Chapter 530: Princess Kangning is currently creating a curse array
Marquis Yong'an returned to the mansion at dusk. As soon as he entered the door, he heard Butler Hu report on what happened today.
It was learned that Princess Cheng, her mother-in-law and her daughter-in-law had brought a lot of people to surround Jinhua Hall. They did not come out from morning to afternoon and only left half an hour ago.
He was a little surprised.
Why does visiting a patient take so long?
No, it should be that after such a long time, Princess Cheng hasn’t been irritated by Princess Kangning’s hypocritical behavior?
Until the secret guards came to report that Princess Cheng was in charge of Jinhua Hall, the two princesses brought their men to separately and cross-examine all the servants in Jinhua Hall.
It has been found out that Princess Kangning has been casting a curse formation recently, and a maid and two teenage girls in the courtyard were used as sacrificial substitutes and died on the spot with blood coming out of their seven orifices.
The formation would be effective only after seven days and was difficult to break, but it was unknown whether the formation was effective or not, as Princess Kangning fell seriously ill.
Later, Princess Kangning used Jiang Yingxue's heart blood and planned to continue to bless the formation for seven days. However, on the third day, Jiang Yingxue vomited blood and fell ill.
Then, in the past two days, Princess Kangning sent both of her daughters-in-law to take care of her sick husband and did not allow them to go to the Yuntang Mansion for banquets or to help out.
Yuntang is the eldest daughter of the Marquis's family. Her biological mother and sisters-in-law from the eldest house were not present at the banquet, which naturally attracted gossip from others.
Especially since the sisters-in-law were taking care of the sick, the fake daughter was also taking care of the sick, but Yuntang, the biological daughter, was the only one who was unfilial...
These are the tricks Princess Corning has been playing recently.
Of course, those unfilial words also came from Jinhua Hall.
Now Princess Kangning is bedridden, not under house arrest, so the servants in her courtyard can leave the house normally, and it is easy to pass on the message.
Under the cross-examination of the two princesses, the same servant was interrogated twice, and there was no careful collusion in advance, so there were many inconsistencies in the testimonies.
What's more, there are first, second and third-rank maids and old women in Jinhua Hall, plus six head maids, which roughly equals more than eighty people.
If each person gives two confessions, that would be one hundred and sixty or seventy confessions.
How many hours will it take to finish the work? Or is it too busy to have time to have a good meal?
Zhou Siyue was quick-witted. Seeing that her sister-in-law did not stop her from scolding the maidservant beside her mother-in-law, she asked Princess Cheng for instructions.
He quietly went out to ask the court physician to prescribe some tranquilizers so that Princess Kangning could fall asleep first, to prevent her from staying awake and making noise, which would affect the interrogation of the servants.
In the absence of interference from Princess Kangning, Princess Cheng issued another order that anyone who concealed something would be killed.
Given her status and position, how could the servants dare to hide anything from her?
After sorting out all the confessions, Princess Cheng angrily scolded Princess Kangning who had already woken up. Seeing that she was still stubborn and refused to admit it, she asked the maid beside her to slap her twice.
But Princess Cheng couldn't handle such a big matter, so she decided to go back and inform Prince Cheng first.
After the group had walked for half an hour, Marquis Yong'an returned.
The people brought by Princess Cheng were all ordinary people, and the secret guards were martial arts masters. They watched the entire process and told the results to Marquis Yong'an truthfully.
Upon hearing this, Marquis Yong'an smashed the teacup on the spot and gasped in anger.
"This evil woman!"
No wonder Tang Er didn't react at all to her mother's serious illness. She even said that if she insisted on making trouble, she would have to bear the consequences herself, and even mentioned death...
No wonder Tang Er said that the elixir he took before the New Year could keep him healthy for at least half a year, and it was impossible for him to catch a cold again. If the real cause of the disease could not be found, even the imperial physician would find it difficult to cure it.
