Li Yue got goosebumps from what she said. She rubbed her arms, glanced at the empty roof, and then smiled at Shen Moyou, "Miss, please don't scare me. This is the Prime Minister's Mansion, guarded by the elite of the Mo family. How can anyone come in so easily?"

Shen Moyou insisted on his own opinion and said meaningfully, "My feeling is not wrong. Besides, even the elite of the Mo family cannot stop those who are determined."

"Miss, Miss, something's wrong..."

Meng Dong ran in in panic, his forehead covered with beads of sweat, obviously he had run all the way back.

Shen Moyou sat up straight, patted her arm and said, "Don't be anxious, talk slowly."

"It's the old lady. She has a sudden illness and seems to be dying."

Meng Dong’s words surprised Shen Moyu.

Furongyuan actually took action so quickly! ?

"Jichun, Laiyue, follow me to Rongsheng Hall. Shengxia, keep an eye on Aunt Fang."

"Yes, ma'am."

On the way, Shen Moyu was a little nervous. He was afraid that the old lady's sudden illness was not a conspiracy of Furongyuan. It was not that he was worried about the old lady, but he was afraid that his rebirth would affect the course of events.

However, this uneasiness came to an abrupt end when she stepped into Rongsheng Hall and saw the Taoist priest.

Aunt Fang...

Did I overestimate you? Just a few words and you took action early.

The decorative furniture of Rongsheng Hall is mostly made of mahogany, which is quite simple and antique. The sandalwood rising from the incense table, mixed with the strong smell of medicine, made Shen Moyu frown slightly.

"Yoyo meets mother, second aunt."

Old Madam Shen suddenly fell ill, so Mo Wushuang and Shen Moyu's second aunt had to be by her side to take care of her. Shen Moyu's second aunt was Qian Ning, the wife of Shen family's second son Shen Wanfeng, and the daughter of Minister of Revenue Qian Guipu. Shen Wanfeng was now working in the Ministry of Personnel and was the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel at the time.

"I have met the young lady."

Taking advantage of the Taoist's greeting, Shen Moyu took a glance at him. He was wearing a blue-gray Taoist robe, and apart from his gentle appearance, there was nothing special about him.

"Mom, how is grandma?"

Old Madam Shen was quite dissatisfied with the fact that Mo Wushuang only gave birth to one daughter, and she was also cold to the mother and daughter, so Shen Moyu was not close to her.

"We have found all the doctors we can. Your grandmother is seriously ill and it happened so suddenly that the doctors can't find the cause."

Qian Ning wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief. It was obvious that he was really worried about the old lady. "My eldest brother and the master are not in the imperial city. What should I do?"

Mo Wushuang was much calmer, patting Qian Ning's back to comfort her, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, mother will be fine."

"Grandma's symptoms don't seem like she's suddenly contracted a serious illness, but rather like she's been poisoned."

Shen Moyu sat beside the old lady's bed, motioning Ji Chun to take her pulse. Although she was a fool in her previous life, she later married the seventh prince Xiao Ting, so that Xiao Ting could ascend to the throne as he wished.

I have endured countless days and nights of study, and have covered everything from astronomy and geography to literature, classics, military science and law.

She even had to be servile to win over court officials. Later, when she entered the imperial palace, she was attacked by countless attacks, even poisoning was common.

"The young lady has been kept in seclusion for many years. The poisoning could be a big deal or a small matter. How can you make such a hasty conclusion?"

Before Shen Moyou pointed his spearhead at the Taoist priest, he was the first to attack. After exchanging glances with Ji Chun who had finished taking the pulse, Shen Moyou stood up and looked at the Taoist priest with a cold gaze, "I don't know who this Taoist priest is. My grandmother is from the backyard, and the Taoist priest is a man after all. It may not be appropriate for him to be present at this time."

The Taoist priest didn't expect Shen Moyou to say that. He was speechless for a moment and looked at Qian Ning beside him, "This... please ask the Second Madam to explain it to me."

"Oh, it's like this. When your grandmother was feeling unwell, the Taoist priest was here. Auntie thought that since he was a hermit and a great master, he might be able to help."

Shen Moyou touched her chin, raised her eyes slightly, and smiled slyly, "Oh... So that's how it is. The doctor can't do anything, but the Taoist priest has the ability to save my grandmother. I also want to hear the Taoist priest's opinion."

The Taoist's face was gloomy, but Shen Moyou's words were irrefutable. He lowered his head, moved his fingers slightly, and a knowing smile appeared on his face, "The old lady is saved."

"So fast?"

Shen Moyou pretended to be surprised and said jokingly, "The Taoist priest is really an expert."

"Hey, stop making trouble and listen to what the Taoist priest has to say first."

Mo Wushuang has followed her father into battle since she was a child. She is a typical atheist and has never believed in Buddhism or God. However, since her husband has agreed, she has no objection.

"Which young lady in our family was born at an ugly hour?"

When the Taoist asked this, Li Yue thought to herself that something was wrong. She remembered that the third lady, Shen Lian'er, was the Chou Shi, so she hurriedly tugged at Shen Moyu's sleeve.

"Miss......"

Shen Moyu shook his head at her, signaling her to stay calm. It was still unknown how this Taoist priest got in touch with Aunt Fang and her daughter, but she believed that the fox would soon reveal its tail.

"Sister-in-law, it seems that Lian'er was born at an ugly hour."

Qian Ning grabbed Mo Wushuang's arm as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.

Mo Wushuang patted Qian Ning's hand, then asked the Taoist priest, "There is indeed a girl born at the hour of Chou in your mansion. What do you want to say, Taoist priest?"

"Being born at the hour of Chou is auspicious. If she is allowed to take care of the old lady, she will be fine."

These words overlapped with those in her previous life. Shen Moyu wished she could twist this stinky Taoist's head and kick it like a ball. In her previous life, she had no doubts at all about such a clumsy lie.

But now, she still would not raise any questions, otherwise the play of Aunt Fang and her daughter would not be able to continue.

"Then hurry up, Xi Que, go and invite Miss Three to come over and take care of mother."

Qian Ning was already at a loss, and when she heard that the old lady could be saved, she asked her personal maid to go to Furong Courtyard to ask for help without thinking, and said to the Taoist priest with tears of gratitude, "Master Lingxu, if the old lady can really be saved from danger this time, the Shen family will reward her handsomely."

"It's just a small favor, Madam, thank you for being so polite."

The Taoist priest pretended to be mysterious and looked at Shen Moyou, "The old lady has the third young lady to take care of her. I will set up a formation outside Rongsheng Hall to protect her. Please go back and rest first."

On the way back to Rose Court from Rongsheng Hall, Mo Wushuang said with emotion, "I didn't expect that Lian'er would have such good fortune. My mother has always disliked her. If she can really recover because of her, maybe..."

Before he finished speaking, Shen Moyou retorted disapprovingly, "My mother is an atheist, how can I believe what that charlatan said?"

Mo Wushuang was not stupid. After hearing his daughter say this, he could understand the situation to some extent. "Yoyo means..."

"If this really happens, who will be the biggest beneficiary? Think carefully, mother."

Anyway, they have returned to the Rose Courtyard. They are not afraid of being overheard when they say what they should and shouldn't say. Mo Wushuang's eyes are full of shock. "You mean Aunt Fang? How dare she!?"

"People die for money, birds die for food, there is nothing she dare not do."
