Chapter 23



"My grandfather had promised to marry only my grandmother, until one day he went out and picked up a poor woman."

"At first, my grandmother took good care of her, but not long after, the woman took advantage of my grandfather's drunkenness and climbed onto his bed and slept with him..."

"Later, the woman became pregnant and was taken to the imperial palace as a concubine. The child was innocent, and my grandmother often took care of the woman's food and daily life."

"One day, after drinking the soup that my grandmother had someone bring to her, the woman suffered from severe abdominal pain. She eventually gave birth to a dead male fetus and buried it under the locust tree at the door.

The woman had always held a grudge in her heart, so she found a sorcerer who cast a curse on the Zhao family, forbidding the Zhao family from cutting down the old locust tree for generations to come.

Not to mention moving out of this house, all the men of the Zhao family will be tortured by the baby spirits under the locust tree after they are ten and will not live past ten...”

"Since the soup was brought by your grandmother, why did the curse fall on you Zhao men?" Su Qingwan asked calmly.

"Because after the woman got into trouble, my grandfather didn't show much sadness, and there was actually nothing wrong with the soup, it was just that the woman didn't have common sense,

Often two things that conflict with each other are eaten together, and just after drinking my grandmother’s soup…”

"My grandfather didn't believe in evil, so he ordered someone to chop down the locust tree. The moment the axe fell, the man who was chopping down the tree died suddenly and mysteriously..."

Su Qingwan nodded.

"The male fetus has been buried under the locust tree for decades and has long since merged with the tree. As the tree grows taller, the yin energy in the yard becomes heavier."

This is why the devils could not see any ghosts but felt that the mansion was eerie and strange.

"Miss, do you have a solution?" Zhao Yu asked hurriedly with some anticipation.

"Have someone prepare yellow paper, cinnabar, and pens, and place a lamp in the yard. I'll go out and mark the location later."

"Oh, and prepare a pair of fine silver needles."

After hearing this, Zhao Yu pulled the yellow belt in front of the bed, and soon Manager Liu knocked on the door.

Zhao Yu repeated what Su Qingwan had requested, and the shopkeeper immediately ran to prepare it.

Taking advantage of this gap, Su Qingwan went out and asked He Guizi to go back home first, and told Xiao Jingchi that he should come back later tonight, so that they would not report to the police if he was lost.

Shopkeeper Liu quickly prepared the things and asked, "Girl, shall we start now?" The shopkeeper was a little expectant.

"Wait till tonight, I'll check on your young master's illness first."

Shopkeeper Liu asked in confusion: "Are you not going to...perform a ritual?"

"I've already contracted a serious illness, and I still need to treat it."

"Young lady, you also know medicine?" Shopkeeper Liu was a little surprised.

"Medical skills are only good for making a living, and catching ghosts is just a side job."

"So that's how it is..." Shopkeeper Liu wanted to ask more, but was stopped by Su Qingwan's look.

Zhao Yu also looked at Su Qingwan with a lingering look.

Su Qingwan pierced her finger with a silver needle and dripped blood onto cinnabar, then mixed it and dipped it with a brush.

He quickly drew two talismans on the yellow paper, folded them, kept one for himself, and gave the other to Zhao Yu.

"Your name is Ji Yin. Carry this amulet with you, and you won't be easily contaminated by unclean things in the future."

Zhao Yu took the talisman paper and put it away, while Su Qingwan quickly performed acupuncture on his body.

With every injection, Zhao Yu frowned in pain.

Shopkeeper Liu looked at his son, who had been pierced like a honeycomb of coal, with rows of densely packed piercings on both earlobes.

He couldn't help but said, "Girl...does it take so many injections?"

"No need." Su Qingwan answered honestly.

"That......"

"Only two of the injections are for medical treatment, the rest are just for fun."

"I...you...he..." Shopkeeper Liu pointed at Su Qingwan and then at his own son, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"Your son is dishonest. This is a lesson." Su Qingwan patted her head, walked to the table, poured a cup of tea and took a sip.

"That woman is not ignorant of common sense. It must be your grandfather who made the move."

Zhao Yu's heart skipped a beat again.

After hearing this, Shopkeeper Liu withdrew with interest. The Young Master's family didn't want others to know about the subtleties of the matter, which was also the reason why the master trusted him.

"Miss, you are right." Zhao Yu did not keep silent for too long this time. "That woman is thin, dark and ugly. Grandfather feels it is a shame for himself..."

"Huh, is this why your grandmother is willing to forgive your grandfather?"

That woman would not pose any threat to her, otherwise which woman in the world would be so generous as to share her husband with others.

Zhao Yu lay on the bed and nodded slightly.

"I understand your desire to protect the reputation of your ancestors," Su Qingwan said in a deep voice, "Just don't challenge my patience."

She just wanted to see an attitude. At that moment under the locust tree, she knew the cause and effect of the matter. Apart from this incident, the Zhao family was a family of kind people.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have the patience to save him.

"It's Zhao's fault, please don't blame me, young lady."

"Forget it." Su Qingwan stretched out her hand and pulled out the silver needle from the painful point.

I really can't stand the aggrieved and pitiful look of handsome men.

After about half an incense stick of time, Su Qingwan pulled out all the silver needles on Zhao Yu's body and threw them away.

After the last needle was pulled out, Zhao Yu felt his body relax and even warm up.

He hadn't felt heat for a long time.

"You haven't seen the light for a long time. If you go out suddenly, your eyes won't be able to bear it. Find a piece of transparent gauze to cover your eyes.

Wait until your eyes have adjusted before removing them. Also, take the black cloth outside the room off slowly, don’t remove it all at once.”

Su Qingwan gave the doctor's instructions.

Zhao Yuxian looked at Su Qingwan blankly and just nodded.

"I thought it would take at least a while to heal. I didn't expect it to be healed now."

Su Qing hugged her chest with her hands and whispered, "Your doctors in the world are definitely not as good as an old antique like me who has lived for tens of thousands of years."

"What did the girl say?"

"Nothing. I'm hungry. Please prepare some food so I can eat and sleep for a while. I still have physical work to do in the evening."

Zhao Yu hurriedly pulled the yellow belt and asked Manager Liu to prepare a large table of delicious dishes. Su Qingwan ate heartily without caring about her image.

After eating, he leaned on the couch and fell asleep.

......

Zhao Yu looked at Su Qingwan, who didn't have any of the reserve that a girl should have, her mouth slightly open and she was snoring softly.

"Manager Liu, go check whether this Miss Su is married or not."

Shopkeeper Liu looked at the young man with a smile on his face and said, "It's great that the iron tree is blooming..."

"놆, sir."

The Zhao Mansion has a mistress now, and when Madam Zhao knows about it, she will definitely move back from Qingshan Temple immediately.

No, I have to tell my wife first to make her happy.

Shopkeeper Liu thought about it, turned around and went back to the study, quickly wrote a two-meter-long letter, and asked someone to deliver it to his wife as quickly as possible.
