Facing strange looks from everyone in the mansion, Jiang Qian had no choice but to stay in the mansion even though she was full of doubts and grievances. She exchanged glances with Xiao and left in a hurry.
Xiao was in charge of entertaining Liu Xiangu, and soon had a chance to be alone.
At this point, she could no longer hold back and immediately asked, "Fairy, what on earth is going on?"
Liu Xiangu was as steady as a rock: "This result was beyond my expectation."
"What do you mean, Fairy? This is different from what we agreed on before!" Xiao saw that Fairy Liu was still playing coy, and her anger burned even more fiercely, "Could it be that Fairy thinks the tea money is too little?"
"Madam, you have misunderstood." Liu Xiangu sighed, "It is really God's will that cannot be violated."
"What is God's will?"
Liu Xiangu put on an unfathomable look: "Originally, I thought of Madam's sincerity and wanted to help Madam get things done. But Madam also knows that I rely on communicating with ghosts and gods to make a living, and since you want me to do so today, I have no choice but to obey."
"What gods, ghosts? Didn't we agree in advance that the old lady was harmed by evil spirits?" Xiao asked with a sullen face.
Immortal Liu suddenly reached out and held Xiao's hand, her expression extremely serious: "There really is an evil spirit possessed by the Crown Prince's wife!"
Xiao was so frightened that she shuddered and suddenly shook off Liu Xiangu's hand. Her face turned from green to white: "What nonsense are you talking about, Xiangu!"
Liu Xiangu sneered: "Does Madam think that I am just a charlatan who is cheating people?"
When there was no trace of smile on Liu Xiangu's face, that sage-like feeling was completely gone.
She had high cheekbones, a thin and pointed chin, and cold and deep eyes, making her look rather eerie.
Xiao was startled.
How could she forget that the reason her sister-in-law was familiar with Liu Xiangu was because Liu Xiangu had collected the soul of her nephew many years ago.
This Fairy Liu really has real abilities!
But she originally claimed that there was an evil spirit interfering with the old lady as a pretext to divert the bad luck away, so how come there really was an evil spirit possessing Qian'er in the end?
Xiao was extremely frightened after thinking about it, and could not help but look at Liu Xiangu.
Liu Xiangu sighed: "So it is said that everything is predestined. How dare I go against the will of heaven for a few mundane things?"
"Can the old lady's eye disease really be cured within three days?"
Xiangu Liu hesitated for a moment.
Xiao was very sensitive and sneered, "Then I will wait and see the miracle performed by the fairy in three days!"
She said nothing and walked away angrily.
Fairy Liu sat down on a cushioned chair, picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea and took a few sips, feeling a little scared.
She was really going to be tortured to death by that girl!
"Fairy, should we put our things away?" The little girl stood at the door carrying a small bag.
"Whatever you want to collect, just put it there." Liu Xiangu pointed casually.
She should be prepared to be kicked out at any time. There is nothing to pack.
These three days really felt like a year.
Xiao was naturally skeptical about what Liu Xiangu said, so she simply wrote two letters, one to Jiang Qian to comfort her, and the other to her sister-in-law at her natal family.
The eldest sister-in-law of the Xiao family soon came under the pretext of visiting Old Madam Feng, and the two aunts and sisters-in-law got the opportunity to have a secret talk.
"Sister-in-law, tell me the truth, how capable is Liu Xiangu?"
Xiao's eldest sister-in-law already knew what happened in the Bo's Mansion, and she felt a little embarrassed when facing Xiao: "It's very useful to collect the soul of a frightened child."
"Can her magic to exorcise evil spirits really cure the old lady's eye disease?"
The eldest sister-in-law of the Xiao family laughed dryly: "It's hard to say. The old lady's eye disease did come on suddenly. It's hard to say what the reason is."
Xiao closed her eyes, the more she thought about it, the more she hated him: "I always feel like I was tricked by Liu Xiangu!"
But there were still some things she couldn't figure out.
She had promised in advance that she would give Liu Xiangu a large sum of money after the success. Why did Liu Xiangu have a problem with the money?
Xiao opened his eyes, and a gleam of light flashed in them.
It was Liu Xiangu who dealt with ghosts and gods, not her.
Be it God's will or human error, she invited someone here and was bitten back. This account must be settled after this storm is over.
"In fact, there is still a chance to help Qian'er regain the old lady's favor."
Xiao looked at Xiao's eldest sister-in-law.
The eldest sister-in-law of the Xiao family glanced at the door subconsciously and lowered her voice: "What if the old lady's eyes don't get better within three days?"
"You mean—"
"If the old lady's eyesight is not getting better, then Fairy Liu is just a liar, and then the claim that Qian'er is possessed by an evil spirit is naturally untenable."
Xiao was silent for a moment.
It was true that she was currently the housekeeper of the Bo Mansion, but the old lady had other arrangements for food, clothing and other expenses, so it was difficult for her to interfere. She could still vividly remember how old lady Feng splashed tea all over her face when she was trying to find out information from Ci Xin Hall a few days ago.
"Madam, the master is here." The maid's voice came from outside the door.
Soon the door opened and Mr. Jiang walked in with a sullen face.
"Sister-in-law is here." Seeing the eldest sister-in-law of the Xiao family, Mr. Jiang Er responded.
Xiao's eldest sister-in-law stood up hurriedly: "There are still many things to do at home, I will go back first."
Jiang Er Laoye still had little enthusiasm for Xiao's eldest sister-in-law. When the others left, his face was even colder: "Look at what you have done! When did a family like us need to invite a witch to come to our house to trick us? Now, a basin of dirty water has been poured on Qian'er and she can't even wash it off. If this gets out, how can you let Qian'er deal with herself in front of her husband's family?"
"I, I didn't expect it to turn out like this—"
Elder Jiang II ignored Xiao's embarrassment and said coldly, "That fairy Liu was recommended by your sister-in-law, right? Don't have any contact with her in the future!"
Xiao's face suddenly turned red.
She was born in an ordinary family, and her dignity was given to her by her husband and children. Now that Mr. Jiang Er said this, it was undoubtedly a slap in her face.
"The servants in our mansion must be warned not to let this matter get out. As for Qian'er, you should write a letter immediately to remind her not to show any abnormality in the mansion. Mother is a person who considers the overall situation. After this incident, no matter what she thinks of Qian'er, she will consider Qian'er's situation in the mansion."
Xiao nodded repeatedly.
It was painful and frustrating to lift a stone and drop it on one's foot, but the most urgent task was to minimize the impact of this incident and not affect Qian'er's position in the Marquis' Mansion.
The next day came in a blink of an eye. Xiao and others went to Cixintang to pay their respects but did not see Madam Feng.
Xiao went to the board of directors to take care of the housework, and a maid came in hurriedly: "Second Madam, something happened!"
"What's the matter?" This is what Xiao was most afraid of hearing, and her heart suddenly rose to her throat.
"The news of the fairy's magic yesterday has spread. Now a casino has set up a game, betting on whether the old lady's eyes can be cured within three days!"
"What?" Xiao's eyes went dark and he passed out.
