Chapter 173: Falling into Her Trick Again
Zijuan didn't even look at her and spoke to herself.
"Madam, wanting to be known as a virtuous woman, took the initiative to take a concubine for the Master. However, Madam is deeply jealous and cannot tolerate anyone else giving birth to the Master's children. Not only did she hide these infertile poisons in the concubines' courtyards, she also tampered with the incense burning in the house whenever the Master came. With all these measures, the concubines remained silent..."
Fang cursed, "Bitch, if you dare to talk nonsense again, I will tear your mouth off!"
Zijuan ignored her and said, "I am not talking nonsense. I have evidence. There is a prescription in Madam's room, hidden in a red lacquered wooden box in the corner of Madam's wardrobe. Master, you can send someone to get it."
Fang's eyes widened instantly when she heard this.
Zijuan took care of her clothes and jewelry, and she had completely forgotten the existence of the recipe.
This bitch dared to stand up and identify me in public, it must be because she was absolutely sure that the recipe had been preserved to this day and had not been destroyed!
In an instant, Fang felt a chill running from the soles of her feet to her head, and she could hardly stand.
She stared at Zijuan with hatred, as if she wanted to eat her alive.
"Zijuan, I've treated you well, why did you frame me like this? Who bribed you?"
Zijuan said with a resolute expression, "Madam, no one has bribed me. I just feel guilty and am coming forward to expose this."
Fang was so angry that she vomited blood.
This bitch, after this is over, I will definitely skin her alive!
The people sent by Lu Guanxuan quickly brought back a box. The box had probably not been opened for a long time and was covered with dust.
Lu Guanxuan ordered someone to open it, and sure enough, there was a prescription inside.
Over time, the paper had turned slightly yellow. Lu Guanxuan picked it up carefully, and the scraps of paper fell off.
The handwriting on it was already blurred, and he could only stare wide-eyed and try hard to make out the words.
A full cup of tea had passed before he angrily crushed the prescription.
He saw clearly that it clearly stated the several medicinal herbs that the court physician had just mentioned!
"Bitch!"
Fang weakly defended herself, "I am innocent, Master, I am truly innocent!"
"The evidence is right in front of you. What's wrong with you? This recipe is very old and cannot be forged by humans."
Fang pointed at Zijuan and said hatefully, "Master, it was her, that bitch who did it! She was responsible for taking care of all my things. She had every chance to do it!"
Lu Guanxuan was furious. "You're still quibbling even now! Fang, I'm so disappointed in you! Someone come here..."
Before Lu Guanxuan finished speaking, a report came.
"The young lady is here!"
Everyone was stunned to see Lu Zhiran, who had been bedridden just now, now being supported by a maid and walking slowly towards them.
Her face was still pale, but no longer as gray as before, but with a hint of life in it.
When Fang saw Lu Zhiran, how could she not understand anything?
I've fallen into her trap again!
The so-called serious illness was just a show for himself.
The old Taoist priest just now must have been bribed by Lu Zhiran in advance.
She immediately turned the gun around and pointed it at Lu Zhiran.
"It's you. You planned all this, right? You're clearly not sick, but you're pretending to be sick just to put the blame on me!"
Lu Zhiran's eyes were dim. "Mother said I was faking illness. Could it be that she was doubting the medical skills of the imperial doctors? The reason I recovered immediately was because the evil spirit had been found."
Fang's heart skipped a beat again.
When the maid came forward carrying the familiar potted plant, Fang's last bit of hope disappeared.
"Father, this potted plant was sent to me by my mother a few days ago. It's placed in my bedroom, and it's said to help me calm my mind. But just now, the maid dug this out from the bottom of the potted plant."
Dan Yan came up with a tray, and on the tray was a puppet!
There were also a few needles and a piece of cloth with the birth date written on it.
Everyone gasped.
Lu Zhiran's tone was icy. "It was this little puppet that nearly cost my daughter her life. After the maids pulled out the needles, she woke up quickly. This shows just how vicious this evil magic is."
Fang's eyes popped out.
"No, that's not the case. I clearly didn't..."
She got stuck mid-sentence.
How was she going to explain it? Was she going to say that she hadn't used any witchcraft, and that her original intention was to poison Lu Zhiran with the toxicity of the potted plant?
What's the difference between this and beating yourself up?
Her mind raced, and Fang decisively shifted the blame, "This isn't something I gave to Ranjie'er. This, this is something Jun'er gave. Master, if you don't believe me, you can send someone to the academy to bring Jun'er back!"
As long as Jun'er comes back, he will definitely take the blame for her.
The master only has Jun'er as his son. No matter how angry he is, he will not punish him severely.
Lu Zhiran said, "That day, Jun'er clearly said it was a gift from my mother. He also said that my mother wanted to reconcile with me but couldn't bring herself to do it, so she asked him to go on her behalf. I was quite touched when I heard that. But now it seems... I was just being sentimental."
Fang argued, "No, it wasn't me. I didn't know anything about this! It was Jun'er. He must have been resentful of you because of Xi'er's incident, so he had evil intentions. Master, I was negligent in discipline, but Jun'er is still young, and he was just confused for a moment. Master, please don't blame him..."
Lu Guanxuan's expression changed several times, and he didn't say anything for a while. No one knew what he was thinking.
Zijuan spoke again, "Master, I know the inside story of this matter."
Fang's expression froze instantly.
"You slut, how dare you talk nonsense? I'll sell you out!"
Zijuan was completely unmoved. "Madam, at this point, you should stop being stubborn and turn back now. This is the right thing to do. You learned that the eldest daughter was about to enter the palace to be a candidate for the prince's consort, and you thought about the second daughter's unhappy marriage, and you felt unfair, so you had evil thoughts and wanted to kill the eldest daughter."
"This voodoo doll was buried by you in advance. The young lady harbored a grudge against you and was only gentle with the young master, so you asked him to deliver it personally."
Fang's eyes were bloodshot. When on earth had this lowly maid been bribed by Lu Zhiran? She hadn't even noticed!
"Nonsense! That's not true at all! I have no knowledge of this matter. It must have been Jun'er who did it!"
Lu Zhiran looked at Fang, her eyes full of disappointment.
"Jun'er is kindhearted and has always respected me. I don't believe he has any intention of harming others. On the contrary, mother, why do you keep throwing dirty water on Jun'er?"
"He is my father's only son and the future head of the Lu family. He will soon take the imperial examination. If his reputation is tarnished, his future prospects will be ruined. Mother, have you considered this before acting this way?"
