Chapter 44: The Dumb Eats Coptis Chinensis



You could hear a pin drop in the courtyard, and everyone's eyes were on Jiang Qian.

Old Madam Feng actually felt a sense of relief.

As expected, the golden chicken in the dream refers to the second girl!

The breeze lifted up Jiang Qian's hair, revealing a pale face.

"How could it be..." Jiang Qian murmured, looking at Xiao blankly.

At this moment, her mind was blank, even her senses were numb, and only one thought lingered in her mind: Wasn't Fairy Liu bribed by her mother? Why did she become the one possessed by the evil spirit?

"Did Fairy make a mistake?" Xiao took a step forward with a sullen face, emphasizing the word "made a mistake".

Liu Xiangu said calmly, "Madam, you are joking. People can make mistakes, but there is no reason why the soul-fixing bell should make mistakes."

"But this shouldn't be..." Xiao's eyes fell on the bell in Liu Xiangu's hand, his brows were tightly locked, and his tone was meaningful, "Is this bell broken?"

Fairy Liu smiled, took two steps forward casually, raised the bell and shook it in front of the Sixth Miss Jiang Pei.

The clear bell sounded again.

She stepped back and rang the bell again at Jiang Qian.

The bell seemed to be mute and made no sound.

The scene fell silent again, and in the silence there was an indescribable awkwardness and awe of the unknown.

"It can't be Qian'er, Fairy Lady—" Xiao clenched her fists tightly, veins bulging on the back of her hands, and she bit the word "Fairy Lady" very hard.

Liu Xiangu bowed to Xiao and said, "Madam, God's will cannot be violated. This is not something I can decide."

She was speaking the truth. If she could make the decision, there wouldn't be so much trouble.

"Since the fairy has found the evil spirit, please perform a ritual to exorcise it." Old Lady Feng urged.

"Old lady——"

"That's enough!" Old Madam Feng interrupted Xiao without any hesitation and said coldly, "You are the one who invited the fairy lady. Don't you agree with this result?"

Xiao's lips trembled and she couldn't utter a word.

Only then did she realize with horror that she had really shot herself in the foot this time.

She was the one who invited the people, and now it has been found out that it was her daughter who harmed the old lady. She can't say that Fairy Liu had accepted money from her privately, right?

For the first time, Xiao experienced the feeling of a dumb person eating coptis root. She looked at Liu Xiangu expressionlessly and said, "Then please do something quickly so that the old lady can recover as soon as possible."

It is true that Fairy Liu has some magical powers, but she does not believe that the old lady's eyes can really be healed by performing a ritual. At that time, she will tell the old lady that Fairy Liu has no real ability and ask her to hire someone else.

Of course, if Fairy Liu had pointed out Jiang Zhan as she had agreed, it would be a different explanation if the old lady’s eyesight did not improve after the ritual.

"Then I'll start." Fairy Liu put the bell in her arms and circled around Jiang Qian, pinching it with her hands.

The others subconsciously moved aside.

Jiang Qian stood there alone, listening to Liu Xiangu's muttering, her pretty face turned pale and red, red and pale, like a color palette.

"Go!" After turning for an unknown amount of time, Fairy Liu suddenly raised her hand and flames rose from her hand.

There were cries of surprise.

The flaming hand fell on Jiang Qian's shoulder.

"Ah——" Jiang Qian screamed uncontrollably.

Unexpectedly, the flame went out without setting Jiang Qian's clothes on fire.

"What is that?"

Old Madam Feng’s eyes narrowed.

A red color gradually appeared on Jiang Qian's shoulders. The red became brighter and brighter, making people think of blood.

After a while, the red color gradually faded and finally disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared.

"Okay, the evil spirit has been eliminated, and the old lady's eye disease will be cured within three days." Fairy Liu took a deep breath and said to Madam Feng with a smile.

"Really?" Old Madam Feng asked impatiently.

Fairy Liu nodded with an unfathomable smile on her face and glanced at Jiang Si in the crowd out of the corner of her eye.

How could she know whether she could get better? It was the young lady who said that.

That day in Tianxiang Teahouse, the young lady said that as long as she did as she was told, the old lady's eye disease would be cured within three days, and she would gain both fame and fortune.

Under pressure from Jialiu, she had no choice but to nod.

"Thank you for your hard work, Fairy." Old Madam Feng smiled sincerely and winked at Ah Fu.

Ah Fu immediately held up a bulging purse.

"I'm tired. Xiao, please entertain the fairy well these two days and don't be impolite." Old Lady Feng instructed.

Since Fairy Liu dared to say in public that her eye disease would be cured within three days, she already believed it to a point. However, since it was a matter concerning herself, it would be most appropriate to let Fairy Liu stay in her house for three days.

Still want to stay?

When Liu Xiangu heard this, she was dumbfounded. If it weren't for the thick skin she had developed over the years, she would have revealed her true colors on the spot.

She glanced at Jiang Si imperceptibly.

The girl standing between the sisters was as bright and beautiful as a blooming crabapple tree. She made the number six gesture with her hand with an expressionless face.

Digging up ancestral graves and spreading gossip!

Liu Xiangu: "..."

"Sorry to bother you." Fairy Liu bowed to Xiao.

"Thank you for being so polite, Fairy. I hope you will forgive me if I have not treated you well enough." Xiao almost gritted her teeth and looked at Fairy Liu with cold eyes.

Madam Feng said unhappily, "Then treat us well."

Xiao was suddenly embarrassed.

The third wife, Mrs. Guo, who was standing by, almost laughed out loud.

She hasn't seen her second sister-in-law so miserable for a long time. The most recent time was because of the fourth girl. Is this going to become the norm?

Well, it makes me happy just thinking about it.

"My daughter-in-law knows."

Old Madam Feng nodded and then looked at Jiang Qian.

Jiang Qian hadn't recovered from the shock yet, and stammered, "Grandma—"

Madam Feng did not hide her disgust on her face, and said calmly: "Second girl, I have told you long ago that you are already married, so don't come back to your parents' home unless necessary, lest the Marquis' Mansion accuse you of not fulfilling your duties as a daughter-in-law."

Jiang Qian swayed slightly, bit her lip and said, "My granddaughter knows."

What had gone wrong between her mother and Liu Xiangu? She would never forget this humiliation.

"Mother Feng, help me into the house. I'll have someone clean up the place."

After Old Madam Feng entered the house, the people standing in the yard dispersed silently. Before leaving, they couldn't help but look at Jiang Qian twice.

From then on, Jiang Qian fell out of favor with the old lady.

Jiang Zhan walked out with Jiang Si and vaguely heard a voice coming from behind: "Second sister, are you okay?"

This is the eldest son Jiang Cang, Jiang Qian’s twin brother.

Jiang Qian whispered something, but the rest of the words could not be heard clearly.

"Hints."

Seeing Jiang Si looking at him, Jiang Zhan curled his lips and said, "If that witch dares to say it's you, I will beat her up on the spot so hard that even my mother can't recognize her. Let's see if she can still play tricks and deceive people!"

Jiang Si smiled and said, "I know my second brother is the best."

Jiang Zhanwan had never expected Jiang Si to be so direct. His ears turned red and he changed the subject: "Fourth sister, you don't believe the nonsense of that witch, right?"

The girl said innocently: "I believe it."

"What?" Jiang Zhan slipped and almost fell.
