Chapter 32 Conspiracy
"Mo'er, what are you thinking about?" Concubine Yan called Tan Tai Mo back from his contemplation.
"I'm thinking about the flower viewing banquet at the princess's mansion next month. Do you want to go?" Tan Tai Mo smiled.
"Go, of course!" Concubine Yan smiled, as charming as the moon, with a little more charm than a young girl, which made her even more attractive.
No wonder she is still favored by the emperor even though she is over 30 years old.
Tan Tai Mo has inherited almost all the advantages of Concubine Yan, and his facial features are even better than hers. Such an excellent man, but his lower body is paralyzed. Not only Concubine Yan, but even the palace maids in Xueruo Palace feel it's a pity.
"My son listens to my mother." Tan Tai Mo has an uncertain personality, but in front of his mother, he is still like a child.
The flower viewing party held by the eldest princess is actually a blind date party in disguise.
However, the flower viewing party of the eldest princess is different from that of the Duke's family.
The flower viewing party of the Duke's family, like the flower viewing parties in other mansions, is mostly for the ladies of each family to chat together. At the flower viewing party of the eldest princess's family, the noble ladies who come to participate must perform a talent.
Those who can be invited to participate in the flower viewing party of the eldest princess are all talented ladies from the official families in the capital.
The eldest prince's principal wife and concubine, and the second prince's concubine were all chosen at the eldest princess's mansion.
"I heard that your third brother will also go. Mother will choose a new set of clothes for you, and you can go with your third brother then." Concubine Yan immediately called the palace people and was busy choosing clothes for her son.
Tan Tai Mo was willing to go out and relax, and Concubine Yan was very happy. Maybe he would meet a woman he liked, and after marriage, he would have a son and live a good life.
Thinking of this, Concubine Yan was both happy and sad.
After leaving Xue Rou Palace, Tan Tai Mo called his personal guard, "Send a copy of the Grand Princess's flower appreciation letter to the fifth lady of the Marquis of Jinyang Mansion."
Tan Tai Mo didn't know what talents the fifth lady of the Marquis of Jinyang Mansion had, but he was actually looking forward to it.
While Tan Tai Mo was looking forward to it, Jian Ruonan's points went up by a lot, and inexplicably he got 20 more points.
Jian Ruonan rarely controlled herself from drawing cards, so she just endured it and let the system upgrade.
She would have to take some time out to visit the manor under her name some other day to test whether the Duozi Pills are useful and improve the living environment of the pigs.
The Xixiayuan family was having a great time, but in the Xishouyuan, there was wailing.
After the doctor examined the patient, he prescribed some tranquilizers and left.
The old lady wore a headband on her head and held her chest with one hand to breathe.
Fortunately, she fainted in time, otherwise the whole mansion would know about her and the groom...
If people knew, where would she put her old face? Would she still be able to live!
That Xiaowu is really weird!
"Mother, is Xiaowu really possessed by the Queen Mother?" Xiao Shi was scared. Thinking of the scene just now, she is still in shock.
The women in the inner house have little knowledge, especially those like Jian Ruonan, who grew up on the farm and was bullied by the farm owner and Aunt Zhou. She looks weak and vulnerable, and she looks like she can't be on the stage. How could she be so calm and composed just now, and act like she was going to kill a god?
Could it be that she was really possessed? !
The old lady rubbed her eyebrows, her appetite was gone, and she said coldly, "Be quiet!"
Xiaowu is not as simple as she seems. Today in the mansion of Duke Ping, she shined. It is said that she has a genius doctor as her teacher, and her medical skills are comparable to those of the current director of the Imperial Hospital. Some people have come to her for medicine.
What happened today is strange everywhere.
Not long after the doctor left, Taoist Li from Qingxu Temple came.
Taoist Priest Li was probably in his forties, wearing a purple-red Taoist robe with a navy blue border. He wore a crescent-shaped crown with a golden orchid crown on his head. His long beard reached his chest, and he looked quite like an immortal.
As soon as Taoist Priest Li entered the room, the old lady seemed to have a backbone, and told her about Jian Ruonan being possessed by the Queen Mother .
Taoist Priest Li shook off the Buddhist dust and asked about the details in detail.
I had never heard of the few scriptures that Jian Ruonan said.
