Chapter 272: It is better to rely on yourself than on Buddha
Nightfall.
Old Madam Su has fallen asleep.
At some point, it started to rain and the rustling sound was endless.
She was woken up in a daze and felt inexplicably anxious.
I wanted to call the maid, but my eyelids felt heavy and my throat was blocked.
She suddenly realized that something was wrong.
I could vaguely hear the sound of dripping water coming from far away, as if it was dripping into the house along with the sound of footsteps.
She forced her eyes open and saw a wet figure with a pale face and dark eyes staring at her.
"Ah!" She was startled and screamed suddenly.
The maid who was on night watch got up quickly, lit the light, and went into the house to check.
The old lady huddled in the corner of the bed, waving her hands, trying hard to drive something away.
Aunt Zhao stepped forward and gently grabbed her wrist: "Madam, Madam."
Old Man Su slowly came back to his senses. Seeing the lights on and familiar people in front of him, he calmed down a little.
"Is it raining?"
Aunt Zhao was surprised: "No, the sky outside is full of stars."
The old lady breathed rapidly and closed her eyes slightly. Was everything just now a dream?
But this dream was too real.
Madam Zhao signaled the others to leave and whispered, "Old Madam, it's alright, you can take a rest, I will keep watch."
The old lady squeezed out a voice from her throat: "I saw her."
At first, Nanny Zhao had no idea who she was talking about, but when she saw how frightened and panicked she was, she suddenly knew who it was.
My heart skipped a beat and I subconsciously looked around.
"No, it's been so many years, she must have been reincarnated long ago, don't worry."
"…You have a point."
The old lady murmured and lay down again.
…
Cheng Zishan glanced at the Buddha statue on the altar, picked up a handkerchief and covered it with it.
There were seven or eight candles lit in the inner room, the bright light illuminated her sinister smile.
"What kind of Buddha are you worshipping? How can praying to Buddha compare to praying to yourself?"
"You old woman, you dare to scold me, I'll teach you a lesson."
For three nights in a row, the old lady had nightmares. Not only did the condition show no signs of improvement, but it became increasingly worse.
Yu Shengsheng waited patiently.
"Miss," Jin Baobao came in carrying a food box, "the old lady is looking for a doctor."
These past two days, apart from taking the food box, Golden Leopard has been staring at the old lady's yard.
"It seems like she can't hold on any longer," Yu Shengsheng looked at herself in the mirror, "I don't know what Cheng Zishan gave her."
Jin Baobao blinked: "Miss, I have an idea, maybe I can find it."
"What? Tell me about it."
Jin Baobao whispered something in her ear.
Yu Shengsheng couldn't help but smile: "You devilish girl, okay, I'll do as you say."
"After I find out everything, I should meet Cheng Zishan."
Golden Leopard turned and walked out, Green Lake quickly following.
"Leopard, I want to help too."
"Okay," Jin Baobao agreed after thinking for a while, "Let's spread the news and lure Cheng Zishan out of the hospital. You keep watch while I go look for her in her room."
"good."
Although Cheng Zishan was copying scriptures, her mind was not on this at all. She was always paying attention to what was happening outside.
That thing is very powerful. It only takes seven days for the old lady to become mentally confused and mentally ill. Even if she recovers in the future, she will be weak and suffer from headaches and other illnesses.
Suddenly, I heard the sound of maids talking outside the wall, and it sounded like they were in the old lady's yard.
When she heard this, she couldn't help but put down her pen.
A quarter of an hour later.
Jin Baobao and Lu Hu came to see Yu Shengsheng with a package.
"Miss, I got it!"
"It was hidden in the compartment of her dressing table. There were several more packages. I was afraid she would find it, so I poured out a little from each package and took out these."
"Smart," Yu Shengsheng took the paper package and opened it carefully.
Green Lake couldn't help but remind: "Miss, be careful, this is not a good thing."
Yu Shengsheng nodded. There was light pink powder inside, and a faint fragrance. Just from the color and smell, it didn't look like it was poisonous.
She put the things away and planned to go to Zhenqiao Tower someday to let Fu Qingyin see them.
Lu Hu pursed her lips and wanted to remind Yu Shengsheng what this was, but as the niece of a country tenant, she was not supposed to understand these things.
I had to bear it.
Tonight is the fourth night and also the most important turning point night.
Cheng Zishan wanted to witness it with her own eyes to see how the old lady went crazy.
After nightfall, she changed her clothes, put on a black cloak, and rushed to the old lady's yard.
She was not valued by the Su family, and there was the emperor's decree first. There were only two maids doing chores in the yard, and they went to the side rooms to sleep early, and no one took care of her at all.
This is convenient.
Cheng Zishan couldn't ask for more.
She walked out of the hospital quickly, looking clearly at the green lake on the treetops, sneered silently, and then let the pigeon go.
Inside the Zhenqiao Tower, Hei Bai had not yet recovered his energy and was grilling meat in front of the fire.
Wu Chang frowned and looked at him: "It's burnt."
Hei Bai was annoyed: "If it's burnt, just eat it. You've eaten all kinds of it before? Now you're being pretentious."
Wuchang: “???”
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Hei Bai got even angrier: "I can't even have a fight with you, it's pointless."
Wu Chang suddenly turned around and said to Hei Bai: "Hey, I just said one thing, and you are still unhappy?"
Before he finished speaking, he stood up and walked to the window. Pigeons flew across the night sky.
Fu Qingyin had his eyes slightly closed and was sitting in a chair, resting.
Hei Bai knocked on the door and poked his head in: "Master, there is news from Green Lake."
Fu Qingyin opened his eyes, and Hei Bai came over quickly: "It's not just news, there's something else, take a look."
When Fu Qingyin unfolded the note and saw its contents, his face darkened. When he opened it again and looked at the tiny bit of powder, his face became even colder.
"Master, this..." When Hei Bai saw the powder clearly, his expression changed slightly.
The thing that Fu Qingyin had his secret guards use on the queen to make her unable to sleep and tormented her every night was similar to this.
Hei Bai whispered, "Very similar, but not the same."
Fu Qingyin narrowed his eyes slightly: "Interesting, Yu Shengsheng said she is not simple, it seems to be true."
This couldn't have appeared suddenly. How could Cheng Zishan, a girl in the boudoir, have such a thing?
She can also use it on the old lady. You know, Old Lady Su is not an easy person to deal with and she is very careful with everything.
Fu Qingyin held the letter paper and thought to himself.
Perhaps, when Cheng Zishan fled to the Su Mansion, it was not just a panic choice.
She had a purpose, or was sure that she could stay in the Su family.
If he had not taken action against Su Dingqin for bullying Yu Shengsheng, and had not asked for an imperial decree to grant a marriage between Cheng Zishan and Su Yanshu, then what method would Cheng Zishan use to keep her?
Fu Qingyin's eyes were filled with coldness - haha, in the end, was he the one being used by Cheng Zishan?
How audacious!
Seeing that he remained silent for a long time, Hei Bai could not help but ask in a low voice: "Master, should I send someone to take a look?"
Fu Qingyin flicked his finger, and the note fell onto the candle flame and burned to ashes in an instant.
"No need, I will go by myself."
