The Ninth Lady is a rebellious person.

Chapter 408 I Will Activate Your Spirit

On the first day of the fourth lunar month, the second branch of the Lang family adopted Lang Caicheng as their heir, making his child the eldest grandson of the second branch and, in terms of generation, the eldest direct grandson of the next generation of the Lang family. The generation name of the Lang family is Cheng. When he was born, the sun shone brightly, so Lang Jiuchuan named him Hui, which means to carry light and hope. He was also given the nickname Yuan Ge'er.

Within the Lang family, some were happy while others were jealous. They were jealous that Lang Caicheng had become the heir of the second wife, and that his children had also become more privileged. But no one dared to say anything because of Yuan Ge'er.

Lang Jiuchuan valued this child highly, and even the old lady was very fond of him. Perhaps it was because the child's eyes were very similar to theirs, and also resembled the deceased Lang Zhengfan.

Some people see it more clearly: Lang Caicheng and his wife gained their status because of their son.

Because of her frail health and illness, Cui Shi did not dare to get close to the newborn, fearing that she would catch his illness. She only glanced at him from afar during the baby's third-day bath without saying a word. After returning home, she had Granny Cheng send over a lot of things.

Lang Caicheng and his wife, holding their child adorned with gold, silver, and jade pendants, looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Yunniang, why do I feel like the child is more precious than me?" Lang Caicheng said sullenly.

Pan said, "It's not a feeling, it's a fact."

Holding the child, she looked at his face with pity and sighed, "Brother Yuan is more blessed than you and me."

If Cui had only wanted to adopt the child, the father would probably have agreed. But that would have meant the tragic separation of mother and child. However, Cui did not do that. She adopted Lang Caicheng, and the child was born. The whole family was together, and they even benefited greatly.

Madam Pan pursed her lips and said, "The adoption is a great stroke of luck for us. We must take good care of Mother from now on. We also need to support Ninth Sister. Without her, the birth of this child would not have been so smooth."

"Maybe she doesn't even care. To be honest, I'm afraid of Ninth Sister. Just one look from her and I panic," Lang Caicheng muttered.

“Who can argue with that? I’m afraid of her too. But since she’s already been adopted, we have to shoulder our responsibilities.” Madam Pan sighed, “One should be grateful.”

"That's a must." Lang Caicheng grinned. "Now that I'm a father, I'll study hard at the Imperial Academy and try to pass the imperial examinations so I can earn you an official title."

Pan nodded, looking completely satisfied.

"Fourth Young Mistress, Ninth Miss has arrived," reported Haitang, Pan's head maid, from behind the screen.

"Please."

Lang Caicheng immediately stood up, took a few steps, and saw Lang Jiuchuan walk in. He crossed his hands and called out, "Ninth Sister."

Lang Jiuchuan nodded, went to Pan's bedside, and looked at the child with tender eyes.

Madam Pan was quite perceptive and said with a smile, "This child is quite heavy. I'm getting tired of holding him. Ninth Sister, could you help me hold him?"

"Alright." Lang Jiuchuan reached out and held the swaddled baby in his arms. He sat on the stool next to him and looked at the little bundle of flesh that was gradually turning from red to white. His eyes softened into a pool of water.

She carried a bone bell, and her aura was purer and more vibrant than anyone else's. The little guy, who was sleeping, suddenly opened his eyes. Although he couldn't see clearly, it didn't stop him from approaching the comforting and peaceful spiritual energy.

Jiang Che suddenly appeared out of nowhere and jumped onto Lang Jiuchuan's shoulder, startling Pan Shi so much that she screamed and turned pale. She leaned towards the swaddling clothes in a protective posture.

Lang Jiuchuan quickly reassured him, "It's my spirit pet, don't be afraid."

"Is this a cat?" After hearing the explanation, Pan relaxed but was still nervous, afraid that it would go berserk and slash her with its claws.

"Let's just say it is." Lang Jiuchuan also wanted Jiang Che to keep a low profile and not reveal his true form to avoid trouble. Jiang Che snorted and didn't bother arguing with the women in the inner quarters. He communicated with Lang Jiuchuan using his spiritual sense and said, "This kid certainly knows how to eat well. He goes wherever there is plenty of spiritual energy."

“A newborn child’s senses are the most clear and pure, so he will naturally sense some different auras.” Lang Jiuchuan carefully examined the child’s face. With a thought, he made a hand seal with his fingertips, and the Daoist rhyme flowed from his fingertips. He drew a talisman on the child’s spiritual platform and murmured, “I ignite your spirit, wishing you to be free from illness and disaster, and to be intelligent and successful.”

As soon as the talisman was cast, golden light, invisible to ordinary people, entered his spiritual realm.

It will taste sour.

To have her personally consecrate the spirit is truly a blessing beyond measure, a sign that one has found their destiny with her.

This trick worked; the child actually grinned at her and fell asleep with a smile on his face.

Lang Jiuchuan then placed the child on the bed, took out a jade talisman that he had carved in the past two days, which was not much larger than a copper coin, tied it with a red string, and put it on the child's head. He said to Madam Pan, "This talisman can ward off disasters and evil spirits. Don't lose it."

Having already heard Lang Jiuchuan's words, Madam Pan quickly said, "On behalf of Yuan-ge'er, I thank you for your kindness, Aunt."

aunt……

Lang Jiuchuan smiled, gently touched his head, and said, "Although he was born a few days early, he is not entirely premature and is in good health. There is no need to worry too much. Just feed him normally and don't raise him too meticulously. When he is a month old, take him out to see the sun more often so that he can absorb the five elements of heaven and earth."

"Hey."

Lang Jiuchuan then asked her to extend her hand, took her pulse, and said, "You are still young. Now that you have given birth to Yuan Ge'er, there is no need to rush to have another child. It is fine to wait another two or three years. Having children too frequently is not good for the mother's health. I will write you a prescription to regulate and nourish your body. I will give it to your maid in a while. Just eat this every day."

Madam Pan was extremely grateful and said, "Then thank you very much for your trouble, sister."

Lang Jiuchuan then got up, glanced at the child one last time, and left.

Madam Pan let out a long sigh of relief, looked at her sleeping son, her eyes filled with joy, and reached out a finger to tap her son's face: "My son, you are truly blessed."

When Lang Jiuchuan arrived at Cui's courtyard, he saw her leaning against the bed in a daze. He stepped forward and said, "I've been away from home for the past few days because of some matters. Please take good care of yourself. Lang Caicheng and his wife are kind and honest people and will be filial to you. Yuan'er is well-behaved and adorable. Raising him well and enjoying the company of your grandson would be a great pleasure."

Cui's breath hitched: "You're leaving?"

Is this the end of the karmic entanglement with Lang Zhengfan, and now it's time to leave the Lang family?
"I need to leave for a while."

"still coming back?"

Lang Jiuchuan looked up and met her gaze. Cui Shi looked away somewhat awkwardly, lowered her head, and said bitterly, "Fine, do as you please."

"Take good care of yourself." Lang Jiuchuan bowed to her and left.

As Cui watched her disappearing figure, her vision blurred. She subconsciously reached for the jade talisman stuck to her chest, as if she needed to grasp something to feel at ease.

Lang Jiuchuan also spoke with Lang Zhengping for a while before leaving the mansion. Jiang Che asked excitedly, "Are we going to ambush that Young Master Rong?"

"No, let's go check out that haunted Ren family mansion first." Lang Jiuchuan walked through alley after alley and soon arrived at the side gate of the Ren family mansion, but she unexpectedly ran into someone.

What is Grandpa Cui doing here?