It is written in the "Taishang Tiantan Yuge" that all the true celestial gods will not possess the bodies of living people. Those who are possessed are all evil spirits.
People are very dirty, and immortals will not possess people. The fifth lady of the Marquis's Mansion must have been possessed by evil spirits.
Taoist priest Li asked in a stern voice, "Where is the evil spirit? We, the poor Taoist priest Feng Zhengyi, will capture it!"
Taoist priest Li immediately asked the Taoist boy behind him to take out his peach wood sword and open the altar to exorcise the evil spirit.
Mrs. Wang shuddered with fear, "Taoist priest, the Queen Mother knows everything, how could it be fake?"
The old lady was also a little worried, afraid that Taoist priest Li would go ahead without hesitation, and Xiao Wu would spread the story of her and the groom everywhere.
It would be best to kill him in one blow, and then go fully prepared, so that she could not speak.
The old lady said that after Jian Ruonan was possessed, it seemed that she had opened her eyes and knew everything.
Taoist Priest Li was silent, "This demon has some magical powers, we really need to prepare."
The old lady discussed with Taoist Priest Li, and Taoist Priest Li went back to the Taoist temple to prepare for some time. When the time is right, the old lady will take the person to the Taoist temple and perform magic to exorcise the demon.
After Taoist Priest Li left, the old lady ordered: "Send someone to check the manor to find out how Xiao Wu grew up? What is the current situation in Xixiayuan?"
After a while, a little maid came to report that Xixiayuan was having dinner, and Miss Wu was busy eating as if nothing had happened. Jian Zhang really planned to eat vegetarian food for a year to pray for the old lady, and Min and the eldest lady also began to discuss the matter of copying scriptures.
The old lady was silent.
Is the eldest wife so kind?
As far as she knows, the eldest wife has been plotting against her behind her back. How could she suddenly change her nature?
How is it possible?
The old lady looked at Wang Juhua.
Wang Juhua was still kneeling at the door.
Wang Juhua was the old lady's maidservant, and she was the old lady's closest person. Many of the old lady's shameful methods were done by Wang Juhua, and Wang Juhua knew almost all of the old lady's secrets.
A few years ago, the old lady turned 50 and asked Wang Juhua to redeem her virginity. If she hadn't gotten pregnant secretly, Wang Juhua would have been the most popular person in front of the old lady.
It stands to reason that Wang Juhua couldn't have hooked up with Jian Ruonan, and it was even more impossible for her to hand over her own handle...
The only possibility is that Jian Zhang is behind all this.
As the vice minister of the Ministry of Justice, Jian Zhang could investigate what happened more than 30 years ago. It is very likely that Jian Zhang investigated these things and told Jian Ruonan, asking Jian Ruonan to play tricks!
After figuring it out, the old lady felt refreshed.
Xiao Shi and Jian Chuyun were trembling with fear: "Mother, is there really an evil spirit in the mansion? Why did you let Taoist Li go? You should let Taoist Li catch the evil spirit!"
"You know shit!" The old lady scolded: "Why don't you send someone to check. Why hasn't the second master come back yet?!"
The old lady was worried about her son and didn't eat. She waited for almost an hour before Jian Lang was carried in by the servant in a mess.
Jian Lang was beaten with 20 sticks in prison and his buttocks were beaten open.
He was wearing prison clothes, lying on a board, his lower body was covered in blood, he was beaten and hungry, and he hadn't eaten a grain of rice for a whole day.
Jian Lang had been pampered since he was a child, he had never suffered such hardship, when he was carried in, he was out of breath, he looked weak as if he was about to die.
There was another round of crying in the upper room.
After finally recovering, Jian Lang hugged the old lady and cried: "Mother, my eldest brother really wants to kill me, he clearly recognized it was me, and he wanted to send me to the authorities, he wants to ruin my future and end my chances of living!"
Little Shi wiped away tears.
The old lady scolded: "Cry, you only know how to cry!"
Little Shi cried: "Mother, when my uncle becomes a marquis, our second branch will have no chance to survive."
The old lady sneered: "As long as your uncle is in office, he will never inherit the marquisate."
The old lady's brother Shi Fan was the Minister of Rites of the dynasty. As long as Shi Fan was in office, Jian Zhang would not be able to inherit the marquisate. The old lady
comforted her son: "Don't worry, mother will definitely not let your suffering be in vain!"
