The Ninth Lady is a rebellious person.

Chapter 308 Don't Offend the Feng Shui Master

Sometimes, the more a person does, the more obvious their flaws become. Tang Bohong's actions of protecting his brother only aroused suspicion. As for Madam Zheng, Lang Jiuchuan had already told her that Tang Bohong was two-faced. Therefore, looking at him like this, she became even more certain that the person in front of her was a venomous snake hiding in the shadows, waiting to bite.

Although Madam Bo was unaware of this, she had frequented the inner quarters of various powerful families and came from a prominent family herself. She had heard of the underworld and all that Tang Bohong had ever done. No matter how honest and kind Tang Bohong was, or how respectful he was to her, it couldn't change the fact that he wasn't her biological son.

Therefore, her gaze towards Tang Bohong became somewhat indifferent.

At that time, Cheng Lebo, who had received the news, also rushed over. After listening to his wife explain the situation in just a few words, he subconsciously looked at his eldest son and frowned.

Tang Bohong's heart sank straight down as if a stone had been dropped on it.

They suspect him!

Cheng Lebo ordered someone to take Li the crippled to guard him, and also ordered someone to quickly fetch a doctor. As for Tang Bohong, he said, "Boss, you go and guard Li the crippled yourself. Make sure nothing happens to him, not even a little bit."

The tone clearly carried a warning.

Tang Bohong gave a wry smile, looking pitiful, and said, "Father, I understand."

Seeing him like this, Cheng Lebo didn't know what to feel, but the most important thing was his second son's leg, so he couldn't care less about his feelings at this moment.

Seeing that there was no place for him there, Tang Bohong stepped back. Before leaving, he glanced at Lang Jiuchuan. Although it was only for a moment, his eyes seemed to be filled with poison.

Lang Jiuchuan chuckled in exasperation, glancing back calmly. His aura surged, and the dark glint in his eyes pressed down on him, intimidating and threatening.

I've offended you whether I wanted to or not, do you think I'm afraid of you?

Tang Bohong's eyes narrowed, and a chill crept up from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

This woman looks so frail, yet her aura is so powerful. Who exactly is she? Little Celestial Master, could she be a member of the Xuan Clan? How could my sister-in-law associate with someone like her?

Oh no, could it be that they've discovered something wrong with the feng shui of Luoying Courtyard?

Upon realizing this, Tang Bohong's face turned completely black, his breathing became unsteady, and he hurriedly left.

Lang Jiuchuan chuckled, and without her having to do anything, the man's true colors were revealed.

While waiting for the new traditional Chinese medicine doctor to arrive, Cheng Lebo and his wife kept asking about Lang Jiuchuan's identity. Tang Bobin couldn't help but faint from the pain again. Xiao Zhengshi didn't intend to hide it, but she asked Lang Jiuchuan to wake Tang Bobin up again so they could listen together.

As for whether Tang Bobin was in excruciating pain, well, he deserved it!
Once Tang Bobin regained consciousness, Madam Zheng recounted Lang Jiuchuan's origins and everything that had happened since she entered the manor. Surprisingly, despite her serious illness, she showed no signs of fatigue after speaking so much; on the contrary, she was quite excited. "That's how it is," she said. "I didn't believe it at first, but now I have no choice. The decorations for the courtyard at the wedding should have been arranged by you, Mother, how could they be... those willow trees didn't grow this tall in just three years, they're already providing shade. Most importantly, that incense burner he brought back—it's a burial item for the dead! Someone wants me dead!"

Cheng Lebo and the others all looked at Tang Bobin.

Tang Bobin was completely stunned and said, "I've been living in this courtyard since we got married. The willow tree by the pond was planted at my brother's suggestion, as was the old pear tree. Shishi, you like pear blossoms and pears, so I transplanted it after my brother suggested it. The incense burner was bought at Shifang Pavilion, but it was my sister-in-law who suggested it. She said that if you want to worship Guanyin, you should get a better incense burner, so I went there."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Lebo and the others looked grim, especially Cheng Lebo. His daughter-in-law was virtuous, and his eldest son was honest and kind. They had always been friendly and respectful to each other, which was something he was quite proud of. After all, there had never been any infighting among the brothers in their family. But now, they had been thoroughly humiliated.

He glanced at Lang Jiuchuan, who had exposed the ugliness but remained calm and collected, and said dryly, "Is this Feng Fruit really that miraculous? Could there be a mistake?"

Lady Bo's face darkened. Was this some kind of attempt to protect the eldest son and his wife? She wouldn't allow it. This matter had to be decided by the Dowager Princess. Hadn't she heard what this little master said? Living here for a long time meant one death and one injury. Now, most of the prophecies had already come true; only death was left.

Lang Jiuchuan looked at Cheng Lebo with a half-smile and said, "Is feng shui really that mysterious? Just think about your own ancestral graves. What would happen if someone disturbed the feng shui of them? You'd better not offend a feng shui master, otherwise, a feng shui master can kill someone invisibly with just a little arrangement."

Cheng Lebo's face darkened. He was bound to be in big trouble. Whose ancestral graves weren't chosen by a geomancer to find the auspicious burial site? If someone disturbed them, how could they possibly bless their descendants?

As for offending a feng shui master, who would be so stubborn? Don't look at other examples, just take the Xuan clan for instance, who would dare to offend them?

At this moment, Madam Zheng said, "My health is not good. Now that things have come to this, since Second Master has found a confidante, why not say it in front of Father and Mother? I will personally welcome her into the house to add fragrance to Second Master's life." Madam Zheng looked at Tang Bobin with sarcasm and said, "If what she wants is the position of Second Young Mistress, then if Second Master gives me the divorce papers, I will immediately move my dowry and leave the mansion, abdicating and making way for a worthy successor."

She's a member of the Zheng family, and she won't do anything underhanded. If she doesn't expose Tang Bobin's true colors this time, she's not a member of the Zheng family.

Upon hearing this, Tang Bobin disregarded his pain and looked first at his parents, then at Lang Jiuchuan, saying, "No, no way!"

"You're still talking nonsense." Cheng Lebo slammed his hand on the small table, making the teacups on it tremble a few times. He said, "Your servant said that you were flirting with the illegitimate daughter of the Marquis of Changping at the poetry gathering, and you even had a secret rendezvous in the lakeside pavilion. When someone came, she panicked and pushed you, throwing you out and breaking your leg."

Madam Zheng's face darkened, and she stared at Tang Bobin so intently she almost poked a hole in him.

Tang Bobin was stunned. He couldn't believe that his own father would not help him repair the damage and would instead expose all his secrets in front of his wife. Was this really his father?
Seeing the piercing look in his wife's eyes, Tang Bobin had a sudden inspiration and said, "I was just commenting on a couple of lines of poetry for her, I didn't do anything. Oh my leg, my mother, my leg is going to break!"

Although Madam Bo was heartbroken, seeing her daughter-in-law's expression, she knew she was in the wrong and said, "Second son's wife, why don't we wait until he gets his leg back on track? Don't worry, your father-in-law and I are definitely on your side. No matter what kind of slut she is, she won't get on your head without our approval. There's no need to rush about having children. You can have them after you've fully recovered. You're still young, only been married for three years, there's no rush."

Cheng Lebo also frowned and said, "That's right, if you have no children by forty, you can take a concubine. I'll have the Dowager Princess vouch for you!" He wondered if this outcome would satisfy his in-laws, since it involved family secrets.

Upon hearing this, Tang Bobin's frivolous thoughts were instantly extinguished.

He's finished!
