Chapter 75: The Doctor (Part 1)

  "Hong Ge let out a cold snort, 'Still won't admit it.' He instructed Mo Yu, 'Search for the thing and bring it out to show Grandmother.'"

  Ma Dao Po heard that they were going to search for something, and she quickly stretched out her hand to tightly cover the waist, but Mo Yu didn't care about these things and dragged Ma Dao Po up to grab.

  Madam Ma was anxious and shouted, "What are you doing?" Then she turned to Madame Wang for help, "Madame Wang, Madame Wang, please say something, can't let the second master do as he pleases."

  The lady looked gloomy and didn't say a word.

  The servant girl also came to help, pulling hard on Madam Ma's arm. Madam Ma was at a loss for what to do next, and Mo Yu finally found two packages.

  Seeing what was searched out, Ma Dao's expression changed and she said recklessly: "It was the second master who asked me to help him, that's why I came up with this idea. Normally, I wouldn't dare do such a thing... Besides, these things were given to me by the second master, how could... now..."

  Mo Yu handed the two money bags in his hand to Hong Ge, who opened them and walked to Old Lady Tao's side, handing one package to Old Lady Tao and casually throwing the other on the table. "Grandmother, look, is there something of mine inside?"

  Old Mrs. Tao looked at things with a vacant expression, and Hong Ge turned his head to say to the big wife: "Mother, look at this swindler, he didn't take less money."

  "That was all earned from selling sesame oil."

  Huang Ge raised his eyebrows and widened his eyes, "Are my jade and cufflinks also bought with fragrant oil money?"

  The old lady Tao indeed took out the jade pendant and jade ring of Hong Ge from her bag, holding the things in her hand, seeing that Ma Dao's expression flickered, she knew the truth about this matter.

  The big wife also saw through it and looked at Hong Ge, "What's going on?"

  Brother Hong said, "The day before yesterday, I saw this nun sneaking around our mansion early in the morning, occasionally chatting with the servant at the back door. Yesterday, I saw her secretly entering through the back door and talking to the servant for a long time before coming in. I think this servant is up to no good, or else why would she try to get information out of our family members? Some time ago, the doctor told us that these charlatans have done many evil things throughout history. I thought I'd test her and see if she knew any of those tricks. As a result, this nun only asked me a few questions and then gave me all these nonsensical things. At first, I didn't believe it, but this nun kept telling me that she made a living from this, so how could it be fake? If I believed her, she would give me the jade pendant as payment, and in the future, she would definitely help me."

  "I asked again, aren't you people helping to keep others safe? The nun said, 'There is no disaster in front of us, where can we find safety.'"

  "Second Master, Second Master, when did I ever say such a thing? You can't harm me like this..."

  Hong Ge didn't care about Ma Dao Po's nonsense, "Today this nun has indeed brought me something," Hong Ge said, turning his head to ask Tao Lao Tai Tai, "Grandmother, do you think this nun is here to do evil in our home?"

  Madam Ma hastily explained, "I was just concerned about the household... that's why I came to ask. The things Second Master said, I really didn't say them."

  Hong Ge sneered, "You didn't say that before, did I just make it up? How would I understand these things? Besides, what are you doing here in our mansion? Didn't you say that with just one calculation, you'd know everything?"

  Hong said, turning his head to look at Old Lady Tao, "Grandmother, what did the nun ask? Just call in the woman from the back door and we'll be clear about everything."

  Ma Dao's face turned even uglier.

  Old Mrs. Tao looked at the mysterious appearance of Ma Dao's wife and said, "These three aunts and six grannies' words are originally not to be believed easily. They mouthed Buddha's teachings, but actually they were deceiving people for money. They did all sorts of evil things, yet they didn't suffer any retribution. And what's more, they claimed that finger counting could predict good or bad luck, which was also a deception."

  Ronghua looked at the madam, and the madam's face turned pale with a mixture of blue and white.

  The old lady Tao handed the jade pendant to Rui Qing, her voice stern, "Since this has happened, we must ask her what she's thinking, especially about those harmful things, whether they've been used in our mansion too."

  Ma Dao Po was so frightened by these words that she immediately fell to the ground, "Old lady, I'm a nun, how dare I do such things? It's all because... it's all because..." With both human and material evidence present, she had no way to refute at the moment. "Besides, those things can't harm people's lives, they are..."

  "Brother Hong pressed on step by step, 'So you're admitting that you cheated people out of their money?'"

  The lady had believed in Ma Dao's words earlier, but now that Ma Dao has been exposed, her face is as if she had been slapped. She is both angry and ashamed, "Still stubborn to this day, I think it's better to take the harmful things and bind them to be sent to the government office."

  Nan Dao Po looked at Yao Hua beside her in a flurry, only to see Yao Hua lowering her eyes and ignoring her. She could only beg bitterly, "Old lady, madam, considering I've worked for the manor for so many years, please spare me this once."

  Ronghua took a glance at Hongge, and upon seeing that things had gone as planned, a hint of pride appeared on his immature face.

  Rong Hua smiled slightly, and these tricks were exposed. Ma Dao Po was no longer as arrogant as before. The person who used Ma Dao Po to harm others didn't know how to clear himself again.

  Rong Hua looked on coldly as Ma Dao Po indeed begged and pleaded while moving closer to Yao Hua.

