Chapter 95 Lu Yanxiu is imprisoned

Just as the situation here calmed down, there was another incident there.

Li Yuan's servant found a straw woven doll behind the plaque in the hall of Lu's mansion.

The doll was wearing bright yellow fabric, with bloodstains wrapped on the front, and several silver needles pierced on the back.

Liu's legs softened when she heard this.

"You said that evil thing was found in the main hall?"

Liu Qiuqiu's eyelashes fluttered, and she hugged Ji'er tighter, tilting her ears to listen to their conversation.

"It's absolutely true! Madam, Steward Lin has already sent someone to invite people from the Dali Temple. I'm afraid this matter... We servants also find it strange. Steward Lin clearly said that he wanted to find something that Su He left behind? How did he find the main hall?"

Liu's eyes sank, and she ignored Liu Qiuqiu and walked directly to the main hall, asking, "Where's Yan Xiu? Why hasn't he come back yet? His son is gone, and his home is about to be lost! Why doesn't he come back to take a look?"

"Madam, the young master went to Lord Su's house to attend a birthday banquet..."

"That idiot!"

Since she had already divorced Su He and separated, why did she go to celebrate the birthday of her former father-in-law?

Cursing in her heart, she had already arrived in the hall while thinking.

Steward Lin sat quietly on a pearwood chair, calmly drinking tea. When he saw Liu coming, he asked someone to put the rag doll he had found on the table for her to examine.

"Does the old lady have any impression of this?"

Liu took a serious look and was suddenly surprised.

The facial contour of the rag doll was somewhat similar to hers?

But it was wearing bright yellow fabric, and anyone with a discerning eye would know what it was. Even if she said it was her, no one would believe it.

But the premise is, who put the rag doll behind the plaque?

"I have never seen it. You kept saying that you were looking for something lost for Su He, but you found such a cursed thing after searching for so long. Who knows what your intentions are?"

Liu was unwilling to lose her dignity in front of a steward, so she walked up to the high chair and sat down, looking at him with contempt.

With his back against Li Yuan, Steward Lin was not afraid of her. He

just had to speak respectfully because she was his elder.

"To reply to the old lady, I have sent people to find the jewelry that the young lady left behind in your mansion. This rag doll was just an unexpected find... When I looked at the rag doll, I felt that it looked familiar. I immediately thought of the fact that the emperor has been bedridden for many days, and the magic pills and soups have not worked. Could it be that he was affected by this Yin magic thing?"

Steward Lin used to work in the Princess's Mansion, and he was in charge of the entire mansion. He had met the emperor several times before, and praised him for his good governance, which saved the princess a lot of trouble, and therefore received several rewards.

Therefore, Steward Lin was sincere to the emperor. How can

we just let it go when such items were found in Lu's mansion for no reason today?

When Liu heard that His Majesty had said it for the second time, she was immediately frightened and explained in a hurry: "Butler Lin, don't talk nonsense! This is just an ordinary rag doll, how can it be linked to Yin magic? Moreover, His Majesty is in good health, which is a blessing for our country! How can I, a woman from a distant family, do such a treasonous thing?"

"I never said that it was hidden by the old lady. Didn't the second young master of your mansion suffer a few days ago?"

This statement was considered to be a clear indication.

In the cheating case, Lu Zhili's career was damaged and the Lu mansion was disgraced. It was really sad to rely on Lu Yanxiu alone to support the family. It was rumored that he had surrendered to the second prince. Since he had found a master, he naturally had to do something for the master.

"You... are talking nonsense!"

Liu was so angry that her teeth were itching. Just as she was about to retort, a figure appeared outside the mansion.

Lu Yanxiu finally appeared and hurried to Liu's side. He stared at Steward Lin with his sharp eyes and shouted, "Even if Su He left something behind, just come and look for it. Why do you have to embarrass my grandmother?"

When his eyes fell on the rag doll on the table, he froze.

"What is this?"

Steward Lin said, "Master Lu, this item was found behind the plaque in the main hall of your mansion. It is the witchcraft that is expressly prohibited by the current dynasty. This is a serious matter. I have already sent someone to report to the Dali Temple and ask them to make the decision!"

Bright yellow fabric, shining silver needles...

"Witchcraft..."

Lu Yanxiu's eyes moved slightly, and he couldn't help but remember that he had seen this item in front of Liu Qiuqiu.

At that time, it was just a semi-finished product.

"Madam, someone is outside!" The gatekeeper shouted all the way.

Liu couldn't help but scolded, "What is this? It's so unruly? Get out of the house tomorrow!"

Then she turned to Lu Yanxiu and asked anxiously, "Do you know about this thing?"

"I..."

Lu Yanxiu hesitated and didn't answer.

The Dali Temple has already sent people.

Lu Yanxiu only felt a buzzing in his ears, and his head was like a bell being struck, making a continuous muffled sound.

Su He's calm appearance appeared in front of him.

Was it... a trap set by her?

How dare she?

How dare she?

"Lu's family tried to use witchcraft to curse the emperor! The people involved in the case will be arrested and brought to justice!"

Liu screamed, "Don't take my grandson away!"

The official of the Dali Temple handcuffed Lu Yanxiu's hands behind his back, and took him away without allowing him to explain.

Liu was so anxious that she turned around with her crutches, but she couldn't change the situation.

Housekeeper Lin looked at the mess in the courtyard and remembered that when the young lady was in Lu's mansion, they drove her around and served her, and she managed the mansion well. It's a pity that it's not so good now.

Lu Yanxiu was taken to the Dali Temple for temporary detention.

The witchcraft is still under investigation and will not be convicted at will.

Those who should leave have left, and the main hall finally quieted down.

Liu knelt on the ground and cried breathlessly. When she saw Lu Zhili, who was late, her past hopes disappeared without a trace.

Let's not worry about what the rag doll is used for.

If the words of Steward Lin alone were to get out, the four words "cursing the emperor" could cost the lives of their entire family!

"It's all over now..."

Liu burst into tears, her body seemed paralyzed, and she couldn't get up.

Liu Qiuqiu, who had been hiding behind the stone pillar, came forward slowly and tried to help her, but was pushed hard.

Liu pointed at her with her cane and asked with her back teeth bitten: "It's you! You cursed me behind my back? You thought that after I die, you can swallow up the Lu Mansion, right?"

"I... I didn't! Grandmother is innocent!"

Liu Qiuqiu knelt on the ground, her forehead against the floor, not daring to move an inch.

Liu was right.

She wanted to take charge of the family, but the old things were delayed in handing over.

She didn't want to live in poverty in the Lu family anymore. In order to get the power of the family as soon as possible and the private treasury hidden behind the Liu family, Liu Qiuqiu had no choice but to resort to this last resort.

But she didn't expect that it would bring such a big disaster!

Lu Yanxiu was imprisoned, the rag doll became a curse on the emperor, and the Lu family... would never get back on its feet.

Liu Qiuqiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she had arranged Ji'er in advance, so that he would be spared a burden. Reincarnation as soon as possible would be his best destination!
