and Pei Xiao's surroundings.

In this way, all their movements could not escape her eyes and ears.

Judging from the fact that Zhang's house arrest was not lifted and her housekeeper rights were not restored, Pei Xiao should have no idea that he was impeached by the Censor.

This is the best news.

This shows that Censor Yuan’s memorial was neither intercepted by his former political enemies nor discovered by the Zhang family.

Otherwise, this matter would definitely leak to Pei Xiao.

Pei Xiao would never be so calm. In order to overcome the crisis with the help of the Zhang family and Concubine Shu, he would never treat Zhang like this again.

Based on her understanding of the Emperor, he would not ignore it as long as he saw the memorial from Censor Yuan.

For him as an emperor, it was no big deal for the powerful to bully others.

However, everyone in the city knew that this powerful official was bullying others by abusing his power, and if he was not punished, it would affect his image as a wise man in the hearts of the people.

Moreover, in order to prevent the matter from reaching his ears, this powerful official bribed all his informants in the Southern Capital, which was a big taboo.

In addition, Pei Xiao was a nobleman... it would be unjust if he was not punished.

Now, I'm afraid they have already sent people to Nandu City to conduct a secret investigation.

However, although it was assumed that things were going smoothly, she had to be careful not to fall into trouble until the moment when Pei Xiao was actually dealt with.

After all, Pei Xiao has not given up on finding out the details of Cihang Temple.

If they find out about the impeachment, they will go all out to take revenge on Cihang Temple, the culprit. The unprepared Cihang Temple may not be able to bear it.

He told Zhang Liu to continue monitoring the Marquis of Jingnan and his wife, and then said:

"Tell Captain Li to keep a close eye on Marquis Jingnan's troop movements. If there are any plans that are detrimental to Cihang Temple, notify Co-Director Yan immediately."

After that, he asked Huijing to get a five-hundred-liang silver note and handed it to Zhang Liu:

"Recently, it is inconvenient for you to have close contact with Cihang Temple. For safety reasons, go to the foot of the mountain to find a reputable escort agency and hire a group of escorts to monitor the people coming and going on the way up the mountain."

There is only one way up the mountain from the Nandu City.

If Captain Li didn't notice Pei Xiao's movements, this would also be a safeguard.

Zhang Liu was moved again that the temple master actually cared so much about the safety of these minions.

It is such a blessing to follow such a master.

"Thank you, Master. I will do my best to complete your task!"

*

After settling down in Nandu City, I rested for just one day.

The next day, Zheng Yuannai and his wife visited the Qin family to ask about the rules of burning incense and offering sacrifices.

Early in the morning on the third day, I went to Cihang Temple with the prepared offerings.

Logically speaking, the fifteenth would be in four days, so they could go on the fifteenth.

But Zheng Yuannai and his wife felt that there would be too many pilgrims during the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, and Cihang Temple might not be able to remember them, so it would be better for them to go earlier for the first time.

The Du family did not give up this good opportunity to build closer relations and went along enthusiastically.

Zheng Yuannai did not refuse.

After all, it was his first time to go to Cihang Temple, and he was nervous. He also wanted to become a devout believer as soon as possible. It would naturally be safer to have an old man leading the way.

General Zheng was a third-rank official and was in charge of the grain transport, so he was extremely wealthy.

The first time he went to the temple to burn incense, Zheng Yuannai directly spent eight hundred taels of silver to prepare offerings.

In order to deepen the impression, after burning incense and praying, he also said to the Taoist Master Huiyun who was in charge of reception:

"I am Zheng Yuannai, the son of the general of Yangzhou. I was saved by the immortal dew of the temple master. I came here to express my gratitude! I wonder if I will be lucky enough to meet the temple master in person to thank him for saving my life?"

He actually had some thoughts in mind when he said this.

It would be best if the temple master was willing to meet him because of his identity and he could leave a good impression on the temple master directly.

Even if the abbot doesn't want to see him, his identity will at least make the Taoist Huiyun, who is in charge of reception, look at him differently.

He never expected that even after he introduced himself, Taoist Huiyun didn't even show any fluctuation in his eyes.

