Lucky Farmer Girl: I rely on metaphysics to support my family

Chapter 880 Affirmation
Just as Tang Wan, Er Ya, and Zhu Xi opened the door to the private room, the door next door was suddenly pushed open from the inside.

A figure rushed out in a hurry, almost colliding with Tang Wan.

Tang Wan, with her keen senses, subtly shifted her foot to the side and successfully avoided the attack.

The man staggered a step, barely regaining his balance, and raised his head, his face revealing undisguised anxiety.

"I'm so sorry, I was impulsive," the other person said apologetically.

She was a woman in her late twenties, dressed simply yet elegantly, with a furrowed brow and red eyes, clearly having encountered some urgent matter.

Seeing that she was in such a hurry, yet still made sure to apologize first, Tang Wan felt a bit more favorably toward her.

She shook her head slightly, about to say it was nothing, but her gaze inadvertently swept across the woman's face, and she was slightly taken aback.

There was a faint, almost imperceptible, aura of decay on the woman's forehead.

Tang Wan could naturally spot the abnormality in his appearance at a glance.

Tang Wan then spoke to the woman who was about to leave, "Madam, has anyone in your household been frightened?"

The woman stopped in her tracks, turned around abruptly, and asked in surprise, "How did you know, young lady?"

Tang Wan did not explain, but looked at her gently and said, "I see from your face that a junior in your family has been disturbed. If you trust me, Madam, you may speak to me, and perhaps I can help."

The woman stared at her blankly, momentarily at a loss for words.

Her maidservant couldn't help but speak up, her voice trembling with tears: "It's our young master. He fell off his horse during his archery lesson at the Imperial Academy today! He was carried home, covered in injuries, and still trembling. The doctor said he's fine, but he keeps shaking. Madam is extremely worried and is on her way back."

"Shut up," the woman snapped, her eyes redder than ever.

Although she had only met the girl by chance and didn't know who she was, she was considering whether to tell her or not when the maid took it upon herself to do so.

Tang Wan didn't pay attention to the lady's attitude, but after listening, she already understood seven or eight parts of the situation.

She hesitated for a moment, then introduced herself, saying, "My surname is Tang. May I ask which family you are from, madam?"

Judging from the woman's clothes and appearance, both her maternal and paternal families were official families, meaning she was her father's colleague. Since they had met, she thought it would be a good thing to make a connection.

The woman composed herself and introduced herself: "My maiden name is Zhou, and my husband's family is the eldest branch of the Wu family."

Grand Secretary Wu – Vice Minister Wu.

Tang Wan's heart stirred.

She certainly remembered Vice Minister Wu.

When I returned to the capital last time, I met Wu Yuan, the third son of the Wu family, in Qiao County. I read his face at that time.

After returning to Beijing, he also performed exorcisms and soul-searching rituals for Vice Minister Wu.

She had never met any of the women in the Wu family, but she recognized the eldest and third masters of the Wu family.

That eldest son is Wu Cifu's eldest grandson, and he is currently studying at the Imperial Academy.

"So you are Madam Wu." Tang Wan bowed and then added, "My surname is Tang, and I am the second son in my family. My father is Tang Bojun, the Minister of Works."

Madam Wu paused for a moment, then suddenly realized: "So she is the daughter of Lord Tang."

Although she had never met the second daughter of the Tang family, the fact that the Tang family had returned from exile and been reinstated to their original positions had been the subject of much discussion recently.

Moreover, it wasn't just Tang Jing; several families who were exiled around the same time were all reinstated to their original positions, which is quite outrageous.

For a period of time, almost everyone was discussing it, and of course, the Tang family received the most attention. This was because not only had their official positions been restored, but they were also highly regarded by the emperor.

Immediately, Madam Wu's eyes reddened again, and she said, "I offended Miss Tang today, and I will definitely come to apologize another day, but today was truly..."

Madam Wu knew about the second young lady of the Tang family, but what help could a young lady from a secluded family possibly offer? So she thought she should hurry and leave to see how her son was doing.

Seeing that she didn't believe her and was unwilling to say more, Tang Wan said, "You are Madam Wu, so I'll say a few more words. We are destined to meet."

Tang Wan took out a neatly folded yellow talisman from her sleeve and handed it to her.

"This is a talisman for protection. Wearing it close to the body can ward off misfortune." Tang Wan looked into Madam Wu's eyes and said gently, "Madam, when you return, you can give this talisman to your son to wear."

Madam Wu hesitated for a moment, but still accepted the talisman with both hands.

Seeing that she was afraid that Tang Wan was not taking it seriously enough, Tang Wan said, "Don't worry, Madam. When you get home, you can mention Tang Yi to your family. This is her talisman. I think your family will understand."

When Madam Wu heard the name Tang Yi, her eyes widened instantly.

She had heard of this name before; her father had been saved by this man, as her master had mentioned.

Thinking of this, Madam Wu hurriedly asked, "This...this is Master Tang's talisman?"

Tang Wan smiled and nodded.

Madam Wu didn't think much of it, assuming that Tang Wan and Master Tang had some connection. But regardless, she was still very excited to have Master Tang's amulet and quickly bowed, saying, "Thank you, thank you for your generosity, Miss Tang."

"Madam, please go quickly." Tang Wan slightly stepped aside to make way for him. "Young Master is still waiting for you."

Madam Wu gave her a deep look, said nothing more, just nodded solemnly, and hurriedly went downstairs with her maid.

Tang Wan stood at the top of the stairs, watching her figure disappear around the corner before turning her gaze away.

Actually, this talisman is only to help the young master of the Wu family keep the situation from getting worse. If a similar situation occurs again, it can help him once more. If he wants to get rid of it completely, he still has to come to me.

However, it's unclear whether Madam Wu could have thought of this.

After all, given his current status in the capital, he can no longer be as straightforward as before, which would make him seem like he's eager to solve problems for others.

Tang Wan went downstairs while thinking, and met up with the old women and servants waiting in the lobby, and got into the carriage.

By the time they returned to the Tang residence, the sun was already setting.

Tang Wan led Zhu Xi to the Wang family's courtyard to pay their respects.

Madam Wang was reclining on the warm couch by the window, looking at the account books. When she saw her come in, she put down what she was holding, smiled, and beckoned her to come closer and sit down.

"After a day of sightseeing, have you gained anything?" Madam Wang asked with a smile.

Tang Wan then recounted in detail what she had seen and heard that day.

As she spoke, she asked Zhuxi to place the samples she had bought on the table for her mother to look at.

Madam Wang picked up a box of Yunxiangzhai's Jade Complexion Cream, opened the lid, smelled it, then used her fingertip to scoop a small amount and spread it on the back of her hand, carefully examining it. She nodded and said, "It is indeed delicate, better than ordinary products. There's a reason why their family has been able to gain a foothold in the capital."

“My daughter thinks so too,” Tang Wan said. “So she wants to look around more and write down the strengths of each shop so that we can have a reference when we open our own shop.”

Wang nodded with a smile, affirming Tang Wan's idea.
