The two looked at each other and laughed simultaneously.
Today, the Zhu family was in high spirits, and Granny Zhu showed up after hearing the news, receiving flattery from the two of them for a while.
Granny Zhu was quite astounded upon learning the ins and outs of the situation.
The recent An Kang case that had been stirring up Jiangzhou, Ming Jing had contributed to it too.
She had underestimated her granddaughter.
Madam Ye took a moment to consider and asked Ming Jing to help ensure the salvation of her brotherâs soul, saying she was willing to pay whatever cost. Even though Ming Jing was not short of money, she simply trusted her.
âItâs all about making a good beginning and a good ending, thank you for your trust, Madam.â
Madam Ye replied cheerily, âThank you, Master. I will remember this favor. In the future, if there is anything you need, I will do my best to assist.â
Ming Jing smiled, âA Taoist ritual needs some preparations, I will notify you once I am ready.â
Madam Ye immediately complied, âJust tell me what needs to be prepared, Master.â
Ming Jing nodded. âAlright.â
In the kitchen, Madam Zhou told Zhu Xiangxiang, âYou go rest, I will serve the
tea. â
Zhu Xiangxiang sneered in her mind, as if she didnât know what Madam Zhou was planning. She simply wanted to let the outsiders witness how the Zhu family mistreated her, and cast aspersions on them.
âMadam Zhou, your legs and feet are not nimble, you should take a break, I will handle it.â She didnât wait for Madam Zhouâs response and picked up the tea tray and went out directly.
âLadies, please have some tea.â Zhu Xiangxiang carefully placed the tea tray on the table, picking up tea bowls one by one and serving them to the guests. Ye Lan and Li Qingyao exchanged glances and saw surprise in each otherâs eyes.
Was this Zhu Xiangxiang?
Madam Ye and Madam Li kept their focus inward and pretended not to see.
Granny Zhu cast a cold glance at her. âAlright, you can go now.â
Zhu Xiangxiang pressed her lips together, her expression pitiful, âAll right.â
Her eyes were filled with resentment and grievance.
Everyone was silent, and the atmosphere was tense for a moment.
Zhu Xiangxiang thought, it wouldnât be long before people would know how the Zhu family treated her harshly, and Zhu Mingjing and Lin Qing would be condemned.
However, she was overthinking.
Upon leaving, Madam Li asked, âWas the girl who poured tea just now Zhu
Xiangxiang? How did she turn out like this in the Zhu family?â
âDo you remember the matter from last time when the Master had her welcoming feast? Although they clarified that it had nothing to do with Zhu Xiangxiang, but in this matter, only she would have such a motive. Current clarification does not completely erase her suspicion, everyone was just giving some respect to the Master. Presumably, the Zhu family also knows about this and canât stand her anymore. If they send her away, it would cause a scandal; if they keep her, it is uncomfortable. If she were smart, she would know that this is the best way for her to gain foothold.â Madam Ye analyzed.
âMaster Zhu is compassionate, she has already cleared Zhu Xiangxiangâs name once, who knows behind the scenes what other things she has done to anologize to Master Zhu. she is not innocent at all.â
âIf she wasnât swapped at birthâ¦â
The two stopped talking at the same time. If Zhu Xiangxiang hadnât been swapped at birth, Ming Jing would never have become a Master, and her brother wouldnât have been absolved of his false accusation.
âBuddha often speaks of karma. Maybe this is the best arrangement now.â
Madam Gao couldnât sit still after learning that Madam Li and Madam Ye had visited the Zhu family.
This Zhu Mingjing truly was capable, even being able to summon the soul of a person who died three years ago, perfectly solving the case.
Mrs. Gao prepared a gift and intended to visit, but unfortunately, Ming Jing had gone to the competition class and wasnât at home.
From that day on, rich ladies who wanted to visit the Zhu family were as many as the fish crossing the river, and Jiangzhou City also praised the true daughter of the Zhu family as the reincarnation of the Bodhisattva. Not only did she possess exceptional beauty, but also remarkable wit and a compassionate heart.
Moreover, rumors spread that her spiritual cultivation was profound. She could judge oneâs fortune with a glance and had unparalleled medical skills, being able to judge life and death with a single word.
The notorious An Kang case in Manjiangzhou, the reason it could be solved was thanks to Zhu Mingjing who had earlier given Madam Ye a dream-inducing charm, allowing An Kang to appear in her dreams to clear his name.
After extensive publicity, Ming Jing had become a well-known figure in Jiangzhou City.
However, since that day, the Zhu family refused all visitors, and nobody could see Master Zhu anymore.
The more they couldnât see her, the more the rich ladies were anxious, willing to give a fortune just for a word of advice from Master Zhu.
âMaster Zhu? Thatâs interesting.â Ran Tengxiao hearing the gossip his subordinate gathered couldnât help but laugh.
âThe legitimate daughter of this Zhu family returned only three months ago, and she has already won over the hearts of the citizens of Manjiangzhou. She is indeed a formidable hand..â
