Chapter 41 I'll meet her in person!
Lu Yangyang asked Lan Shi.
Lan was taken aback.
Everyone in the manor knew about the arrival of the Fairy of Goodness. She didn't hide anything from anyone when she said those things. Although she had immediately instructed Granny Hui to tell the servants not to talk nonsense, rumors are hard to stop.
She had been worried that Lu Yangyang had come for this reason when she came in.
When she was about to take her own pulse, Lan became even more worried.
So after thinking about it, I decided to speak first, afraid that Yangyang would misunderstand me.
She never expected that Lu Yangyang's first question would be whether the Fairy of Supreme Goodness knew medicine, which left her speechless.
"This..." Madam Lan hesitated for a while before saying uncertainly, "It shouldn't be. The Fairy of Goodness mostly reads people's birth charts and answers questions for nobles. She is skilled in this art and is therefore very popular among nobles."
Lu Yangyang seemed to be deep in thought.
Just then, a voice came from the doorway, "Third Miss, Fifth Young Master."
Lan's expression changed slightly, and she subconsciously looked towards Lu Yangyang.
Lu Yangyang didn't miss the panic on Lan's face, but she didn't take it to heart and naturally let go of Lan's hand.
Looking at her empty hands, Lan felt a sudden emptiness in her heart.
Sheng Yunzhu walked in and saw Lu Yangyang. Her eyelids blinked slightly, and her eyes instantly reddened. With each step forward, she looked at Madam Lan with concern: "Mother, are you feeling better? I'm already..."
Sheng Yunzhu glanced at Lu Yangyang discreetly, seemingly hesitant, but still made up her mind and said, "I have already spoken with the Fairy of Shangshan. She said that after we go back, she will ask Abbess Bilian to refine some Heart Nourishing Pills, which will be of some help to my mother's health."
"Is this true? The imperial physician also said that if we could get the Heart Nourishing Pills from Qinglian Temple, Mother's illness might be cured." Sheng Junye said excitedly from the side, "It is said that the Heart Nourishing Pills from Qinglian Temple are only supplied to the palace, and the quantity is limited. Even the Empress Dowager only gets two pills a month."
"If that's the case, that would be wonderful. Thank goodness, Third Miss has really gone to great lengths." Granny Hui walked in and overheard their conversation. She was also delighted. These days, Lan Shi's health had deteriorated rapidly, and she had been praying to the gods and Buddhas every day out of worry. She had even considered asking for a heart-nourishing pill, but while heart-nourishing pills were easy to obtain, those from Qinglian Temple were extremely rare.
It is said that the Qinglian Temple's Nourishing Heart Pill contains two rare medicinal ingredients that are different from the ordinary Nourishing Heart Pill. However, no imperial physician has been able to decipher what these ingredients are. Therefore, the whole capital knows that the Qinglian Temple's Nourishing Heart Pill is a miraculous medicine for nourishing the heart and calming the mind. However, there is nothing that can be done about it. It is extremely rare and worth a thousand gold pieces. Moreover, it is available but not available for sale.
"I'm willing to do anything as long as it helps my mother's health," Sheng Yunzhu said softly.
"If there's nothing else, I'll be going now." Lu Yangyang, too lazy to watch their back-and-forth performance, stood up.
The atmosphere in the room froze for a moment, as if no one had noticed that Lu Yangyang was there.
Sheng Junye glanced at Lu Yangyang, somewhat hesitant to provoke her, but looking at his frail mother, he couldn't help but say, "Can't you leave the Duke's mansion? What use are you here?"
"Xiao Wu, don't say that." Sheng Yunzhu hurriedly pulled Sheng Junye aside, bit her lip lightly, and looked at Lu Yangyang: "Yangyang, don't blame Xiao Wu. He was just too worried about Mother's illness. I know that what happened today might make you misunderstand, but... I'd rather the person the Fairy of Benevolence was talking about was me, that I was the one who left Mother. As long as Mother can get better, I'm willing to do anything..."
