Chapter 610: Just Venting Your Anger

Princess Qing'an was still a little sad.

Princess Ying saw what was on her daughter's mind and wanted to send a nanny to the Zhu family to inquire about the situation, but she never expected that Mrs. Zhu would come to the house with a look of apology.

Mrs. Zhu brought a lot of supplements and asked Princess Qing'an about her health. She also apologized, "Originally, after Yao Xu got better, I should have let her come to visit you. But I didn't expect that Yao Xu seemed to be in a state of terror when she went to the mountains last time. She has been unwilling to go out and see people. I can only apologize to the princess on behalf of Yao Xu."

When Princess Qing'an heard that Zhu Yaoxu was not in a good condition, she became a little worried: "...Is Yaoxu okay?"

Madam Zhu sighed and shook her head, her voice full of worry: "Before I came, Yao Xu had just drunk a bowl of tranquilizing soup and fell asleep. Maybe she was frightened by what happened a few days ago. The child didn't sleep well at night, as if she was in a nightmare... We have to wait a few more days. When Yao Xu is better, I will let her come to talk to the princess."

Princess Qing'an said, "Yao Xu is in great need of help. Madam Zhu is too polite."

After Madam Zhu left, Princess Qing'an was still a little worried and said to Princess Ying, "...I don't know if Yao Xu is blaming me or if something really went wrong."

Princess Ying comforted her daughter: "How can you be blamed for this? Not to mention your status as the top scholar in the imperial examination, there are countless girls who like Lord Xiaoyu's face. Do you want to worry about every girl who likes Lord Xiaoyu?"

Princess Qing'an pursed her lips.

But she was still worried about Zhu Yaoxu. When Xingxing came to see her, she dismissed everyone, took Xingxing's hand, and whispered to Xingxing: "...Yaoxu is my good friend, and I don't know what's wrong with her now. Her mother said that she seems to be in a nightmare...Xingxing, can you help me go and see her?"

Since it was a request from the future sister-in-law, Xingxing accepted it without hesitation.

Xing Xing took out a small machine box with extremely delicate workmanship from her bosom. "This is what my third brother found for the princess to relieve her boredom. My third brother said that the princess had sprained her ankle and couldn't get out of bed, and he was worried that the princess would be bored... This small machine box contains seven kinds of detachable small machines. When the princess is bored, she can take them apart and play with them. It's very interesting."

"Your third brother is thoughtful." Princess Qing'an blushed, took the box, fiddled with it for a while, and gradually found the fun part, "... Hey, it's interesting."

Xing Xing pursed her lips and smiled.

"My brother Bang also played with this kind of box before, but it was not as sophisticated as this one." Xing Xing said, "It took him nearly three or four hours to unlock it. Princess, you can try it."

Princess Qing'an responded with high spirits: "Okay! I'll try!"

When Xingxing left Prince Ying's mansion, Princess Qing'an was still lying on the bed struggling with the mechanism box.

Xingxing thought about it and went to Zhu’s manor again.

Compared with Prince Ying's Mansion and the Yu family's manor, the Zhu family's manor is somewhat small, but it has been renovated very exquisitely, with two brand new big red lanterns hanging at the door.

But Xingxing took a quick look and saw traces of burnt talisman paper at the base of the wall on one side of the manor. She paused and looked at the ashes of the talisman paper. There were some places that were not completely burned. She could barely recognize that they were probably talisman paper for exorcising evil spirits.

Could it be that Zhu Yaoxu was really possessed by evil spirits?

Xingxing asked her maid to knock on the door and delivered her invitation. Not long after, someone came out hurriedly to greet her.

When she saw Madam Zhu, Xing Xing said politely, "Hello, Madam. I apologize for coming so rudely. Please forgive me."

Mrs. Zhu knew Xing Xing, so she said hurriedly, "You are too polite, my Lord. What are you talking about... Are you looking for our Yao Xu?"

Xingxing nodded.

Speaking of Zhu Yaoxu, Mrs. Zhu was obviously a little uncomfortable. She sighed and didn't know how to tell Xingxing: "...I'm sorry that Xiangjun is always thinking about us Yaoxu. I don't know what happened to that child. It's like she has become a different person..."

Mrs. Zhu couldn't continue speaking and let out a long sigh.

She didn't even dare to tell Xingxing that the supplements that were sent from Prince Ying's Mansion earlier, when Zhu Yaoxu heard that they were sent from Prince Ying's Mansion, he simply had someone throw them away.

Xingxing seemed to be thinking about something.

Madam Zhu suddenly hesitated and lowered her voice to say to Xing Xing: "...My Lord, I heard that you exorcised evil spirits for the old lady of Duke Xin. I was too embarrassed to bother you before, could you help me see if our Yao Xu is, is she..."

Mrs. Zhu was a little embarrassed.

Xingxing understood the unfinished meaning behind Mrs. Zhu's words.

What he meant was that he wanted her to see if Zhu Yaoxu had been affected by some "dirty stuff"?

Xingxing recalled that night when her third brother brought back Princess Qing'an and Zhu Yaoxu. Zhu Yaoxu just looked a little pale and didn't look evil at all.

But it was hard to say, so Xing Xing said to Madam Zhu, "Please ask Madam to take me to Miss Zhu's room."

Mrs. Zhu was overjoyed.

In the circle of ladies in the capital, the legend of this Fusui Xiangjun was everywhere. First, it was said that she saved the second daughter of the Prince of Jiping's mansion, then it was said that she saved the old lady of the Duke of Xin's mansion, and finally it was even said that the Crown Princess of the Eastern Palace, who had not been pregnant for many years, finally got pregnant because of her.

All in all, among these rumors, Fukusui Xiangjun is extremely powerful!

When Mrs. Zhu discovered that there was something wrong with Zhu Yaoxu, she had wanted to ask Xingxing for help, but she just didn't know how to start.

Now that Xingxing took the initiative to visit Zhu Yaoxu, Mrs. Zhu was so happy!

Mrs. Zhu took Xingxing to Zhu Yaoxu's yard.

As soon as she entered the yard, Xingxing looked around.

Mrs. Zhu's heart skipped a beat, and her voice trembled: "...My Lord, is there something wrong with this yard?"

"Ah, that's not the case." Xing Xing whispered, "I just think this yard is too quiet..."

Madam Zhu sighed and lowered her voice, "Ever since Yao Xu came back, she can't stand any noise in the yard. I told the maids not to stay in the yard unless necessary, and only left one personal maid to serve Yao Xu, and no one else... It's quiet."

Xingxing nodded, thoughtfully.

Mrs. Zhu took a deep breath, walked to the door, knocked on it, and said in a raised voice: "Yao Xu, the county lord is here to see you."

Zhu Yaoxu's angry voice came from the room: "...No! Go! Get out of here!"

As he was speaking, there seemed to be the sound of a teacup falling against the door.

Mrs. Zhu's expression changed. She was worried about her daughter and wanted to apologize to Xingxing: "Please forgive me, my lord."

Xingxing noticed that Mrs. Zhu's well-maintained face looked tired in the past two or three days, and there was a strand of white hair on her temples. It was easy to imagine how much suffering she was going through.

Xing Xing also sighed: "Madam, I'm fine. How about you leave first, and let me have a good chat with Miss Zhu?"

This yard is very normal, without any evil spirit or anything else.

Xingxing thought that Miss Zhu was not possessed by an evil spirit at all, but rather seemed to be stuck in a dead end, with a lot of resentment accumulated in her chest, and she was just venting her temper.
