Chapter 1885 Yin Qi Passes By
Lu Zhaoling looked at the three houses and found them all to be quite nice.
The location and feng shui are both good.
This shows that they selected them carefully, not just casually.
"I'll try to find some time in the next couple of days to go and take a look."
Lu Zhaoling was talking with Sheng San Niangzi and the others when Qingsong arrived and told her a few things.
He prioritized Shen Xiangjun's delivery of the letter, treating it as the most urgent matter.
After hearing this, Lu Zhaoling remained silent in thought.
However, Madam Sheng, who was listening from the side, was very angry.
"Why is she so fixated on the Prince? Is he really that fragrant?" Madam Sheng said angrily. "Maybe I should go scare her tonight!"
"Need not."
Lu Zhaoling found it somewhat amusing to see her puffed-up face.
“Zhou Shiyue is not someone who is easily lured away, otherwise we wouldn’t have waited until now.”
She still had some trust in Zhou Shiyue.
"Master, you're not angry? Aren't you worried about the Prince?" Madam Sheng was surprised by her composure.
"I'm not angry. If I get angry over something like this, how much anger do I have to be angry about? I'm not worried. I'm just wondering what kind of dream Shen Xiangjun had."
Lu Zhaoling guessed that Zhou Shiyue accepted Miss Shen's letter for this very reason.
His waiting for her to go back and check first was also a way of keeping an eye on Miss Shen.
"I'll read the letter when I get back, no rush," she said to Qingsong. "You just said that you passed by Meng Gelao's house and saw his family coming out, and they didn't look too well?"
Lu Zhaoling is more concerned about this matter now.
She sent Qingsong and Qingbai out to patrol the city these past two days.
Since the collapse of the west city wall, Lu Zhaoling felt that patrolling the city was very important in this critical situation.
Nothing more can happen in the capital. Even if something does happen, it must be done under their watchful eyes so that it can be dealt with promptly.
She gave a stack of talismans to several young people and even opened their third eye.
When Qingsong returned, he told her a few things. One of them was that he saw several ghosts hiding in an abandoned house. With his abilities, he could only see them with his third eye open, but he couldn't tell what kind of ghosts they were, or whether they were good or evil.
Since it was daytime, we didn't know if they would come out at night.
Another thing is that when he was patrolling the city, he passed by the residence of Grand Secretary Meng and saw several people going out and helping a frail young man into a carriage. Qing Song opened his Heavenly Eye and could see that the people all had a faint layer of black aura on them, but the young man was the most severely affected. Not only did he have a layer of black aura on his body, but his face was also very pale.
Recently, because Grand Secretary Meng sent him gifts and strongly supported the Crown Prince in court, Lu Zhaoling has been paying close attention to him.
Her subordinates all knew this, so Qingsong returned immediately to report after encountering this matter.
"Yes, I have inquired. That young man is Grand Secretary Meng's grandson, named Meng Si, and he is thirteen years old."
"Meng Si has three older sisters, and I heard that they all love their younger brother very much. Meng Si is also the only male heir of Grand Secretary Meng's generation. I heard that Grand Secretary Meng is quite strict with him, not allowing him to go out and play at will, and he has to study every day."
When it came time to report to Lu Zhaoling, Qingsong naturally investigated everything related to Meng Si.
"I had never heard that Meng Si was in poor health before, and there have been no rumors recently that he was sick."
Lu Zhaoling rested her chin on her hand and thought for a moment, "I haven't heard Zhou Shiyue mention it either. Grand Secretary Meng has been busy with important court affairs these past few days, and he hasn't mentioned anything about his grandson at home."
Madam Sheng said from the side, "Why don't I go and check on that boy first?"
There's no need for the expert to speculate here.
“That’s fine.” Lu Zhaoling immediately looked at her. “Grandma, how can you be so kind and thoughtful? I knew I couldn’t live without you!”
Madam Sheng suddenly felt a little embarrassed, "Really?"
"Really!" Lu Zhaoling nodded vigorously. "Do I look like the kind of person who would lie to you? Then I'll trouble you, Grandma! I'll wait for your news!"
When Lu Zhaoling thought of the books that Grand Secretary Meng had given her, she felt that she could not ignore this matter.
"Master, I'm off now. You should hurry back to the Prince's Mansion to read Shen Xiangjun's letter!"
Sheng San Niangzi cared about this matter even more than Lu Zhaoling.
She wished she could help in any way possible so that Lu Zhaoling could go back and read the letter as soon as possible.
"The most important thing is to protect your husband!" Madam Sheng gave Lu Zhaoling a worried look.
Lu Zhaoling was both amused and exasperated, and waved for her to hurry up and get on with her business.
After Madam Sheng left, the masters who were sunbathing under the locust tree outside sat up straight, their eyes searching.
Lü Song brought them tea, paused for a moment when he saw their reaction, and then acted as if nothing had happened.
"Master Lü, did you sense any yin energy passing by just now?" a master asked.
Moreover, it is a very powerful force.
But this is Benefactor Lu's home, and Benefactor Lu's cultivation level is so high, it shouldn't be possible...
Lu Song shook his head. "No, are the masters still experiencing some aftereffects from returning from the Netherworld?"
He learned the term "sequelae" from his second senior sister.
The masters had never heard of this term before, but they could guess its meaning from the context. Now, they couldn't really grasp its significance. They looked at each other, then shook their heads in unison.
"Perhaps we are mistaken."
After Lü Song poured them tea, he turned to leave and ran into Rong Jingjing, who was coming out. He lowered his voice and said, "Second Senior Sister, was Third Madam doing that on purpose just now?"
"What do you mean? What did Third Sister do?" Rong Jingjing was still confused about what had happened and found his words rather strange.
"Given her cultivation level, the masters would never have noticed her leaving quietly, but her fleeting appearance just now alerted them all."
Lu Song shook his head and sighed, recalling the way those masters had looked up at the same time.
Rong Jingjing was at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"No need to ask, Third Sister must have done it on purpose."
"She probably thought that was cool."
When they told Lu Zhaoling, she burst out laughing.
“Grandma definitely did it on purpose. I told her before that these masters are very powerful.”
As a result, Madam Sheng wanted to see if the masters could see her.
She doesn't show herself, but she makes sure they can sense her presence without being able to find her.
After testing her, he even came back to tell her, "Master, they are not as good as you."
After all, she couldn't hide from Master Lu; she would eventually be found out. But she had passed by those masters several times, and they hadn't noticed her at all.
“Grandma Sheng still has a naive and playful heart. If we let her go to Nanzhao to find her Duan Lang now, who knows if she will be fooled,” Lu Zhaoling said. “Let’s hold her back for now.”
She returned to the palace after finishing her business here.
Zhou Shiyue had been busy with official business all afternoon and forgot about the letter.
