Chapter 509: Searching for Him in the Crowd 2
The witch doctor came to the Lu Mansion and after examining the Fifth Miss’s illness, he said that she was possessed by an evil spirit.

The Second Madam sighed, “It is said that the Fifth Girl has committed the ‘marriage-rejecting curse’ and will never be able to get married in her lifetime.”

“What should we do?” The Second Lady couldn’t help crying.

The fourth son Lu Ning heard this and said, “It’s not that our family can’t afford to support her. If we can’t get married, then we can just keep her at home for the rest of her life.”

Upon hearing this, the second wife spat at her youngest son and said, “Don’t get involved here. I haven’t settled the matter with you for stealing the maid in the room yet.”

Lu Ning looked wronged: “Mom, you’ve driven her away, and it’s not over yet. Yingzi was sent to the manor, which is already pitiful enough.”

“She is still pitiful?” Li Lanchun interrupted, “That little maidservant couldn’t stand the hardship after working for only a few days at the farm.”

Before Li Lanchun could finish her words, Lu Ning asked anxiously, “What happened to Yingzi? Is she sick from exhaustion?”

“That’s not the case.” Li Lanchun said, “She has been at the manor for a few days and has hooked up with the youngest son of Manager Zhao of the Water Manor. Now, she is pregnant. Manager Zhao even begged me yesterday. Now that things have come to this, I can only give Yingzi to Zhao’s son.”

“How could this be possible?” Lu Ning didn’t believe it: “Yingzi is not that kind of person.”

Li Lanchun snorted, “You are so easy to flatter. You were fooled by that little bitch in just a few words. When I drove her to the water village, Ah Ning ordered people to watch her, but I didn’t expect that they failed to keep a close eye on her and she actually did such a shameful thing. But it’s good that this way, it allows you to see her clearly, so that you don’t have to think of her as a good person and keep thinking about her.”

When Lu Ning heard this, he was so shocked that he was speechless.

The second wife simply said, “Chun’er, just promise the manager of the water manor to give the little hoof to their family. Not only will you give them the person, but you will also give them an extra twenty taels of silver.”

After explaining, she angrily said to her son: “Look, it’s only been a few days since we sent her away, and she’s already eager to find someone else. Now she’s even pregnant, and you still don’t give up.”

Lu Ning hung his head with a look of regret. After a while, he saw that everyone was staring at him and said angrily, “Why are you all looking at me? Why don’t you hurry up and find a way to cure Fifth Sister’s illness? He is just a maid who doesn’t know the meaning of love. Can I give up my future for him?”

The second wife snorted when she heard this: “That’s just a lie. Break up with her and study hard. I promise that when you pass the imperial examination, I will definitely marry you a beautiful wife.”

“Yeah.” Lu Ning hummed in his throat: “Then you can’t break your promise, mother.”

The second wife was so angry that she scolded again: “Little bastard, do you think I, your mother, can let you be single for the rest of your life?”

“I hope that Fourth Brother can make progress and stop thinking about that little maid.” Li Lanchun said, “Let’s think about Fifth Sister. Since we have offended an evil spirit, how can we solve it?”

The second lady sighed when she heard this: “For matters like this, we need to consult the witch doctor more.”

It was not until the western border of Wujin that Qin Xiaoning returned to the harem.

Lu Ji was waiting for his wife in Changle Palace. When he saw his wife coming back, the man teased, “Are you going home to take care of things again?”

Qin Xiaoning glared at him: “Look at what you said, it seems like I am nosy.”

Lu Ji smiled and said, “This family won’t work without you in charge.”

As he spoke, he teased, “It’s okay that Fourth Brother is a little fool, but poor Second Aunt, who is so smart, was fooled by you. Oh, my good wife is really capable.”

If Qin Xiaoning is a fox, then Lu Ji is an old fox.

Qin Xiaoning knew that she couldn’t hide it from her, so she simply admitted: “Fourth brother is simple-minded, and that little maid took advantage of this and tried her best to seduce her. After the truth was revealed, she hooked up with someone else. A woman like this would make Fourth brother obsessed with her.” Lu Ji smiled when he heard it and said, “It was you who asked the steward’s stupid son to seduce that little maid.”

Nothing can be hidden from this man.

Qin Xiaoning dared to take responsibility: “So what if it is.”

He added: “If she is really a woman of love and righteousness, she wouldn’t take the bait just because someone gives her a sweet date.”

Lu Ji nodded upon hearing this and said, “Such a woman is really hateful. It’s also my fault that my fourth brother is so stupid.”

Speaking of Lu Ning, Qin Xiaoning couldn’t help but say, “Fourth brother is not young anymore. He has taken exams for so many years but still failed to pass the exam. It’s obvious that he is not a good student. Why don’t you arrange a job for him?”

“That’s not difficult.” Lu Ji said, “I’m just worried that he won’t be able to concentrate and do a bad job, which would embarrass me.”

Qin Xiaoning retorted: “No one is born knowing everything. Just learn slowly. I think it’s better for him to go out and gain some experience instead of wasting time like this.”

Lu Ji nodded: “Okay, I’ll discuss this with my second uncle later.”

Then he asked Qin Xiaoning, “You pretended to be mysterious when you went back this time, but you didn’t get caught, did you?”

“That’s impossible.” Qin Xiaoning said with a smile: “You don’t know my ability yet.”

The man raised his hand and nodded her head: “She is extremely cunning inside, but on the outside she looks harmless and kind. She is really difficult to deal with.”

The little woman acted coquettishly towards him: “I am doing this just to get what your sister wants.”

“Du Jingxuan is a good man.” Lu Ji sighed, “It’s a pity that Qing’er didn’t have such vision and missed him.”

Seeing that Lu Ji favored one over the other, Qin Xiaoning said, “If the Sixth Miss doesn’t work, then give it to the Fifth Miss. In short, the good things should be kept in the family.”

The next day, news came from Ningguo Mansion.

It is said that the witch doctor has found a good remedy to cure the fifth girl’s illness, which is to find someone who is incompatible with her invisibly to marry her, and then the fifth girl’s illness can be cured without medicine.

At noon, Qin Xiaoning returned to the mansion.

The whole family, with their children, were gathering together to evacuate.

“The world is so big, where can I find such a person?” Although her daughter’s illness had hope, the second wife still couldn’t help but worry: “Besides, even if we find such a person, we don’t know what his character, personality and family background are like. How can we marry him just like that?”

Seeing the Second Madam was anxious, the Duke’s wife comforted her, “Don’t think about those things for now. The most urgent thing is to find such a person first.”

Li Lanchun echoed, “The key is that this person is hard to find. Even though we have his birth date and horoscope, we can’t just go around asking people from house to house. It’s like trying to find a needle in a haystack.”

At this time, Qin Xiaoning, who had been sitting silently, spoke up: “Of course we can’t go door to door to ask. If this matter were to be made public, wouldn’t it damage the reputation of the fifth sister?”

She paused and said, “I think we should ask the official matchmakers first. They are matchmakers every day, so they are naturally the most familiar with the young men of marriageable age in the capital.”

Everyone agreed. Li Lanchun hurriedly ordered someone to invite the matchmaker. After a while, the matchmaker was invited to the mansion. The matchmaker took the horoscope written by the witch doctor and looked at it. He was immediately surprised and said, “Isn’t this the horoscope of the young Marquis Du of the Yongyi Marquis’s mansion? A few days ago, his old lady asked me to find a wife for the young Marquis. She gave me the horoscope yesterday. I am absolutely not mistaken.”
