Chapter 1269: Being Beaten
"The wedding is going to be held the day after tomorrow. I don't know whether Dai Xu has called off the engagement." Lu Zhaoling is still waiting for Dai Xu to bring the brother and sister here.
However, she really had to thank Sun Yanyan for the matter concerning the Cui family in Huaixi Prefecture.
"Thank you, Young Master Sun, for helping me find out these things. I have no way to repay you, so I can only give you the talisman. Please don't despise it, Young Master Sun."
"How dare I despise you!" Sun Yanyan was very surprised. "Miss Lu asked my sister to bring me a gift yesterday. How can I ask for Miss Lu's treasure talisman for such a small matter?"
Treasure Talisman......
Lu Zhaoling coughed, "Qingyin, give two amulets to Young Master Sun."
"Yes."
Sun Yanyan wanted to refuse, but seeing so many people present, he accepted it.
"Thank you, Miss Lu."
He will continue to help Miss Lu to check more later. Also, all the good things that Sun’s business gets from traveling all over the country must be sent to Miss Lu.
After Master Sun left, Madam Lin and Lin Yanran came over to taste the tea and praised it highly.
"This tea is probably from the best batch in the tea garden. We only get a small amount every year, so it can't be used as a tribute. Otherwise, with this quality, it would definitely be worthy of being used as a tribute."
So just a few kilograms of tea should be worth a lot of money.
And Sun Yanyan also gave something else.
The Sun Family Business really helped them a lot during their trip to the southwest and Subei. At least in terms of their food and accommodation, they were absolutely well taken care of. So when Lu Zhaoling gave the talisman to Sun Yanyan, Zhou Shiyue didn't say anything.
He is not jealous of everything or everyone.
Uncle Liu came to report, "Miss, Master Dai is here again."
"coming?"
Lu Zhaoling was waiting for them.
"But I thought Dai Xu would send someone to bring the siblings here, but he came in person? Can he still leave now?"
Madam Lin and Lin Yanran also knew that Dai Xu was going to marry the third daughter of the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion. They were quite surprised that Dai Xu was still free to come in person.
Lin Yanran was a little gossipy and wanted to see what Dai Xu was doing here.
If Dai Xu really wanted to cancel the engagement, from a woman's perspective, Lin Yanran was also worried that the second young lady of the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion would not be able to bear it.
If it was really Dai Xu's problem, she probably wouldn't be able to help but curse him.
"Let them wait under the locust tree, we'll go out." Lu Zhaoling didn't let anyone into the hall.
Yin Changxing and the others also heard about the brother and sister, and came out to see what was happening.
"Ms. Lu, come quickly!"
Dai Xu really came in person.
As soon as he saw Lu Zhaoling coming out, he shouted loudly, but the shout pulled the wounds on the corners of his mouth and face, causing him to gasp in pain and cover his face.
Only then did everyone see Dai Xu's appearance.
"Puch."
Rong Jingjing couldn't help laughing.
The corner of Lu Zhaoling's mouth twitched as well.
Dai Xu looked fine yesterday, but today he was beaten black and blue. The most swollen part was his right lip, which was swollen to the size of a duck egg and even to his face. His lips were even pulled and deformed.
Prince Dai, who used to be a handsome young man, now looks a bit wretched no matter how you look at him.
It was so swollen that it was funny, but if you laughed out loud you would feel like you had no sympathy at all.
Zhou Shiyue had no sympathy at all and said directly, "It's ugly and hurts my eyes."
Dai Xu sniffed and looked miserable.
"Was this caused by the Marquis of Runan?" Zhou Shiyue asked.
"Yes." Dai Xu responded bitterly.
"Why is only one side swollen?" Zhou Shiyue asked again.
Dai Xu looked at him in disbelief, "Your Majesty, I haven't offended you."
"Okay, get out of the way." Zhou Shiyue thought his appearance was really an eyesore.
"Eh."
Dai Xu was angry but dared not say anything. He could only step aside and turn sideways to avoid the eyes of His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin.
Three generations of grandparents and grandchildren were standing under the locust tree.
The grandfather of this brother and sister is actually not that old. He looks honest, but his family should not be very poor. The clothes he wears are washed clean and are neither new nor old.
Originally, this family was just an ordinary, hard-working family.
But once something like this happens, it would be like the sky falling for them.
Not being very poor is based on the premise that there is no disease, no disaster, and no major accident. Most people in the world can get by when things are stable, but cannot afford it when accidents happen.
Now the old man's face is full of sorrow and fear.
When he saw Prince Jin and his entourage, he immediately bent down, held the back of one of his grandsons' head with one hand, and whispered to them to lower their heads quickly.
But he was still in a panic, not knowing whether to kneel down.
Aunt Liu next to them told them not to be afraid, otherwise they would have knelt down long ago.
The main reason is that he also doesn't know the identity of King Jin.
"Don't be nervous, old man."
Lu Zhaoling saw their fear and whispered, "Did these two children run into some evil spirit?"
"Miss, you can tell it at a glance?" The old man was very surprised.
Dai Xu couldn't help but say, "Didn't I tell you? Miss Lu is very powerful. With her help, you don't have to worry about anything!"
Zhou Shiyue glanced over and he immediately shut up again.
"Uncle, this is not a big deal. We can handle it. Just get rid of the evil spirits of these two children."
"But, how much silver does it cost?" asked the old man.
The little girl next to her mustered up the courage to raise her head and looked at Lu Zhaoling.
"My family has no money, but I know something is wrong between me and my brother. This morning, my grandfather wanted to take us out, but I didn't want to, and I couldn't help wanting to kick him."
At the moment of kicking her grandfather, the little girl, who used to be very filial, felt a chill in her heart and burst into tears.
She felt that she was not like this before.
How could she kick Grandpa? However, she couldn't control her anger. When she heard Grandpa's voice trying to teach her, she always wanted to yell and curse at him, "What a disgusting old man!"
My brother did the same and wanted to bite her today.
She got so angry that she almost picked up a stone and knocked out his front teeth.
The little girl was also scared.
"I'm not like that, sister, can you save me? I can be your slave..."
"You should call me Miss, but don't, don't talk nonsense." The old man was nervous.
Lin Yanran's eyes were red.
"Mom, this little sister should actually be very sensible, right?"
Mrs. Lin sighed.
"You can tell he's a good kid."
Lu Zhaoling walked over and said, "I can cure you, don't hurt me."
"How about you two come and help me clean the yard for a few days? Then you don't have to charge me."
The old man was surprised and a little bit unbelievable.
Dai Xu said, "I'll help you pay..."
"Prince Dai talks a lot." Yin Yunting said.
But he has a good heart.
Lu Zhaoling ignored Dai Xu.
The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren immediately agreed and said that they would all come to help.
Lu Zhaoling took out two talismans and asked the brother and sister to stand under the locust tree. She gently waved the talisman and swirled it over their heads.
"The sun rises in the east. I grant you a magic talisman to sweep away all bad luck, remove evil and darkness, and keep you healthy. Please do as the law commands."
The talisman ignited instantly.
Lu Zhaoling reached out and pressed their foreheads.
"break."
Both the brother and sister stared at her intently.
The old man stood nervously by the side, and at this time he saw black mist dissipating above his granddaughter and grandson's heads.
