Chapter 1907 Will Not Be Like Her
Meng Si was somewhat dazed.
He wasn't fully conscious yet; he had been hanging there for quite some time, and his soul had been damaged.
So he didn't really see Lu Zhaoling's appearance very clearly.
Looking at her eyes, those very eyes, he remembered what Wuyou had told him: she wasn't like the one in the painting; she wasn't originally so alluring.
In her teenage years, she had a pair of clear, bright eyes, and she was also very kind and cheerful, as radiant as a sunflower.
It was only because she went through a lot of things later on, and because she needed to please men, that she changed more and more, and her makeup and other things changed as well. As she got older, she became what she really looked like.
Meng Si shook his head and hugged his head.
He felt a headache.
She was referring to how she looked when she was young—warm and friendly, with bright, clear eyes. She didn't say she actually looked like this...
Lu Zhaoling understood.
The carefree girl in the painting also has the appearance of a young girl.
She probably always missed her teenage years, which is why she told Meng Si about herself during her teenage years.
It's highly unlikely that someone looks exactly like her.
It's just a feeling.
"Your Highness, has Si'er not fully recovered yet?" Grand Secretary Meng asked with some concern as he looked at Meng Si.
“Yes,” Lu Zhaoling said, “I didn’t bring that much with me this time, but I can draw a soul-stabilizing talisman for him now. Later, you can have someone go to Huaiyuan to get some calming incense and light it by his bedside every day. It will take at least ten days to half a month for him to get better.”
“However, his body will definitely be much weaker, and he will need to continue to recuperate slowly.” Lu Zhaoling paused for a moment, then brought out her sunbathing method, “The sun is just right now, so let him sunbathe for half an hour every day, which will be good for his recovery.”
Grandpa Meng quickly replied, "Yes, I've written it all down."
Meng Si then looked at Lu Zhaoling and asked, "Who are you?"
"Si'er, don't be rude! This is the Princess Consort of Jin! Quickly thank the Princess Consort for saving your life. Fortunately, you were here, otherwise you would be dead by now," Master Meng said hastily.
"No need to thank me right away. Tell me about your carefree sister."
Lu Zhaoling stepped back, turning to the side so he could see the pillar in front of her, where the painting was still hanging.
Meng Si regained some clarity and finally remembered that he couldn't say "Worry-Free Sister" aloud. His expression changed, and then he saw a portrait hanging there.
His paintings!
Meng Si was startled and tried to stand up, but he had no strength at all and almost fell to the ground.
Fortunately, his two cousins caught him.
"Brother Si, don't do anything rash!" Meng Rui spoke up at this moment. "Have you been bewitched by the female ghost in this painting? We should ask the Princess to dispose of this painting now."
"no!"
Meng Si exclaimed excitedly, looking at Grandfather Meng, "Grandfather, that's not a ghost painting, she didn't harm me!"
"Si'er, you're being foolish!" Grand Secretary Meng's face darkened. "She didn't harm you, so why are you like this? Do you remember what you did yesterday? Didn't you say you were going to Ciyun Temple? How did you end up at the mass grave outside the city?"
Meng Si was taken aback for a moment. "I did intend to go to Ciyun Temple, but I stopped by a forest along the way to help find something. I didn't go to the mass grave."
Why would he go to a mass grave? He knows he shouldn't go to a place like that.
"Brother Si, we rescued you from the mass grave!" Meng Rui exclaimed, quickly recounting the situation at the time.
Meng Si's expression changed several times as he looked at the painting hanging there.
The carefree sister in the painting is completely still, as if she really is just a painting.
He was anxious.
Perhaps it's because there are too many people here and the light is too strong that Sister Wuyou can't come out.
But leaving that painting in the sunlight all the time isn't good for her; it will make her uncomfortable.
Meng Si then looked at Lu Zhaoling, "Could you give me back the painting first?"
"No."
Lu Zhaoling rejected it outright, without even thinking about it.
Madam Meng was also anxious, "Si'er, how could you bring back such a painting? You should know that the painting depicts a female ghost, right? You even called a female ghost 'sister,' and you still say she didn't harm you?"
"Mother, it's not like that, she was a pitiful person too..."
“A ghost,” Lu Zhaoling interrupted him, correcting him.
Meng Si paused.
At this moment, Zhou Shiyue spoke up.
"Ah Ling, we should go back. Meng Rui knows what happened to Meng Si, so let him tell Meng Si."
Lu Zhaoling also knew that they had to go back.
She nodded and said to Grand Secretary Meng, "Grand Secretary Meng, let's go back first. You can ask Meng Si how he got the painting and how he became acquainted with the female ghost in the painting. I'll come back later when I have time."
Seeing their dirty clothes, Grand Secretary Meng felt embarrassed to keep them there any longer. "Alright, I'll see you out."
Lu Zhaoling walked over, reached out and took the painting down, folded it, and handed it to Aoki.
"Keep it safe for now, don't open it."
"Yes."
Aoki pocketed the painting and turned to leave with them.
"Wait a minute, that painting is mine!"
Meng Si's voice came from behind, but he was quickly restrained by the Meng family members, who prevented him from chasing after them.
"Brother Si! Wake up! The Princess Consort is already doing a great favor by helping to take that painting away!" Meng Rui's voice came from behind.
However, Lu Zhaoling and the others did not stop.
"Your Highness, will my Si'er be able to recover to his former self?" Madam Meng, who had also seen them off, asked Lu Zhaoling with great concern, "He's calling out to that female ghost so affectionately now, as if he trusts and likes her very much. Is he bewitched? Can he be cured?"
Lu Zhaoling stopped. "You'll have to ask him about this. What happened after he got the painting? What did that female ghost say to him? I'll interrogate the female ghost again later. Come find me when you have time."
The Meng family members all nodded in agreement.
Seeing their exhausted appearance, Lu Zhaoling glanced at Grand Secretary Meng and, remembering that he still had to teach her junior brother, took out a liver-cleansing and vision-improving talisman and a body-strengthening talisman.
She handed the talisman to Grand Secretary Meng.
"Please take good care of yourself, Elder Meng, and don't overwork yourself. Meng Rui seems to be a reliable person; you can ask him to handle things if needed."
This time, she also had a good impression of Meng Rui.
Hearing this, Third Master Meng and his wife, who had come out to see Lu Zhaoling off, were overjoyed. With the Princess's words, their Rui'er now carried real weight.
