The Ninth Lady is a rebellious person.

Chapter 170 If she doesn't look for trouble, trouble will look for her
Lang Jiuchuan entered the tower, and when she came out it was already past breakfast time. It was only when she heard Nanny Cheng coming to invite her that she was willing to come out of the tower.

The Little Nine Tower is simply her life-saving medicine, and it is also a walking treasure spirit tower. With it, she can enter the tower at any time to nourish her remaining soul and comprehend the treasures left by Master Basil.

That’s right, the residual soul.

It was when she was nourishing her soul and meditating in the tower that she remembered the wizard's blessing when he touched her head, saying that her remaining soul could also achieve nirvana.

This remnant soul, is referring to herself, right?

How does a broken soul gradually restore its two souls and five spirits in the underworld?

Lang Jiuchuan looked at her hands and pursed her lips slightly. She seemed to have really forgotten a lot of things.

"Young lady?" Nanny Cheng pushed the door open and came in, saying, "Jianlan said that you caught a cold when you got up at night, and you took some medicine and slept for a long time. But do you want to ask a monk doctor to take your pulse? The Pei family also has a female doctor."

Lang Jiuchuan said: "You forgot that I can treat myself, and I am much better now."

Madam Cheng took a large coat from the side and put it on her. She looked at her face carefully and nodded, saying, "You look fine. Madam Shen is here and wants to see you. I came to see if you are awake."

Shen Qinghe and his family of three came. After finding out about their Zen temple, they came directly here. However, as soon as Shen Qinghe entered the temple, he was asked to leave. The reason was naturally because a murder had occurred there, and the person involved had a conflict with them.

The young lady of the Qi family died in a rather strange way. The Qi family rushed over overnight, and even sent eunuchs and several imperial guards from the palace.

The Huguo Temple is now under martial law, causing panic among the people. Fortunately, with Madam Pei here, no one dares to be rude to them. Otherwise, based on the small conflict between them and Qi Si yesterday, the Qi family would definitely take advantage of the situation.

It was even more so when Mrs. Shen came. As soon as she arrived, she came to see Lang Jiuchuan in person, and brought her only son who was not yet engaged. To outsiders, this seemed to be a bit suspicious and no one dared to look down on her.

As for Madam Shen, she kept talking to Cui, and it was unclear whether they were not getting along or not, but the conversation was just awkward. Nanny Cheng felt that if they continued talking, Cui might change her attitude, so she hurried over to ask for help.

Lang Jiuchuan was a little surprised to hear that Madam Shen had come. This was not an idle day. It was only the second day of the New Year. If she didn't go back to her parents' home, it would be time for the married ladies to return home, right?
They all came to the temple to join in the fun.

Lang Jiuchuan did not delay. He got up, dressed, washed, and ate some of the meal that Jianlan had been warming in the stove. He sent the general out to inquire about the progress of Qi Si's case, and then went to Cui's side.

Cui was indeed at a loss for words. She had never dealt with Madam Shen before, and this conversation was just an awkward one with all sorts of random talk.

What was the most embarrassing thing was that they were clearly talking about Lang Jiuchuan, but Mrs. Shen's tone and the words she used to praise her made it seem as if she was Lang Jiuchuan's mother, while she herself could not say a few good things about her.

Cui felt inexplicably complicated and a little sad. She took the jade porcelain bottle beside her and said, "She is indeed a good child. The medicine she specially prepared for me for my heart disease is more effective than before."

Madam Shen paused while drinking tea, stared at the jade porcelain bottle, and said sourly: "Madam Lang is so lucky, but you must cherish it."

So angry, why doesn't she have a daughter like this?

Cui heard the sourness in her words, felt happy, and nodded.

Just at this time, Lang Jiuchuan came. Mrs. Shen immediately stood up, straightened her collar and sleeves, looked at Madam Liao and the maid Baizhi, and seeing that they were each holding something, she nodded.

Seeing how serious she was, Cui's eyes darkened slightly.

It was not a show, she really valued the child. As expected, as soon as Lang Jiuchuan came in, Madam Shen greeted him with a smile on her face and called out, "Jiu Niang."

Lang Jiuchuan bowed to Madam Shen and said, "Madam, I wish you a happy and healthy new year."

"Hey, I wish you a happy new year, too." Madam Shen waved to Madam Liao, who handed over a brocade purse, which she took and stuffed into Lang Jiuchuan's hand: "New Year's money, good luck, peace and happiness."

Lang Jiuchuan hesitated for a moment and took it: "Thank you, ma'am."

She handed the purse to Jianlan to keep. Unexpectedly, Madam Shen took a red box from her maid and stuffed it into her hand: "New Year's gift."

"Madam, it's enough to give the New Year's money."

"It's a gift from an elder, so I dare not refuse it. Just take it. It's not worth anything, just play with it." Madam Shen looked at Lang Jiuchuan's face and nodded, "Not bad, you have grown up over the years. You look much better than the last time I saw you."

Lang Jiuchuan smiled and said, "It's the second day of the Lunar New Year, the day when married women return to their parents' home. Why would Madam come?"

Madam Shen said, "My parents' home is in Jiangnan, and I haven't been there for a few years. As for your sister from the Shen family, she is not in Wujing at the moment, so we don't have to wait for the guests to come back on the second day of the New Year. This year, our family invited guests to a banquet on the sixth day of the New Year, and you are in mourning, otherwise I would have sent you an invitation. I came here today because Old Shen heard that you were praying for an old friend in the Huguo Temple. We had nothing to do, so we came here, but we didn't expect that he would be called away. Madam, go and call the young master over."

Madam Liao nodded.

Madam Shen seemed to have just remembered Cui, and she said to Cui apologetically: "My son's life was hanging by a thread before, and fortunately Jiu Niang helped him to save his life. I asked him to come here to thank Jiu Niang, and I hope Madam doesn't mind."

Cui was not very kind to her daughter, but Mrs. Shen did not doubt her upbringing and character, and believed that she would not spread the news outside, so she told the truth.

"The elders are all here, it's okay." Cui glanced at Lang Jiuchuan, her eyes passed over the purse and box in Jianlan's hands, she lowered her head and took a sip of tea, her heart agitated.

Shen Peng walked in, wearing a royal blue robe, a jade belt around his waist, deerskin boots, his hair tied with a top-quality white jade hairpin, he had handsome features and an outstanding temperament.

He was no longer the skinny guy he was that day, and in a short period of time he had regained the demeanor of a man of his age. Perhaps it was because he had experienced a life-and-death crisis, and knew that his parents had paid a huge price for him, so his temperament had become much calmer.

When he saw Lang Jiuchuan, he did not dare to look at her face carefully. He just took two steps forward, lifted his robe, and knelt down in front of her with a plop, crawling on the ground: "Miss, I will never forget your life-saving grace, and I will accept your respect."

Cui: “!”

Lang Jiuchuan: “…”

There is no need to give such a big gift.

Lang Jiuchuan was just about to ask him to get up when he heard a commotion outside. Was it related to her?
Oh, if she doesn't look for trouble, trouble will look for her.

Mrs. Cui and Madam Shen also heard it. They looked at each other with unhappy expressions, because they both heard that voice, domineering, arrogant and sharp. Was it asking Lang Jiuchuan to go out and see it?
Lang Jiuchuan had already walked past Shen Peng and out of the door. Cui and Madam Shen hurriedly followed him, not wanting the child to suffer any harm.

Shen Peng: “…”

I am kneeling, should I stand up or not?

Occupational diseases are the pain of my life. I have cervical pain, shoulder pain, finger numbness, it's killing me~