  Yao Hua drew back her foot, but Ma Dao Po still stretched out five fingers to grab Yao Hua's embroidered shoe. She opened her big mouth and begged: "Second Miss, you are the kindest, please come and plead for me!" Yao Hua wanted to withdraw her leg, but she couldn't get rid of Ma Dao Po. Her face showed a layer of anxiety, losing her usual elegant and calm demeanor. Her eyes were misty, and her small mouth opened, I saw her like this, and didn't know what to say.

  The old lady Tao was about to let someone pull away the sedan chair when she waved her hand and smelled a familiar fragrance from her nose. She reached into her sleeve and found that she wasn't wearing a sachet, so she brought the object in her hand to her nose and sniffed it again, confirming that the smell came from the wallet that Hongge had thrown on the table.

  Old Lady Tao's mind flashed, and she went to look at Ma Dao Po and Yao Hua again. Ma Dao Po raised her head and followed Yao Hua's gaze, while Yao Hua avoided it. Was there something...

  The old lady Tao slapped her palm on the table, turned her head to look at Rui Qing and said: "Go call someone to tie her up, I want to ask her carefully later. Also, lock up those women at the back door together, see who is communicating with this nun."

  Upon hearing this, Yao Hua hastily lifted her head and glanced at Old Lady Tao.

  Ma Dao's wife was taken away in chains.

  Old Lady Tao complained to Eldest Madam: "Some things can't be believed casually, especially these gossipy women, they shouldn't be allowed into the mansion all the time."

  The lady was speechless for a long time before saying: "I also don't believe in these people, except for Shu Hua..."

  Mrs. Tao said, "I know you're worried about Shu Hua's affair and your mind is all over the place. Fortunately, thanks to our brother Hong, things are under control." She smiled and pulled Brother Hong over, saying, "Our Brother Hong has grown up and can handle some things now, all thanks to his mother's good teachings."

  When the old lady praised herself, the middle-aged woman finally had some face and stiffly smiled, "Hóng Gē has grown up..."

  The old lady handed the purse to Hong Ge and said, "Come on, take back all your treasures."

  Hong Ge looked at the money bag, inside was the loose silver he gave to Ma Dao Po. Hong Ge took this bag in his hand and returned another package to Old Lady Tao, "This is not mine."

  That's the sachet with a fragrant powder smell. Old Lady Tao smiled and took it over.

  After a while, Mrs. Tao got tired and let everyone go back on their own.

  Ronghua returned to the house, lay down on the soft couch to rest, and fell asleep for a while. Mu Jin came back from outside.

  "Ah, it's Auntie Zheng from the back door," Mu Ge said quietly. "She was called over by Old Lady and got spanked."

  Ronghua nodded, and she let Hongge stare at Ma Dao's wife, unexpectedly getting a big gain.

  What Hong said, although it was all taught by her. Today he said it out, but it's not much different from the truth, plus that paper man is indeed given by Ma Dao Po, there is truth and falsehood in this, making it difficult for people to distinguish.

  These are just superficial things, and who knows what unexpected gains there may be.

  Ma Dao's wife persuaded the lady of the house to build a Buddhist temple in the mansion. She couldn't possibly accept no payment at all, could she?

  By afternoon, there was new news.

  Mu Gui said: "Many people in the mansion saw that the nun was thrown out of the mansion after being beaten."

  Is it just that simple?

  Mu Gui said: "This nun almost harmed our young lady, and just hitting her a few times was letting her off too easily."

  Rong Hua smiled slightly, "Didn't you harm me?" What can't be done? Investigate that person? In the end, it's not the nun who will lose face, but the Tao family itself.

  As long as someone has a number in mind, it's okay. Sooner or later, all these accounts will be settled together.

  Ronghua and Mugun were talking in the house, Jinxiu came in and walked to Ronghua's side, "Big brother-in-law has come to see big sister, now he is talking with big madam in the house."

  Zhao Xuan Huan came today? What a coincidence.

  Jinxiu said: "I heard that Big Uncle didn't even attend the Liao family's banquet, I suppose he was worried about Miss's illness."

  Madam Cai is afraid that the Tao family will blame her! Eldest sister has contracted such a serious illness, yet Zhao Xuanhuang still hasn't come to visit.

  After dinner, Ronghua returned to her room and went to bed early.

  She had just fallen asleep for a while, when she heard the little maids talking in the courtyard outside. Jinxiu, who was doing needlework in the outer room, put down what she was holding and threw on her clothes to go out and see.

  Those two maids saw Jinxiu come out and quickly stopped talking, bowed to Jinxiu and were about to leave.

  Jinxiu stopped them and asked, "What were you just saying? Is there something going on in the mansion?"

  Two little maidservants came into the house.

  One of them, slightly bolder, spoke up first: "It's nothing, really. Earlier, someone saw a fire in the courtyard of the fifth young lady and called a few people to go take a look," he said, his voice dropping even lower, "but unexpectedly, they saw the eldest brother-in-law and second young lady."

  I'm exhausted to death.

  Took a day's car ride. Met **, was checked ID twice in between.

  It was nine o'clock in the evening when I finally got home, and it also made my kid exhausted.

  Hurry up and start typing.

  Luckily there were some drafts left...

  Hurry up and wash, then go to sleep
