The Valued Lady is Truly Dominant

Song Ci now feels greatly relieved, believing firmly in the female protagonist’s halo. Seeing Prince Min send such a thing as an apology gift, she felt a bit unusual. Later, after dreaming of the hint from the old lady’s original form, she placed the pearls high up and out of reach.

If not, with her physical condition, truly as Qing Ming said, believing in the nonsense of nurturing oneself, wearing it day after day, it’s likely that now, just as Master Buhui said, her lifespan would be over.

Fortunately, a million times over.

But Qing Ming, probably received guidance from someone, repeatedly pinned those pearls to her chest.

”Qing Ming is likely gone.” Song Ci said to Nanny.

Nanny had already thought of this, her face looking very unpleasant.

”Master, Madam also wore that strand of pearls. Do you reckon it could be that stone you mentioned that made her body so weak?” Lin Qing frowned and said, ”I saw her wear it a few times. Could Madam’s organs have been damaged?”

Buhui said, ”I dare not comment without seeing the pearls. But if there are no other items, then these pearls should be strange. As for her organs...”

He looked at Song Ci, then at Lin Qing, and said, ”As Madam said, if her organs had begun to fail, given her condition, she wouldn’t be sitting here so well and alive. Little Lin Qing, you’ve been taking Madam’s pulse for years, you should know her condition better.”

Lin Qing pursed her lips, precisely because she knew, that’s why she was worried.

”If the pearls truly have issues, then Madam is fortunate amidst misfortune, having not worn or handled them daily, or else, you might have already passed away.”

Nanny’s face turned green, somewhat furious, wondering if he knew how to speak properly.

Song Ci didn’t mind, being straightforward, she chuckled and said, ”So, I am lucky after all, and might live a few more years, right?”

”Though the organs haven’t begun to rot or be damaged, the influence has occurred, or else you wouldn’t be so weak. As for a cure, I haven’t heard of anyone with such a condition being curable.”

Song Ci remained silent. When a body gets severely radiated, various complications arise, some of the deadliest, touching them brings death. With current medical conditions, it seems cureless.

”Please, Master, devise a remedy to nurture my health, living each day as it comes. Fortunately, I didn’t wear it for long.” Song Ci stood up and solemnly bowed to Buhui.

So being fortunate amidst misfortune, the saying is quite accurate.

Buhui recited ’Amitabha Buddha’ and said, ”Madam has a broad mind, sees things clearly, if she keeps a calm heart and carefully nourishes herself, she will likely live a few more years, as she wishes.”

”Monks don’t tell lies, I suppose I have the Master’s promise.” Song Ci immediately said.

Buhui: ”...”

Song Zhicheng returned, his face dark as a pot’s bottom.

Song Ci jokingly said, ”What’s wrong? Returned without success? Did Qing Ming run away or is he gone?”

Song Zhicheng was taken aback, ”How does mother know?”

Song Ci pointed at Buhui, ”Isn’t the Master here, can calculate with his fingers?”

Buhui: ”???”

Nanny, helpless, repeated the conversation they just had, Song Zhicheng turned pale, swallowed, and said solemnly, ”Qing Ming’s family perished in their house, poisoned by pigeon poison, searched their house from top to bottom, but couldn’t find that strand of pearls.”

Song Ci pursed her lips, sighed, and said, ”This matter, you and your elder brother decide.”

Buhui saw that the matter was beyond their involvement, so he invited Lin Qing to go outside and discuss the pulse case and finalize a prescription.
