I Made a Fortune By Raiding Houses In Ancient Times

Chapter 293: Incense

Liu Xiangju knew that Mr. Dong didn't like his eldest daughter, so why would he let her rest in Lingchu's yard?

"Madam, there is a guest room in the house. The bedding is all new. I just washed and dried it a few days ago. Why don't I take you there to rest?"

Dong's face darkened.

“I am Chuchu’s mother-in-law, and I am not a guest. How can I stay in the guest house?”

Seeing Liu Xiangju’s frown, Dong held back her anger and sighed helplessly.

"Forget it, I won't embarrass you. You take me to Chuchu's courtyard. I won't stay in her dormitory. Just arrange a room for me to rest next to it."

Liu Xiangju secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that her attitude was quite good and she didn't insist on living in Ling Chu's dormitory, and took her to Ling Chu's yard.

“Is that the dormitory where Chuchu lives?”

"Yes." Liu Xiangju didn't plan to say more, pointing to the room next to her, "Madam, please live in this room. The bedding and gauze are all new."

Ms. Dong glanced at it and nodded, "Okay, you go in first and open the door and windows to let in some ventilation. I'll go take a look at Chuchu's house. This girl lives alone, and I don't know if she has bought everything."

Seeing Liu Xiangju want to speak, Dong said calmly, "I know Chuchu doesn't like others to mess with her things. Don't worry, I'll just take a look and won't touch them."

 She had already said this, and Liu Xiangju couldn't say anything more.

But even if she said so, if Mrs. Dong insists on insisting, not even one of her slaves can stop her.

Liu Xiangju entered the room next to her, opened the door, and quickly walked in and opened the window.

 Without staying long, he immediately left and turned around to enter Ling Chu's bedroom.

Mr. Dong was standing inside and looking around. When he saw her coming in, he nodded and said, "This dormitory in Chuchu is kept spotless. It seems that you maids have been serving you diligently.

 This way, I feel relieved.

　Okay, I'll go to the next room to rest. When Chuchu comes back, you can call me again. "

Liu Xiangju glanced at the furnishings in the room and secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Mr. Dong didn't move anything.

The Ling family has been in decline, and the Dong family has always been partial. Liu Xiangju is really worried that she will take Ling Chu's things back to Ling Hao and Ling Qing.

 Mr. Dong noticed Liu Xiangju's thoughts, but didn't say anything. She just snorted in her heart and left the dormitory.

Ling Chu was busy at Da Yuan Tower until noon when he came back.

As soon as he entered the mansion, Liu Xiangju came out quickly.

"Girl, the eldest lady came here right after you left the house today. She hasn't left yet. She said she would wait for you to come back and have a meal with you."

 Have dinner with her?

Ling Chu frowned slightly. Dong had always disliked her, so how could he come to have dinner with her? What kind of trouble was he trying to make?

 I didn’t want to pay attention to it, but since Mrs. Dong had been waiting for so long, I’m afraid she wouldn’t let it go until she saw her.

 Instead of letting her make trouble, it is better to send her away first so that she can rest early.

Although Mrs. Dong said she was going to rest in Lingchu's courtyard, she only lay there for less than half an hour.

As soon as they met, Ling Chu took one look at him and said directly, "You are here, but you have something to do?"

Ms. Dong put down the tea cup. Although she didn't want to get angry, it was obvious that her attitude was so cold. When she thought about Han Yao's wounds, she couldn't suppress her anger.

“Why, when you see your mother, you don’t even say hello?”

Ling Chu sat down directly, took the tea cup brought by Liu Xiangju, and drank half of it before putting it down.

He looked at Mr. Dong expressionlessly and said softly, "If you have something to say, please come back."

　　"You...", Mrs. Dong subconsciously wanted to get angry, but thinking of the purpose of her trip, she had to suppress her anger.

“I came to Xicheng for business, so I stopped by to see how you are getting used to living alone.”

Lingchu was unmoved and didn't believe her words at all.

"There are no outsiders here, so there is no need to pretend. Since we hate each other, there is no need to do these superficial things."

Ms. Dong was so angry at her words that she almost had a cerebral infarction, but she couldn't have it yet.

"Your grandmother asked me to come over and tell you something. It's getting late now, so you can let the maid prepare the meal first. I'll tell you something after the meal."

"I grew up in a Taoist temple, and my taste is light. I'm afraid the food here may not be to your taste, so I won't let you eat. If nothing happens, I'll go back and rest first."

Lingchu didn't know what she had planned, but he could see something unusual about her.

  I don’t want to follow her words at all.

 Ling Chu stood up and prepared to leave.

Mrs. Dong stopped pretending and said with a stern face, "Your grandmother showed you a house. You come back tomorrow and accompany your grandmother to Linggu Temple to offer incense. The Chen family will also take Young Master Chen there. You guys take the opportunity." See you last time.”

Ling Chu frowned and asked her to look at him?

"I have said before that my body is not suitable for marriage, so there is no need to waste time on me. If there is a suitable family, you can introduce it to the second sister and the third sister."

“Young and old are in order. If you are not married, how can Qing’er and Hui’er get married? You are not satisfied with the Zhao family’s marriage and have already withdrawn. Your grandmother spent a lot of effort to help you choose the Chen family.

Your grandmother wants you to meet each other first, and then discuss marriage if it's appropriate. If you don't want to, your grandmother won't force you to get married. "

 “I’ve given you the words, it’s up to you what to do.”

 Mr. Dong finished speaking with a cold face and left angrily.

 Getting on the carriage, his face had regained its composure.

 When the driver left Qintai Street, Mrs. Dong immediately asked him to divert and stop two streets away from Dingyuan Prince's Mansion.

Dong found a child and spent ten coins to ask him to deliver a letter to the Dingyuan Palace.

Lingchu didn't take Dong's words to heart.

 She has no intention of getting married in this life, let alone meeting Mr. Chen.

Let the maid prepare the meal. After eating, wash up and go to bed.

On this night, Ling Chu’s sleep was not stable, and he had messy dreams one after another.

At Dingyuan Palace, Han Yao received the letter that the concierge asked the maid to bring in. She only glanced at it and put it away, locking it in the dowry.

 The next day, Han Yao found Han Song.

“Second brother, the imperial doctor can’t do anything about my concubine’s illness. I want to go to the temple to offer incense and pray for my concubine, and ask Bodhisattva to bless my concubine to wake up soon.”

"Are you going to offer incense and pray for your mother-in-law? That's fine. Just remember to bring more guards and leave early and come back early." Han Song stayed in the courtyard of Princess Dingyuan all night, looking a little haggard.

The imperial doctor and the doctors in Kyoto were helpless. Han Lin found out that there was a miracle doctor with extremely high medical skills, so he hurriedly set out to invite someone yesterday.

Han Song didn’t know if the miraculous doctor was sure of rescuing his mother and concubine. Han Yao was willing to go burn incense and pray, lest she give him a headache by crying all the time.

“Second brother, don’t worry, I will take my guard with me.”

Han Yao said that she went to the temple to offer incense and pray for blessings.

 However, after leaving the mansion, he went straight to Chongxu Temple.

 “The county lord is here?”

"Taoist Master, this is ten thousand taels. I will give you a big thank you after the work is done!"
