Su Man saw Xu Yuan's dilemma and didn't force him. Instead, she said frankly, "I'm in trouble now. I suspect the evil spirit you mentioned has already returned to the Liu Mansion with us."
"You mean the second young lady?" Xu Yuan blurted out.
Su Man raised her eyebrows, "How do you know?"
Xu Yuan thought for a moment before finally telling the truth. "As the old saying goes, medicine and Yi are inseparable. My grandfather was not only proficient in medicine, but also delved into the Eight Trigrams and the Five Elements. He was even able to predict a person's lifetime illnesses through fortune-telling based on the relationship between Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, and the Yin-Yang theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine. However, this part of his legacy has been lost to me. I only have a medical book left, allowing me to glimpse a bit."
"So that's how it is."
Su Man suddenly realized, but this was already a family secret. Facing Xu Yuan's trust, she said solemnly, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone what you told me."
Xu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, Miss."
"Since you already know that Liu Luoyi is possessed by an evil spirit, do you have any way to break the spell?" Su Man asked the question that concerned her most.
Xu Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "The formation of evil spirits is always accompanied by extremely strong resentment. The best way is to dissolve her resentment. If that is not possible, then we must find what she fears the most."
"for example?"
"For example, if someone was drowned in their lifetime, they will be afraid of water. Or if they were killed by a sword, they will be afraid of swords. If you can return to the place where they died and use the thing they fear most against them, they will be affected by it. Then, you can subdue them."
"Is that so..." Su Man thought thoughtfully.
"Miss, do you want to deal with the second lady on your own? We don't even know her origins. It's too risky to do so." Xu Yuan looked worried.
Su Man smiled soothingly, "Don't worry, I won't do anything I'm not sure of. Just focus on treating Si Xi."
Xu Yuan moved his lips, as if he wanted to say something. However, when he thought of his status, he couldn't intervene in the young lady's affairs. He could only say worriedly, "Young lady, please be careful. If there is anything I can do, Xu Yuan will do it without hesitation."
"Thank you very much."
Although Su Man was smiling, her tone was indescribably polite and distant.
Xu Yuan just nodded slightly and left.

In the next few days, Liu Luoyi stayed indoors, which made Su Man go from being vigilant to suspicious.
Are evil spirits such homebodies?
This situation continued until the imperial city issued an imperial decree to find someone who could save the emperor.
As soon as Su Man heard the news, someone came to tell her that Liu Luoyi wanted to invite her over.
It had been a long time since Su Man had stepped into Yuediexuan. She looked at the snow-covered tree branches in the yard, which were swaying as if they would break under the weight in the next second.
"You're here."
In the cold winter, Liu Luoyi was wearing a thin silk skirt and standing barefoot in the snow.
Su Man pondered her own character and said cautiously, "Yes, do you have any instructions?"
Liu Luoyi lifted her skirt and circled around Su Man. "I called you here because I want to ask you something."
Su Man's heart tightened, "What's the matter?"
"You know..."
Liu Luoyi moved closer to Su Man and asked, "Which skirt is the best?"
“…”
Su Man didn't react for a moment, or rather, she never thought that she would ask this question.
...
Even when Su Man accompanied Liu Luoyi to Qiluoxuan, the most famous silk shop in the capital, she still had an inexplicable feeling.
Su Man: When asked what it's like to go shopping with a ghost, the answer is, it's uncomfortable.
Liu Luoyi took various fabrics and compared them to her body, but she was not satisfied at all.
"Look, which one looks better, the one with threads or the one with water patterns?"
Liu Luoyi was covered in cloth and turned several circles in front of her, her movements light and effortless.
It was obvious that she must be good at dancing. However, Su Man did not say anything and said timidly, "You look good in any of them."
Liu Luoyi thought Su Man was afraid of her and said that, so she snorted coldly, "Coward."
Su Man lowered her head, and her whole body showed, "I am a coward."
After choosing clothes, it’s time to choose jewelry. Unlike the tasteless Liu Luoyi, Liu Luoyi 2.0 has excellent taste and is very familiar with these jewelry fabrics.
Su Man and her maid followed her carrying large and small bags. When she was tired of shopping, they found a teahouse to rest.
Su Man diligently poured tea for her, and the water flowed into the cup. When it was seven-tenths full, Su Man lifted the teapot.
However, Liu Luoyi did not drink it. She just put it to her nose and sniffed it, then pushed it aside with a look of disgust.
Su Man found the opportunity to talk to her, "By the way, how should I call you?"
Liu Luoyi glanced at Su Man and said, "Don't try to be clever in front of me."
Su Man played dumb, "What clever tricks? I just don't want to be rude."
Liu Luoyi's gaze slid across Su Man's face like a knife.
During the stalemate, a voice interrupted the two of them, "Liu Man, why are you here?"
Turning around, it was Fang Tianhe.
There was also a tall man standing next to him. He had a pair of bright eyes, but there was a hint of sinisterness in them.
Su Man recognized him at a glance. This was the third prince, Qi Xing.
"The Third Prince."
Su Man stood up to bow, but Qi Xing held her hand and said, "No need."
Su Man frowned slightly. Even if she was afraid that her salute would attract attention, Qi Xing's action was against the rules. Even Fang Tianhe's face darkened a little.
"Third Prince, let's go inside and talk."