As Sheng Yunzhu spoke, tears involuntarily streamed down her face.
"Then how do you know that the person she's talking about isn't you?" Lu Yangyang asked.
Sheng Yunzhu clenched her handkerchief, her face full of bitterness: "I know my sister hates me, but since you're not in the capital, you might not know about the abilities of the Fairy of Supreme Goodness. It's said that the Fairy of Supreme Goodness's master is from a fairy island. She's an expert in physiognomy, and even the Empress Dowager praises her highly. Even His Majesty has said that the Fairy of Supreme Goodness has supernatural powers, and it would be a great opportunity for our family to receive her guidance. My mother is ill, and I wish I could take her place. I don't ask my sister to grant my request, but I hope that my sister can consider my mother's health. It's better to believe it than not to believe it."
Lu Yangyang stared at Sheng Yunzhu, and after hearing her say those words, she suddenly laughed.
She said that she had found it strange ever since she heard about the so-called "Supreme Goodness Fairy". She had just asked Lan Shi how she could diagnose Lan Shi's illness if she was not a doctor.
After all that, it turns out it's just some kind of physiognomy or something like "better safe than sorry."
In the end, isn't it just about kicking her out?
She thought that Sheng Yunzhu had finally behaved herself during this time, but she never expected that she would set her sights on this place.
"Is that the Fairy of Supreme Virtue?" Lu Yangyang suddenly asked.
Sheng Yunzhu tightened her grip on the handkerchief and nodded slightly. "If you don't believe me, you can go and inquire."
"Enough!" Madam Lan shouted, her chest heaving slightly. She pointed outside and said, "I know my own body. I don't believe in those things. From now on, if anyone mentions any sorceresses or anything like that in front of me, don't come over. Everyone, get out. I'm tired."
"Mother, I'm sorry, it's my fault. I was just too worried about you, I..." Sheng Yunzhu looked at Lan Shi with red eyes and choked sobs, looking pitiful.
Lan turned her face away and did not look at her.
Sheng Junye couldn't take it anymore and said, "Mother, Third Sister did all this for you, how can you be so biased?"
He originally didn't want to provoke Lu Yangyang. In fact, he had felt sorry for Lu Yangyang these days, but compared to his mother's health, that pity was insignificant.
He didn't understand. This was clearly a scourge, a nemesis, so why was his mother so biased towards her?
"Fifth Young Master, please stop talking. Madam is tired; let her rest." Granny Hui hurriedly spoke up, afraid that Sheng Junye might say something that would upset Madam Lan.
Lan's face was indeed extremely pale at this moment. She clutched her chest, coughed violently a few times, and vomited a mouthful of blood.
"Madam!" Granny Hui hurriedly came over again, hugged Lan Shi in her arms, and gently helped her catch her breath.
“I…” Sheng Junye was somewhat at a loss.
“Since that Fairy Shangshan is so capable, then tomorrow you can invite her over. I will ask her myself, and if what she says is reasonable and well-founded, I will leave the Duke’s mansion and will not be an eyesore here,” Lu Yangyang said.
Several people looked at her at the same time.
"Yangyang, don't talk nonsense! I told you, I don't believe it!" Madam Lan said hurriedly, panting, afraid that Lu Yangyang would really leave.
"Are you serious?" Sheng Junye asked.
"Xiao Wu!" Madam Lan shouted again.
"Yangyang, you don't want to..." Madam Lan looked at Lu Yangyang with pleading eyes.
Lu Yangyang turned to look at Madam Lan: "Madam, you have seen it yourself. No matter how I try to explain, as long as this virtuous fairy has made up her mind about my problem, no one in this mansion will believe me. Since that's the case, I might as well ask this virtuous fairy directly and then I will give up. Besides, I don't want to bear the blame for harming you, Madam."
"I'll meet her myself!"
