The Mystic Princess is Too Invincible! The Abstinent and Cruel King Breaks His Rules and Pampers Her
Chapter 32 Fame Spreads in the Capital! The Landlady Seeks Fortune Telling
Luo Xiaogu lay on the ground, soaking wet, her face pale and bluish, her chest no longer rising and falling.
Jiang Yuyan squatted down and patted Luo Xiaogu's chest with her small hand, "Breathe!"
"Cough cough cough-"
Luo Xiaogu coughed up water, opened her eyes in discomfort, and stared blankly at Jiang Yuyan.
"Xiao Gu! My child! Waaah, you scared your mother to death!" Madam Luo ran over, tears streaming down her face, and hugged Luo Xiao Gu, crying and scolding, "I told you not to go to the water, why didn't you listen? You're going to make your mother angry!"
Luo Xiaogu: "Cough cough cough, Mother, I'm sorry."
Wang Lanzhi quickly squatted down and comforted Madam Luo, saying, "It's alright, it's good that the child is saved."
"Brother." Luo Xiaogu lay in Madam Luo's arms, gazing longingly at Jiang Yuyan.
Jiang Yuyan frowned, then shook his head coolly, "I'm younger than you."
"The little one is only two years old, a year younger than you." Jiang Ling walked over, patted Jiang Yuyan's head, and gave him a thumbs up, praising, "The little one saved someone, so great!"
"Sweetie, you're amazing! How did you do that?"
Wang Jingkang and Wang Jingrui ran over, staring at Jiang Yuyan in astonishment, their eyes filled with intense curiosity.
Jiang Yuyan patted his chest proudly and said in a cool, childlike voice, "You're a Taoist master too, little one!"
Everyone was silent.
A two-year-old Taoist priest? People would laugh their heads off if they heard that! They'd say they'd gone mad.
But they all saw it with their own eyes!
It was Jiang Yuyan who saved Luo Xiaogu using metaphysical methods.
Wang Jingkang immediately gave a thumbs up, "Our little one is a little Taoist master, truly amazing!"
"This is what they call a tiger mother begets no dog son! The little one has truly inherited Ling'er's skills, he's amazing! He's fantastic!" Wang Jingrui clapped his hands in praise.
Jiang Yuyan blushed with pride and grabbed Jiang Ling's sleeve to cover her face.
Jiang Ling looked on with a smile.
"Thank you, Little Celestial Master, for saving Xiao Gu! Thank you!" Madam Luo recovered and immediately hugged the child, thanking Jiang Yuyan profusely. She genuinely treated Jiang Yuyan as an adult, without the slightest ambiguity or neglect.
With tears still clinging to his eyelashes, Luo Xiaogu looked at Jiang Yuyan with pleading eyes and said, "Thank you, little brother, for saving me."
Jiang Yuyan's face turned even redder. "You're welcome."
At this moment, Jiang Ling looked at Madam Luo and her child and handed them a talisman: "The child has been frightened. Carry this talisman with you to calm your nerves and dispel evil spirits."
"Thank you." Mrs. Luo accepted the gift solemnly.
The general's wife and Wang Lanzhi first led Madam Luo and her child downstairs to rest. The most important thing was to change the child's clothes to prevent him from catching a cold. When Madam Luo left, she seemed hesitant to speak, clearly wanting to say something to Jiang Ling, but considering the child's importance, she had to leave first.
Jiang Ling saw it.
She wasn't in a hurry; Mrs. Luo would come looking for her again later.
"Little one, let's go back."
"You're amazing, little one! Want to ride high up?" Wang Jingkang grabbed Jiang Yuyan with both hands and hoisted her onto his shoulders. Jiang Yuyan looked around curiously, clinging to Wang Jingkang's head as she adjusted to the height.
Wang Jingrui followed them, glancing frequently at Jiang Ling as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Jiang Ling smiled and spoke first: "Fourth Brother, what do you want to ask?"
"Ling'er, are you Jiang Ling, the exorcist who captured the demon at the Prince's mansion last night?"
"Correct."
