May this scumbag husband, who favored his concubine over his wife, rest in peace.

"Luckily, no one else came to call that day. Otherwise, if someone had died, would it be the responsibility of our Xinglin Hall or your Marquis's Mansion?!"

"As Mr. Zhou said, this trend must not be allowed to continue. Otherwise, if everyone follows suit, what will Xinglin Hall become, and what will Mr. Zhou become!"

Pei Zeyu felt increasingly uneasy as he listened.

Mr. Zhou had visited once, so he knew about this matter.

That was someone Xie Qianjiao invited.

He thought Xie Qianjiao had used some clever method to invite people over, but it turned out to be so simple and crude.

Now look what's happened; we've completely offended them.

Pei Zeyu took a deep breath, wanting to say something more, but the man spoke again: "Anyway, Old Master Zhou will definitely not go again. If the Marquis doesn't mind, the other doctors from Xinglin Hall can go with the Marquis."

The doctors at Xinglintang were the best in the capital, so Pei Zeyu dared not complain.

Seeing that he couldn't invite Mr. Zhou, Pei Zeyu had no choice but to take an ordinary doctor back with him.

After returning home, the old lady was also dissatisfied with the doctor. Pei Zeyu stepped forward and explained, and the old lady's face immediately turned ugly, but she stopped making a fuss.

If this continues, I'm afraid we won't even be able to keep this person.

Knowing that the Marquis's family had fallen out with Old Master Zhou, the old lady was very upset.

But... after all, it was she who insisted on having Mr. Zhou come over. Although Xie Qianjiao's method was flawed, she can't be entirely blamed.

The old lady sighed deeply, but ultimately said nothing.

So the doctors from Xinglintang started coming twice a day, adjusting the prescriptions and performing acupuncture, and the old lady's condition did indeed improve a lot.

That day, Xie Qianjiao came to pay her respects to the old lady. Seeing that she still seemed a little unhappy, she said, "Aunt, since the doctor can't cure your illness, why don't we... find someone to come and exorcise the evil spirits?"

The old lady's face twitched: "You mean there's something unclean here?"

In an instant, even though the sun was shining brightly outside, everything seemed eerie to the old lady.

Xie Qianjiao quickly said, "I didn't mean that. It's just that you haven't been feeling well, so I was thinking of trying a different method. Maybe it will work."

Upon hearing this, the old lady couldn't help but have her own thoughts.

Pei Zeyu had come with Xie Qianjiao. Upon hearing Xie Qianjiao's words, he frowned slightly: "How can you believe in talk of ghosts and gods?"

Xie Qianjiao winked at him, pulled him to a corner, and whispered, "Auntie might just be upset, like last time. Since we can't invite Mr. Zhou now, we have to think of other ways to make Auntie feel better, right?"

What she said makes a lot of sense.

Pei Zeyu nodded: "Then let's do it that way. You've thought of everything."

Xie Qianjiao then began to take charge of the matter.

When the news reached the main courtyard, Wen Yuanshu couldn't help but raise an eyebrow: "This Miss Xie really knows how to stir things up; she can even come up with such a method."

“That’s right,” Chunhua said. “Miss Xie has already gone to look for people. Madam, what should we do?”

“What can we do? The ledger is in their hands,” Wen Yuanshu shrugged. “We can only wait for Miss Xie to set up the scene and then go and join in the fun.”

Chunhua nodded, her expression turning somewhat strange: "But Madam, the Marquis's mansion is much wealthier than we thought. Miss Xie has been spending so much money for so long, and she still hasn't spent it all."

Wen Yuanshu chuckled: "It's the accumulation of several generations, how could it possibly be spent in a short time?"

Chunhua pouted: "I'm just curious, what will the old lady's expression be when she finds out about this!"

Wen Yuanshu's eyes flashed slightly: "I'm curious too."

The Marquis's residence was bustling with activity for the next few days.

Xie Qianjiao had hired a master to perform a ritual, and it was a grand affair. It took two days just to set up the venue, and the amount of money spent was unknown.
