A Dream of Transmigration

Chapter 74

Lin Feifei immediately removed her hand and took two meters back: "Whose is it?"

"It's the Fourth Madam's," the mad monk said, putting his palms together. "I never imagined that the well would be a gathering point for energy. This thing was just pulled out of the well; it must have been used by her to possess others."

Possession?

"Although the Five Elements Yin Yang Sha is powerful, she still needs to possess someone to go far. We only knew that Benefactor Zhan did not have anything on him for her to possess. We never expected that she would use ashes as a catalyst, mixing them into food so that people could eat them. That is why the three souls and six spirits were able to follow Benefactor Zhan to Jinling City."

"Eat?" My stomach felt like it was churning.

"She harbored such resentment that she was willing to abandon her ashes," the mad monk said with a look of regret. "Well done! It doesn't matter now, since your senior brother has already beaten her soul to pieces."

Lingyi? Lin Feifei was taken aback.

"What are the Five Elements, Yin and Yang, and their associated evil influences?"

"It was just a strand of hair that sealed their souls and spirits into the five elements. Now that the formation has been removed, the other ladies will no longer have to suffer in the underworld and can be reincarnated."

So that's how it is!

"Hey, it's finally all done," Lin Feifei said, clapping her hands as she sat down. "We can leave tomorrow."

The mad monk, however, wore a bitter expression: "When I go back, no one will invite me to eat meat."

As soon as he finished speaking, laughter erupted outside.

It was Madam Zhan who came over, supported by her maid, with Fifth Sister and Zhan Qiuyu by her side. Lin Feifei had been very worried about Fifth Sister, but it seemed that Madam Zhan had already forgiven her.

"Why does the master speak like this?" Madam Zhan said with a smile, and a maid behind her brought out a plate.

Several large ingots of silver!

"This is two hundred taels of silver. I hope you will not refuse this small gift," she said, bowing slightly. "The Zhan family was able to survive thanks to all the Taoist priests and masters. I have already asked my servants to prepare some wine and a small gift. Yu'er will be keeping you company outside, so please do not be shy."

But the mad monk was even more disheartened: "If Madam would send two chickens, that would be fine; I'd rather not take the money."

Madam Zhan was taken aback, and both she and Fifth Sister laughed.

“Master, there’s no need to worry. My Zhan family can afford to entertain such guests,” she said with a smile, then turned to Lin Feifei. “Young Master Lin, I have some matters I would like to discuss with you privately. Would you like to come inside and sit for a while?”

Lin Feifei paused for a moment, then nodded, but unexpectedly caught sight of Zhan Qiuyu, whose handsome face was wearing a strange smile.

.

The room is softly lit, with a well-matched color scheme that is elegant without being gloomy, and there is absolutely nothing glaring in it, all of which indicates the owner's excellent taste.

The embroidered curtains hung low, and a faint fragrance still lingered in the air.

Since Zhan Qiuyu fell into a coma, this was the second time Lin Feifei had entered Madam Zhan's room. That night, the lighting was dim, and she couldn't see very clearly, but now it was daytime, and the layout and furnishings of the entire room were clearly visible to her. As expected, it did not disappoint her.

Despite her admiration, Lin Feifei felt uneasy.

The room was very tidy, but it was too organized, almost excessive. Everything was in its place, and there was not a trace of mess.

As soon as the two sat down, Madam Zhan dismissed all the maids, leaving only Wu Niang standing to the side.

Lin Feifei was puzzled, but Madam Zhan smiled.

"Miss Lin, please don't be anxious," she said, picking up her teacup and smiling at Fifth Sister. "If it weren't for Fifth Sister telling me, this humble servant, with her failing eyesight, really wouldn't have been able to tell."

Fifth Sister also smiled.

Lin Feifei was puzzled: "Did Madam Zhan call me for something?"

“Of course there is something,” Fifth Sister smiled meaningfully, “It’s a happy occasion.”

"A happy occasion?" A warning bell rang in Lin Feifei's mind.

"Yu'er is too shy to tell me, but she told you," Madam Zhan looked at Wu Niang with apparent displeasure, then smiled at Lin Feifei and said, "Excuse me, Miss Lin, do you have any relatives or friends in your family?"

"Uh, no."

Madam Zhan was slightly taken aback, and then inquired about Lin Feifei's age and birth date in detail. Lin Feifei was secretly annoyed. It seemed that she had been set up on a blind date. She couldn't very well say that she was from thousands of years in the future, so she had no choice but to make up a story.

Madam Zhan looked at Fifth Sister, nodded and smiled, "What that gentleman said in previous years is quite accurate."

finally--

"What do you think of our Yu'er, Miss Lin?"

Here it comes!

Lin Feifei stammered, "It's alright, it's very good."

Madam Zhan exchanged another glance with Fifth Sister, her face beaming with even more joy: "That's good, Miss Lin. You probably already know about the Zhan family. Although we can't compare to those who are too wealthy, we're still doing alright."

These are truly impressive! It's probably because Master Zhan couldn't bear to give up this rare and auspicious feng shui, which is why he never moved to the city.

"Several of Yu'er's uncles have also taken up posts in other places. Last year, Yu'er had already passed the imperial examination and become a Jinshi, but because he is filial by nature and misses his master and his concubine, he has delayed going to take up his post."

Such a young scholar who has passed the imperial examination!

Lin Feifei felt incredibly inferior, but she was also extremely frustrated—the main event was probably coming soon.

Sure enough, Madam Zhan smiled and said, "Yu'er is already twenty years old, but she only has two concubines by her side. She's about to be sent to a post in another place, so how can she be without anyone else? I wonder if Miss Lin..."

Collapsed, two concubines!

Lin Feifei hurriedly waved her hand: "No, I can't..."
