On the other side, the guard who was impersonating a servant handed the talisman he had obtained to Qingyou.

After studying it, Qingyou discovered that the unlucky charm that Lou Kui had exchanged had a mysterious energy that was somewhat similar to her spiritual power, but not quite.

"Master, do you know what the layer of energy that's used to create this talisman is?"

The system performed a check and concluded, "It should be spiritual energy from the cultivation world."

The system has only ever had one host, Qingyou, but it has been collecting and searching for cannon fodder with overflowing resentment who need to complete tasks in various small worlds.

It has also collected many things from around the world and added them to its knowledge base, so it can be recognized with a single scan.

Qingyou has never been involved in cultivation, but she has acted in fantasy dramas in modern times and has read many related scripts, so she has some understanding of it.

She became somewhat interested. "So it's spiritual power. Let's go and see the Xianxia world sometime."

System: "There will definitely be an opportunity."

Qingyou examined the unlucky talisman again and discovered that the effect of adding spiritual power to the talisman was similar to that of her spiritual power.

That means she possesses spiritual power, which should be somewhat helpful if she goes to the cultivation world.

As she traversed more small worlds, her mental strength gradually recovered.

"No wonder this talisman was so effective, allowing the original owner's father to be easily killed by the enemy in a sneak attack."

It used spiritual power that wasn't from the ordinary world, and the original owner's father simply couldn't withstand it.

System: "Master, this unlucky charm can be recycled and exchanged for ten wish points."

Qingyou toyed with the unlucky charm, "I'm not taking it back. Let's give them a taste of their own medicine."

Since the second wife is so heartless as to want to use the bad luck charm to harm people, then let them suffer the consequences themselves.

She used her mental power to investigate and discovered that Min Yanji was heading towards the Second Master's courtyard.

So he got up, opened the door, and quickly climbed over the wall to the courtyard where the second wife lived.

Then, before the Second Master and Min Yanji arrived at the study, he dissolved the bad luck charm into the freshly brewed tea.

Then he quickly avoided the guards and climbed over the wall to leave.

As soon as Qingyou left, the second master and his son went into the study.

Min Yanji reached out and poured tea for him and his father, and the two drank and talked.

The second master was skeptical about the effectiveness of the bad luck charm.

However, this kind of talisman is extremely mysterious. If it works, even if his elder brother dies, the emperor won't be able to find out. It's worth a try.

If it succeeds, and then Min Yanchang is killed, the position of Duke will definitely be his.

Even if they fail, they won't suffer any losses.

So he put the "bad luck charm" that Min Yanji handed him into his bosom and told his son never to tell anyone else.

After the two talked for a while, the second master went to the old lady's courtyard.

During dinner, the old lady called Min Zhenyuan over to dine with her.

He had a maid serve a bowl of soup separately to the Duke of Zhenguo.

Min Zhenyuan took the soup and sighed inwardly, thinking, "What an ungrateful wretch!"

Under the watchful eyes of the old lady and the second master, he finished the soup in one gulp.

Before he came, his daughter had already told him about the unlucky charm.

He knew that his daughter had replaced the bad luck charm with a good luck charm, which was why he dared to drink the soup.

He was still a little uncomfortable, after all, he had been very kind and righteous to the old lady and the second wife over the years. It was just a pity that people are never satisfied.

Seeing Min Zhenyuan drink the soup, the two masters breathed a sigh of relief, their smiles deepening.

After finishing the meal, Min Zhenyuan left.

Back in my own courtyard, Qingyou was there too.

Seeing that her husband's expression wasn't good, Liu Yiyi knew that the other party had still made a move.

"Did they give you something to drink separately?"

Min Zhenyuan nodded, "He gave me a bowl of specially stewed pigeon soup."

He sneered, "Since they're determined to harm me, I won't hold back anymore."

Because of his daughter's reminder, he secretly conducted a thorough investigation into the second wife's family.

Sure enough, they discovered many problems. His second brother had not only secretly cultivated his own power, but also had private connections with the remnants of the rebel king.

If things continue like this, even if he doesn't get killed, the Duke's mansion will be ruined by the second son.

The reason he gained the emperor's trust for so many years was that he never concealed anything.

So they showed what they had found to the emperor.

The emperor told him not to touch the second son yet, lest he alert the enemy.

"Let them enjoy their freedom for a while longer. I think the current leader will make a big move later. The second brother and his gang are courting death, and there's no stopping them."

The second wife's family was incredibly audacious to have any connection with the remnants of the rebel king.

Liu Yiyi's expression was also not good. "Over the years, we have not been harsh on the second branch of the family. On the contrary, we have supported them for many years. You have also taken good care of the second son and Min Yanji in the court."

"I don't expect them to remember any kindness, but they're so ruthless in trying to harm you. It's absolutely despicable!"

Min Zhenyuan sighed, "I never expected that they would not only make so many moves behind the scenes, but also try to kill me."

The complete lack of brotherhood chilled him to the bone.

Qingyou said, "They will suffer the consequences of their own actions. I have already dissolved that bad luck charm in water and made the father and son from the second branch drink it."

She gave them a heads-up beforehand, otherwise their parents would probably be quite confused by their consecutive misfortunes.

Liu Yiyi's previously composed face instantly broke into a smile upon hearing this. She grabbed Qingyou's hand and said, "My daughter is so smart, well done!"

Those two vicious and disgusting people should be made to taste the power of the bad luck charm themselves.

Min Zhenyuan was both amused and exasperated. "That's fine too!"

He wasn't a soft-hearted person; even when others were trying to harm him, he would still show mercy.
