On her wedding night, she went into exile with her pharmacy arsenal

Chapter 1740 A guilty conscience gives rise to ghosts

In the Qiu family cemetery.

When the body was buried, an evil wind blew up, blowing paper money all over the ground and into the sky.

The onlookers were afraid but also wanted to see, so they all watched from a distance.

Mr. and Mrs. Qiu were even more frightened. They didn't care about anything else and quickly buried the body without going through any other procedures. They just buried it in a mess and that was it.

The Qiu family returned home, and the people dispersed. Yinding also took a few people and followed to the vicinity of the Qiu family, observing secretly.

Feng Shao whispered, "Brother Tuotuo, I'll just stay and watch over it, you guys go and do other things."

"No hurry," Yinding said, "Beibei is still busy, we won't need them until the evening."

"Didn't the princess tell us to keep an eye on Master Qiu to see if he would take any action?"

Feng Shao smiled disdainfully: "He still has something to do? What we did today must have scared him half to death."

Zhao Yan nodded: "I think so, his face turned green."

Several people looked at each other and smiled.

Inside the Qiu Mansion.

Mrs. Qiu returned to the courtyard, and before she even sat down, she told the maid, "Go, invite the master."

Mr. Qiu came hurriedly and waved his hand for everyone else to leave.

"What's the matter?"

Madam Qiu frowned and said, "Of course it's about the burial. Didn't you hear what those people said? There are wronged souls and grievances. The dead people are unwilling to leave."

"That man...died for our son. He must be holding a grudge against us."

Master Qiu pinched his brows and said, "Don't listen to the nonsense of those ignorant people. People are dead, they won't bear grudges against anyone, and there won't be anything else."

Mrs. Qiu disagreed: "You also saw what happened today, how could it not be true?"

"Don't scare yourself," Mr. Qiu sighed, "They are all buried, nothing will happen."

Madam Qiu looked outside and lowered her voice even more: "Didn't you say that after a few days, when this matter is over, we will dig him out of the grave?"

"Of course," said Mr. Qiu, "That is our Qiu family's tomb. How can we allow a lowly person like him to be buried there?"

Madam Qiu grabbed his arm and said, "You... maybe he knew about it, so you're resentful?"

Mr. Qiu was startled: "Don't let your imagination run wild. Don't worry about these things. I'll take care of them."

"Then," Mrs. Qiu hesitated, "Can I see my son? Where is my son?"

Mr. Qiu said quickly, "Shut up! If you want your son to be okay, don't mention this. If others knew about it, it would really cost him his life."

"Now that everyone in Youcheng knows that he is dead, can he come back? Why don't you think about it carefully?"

"I know, I know... That's why I asked you," Mrs. Qiu lowered her head and wiped her eyes, "Then when can I see him?"

"After some time, during the Chinese New Year, I will take you to see him."

Mrs. Qiu was full of disappointment: "During the Chinese New Year? How long has it been since the Chinese New Year? We have to wait until the Chinese New Year, so long..."

"Think about it, it's a good thing your son is smart. If he really died, you would never see him again."

Mrs. Qiu was so shocked that she didn't want to experience that heart-wrenching pain again.

Mr. Qiu looked at her for a while, then asked, "You really only knew your son was alive because you noticed something was wrong with the body?"

Madam Qiu looked away guiltily: "Of course, it's my own son, how could I not know?"

She didn't say it. She didn't say that it was Yan Ruyu who reminded her. If she had said it, her husband might have beaten her to death and even silenced her.

The husband who loved her so much back then eventually disappeared in the course of time.

After this experience, she also thought it through clearly. Love between husband and wife is not important. As long as she and her children are safe, that is enough.

As for how many wives your husband has and which concubine he loves, what does it matter?

In the Qiu Mansion, she is still the lady and the mistress, and she has the final say in the rear house.

Forget it, I won’t argue anymore.

Mr. Qiu had no idea that Mrs. Qiu's mood had changed drastically. After comforting her, he quickly went on to deal with other things.

There is still a lot to do.

……

Yan Ruyu returned the bowl of water to the nun: "Master, what is your name?"

"I understand."

"Master Mingliao, to be honest, I came to the mountain this time because I heard that there is a mountain god here who is very powerful and can relieve people's worries and cure diseases."

"Someone in my family was sick and had taken a lot of medicine but it didn't help, so I came here to try my luck. Unexpectedly, I got lost and separated from the others."

Ming Liao was surprised: "Mountain God? I've never heard of it."

Yan Ruyu sighed: "I know it's probably fake, but there's still a glimmer of hope, so I want to give it a try."

"Master, how long have you been here? Haven't you heard any news?"

"I have been here for more than 20 years, and I have never heard of any mountain gods, but..."

Yan Ruyu asked anxiously, "But what? Master, please help me."

"However, there is a Medicine King Temple," Ming Liao whispered, "The former abbot often went there to burn incense and took us to repair the house. After a while, we found that people here are indeed getting sick less."

Yan Ruyu showed just the right amount of joy: "Medicine King Temple? That's perfect, I just want to ask for medicine for my family."

"Master, can you take me there?"

"This..." Ming shook her head, "I'm really sorry, I can't go out casually. The abbot doesn't allow it. She said that if it's not important, I'm not allowed to go out, and I can't take in others casually."

"Why?"

"I don't know about this. It was set after she took office. When the old abbot was here... Alas, after the old abbot passed away, she took over."

Yan Ruyu thought for a moment and said, "Then, can you show me the way?"

"……Fine."

Mingliao turned around, went to the chest of drawers, opened the drawer, took out paper, ink, brush and inkstone, and drew a route map.

"From here, go to the path ahead, turn right, and walk a little further. You will see a house. That's it. It's no more than twenty miles in total."

Yan Ruyu put away the route map: "Thank you."

"Then I'll be leaving. Thank you, Master."

Yan Ruyu could see that this person was smart, didn't like to talk much, and was hiding something.

If I ask further, I won't get anything out of her and it will only make her suspicious.

I might as well leave first and look around, and also go take a look at the Medicine King Temple.

Leave the room and prepare to leave through the main door.

As he was walking towards the door, he suddenly saw a figure. It was Qiu Ke Shi's lover, the woman named Su.

Yan Ruyu thought: "Sister Su!"

She took a few quick steps and grabbed Miss Su's hand: "Sister Su, it's really you, why... are you here?"

Miss Su was not wearing a nun's robe and looked the same as usual.

She looked good, and seemed more youthful than when they met at the governor's residence those days ago.

It seems that life here is good.

Miss Su looked at her in surprise, bewildered: "You are..."

"You don't recognize me?" Yan Ruyu said seriously, "My sister is a maid in Qiu's house. I used to..."

She lowered her voice and looked a little shy.
