Chapter 538: Looking for the Longevity Lock Again
"Who is it?" Shao Yanru was overjoyed and asked anxiously.
"Taoist Priest Xiu Shui, she is good at this and has easy access to the inner chamber." Master Pu Ming said with a smile.
"But Taoist Priest Xiushui of Baiyun Temple?" Shao Yanru thought for a while, and immediately remembered such a person, and said happily, even the mother-in-law on the side also looked happy.
Taoist Xiushui of Baiyun Temple is the temple master of Baiyun Temple. She used to be a very famous female crown. I heard that this Taoist priest also has good magic power, but this Taoist priest is not so easy to hire. It is said that she also has a third wife. Just because of this three-please and three-no-please rule, the reputation of this Xiu Shui Taoist priest has grown.
Almost everyone in the capital has heard of this Xiu Shui Taoist priest, but very few people can actually invite people here.
"Exactly!" Master Puming said with a slight smile.
Shao Wanru glanced sideways at Master Puming. She looked very compassionate, and her kind-hearted look made people feel trustworthy. Shao Yanru was begging for help, which made people believe her more and more.
Taoist Master Xiu Shui? Sakura pursed her lips slightly, shook the fan in her hand slightly, and her eyes were already thinking about this person.
Taoist Master Xiushui is only famous to most people in the capital, but what happened next made him famous all over the world!
"I heard that it is extremely difficult to recruit Taoist Priest Xiushui. Even a wealthy family may not be able to recruit her." Shao Yanru frowned and said in distress.
"It's okay. I know her very well. If I fix a letter and give it to her, she will help me!" Master Puming said.
"Thank you, Master, thank you, Master!" Shao Yanru could only say this happily, and kowtowed heavily to Master Puming.
Mrs. Puming said a few more polite words, stood up, went to the desk, picked up a pen, and started writing. After a while, the letter was completed. After letting it dry for a while, she took out an envelope and inserted it into it, and wrote "My dear, Taoist priest, Xiu Shui" on it. He read a few words of Kai, and then took the letter to Shao Yanru.
"Miss Shao, just send the letter over. As for grandma, you can ask her to come over anytime you want!"
"Thank you, Master. Master Xingguo's family will definitely remember your kindness for rebuilding!" Shao Yanru was so excited that his eyes turned red. Then he wanted to kowtow, but Master Puming stopped him.
Now that the matter had a solution, Shao Yanru and Shao Wanru naturally retreated and stayed outside. The woman who had fainted before was also woken up at this time and retreated outside together.
Shao Yanru didn't bother anyone else and asked another woman to deliver the letter.
When she heard that she could leave Yuhui Nunnery immediately, the mother-in-law picked up the letter and ran away like a ghost chasing after her. If she stayed here any longer, she would feel even more dangerous, as if her life was in danger.
"Fifth sister, please go and have a rest first. Grandma must make up her mind on this matter!" Shao Yanru said with a tired look on her face. When something went so wrong, it was no longer the two young ladies who could handle it while supervising the work and chatting at the same time. Yes.
Shao Wanru nodded silently and took Yujie back without asking any more questions.
Shao Yanru went to see the remaining women again. Hearing that one of them had fainted, she hurriedly called for a doctor. Then she invited several young nuns nearby to help with chanting sutras. It was quite a fuss.
The people in the Criminal Department had already been alarmed and sent people to find out more about it, and then flew the report to Wen Xichi.
"It is said that there is an evil object. It is the bracelet of the fifth lady of the Shao Mansion. The other bracelets are fine. Only the bracelet of the fifth lady of Shao Mansion is problematic. The woman who dug out the bracelet has fainted. It is said that the appearance of fainting is extremely scary. , haven’t woken up yet, I’m afraid it’s not good, and another one has also fainted, at Master Puming’s place.”
A subordinate of the Punishment Department reported to Wen Xichi that the people in the Punishment Department had never believed in such ghosts and ghosts, but now several women said that they seemed to have hair all over their bodies, and that there seemed to be something in the air. The cold and gloomy air is a bit stronger than before. Could this be true?
"How do the two young ladies from Xingguo Duke's Mansion behave?" Wen Xichi calmly put down the pen in his hand and said. He was painting an autumn chrysanthemum outside the window. He didn't expect that there are such rare autumn chrysanthemums in Yuhui Nunnery, but he couldn't help it. My hand felt itchy for a while, so I picked up the pen and drew a few strokes, and then it began to take shape.
"Miss Shao is handling things very calmly, arranging for the mothers-in-law of Xingguo Duke's Mansion, and instructing the mothers-in-law not to talk nonsense, make random guesses, and not to talk nonsense about the fifth lady!" reported a subordinate.
So she is not only a good sister, but also dignified and decent. Even in this situation, she can still remain calm. She is indeed a young lady from a well-known family in the capital. I have to admire her for this method.
"Where is the fifth lady of the Shao Mansion?" Wen Xichi asked again after seeing that Shao Wanru was not mentioned.
"Miss Shao Wu went to rest. It is said that she was frightened. But when my subordinates saw Miss Shao Wu leaving, she was very calm, her steps were light and natural, and she didn't look like she was frightened at all. After such a big incident, It’s really strange that she can still go to rest now that the matter is related to her!”
The subordinate said that the people in the Criminal Department were very careful and looked at the behavior of Miss Shao Wu. They felt that Miss Shao Wu was really careless and had such a big heart. It was because she was young and did not understand this. The consequences of the incident? The subordinates of the Criminal Department didn't know the reason.
