Chapter 360 The Price

"Miss, I haven't gotten pregnant for three years after getting married, and I can't get pregnant even more after getting sick. If you transfer the disease back to me, I will die."

Mrs. Zhou cried miserably to Ling Chu.

Although pitiful people must have hateful aspects.

But the one who is sick is the wife of the Shangshu Mansion, and Ling Chu can't make the decision on this matter.

Mrs. Zhou kowtowed to Minister Bi again, "Sir Bi, we did something wrong. We shouldn't have harmed the wife, but we are helpless.

There are three kinds of unfilial piety, and having no descendants is the greatest. My husband is the only son in three generations. I can't be a sinner in the Zhou family. Please, forgive me once."

Mrs. Zhou cried more and more sadly, and Zhou Jiang also knelt down to Minister Bi with red eyes.

Minister Bi looked very bad.

Although he sympathized with them, he had to save his mother.

The crowd of onlookers pointed and talked.

Minister Bi was in a dilemma.

People's words are scary. If he insisted on transferring the disease back to Mrs. Zhou. People might say that he is cruel and doesn't care about the life and death of a woman.

Some people might even blame him for causing the Zhou family to be extinct.

But if he lets Zhou Jiang and his wife go, he will harm his own mother.

Bi Hongsheng hates the Zhou couple, but he also knows that it is not easy for his elder brother to be an official. If someone catches him and attacks him, even if he doesn't lose his official position, his reputation will be ruined.

The Shangshu's wife saw her husband's dilemma.

"Miss Ling, do you have a way..."

Before she finished speaking, Ling Chu also knew that she was asking for a way to have the best of both worlds.

Mrs. Zhou saw what the Shangshu's wife meant and kowtowed to her gratefully.

Turning to Ling Chu again, "Miss, I don't want to die, and I don't want to be unconscious again.

Do you have a way? Can you help me?"

Since Bi Shangshu didn't want to embarrass Zhou Jiang and his wife, Ling Chu had nothing to say.

"There is a way, but it costs money. Are you willing?"

Mrs. Zhou was delighted and nodded vigorously. "As long as you don't die and have a chance to get pregnant, I can give you whatever you want."

Zhou Jiang also echoed on the side.

"My way is to transfer the illness of the old lady back, and you and your wife will bear half of it.

In this way, Mrs. Zhou will not be unconscious again.

But Zhou Jiang has to bear half of the pain. Are you willing?"

Zhou Jiang's face changed. The torture of pain is not pleasant.

Seeing his hesitation, Mrs. Zhou's face was not very good, "Husband..."

Zhou Jiang looked over, and I don't know what he thought of. Suddenly, he gritted his teeth and said, "I am willing."

Ling Chu glanced at him and asked Minister Bi, "Master Bi, have you decided?"

"Miss Ling, I don't know if this will affect my mother's health?"

"Don't worry, as long as the disease is transferred, the old lady will be able to recover."

Bi Hongsheng breathed a sigh of relief.

"Zhou Jiang, I can agree to your request. But I want to know who instructed you to do this to my mother?"

Zhou Jiang shook his head, "No one instructed me, this is the solution I came up with myself."

Shangshu Bi looked at him steadily, obviously not believing what he said.

Zhou Jiang thought of the three generations of his family's only inheritance, and his father crying and begging him to leave offspring before his death.

"This was inspired by a strange story I heard when I was having a meal at the restaurant, when Lord Li, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Works, was chatting with his friends."

The strange story of Lord Li was about a man whose father was seriously ill and could not be cured. When he was at his wit's end, the man saved a Taoist priest who fainted from hunger at his doorstep.

After the Taoist priest woke up, in order to repay the man, he taught him to find a healthy person, and then cast a spell to help him lend the medicine pot to the other party.

The disease was transferred away, and the man's father recovered without medicine.

Zhou Jiang was worried about his wife's illness, and he accidentally heard this strange story, so he wanted to give it a try and found a Taoist priest to cast a spell.

Unexpectedly, it succeeded at the first try.

Zhou Jiang regretted a little. When he heard this strange news, he was grateful to Lord Li.

He knew that Li Ji and Bi Hongsheng were not on good terms. In order to repay him, he heard that Lady Bi had always been in good health, so he chose to transfer his wife's illness to her.

Minister Bi's face was very cold. He didn't believe that this was a coincidence.

Although it was not instigated by him, Li Ji, the left assistant minister, was not on good terms with him, but it was directed at him.

If his mother had an accident, he could only mourn.

Li Ji was equivalent to becoming the head of the Ministry of Works.

It was a pity that although he knew that this was Li Ji's conspiracy, he could not do anything to him.

The matter was clear, and Bi Hongsheng signaled Ling Chu to cast a spell.

"Zhou Jiang, although I can let you bear half of the disease, you have harmed the Lady of Bi Mansion and lost your virtue.

Your life span will also be affected.

If you don't want to die, compensate the Lady with half of your family's money.

You must give porridge to the poor families in the city with the remaining half.

Are you willing?"

In fact, Ling Chu can cast a spell to transfer Mrs. Zhou's disease to those cattle, sheep, pigs and dogs.

But she is not willing to do so.

Whether it is a pig or a dog, they are all living lives.

More importantly, she has to let everyone know that transferring her disease to others will not only lose her family wealth, but also affect her life span.

If there are still people who want to use the method of borrowing medicine pots to harm others, they must first consider whether they can afford the price.

The faces of Zhou Jiang and his wife changed again and again. Although they were unwilling, they had to bite their teeth and agree for the sake of their offspring.

Seeing that they agreed, Ling Chu began to cast the spell.

Wipe out the name and birth date of the old lady from the medicine pot borrowed by Bi Shangshu, and write the name of Zhou Jiang and his wife.

Then he pinched a spell to let Bi Shangshu and Zhou Jiang fall asleep.

In the dream, Bi Hongsheng returned the medicine pot to Zhou Jiang.

Everyone could not see what happened in the dream, but only saw that after Ling Chu cast a spell, Bi Shangshu and Zhou Jiang fell asleep.

Not long after, the two woke up again.

Ling Chu walked to the old lady's bed and cast a mysterious spell on her.

Soon, the old lady opened her eyes.

Everyone in the Bi Mansion was careless and rushed over.

Ling Chu stepped aside and said to Bi Shangshu, "The old lady is still a little weak, but it's not a big problem. Let the imperial physician prescribe some medicine to regulate it."

The imperial physician who came from the Bi Mansion saw Ling Chu wake up the old lady with his own eyes, and was surprised.

After taking the old lady's pulse, he found that all her symptoms were gone, and he admired Ling Chu very much.

Although Zhou Jiang and his wife were not in a coma, they were both sick.

Seeing this scene with their own eyes, the crowd of onlookers exclaimed that it was amazing, it turned out that illness could really be borrowed.

When the emperor learned that the lady of Bi's house had recovered, he praised Ning Chuyi and Ling Chu in the court.

He even asked the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice to hand over all the cases that could not be solved to the Jinyiwei in front of all the civil and military officials in the court.

The Dali Temple and the Minister of Justice knew that the emperor wanted Ning Chuyi to complete the 100 cases as soon as possible.

The two could only accept respectfully because they could not twist their arms.

Ling Chu was happy to see this happen.

The more she helped Ning Chuyi, the faster she could pay off her debt to him.

The lady recovered, and in order to thank Ling Chu, Minister Bi sent some craftsmen to help her build a yard.

After it was completed, Han Yao suddenly came to Ling Chu's house and asked her to move back to Dingyuan Palace.
