A little devil has arrived at the Marquis's mansion, and all the powerful officials in the cour

News of Aunt Xu's arrest and return to the Dali Temple quickly reached the Zou family.

Renbao jumped up and down excitedly, exclaiming, "My daddy is so amazing!"

A look of delight flashed in Zou Linhe's eyes: "As expected of Lord Su."

"Young Master, Madam has woken up." A maid came and helped him up. "She's calling for you."

Zou Linhe looked at Renbao expectantly: "Little Celestial Master, the smell of medicine on me is too strong. Is there any fragrance that can cover it up?"

"You're afraid your mother will worry," Renbao said.

Zou Linhe nodded: "The young celestial master is intelligent."

Renbao took out a porcelain bottle, sprinkled some on his bandaged wound, and gave him a dark-colored Jiuzhi pill: "Eat this, and you won't feel any pain anymore, and you won't smell like medicine on your body."

There are such wonderful medicines in the world!

Zou Linhe took the medicine without hesitation, got up and took a few steps, his eyes flashing with surprise.

Eh?

It really didn't hurt anymore; he felt like he could run a few laps in the courtyard.

"Little Celestial Master, you are truly amazing!" Zou Linhe praised sincerely, secretly admiring Su Xuance.

He also wanted a beautiful and intelligent daughter.

Renbao smiled slightly, patted his little chest, and said in a childish voice, "So-so, second best in the world."

Zou Linhe followed her to Zhong's bedroom and, upon hearing this, couldn't help but tease her: "Then, according to the Little Celestial Master, who is number one?"

Renbao replied without hesitation, "It's my uncle, the Emperor. I'm the boss in the underworld."

Zou Linhe was startled and nervously looked around. He had no official position and dared not discuss the emperor behind his back.

"Why the underworld?" he asked curiously.

Renbao beckoned to him, signaling him to bow his head.

Zou Linhe did as instructed.

Renbao's big, dark eyes were incredibly bright. She leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Because I'm the Little King of Hell! When you die, you'll be able to see me in the underworld!"

Zou Linhe: ………

He was utterly shocked.

Renbao looked very serious.

One spoke with great sincerity, while the other listened with a sense of existential unease.

"You don't believe me?" Renbao raised her little eyebrows and said in a childish voice, "Then I'll take you to the underworld for a trip and then come back."

Zou Linhe quickly replied, "I believe you."

Renbao then walked forward with her hands behind her back, satisfied. She pointed to the water vat in the courtyard: "There's a dead poisonous snake buried at the bottom of the vat."

Zou Linhe was shocked and hadn't even had a chance to speak.

Renbao then pointed to the osmanthus tree: "There's a dead toad buried under the tree, it stinks!"

She twitched her nose, and a hint of disgust appeared on her little face.

Zou Linhe immediately looked at the guards in the mansion: "Dig!"

Fifteen minutes later.

Dead venomous snakes and toads, reeking of decay, were dug out.

Zou Linhe stared at the inanimate object with a gloomy expression. He wasn't stupid; it was obvious that someone was targeting the Zou family.

"Who! Who did this!" Zou Yongming rushed over and roared angrily.

Zou Linhe glanced at him: "Why are you shouting so loudly? Don't scare the little Taoist master."

Zou Yongming immediately covered his mouth, bent down, and said softly to Renbao in a high-pitched voice, "Little Celestial Master, I'm sorry, I'm a little angry."

Renbao waved his hand very generously: "It's okay."

"Little Celestial Master, will burying this inanimate object in the courtyard have any impact on us?" Zou Linhe asked.

Renbao's long, curled eyelashes fluttered, and she said in a childish voice, "Of course! When snakes and toads are alive, they can protect the house. When they die, they gather resentment, disturb people's minds, and make already weak people even weaker and confused."

Zou Yongming and Zou Linhe looked at each other, and the color drained from Zou Yongming's face.

"Could the young Taoist master possibly have figured out who's behind this?" Zou Yongming asked eagerly. Remembering Renbao's rules, he added, "I'll give them silver."

