The family is full of villains, and the little apprentice sister is going crazy!
Chapter 23 The Zhou Mansion is Not Simple
A few days later, the four finally reached Half Moon City.
Walking into the city, there are endless carriages coming and going, the streets are bustling with people, and there is peace everywhere.
They had not walked far when they saw a group of people gathered not far away, seemingly looking at something.
The four of them went to join in the fun out of curiosity, and saw a notice that read:
My son's life is in danger. If anyone can save my son, Zhou Xi will definitely offer the glazed purple gold tripod with both hands as a thank you.
"This Master Zhou is really generous, but Young Master Zhou's illness has been treated by many immortals but has not been cured. I'm afraid he is in danger."
"Who says it's not true? So many immortal masters have come this month and they are all helpless."
"Oh, poor Mr. Zhou, what a good man he is."
……
Zhu Yunqing took down the notice without saying a word. For an alchemist, the temptation of the Glazed Purple Gold Cauldron was too great, so he had to make this trip.
Among the ten major medicine cauldrons, this glazed purple gold cauldron ranks fifth.
No matter what, he was going to give it a try.
As soon as the notice was taken down, people from Zhou Mansion came to greet them and politely invited them to the mansion.
As soon as the four people got off the carriage, they saw that the entire Zhou Mansion was hung with white silk, and it seemed that the funeral had not yet ended.
"My wife just passed away three days ago. The master has been taking care of the funeral ceremonies these days. Later, the master will return to the mansion to entertain the immortals."
The person who spoke was the housekeeper of the Zhou Mansion, and then he brought a few people into the Zhou Mansion.
As soon as she stepped into Zhou Mansion, a cool breeze blew past. For some reason, Song Lanyue felt a chill and her arms were covered with goose bumps.
"This old servant will take you to see my young master right now."
Butler Zhou walked in front, leading everyone through many twists and turns to the villa.
Inside the room, a woman in plain clothes was wiping the sweat off the person on the bed.
"Madam, this is the immortal who came to treat the young master."
The woman looked up and said, "I'm counting on you, immortals." Her voice was hoarse, and it was obvious that she had just cried for a while.
"No need to be so polite." Zhu Yunqing lifted the curtain and walked to the bed.
Although the person on the bed had his eyes open, he could not speak, and a look of fear appeared in his eyes from time to time.
He checked his injuries again and found that many parts of his body had begun to rot, with the most serious area being his private parts.
Zhu Yunqing felt his pulse again and found that he was almost at the edge of his breath and could die at any time.
Such symptoms...
"How is it?" the young lady came forward and asked, looking nervous.
"It can still be saved, but the private parts may be beyond repair." Zhu Yunqing told the truth, and then asked for paper and pen to write down the spiritual herbs he wanted to use.
The butler took the list happily. He had to tell the master the good news quickly, so he left the Zhou Mansion in a hurry.
"Thank you, Immortal. As long as you can save my husband's life, I won't ask for anything else." The young lady wiped her tears. This was the best result she had heard in a month.
"Come here, take the immortals to the side rooms, and tell the kitchen to prepare meals." The young lady gave the order, and soon a maid led them out.
Ye Jinse refused, "No need, we are all immortal cultivators who have practiced fasting for a long time."
The man smiled and said softly, "This is the Zhou family's way of entertaining guests. I hope you immortals will not despise it. Although it is just a folk dish, it has a unique flavor."
Now, it was no longer easy for them to refuse.
"Sister, how did your young master become ill?" Song Lanyue asked the maid.
"Alas, my young master went out for business a month ago and never came back. When the servants of the Zhou Mansion found him, he was only breathing his last breath."
"After hearing the sad news, the old lady fell ill for a long time. Three days ago..."
"Now I am grateful to all the immortals for saving my life." The maid couldn't help but sigh when she talked about these things.
After that, the maid brought a few people to the side room.
"My fellow immortals, please take a rest. The servants will bring you food shortly." The maid said this and went downstairs.
Several people sat in the same room.
Zhu Yunqing gave a brief description of the Zhou family's young master's injuries, and almost prevented the other three from passing by.
"Hey, I always feel like there's something weird about this Zhou Mansion." Song Lanyue couldn't explain it, it was just an intuition.
Zhu Yunqing was about to speak when the voice of a maid came from outside the door.
"Master, the food is ready."
"come in."
Soon, the maid brought in a dish after dish of delicious food. After all the dishes were served, she left quietly and closed the door for the four people.
The three of them looked at each other. When Song Lanyue was hesitating whether to pick up her chopsticks, she saw Wen Jing had already taken several big bites, like a starving ghost.
Wen Jing chewed his food and spoke incoherently: "I don't think Junior Sister can do it as well as I did."
The three people present rolled their eyes at him.
Even though it doesn’t taste good, I still eat it.
In the end, Song Lanyue still didn't pick up her chopsticks. She didn't know why she just couldn't eat. Ye Jinse and Zhu Yunqing were used to fasting and didn't care about these appetites.
Zhu Yunqing checked the food anyway, and when he found that there was no problem, he let Wen Jing do as he pleased.
In the end, Wen Jing ate most of the food by himself, and looked at the three people with a puzzled look: "Why don't you eat?"
Three people: "..."
Zhu Yunqing made a spell to prevent others from eavesdropping, and then said: "I think this Zhou family young master not only has external injuries, but also has been hit by a demon."
"If it's not a demonic spell, it can't explain his symptoms at all."
"This Zhou Mansion is definitely not as simple as it appears on the surface." Ye Jinse also spoke, looking a little solemn.
After hearing what the two of them said, Song Lanyue rubbed her arms. No wonder she always felt that something was wrong with the Zhou Mansion. She didn't expect that it was really wrong!
*
inside the house.
"Young Madam, they have almost finished the food that was sent to them." The maid replied while standing in front of the woman.
"That's good. These immortals are all distinguished guests and must be treated well." The woman put down the handkerchief in her hand, then covered the person on the bed with a quilt before leaving.
After the woman left, only two maids were left in the house to guard the young master of the Zhou family.
"Oh, the young lady is so pitiful. She has only been married for three months and has encountered such a thing."
"Don't tell anyone else. I heard from many people that it was the young lady who killed the old lady and the young master, which is why the young master has become what he is now."
"Do you think that even with so many immortals here, we are helpless?"
The two maids were talking to each other in whispers, and all their words were heard by the invisible Wen Jing and Song Lanyue.
……
"I'm so angry. The young lady is such a nice person. If I had married into a family like her, I would have run away long ago. I didn't expect there would be such a person who couldn't tell right from wrong! Likes and dislikes!"
Wen Jing sat in the room with an angry look on his face, standing up for the young lady of the Zhou family.
Song Lanyue also sighed: "Since ancient times, the world has been harsh on women."
