Chapter 15 The Truth
"This..." The old lady turned her head to look at Yan Zhenren, "Why did the real person never mention it?"

At this moment, Zhenren Yan could only bite the bullet and say: "I was passing by, so I will help you to take a look, and it has nothing to do with whether I am aloof or not!"

At that time, I was also afraid that I would reveal my secrets, so I asked the grandfather and grandson to find a temple instead of a Taoist temple.

"Naturally it has something to do with it." Gu Yunxi said softly, "If Master Yan has withdrawn from the view because of his character or morality, what he said is naturally unbelievable."

"You girl will justify yourself! You were originally destined to die early, but now your fate has changed suddenly and you are full of vitality. This is clearly taking away the life of others, and the child in Si Yiniang's womb is an ironclad proof!"

Zhenren Yan said eloquently that although he has misbehavior, he still has real skills, otherwise how could he make a name in the capital.

"Amitabha, Lord Yan's words are wrong."

Huiming looked at the old lady, "The poor monk said before that the little friend's fate has changed, I wonder if the benefactor still remembers?"

The old lady suddenly remembered that after Lin Xi fell into the water and saved her life, she always talked nonsense at night, and was also in a daze during the day, as if she had changed into a different person.

She was worried, so she went to Master Huiming to clarify her doubts. Master Huiming said at the time: "The benefactor does not need to worry. The benefactor Lin lives and dies, and his fate has changed. For the time being, it is not clear what is a dream and what is reality."

At that time, she also asked Master Huiming, how can fate be changed at will.

Master Huiming replied: "Reincarnation of cause and effect, dependent origin and extinction is the law, and the donor should be at ease."

Master Huiming spoke profoundly, but she didn't understand what it meant at the time.A few days later, Lin Xi returned to normal, and she forgot about it.

"Remember, remember." The old lady asked lately, "Then this is the theory of taking life away."

"Phoenix nirvana, rejuvenated, soaring into the sky. The compassion of the Buddha leaves a glimmer of life for the world." Master Huiming said.

"So, the death of the child in Fourth Aunt's womb has nothing to do with Second Miss!" Second Lady asked at this time.

Huiming said, "Exactly."

"Impossible! I don't believe it!" The voice was like broken jade, which cheered everyone up.

Everyone found out that at some point, Fourth Aunt actually appeared at the door, and she couldn't even stand still, so she could only hold on to the door frame to barely stand.

His face was pale, tears were streaming down his face, and he almost collapsed.

"Why did you come out? Why don't you hurry back and rest." The old lady frowned, her tone a bit harsh.

"My son died for no apparent reason. Even if I die, I can't rest in peace. I beg the old lady to make the decision." The fourth aunt walked to the old lady with the help of her maidservants.

"Master Huiming said that it has nothing to do with the second girl, so why bother with the fourth aunt." The second lady said.

"How can it be irrelevant! Before the second lady returned to the mansion, it was still in the concubine's stomach. Since the second lady returned to the mansion, he seemed to be frightened and moved frequently. Until... Until these two days, he didn't even move gone."

Si Yiniang broke down and cried, and continued: "The doctor said that the concubine's pregnancy looks stable, if it wasn't for the second young lady, how could the concubine give birth to a dead baby!"

Everyone in the main hall looked at each other, speechless.

The whole main hall was so quiet, only the sound of Fourth Aunt sobbing, suddenly Master Huiming said: "Can I borrow the poor monk to have a look at the sachet on the benefactor's waist?"

The lady at the side changed her expression drastically when she heard the words, and the fingers on her cuffs trembled slightly.

Everyone's eyes were on Si Yiniang, only Gu Yunxi, who was standing on the outermost side, saw this scene.

Master Huiming took the sachet handed over by the maid, looked back and forth, and tore open the seal to reveal a safety talisman.

"Master, what's wrong?" the old lady said.

Huiming put the safety talisman in front of his nose and smelled it and asked: "This talisman smells not only the cinnabar smell, but also a faint sweet smell, which is very similar to the smell of oleander."