Wen Xichi smiled with his hands behind his back, an elegant smile on his handsome face, and said lightly, "She should be able to catch her without any help!"
"What do you mean, sir?" The subordinate asked in astonishment, not understanding it for a moment.
Wen Xichi suppressed the smile on his face, knowing that he had just lost his composure, and coughed: "Keep an eye on their side, and if anything happens, come and report it. Heaven's punishment of thunder and fire destroyed the Buddhist temple? It was clearly someone who set the fire on purpose. To distract others from what happened that night.”
"What do you mean, my lord, the so-called evil spirit is nonsense? Then why is it that the other bracelets are fine, but there is something wrong with that pair of bracelets? And there are so many bugs, it is really unbelievable!" The subordinate hesitated, he I don’t know what to believe now, and I feel like some of my past ideas have been shaken.
"Just wait and see what happens. If they don't look for us, we don't have to look for them!" Wen Xichi said without explaining too much to his men, waving his hand.
This kind of thing is not under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Punishment. The Duke of Xingguo intends to use gods and Buddhas to eliminate it, so he will just wait and see what happens.
The Ministry of Punishment is not in charge of this kind of thing. He wants to see how this matter is resolved...
Shao Wanru still returned to his quiet room, and then An An had a portion of lunch, took a short rest, and then took a nap. When Shao Yanru came back, he was still awake.
I heard that Shao Wanru was taking a nap at the moment. Shao Yanru, who had been busy for a long time, showed a concerned expression on his face. He also specifically asked about Shao Wanru's situation, and asked Yu Jie and Qu Le to take good care of Shao Wanru. If there was anything wrong, , remember to report it to her immediately, and say that the Madam will probably send someone over to inquire about something soon.
The two maids responded one after another, looking frightened.
Shao Yanru went to her own room. When she entered her room, the gentle and dignified smile on her face immediately faded, revealing a cold and mocking smile.
Shao Wanru could still sleep at this moment, and he dared to sleep so peacefully here even when he was about to die. Of course, this might be Shao Wanru's last peaceful sleep, and she would not disturb her.
After having a late lunch, Shao Yanru was not in the mood to take a nap, so she waited inside the house.
Mrs. Tai's people came very quickly, and the person who came was Grandma Yu who was beside her. She walked in with four tall and thick women and found Shao Wanru directly.
Shao Wanru had already gotten up and was combing her hair. When she heard that Aunt Yu was coming, she immediately invited her in. Shao Yanru also got the news and rushed over with Shuqi.
"Fifth Miss, the Madam said she wanted to see the longevity lock she gave you before. Please ask Fifth Miss to come out and show it to me!" After seeing the ceremony with the two ladies, Aunt Yu said straight to the point.
"Longevity lock?" Shao Wanru frowned and looked back at Yujie, as if he couldn't remember it for a moment.
"Miss, it's the longevity lock that Mrs. Tai sent to the mountain. Didn't you let Princess Ruian take it away before?" Yu Jie suddenly thought about it and said immediately.
Hearing what she said, Shao Wanru seemed to have thought about it. She nodded and said humbly: "Aunt Yu, my grandmother had brought this longevity lock down the mountain before. I'm afraid it's not safe to put it on the mountain. So I sent it to my grandma!"
"The lock of longevity is not in Fifth Young Lady's hands?" Grandma Yu asked anxiously, her eyebrows twitching fiercely.
"Yes, not with me!" Shao Wanyu said decisively.
After anxiously turning around in circles a few times, Nanny Yu stamped her feet helplessly, "What should we do? Madam Tai must ask the old slave to take her back for a look, but...but right now..."
"Why are you looking at this?" Shao Wanru asked in surprise.
"Previously Master Pu Ming helped us to invite Taoist Master Xiu Shui. Taoist Master Xiu Shui said that seeing is believing. The bracelet has been taken off, but the only thing missing is the longevity lock of Miss Fifth. The longevity lock of several young masters and young ladies must be taken away." Compare the life lock and the silver bracelet together to find out the truth, and then you can do something to ensure the safety of He Mansion!"
Even if the other party is the eldest princess Ruian, she cannot stop the peace of the whole family.
These words frightened Shao Wanru. For a moment, he didn't know how to answer. He opened his mouth, but no words came out.
Shao Yanru spoke gently on the side and came up with an idea for the helpless Shao Wanru: "Fifth sister, you can write a letter, or send someone down the mountain to the Princess Ruian's mansion to get it, and then ask Aunt Yu to bring it to the mansion. Just show it to grandma!"
"Okay, okay! I'll let Qing'er go down the mountain." Shao Wanru nodded repeatedly, and immediately said urgently, she couldn't push back the safety of the whole family.
This was a good idea, and Grandma Yu nodded. After Shao Wanru called Qing'er to give some instructions, he asked Qing'er to follow Grandma Yu down the mountain.
Shao Wanru and Shao Yanru specially sent people to the entrance of the hospital.
"Fifth sister has already taken a nap. I'm tired now, so I'm going to take a rest!" Seeing that the person had gone away, Shao Yanru turned her head and glanced at Shao Wanru with an unknown meaning. She suddenly smiled as brightly as a spring flower. Then he ignored Shao Wanru, turned around and left with Shuqi.
It seems that the overall situation has been decided, and there is no need to be polite to Shao Wanru anymore!
