Chapter 380 Dream of Red Mansions - Jia Yingchun 51

"That little bitch has been sick for a few days, how come she's still alive?"

For some reason, the Second Wife always felt very frightened and panicked. She desperately hoped that Jia Huan would die as soon as possible. In the past few days, Jia Zheng had invited the imperial physician with a letter. Perhaps because Jia Huan's strange disease was too rare, the nobles in the palace also began to pay attention to it. Seeing that there were more and more imperial physicians in the mansion, the Second Wife could not help but start to worry about what to do if something happened.

"Madam, don't worry. I've already asked Ma Dao Po about it. This curse is called the Seven Day Curse. It only takes seven days to kill a person. Now four days have passed. Let's relax and wait for another three days!"

"By then, this person will be dead. Even if the nobles in the palace are curious, they won't be able to ask the imperial physician, and they will definitely not think of us."

Although the Second Wife paid, most of the people who took action in such matters were Zhou Ruijia, so Zhou Ruijia was more stable than the Second Wife, who was a pampered lady.

Mrs. Zhou Rui had more dealings with Ma Dao Po, and she knew very well how many people in the entire capital had looked for Ma Dao Po. Such things happened to every family. Seeing that nothing had happened to other people, she naturally did not worry about Jia Huan's incident happening.

What they didn't know was that the reason why the noble lady in the palace suddenly paid attention to Jia Huan was because Jia Yuanchun in the palace was pregnant. However, the noble lady ordered that the matter be kept secret, and Jia Yuanchun was under house arrest and had no chance to contact anyone in the Jia Mansion.

It just so happened that someone in the Jia family fell ill and needed to consult an imperial physician. The noble lady strengthened surveillance in order to prevent the imperial physician from conveying a message to Jia Yuanchun in the palace. Jia Huan was lucky because the noble lady became curious when the person under surveillance reported, so she paid more attention.

After all, noble people are also afraid that they may fall victim to such tricks one day.

Yes, it was a method. It was not difficult to guess what happened to Jia Huan. Basically, except for the people in the Jia family, everyone outside could see it, and the nobles could naturally see it. He was afraid that this method would be spread to the palace. After all, Jia Huan's stepmother was the biological mother of Concubine Xian De. She had such a method of killing people invisibly, could she hide it from her own daughter?

Jia Tanchun was horrified after hearing what was said inside. She tried hard not to say anything, but when she got to her room, she couldn't control her panic and burst into tears.

"Quick, take me to find the old lady!"

Jia Tanchun knew very well that she could only go to Grandmother Jia for help with such matters. It would not work to go to Aunt Zhao or Jia Zheng.

When Lady Jia saw Jia Tanchun and learned about this, she was also frightened by the Second Madam's methods. She didn't understand why the Second Madam suddenly took action against Jia Huan when he had already grown up to this age. It was not until Yuanyang, who was standing by, reminded Lady Jia that she realized that the beating that Jia Baoyu had received before was actually related to Jia Huan.

"Oh, what a sin!"

Grandmother Jia felt exhausted by this. The Jia family was already in imminent disaster, but not only did no one in the family have any premonition, they were actually attacking each other for this little benefit. However, no matter how disappointed she was, Jia Huan was still Grandmother Jia's grandson, so she had to save him if possible.

"Yuanyang, go and help me call the Second Master and the Second Mistress over!"

"Tanchun, you should go back first. It's not convenient for you, a girl from a small family, to be present at this matter." Jia Tanchun was not stupid. She knew that if she really stayed here, she would have no good life in the future. She quickly wiped away her tears and left.

Grandmother Jia wanted to resolve the matter quietly. After all, the virtuous concubine was still in the palace, and as the virtuous concubine's biological mother, she could not do anything to the second wife even if she did such a thing.

Just for the sake of the reputation of the Jia family and to reduce the number of charges against the Jia family in the future, Grandmother Jia had to help clean up the mess. Grandmother Jia had good intentions, and Jia Zheng also cooperated. After learning about this from Grandmother Jia, he had a big quarrel with the Second Wife, but he didn't reveal anything to the outside world.

The Second Wife was exposed by Grandmother Jia and scolded by Jia Zheng. She had to admit her mistake and find Ma Dao Po to rescue Jia Huan. The matter was resolved quickly, but the nobleman had set up spies in the Jia Mansion to monitor the imperial physician, and the Second Wife's confidant Zhou Rui's wife went to find Ma Dao Po.

"How dare you use the art of warding off evil at the feet of the emperor!"

It has to be said that the new royal family was really scared. He thought that these techniques of exorcism were just legends. Although he was in awe, he was not very afraid. Now, a real technique of exorcism was being performed right under his nose. The key was that it was very effective. It could take a person's life in seven days, but nothing could be found out.

How could the new emperor not be afraid? No matter how much he boasted that he was blessed by heaven and had the aura of a dragon, he was still only a mortal after all.

"Come here, call the commander of the Imperial Guards over."

Ma Dao Po was still happily collecting money. Although she suffered some backlash for temporarily removing the curse, it was not a big deal as long as she was given a lot of money. She didn't care why Zhou Rui's wife regretted it, nor did she care whether the cursed person was dead or alive.

What Ma Dao Po didn't know was that the new emperor, upon learning about her, had already sent his guards to capture her.

Ma Dao Po became a widow not long after her marriage and was driven out of the house by her husband's family on the grounds that she was a jinx. However, her own family valued boys over girls and refused to take her, a married daughter, back home.

In desperation, Ma Dao Po could only become a beggar and began to beg. Fortunately, she soon found a book of spells under a Buddha statue in a dilapidated temple. Ma Dao Po learned the spells in the book by guessing and asking others. In order to make money, she began to perform spells for people.

Later, Ma Dao Po became a Taoist priestess, became famous, and became more ambitious. She went to the capital to make more money. At first, Ma Dao Po didn't understand and helped some people deal with political enemies for money, but after being backfired, Ma Dao Po realized that some people could not be touched.

So Ma Dao Po changed her target and started to attack the back house. It must be said that with the help of Ma Dao Po, many ladies in the capital successfully dealt with their opponents.

Unfortunately, Ma Dao Po was in trouble this time. When the guards found her, she was taken away without even having time to hide the silver. The spell book was hidden under the stove where Ma Dao Po lived, waiting for the next destined person to find it.

Jia Huan woke up, and the second wife was forced to start worshipping Buddha. Jia Tanchun breathed a sigh of relief and finally had the heart to go out and play with her sisters. Not long after, Granny Liu came to Rongguo Mansion again. This time, Jia's mother entertained Granny Liu herself and took her to visit the Grand View Garden.

Granny Liu knew her limits and had a clear idea of ​​her own position. She played the role of a clown to appease Lady Jia and even gave Wang Xifeng's daughter the name Qiaojie.

Everyone was talking and laughing, it was very lively, as if everything that had happened in the Jia Mansion before had no impact on them.

It was already winter at this time, and Liu Xianglian, who was looking for Jia Lang outside, had to return to the capital. When he met Jia Lian on the way, he specifically stepped forward to ask about Jia Lang's situation.

"Master Lian, long time no see. I wonder if Master Lang has returned from his study trip?"

"Brother Liu! Long time no see!"

"Langge wrote to me earlier, saying he would not be coming back for the New Year."