"Good believers, according to the rules of Cihang Temple, only devout believers are qualified to meet the temple master. But you have to wait for the temple master to summon you."

Although his attitude was gentle, it was clearly alienated from the world.

Alas, his identity is of no use at all.

Having personally experienced the master's divine power, he certainly did not have any resentment at all.

He just thought that since his worldly identity was useless, he would make offerings with a sincere heart and one day he would be recognized by the master of the temple.

"I am the one who doesn't know the rules. I am so presumptuous!"

He bowed to apologize and said:

"I heard that the Salesian Hall in the Taoist temple is under construction?"

"Yes."

"The master of the temple is kind and helpful to the world, and we believers should follow closely..."

As he said this, he donated an additional 500 taels of charity to the Salesian Church.

Now, there was finally a hint of admiration in Taoist Huiyun's eyes when he looked at him.

Zheng Yuannai felt as if he had received the highest reward and was extremely excited.

On the fifteenth day, he came early again.

There are quite a few devout believers this time.

After the worship, everyone saw a new face, a skinny young man, and they couldn't help but curiously inquire about his identity.

Through Qin Dafu's introduction, we learned that this was the son of the general of Yangzhou. In order to become a devout believer of the temple master, he moved to the Nandu city to live.

Except for Mrs. Du who knew about it, the rest of the believers were all shocked.

In order to become a devout believer, he even moved from Yangzhou to Nando City. What sincerity he had!

Moreover, this person's identity is so extraordinary.

A great enemy!

Everyone felt a sense of crisis.

The young man is so sincere, they have to work harder to avoid being overtaken by him!

Moreover, how come the master’s reputation has spread to Yangzhou? Could it be that something extraordinary has happened again?

Fearing that a large number of highly competitive pilgrims would suddenly appear as rivals, everyone couldn't help but ask how Zheng Yuannai became connected with Cihang Temple.

Everyone was shocked again when they learned that he was pulled back from the brink of death by the temple master's bottle of magic dew at the moment of his last breath.

They had previously believed that colds were common and easily fatal, and that the magic dew could save their lives.

I never expected that the magic dew could even cure tuberculosis, a terminal disease with no chance of survival!

Seeing everyone excited, Huiyun was secretly satisfied with the publicity effect brought by Zheng Yuannai, but she said calmly:

"I have always told you that the master of the temple can cure all kinds of diseases and injuries. It is just tuberculosis. There is nothing to be surprised about."

There has never been a moment when everyone has such a profound understanding of the saying that the temple master can cure all kinds of diseases and injuries.

Even Madam Zeng and Madam Yan, who were already devout believers, were afraid of being squeezed out by newcomers.

The desire of the wives of wealthy businessmen to become devout believers has reached an unprecedented level.

Only the Qin family has occupied a position of popularity in front of the master of the temple, and can watch from the sidelines and feel honored.

Mrs. Liu from the richest man's family reacted the fastest. She looked left and right and finally found some poplar flowers floating in from outside in the yard. She immediately took the lead and said:

"How can there be falling leaves and flying flowers in this important place of Taoism? Where's the broom? I'll go and sweep it!"

As he said this, he went looking for a broom everywhere.

The others reacted and also competed to try to find something to do.

However, the female Taoists in Cihang audience each had their own duties, and it was not easy to find work, so everyone immediately prepared to snatch the work from the female Taoists.

Fortunately, Huiyun stopped it in time and avoided a farce.

At this point, the pilgrims became more devout to Cihang Temple.

After returning home, they racked their brains to think of ways to gain recognition as soon as possible.

*

After this day, Pei Xiao, who had always wanted to find out the details of Cihang Temple, finally felt that he had found the flaw after learning that Zheng Yuannai was the new pilgrim.

He has little dealings with those merchants, and even if he asks them, they won't tell the truth, and it will only alert the enemy.

But Zheng Yuan is different.

His father, General Zheng, was a military general like him, and they both served as officials near the Southern Capital, so the two sides had contacts in the past.

Actually, Zheng Yuannai has to call him uncle.

If he went to ask in person, would Zheng Yuannai still not give him this face?
