After my luck was stolen, I led my whole family to defy fate and change our destiny.

Lin Xiaoxiao nestled in Gu Minghai's arms: "The people guarding outside the Gu family reported that many doctors went there today, but we don't know who is sick."

"Could it be Su Xiuran?" Gu Minghai said.

A hint of unease flashed across Lin Xiaoxiao's face: "That can't be, she's very strong."

"What? You still have sisterly feelings for her?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? What sisterly affection? She just treats me like a maid."

Gu Minghai pinched Lin Xiaoxiao's cheek: "It's good that you know. I heard there's a very famous pediatrician, I guess it's Gu Linglong."

Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes were filled with malice: "I don't even know what kind of illness it is, they've even invited a Taoist doctor."

Gu Minghai: "Most people who consult Taoist doctors are possessed by evil spirits. I'm afraid my little niece is possessed."

"Young children are easily attracted to unclean evil spirits. Could Gu Linglong have been killed by evil spirits? As her second uncle, aren't you going to check on her? Show some concern?"

Gu Minghai scoffed, "What would I go there for? To get kicked out? Gu Linglong should have died in the womb, but she still gave birth."

Lin Xiaoxiao was stunned. What did this mean? Did Gu Minghai already make his move while she was still making one?

Or does he know what he's doing?

How could you say that? That's your own niece!

Gu Minghai chuckled twice.

"I sent someone to bump into Su Xiuran's stomach, wanting my good brother to experience the taste of pain. But Gu Linglong was completely unharmed. Now Gu Linglong is possessed by an evil spirit, and I don't know if the bump caused the problem."

Seeing Lin Xiaoxiao in a daze, Gu Minghai pulled her close around the waist: "You don't think I'm cruel, do you?"

"How could that be? It was your older brother's family who wronged you first. Everything you did was justified."

"That's right, whatever I do is what Gu Mingtang should suffer. It's his fault for holding onto the title and refusing to give it to me. If he had given it to me, why would I have been repeatedly hindered in the officialdom?" Gu Minghai thought sinisterly.

Gu Linglong, who was in mid-air, was furious. She felt sorry for her mother. She had saved her, treated her like a sister, and been so good to her, but her mother said she only treated her like a maid. Did she have no conscience?

And you, Gu Minghai, actually cursed me! You also harmed my mother! Fine, fine!

Gu Linglong gave a summons, and several little ghosts floated out from underground.

"Boss, we're here!"

"Go scare these two people tonight."

The two kids looked over and said, "Don't worry, boss, leave it to us."

Gu Linglong was about to say something when she suddenly felt a suction force pulling her away, and a distant, hollow voice called her name.

"May your soul return!"

Gu Linglong's spirit was pulled into her body, and she suddenly opened her eyes: [Who is summoning me?]

"She's awake, she's awake!"

This familiar sentiment.

Chu Jingyan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead; he was genuinely afraid of ruining the sect's reputation.

Wow, it was Lao Liu who called me back; he's got some skills.

Chu Jingyan: "..."

With tears welling in her eyes, Su Xiuran hugged Gu Linglong tightly, refusing to let go: "Thank you, Sixth Prince, thank you so much!"

The others also bowed respectfully.

Chu Jingyan waved his hand, gesturing for her to get up: "It's good that Linglong is alright."

Chunhe stepped forward and replaced the tea with fresh tea, but the tea for the Sixth Prince's ritual to summon the young lady's soul had gone cold.

Hmm, I owe you a favor.

Chu Jingyan's lips curved slightly upward.

[Mommy, I'm sorry to have worried you. I'm fine now. I'm going to see Daddy in the jail.]

Su Xiuran's heart leaped into her throat, fearing that her daughter would say something she would find hard to accept.

[Father is very good. Every time Zhou Zhixing uses a case as an excuse to secretly look after him, he brings him good food and drink. Father is also clean and has not been tortured.]

Upon hearing this, Su Xiuran remembered that although her clothes were old and rough when she last met Gu Mingtang, they were still quite neat. It was likely that Zhou Zhixing had already secretly made arrangements for her at that time.

He's really thoughtful. She's really starting to think highly of this brother-in-law.

[Zhou Zhixing also confessed to his father that he would propose marriage after his father was released from prison. Hehe, I hereby unilaterally declare that I agree to the marriage between my aunt and Zhou Zhixing.]

Gu Xinyi, who was listening nearby, blushed slightly and withdrew her hand that was about to hug Gu Linglong, so as not to let her niece notice anything unusual.

Gu Yu'an took Gu Linglong and held her in his arms. Gu Linglong was sweating profusely while sleeping, which frightened him quite a bit.

A servant came in to report, "Madam, the second young master has arrived."

Gu Liyao was taken aback: "Aren't I here?"

The servant hesitated, then said, "It's another second young master."

Chu Jingyan's eyes flickered slightly: "He's my second brother, Madam. Please let him in."

Su Xiuran nodded; she didn't dare to stop the prince from coming in.

"Go and invite them quickly!"

The second prince entered, and everyone bowed, saying, "Greetings, Your Highness."

"Free gift"

Chu Jingyan frowned: "Second brother, why are you here? Didn't I tell you not to come? What if you get caught?"

The second prince pulled his hat down: "Don't worry, I'm disguised, no one will know."

"I'm here because I have something important to tell you."

Chunhe served tea, and the Second Prince gently scraped away the tea leaves: "I came to tell you as soon as I received the news."

"I'm telling you, the Imperial Astronomical Bureau says there might be a severe drought this year, and the Prime Minister has already sent people to Yangzhou to buy up large quantities of grain. He came to ask me if I'd like to buy any."

The second prince finished speaking and raised an eyebrow smugly: "How about that? Don't say I didn't take you guys with me because I've struck it rich. My men haven't even set off yet; they're waiting for you all to come along."

"Tell me how much you plan to buy, and I'll be generous and have my people handle the purchase and transportation." With that, he went to hug Gu Linglong.

See, little sister? Aren't I great? You're probably totally smitten by my charm!

The second prince happily swung Gu Linglong around in his arms, saying, "Little girl, haven't I been good to you?"

Gu Yu'an and the others, knowing that it was about to rain, looked at the Second Prince with expressions that were hard to describe.

The second prince smiled and said, "Oh, don't thank me too much, and don't be shy. Just treat me to a meal at Tianxiang Restaurant once you've made some money."

Gu Linglong, nestled in his arms, kicked him: "Thank you my ass, Mom! Brother, don't listen to him, I reckon it'll rain tomorrow!"

[If you buy grain, you'll lose a fortune! Let the Prime Minister buy more, hahaha, he'll lose a fortune!]

The second prince's hand trembled, and it said, "Will it rain tomorrow?"

No way, that's the Imperial Observatory, they've never made a mistake, and it really hasn't rained for a long time.

The second prince looked down at the baby in his arms. Was she really that amazing?

They can even calculate when it will rain?

Ultimately, he trusted Gu Linglong more than the Imperial Observatory.

Gu Yu'an's prejudice against the Second Prince lessened considerably, and he didn't want him to be taken advantage of: "Thank you, Second Prince, but we won't make money by exploiting the common people."

The second prince choked, that wasn't what he meant at all!

"If there is a severe drought, the people's crops may be completely lost. The Imperial Observatory and the government will then try to release water to save the grain. Whether the price of grain will rise is still unknown."

"I advise Your Highness to proceed with caution."

The second prince nodded upon hearing this: "Brother Yu'an is absolutely right. I'll wait and see; there's no rush."
