Prince’s Fierce Concubine - C97
“Princess, princess …”
On her face, there was only unease. She only called out Lin Xuecha’s name, but refused to continue.
Lin Xuecha looked at her, straightened his sleeves, and said without a care.
“What are you all so flustered about? If you have something to say, just say it slowly.”
Hearing Lin Xuecha’s words, Ting Zhu became anxious and did not care anymore.
“Princess, something big happened last night. Madam seemed to have seen a ghost, and is currently looking for a mage to come to the manor to exorcise ghosts.”
Lin Xuecha nodded.
She lifted the blanket and asked casually, “And then?”
Seeing her lack of interest, Ting Zhu became even more anxious.
“Madam, the ghost that Madam wants to drive is the princess’ mother, Lady Hualan!”
“Oh …”
Lin Xuecha gave him face as he raised his eyebrows, “How does she plan to drive me away?”
Ting Zhu was simply disappointed that he had failed.
“Princess, please don’t take too long. No matter how Madam exorcises the ghost, the ghost is the princess’ biological mother, who knows what Madam might be planning. This morning, she was lying on the floor by herself with a painting on top of her body, perhaps the princess still doesn’t know the origins of that painting, it was a self-portrait of Madam Hualan from back then.”
“Madam Hualan’s drawing skills are excellent, there are very few people, there are so many people that can make a person’s drawing look so vividly, and now Madam insists on it. Last night, Madam Hualan came to find her, and this matter caused a huge commotion, and was even spread into the palace, and even the Empress sent people to take a look, to see what exactly happened, and you are not curious at all, princess?!”
Curiosity…
Lin Xuecha’s brows slightly raised a hint of flowing light.
She rinsed her mouth and lightly wiped her slender fingers on the clean handkerchief.
After a moment, her lips curled up into a faint smile. The smile seemed to have some meaning to it.
“Of course I’m curious. This princess’ birth mother wasn’t willing to come see me even once in ten years. Now, how can she be willing to see my mother? Let’s go and take a look.”
The two of them walked out of the courtyard.
Ting Zhu said that the important thing for Marquis Anping’s Wife was that she was close to her courtyard, allowing the exorcist master to help her exorcise ghosts.
Lin Xuecha laughed, “On one side, she is doing evil things, and on the other, trying to please ghosts, I really do not know what to say about her.”
Ting Zhu curled his lips and said with a look of disdain.
“A two-faced man, what’s there to say?”
Lin Xuecha glanced at her but did not say anything.
The two of them walked outside the courtyard of Marquis Anping’s Wife.
The yard was ablaze with yellow talismans covering the entire floor.
The master exorcist folded his hands in a cross.
Looking at its appearance, it seemed to be exceptionally skilled.
He closed his eyes and muttered something.
After reciting for a while, he suddenly opened his eyes and gave a loud and urgent command. He poured out something from his hand, and the symbols in front of his eyes all ignited automatically.
The crowd watched on from the side, their eyes filled with reverence.
Marquis Anping’s Wife stood in the center of the courtyard, supported by Lin Xueyu.
On her face, there was not only reverence, but also a faint sense of gratification and relaxation.
Relax?
Lin Xuecha’s indifferent gaze swept across her face, and then retracted.
Her clear and melodious voice then sounded next to Ting Zhu’s ears.
“When I first returned to the Capital City, was there still any gold Fifth Prince had bestowed?”
The voice was not loud, and it was clear that it was being spoken under pressure.
Ting Zhu glanced at his surroundings, seeing that no one was paying attention to them, he quietly replied.
“Of course. The emperor has bestowed a thousand taels of white shadow, and the Fifth Prince has bestowed ten thousand taels of gold. This servant doesn’t even dare touch them, and Madam doesn’t have the guts to accept the princess’s finances. ”
Lin Xuecha’s gaze landed on the Exorcist Master who was fiddling with something.
She said to Ting Zhu, “Go and get twenty taels of gold, ten taels of gold each, divided into two bags. Remember, move quickly and hide.”
Ting Zhu was startled by his words.
She looked at Lin Xuecha. Although he didn’t understand Lin Xuecha’s intention, he still nodded.
“This servant will go now.”
After a while.
Ting Zhu was panting hard as he ran back to Lin Xuecha’s side.
She passed two bags of gold to Lin Xuecha calmly, and Lin Xuecha put them away.
She looked at the Exorcist Grandmaster, and then at Marquis Anping’s Wife, silent.
Ting Zhu carefully asked, “Princess, are you using this gold to do something?”
“Mm. Don’t you think that money can make a difference?”
Lin Xuecha said casually, but the expression in his eyes kept flickering unpredictably.
“If that great master kept on telling me that there was a ghost in my mother’s courtyard, and it was lying beside my mother, staring at her every single moment, wondering if my mother would be so frightened that she would fall gravely ill …”
Ting Zhu immediately opened her mouth wide, and after a long while, she slowly nodded with admiration in her eyes.
“Princess, you are getting smarter and smarter!”
Yeah.
If the princess could use gold to bribe the exorcist master, at that time, she could say whatever she wanted to say to the Marquis Anping’s Wife.
The matters of the gods and ghosts had always been illusory.
Marquis Anping’s Wife was saying that she had, so he gave it to her.
If the princess could, she would seize the opportunity to frighten her.
At that time, even if he couldn’t completely cripple her, he would be able to scare her to the point that she would be severely ill.
