The Ninth Lady is a rebellious person.

Chapter 300 Lang Jiu's Face Reading
Lang Jiuchuan didn't know whether the Xue family had sent anyone, but the reason why Granny Wang was able to come was because of Ding Mangu. Her status was quite respectable, so although she was a servant, her husband, Wang Xi, managed a rice shop for his master. Wang Xi was also familiar with Ding Mangu, who was in the rice business, and knew a little about his family. This time, when his master encountered some trouble and wanted to find someone to help him find a way out, he asked Ding Mangu, who then recommended this Wanshi Shop.

Unexpectedly, this person was someone she had seen before; she was Langjia Jiu Niang, who had helped Master Xue and his grandson avert a major disaster.

"After learning about my young mistress's accident, Madam Xue came to visit and said she wanted to invite you to the manor. She also learned from Ding Dong's family that the Wan Shi Shop in Xunxiang Alley is a place that can solve all problems, so she came to try and invite you. I didn't expect it to be you. What a coincidence!" Wang Mama said with a smile. "But you are so perceptive, you saw at a glance that I came for my young mistress?"

Although she said that, her tone was somewhat teasing, carrying a hint of probing and disdain.

"A dark bluish-black tinge has appeared on the right side of your chin, like a dark cloud covering the area, making it gloomy and dull. Furthermore, your skin has sunken by three-tenths of an inch, forming a vertical line, which has damaged the palace position and is unfavorable to the master of the household." Lang Jiuchuan pointed at her face and said calmly, "Left is male, right is female. You also said that you are the wet nurse of the young mistress of the Cheng Le Earl's Mansion. Now that your chin is dark, it is obviously because of her."

Granny Wang was startled and her contemptuous expression vanished. She subconsciously took out a small mirror and looked at her face. Following Lang Jiuchuan's words, she saw that there was indeed a deep vertical line there, which she had not noticed before.

She then looked at Lang Jiuchuan. At first glance, she was somewhat apprehensive and dismissive of Lang Jiuchuan because of her young age and frail appearance. Could she possibly handle her master's affairs?

But after Lang Jiuchuan said that, she realized she might have misjudged him.

Moreover, there must be something else behind her words, right?

Granny Wang was a little nervous and said, "From what you're saying, young lady, are you saying that I'm bringing bad luck to my master?"

Lang Jiuchuan shook his head and said, "The changes in the servant palace are not entirely due to servants overpowering their masters; sometimes masters overpower servants as well. You are her wet nurse. If she has been tainted by evil spirits, and you spend all your time with her, you will also be affected by her aura. In fact, you have already been affected. I see some yin energy on you. I imagine you have been quite restless lately, often having nightmares, waking up in a cold sweat, and with a rapid heartbeat."

Granny Wang felt a chill run down her spine and quickly nodded, "You're absolutely right. These days, I've been feeling restless and anxious, often waking up from nightmares, and I feel cold all over. Are you saying I've been tainted by evil spirits?"

Her eyes showed a hint of fear. Could it be that her master had really been possessed by an evil spirit?
But how could that be? She worships gods and Buddhas all day long with the utmost sincerity, how could she be possessed by evil spirits?

“There is some evil spirit here. If it is not removed, it will cause chronic illness over time.” Lang Jiuchuan said, “But it’s not too serious. You can go to the temple to ask for a peace talisman and wear some ashes from the Buddha’s temple. Besides, there’s your servant’s palace.”

She looked at the hanging needle pattern and said, "Although this pattern is deep, it only appeared recently, which shows that it is unfavorable for the master. I advise you not to serve him in the near future."

"how do I say this?"

Lang Jiuchuan said, “Your servant’s palace has a hanging needle, which is sunken like an overturned boat. Moreover, there is a blue vein running across your left side. If other fortune tellers were to read your face, they would be prejudiced and say that your life gate has a hidden sign of punishment and is a pattern of servants disobeying their masters. Do you think your wet nurse can still work by her side?”

Granny Wang's face turned pale: "Didn't you say it wasn't me who brought bad luck, but my master..."

"Others might not say that. They might try to please your master by pointing out your faults first. If your master hears that, how can you expect to be well off?" Lang Jiuchuan said calmly. "You're usually quite kind, so I'm only giving you a few extra words out of consideration for that." This servant carries a bit of merit light and is a kind-hearted person, which is why she's offering such kind words. Whether she listens or not is up to her.

Granny Wang quickly stood up and bowed to her, saying, "Thank you for your kind words, young lady."

Lang Jiuchuan is right. If it were any other Taoist priest, they might not have said it like she did. Instead, they would have said that she was a jinx to her master, and that in the end, she and her whole family would be abandoned.

A servant who betrays his master is useless no matter where he is placed.

At this point, Granny Wang was completely convinced of Lang Jiuchuan's abilities and said, "Miss, you are very kind. I know what to do. However, I would like to ask you to make a trip to my master's house."

Lang Jiuchuan asked, "Is she suffering from a chronic illness?"

There is a red thread running through the bridge of Wang Mama's nose and between her scalp and servants' quarters. This is also called the Yin Zhi line, which means that the head of the household will be plagued by chronic illnesses and that disaster will befall the family. At best, it will be a long-term illness that will not be cured, and at worst, it will lead to death.

The presence of malevolent energy on her suggests that the young mistress has been affected by evil spirits and is already suffering the consequences. After all, it can even affect the servants around her, which shows how troubled she is.

Granny Wang's eyes reddened, and she nodded, saying, "My young lady can no longer get out of bed. She is an extremely good person and very kind. In fact, if I really bring her bad luck, I don't mind leaving. I just hope that my young lady can get better."

Lang Jiuchuan recalled that the eldest mistress of the Xue family's maternal family seemed to be surnamed Zheng, and also came from a scholarly family. However, this young Zheng had married into a noble family.

Granny Wang had already mentioned the strange things about Madam Zheng. She had been married into the Chengle Earl's Mansion for three years, but had not yet conceived. Originally, they thought she was too young to be in a hurry, but a year or two would have been fine, but three years without a child would certainly cause the Earl's Mansion to have objections.

So Ms. Zheng actively tried to improve her health, and she also did good deeds, burned incense and prayed to Buddha for a child. However, she still couldn't conceive, and instead, she became depressed and unable to be happy. She also became thinner.

In the latter half of last year, she caught a cold, which flared up intermittently. Imperial physicians and renowned doctors from the common people came to examine her and prescribe medicines. Countless prescriptions were changed, but she still couldn't get better. She spent the Lunar New Year in bed resting, and after the New Year, she couldn't even get out of bed.

Granny Wang said indignantly, "My young lady is so sick she can't get out of bed, and some people are still making sarcastic remarks, saying that she got sick from praying for a child, and that she's a hen that doesn't lay eggs and should have been moved out long ago. Bah, they're all petty people!"

She looked at Lang Jiuchuan and said, "Originally, Miss thought it was just a cold, but for the past half month, she said she kept dreaming that someone wanted to kill her, that she had taken her things, and that the person was very ferocious. Then there was a Bodhisattva rebuking her for being disrespectful, all sorts of nonsense. That's when we realized something was wrong, wondering if she had been possessed by an evil spirit. Just then, Madam Xue came to visit and, upon hearing about this, mentioned you. My husband and I also learned about the existence of Wanshi Shop from Ding Mangu, so we asked our master for permission and came to ask for help."

Granny Wang rose and knelt before Lang Jiuchuan, saying, "If you can relieve my master's worries, I am willing to reward you with a thousand gold pieces and use your name to provide porridge and build bridges."