Wang Jingrui looked at her with surprise and admiration, "Ling'er, you are amazing! This morning the whole capital was abuzz with news that your skills are second only to the Imperial Advisor! Even the Regent has petitioned His Majesty to award you!"
Hearing Murong Yan's name again, Jiang Ling's eyes flickered. She realized that Murong Yan had been omnipresent since arriving in the capital.
It seemed as if an invisible force was binding her and him together, making them inseparable.
Does a preordained marriage mean that the couple must be together?
But she felt no attraction to Murong Yan.
"Ling'er, you..."
"Stop talking. Ling'er is tired, don't disturb her!" Wang Jingkang noticed that Jiang Ling was distracted and quickly interrupted Wang Jingrui.
Wang Jingrui immediately covered his mouth.
Not wanting to disturb Jiang Ling, the Wang brothers quickly said goodbye and left after escorting Jiang Yuyan back inside. Jiang Yuyan watched the two leave, then walked to Jiang Ling's side and took her hand, "Mother, are you unhappy?"
"No." Jiang Ling suppressed her emotions and smiled gently at Jiang Yuyan.
She smiled and said, "Little one, go get your mother's tea leaves. We'll make tea; we'll have guests coming soon."
"it is good!"
Just as the tea was brewed, Mrs. Luo arrived with her child.
Wang Lanzhi entered the house with the mother and son, and introduced them, "Ling'er, Madam Luo is my close friend. She is the owner of the Imperial Auction House. She came to the Zhenbei General's Mansion today to see you."
Jiang Ling looked at Madam Luo, whose eyes were filled with eager hope, and nodded, not at all surprised.
She turned to Jiang Yuyan and smiled, "Little one, take your big brother outside to get some sun, okay?"
Madam Luo immediately pulled Luo Xiaogu aside and instructed her, "Xiaogu, you're not allowed to run around this time! Be a good girl and play with your little brother in the yard, understand?"
Luo Xiaogu's face turned pale, but she nodded obediently.
He walked up to Jiang Yuyan, extended his little hand, and said with sparkling eyes, "Little brother, my name is Luo Xiaogu. Thank you for saving me! Can we be friends?"
Jiang Yuyan coolly grasped his hand. "No need to thank me. My name is Jiang Yuyan. Let's go outside and soak up some sun. It'll be good for you."
"Uh-huh!"
The two children walked out hand in hand, a beautiful and lovely scene, and Jiang Ling smiled with her red lips curving upwards.
That's great! The little one has made a new friend.
"Master Jiang, it was you who captured the demon from the Prince's mansion, wasn't it?" Madam Luo had come to the General's mansion with suspicion after hearing the rumors. But neither the General's wife nor Wang Lanzhi knew anything about it.
Seeing Jiang Yuyan save Luo Xiaogu, Madam Luo was convinced that it was indeed Jiang Ling!
However, she needed an opening statement.
Jiang Ling nodded, thinking to herself that Murong Yan's actions had really boosted her reputation. Business opportunities were coming her way, and she felt she should thank him.
Temporarily putting Murong Yan out of her mind, Jiang Ling scrutinized Madam Luo's features and asked her, "Madam Luo, are you here to ask me to divine the whereabouts of your husband, Chairman Luo?"
"Yes! Yes, yes, yes!"
Madam Luo's eyes reddened, and she nodded repeatedly, choking back tears as she said, "My husband left the capital a year ago to do business. But he never came back. There were no letters, and we couldn't find any trace of him. I've consulted Taoist priests and monks, and they said my husband had met with misfortune."
Mrs. Luo didn't believe it.
She shook her head vigorously. "I can feel that my husband is still alive! Xiao Gu also said that he dreamed of him. Master Jiang, please help me find my husband! I will reward you handsomely! And if you want any treasure from the auction, I will not refuse!"
Wang Lanzhi sighed, "They were a young couple with a deep affection for each other. We don't know if they are alive or dead this year. Alas! Ling'er, your aunt begs you to help her."
"This is simple, but..."
Jiang Ling smiled and looked at Madam Luo, "I want to stay at your house for the night."
