"Of course, please extend your hand, ma'am."

Luo Bai nodded slightly, and Meihong also stood aside at the right time.

Gently pressing on the pulse of Meihong's mother's outstretched hand, Luo Bai had the answer in just a moment...

Of course, he was just pretending. He already knew the situation of Meihong's mother when he arrived at the gate of Fujiwara Mansion. But in order to prevent the two from getting suspicious, he decided to pretend.

"Madam, don't worry. It's just some seasonal ailments. I have some medicine here. It will only take one or two weeks."

However, after hearing this, Meihong's mother did not thank her immediately. Instead, her eyes showed some vigilance and doubt.

But when he noticed Luo Bai's eyes glancing towards Mei Hong, he instantly understood what she meant and said with a smile, "So it's just some miscellaneous illnesses? Thank you for the diagnosis, sir."

Then he looked at Meihong again: "Meihong, look, I told you it's okay. Don't be so hasty next time."

Hearing the scolding from her mother, Meihong smiled instead.

"I know I was wrong, mother. I will be more careful next time."

"Hmm? Do you want to have another chance?"

"no..."

"Okay, Madam, please stop teasing Meihong. She is your daughter and you know her personality. If you continue like this, I'm afraid she will get anxious again."

Seeing Meihong panicking again after being questioned, Luo Bai interrupted their conversation and chuckled, "Madam, you and Meihong should take a rest first. You are not feeling well, and Meihong ran all the way back.

How about I go outside and adjust the prescription, and then discuss the details with you later?"

"Of course, thank you sir."

After responding to Luo Bai, Meihong's mother propped herself up and sat up. Then she took Meihong's hand and sat down on the edge of the bed. The two of them started talking in private.

Seeing this, Luo Bai nodded, turned around and walked out of the house, setting up a barrier.

Slowly walking outside, looking at the group of people surrounding the place, his gaze shifted to the middle-aged man in the front, Luo Bai chuckled and said, "I have long heard of your name, Lord Fujiwara."

Chapter 35: The Old Fox's Methods

When I walked out of Meihong's house, I saw a group of people surrounding the place. Some of them were even wearing hunting clothes and had some energy in their bodies. In the front was a middle-aged man who was about forty or fifty years old.

"I wonder what it is that brings you into my humble home?"

The man called Lord Fujiwara took a step forward and asked Luo Bai with a calm look.

"Haha, my last name is Luo, a single white character, and I'm from the Tang Dynasty. If being invited by your daughter to see a doctor can be considered an intrusion, then let it be."

Seeing Luo Bai showing no fear and still being very casual, Fujiwara Fuhito's eyes flashed with surprise.

His surname is Luo and his given name is Bai. He is from the Tang Dynasty. The clothes he wears are also the type of those worn by monks there. And seeing that he is not afraid of so many people behind him, he must have real skills.

But if he was not given face in front of so many people, then naturally he couldn't speak properly.

Although the monks there are relatively rare, he has come into contact with them before. If he wants to act recklessly based on these, he would be underestimating him.

"Then I wonder if Mr. Luo has finished his treatment? Could you tell me how my wife is doing?" Fujiwara no Fuhito smiled, looking very concerned.

"I think I've finished the examination. As for the condition..." Luo Bai pretended to pause and looked at him with a strange look.

"I wonder if Lord Fujiwara's food is good today?"

"Of course, there's nothing wrong with that. However, I was just asking about my wife's condition. What's the meaning of Mr. Luo's question?"

Fujiwara no Fuhito frowned slightly. Was he deliberately trying to change the subject? This was a rather low-brow approach.

"I'm glad you're alright. I was just thinking that since your wife's food could be poisoned, Lord Fujiwara should be more careful."

Before Fujiwara no Fuhito could say anything, someone behind him spoke loudly.

"What do you mean, man? How could the food we gave to the lady be poisonous? How dare such a quack slander us? What is your intention?"

Fujiwara no Fuhito didn't speak immediately. He frowned and looked at Bai, trying to see if he was lying.

After seeing that Luo Bai's expression remained unchanged, Fujiwara no Fuhito let out a breath and looked serious.

"Mr. Luo, could you please move over and discuss this matter in detail?"

He didn't believe that Luo Bai would say such words for no reason. It was completely unnecessary just to scare them.

If he hadn't known that Meihong's mother was ill, he wouldn't have asked anything, but now that he knew, he would ask someone to check on her even after Luo Bai left.

But if it is not illness but poisoning, then we need to investigate thoroughly. If they can start with Meihong's mother's food, it is not impossible that they can come into contact with his food.

"Of course, Lord Fujiwara, please lead the way." Luo Bai smiled and nodded, signaling Fujiwara Bubi to go first. But then he suddenly thought of something and spoke again: "By the way, your wife needs to rest for a while. Lord Fujiwara, please don't let anyone disturb them."

"Thank you Mr. Luo for your reminder. I understand." Fujiwara no Fuhito nodded and turned around to walk towards a place.

And among the people behind him, several of them suddenly knelt down.

"Please be clear, Lord Fujiwara! We check the food delivered to us every day and have absolutely found no poison!"

"Please, sir, take a closer look!"

Hearing the shouts from behind, Fujiwara no Fuhito glanced at them, continued walking forward without changing his expression, but waved his hand behind him, made a gesture, and then ignored them.

I almost forgot about them. Even if they really checked, what would it matter? The thing has already happened, and someone must bear the consequences. After all, Meihong's mother is his wife, and not everyone can hurt her.

