Chapter 379 Karmic Debt
Jiang Xing, who was outside the carriage, choked and quickly got on the carriage and stuffed the person back in.
"Do you know how long you've been sleeping? The invisibility charm has long expired!"
Blinking, Lu Xuan looked at the intruder with some confusion, "The journey to here is only half an hour, isn't it?"
Jiang Xing opened the carriage curtain and looked at the sun overhead. "Look, it's noon."
Lu Xuan opened his eyes wide: "So long?!"
She lifted the carriage curtain and glanced outside. "Then what about what I said? Hurry up, hurry up, and continue on our journey. We still have to find those families who need me to resolve the situation..."
Sitting next to her, Jiang Xing pulled her hand and squeezed it, unable to help but smile bitterly: "These past two hours, I've walked over to check for you. The capital is peaceful and tranquil, with no hauntings or disturbances. It seems to be truly peaceful."
Lu Xuan let out an "Ah" and was a little disappointed.
"Then how long will it take for the Grandmaster to appear in my dream again? I don't want to be destroyed by the backlash by the time he appears in my dream..."
She was holding her head and muttering, when suddenly, her eyes lit up: "I just remembered that in my previous life, when I was thrown into a mass grave and was harassed by hundreds of ghosts, I overheard many of the ghosts' whispers."
"I know of at least a hundred ghosts who claimed they were unable to return to their ancestral graves. They also claimed they were murdered by unscrupulous individuals who had abandoned their ancestors. It's said they were murdered by the same individual, which is why those ghosts harbor deep resentment, and each one has become a wronged spirit."
"I just don't know if they are still alive in this life. If they are, it might be a great merit!"
Worried that she was hungry, Jiang Xing picked up some snacks from the carriage and fed them to her: "It's my fault that I haven't found a place where the princess can show her talents. You should hide yourself first. I will take you to the restaurant for dinner. After that, we will continue our search."
Lu Xuan brushed away the peach blossom cake he handed over, "It's too sweet. I want something sour."
Jiang Xing didn't think too much about it and nodded towards her body: "Why don't you hurry up?"
Because she was wanted by the emperor, she could hardly draw all the invisibility talismans. She drew fifty of them when she went out today.
Just as he was holding one and about to put it on himself, he heard a knock on the carriage wall.
"Your Highness, Princess, I heard about the thing you are looking for all the way from Xianyifang. I wonder if it counts?" Xuan Ge said outside the carriage.
Lu Xuan's eyes lit up: "Hurry up and tell me!"
"The young lady of the Minister of Works in Nanxunfang has been unable to give birth. It's said she's been crying for seven days and has tried countless midwives, but nothing has worked. They're already starting to prepare the coffin..."
"Okay, okay, okay! I can definitely do it! Go!"
Lu Xuan became excited when he heard this. It was such a rare opportunity, he definitely couldn't let it go!
Jiang Xing frowned: "Let's go have lunch first, and then go after that."
"No, I'm not hungry and I don't have much of an appetite. Go buy some dry food and eat while you walk!"
Jiang Xing was helpless. Seeing that even ten horses couldn't stop the man, the group had no choice but to do as he was told.
Nanxunfang is close and we can get there in less than fifteen minutes.
Lu Xuan dragged Jiang Xing along and strode towards the residence of the Minister of Works.
Jiang Xing was extremely distressed: "This Minister Sun used to have a close relationship with the Ji family. If I go there like this, he might not tell us the truth..."
“You’ll know if you try it!”
The group couldn't see Lu Xuan, but they could clearly hear her voice.
As soon as we arrived at the gate of Sun Mansion, we saw that it was crowded with people. Many servants were coming and going, preparing things like white banners and gauze.
Jiang Xing was pulled by the air around him, and his fingers were knocking on the door.
"Dong dong dong."
The doorman who was moving things nearby finally looked over.
Upon seeing Jiang Xing's elegant attire, the mustachioed servant immediately bowed politely and asked, "Excuse me, sir, what brings you here?"
Fei Xing immediately stepped forward and said, "My master is His Royal Highness Prince Jin. I happened to be passing by today and heard about the situation in your house, so I came to ask about it."
When the doorman heard that it was Prince Jin, he was stunned at first, then he immediately stood up and ran to the main courtyard.
