Chapter 172: The Elimination of Inheritance
Lu Guanxuan's face immediately darkened, and the concubines were horrified and cried out for justice.
Lu Guanxuan ignored it and immediately sent people to search out the dirty things.
Fang was watching the show with a sneer on her face, but when she saw the potted plants that the servants had searched out from the concubines' rooms, her expression froze for a moment.
"Master, but these things?"
The master took a look and then closed his eyes again, looking mysterious.
"There are other evil spirits under the base of the incense burner and under the bed."
Lu Guanxuan immediately sent people to search again, and sure enough, they found things at the base of the incense burner and under the bed.
The six concubines were dumbfounded when they saw these dusty things.
When did these things appear in their houses? Why didn't they know about it? What exactly are they?
Lu Guanxuan shouted angrily, "Tell me! What on earth are these? You dare to touch this evil spirit? You are so bold!"
The concubines kowtowed and begged for mercy.
"Master, please understand. I am innocent. I don't even know what it is."
"Yes, this is the first time I've seen these things, but, but what exactly they are, I have no idea."
Lu Guanxuan just thought they were quibbling.
Unexpectedly, Fang took the initiative to speak and explain for them.
"Master, I think this matter is most likely unrelated to Sister Ran's illness. Look at those things, they are covered in dust. They have been there for at least several years, while Sister Ran's illness only recently broke out. The timing doesn't match."
Lu Guanxuan frowned slightly, obviously stunned for a moment.
Several concubines looked at Fang with gratitude.
Fang said again, "Master, the most urgent thing is to find out the cause of Sister Ran's illness. It won't be too late to try her later."
As long as she delays, she will find a way to destroy these things.
Before Lu Guanxuan could say anything, the old Taoist priest spoke slowly, "Master Lu, these things are certainly not the root cause of the county lady's illness, but they are definitely not simple. If we don't figure it out, the prosperity of the Lu family will probably come to an end."
Lu Guanxuan's heart trembled. Yes, he was almost led astray.
If these were not all evil things, how could the master calculate them so accurately?
If this evil is not eliminated, the Lu family will be finished.
"Master, please give me some advice!"
The old Taoist priest flicked his whisk and said, "Master Lu, please ask the doctor in the mansion to take a look. All doubts will be solved naturally."
Upon hearing this, Fang's expression grew even darker.
This old Taoist priest could actually see through these things at a glance. Is he really that profound in his Taoism, or is he...
A terrible guess arose in Fang's mind.
No, this matter must not be exposed.
Fang said hurriedly, "Master, I will send for the palace doctor right away."
After she finished speaking, she cast a look at Zijuan without waiting for Lu Guanxuan's consent. Zijuan bowed and left quickly.
"Sir Lu, I only do divination and do not get involved in your family affairs. From now on, I will step aside."
Lu Guanxuan had this in mind, so he immediately sent someone to invite him to the guest room to rest for a while.
The court doctor arrived quickly. Fang cast a questioning look at Zijuan. Zijuan nodded, and Fang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Guanxuan ordered in a deep voice, "Check it carefully for me, what is this?"
The court doctor responded respectfully, first checking the identical potted plants, then opening the packages one by one, his expression suddenly becoming solemn.
"Master, if my judgment is correct, this potted plant is called Kong Rui Lan. These packages contain a prescription made from various medicinal herbs, including Xu Tai Hua, Ji Mai Guo, and Duan Gen Teng. Long-term exposure to these ingredients can cause infertility."
After the court doctor finished speaking, Lu Guanxuan's breathing became heavier.
"You, what did you say? Say it again!"
The court doctor lowered his head and repeated what he had just said respectfully.
Lu Guanxuan's body shook violently and he almost lost his balance.
Several concubines touched their bellies, their faces filled with disbelief and shock.
They have been childless for so many years, and it turns out that this is the reason!
Fang's face changed drastically, and she immediately looked at Zijuan with a fierce look in her eyes.
How did she do it? She actually made the court doctor tell the truth in public!
Several concubines looked at Fang in unison, with deep hatred hidden in their eyes.
Who did this? Is there any need to guess?
One of them roared at Fang, "It's you! It must be you! You drugged us and left us childless for so many years, you vicious woman!"
One person took the lead, and the others also came to their senses. No longer caring about hierarchy, they followed suit and cursed angrily, "Fang, you are so cruel and vicious that you even dared to murder the master's offspring! The master will definitely not forgive you!"
Fang's face was pale and blue, and even though she was extremely panicked, she had to force herself to remain calm.
"You, what nonsense are you talking about? I am the mistress of the house. It is my duty to consider the old man's heirs. How could I drug you?"
"Bah! Just keep this to yourself! Who else could do such a thing besides you?"
"In the entire Lu Mansion, besides the master, you are the only master. If it wasn't you, could it be that the master himself drugged us? Or was it the ghost of the previous lady who did it?"
They entered the family only after Luo's death, so Fang had no chance to get involved with Luo even if she wanted to.
Lu Guanxuan finally came back to his senses from this huge blow. The anger in his heart rose little by little, and his face turned ashen.
At the beginning, there was no child born in his backyard, so Fang found a so-called expert for him, who dug out the dirty thing in Luo's yard.
For so many years, he has always blamed this incident on the Luo family's curse.
Today I realized that he was absolutely wrong!
There are indeed dirty things in the Lu family, but they are not the cursed things left by the Luo family, but the things in the courtyards of these concubines that can cause infertility!
At the beginning, he welcomed Fang into the family, doted on her in every way, and handed over all the affairs of the mansion to her. Who else could have done this except her?
Lu Guanxuan was furious when he thought that he could have had many children, but now he only had one son, Lu Juncheng.
He raised his hand and slapped Fang hard.
"Bitch! I trusted you so much, and this is how you repay me?"
Fang was beaten so hard that half of her face went numb instantly and her ears were buzzing.
"Master, I am wronged..."
She couldn't admit it, even if she died!
However, at this moment, Zijuan suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to Lu Guanxuan repeatedly.
"Master, I am reporting this to you. It was indeed Madam who did this!"
Fang's eyes widened instantly, full of disbelief.
"Zijuan, you're crazy!"
This bitch, how dare she betray me? Has she forgotten who holds her indenture?
