Lucky Farmer Girl: I rely on metaphysics to support my family
Chapter 720 Forced Entry
Chapter 720 Forced Entry
Before Tang Wan could even bow, Madam Luo had already stood up, her face full of respect, completely different from usual.
Madam Luo hurried over to greet her, then bowed deeply to Tang Wan: "Master! You're back! We were so grateful for your help yesterday! We will never forget your kindness!"
Tang Wan offered a slight helping hand to Madam Luo and said politely, "Madam Luo, there's no need for such formalities. Putting aside the friendship between our two families, as members of the Xuanmen sect, it is our duty to intervene when we encounter evil spirits harming people."
Her tone was calm, her words sincere, and she was nothing like the aloof person she had been yesterday.
Mrs. Luo breathed a sigh of relief, as long as they weren't met with indifference.
Madam Luo straightened up and said earnestly, "Master, you are truly virtuous! But how can I not thank you for saving my life?"
After saying that, she gestured to the maidservant next to her who was holding a tray covered with red silk, and lifted the red silk.
"Master, you were considerate of our family's circumstances yesterday and waived most of the expenses. Our Luo family will remember this kindness. This three hundred taels of silver is a token of our gratitude for the exorcism. We hope you will accept it." Madam Luo's attitude was sincere, and it was clear that the gift was given with genuine sincerity.
Then, Madam Luo pointed to the brocade and said, "These few bolts of fabric were sent from the capital to make new clothes for the ladies and young ladies in the manor."
Tang Wan glanced at the brocade and nodded slightly: "Madam is too kind. I will accept the money, and I would also like to thank you for the fabric on behalf of my mother and sister."
Mrs. Luo breathed a sigh of relief, and the smile on her face became more natural.
Then, she solemnly took out a brocade box, presented it to Tang Wan with both hands, and said sincerely, "Master, there is also this item. It is a little something I have for you. Please accept it."
Tang Wan was somewhat surprised, and took the brocade box and opened it.
Inside was a set of exquisite and antique kingfisher feather and pearl-inlaid headdress jewelry, with superb craftsmanship, clearly a treasure kept at the bottom of a box.
Both Wang and Tang Jing were somewhat surprised.
Firstly, the craftsmanship is truly surprising to see in the northern deserts, and secondly, it is indeed unexpected that someone could bring this treasure here even after their home was confiscated and they were exiled.
Madam Luo looked at the headdress and said softly, "This is a precious item that came with my dowry when I got married. Master, you saved my whole family's lives. I am giving this to you as a token of my gratitude. Please do not find it offensive."
Tang Wan looked at the brocade box, then at Madam Luo's pleading eyes, and understood. This was not a gift of thanks, but a request for protection.
Tang Wan closed the brocade box and said solemnly, "I appreciate your kindness, Madam. I will accept this gift and thank you for your generous gift."
She paused, looking at Madam Luo's relieved expression, and added, "After this incident, the Luo family mansion will still have a slightly heavier yin energy for a while. After you go back, Madam, you can let your family members bask in the sun more, and burn more mugwort and cypress branches at home. If you feel unwell, you can come to me at any time."
These final words brought tears to Madam Luo's eyes, and she bowed deeply once more: "Thank you for your guidance, Master! With your words, I can finally rest assured!"
Tang Wan nodded slightly and said in a calm tone, "In addition, Wu has now received her retribution for what she did. The feud between our two families caused by her ends here."
Tang Wan then added, "Please convey this to Master Luo; this is my promise as the current head of the Tang family."
Hearing Tang Wan say this, Madam Luo's smile broadened. The trip went more smoothly than expected, and she even got the words "all grudges have been settled," so it was worth it!
"Master is indeed very generous. I will pass on the message to my husband!" Madam Luo said with a smile, then turned to Madam Wang and Tang Jing and said, "Thank you for your hospitality, Madam Tang and Miss Tang. I won't bother you any longer. Let's get together again when we have time later."
Mrs. Luo then took her leave, satisfied.
After seeing Madam Luo off, Madam Wang looked at the exquisite headdress and sighed, "Madam Luo is indeed a wise woman."
Tang Wan picked up the brocade box, her eyes calm: "All she asked for was peace of mind and stability in the future. This set of jewelry is both a thank-you gift and a token of her trust."
After saying that, she handed the brocade box to Tang Jing: "Sister, please keep it."
Tang Jing shook her head and refused, saying, "This was given to you by Madam Luo, how can I accept it!" Madam Wang also persuaded her, "Wan'er, keep it, it can be part of your dowry later!"
"I'll keep these for my sister's dowry. I don't like these things," Tang Wan said firmly.
She doesn't like things that others have worn before. Although in this era everyone values old objects and keeps the finest pieces for posterity, that's fine too.
But if I were to wear it myself, that would be absolutely unacceptable.
Seeing Tang Wan's resolute attitude, Tang Jing looked at her mother.
Wang was in a dilemma. This should have been her second daughter's property, and it would be bad for her reputation if people found out that her older sister had taken it. But judging from her second daughter's attitude, she really didn't like it.
Tang Wan saw Wang's predicament and said with a smile, "Mother, don't worry. I really don't like this other person's thing, but it's a good thing. If you accept it, you'll solve my problem and get a nice item in return. Why not?"
Before Wang could say anything,
Tang Jing then joked, "Oh, you're making it sound like it's my fault if I don't accept it?"
"Of course! So you have to accept it!" Tang Wan said with a smile.
Seeing this, Wang smiled at Tang Jing and said, "Since your sister told you to take it, then take it! Since she doesn't like things that others have used, you can buy her a new one when you come across one that you like."
With her mother's approval and her sister's insistence, Tang Jing finally accepted the magnificent headdress.
The atmosphere in the hall was relaxed and pleasant, while the atmosphere in the War King's camp, thousands of miles away, was completely different.
Meanwhile, in the Southern Desert, at the War King's camp.
The main tent was filled with a strong smell of herbs and blood.
The atmosphere was so oppressive that one could hardly breathe.
The War King's face was no longer pale, but instead had a deathly bluish-gray hue!
His eyes were tightly closed, his jaw was clenched, his forehead was covered with large beads of cold sweat, and his body was convulsing slightly uncontrollably.
The black outfit had been removed, revealing a muscular upper body.
The most shocking thing was the wound on his left shoulder!
"Ugh..." The unconscious War King let out a painful groan, his body jerked violently, and then fell heavily back down.
Er Ya stood helplessly to the side. Just yesterday, the prince said it was just a "superficial injury," and the Seven Star Formation was still working!
Why did his injuries worsen rapidly after returning to the relatively safe camp, even causing him to fall into a coma?
Er Ya wasn't the only one with this question; others were equally puzzled.
The military doctor and several generals surrounded the bed, their faces extremely solemn.
An elderly military doctor with white hair and beard was using gold needles to try to seal several major acupoints around Xiao Yan's heart meridian to prevent the poison from attacking his heart.
"What... what kind of evil poison is this?!" A general's voice carried a hint of barely perceptible fear.
"The high priest launched a desperate counterattack before his death... He was truly vicious!" another person cursed through gritted teeth.
"The real question now is, what should we do?!" Another general, his eyes bloodshot, pointed directly to the problem.