Renbao hummed in agreement, then, after a quick calculation, she glanced at Zou Yongming.

"Little Celestial Master, you say so, I can bear it." A strange unease rose in Zou Yongming's heart, and he had been struggling with this for several days.

"Still your concubine," Renbao said, pointing her little finger at Zou Linhe, "It's aimed at my brother."

Zou Linhe glanced at Zou Yongming and said sarcastically, "Father, you really have a discerning eye; you've brought back a poisonous woman."

Zou Yongming wiped away a cold sweat, feeling guilty and trying to appease him, saying, "Your father was wrong."

He spent several hundred taels of silver to buy various Taoist talismans from Renbao, sent the poisonous snake and toad out of the mansion, and buried them in a piece of land.

"Auntie," Renbao called sweetly as she entered Zhong's room, "Is your head feeling better now?"

Having learned the whole story from the maid, Madam Zhong saw Renbao wearing a black ruqun with gold trim. Her eyes were filled with gratitude and a hint of affection: "I'm not dizzy anymore. Thank you so much for saving my life, Little Celestial Master."

"You're welcome, I've already taken the money." Renbao touched his bulging pocket and couldn't help but grin.

Hehe, she has lots of money again!

Madam Zhong's heart softened at the sight, and she beckoned to Renbao.

"Auntie." Renbao ran up to her, tilted his little face up, and said earnestly, "Don't think too much, okay? Thinking too much will make you depressed and sick."

Zhong nodded emphatically: "I understand."

Since she fell ill, Zou Linhe has been searching for a miracle doctor among the common people, and he has stopped going to the academy, spending all his days by her side.

She didn't have a good husband.

But she has a good son.

She had figured it out: if she lived well and secured her position as the Duchess of the County, her son could be the heir apparent for life.

"Good aunties get candy." Renbao magically produced a candy and handed it to Mrs. Zhong.

Tears welled up in Zhong's eyes instantly. She took the food and put it in her mouth, saying, "It's so sweet."

"Why is Auntie crying?" Renbao blinked her big eyes.

Madam Zhong slipped the gold bracelet from her hand into Renbao's hand and said with a smile, "Auntie was so touched by the little celestial master that she couldn't help but cry. This is Auntie's heartfelt sentiment."

She genuinely loved Renbao.

She had a cold constitution and had not been able to conceive since giving birth to Zou Linhe.

The concubine's daughters in the household respected her, but were not close to her.

Renbao was the woman of his dreams.

"Auntie, remember to take your medicine on time. The incense is gone, and you'll get better soon." Renbao touched the gold bracelet, stuffed it into his pocket, and smiled shyly, "Auntie knows I love gold?"

Mrs. Zhong laughed and said, "Everyone loves gold."

Renbao laughed even harder and exclaimed, "Renbao loves gold the most!"

"Young Miss, it's time to return to the manor," Tao Xiang reminded her as the sky gradually darkened.

Renbao nodded and waved to Mrs. Zhong: "Auntie, I want to go home now."

Mrs. Zhong smiled and said, "Okay."

As soon as Renbao left, she told her maid, "Go to Jinggefang and order two sets of jewelry suitable for a three-year-old child. Also, select a few exquisite gold crafts and send them to the Su residence for the little celestial master."

"Yes." The maid nodded and immediately left the mansion to carry out her duties.

Zou Yongming entered the room, his face full of guilt: "I'm so sorry, I let that poisonous woman Xu ruin you."

Madam Zhong smiled faintly: "My husband was also deceived by her appearance, I don't blame you."

Zou Yongming was surprised that she didn't make a fuss after waking up. He felt that something was wrong, but he also breathed a sigh of relief.

Just don't take it to heart.

Zou Linhe stood at the door without going in. He could see clearly that his mother no longer cared about his father.

That's fine too; it's best if men are fickle and don't care.

.

Renbao's carriage had just stopped.

A figure rushed forward.

Momoko's alarm blared, and she drew her sword, aiming it straight at the other person's throat.
