“Little Luo, go back to your room and have a good rest, and call Xiao Huan for me along the way. I’ll go to the county office with her. The government would leave this demon thing alone.” Chen Xuan grabbed Chen Luo’s hand and said.
Chen Luo looked at Chen Xuan and sighed in his heart. His predecessor, Chen Luo, was a complete giant baby. He didn’t care about the outside world. He only read books on sages. Unfortunately, he didn’t have the talent. The sweet dream of becoming an official, he calls himself a clan head but is actually a rice bug. Chen Xuan takes care of all the family affairs by herself, so even though Chen Luo summoned Zhong Kui, Chen Xuan still subconsciously thinks that the person in front of her is the old trashy brother, and naturally she could not rely on him to arrange a report to the official.
“Sister, it’s better if I go, you have worked hard all day.” Chen Luo replied. Chen Xuan’s eyes are already blind, and even if Xiao Huan will be with her, Chen Luo is a little worried.
“You’ve just woken up, but your health is still not good. I’ll just go with Xiao Huan, don’t worry, I’m fine!”
While Chen Xuan was talking, she only heard an exclamation: “Miss, your eyes…Have you become blind?”
It turned out that the maid Xiao Huan, who had fainted before, woke up at an unknown time and ran over in a hurry. At this time, her eyes were fixed on Chen Xuan’s pale pupils.
Chen Luo only felt that Chen Xuan’s grip on his hand grew a little tighter!
Chen Xuan, who was exposed, quickly regained her composure. After learning that her blindness was so obvious, she stopped pretending.
“You’re right, it’s inconvenient for me to show up like this. Let’s do this instead, Xiao Huan, go call Uncle Ping and let Uncle Ping and Little Luo go to the government together.” Chen Xuan ordered while dismissing Xiao Huan who was crying. As for the fact that Chen Luo didn’t expose her before, she didn’t mention it.
Chen Luo nodded, Uncle Ping’s full name was Chen Ping, the housekeeper of Chen’s house. It is said that Chen Luo’s cheap father had a life-saving grace for him, so he became a rare loyal servant of the Chen Mansion…
“Then it’s settled.” Chen Xuan quickly settled the matter, and then instructed, “Little Luo, the best tea from Caizhi County and the purple gentian that came from Tanzhou in the study, when you go to the county office, present these to them. In addition, you must remember that the county government is the nephew of Master Li, so you can’t be slow, but you can’t be too courteous. Just let Uncle Ping reward him with a coin or two. The person who comes out to lead the way is probably Master Li. You should say that you will invite him personally to appreciate the antiques from the previous dynasty. I will also arrange for someone to send the ‘Jianhu Pen’ to his villa…”
Listening to Chen Xuan’s ramble, Chen Luo realized that there are so many steps to report to officials. But it’s not that the officials pay a lot of attention to these things. After all, the Daxuan Dynasty’s official governance is still fair, but Chen Xuan is in a hurry to ask the government to solve the tiger demon situation to help the Chen Mansion get rid of the crisis of life and death. This “expedited handling” depends not on the duty of the government, but on the affection of adults.
Chen Luo carefully wrote down Chen Xuan’s explanation and helped Chen Xuan all the way back to her boudoir. At this time, Xiao Huan ran and said that Uncle Ping was already waiting in the study. Only then did Chen Luo retire from helping Chen Xuan, instructing Xiaohuan to take care of Chen Xuan in his stead, then turned to leave, and walked towards the study.
“Xiao Huan, do you think Little Luo has changed?” Chen Xuan asked after hearing the sound of Chen Luo leaving. She faintly noticed that Chen Luo was different from the arrogant and naive brother who was a little bit alienated from her before, but this change made him a little closer to her, and she felt a sense of growth from him in an instant, which made her not know if it was good or bad.
“Change? Neither fatter nor thinner, neither taller nor shorter, neither blacker nor whiter… Nothing has changed!” Xiaohuan replied while making the bed. ”
“I think you’re heartless!” Chen Xuan scolded with a smile.
“I think you’re the heartless one, miss. You’re blind, and you’re still thinking about Master Luo’s affairs.” Xiaohuan pouted and looked at Chen Xuan aggrieved. Xiaohuan and Chen Xuan grew up together since childhood, and they were close like real sisters. At this time, there were only two people in the room, so they were able to speak with less restrictions.
