After Princess Xuanxue came down from the mountain, the whole capital was in chaos.

Yuan Qi was carving jade charms with a carving knife, and Li Guiyu walked in with Jiang Junjing, Jiang Junyu and Jiang Jiulu.

The three of them saw that Yuan Qi was busy and did not dare to disturb him.

After Yuan Qi finished carving this stroke, he raised his head: "What does Aunt Li have to do with me?"

In fact, she had already guessed their purpose.

Li Gui's concubine's eyes were red and she choked with sobs. "I want to build a longevity tablet for my son. I plan to eat fast and chant Buddha every day to bless him to have a good pregnancy in the future. What do you think I can do?"

"He never harmed anyone when he was a ghost, and he died innocently. I have entrusted Hei Wuchang with a favor. He will be born safely in the next life and live a wealthy life. If Aunt Li wants to set up a longevity tablet, she can just go to Fusang Temple." Yuan Qi gently touched the jade plaque that had not yet been successfully carved, wondering when his mother would be allowed to enter the Jiang family ancestral hall.

After hearing this, Li Gui's concubine cried even harder: "If it weren't for the pearl in the picture, my son would definitely be able to live a safe and prosperous life. I pity my son who has been wandering for so many years and never forgets to protect me. I will fight to the death with Xiangli Mingzhu!"

Yuan Qi didn't want to care about the Jiang family's trivial matters. Li Gui's concubine was talking to the side, and she listened listlessly. Although it was not very polite, Li Gui's concubine didn't feel embarrassed.

Li Gui's concubine also pulled up a chair and sat down, face to face with Yuan Qi, and complained about how Xiangli Mingzhu fought with her back then.

She muttered for almost an hour before she stopped. Her mood became much more stable. After wiping her last tear, she smiled sheepishly and said, "Look, you are still a child. Why am I telling you this?"

She finally remembered the real purpose of her visit this time, took a small box from Jiang Junjing and placed it in front of Yuan Qi: "You have helped me so much, I have to give you some money for the sesame oil."

Yuan Qi knew that her two sons were very capable, and they could even afford one million taels.

She opened the box and took a look. It was all in denominations of one thousand taels. It looked like a thick pile, and it was conservatively estimated to be more than one hundred thousand taels.

She thought that she hadn't paid any money to Fusang Guan recently, so she pushed the box back: "Aunt Li is serious, I don't plan to accept these banknotes. Fusang Guan will give porridge and medicine to the poor every day, and the expenses are huge. You can put these Part of the banknote can be used to buy some grain and herbal medicine in the name of Fusang Temple, and part of it can be bought in the name of Jiang Junli and provided to the poor for free. All of them are used to accumulate merit for Jiang Junli and help him cultivate in the next life."

"Hey." Li Gui concubine repeatedly said that she would go to Fusang Temple as soon as possible.

Early the next morning, Yuan Qi went to pay his respects to Old Mrs. Bai as usual, and saw that Old Mrs. Bai was frowning, and the housemaid beside her was also sighing. It seemed that something had happened to her.

Yuan Qi is not a nosy person, so he pretends not to see it.

Today, Xiangli Mingzhu didn't come to pay his respects to the old lady, and neither Jiang Bailu nor Jiang Truffle came. It was said that the three of them had a high fever yesterday and talked nonsense in their dreams. The palace doctor stayed on guard all night. At dawn, Jiang Bailu and Jiang Trulu's fever subsided, but Xiangli Mingzhu still had a high fever.

After greeting her perfunctorily, Yuan Qi came out. Jiang Jiulu caught up with her and gossiped with her about Xiangli Mingzhu's affairs.

"My mother seems to be frightened. She went crazy for a long time last night. He Xiang and several maids couldn't hold her down. My father also guarded my mother for the first time and asked the imperial doctor to cure her at all costs. Asking me to watch is retribution. So many younger brothers and sisters have died at her hands, so it would be an advantage for her to go crazy."

Back at Shaoyaoju, Shenxun at the door told her that Jiang Zhengqing was waiting for her in the house.

"Father." Yuan Qi saluted obediently as soon as he entered the door.

Jiang Zhengqing sat in front of her desk, holding her half-engraved jade plaque in his hand, and gently stroking the lines with his thumb.

He raised his eyes and glanced at Yuan Qi: "The imperial doctor said that your mother's illness needs to be rested for a period of time. During this period, you should not go over and disturb her. Du Haitang's son, I have decided not to be raised by your mother. I will let Chunguangyuan She is raised by Lin Mei, who is very close to Du Haitang and has a lot of contact with her on weekdays. I have decided to let Lin Mei move out of Chunguang Yard, give her a separate yard, and give her a title, so she can be an aunt."

Yuan Qi stared at Jiang Zhengqing with cold eyes and spoke obediently, but what he said made people uncomfortable. "Why did father tell me this? This is a matter in your back house. As long as you have a clear conscience, you don't need to tell me specifically." Yuan Qi saw it and Jiang Zhengqing felt guilty.

Sure enough, Jiang Zhengqing frowned, wondering if Yuan Qi really didn't understand or was just pretending to be confused. Couldn't she tell? He is giving an explanation to the "Heavenly Master"!

"Ahem," Jiang Zhengqing cleared his throat. He felt that he was talking to his superiors and felt inexplicably uncomfortable. "As a father, I want to ask you, about Du Haitang and those children, will I..."

He didn't know what to say next.

Yuan Qi can understand the mentality of people like them very well, and they almost have the mentality of being a thief with a guilty conscience.

"Will there be retribution?" Yuan Qi said directly.

Jiang Zhengqing felt that he was very embarrassed after being told what he was thinking.

Yuan Qi sneered, and the corners of his lips curved into a polite smile, which seemed to be sarcastic, and also seemed to cover up the other party's embarrassment.

"Of course it does. This matter has something to do with you. If you hadn't hinted to my mother, would my mother have done such a cruel thing to the women in Chunguangyuan and your children? You will also be liquidated after your death."

Jiang Zhengqing's face turned dark. His daughter was good at everything, but she wasn't good at talking. She always had trouble hearing something.

I'm not very good at being a good person, and I don't know how to save face for others.

"Then, how can I offset my sin?" He felt that saying this in front of his daughter was very embarrassing, and he never wanted to see her again.

What to do.

"Do good deeds to accumulate merit, and do more good deeds. For example, use your authority to benefit the people more, and provide more relief when encountering disasters. In short, do more good deeds and accumulate merit."

Jiang Zhengqing was completely shameless in front of Yuan Qi.

Yuan Qi felt that he should have finished what he wanted to say, but the other party refused to leave and stared at her.

Yuan Qi pursed his lips and looked at him.

Jiang Zhengqing couldn't help but speak with a rather resentful tone: "You have given amulets to others, why don't you give them to me?"

Yuan Qi snorted: "I've been here for several days, and you haven't given me anything."

Although she was not happy, she still took out an amulet from the cloth bag. It was a jade amulet. She placed it lightly on the table and asked for money politely: "The jade peace amulet is more effective, one thousand taels per piece." , Children and old men are not deceived."

Jiang Zhengqing picked up the jade talisman and glared angrily: "Are you still so distant from your father?"

"Do you think of me as your daughter?" Yuan Qi replied rudely.

Jiang Zhengqing snorted and left.