......

In a classical wooden house, a knife was placed opposite the door, a folding fan was hung on the wall behind it, and there were some incense lit by servants around it, which smelled cool.

The two sat opposite each other in a room with brewed tea placed in front of them.

Taking a sip of tea, Luo Bai spoke first: "Lord Fujiwara, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask."

"Thank you very much, Mr. Luo." Fujiwara no Hitoshi nodded slightly.

"I wonder if the story of my wife being poisoned is true or not?"

"Haha, Lord Fujiwara will know the reason for this matter after investigating. It's not convenient for me to speak up."

Hearing Luo Bai's words, Fujiwara no Fuhito frowned slightly.

He was not comfortable bringing this up. Could it be related to his family affairs? He needed to investigate further.

"I have already had someone start an investigation, and I believe we will know the results soon. Thank you very much, Mr. Luo, for your assistance."

Since it was a matter of his own family, Fujiwara no Fuhito couldn't continue to be rude to Luo Bai, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.

"No, no, I just saw this and followed my heart to do what I should do. If you really want to thank someone, it should be Meihong.

If Meihong hadn't gone to great lengths to seek help, I probably wouldn't have discovered this."

Is my sister popular?

Fujiwara no Fuhito was thinking about the significance of Meihong in this matter, but suddenly noticed another thing.

"Thank you, Mr. Luo, for letting me know. I will have a good talk with Meihong later. But I wonder what your relationship is, and why you address her like that?"

"I have no relationship with Meihong. I just happened to meet her and felt that Meihong was very kind, so I called her that. If Lord Fujiwara does not mind, I will change it back."

Luo Bai smiled lightly. He had already established some friendship with Meihong in Gensokyo, so how could he not feel close to her?

"There's no need for that. It's Meihong's blessing that she can make Mr. Luo feel friendly. If I change it back, it would make me seem a little unkind." Fujiwara no Fuhito said with a smile.

He was not clear about Luo Bai's strength, but from what his servants told him, they were pinned to the spot without seeing Luo Bai make a move, so he probably was stronger than some of the Yin-Yang masters in his mansion.

Meihong is just a child born to a wife who is not valued. If she can be used to build a good relationship with Luo Bai, then she will have some other uses.

Otherwise, when they come of age, they can only be used to marry those so-called nobles.

But Fujiwara no Fuhito is already second only to the emperor and above everyone else. If he wants, he can even try for the emperor's position. It's just that he is older, so he just wants some stability.

Marrying into those people is just to make the family develop better and pave the way for future generations.

"In that case, thank you, Lord Fujiwara."

"Mr. Luo, you're welcome."

......

After a conversation, Luo Bai stood up and prepared to leave.

"I had a very pleasant conversation with Lord Fujiwara today, but unfortunately I have other things to do, so I won't bother you for now.

Please tell Meihong to come to the place where we met tomorrow morning to get the medicine."

"Mr. Luo, please take care. I will inform Meihong about this."

Fujiwara no Fuhito also stood up to see him off.

But Luo Bai waved his hand to refuse.

"No need to see me off, Lord Fujiwara. The thing you wanted to know has already been answered.

And considering that we have a connection today, I will give Lord Fujiwara another reminder.

Something big is going to happen soon, Lord Fujiwara must stay awake!"

After he finished speaking, Luo Bai glanced at the room next door, looked at Fujiwara Fuhito inexplicably, and then turned and left.

Fujiwara no Fuhito looked at Luo Bai's departing figure, thinking about something.

After Luo Bai's figure completely disappeared, Fujiwara no Fuhito suddenly spoke.

"He should have spotted you."

"With your cultivation, it's not difficult for you to find me." A female voice came from the next room.

"Do you think he can help you?"

"You still need to ask in person."

"...I see."

After he finished speaking, Fujiwara no longer spoke, and the voices in the room fell silent.

A moment later, a voice came from outside the door.

"Sir, the matter you were investigating has yielded results."

"Come in." Fujiwara no Fuhito said calmly.

Then a figure walked in with a briefing.

Fujiwara no Fuhito took it and flipped through it gently, but his expression soon changed drastically.

"These rebellious sons!"

The people beside him bowed hurriedly.

"Forget it. Go find them some teachers to teach them something. They are not allowed to leave the courtyard until they have learned everything."

"Yes!"

The figure stepped back to do this.

"and many more."

Fujiwara no Fuhito suddenly spoke.

"How old is Meihong this year?"

Chapter 36 The Truth of the Matter

The next morning the sun was shining brightly.

Luo Bai sat in front of the door, waiting for Meihong's arrival, while listening to the news from the people around him.

"Hey, have you heard that it seems that Lord Fujiwara's children are under house arrest?"

"I know, I know. It seems they got into some trouble and offended someone they shouldn't have. That's why Lord Fujiwara grounded them. He said it was a punishment, but I think he was protecting them."

"Shh, keep your voice down. We don't know whether the news is true or not. Don't talk nonsense or someone might hear you."

"Hey, it's okay. It's spread all over the neighborhood, but the story is different."

"What?! I'm the last one to know? I even have a relative who works as a servant in the Fujiwara Palace. Doesn't seem very reliable?"

"Your relative is no good, forget it, let's go, I have things to do..."

The sounds from the street reached Luo Bai's ears, and he couldn't help but shake his head.

Fujiwara no Fuhito is too partial.
