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

Chapter 8 Still indifferent
  As soon as Yuan Qi took over, he knew that the Five Elements Money had been tampered with by an expert. Otherwise, how could ordinary evil spirits be entrenched in the Five Elements Money?

The Five Elements Money itself can drive away evil spirits.

"There is indeed something wrong with this Five Elements Money. It has been nourished by evil spirits, and a small evil gathering array has been placed on it. Hanging it at the door of the bedroom will not only not be able to ward off evil spirits, but will also make the people living here sick and consume. The spirit of the master, over time, the people who live here will die. Everything happens quietly, and the real killing is invisible."

Those who were still laughing just now could no longer laugh anymore, and they all stared at Yuan Qi and Jiang Zhengqing with pale faces.

Yuan Qi knew that Jiang Zhengqing would not believe her easily, so he returned the Five Elements Money to Jiang Zhengqing in a grand manner: "If you don't believe me, you can show it to Master Xuanji to see if I'm talking nonsense."

"Here comes someone." Jiang Zhengqing said in a deep voice.

A powerful young man came in and said, "Master Marquis, what are your orders?"

"I remember my mother said that this pair of Five Elements Money was brought by Aunt Cui. Control her first, and I will go find Master Xuanji right away."

"Yes!"

"Son..."

A muddy, hoarse and weak voice came, and everyone was shocked and looked towards the bed.

The old lady actually woke up!
  Jiang Zhengqing thought of Master Xuanji's words. The old lady's chance of survival lies with Miss Seven.

It's just that the old lady didn't like concubines and their children, and she didn't like concubines even more, so she didn't take the Master Xuanji's words to heart.

"Mother!" Jiang Zhengqing smiled unconsciously and walked over: "Master Xuanji is indeed right. Your chance of survival lies in Xiao Qi. As soon as she comes, you will wake up."

He didn't dare to touch the old lady, so he ordered someone to call the government doctor quickly.

Yuan Qi curled his lips, a small face full of displeasure. When they met the day before yesterday, the old lady Bai scolded her, and Jiang Zhengqing followed suit. In just one day, Jiang Zhengqing's face changed.

It's really disgusting.

The old lady turned her head weakly and saw Yuan Qi.

But her eyes were still very cold, showing no sign of gratitude that the other person was her only chance of survival.

Yuan Qi even saw disgust in the other person's eyes.

Jiang Bailu had been in front of the old lady for many years, and she could see the old lady's thoughts at a glance. She moved lightly, knelt beside the bed and said: "Grandma, just wake up. She insists on taking off the pair of five-element coins at the door. As soon as you take it off, you wake up, it’s just a coincidence.”

Old Mrs. Bai nodded, feeling very comfortable after listening to her granddaughter's words. She took off the jade bracelet on her wrist and handed it to the roommate beside her: "You are a really pitiful child. You don't have a single good thing in your body. She You saved me by accident, so consider this bracelet a thank you gift."

Thank you?

My granddaughter, thank you?
  That's quite polite.

Yuan Qi felt cold. The old lady didn't like her and treated her like an outsider.

The beauty in the photo was very sad. The old lady had indeed worn this bracelet for many years and cherished it very much. Even when she came in, the old lady was not willing to take it off as a greeting gift. Now she actually gave it to this girl who was born outside the family. .

She was so angry.

Jiang Bailu stared at the bracelet, with only one thought - wanting it.

Yuan Qi took the jade bracelet unceremoniously, lowered his head to play with it, and estimated how much it could sell for. Jiang Bailu watched Yuan Qi put the bracelet on her thin white wrist. The bracelet was too big, baggy, and didn't match her at all, but it fit just right on her wrist...

Yuan Qi noticed the fiery look in the other person's eyes and deliberately shook his wrist at the other person.

Jiang Bailu gave Yuan Qi a hard look: Just wait!

A maid came in and reported: "Mrs. Marquis, old lady, Aunt Cui is here."

Jiang Zhengqing helped the old lady lie down and led everyone to the yard.

A middle-aged servant woman knelt on the ground with a dull sound.

This servant girl was Cuigu. She was very easy-going and considerate in her work. She was known as a kind-hearted person in Songhe Courtyard. Even Jiang Zhengqing did not expect that she would harm the old lady.

A servant had already prepared the imperial chair. Jiang Zhengqing sat down in it and threw two strings of five-element money in front of her: "Tell me, where did you get these five-element money?"

He did not ask who instigated her to harm the old lady. When Aunt Wang was alive, she often fought with the old lady. Cuigu had been with Aunt Wang for many years, and Aunt Wang was very kind to her servants. Needless to say, it was Cuigu who was the one who gave out the bad breath to her master.

When Cui Gu saw the Five Elements Money, she knew that the Dong Chuang Incident had happened and that the old lady was not dead. She hated that she had not been able to avenge Aunt Wang!
  "I picked it up and thought it was a good thing, so I gave it to the old lady." Cui Gu knew that her death was coming, so she talked nonsense. When people around her were not paying attention, she pulled out the silver hairpin on her head and stabbed it violently. into his own neck.

The blood gurgled out like a spring, dyeing the ground red in a moment. Jiang Bailu and others had never seen such a bloody scene when they were young. They felt a little uncomfortable and instinctively hid behind their elders.

Only Yuan Qi remained unmoved.

Jiang Zhengqing took a closer look and saw that this silver hairpin was given to Cui Gu by the old lady. Now she is using it to cut herself. What a bad luck!

He waved his hand: "Drag it out and bury it."

Xiangli Mingzhu urged the servants to get rid of the body quickly, and complained: "You are really feeding an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf. The old lady is usually nice to her, but she actually wants to harm the old lady."

It was obviously Yuan Qi who discovered the clues and made great contributions, but she didn't mention it at all.

Xiangli Mingzhu continued: "I just don't know where I got the Five Elements Money from. If I don't figure it out, it will always be a hidden danger."

Aunt Li on the side also reacted very sternly: "Everyone is dead, how can we investigate? I hope no one will do such things again in the future."

Aunt Li glanced at Yuan Qi, feeling a little distressed: "This is the first time this child has ever seen an old lady, and she went to see such a shameful thing. This child has been wronged. To say what happened today, it is all thanks to Qi Yatou, if not for it This child has been in a Taoist temple for several years, and we old ladies still don’t know how much loss we will suffer.”

Jiang Zhengqing finally said something fair: "Yes, thanks to Qi Yatou."

He saw that Yuan Qi was still wearing the same set of clothes he had entered the house on the first day, with only one jade hairpin on his head, and the quality looked very ordinary, so he said: "Madam, go to the warehouse to get some pieces of fabric and give them to Qi Yatou. Make a few more sets of clothes and buy her some jewelry. After all, she is a young lady in the house, so she can’t be too shabby.”

Jiang Bailu wanted to say that Yuan Qi, an outsider, was not worthy of the good things in the warehouse.

Xiangli Mingzhu held her arm to prevent her from speaking.

"What the Marquis is saying is that I, the mistress, was careless and didn't prepare properly for Qi Yatou. I will ask someone to make some clothes for Qi Yatou."

Aunt Li quickly pulled Yuan Qi aside: "Qi Yatou, I will take you to pick it up later. You have made great contributions. The Marquis and Madam are in a good mood today. Whatever you want, the Marquis and Madam will give it to you." .”