No wonder Tang Er's master said, "Evil people give rise to evil thoughts, evil thoughts give rise to evil people, and you will suffer the consequences of your own actions."
It turned out that Tang'er had known for a long time that this evil woman was using a curse to harm her own daughter!
It turned out that Tang'er's master had long known that the evil woman was harming Tang'er, and that was why she didn't let Tang'er return to the Marquis' Mansion.
After a long while, Marquis Yong'an calmed down a little and asked someone to invite Jiang Mingwei and Jiang Yanxuan. Now they were the only ones in the mansion.
Jiang Mingli and Jiang Yanting returned to the South Camp. They have been coming back frequently recently, so it would not be good for them to stay in the mansion all the time.
The other younger ones were either training in the Imperial Guard Camp or listening to their master's teachings in Qingfeng Hall, and often did not return home at night.
Marquis Yong'an could not let such a thing interfere with the rare opportunity for his younger brothers to practice, so he just planned to discuss with his son and third brother how to deal with it.
However, the servant came back to report that the third master had gone to a banquet and had not returned home after finishing his shift.
As for Jiang Yanxuan...he received all the news shortly after Princess Cheng and her group left, and went straight to find Yuntang.
Since his sister asked him for help, he naturally had to report the news as soon as possible.
The news that his own mother had spared no effort in trying to kill his own sister had already made his head buzz, but his subconscious mind did not let him hesitate.
When Jiang Yanxuan arrived at the Princess Protector's Mansion, the gatekeeper saw that it was him and said that the young Taoist master was in Hefengxie.
Jiang Yanxuan, as Yuntang's elder brother, was already familiar with this place. Without anyone to lead the way, he walked through the garden by himself to the widest part of the Changhu Lake.
The lotus leaves in the lake bay have just shown their pointed tips, and it is not yet the season to admire the lotus flowers. However, the evening sun bathes the tranquil lake surface, and even the breeze exudes a comfortable and refreshing atmosphere.
Yuntang was making tea in the pavilion by the lake.
Yun Xuanmo, who had been here with her just now, knew that Jiang Yanxuan's arrival must be related to the Marquis' Mansion, so he went back next door first.
Yun Xuanmo naturally knew what Yun Tang had told his second brother last night.
Jiang Yanxuan walked to the waterside terrace with his head down in silence, sat down on an empty seat at the table, and stared at the lake with a gloomy look on his face.
Yuntang was sitting on the other side fiddling with the tea set. On the table was a small clay stove with a low belly, in which a charcoal fire was burning and a small ceramic teapot was boiling.
The water in the small pot soon boiled. Yuntang picked it up and poured it into two teacups and a fairness cup in another small ceramic bowl.
Then use a pair of tongs to pick up all the cups and place them on the tea tray on the table. Pour hot water into the fairness cup until it is one-third full, and then add an appropriate amount of spiritual tea into the water surface.
Watch the green tea leaves slowly soak into the water. After all the tea leaves are submerged in the water, add 50% hot water.
As the tea aroma gradually faded, she picked up the fairness cup and gently shook it, allowing the tea aroma to spread lightly and evenly.
The refreshing tea aroma wafts into your nose, which is much clearer than the faint fragrance of lotus leaves on the lake in the distance.
Jiang Yanxuan turned around from his trance and looked at Yuntang in a daze.
Seeing Yuntang fiddling with tea leisurely, his eyes fell on the fairness cup that was overflowing with tea fragrance.
My sister can easily manipulate the justice cup, but she can’t get the justice that belongs to her!
Thinking about his sister's grievances, his eyes turned slightly red and the corners of his eyes were wet.
"Don't be sad. She concealed the truth and did evil repeatedly. There will always be retribution. Don't feel sorry for her when the time comes. Even for the sake of filial piety, don't lose the morality in your heart."
Yuntang didn't ask him what was wrong and just said it directly.
Jiang Yanxuan was not surprised how she knew what he was sad about, he just stared at the movements of her hands.
