Chapter 433 Miaojiang Curse The
dusk was thick.
The atmosphere in the carriage was weird.
Yu Tingwan was silent all the way. When the wheels were about to stop, he threw down the military book in his hand and walked out of the carriage. After stepping on the footstool to get off the carriage, he climbed the stairs without looking back.
The military book was very thick, with dense annotations by Wei Zhao and strategies he occasionally wrote on a whim.
Can you understand
it? No.
Is she a hard-working person?
No.
Wei Zhao saw that Yu Tingwan had taken the book all the way but had not turned a page.
He knew that he was finished.
Yu Tingwan entered the mansion and was not in a hurry to go back. He first asked the maid who was guarding the gate.
"Is the mother-in-law back?"
The maid bowed respectfully: "Yes, the mistress came back half an incense stick ago."
"But the mistress changed her clothes, not the ones she wore before going out. I heard that her clothes got wet when she was boating in the lake."
The maids in Shunguo Mansion are very perceptive and observant.
"Although the weather is warm, it is still humid at night. The servant Ru who serves the mistress ordered her to cook a bowl of ginger tea and send it over."
Yu Tingwan knew what was going on.
"She is not cold, but the mistress was not in good health before. She has regained some weight in her face after these days of recuperation. She looks energetic and her pulse is stable. But it is rare for her to go out for a day, so she must be tired."
Everyone knows that Ning Suchan has a regular schedule. Not only does she go to bed early, but she also has a fixed meal time every day.
Yu Tingwan calculated the sky at this moment.
"Tell the servants who will sweep the dust in the main courtyard tomorrow morning to move slowly and let the mistress sleep a little longer, so as not to disturb her. The kitchen will try to make the breakfast light and easy to digest."
"Yes."
Yu Tingwan walked in.
But before entering Lanyuan, she saw a servant waiting outside the courtyard to report something.
Yu Tingwan did not stop and nodded to the man.
The other party followed her in and said respectfully.
"I shouldn't have disturbed you at this hour, but... there are a few things I feel I need to mention to you."
There are many trivial matters in the huge Duke's Mansion. The housekeepers who can make decisions will make decisions, but some things still need to be reported to the higher-ups.
"Tell me."
The housekeeper said respectfully: "There are ten shops connected together in a good location on Jinxiu Road in Jiangnan. In the early years, the mistress made the decision to open up all of them to do fur business."
When she said this, Yu Tingwan paused.
She knew!
That shop is making a lot of money!!!
Unlike her carelessness just now, she was very serious now.
"What? Is someone causing trouble?"
"Of course, no one dares to cause trouble in the Wei family's shop. Even during the transportation a few years ago, some bandits targeted it with the intention of robbing it. When they learned that it was the goods of our Shunguo Mansion, they were so scared that they ran away."
The housekeeper said, "Madam, you must know that high-quality fur is not easy to come by, and the process is complicated. It involves cleaning, tanning, dyeing, etc., and the transportation cost is high, and it is very easy to damage."
"Our business is steady and solid, and we never make a single transaction. Although the price is high, the quality is worth it. The ladies in the palace and the royal relatives who come to Beijing are willing to buy it."
"This old servant got the news from Jiangnan. Not long ago, I got a silver fox skin. It is smooth and soft. It is just right for making a cloak."
But here is the problem.
"I don't know where the fifth prince's wife got the news from, but she specifically asked to buy it."
"Just before this, there was news from the palace that the pregnant Lipin also took a fancy to it."
One is the favorite concubine in the palace, and the other is the fifth prince's wife.
Lipin loves to be the best, and she got carried away by her pregnancy.
The Fifth Prince's wife is not a humble person, and she has always been narrow-minded. How could she let a little concubine who knows nothing climb over her?
"It's a stalemate."
Both parties put pressure on the shopkeeper.
The housekeeper said: "The shopkeeper is afraid of offending people, so he dare not make the decision. He can't sell it or not. I sent a message to bring the cloak with me, and let you decide."
As she spoke, she presented the silver fox fur on the tray in her hand.
Yu Tingwan wanted to say, never mind.
The emperor is in trouble, how dare those two people fight for a cloak?
But when the words came to her lips, she felt that these two people really needed a beating.
Yu Tingwan raised her hand and touched it.
"Tan Jiang, take it."
Tan Jiang agreed and took the tray from the housekeeper.
Not long after Yu Tingwan returned to the house, Wei Zhao came in with a bunch of small things bought from the stall.
Yu Tingwan suddenly raised her eyes and smiled at him gently.
Wei Zhao was silent for a moment.
He chose to take a step back.
"I..."
He just said one word. Rong Di came back, his face was very ugly.
Business is important.
Wei Zhao gathered his mind: "How is it?"
"The palace is heavily guarded, but if something happens, it will be a mess."
Rong Di did not dare to trespass, for fear of running into those shadows.
But others can.
Several important officials in the court have entered the palace to thoroughly investigate the cause of the fire. It was not difficult for the Grand Tutor to meet Baopu.
"When Baopu saw the box sent by the Grand Tutor, he only took a glance at the spell on the lock and said that there was something strange in it."
Baopu also opened the box and studied it.
"Inside was a doll that looked 80% similar to the Madam. The doll had blood on the corner of its mouth and a distorted expression. The Madam's eight characters were engraved on its back. There were also dozens of silver needles."
"The spells on the wall of the box were densely packed. According to Baopu, it was a Miaojiang spell. The person who cast the spell was very capable."
"This kind of spell is easy to backfire, and not many people dare to cast it."
It can be seen that either Yang Jingshu gave too much, or the other party owed her a favor, or that person... was too confident in his strength and thought that no one could break it.
Unfortunately, he met Baopu.
"Baopu said that if he took a few more strands of the Madam's hair and asked the person behind him to do it, the contract would be completed. If the doll and the Madam were too close, they would sense each other after a long time."
Of course, this required that Yu Tingwan did not wear the amulet.
So, this thing was useless to her at all!
"The Grand Master's face changed at that time, and he asked Baopu to remove the curse."
"A new doll was made, and one was replaced by another."
After a series of operations.
"It has been buried in the palace."
As for the doll that had been removed from the curse, the eight characters on it had been scratched and taken away by Rong Di.
"My subordinate went to find Master Ge."
"Master Ge took a look and told me that acupuncture can save people or harm people. The medical book "Acupuncture and Moxibustion Jia Yi Jing" emphasizes that "puncturing the five internal organs will cause death." Those needles involved the heart, liver, spleen, lungs and other vital parts, and they were inserted too deep, which would not only cause dizziness and chest tightness, but also... accidents over time. The silver needles have been processed and are stained with venom, which is easy to get infected and suppurated."
Wei Zhao's eyes suddenly turned cold, his knuckles were pinched blue and white, and the air pressure around him was like a cold blade unsheathed.
"I know."
Rong Di handed over another letter.
"It was sent by someone from Prince Yan, and I need you to reply, General."
Wei Zhao pursed his lips and opened it.
Yu Tingwan saw it.
It's amazing, the hands that opened the letter coordinated so naturally, there was no sign of injury at all.