Chen Xuan was quiet and sighed softly. Chen Luo only knew that “Silver Needle Crossing the Soul” is a taboo technique of “Thirteen Needles of Heavenly Door”.
After casting it, one of the five senses will be lost, but what he doesn’t know is that Chen Xuan’s practice is not the complete “Thirteen Needles of Heaven’s Gate”.
From the time Chen Xuan inserted the first silver needle into the acupuncture point, she already knew the result, but she still did it. Although she didn’t kill the ghost directly, she also delayed until “Zhong Kui” appeared and finally eliminated the ghost, so there was not much frustration at this time.
“The ‘Setting the soul jade’ in Little Luo’s mouth was left by Father, and it was not damaged, which means that Little Luo could not have been captured by a master and replaced his soul with another, so he is still Little Luo. Father said that life and death situations are the best time to realize Tao, maybe after this incident, Little Luo has gained enlightenment…” Chen Xuan thought in her heart.
At the same time as Chen Xuan’s self-assessment, Chen Luo was taking another identity test in the study.
“Young master once broke one of this old slave’s teeth when you were young, how old do you remember?”
“Six years old. But it wasn’t me that broke it, it was when you were carrying me behind your back to go up the Bowang Tower, you fell while protecting me, that’s how it broke…”
“The first book of scriptures that the young master read was taken by this old slave. Do you still remember what it was?”
“It was my father’s transcription of “Spring and Autumn”, but I couldn’t read it, so I tore it up in a fit of anger. You lied to Father and said that it was ripped to shreds by a dog…”
“This old slave has a lover from the outside, does the young master remember who it is?”
“What a load of rubbish, your lover is our cook, Aunt Ma. When I was a kid, I loved the sugar cakes made by Aunt Ma. You hired Aunt Ma to be a cook in the house. It’s been fifteen or sixteen years and you still haven’t gotten on Aunt Ma’s bed, I look down on you!”
“Cough cough…” The old man in front of Chen Luo choked on his own saliva. He coughed twice again, looked at Chen Luo up and down again with a pair of cloudy old eyes, and suddenly cried out while rushing up, held Chen Luo in his arms, and said with a choked tone: “Master, it’s really you, Master… Sure enough, it was the Lord who blessed you and brought you back to life… Young Master, this old slave was inadequate and feels sorry for you…”
This old man was naturally Chen Ping, the housekeeper of the Chen residence. Chen Luo had long heard from his hoarse voice that he was the one who poured the blood of a black dog on him and had people nail him with a coffin. But at this time, he can see that the old man is crying until he is almost out of breath, so he could only comfort him first, lest any more fuss happens at the Chen Mansion.
After about a cup of tea, Chen Ping finally was able to remain calm and listened to Chen Luo’s story about what happened to the ghost, quickly wiped his tearful face and said, “Miss is right, let’s go to report to the officials. At the moment, all the servants in the house have been sent away by the young lady, and only a dozen old servants of our family live in the front yard. I will call a few able-bodied people to escort the young master to the government office. “
“Uncle Ping, wait a minute!” Chen Luo stopped Chen Ping and said, “Let’s just go to the government office like this. If we were asked, we also wouldn’t know what to say, it would just be a waste of time. It’s better that we study the situation first and find ways to explain it properly…”
“As they say, know oneself and know the enemy and you will never be defeated. This tiger demon manipulates ghosts to murder my Chen family, so it must have grievances with the Chen family. Uncle Ping, you are the old man of the Chen family. Can you recall carefully if there is a tiger demon that my Chen family has offended?”
Chen Ping was quiet for a moment as he tried to recall in his mind, and said, “I have read the Chen family clan book, there’s nothing that says we’ve offended any monsters. The master liked to travel around in his lifetime, but he has other identities he uses to exterminate monsters so he will not involve those activities with the family. This tiger demon…”
Suddenly Chen Ping seemed to have thought of something, and slapped his thigh: “Could it be because of that incident…”
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
“Little Luo, go back to your room and have a good rest, and call Xiao Huan for me along the way. I’ll go to the county office with her. The government would leave this demon thing alone.” Chen Xuan grabbed Chen Luo’s hand and said.
