Chapter 145 Which page does the wind blow on? Read which page?
It's Master Gu.
Why would he speak up for her?
Zhai Rongyu raised an eyebrow.
It seems that Mr. Gu isn't so opposed to our family after all...
[Hehe, things are looking promising for my brother!]
Master Gu stepped out of the crowd, leaning on his cane, and angrily pounded the floor: "The Regent has already posted a notice at the entrance of the Prefectural Magistrate's office, clearly stating the cause of death of those people: they were all murdered!"
"What does this have to do with Miss Zhai?!"
Although it was Jun Yinghuai who ordered the incident, Zhai Rongyu, mindful of her sister's feelings, specifically instructed Jun Ce not to reveal his guilt to others.
Furthermore, when clarifying the rumors about the "demoness," there is no need to publicize it throughout the city; simply posting a notice is sufficient.
Therefore, only the names of those who carried out the act were listed.
Therefore, many ordinary people are still unaware of this matter.
As soon as Master Gu finished speaking, the crowd immediately erupted in commotion.
"Is there such a thing?"
"Did you guys go see that notice?"
Several quick-footed individuals had already hurried back.
"There really is!"
"It seems we misunderstood Miss Zhai."
"She is truly a kind and righteous person."
"Not only did he not care about being misunderstood, he was even willing to provide medical treatment for free. He is truly kind-hearted."
"I heard she's going to open a Taoist temple?"
"Such a noble spirit truly makes him a worthy cultivator of the Tao."
"When she opens for business, I'll go to her Taoist temple to pay my respects and offer some incense."
Several ordinary people who had just criticized Zhai Rongyu immediately changed their tune, saying, "I'll go too!"
Suddenly, the conversation turned to Zhai Rongyu's Taoist temple.
Zhai Rongyu's lips twitched.
These people are such opportunists...
[You read whichever page the wind blows, right?]
[They really are just ordinary bystanders, clearly enjoying the show.]
Seeing that the witch's rumors were untrue, the young man immediately walked to the stall and sat down, saying to Zhai Muling, "Girl, you are kind-hearted, please take a look at my cough and asthma."
"Cough cough..."
"I've been coughing for half a month, and it just won't get better."
Zhai Rongyu stood beside Zhai Muling, first leaning over to take his pulse before letting Zhai Muling take his pulse as well.
The young man was completely bewildered.
Zhai Muling reached out and pressed his pulse, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Young master, do you have phlegm when you cough and wheeze? Is your cough more frequent at night than during the day?"
The young man nodded. "I have all the symptoms that the young lady described."
Zhai Muling examined his mouth and nose again, and asked about some other details before asserting, "I will prescribe you a Su Zi Jiang Qi Tang (Perilla Seed Qi-Regulating Decoction), which uses Chinese herbs such as perilla seeds, pinellia, angelica, and magnolia bark. After decocting and taking it, it will help you regulate your qi, relieve asthma, and stop coughing."
She glanced at Zhai Rongyu and saw her smiling and giving her a thumbs up, which put her at ease as she prepared the medicine.
While she was preparing the medicine, Zhai Rongyu bent down and said to Zhai Muling, "Sister, I'm going to say a few words to Master Gu. I'll be back in a bit."
Zhai Muling glanced at Old Master Gu's retreating figure and nodded.
Zhai Rongyu lifted her foot and chased after him, "Uncle Gu, please wait!"
Old Master Gu suddenly stopped in his tracks.
He turned around, looked at Zhai Rongyu's face, and coughed lightly, saying, "Miss Zhai, is there something you need?"
Zhai Rongyu curtsied to him.
"Thank you for speaking up for me, Uncle Gu."
Mr. Gu turned his face away awkwardly and said, "I was just stating the facts, not speaking up for you on purpose."
Zhai Rongyu smiled, pursing her lips, and said, "Yes, I know."
"You just can't stand those people talking nonsense, right?"
A muffled groan escaped from Master Gu's nose.
Zhai Rongyu suddenly became serious and said, "The rumors outside killed my mother. You hated these people for talking nonsense, which is why you spoke up for me, right?"
