Fu Zhun gave him a cold stare for a moment, then raised his finger to signal the sword guard to leave.
"I'd like to see what you mean by exorcising demons and evil spirits, so I'll let you go for now. But if you dare utter even the slightest lie, I will not let you off easily."
"There's not a single lie in that. That master will arrive tomorrow, and we'll soon know for sure whether Su An is a human or a ghost!" He Cheng said through gritted teeth, while cautiously retreating towards the door.
Seeing that the surrounding sword guards did not stop him, he immediately turned and left in a sorry state.
But in the instant he turned around, the twisted hatred on his face could no longer be contained and turned into a ferocious rage. "Adulterous couple, how dare you treat me like this, neither of you will get away with this...!"
Heh, even if he can't get rid of Fu Zhun, isn't it also a kind of torture to make the two of them fight and suspect each other?!
Just wait!
"Master, are you really going to let him go?"
After the others had gone some distance, Jianyi stepped forward to ask, puzzled, and was even more surprised that his master had become superstitious about ghosts and gods.
Fu Zhun looked in the direction of the courtyard, tapped the armrest, and said with a cold glint in his eyes, "Send someone to keep an eye on him first. Whether what he said is true or not, we will know tomorrow."
Undeniably, those words did pique his curiosity and desire to explore.
Su An was brought back to life in front of everyone, a situation that even Xie Qingfeng found difficult to explain, attributing it solely to the properties of the royal antidote. But now, upon closer reflection…
"What if Miss Su is truly possessed by some kind of ghost, as the messenger said? What will you do, Master?" Jian Yi's face flashed with worry, and he unusually asked.
Upon hearing this, Fu Zhun's expression was unreadable, and he did not reply, but simply told Jian Yi to step back and make preparations.
Once the room was empty, scenes of Su An from the past flashed through his mind, her every smile and frown captivating.
If Su An is not Su An, then who is she, and where does she come from?
Fu Zhun unconsciously gripped the wheelchair tightly with both hands. He closed his eyes to suppress the urgent desire to know the answer in his heart.
Tomorrow, perhaps we will know the answer.
...
Su An watched He Cheng being driven away and thought everything was fine, but who knew that he would come back the next day.
And they're coming for their own benefit!
Early in the morning, I saw He Cheng striding confidently to his front door, accompanied by an old Taoist priest in strange attire.
The old Taoist priest was dressed in a black Taoist robe, wearing a Bagua crown, holding a peach wood sword, and sporting a mustache. His expression was full of arrogance and inscrutable intent.
"This is the imperial envoy? How dare he come to our house to cause trouble!" Su Ting said, his eyes blazing with anger.
The whole family was startled by the commotion and came out. Su Ting's eyes immediately blazed with fury as he roared.
They had all heard Su Jiang talk about what happened in the courtyard yesterday, so when they saw the messenger at the gate, they were all naturally on high alert.
As Su Ting spoke, he tried to rush forward to drive the man away, but Su An stopped him, narrowing his eyes, "Third brother, don't be impulsive. Let's see what tricks he's trying to play first."
"They're definitely up to no good." Su Jiang said coldly, already holding the stick in her hand again.
"Should we call Prince Brother? Let's beat these bad guys to a pulp!" Little Su Yue ran to Su An's side, clutching a wooden sword, and waved her fist in a protective gesture.
Su An was both amused and exasperated. She tapped her little nose and said, "How can you trouble others with everything? That's not good!"
What made her think was that Fu Zhun hadn't said much to her about He Cheng's matter yesterday.
He was driven away like that, and then came back looking for him.
So what exactly happened during this period?
Li Guihua glanced at her daughter with concern, "Xiao An, perhaps we should stay home and refuse visitors today..."
But before she could finish speaking, He Cheng outside shouted at the top of his lungs, "Fellow villagers, gather around and listen to me!"
"Do you know what happened to Su An of the Su family? It's something that's unheard of and unseen before, completely defying common sense and the laws of life and death!"
The people on the street were already curious about the old Taoist priest beside him, and a large crowd had gathered. When they suddenly heard He Cheng's words, they all started to commotion and quickly surrounded him.
"Are you talking about Boss Su? What's going on?!"
He Cheng's eyes flashed with malice as he looked at the crowd and spoke in a low voice: "I might as well tell you, Su An had a misfortune before. She was wounded by an arrow, and the arrow was coated with a deadly poison. The poison was so potent that an ordinary person would die instantly from even the slightest contact! Su An was the same; she was poisoned to death!"
"What! Are you kidding me? Boss Su is perfectly fine!" The crowd was immediately stunned and shouted.
"If Boss Su was poisoned to death, then who are the people we see every day? This is really just making fun of us!"
"Heh." He Cheng chuckled coldly. "That's right. The strange thing is that Su An clearly died from a deadly poison, but only half a month later, Su An miraculously woke up! And became the person you see now!"
These words caused everyone's expressions to change drastically, and a deathly silence fell over them.
Before they could even question it, He Cheng continued with a cold laugh: "To come back from the dead? How could a normal person do that? What happened to her in the past two weeks? There must have been some evil spirit that entered her body while she was dead, allowing her to return to life!"
"Haven't you noticed that she is no longer the obedient and gentle Su An she once was, but a walking corpse controlled by evil spirits! Her personality has changed drastically, she is showing her face in public, acting recklessly in the county, and deceiving you!"
"Xiao An...how could he know all this?!"
Inside the shop, the family's faces turned deathly pale when He Cheng spoke, and Li Guihua grabbed Su An's hand in disbelief.
No one but their family knew about this resurrection!
However, Su An was also dumbfounded, his head buzzing.
"he……"
No, her family doesn't know that this messenger is He Cheng yet. How is she supposed to explain this to them in the short term?
Even more bizarrely, how did He Cheng know that he had died from poisoning once? Could it be information leaked to him by the emperor?
After all, the emperor must have known that Fu Zhun went to the palace to ask for medicine for her!
So this scumbag of a man staged a ghost-catching charade to get rid of me?!
"Impossible! You're just making things up, why should we believe you?" At this moment, someone in the silent crowd reacted and asked in shock.
He Cheng directly brandished the royal token and shouted, "As an envoy of the imperial court, entrusted with a great responsibility by His Majesty, how could I falsely accuse a woman without cause? It's just that Su An's behavior is too strange, making one suspicious!"
"Su An may have been just an ordinary woman in the past, but what about now? She dares to get so close to the Prince of Zhenbei. Where does a commoner like her get such courage?"
"There must be some evil spirit manipulating things in the dark, trying to bewitch the Prince of Zhenbei and also the people of our entire Fuyou County! Have you all forgotten the disasters that have happened because of Su An these past few days?!"
