“Patriarch? Patriarch? What’s wrong with you?” Several guards called out anxiously, but all they could see were the elderly man’s bloodshot eyes and slurred speech, “Ah, ah, ah.”
Feng Jiu smiled as she watched this scene “Why don’t you send your patriarch home right away? He’ll be in big trouble if you wait too long.”
The guards no longer cared about her and hastily sent their patriarch back to the residence.
Old White gaped and asked, “Why is his mouth drooping, Master? Is it because he talks a lot?”
Feng Jiu smiled as she patted Old White on the head. “He spoke too much and has a bad temper. It’s said that cultivating your mind will improve your character. Only by training your mind can your character improve. Being calm is beneficial to one’s health. Let’s get started! We’re returning to City Lord Manor.”
“Yes.” After giving her this response, Old White took her to City Lord Manor.
She returned to the courtyard after entering the manor and requested that several elders come over. When those elders entered the courtyard, they noticed Feng Jiu drinking tea at the stone table, so they approached her and greeted her, “Ghost Doctor.”
She’d been here for a few days, and they knew her name was Ghost Doctor, but they weren’t sure where she came from.
“Has everything been arranged?” Feng Jiu asked, looking at them.
“Ghost Doctor can be assured that the post has been delivered to several prominent families and that they will arrive at the door tomorrow.” One of the elders spoke. After pausing, he continued, “We have arranged for the Hao clan to leave.”
They talked in the courtyard for a while, reported everything, and then left. Feng Jiu went into the room after they left to cultivate until the next morning.
By invitation, several of the city’s patriarchs arrived early the next morning. They entered the house one by one. Old Patriarch Hong and Patriarch Hong had also arrived at City Lord Mansion early on this day.
When everyone was seated in the reception hall, they discovered that the grumpiest Patriarch Yu had yet to arrive.
“Why hasn’t Patriarch Yu arrived? I expected him to be the first of us to arrive.”
“Yes, indeed! How come we haven’t seen him yet?”
“Patriarch Yu stayed outside Hong Manor yesterday, refusing to leave. I’m not sure what happened after that. Did he know what was going to happen here today and decided not to come?”
Several of them were laughing and talking. They were in the middle of a conversation when they noticed someone pushing a wheelchair toward them from outside. When they saw the man in the wheelchair, they were taken aback.
“Wasn’t this, wasn’t this Patriarch Yu? Why is he in a wheelchair? ”
“His mouth drooped as well. Why is half of his body shaking?”
Several onlookers in the hall could only stare in surprise. How could things be so different just one day later?
After being pushed in, Patriarch Yu’s eyes flashed past the people inside, but he didn’t see the woman in red, so he opened his droopy mouth and slurredly asked, “Where, where is that woman in red?”
“She hasn’t arrived yet. Patriarch Yu. What’s the matter with you?”A patriarch asked in surprise.
Patriarch Yu appeared to want to speak, but his droopy mouth made it difficult for him to do so. He took a deep breath and then remained silent.
“Yesterday, my clan patriarch met the woman in red in an alley. He became so enraged that his mouth drooped and half of his body became paralysed. The manor’s physician examined him yesterday. He will barely speak even after treatment.” A guard stated while respectfully standing behind Patriarch Yu.
Everyone was appalled when they heard this. His mouth drooped due to being enraged by the woman in red? What on earth was going on? They were curious and wanted to ask questions, but they didn’t know where to begin.