"Master, Master, Prince Jin is here, Prince Jin has come to our house..."
The doorman was so excited that he shouted all the way over. Sun Songnian, the Minister of Works, who was praying with his wife in the Buddhist temple, lowered his clasped hands and immediately opened his eyes: "Who? Who's here?"
The doorman bent over and gasped, "Prince Jin is a young man born with a majestic appearance, extremely noble and handsome. The attendants beside him said he is Prince Jin!"
Prince Jin?
Sun Songnian was skeptical.
Not even a minister has come to his mansion in these years. Now that the funeral is about to begin, Prince Jin is coming?
Why doesn't he believe it?
His eyelids twitched, and he thought again, the matter between Prince Jin and the Ji family has caused a lot of uproar. Could it be that this person has come to settle accounts with his followers because he had some dealings with the Ji family before?
His hands trembled as Sun Songnian glanced at his old wife beside him: "This prince, I have never had any friendship with him..."
Madam Sun slapped the back of his hand and said, "What are you afraid of? Now that you're here, are you going to chase you away? This nobleman is so much higher in rank than you. If you really neglect him, we can't afford to offend him!"
So the old couple quickly lifted their robes and hurried out.
Jiang Xing had been waiting at the door. After two cups of tea, Sun Songnian and Mrs. Sun came over and gave him a faint smile.
"Minister Sun."
When Sun Songnian saw that it was really Jiang Xing, his eyes narrowed and he was so enthusiastic that he could not see straight. "Excuse me, Your Highness, your presence is such an honor to my humble abode! Please come in!"
Then he glanced at the bowing doorman and said angrily, "The prince is here, but you didn't even take him to the main hall to have tea first. How rude!"
Jiang Xing waved his hand magnanimously, "You are too polite, Minister Sun. I am not here for tea today. I heard that the young lady of the mansion has been having difficulty in giving birth, so I came here to see what is going on."
Do you think it's strange?
Not to mention Sun Songnian, even Lu Xuan pinched him hard.
If that's the case, how can people trust her to do things later?
Sun Songnian's expression cracked for a moment, and he chuckled dryly twice, "As expected, it is indeed the prince. He really has a wide range of interests."
But then he breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as they are not here to liquidate the remaining members, then it is fine.
But when Mrs. Sun heard this, she felt a little unhappy.
It turned out to be that dandy prince. Giving birth in the mansion was a life-threatening affair, and the entire mansion was so worried about it that their hair turned a lot white. Yet he actually came to see what was new!
Jiang Xing pretended not to see Madam Sun's face, which immediately darkened. "Master Sun, tell me the truth. Did the young lady really have a difficult labor?"
Worried, frightened, and terrified, Sun Songnian's face flushed red. He seemed to be trying to cheer himself up before sighing with mixed feelings, "How could this be fake?"
No matter what this Bodhisattva comes for, we must serve him well and not offend him.
As soon as he opened his throat, tears immediately fell: "This subordinate's Sun family has not produced a legitimate grandson for several years. I don't know how many pregnancies there have been, but they were either miscarriages or stillbirths. I can't count them all! I just didn't expect that this time, the birth would be so fatal, a difficult labor..."
After hearing this, Jiang Xing finally perked up.
These symptoms are exactly the same as the situation in Shen Tingan's family before!
It seems that this time it is the right medicine, and I should find his Ah Xuan!
Arriving at the main hall, Jiang Xing took a sip of tea, suppressed his inner joy, and said calmly, "I am not here today just to see something strange. If I say that I have a solution to the difficult childbirth in your family, will you and your wife trust me?"
I thought the two people from the Sun Mansion would have their eyes shining when they heard this. After all, his Ah Xuan's ability is unique in the world.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Sun's expression changed immediately.
"Your Highness, this woman's birth is stained with blood, so it would be unlucky for a noble like you to visit at this time. Furthermore, you are a man, and the princess hasn't even given birth yet, yet you claim you can help my daughter-in-law with her difficult birth. I know your Highness is kind enough to help, but this woman's birth is a serious matter, so please don't joke with me."
Lu Xuan almost laughed out loud.
She saw that this Madam Sun swallowed her words again and again, and finally did not say the last word of defiance.
After all, they are still afraid of the threat from Prince Jin's Mansion!