Old Master Gu froze, turning to look at her: "You've found out the cause of your mother's death?"
Zhai Rong nodded.
"I sent Fourth Concubine to Dali Temple, and Second Concubine has been sold off. They have both received their due punishment."
A sharp glint flashed in her eyes.
"There is another person who caused my mother to suffer this calamity."
Master Gu clenched his cane tightly and gritted his teeth as he said, "It's Helian Kuangmo."
Zhai Rongyu looked at him, her gaze serious and resolute: "I will not let any of those who harmed my mother go!"
Mr. Gu met her gaze with some surprise, "You want to go to Nansang?"
Zhai Rongyu slightly curved the corners of her lips, her eyes shining like stars.
"I will kill him myself!"
"I just hope that Uncle Gu and my father can resolve their differences."
Old Master Gu tapped the ground with his cane, somewhat angrily, "Nan Sang is dangerous. You're just a young girl; going there would be suicide!"
"If Zhai the Fox agrees, he doesn't need to be a father anymore!"
Zhai Rongyu chuckled.
She blinked gently and said, "Uncle Gu, have you forgotten? I'm a vixen."
"A scourge can live for a thousand years; how can it be so easy to die?"
Old Master Gu closed his eyes slightly and said in a muffled voice, "What are you saying?"
However, her skills are indeed impressive.
Even the Three Pure Ones are no match for her; perhaps she really could eliminate Helian Kuangmo.
He glanced at Zhai Rongyu's face and suddenly advised, "Your mother is dead, let bygones be bygones."
"You're about to marry the Regent, you should enjoy your life."
Why risk your life in Nansang?
Zhai Rongyu tilted her head and said, "Is Uncle Gu concerned about me?"
Old Master Gu choked, then turned his head angrily, "This old man has no interest in the affairs of your Zhai family!"
Looking at Master Gu's legs, Zhai Rongyu was deeply moved. "Uncle Gu sacrificed his legs to save my mother."
"Uncle Gu's kindness is deeply appreciated by our Zhai family."
Master Gu snorted.
He didn't say anything, but he thought to himself:
That fox spirit wouldn't be grateful to him at all.
"Today I'm shamelessly asking Uncle Gu for a favor, and I hope you can grant it," Zhai Rongyu said sincerely.
Master Gu looked up at her, but did not answer in a deep voice, as if he had guessed what she wanted.
Zhai Rongyu stepped forward and whispered, "Even if you don't forgive Father, please don't stop my brother and Sister Xiruo's marriage, okay?"
Her voice was clear and cold, as if it came from a distant place.
"If my mother were still alive, she would not want her son to suffer emotional torment again."
Mr. Gu's heart clenched suddenly.
He turned around, his face backlit, and said in a deep voice, "I'm old, I don't want to care about so much."
Zhai Rongyu understood the implication in his words and asked happily, "So you agree?"
Master Gu snorted again, tapped his cane, and then walked away.
Upon hearing the sound of the cane hitting the ground, Zhai Rongyu knew that he had agreed, and her face immediately lit up with joy.
【Very good! 】
[I'll tell my brother the good news when I get home!]
[Send him to the Gu family to propose marriage!]
Zhai Rong turned and walked towards the stall.
In the corner, a figure quietly left.
Anhe Palace.
Qiu Jin passed the information from the spy to Consort Kang.
"Your Majesty, the two Zhai sisters are now setting up a free clinic in the capital, and they are very popular with the people."
Kang Cairen sneered and threw the handkerchief she had used to wash her hands into the basin of water.
Water droplets splashed out suddenly.
"Zhai Rong and the Regent have tricked me, and they still want to get away unscathed and reap both fame and fortune?"
"They've certainly got a good plan!"
She narrowed her eyes and instructed Qiu Jin, "Send a few people over there..."
Qiu Jin immediately went to do it.
Kang Cairen stroked her long nails, her eyes icy cold.
Zhai Rongyu, you've hurt me to this extent, so I'll make you pay!
