Old Madam Ning didn't know. "There are all sorts of rumors. Some say that the female bandit originally liked to kidnap men, some say that she was deceived by men, so she kidnapped men to torture them, and some say that she was possessed by a mountain monster. Only the female bandit herself probably knows the truth."
Possession?
His situation is similar to possession.
However, he didn't forcibly take over other people's bodies; he waited until their lifespan was up before coming.
"Grandmother, you know so much. Grandmother, there must be more than one arrogant person like her, right?"
Although he felt that this female bandit resembled that heartless one, he couldn't be sure that she was the same person until he met her.
Madam Ning said softly, "She wasn't the only one, but that was all in the past. In recent years, only bandits have dared to be as arrogant as her. Even princesses and noble ladies have toned it down."
The Ning family's ancestral home was not in the capital, and the old lady Ning and her family had never lived in the capital. In addition, Sisi was still a child. Even if the old lady Ning heard that Sisi had mortgaged her stepmother's dowry and maids and servants to the gambling den, she would think that Sisi was instigated by the people around her.
Ning Yirong decided to meet that female bandit in a few days.
Meanwhile, after finishing her meal, Feng Chan came to find Grandpa and Grandma Yun. "Grandpa, Grandma, I don't know what happened last night, but Xiao Liu heard someone talking in her ear. I want to go and ask a shaman to come back and take a look at Xiao Liu."
Just as Grandpa Yun was about to say, "All sorceresses are frauds," Grandma Yun looked at him and said, "You're too stupid to do anything now."
Grandpa Yun: "..." This can be a reason? Oh well, he's already pretended to be stupid and lied to them; let them hire a sorceress if they want. However,
"If the sorceress asks you for a few taels of silver, you can decide for yourself. If it's more than ten taels, you should discuss it with Xiao Liu. Also, if the sorceress asks you to do anything strange, you must come back and discuss it with your grandmother and mother-in-law. They have a lot of experience."
"Also, if the sorceress tells Xiao Liu to eat any weird or strange things, you must ask Old Man Mu. Old Man Mu's medical skills are quite good."
...
Grandpa Yun rattled off a whole bunch of instructions.
Feng Chan agreed. "Grandpa, don't worry, I won't listen to what others say."
"Then... then go ahead. Just believe whatever other people say."
"Okay. Grandpa, Grandma, I'm off now."
Grandma Yun: "Let your mother-in-law go with you."
"good."
After leaving Grandpa Yun and Grandma Yun's place, Feng Chan went to find Grandma Sisi.
Grandma Sisi also felt that they should find a shaman to take a look.
There's a famous sorceress in this area.
The fortune teller's surname was Bai, and everyone called her Bai the Fortune Teller.
The old woman was teaching her granddaughter how to do needlework when Fengchan, Sisi's grandmother, and Mazi arrived.
Grandma Sisi first exchanged a few polite words with the White Witch, and then explained the purpose of their visit.
After hearing this, the White Witch immediately said, "You came to me because you trust me, and I'd like to earn this money from you. But I can't lie to you. I've never encountered anything like this before, and I don't know if I can handle it. I need to ask the deities I worship."
Feng Chan: "Thank you for your help."
"It's alright, you guys sit down, I'll go ask."
"good."
A moment later, the White Witch returned. "I asked, and the deity I worship said he can't handle this. Why don't you go ask Abbot Huiming of Jing'an Temple? Abbot Huiming is a highly accomplished monk."
Feng Chan placed a piece of silver on the table. "Thank you for your trouble. Let's go ask Abbot Huiming."
"No trouble at all, I can't accept this money."
"Take it, we can't let you work for nothing."
...
After some polite refusals, the White Witch finally accepted the gift because she saw that Feng Chan was genuinely willing to give it. "You don't need to worry too much. I've met the Sixth Miss, and she looks like a blessed child. Blessed children usually manage to turn bad luck into good."
Feng Chan thought the old woman was right; her daughter was a blessed child. "Thank you for your kind words."
Grandma Sisi: "Then we'll be going, you go ahead with your work."
"Okay, I'll take you."
After Fengchan, Grandma Sisi, and Mazi left, the White Witch whispered, "The Yun family is truly kind."
No sooner had the old woman finished speaking than her granddaughter appeared beside her. "Grandma, why aren't you helping them?"
“It’s not that we don’t want to help, it’s that we can’t. Grandma has met Yun Xiaoliu. Yun Xiaoliu is no ordinary child. Any evil spirit that dares to hang around her must also be no ordinary evil spirit.”
"Is that so? I thought you didn't want to fool them."
The old woman glared at her granddaughter. "It's one thing if others don't believe in your grandmother, but you don't believe in her either. Aren't you my granddaughter?"
The white witch's granddaughter stuck out her tongue.
Meanwhile, Grandma Sisi was also talking to Fengchan about this. "Do you think she's afraid we'll expose her, or is she really unable to handle it?"
"Judging from her expression, she really can't handle it."
"Did Xiao Liu feel unwell this morning?"
"No."
Grandma Sisi felt a little relieved.
When we arrived at Jing'an Temple, Abbot Huiming was there.
Abbot Huiming greatly admired Old Master Yun. The little monk told him that Fengchan and Grandma Sisi wanted to see him, so he let them in.
After Feng Chan and the others entered, they first greeted Abbot Huiming. "Greetings, Abbot."
"Greetings, esteemed three. Please have a seat."
After sitting down, Abbot Huiming first asked if Old Master Yun was feeling better.
