Butler Hu trotted over and called out to Yuntang at the fork in the garden.

Yuntang looked at the breathless Butler Hu without saying a word. He waited for him to calm down before telling him about things in the mansion.

"Yesterday there were continuous thunders. A servant who went out was frightened by the scary sight in the sky and almost fainted. When he woke up, he found that the amulet given by the eldest lady had turned to ashes."

Yun Tang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this. Is that all the courage he has? Are there many people in the capital who have really used the Thunder Master's amulet?

Didn’t the Marquis’ Mansion buy the Thunder Master’s amulet?

Without waiting for Yun Tang to speak, Butler Hu continued speaking in a lower voice:

"Last night, Young Master Ming had a fever and was crying restlessly. The palace doctor said that he was frightened and couldn't take the medicine. Before dawn, the Marquis invited the imperial physician to come..."

Without waiting for Butler Hu to finish his story, Yuntang turned and walked quickly towards the courtyard of his eldest brother in the East Courtyard.

Butler Hu quickly followed and asked carefully: "Miss, yesterday's thunderstorm..."

"Thunder disasters are not that scary, they are just a little noisy. People who are timid don't need to care about them. Those talismans are for calming the minds of the timid."

Yuntang explained a few words casually and then arrived at his eldest brother's yard.

The courtyard of the eldest son of Marquis Yong'an was naturally larger than that of others. It was divided into two parts, front and back, with two cross courtyards in the east and west.

There is also a corner courtyard at each of the four corners.

One of the two front corner courtyards is Jiang Yanting's study, which is also used for entertaining guests, and the other is left for the children to use as a study in the future.

The two back corner courtyards are the small kitchen and Wei Yulan's warehouse.

Jiang Yanting has not yet taken a concubine, so this courtyard is very spacious for the young couple and their children to live in.

This was the first time Yuntang came here in both of her lives. In her previous life, she didn’t stay in the Marquis’ Mansion for long, and her eldest brother had been in the South Camp and had never returned.

Or rather, she came back but because of someone's obstruction, she did not meet her elder brother.

In this life, she hurried into the yard without stopping, and saw that the maids and old women in the yard all had solemn faces and stood in the corridor and the entrance hall of the upper house as silent as cicadas.

"Isn't she said to be very powerful? Isn't she said to be the leader of the Azure Dragon Guard? How come she can't be found when she needs to come and see my nephew when he's frightened?"

Princess Corning's sharp questioning voice came from the upper house.

"Alright!" Yong'an Hou shouted impatiently, and then said, "I have already told Lang'er to go to the palace to find his sister first, just wait!"

"Humph, isn't she a fortune teller? How come she can't predict her nephew's situation? She even asked someone to tell her. I think she did it on purpose..."

Princess Kangning sneered sarcastically and was about to continue speaking when the maids in the corridor shouted in surprise.

"The eldest lady is back!"

"Miss, come and see the young master..."

Yuntang ignored them and walked in when a maid opened the cotton curtain under the porch.

Butler Hu did not leave immediately, but waited in the yard. If the marquis had any instructions, he could go forward and do the job immediately.

There was a thunderstorm in the capital recently, which was reported by Tianji Pavilion.

The countermeasures are: 1. Buy a thunder master amulet; 2. Peace jade can have the same effect; 3. Stay in the house and do not go out while chanting Taoist scriptures and praying for blessings.

They had started learning Taoism in their mansion a long time ago. There was a formal Taoist altar in the front yard, and they went there in batches for morning and evening classes every day.

What's more, even the servants each have a talisman in their hands.

Therefore, when the news from Tianji Pavilion was released, no one panicked like other families.

Marquis Yong'an himself had a piece of peace jade, and when he learned that the first, second, and third wives all had amulets given by Yuntang, he didn't care about it anymore.

How many Thunder Master amulets could the Marquis's family buy at a price of 1,000 taels each? Who needed them?

The old lady believes in Buddhism but not Taoism, so she won’t be able to use the talisman she bought.

Princess Kangning? Marquis Yong'an didn't want to pay attention. Since she was confined to the house, would she deliberately run out?

But no matter how much he planned, he never expected that the youngest child in the mansion would be frightened.

Marquis Yong'an felt extremely regretful, but he could only ask the court physician to take a look first. When he handed a sign to the palace to invite the imperial physician, he naturally also sent a message to go in to find Yuntang.

But Qingfeng Palace is busy right now, so this kind of news is not easy to spread.

The imperial physician came to the mansion, but there was no movement from Qingfeng Palace, so Marquis Yong'an asked Jiang Yanlang to go to Qingfeng Palace to find Yuntang before he went to the Shangshufang to study.

Who would have thought that Yuntang walked from the sky again and came directly to the Marquis' Mansion from Qingfeng Palace without meeting anyone on the way.

Butler Hu was very attentive. As soon as he saw the eldest lady coming back, he immediately told her the situation.

When Yuntang walked into the hall, he saw Marquis Yong'an and Princess Kangning sitting on either side, looking at each other with angry eyes, like fighting cocks.

"Father, where is Ming'er?" Yun Tang asked directly without any nonsense.

At this time, Wei Yulan's crying sound was heard from the room. Yuntang walked into the west room without waiting for Yong'an Hou to answer.

Jiang Yiming was just over one year old, and he had a wet nurse, two maids aged twelve or thirteen, and a maidservant by his side.

At this time, everyone surrounding the cradle had a sad look on their faces, and Wei Yulan was wiping away her tears.

"Move aside, don't leave the child alone." Yun Tang stepped forward and asked everyone else to leave.

When Wei Yulan looked up at Yuntang, there was a hint of anger in her eyes.

"Ming'er couldn't get rid of the fever in the middle of the night. Aren't you a Taoist? Aren't you the daughter of the Marquis's family? Ming'er likes you so much. Where were you when he was suffering?"

Although Wei Yulan usually looked down on others, she had never been so emotional. The momentum of her questioning was no less than that of Princess Kangning.

Yuntang glanced at her coldly and said nothing.

Wei Yulan dared to question Yuntang directly, but the others were just servants and did not dare to say a word. They honestly stepped back and left the area around the rocking bed empty.

Yuntang looked at the child. His bright big eyes were tightly closed, his long eyelashes were trembling, hot air was blowing out of his mouth and nose, and his round little face was red, but he didn't sweat.

The temperature around the rocking bed is much higher than the temperature in the room.

Yuntang also felt guilty. This was her fault. She underestimated the impact of the power of thunder magic on ordinary people.

Yuntang said softly, "Prepare some hot water for the child to bathe later."

The old woman standing by hurriedly took the order, while the others, including Marquis Yong'an and Princess Kangning who came in later, looked puzzled.

The imperial physician had said before that if the high fever did not subside, in addition to taking medicine, you should also use a cold water towel to gently wipe it to reduce the fever manually.

Just as Princess Kangning was about to blame Yuntang for his mess, she saw Yuntang's outstretched left palm covered by a layer of golden light, which covered the child's forehead.

Yuntang ignored the others, made hand gestures with his right hand, first recited the spell to calm down the frightened, and then recited the spell to protect the body.

"The sky protects me, the earth protects me, the twelve zodiac signs protect me, the spiritual official protects me. The year protects me, the month protects me, the day protects me, the hour protects me, the golden armor protects me. I respectfully invite the six stars of the Southern Dipper and the seven stars of the Northern Dipper. I obey the order of the Supreme Lord Laozi!"
