The uncle borrowed some merits, and the princess drew the talisman fiercely

Chapter 1796 Jade Bottle and Jade Seal

The jade seal Zhou Shiyue mentioned was something that appeared in his luggage after he went out once.

He still can't remember how it got there, or who might have put it there.

It wasn't discovered at the time, and with so many years having passed, it's even less likely to be found.

He was quite certain that the jade seal was in the Prince's mansion's storeroom, but he had searched for so long yesterday and still couldn't find it.

Lu Zhaoling naturally didn't know what the jade seal looked like.

Zhou Shiyue himself couldn't remember very clearly.

But now, seeing the jade seal in the painting, he felt it looked somewhat similar.

The main issue is that the jade seal is quite large.

The hand holding the object above is an animal head, and now the seal in the painting also looks somewhat like an animal head.

"It can't be such a coincidence, can it?" Lu Zhaoling was surprised.

Both of them leaned closer to take a closer look.

The two looked more and more alike.

“This old man only sketched a simple outline, but his stall was only painted in small sections. It’s quite strange that he painted such detailed drawings of just these two items on his stall,” Lu Zhaoling said.

“There is also a possibility that when he saw this scene, in addition to being moved by his father-in-law’s back, he also noticed these two items, which left a deep impression on him at the time.”

Zhou Shiyue said, "So when he was painting this picture, he focused on these two things."

That's also possible.

Lu Zhaoling said, "I'll go ask him."

"Now?" Zhou Shiyue raised an eyebrow.

“No,” Lu Zhaoling quickly said, “No rush, no rush, let’s wait a few days.”

After they finished speaking, Jiang Yongmiao brought in the sweet soup, and Sun Yanyan and Lord Chen also came in.

Lu Song went to Lu Zhaoling to hand in his homework.

"Senior Sister, I examined Lord Chen and carefully inquired about his recent activities. I think he likely gained merit by unintentionally helping a family and preventing them from being killed by the entire family. However, because of his intervention, someone from that family died, and they probably blamed Lord Chen for it."

Lu Song said to Lu Zhaoling, "Now Lord Chen's face is dark, and there is no obvious sign of bloodshed. Judging from his fierce appearance, it is somewhat related to water. So I guess Lord Chen will fall into the water within two days."

He drowned.

This was supposed to be the ending, but Lord Chen said that he felt his amulet was getting slightly hot last night.

He even let his wife touch it, but she said it wasn't true.

Lord Chen thought it over and over but was still worried, so he decided to come and see the masters early this morning.

Of course, he didn't dare to go to Lu Zhaoling at this time, so his original intention in coming to Huaiyuan was to find Yin Changxing or Yin Yunting.

If there's anything wrong with him, Sect Leader Yin and his son, Young Master Yin, will definitely be able to tell.

Lu Zhaoling is returning to her parents' home today, so he will definitely ask her about it first.

Lu Zhaoling looked at Lord Chen again.

“Yes, Junior Brother Lü has made great progress; what he said is basically accurate,” Lu Zhaoling said.

Lü Song's tense mood immediately relaxed a bit.

He hadn't expected his senior sister to test him, and he was so nervous. He was afraid he wouldn't be able to see through it, or that he had misjudged it. That's why he asked more detailed questions earlier.

When Lord Chen heard Lu Zhaoling's words, he did not breathe a sigh of relief; instead, he looked mournful.

"No, how did I end up helping the wrong person? If someone in their family died because of this, does that mean I'm guilty too?"

“It doesn’t mean it will be attributed to you,” Lu Zhaoling said. “Originally, someone was going to die in this incident, but after you got involved, the one who died was an innocent person, so you gained some merit.”

It's quite pitiful.

But isn't that how the world works? Being able to do good deeds and accumulate virtue is a process of building up small acts of kindness one by one.

If you keep doing good deeds, you will eventually accumulate enough to be rewarded one day.

People say that good deeds bring good rewards, and the reward for doing good is probably equal to the reward itself. It's not that if you do a good deed casually, you will definitely receive a significant reward.

This good deed might manifest itself in the fact that you might have tripped and fallen, but because you did a good deed, you won't fall again.

Some people, seeing that someone who consistently does good deeds has a bad ending, may doubt the effectiveness of good deeds. But how can you be sure that their good deeds in this life won't lead to a happy next life?

"Lord Chen has always been a good official, and now he is more sensitive to these mystical arts. Only you, being more sensitive, can detect that the amulet is hot."

Lu Zhaoling further explained, "If it were Lord Chen a few years older, he probably wouldn't have noticed."

Lord Chen chuckled twice, somewhat embarrassed.

A few years ago, wasn't he a corrupt official?

"Because we sensed something, Lord Chen came to us. By taking action, we were able to save him from this calamity. Isn't this a benefit that Lord Chen gained through merit?"

Lord Chen nodded vigorously.

"Your Highness, I will definitely continue to serve as an official well and do my job well!" Lord Chen quickly expressed his determination.

"Then let's leave Lord Chen's matter to my junior brother. I'll have him accompany you this afternoon if he's free," Lu Zhaoling asked. "Lord Chen won't distrust my junior brother, will he?"

"How could that be!" Lord Chen waved his hand. "Master Lü is also quite capable! How could we not trust the Princess's own junior brother?"

Lü Song: "......" My dear junior brother, what a dear junior brother.

Sun Yanyan witnessed the power of their Xuanmen sect once again, marveling at it and developing some ideas.

"Your Highness, I would like to invite you... or your fellow disciples to visit our business when you have time, to see if there is anything amiss, and if so, to make some adjustments to the feng shui. Would that be alright?"

Lu Zhaoling's eyes lit up, "Absolutely!"

The Sun family has so many businesses; by going around in circles like this, they can collect quite a bit of silver.

Moreover, the Sun family's managers and employees will be watching. Once they see their abilities, they will definitely come to them for help in the future.

This group of people are all potential customers.

For this reason alone, I'd even accept less money from Sun Yanyan...

Just as she was thinking of this, Sun Yanyan said, "Then I'll put down a deposit of one thousand taels first, and I'll make up the difference later if it's not enough. This is to reserve the time for all the masters in advance."

The deposit is a thousand gold coins!

Lu Zhaoling's gaze towards Sun Yanyan could be described as "kind".

"No wonder the Sun family's business is booming! Young Master Sun is truly a man of vision, courage, fortune, generosity, decisiveness, and good looks..."

Lu Zhaoling showered Sun Yanyan with praise.

Upon hearing this, Lord Chen thought to himself, "Wow, the princess is even better at filming than I am."

"Cough cough."

That's right, Your Highness, you should at least look at the Prince!

That person's face turned black.

“And there’s also the junior brother, senior sister,” Lu Song quickly interrupted Lu Zhaoling.