The second lady was puzzled and asked, "Oleander? What is that?"

"Oleander is a plant with poisonous flowers, leaves, and stems. Just one petal can poison a full-grown horse. It mostly grows in the warm south. I don't know if I'm right?"

Huiming nodded and said, "Little friend is knowledgeable."

"Pregnant women, who accidentally touch oleander, often experience abdominal pain, vomiting, and insomnia symptoms. Fourth aunt thinks what I said is wrong?" Gu Yunxi continued.

"That's right." The fourth aunt couldn't believe it, "I've been suffering from insomnia and abdominal pain at night for the past few days. The doctor said that it's normal for me to be older, and I can't sleep well. As for the vomiting, I just thought it was a prolonged period of morning sickness. "

"Auntie, do you remember where this peace talisman came from?" Gu Yunxi asked.

Fourth Aunt raised her head in a daze, and looked at Lin Ansheng who was standing beside the eldest lady.

Gu Yunxi thought to himself, it really is so.Fourth aunt is cautious, she will never accept things of unknown origin, and only Lin Ansheng, the daughter, can make her relax her vigilance.

It's a pity she's an idiot.

"It's not me, it's really not me. I went to the temple to ask for this peace talisman. Auntie is my biological mother, how could I harm her!" Lin Ansheng explained in a panic.

"Did this talisman pass through someone else's hands?" the old lady asked.

"No, after the monk handed it to me, I put it away."

Lin Ansheng tried hard to recall, and suddenly said, "No, someone has touched it! Eldest sister! Eldest sister has touched it! As soon as I returned home that day, eldest sister's maid, Amber, came to me and said that elder sister had cut a dress that was a little too long. I will try to see if it fits. My eldest sister must have secretly changed it when I was changing clothes!"

"Nonsense!" The eldest lady slapped Lin Ansheng directly on the face, "Your elder sister is not here today, so you slander her like this?!"

"Grandmother, what my granddaughter said is the truth. After my granddaughter tried on the clothes, she gave the peace amulet to Auntie when she returned home." Lin Ansheng said seriously, covering her face.

"Mother Qiu, go and bring the amber that is beside the eldest lady." The old lady ordered.

As soon as Hu Po followed Qiu's mother to the main hall, the eldest lady slapped Hu Po on the face again.

"Little bastard, did you change the third girl's safety talisman?!"

"The servant did not change, and when the third girl was trying on the clothes, the peace amulet fell out of it.

The servant girl didn't know that the oleander was poisonous, so she picked up the amulet with the hand that touched the oleander. "

"Oleander grows in the south, and most people in Kyoto have never seen it. Where did you get it?" The old lady asked sharply.

"It was hot in those few days, and the crabapple flowers in the courtyard were sunburned to death. The eldest lady asked the servants to buy potted flowers to replace them. The servants saw the oleanders blooming brightly on the stall and bought them back.

The servant girl is the son of the mansion. She grew up in the mansion. She really didn't know that the oleander was poisonous.I beg the old lady to spare the life of the servant girl. "

Upon hearing this, Fourth Aunt jumped at Hu Po and stretched out five fingers to scratch her face.

"You give back my child, give me back my child."

"Drag it down, beat me to death with a stick!" The old lady gave an order, and the servants dragged Amber out directly.

"Forgive me, old lady, please spare my life!" Hu Po shouted in despair, dragging her feet on the ground, her face covered with blood.

"Grandmother." Gu Yunxi whispered, "Master Huiming is still here."

The old lady felt guilty towards Gu Yunxi, and felt that it was really not good to kill a life in front of Master Huiming, so she said, "Drag it to the firewood room and lock it up."

"Si Yiniang is weak, get up and sit down and listen slowly." Gu Yunxi walked up to Si Yiniang and helped her onto the seat.

Si Yiniang sat on the chair in a daze, looked up at Gu Yunxi's calm face from the beginning to the end, and always felt that there was something in the second young lady's words.
