But in fact, it was because Bai Chen's movements were too fast. In the eyes of some people, he seemed to flash by like a gust of wind.
So, I didn’t see it.
After returning to Chenxu Courtyard, Bai Chen carried Lord Qi from the back door into the former eldest son's study, and then placed him on the couch.
The lights in the study had been turned on in advance. In the dim light, Lord Qi looked at his eldest son's study and couldn't help but shed tears.
He even asked someone to decorate this study for him? Unfortunately...
If he were still alive, I wouldn't have to worry about having no successor!
Now, both of his sons have Qin family blood, and both have vicious bloodlines. As long as he can live, there will be no way for his sons with Qin bloodline to inherit the title.
The second one can’t do it, and the third one can’t do it either.
In the opinion of the Marquis of Qi, the second and third sons were probably involved in the plot to murder him.
This matter really wronged the third brother, he was not involved at all!
But Lord Qi didn't know that he had already labeled his three children as vicious.
"The eldest master taught me a way to save you. Do you want to try it?"
Of course I have to try. Lord Qi bulged his eyes, but he had no way of answering.
"But you have to promise me one thing." Bai Chen said coldly as he prepared the acupuncture tools.
If it wasn't necessary for the mission, I wouldn't have saved him.
If Ji Jiuyue wants to take root in the Marquis' Mansion, he must of course get the approval of the person at the helm.
Although the Tan family is a backer, how can I always ask them for help? It’s enough to have the Tan family’s name, so I don’t have to bother them so often.
"If you agree, look to the left. If you disagree, look to the right." Bai Chen said again.
There was no reason for Lord Qi to disagree. As long as he could be saved and not die, of course he would do it. He would not let himself do something that goes against his principles.
No matter what, compared with principles, life seems to be more important.
So, Lord Qi turned his eyes to the left without much hesitation.
"Very good." Bai Chen took some needles to the flame of the oil lamp to disinfect them, and then said: "Now, there may be no one in the entire Marquis' Mansion who doesn't want me to disappear quickly.
Including you! ”
Lord Qi was extremely embarrassed.
Indeed, he felt that a country woman living in the marquis's mansion was quite an eyesore.
He just let her live for the sake of his eldest son or the Tan family.
"For these three of them, this time, I'm afraid it's not just as simple as catching ghosts!
They would get rid of me as well and then take away my late mother-in-law's dowry from me.
After all, the Qin family is a small family, so the dowry is quite small.
It is understandable that they are short-sighted.”
Lord Qi: ... Compared with your family, the Qin family doesn't seem to be a small family.
However, when he heard Bai Chen say this, his impression of Bai Chen changed a lot.
It turns out that although the eldest daughter-in-law was born in the countryside, she is actually a smart person.
She knew that she was not welcome in the Marquis' Mansion, and she also knew that the main purpose of the mother and her two children was to deal with her.
She understood so well, yet was so calm, as if she was a child who had seen the world and seemed quite elegant.
Such a woman seems barely worthy of his own Xuan'er.
It's a pity that Xuan'er and she can only live apart.
"You know, I'm just a weak woman. If they want to kill me, I will die without the help of the eldest master.
All I ask is that you save me.
Maybe they'll do it tonight.
At this moment, the entire marquis's mansion has been controlled by your second son and your brother-in-law.
You have to hurry up to turn the situation around.”
Lord Qi rolled his eyes to the left again, indicating his agreement. They had to take action tonight, and they were still negotiating the terms.
Can we save him first and talk later
"Thank you, eunuch." Bai Chen thanked him politely, giving him enough face.
In order to save time, Bai Chen didn't act pretentiously at all and quickly opened Lord Qi's clothes, revealing his chest and belly.
Lord Qi: ... So, is this really okay
It doesn't make sense. It doesn't make sense!
However, just as he was lamenting that he was an old man who was naked in front of his daughter-in-law, the needles in Bai Chen's hand had already pierced one by one.
Half an hour later, some black blood beads began to seep out from the needle holes on the fingertips of Lord Qi.
Another half an hour later, he finally felt that his body could move and he could open his mouth to speak.
"At this moment, those guards who are loyal to you have been acupunctured by your brother-in-law and are unable to move. If you want to find help, you have to go out of the house to find it." Bai Chen said as he removed the needles.
Although I can help to unblock the acupuncture points, I am just a "weak woman"!
How can I expose my strength
I think that as the Marquis of Pingchang Marquisate, all his power should not be concentrated in the Marquisate.
Lord Qi quickly closed his clothes, his old face flushed, and when he was about to stand up, he felt dizzy and was so hungry that he had no strength left.
After twenty-four hours without food or water, even if he could move, he would be as weak as a shrimp.
Just as Lord Qi was awkwardly hesitating whether to ask his daughter-in-law to prepare some food for him, the door of the study opened automatically.
A bowl of porridge has floated over.
This phenomenon frightened Lord Qi so much that his heart began to tremble again.
Could it be that the eldest son really turned into a ghost and never left the Marquis' Mansion? Now he came in carrying porridge.
That's the truth! But...
Bai Chen took the bowl, put it on the table, and said: "Although my husband is in heaven, he has always been thinking about you. This is the porridge he sent to you with his immortal power."
"Oh! So that's it!" Lord Qi breathed a sigh of relief.
It turns out that Xuan'er is really a god. That's great.
In order to prevent the people in Chenxu Courtyard from discovering that Marquis Qi had come here, Bai Chen released the eldest son to help him.
When he found out that his father had not eaten for more than twenty hours, he went into the kitchen and brought him some porridge.
In order to avoid the servants of Chenxu Courtyard, he flew in the air all the way until he reached the door of the study, then floated down to the ground.
After all, there is no way for earthly bowls to become invisible.
When the eldest son came in, Lord Qi couldn't see him, so in his opinion, the bowl was floating in the air.
In fact, when Bai Chen was giving acupuncture to Lord Qi, he was always looking at his father.
Seeing his father being hurt like this by his second brother, the eldest son felt both distressed and moved.
At least dad didn't agree to let those Taoists kill him. Dad is still the kind father in my mind.
Of course he didn't know that in the original plot, his father only hesitated for a moment before agreeing to let the Taoist priest kill the two ghosts of his son and daughter-in-law.
Of course, Bai Chen couldn't tell the eldest son this.
In the original plot, Marquis Qi thought that his son and daughter-in-law were evil spirits who came to the mansion to do evil, so he ordered them to be killed.
But now, the plot has changed a lot. He has preconceived that his son is a fairy from heaven, and that the good fortune of the Marquis' Mansion over the years was brought about by the gods from heaven.
So, if someone suddenly said that his eldest son was actually a ghost and was still staying in the Marquis' Mansion, he would find it difficult to accept it.
