Seeing the adult's expression, Fang Tian didn't dare to greet Hong Xiaoduo. He secretly waved when he saw Hong Xiaoduo turn around.
"Uncle Qing, aren't you going to make him a pot of tea?" Fang Tian asked the steward who had followed him in a low voice.
Zhongqing glanced at him and said, "If the master needs tea, he will naturally give the order."
After saying that, he suddenly remembered something, turned his head and asked, "Hey, you've never been so talkative before. Tell me, is that Miss Hong really that good?"
Look at you all, one, two, three of you. Anyone who didn't know better would think she was a very important guest.
"Uncle Qing, you don't understand our relationship." After saying that, she walked away, showing no intention of explaining further to the steward.
Zhongqing glared at the boy, but wasn't angry. What troubled him now was what was wrong with the master, and the young master was also acting strangely; the young mistress hadn't shown her face since returning for lunch.
The young master is back, and the young mistress is back too. The atmosphere in the manor shouldn't be like this!
Inside the study, Lord Wei asked Hong Xiaoduo to sit for a while, then went to the desk, took something out of his sleeve, folded it up, and started fiddling with it, writing and drawing.
In a short while, he got up, gathered his things, and handed them to Hong Xiaoduo: "These are what you wanted."
Hong Xiaoduo looked and saw that it was a stack of small paper packets, each with a mark on it.
"You picked it up so quickly?" Hong Xiaoduo said as she took the items—ten portions.
"Hmm, what do you need to prepare for your secret technique? Are there any special requirements for the place where you cast the spell? My secret chamber is very secure; you can go down there yourself."
Hong Xiaoduo almost blurted out that she didn't need to prepare anything, just a quiet place where she wouldn't be disturbed.
But I always felt that this was not quite right. Although it is good as long as I can produce a convincing result, I have already said that it is a secret method, so the process should look a bit ritualistic and mysterious.
That's what she thought, but she didn't dare to make it too mystical. She had someone fetch water to wash her hands, lit some light incense, and then picked up a cushion from the chair and placed it in the center of the study. She then sat down cross-legged with the ten small paper packets in her hands.
"Does this old man need to leave?" Wei Junpei asked.
"No need." After saying that, Hong Xiaoduo placed her palms together to cover the paper package in her hands, closed her eyes, and entered the space.
Lord Wei didn't know how long it would take for her to recover, so he simply sat down on a chair to wait.
He was actually quite moved. Having lived to this age and served as an official for so many years, how could he have believed the words of a charlatan? He had never even heard of such a secret technique before, yet he had actually believed it!
Is it because of the grandson? Or because of the person who brought it up?
Lord Wei is actually quite conflicted right now. If her conclusion is correct, it will prove that the Tong'er in the manor is a fake. He is not afraid of conspiracies and tricks, but this result confirms that finding Tong'er will ultimately be a disappointment.
The son is young, but can his wife and daughter-in-law bear such a consequence...?
He was still worried that the girl's diagnosis was wrong, and if so, that he had really misjudged her, and that she was a charlatan...
