The Ninth Lady is a rebellious person.

Chapter 137 The Ninth Girl Hidden Tightly

No one could call Lang Jiuchuan out. If Jianlan hadn't said that she was moving in the study and that the meal had been prepared, everyone would have thought that she had fainted.

But no one knew that those were just paper figures that Lang Jiuchuan had cut in advance, specifically to deal with them. As for the meals, they were sent somewhere else.

Lang Jiuchuan didn't come out, but Gong Si and the others didn't say anything. They just didn't agree with the Lang family's words. What? He hasn't recovered yet? How could it be such a coincidence?
Gong Qi was very interested. The harder it was to see her, the more curious he was. Could it be that this girl hidden in the Lang family had some supernatural powers?
Could this be the adventure that Uncle Jiu was talking about? What a coincidence, both of them are ranked ninth.

Although Lang Jiuchuan did not show up, it did not prevent Lang Zhengping from continuing to question Gong Si and the others, hoping to figure out the cause of the disaster for the Lang family.

Lang Zhengping even exposed his own shortcomings: "To be honest, our Lang family is already a marginal noble family far away from the center of power and is on the decline. Even if there are political enemies, people like us are not a big threat. I don't know who would regard us as a big enemy and want to wipe out the entire Lang family!"

Gong Qi looked at Lang Zhengping, carefully examining his face, and said, "I see that the prince has a ruddy face, a prominent nose bridge, and distinct arrowheads and nose wings on both sides, which shows that he is on the rise. Although he is a little unwell, he is not prone to bad people. You are the head of the family, and if the head of the family is strong, then the family will be strong, so there is no question of attracting enemies."

Lang Zhengping was overjoyed, but his expression quickly changed and he looked towards Cui subconsciously. Is it over?

What Gong Qi said meant that the disaster was not his fault. Then wouldn't what Lang Jiuchuan said come true?
Was it really her who caused it?

Cui's face also changed, her fingers clenched in her palms. Could it be that she was right? But why was it so? She was just a child who had not yet reached the age of marriage, how could she have caused such a disaster? The other party dared to use this method to deal with the Lang family, so was it just targeting her?

Considering her frail body, was this the result of someone's conspiracy?

Cui's heart began to ache, she groaned, and her face turned pale.

Gong Qi had been paying attention to Lang Zhengping. Seeing his mood changing rapidly, he knew something was going on. Unexpectedly, Cui suddenly groaned.

"Senior brother."

Seeing Cui holding her chest, Gong Si hurried over and said, "Madam, I will help you feel your pulse."

He took Cui's wrist, placed it on top of her, frowned slightly, and said, "Madam, are you suffering from heart disease?"

"Yes." Nanny Cheng had already taken out a small porcelain bottle from her waist pouch, poured out a pill and stuffed it into Cui's mouth, then brought her some warm water for her to take.

Gong Si smelled the medicine and snorted: "This medicine..."

"Our girl gave it to me." Nanny Cheng replied without thinking.

Gong Si's eyes darkened.

Gong Qi walked over and said, "Oh? This is the medicine given by Junior Brother Xiaojiu. My Senior Brother is quite knowledgeable in medicine. Why don't we ask him to see if this medicine is suitable for the condition?"

Nanny Cheng was confused. Is this, is this trying to steal the medicine?
Lang Zhengping rushed over and said, "She's having a heart attack. Hurry up and call the palace doctor. Madam Cheng, quickly help your wife back to her room and let her lie down. I'll ask Dalang to go get the imperial physician myself."

"Oh, oh." Nanny Cheng helped Cui up. After taking the medicine, Cui was no longer uncomfortable. But seeing that Gong Qi wanted to ask for medicine, she did not dare to reveal more. She leaned on Nanny Cheng and left. Gong Qi touched his chin and looked at Gong Si.

Interesting, right?
Gong Si also came to his senses. He was hiding from them. Who was he hiding from? It was naturally the ill Miss Lang Jiu!
"That medicine is very well prepared. It's the herb for treating angina pectoris. At least I smelled some types of salvia miltiorrhiza and Panax notoginseng. I don't know who prepared it." Gong Si likes to study medicine, especially those that are combined with Taoist spells and talismans, such as the Thirteen Needles of Ghost Gate. He likes to study them even more.

"It's really interesting. I won't leave the Lang family!" Gong Qi was full of fighting spirit, his eyes full of cunning.

Lang Zhengping went and came back, bowed and said, "It's such a pity, my sister-in-law has always had angina pectoris, and it's very uncomfortable when she has an attack."

Gong Si said: "The pills that Madam often takes should have good pharmacology and can relieve pain."

"Is that so? The child was filial, and she used the gifts given to her to honor her elders. She also sent a bottle of Yangrong Pills to her grandmother." Lang Zhengping smiled, and then sighed, "It's a pity that she herself is weak."

"My senior brother is a good doctor. He can prescribe a suitable prescription for my junior sister based on her pulse and symptoms." Gong Qi said with a smile.

Lang Zhengping bowed his hands and thanked him: "When this child can be born, I will definitely ask the Taoist priest for help. Before, the young Taoist priest Qinqian said that I don't have the bad appearance of attracting villains, but when my father died, I was almost trapped by that evil magic. I don't know if there is such a sinister appearance in our family?"

Gong Qi said: "We two brothers will know after taking a tour of your mansion. If the prince is not free, we can ask a junior to take us around."

"Then let my son accompany you." Lang Zhengping asked someone to call Lang Caimeng.

When Lang Caimeng arrived and took them around the mansion, Gong Si asked his junior fellow apprentice: "What are your plans? Tell me as soon as possible, don't make any ugly noises. He is still your mother's handkerchief friend."

"What can I plan? I just want to see the ninth girl who is hiding so well." Gong Qi said, "There are only three girls of the right age in the Lang family. Look at those two. It's normal for them to peek at us. The one who hides is actually very interesting."

Gong Si followed his gaze and saw two girls pulling each other over there, so he quickly looked away. The two men seemed to be frightened and quickly ran away.

Gong Qi added: "Moreover, when the Lang family's young master learned that the disaster was not theirs, he was obviously overjoyed, but before he could relax, he was already distressed, but he didn't say it clearly."

He looked at the Lang family's situation and said, "Their family almost attracted this insidious and vicious evil magic, and they asked my mother for help based on their childhood friendship. But look, now that we are here, how is he reacting?"

Gong Si was silent.

He was enthusiastic and thoughtful, but he was not in a hurry about the thing that should have been the most urgent. Instead, he seemed to be hiding something and did not tell them.

Gong Qi continued, "He probably guessed the true cause of the disaster, but he didn't know whether to speak it out. If Miss Langjiu who is hiding comes out, she might have the answer."

Gong Si glanced at him and said unhappily: "If you use your cleverness in cultivation, your cultivation level will probably be lower than that of the young master."

He obviously has a smart brain, but why is he so cunning? He doesn't do his job and is wasting his talent.

Gong Qi smiled and said, "In the human world, it is also a form of cultivation. It depends on what you can realize."
