Renbao left.

The old Duke woke up, exactly half an hour later.

He touched his chest and felt a comfort he had never experienced before.

"Your Excellency, you've finally woken up!" The servant knelt down and stepped forward, tears streaming down his face.

His life was saved!

The old Duke said, "Who saved this old man?"

The shopkeeper came over and, upon hearing this, smiled and said, "Old Duke, it's the Little Celestial Master."

"Little Celestial Master? I haven't met her yet." The old Duke stood up and stamped his foot. "Changshun, go back and prepare gifts. I want to personally visit the Little Celestial Master at the Su residence."

Changshun Road is...

The shopkeeper smiled and said casually, "The little celestial master's favorite thing is gold."

The old Duke listened and said, "Changshun, go to the gold shop first."

The news that the young Taoist priest had set up a fortune-telling stall at the Desheng Restaurant spread throughout the streets and alleys of Beijing.

From the powerful and wealthy to ordinary people, people flocked to the restaurant to see Renbao.


Zou Linhe, the heir of the Zou family, slapped his thigh and asked urgently, "Shopkeeper, do you know where the Little Celestial Master has gone? My mother is seriously ill and is waiting for her to return to the capital to invite her back to the manor."

The shopkeeper did not reveal Renbao's whereabouts. He shook his head and said, "The young master comes and goes as he pleases. How could a commoner like me know his whereabouts? Young Master Zou, why don't you go and visit Lord Su at the Su residence?"

Zou Linhe sighed; that was all he could do.

Those who came after him looking for Renbao were somewhat disappointed, but since they were already there, they might as well eat something.

The restaurant that the young Taoist priest frequents can't be wrong.

The shopkeeper couldn't stop smiling.

Little Celestial Master is truly the God of Wealth of Desheng Restaurant!

.

"Master, the young lady has returned to the capital!" Lai Fu, having learned the news, excitedly entered the study to inform Su Xuance.

Upon hearing this, Su Xuance stood up: "Where is Renbao now?"

Lai Fu said, "Miss is at Desheng Restaurant, she should be eating the crispy mountain."

"Let's go to Desheng Restaurant." Su Xuance immediately walked out.

Su Shuying also received the news and couldn't wait to go to the restaurant to pick up Renbao.

The two bumped into each other.

"Father, you've heard that Renbao is setting up a fortune-telling stall at Desheng Restaurant?" Su Shuying asked with a smile.

At this moment, the steward entered the courtyard with a guilty look on his face, and said nervously with his head down, "Sir, the waiter from Desheng Restaurant came to the mansion earlier and asked you to pay the bill. I thought he was a swindler and ignored him."

Su Xuance's expression froze: "How long ago?"

"Half an hour ago," the butler said in a shrewd tone.

It’s over.

Su Xuance's eyelashes trembled. There was only one possibility that Renbao would set up a fortune-telling stall: she had run out of money.

She'll probably have packed up her stall by now, within half an hour.

Renbao was definitely angry with him.

"Father?" Su Shuying called out to him when she saw him standing still.

Su Xuance sighed, "Let's go, let's go to the restaurant first to find Renbao's whereabouts."

The Liu family's residence is located in the eastern alley of the capital.

"Little Celestial Master, this is my home." Liu Sheng pushed open the dilapidated door, nervously clenching his sleeve. "My home is poor, and I'm afraid it may not meet your standards."

Renbao walked in and looked around. The Liu family's house wasn't big, but it was very clean, which showed that the family was hardworking.

"No, it's very cozy," Renbao said.

A weak voice came from inside the house: "Sheng'er?"

Liu Sheng pushed open the door, and a strong smell of medicine wafted out.

The young woman lying on the couch was named Liu Shang. She was just of marriageable age, but her face was sallow and withered, and her eyes were sunken.

Upon seeing Renbao, she struggled to sit up: "Sheng'er, who is this?"

She spoke a few words, then coughed and wheezed intermittently.

"It's the current Heavenly Master! Sister, you're saved!" Liu Sheng hurriedly stepped forward, picked up the dark medicine on the table, and poured it into her mouth.

A small, chubby hand gripped his wrist.

Liu Sheng was at a loss and said blankly, "Little Celestial Master."

"This medicine is useless and tastes awful, so you'd better not drink it," Renbao said.

Liu Shang's lips moved as if she wanted to speak, but she was too weak. Her eyelids drooped and closed completely.

"Sister!" Liu Sheng's pupils contracted sharply, and he reached out to check her breath.

Sister, could she be dead?

"Who asked for your sister's hair and nails before?" Renbao asked, taking a black pill from his pocket and stuffing it into Liu Shang's mouth. "This pill can only keep your sister alive for half a day. To save her, we need to find the person who protected her from the calamity."

Liu Sheng tried hard to recall, then shuddered: "Cousin! A month ago, my aunt said my cousin was sick and needed her nails and hair for medicine. She gave me not only hers but also mine."

At the time, he didn't think much of it, but now that Renbao had said that, Liu Sheng felt weak all over.

Renbao said, "That's to protect your cousin from disaster."

She pulled a paper puppet from Liu Shang's chest, on which were written Liu Shang's birth date and time.

"Here, this is the Paper Puppet Substitute Spell. There are two paper puppets in total. The other one is tied together with your sister's hair and nails. If you sink it into the river, it can protect others from disasters and misfortunes."

Renbao sat on the stool, wiggling her chubby little legs, her voice soft and sweet.

Liu Sheng broke out in a cold sweat, his heart pounding. He suppressed his anger and asked, "Little Celestial Master, if we find my cousin, will the curse they cast be broken?"

Renbao sat up slightly: "Yes."

"I'm going to settle accounts with them right now!" Liu Sheng stood up and strode out.

The moment the door opened, his eyes met those of Su Xuance.

Liu Sheng's heart skipped a beat. The other person had an imposing aura and was dressed in official robes. He instinctively felt afraid: "Sir, who are you looking for?"

"Daddy!" Renbao's eyes lit up when he saw Su Xuance, and he took a few steps forward with his chubby little legs before stopping abruptly.

No, she's still angry!

Renbao crossed his arms, turned his body and snorted, but couldn't help glancing to the side out of the corner of his eye.

The moment Su Xuance saw Renbao, all the sharpness between his brows vanished. He entered the Liu family home, quickly went to Renbao, picked her up, and said gently, "Renbao, Father was wrong."

Renbao puffed out his chubby cheeks and said haughtily, "Too late, Renbao won't forgive you."

"The steward mistook the waiter at Desheng Restaurant for a swindler and didn't tell Father, that's why Father didn't go. I was wrong." Su Xuance nuzzled Renbao's head with his chin. "Please forgive Father, okay?"

Renbao opened her chubby little hands and hugged his neck tightly: "Renbao had so many fortunes told today before paying."

Su Xuance continued to admit his mistakes.

Renbao's eyes curved into crescent moons: "Renbao forgives Daddy! Come with us to find Big Brother's cousin, she did something bad!"

Su Xuance rubbed her delicate nose, picked her up and put her in the carriage, and saw that Liu Sheng was still standing there.

He looked at him: "Lead the way."