It could be said that it was a good plan.
After waiting for a while for the exorcist master to finish his tasks, Lin Xuecha seemed to have no patience and returned back to the courtyard while covering her lips.
Before leaving, she had instructed Ting Zhu to wait until the Mage was done with the law, and then bring him to the courtyard. She wanted to talk to him alone about a condition.
Ting Zhu immediately replied.
Lin Xueyu and Marquis Anping’s Wife stood to the side, not moving an inch.
After Lin Xuecha returned to the courtyard, a servant girl dressed in light green walked up to him.
Lin Xueyu and Lin Xueyu whispered to each other, and after that, Lin Xueyu nodded his head, and then smiled gently at the girl and waved her away.
Ting Zhu didn’t think too much and only dared to watch from the side of the courtyard, not daring to step forward.
Lin Xueyu glanced at her out of the corner of his eye and fixated his gaze on her body for a second.
“Mother, the fish looks like they’re about to take the bait …”
After Lin Xuecha left, Marquis Anping’s Wife’s expression became reserved, and the coldness in his phoenix eyes spread further and further.
“She’s really bold, she actually dared to come and scare me like that!”
The corner of Lin Xueyu’s mouth drew back.
Her smile was always clear and indifferent. It did not repel people a thousand miles away, but it did not approach her in the slightest.
“It’s only Xueyu’s guess, after all, there are no real ghosts in this world, only people who come with ill intentions.”
Marquis Anping’s Wife snorted coldly.
“It’s all thanks to you reminding me. Last night, I saw that she knew a lot, and it really was true, but I forgot that her daughter also had memories.
If her daughter has never lost her memories, then I will report this to the Empress and can’t keep Lin Xuecha alive any longer!
Lin Xueyu only smiled, and did not reply.
Marquis Anping’s Wife got angrier the more he thought about it.
If last night, it really wasn’t Leng Hualan, but Lin Xuecha.
Then last night, she was played like a monkey by Lin Xuecha.
Just the thought of it infuriated him.
She looked at the constant movements of the Exorcist Mage, her eyes cold and stern. The voice that came out of her throat was even more sinister and terrifying than the white shadow’s strange laughter last night, causing people’s hearts to tremble.
“If she really took the money to bribe the Mage, and made me continue to panic, panic, and act so maliciously, wanting to make me fall into a serious illness with my life on the line, I definitely wouldn’t spare her!”
When the Fifth Prince Su An heard the news, he immediately called for the previous generation’s Shi Li Churan and rushed over.
After all, the mother of his beloved one had hit the jackpot. If he still wanted to bring the beauty home, then naturally he would show off in front of the Marquis Anping’s Wife.
The reason he called Li Churan over was because Li Churan could help him think of a countermeasure and solve many difficult problems for him.
Furthermore, the relationship between the Marquis Anping’s Wife and the palace master was not bad.
Knowing that something had happened to her, he immediately sent people to take a look. After reporting his actions, he felt that the situation was somewhat serious. After all, that ghost was her personal servant and wanted to send people to follow up on the matter.
Crown Prince Su Jin took the initiative to recommend himself, and then came to the Marquis Anping Palace on his own, to see if this matter was true or false …
If this matter was fake, and he was wise, it would be considered a good thing for him to see through everything and reveal the mastermind behind it to suppress the Marquis Anping’s Wife and take revenge.
If this was true, then who in this world would dare to run into him? He was the future king of all demons, a true dragon!
After finishing the instructions, Ting Zhu led the Master Exorcist Master and walked to the designated location.
Pushing the door open, Ting Zhu saw Lin Xuecha leisurely drinking his tea, and could not help but laugh: “Princess, the Great Master is here.”
Lin Xuecha immediately put down the teacup in his hand, and slightly nodded towards the Exorcist Master.
The Exorcist Master’s expression didn’t change as he returned the greeting.
Lin Xuecha stretched out his hand and said to the exorcist master.
“Master, please take a seat.”
The Exorcist Master moved upon hearing the voice and sat opposite to Lin Xuecha.
Lin Xuecha looked at Ting Zhu, “There’s no more hot water in the house, go and get some people to get some hot water.”
Ting Zhu nodded her head, she then opened the door and picked up a servant girl, “Go to the kitchen to get some hot water, hurry up.”
The servant girl’s expression changed slightly as she blessed her body.
“This servant will go now.”
Inside the house, Lin Xuecha took out the gold that he had wrapped for her not long ago from his sleeves.
Placing it on the table, Lin Xuecha slowly opened the bag by the mouth and showed it to the exorcist master.
The Exorcist Master didn’t bat an eyelid as he took in her movements.
However, his expression was still solemn. “Princess, what are you trying to get This Penniless Priest to do? Do you also want This Penniless Priest to do a legal matter?”
Lin Xuecha looked at him, her lips pulled back into a flattering smile.
“It’s not like I met a ghost or anything. Why do I have to do something about it?”
Her eyes that were as deep as a thousand-year old well had a faint light flowing through them. She smiled.
“To tell you the truth, I would like to ask master for a favor. I would like to ask master to help me out a bit more on this matter.”
The servant brought over hot water, but Ting Zhu stopped her from entering.
“Give me the hot water. You can leave first.”
“Yes, Big Sister Ting Zhu.”
Ting Zhu nodded to her, then turned and entered the house, using his feet to close the door.
