Red makeup against the world

Chapter 592
It is indeed the courtyard used by the Duke's Mansion to entertain guests. Gu Daopo glanced at it when she came in. Although the courtyard is small, the scenery is patchwork and the flowers and trees are sparse.

The furnishing of this room today is full of mahogany furniture, and even the legs of the table are covered with copper.The plum vases on the table over there are so lustrous and soft that they are very valuable at first glance.The bedding on the bed was high-quality silk satin, embroidered with warbler patterns with silver threads, a fabric she had never even seen, let alone used.

In Zhoucheng, she had only seen such a room in a big family's house, and only a distinguished wife could use it.However, here, it is only used to entertain temporary guests.

Gu Daopo looked out the window, and after confirming that there was no one there, she lay down on the bed, relaxed her limbs, and felt the smooth touch from the silk satin with her cheeks, which was extremely comfortable.

At this moment, her heart is proud.She didn't expect that the dignified wife of the Duke would be as easy to deceive as that country woman.It was just a trivial skill that won her trust, and she hadn't had time to show off the big move she had prepared.

A smile crept up her cheek.Before she came, she deliberately inquired about the affairs of Duke Zhong's mansion, including those old things that happened many years ago.

Why did Duke Zhong's mansion ask her to enter the mansion at this time? Didn't he just marry a concubine's daughter-in-law not long ago?After thinking about it for a while, I guessed that Mrs. Chen was dissatisfied with this new wife, and she must have been specially invited to deal with her.

She has her own news channel, which is the foundation of her life.It is also because of this that the Chen family can be shocked.In fact, she didn't know when Xu Wanzhen woke up, and her news was not so well informed. She only knew that Xu Wanzhen showed up in Baicaowei on the second day of marriage.

It's just that this won't bother her, just use a little plan in words, and then watch her words and demeanor.

The word "immediately" in "wake up immediately" is quite particular. It depends on what the listener thinks if you wake up at night and immediately when you wake up the next day.

After she was proud, she was a little annoyed. 2000 taels of silver, Mrs. Duke agreed without even blinking an eye. I should have asked for more.But it doesn't matter, as long as the other party gets into the hub, there are plenty of ways for her to spit out money again.

Taking out the 500 taels of silver bill and looking at it again and again, Gu Daopo was overjoyed.This time she came to the right place. If she is lucky in Zhoucheng, she will have to work hard for more than half a year to earn 500 taels, which is as easy as it is now!

She made up her mind in her heart that she would not go back after finishing the order, and go home to enjoy the good fortune after earning a few pennies.The capital is so big, there are many rich wives.

……

Qingluo came back from the courtyard, she just heard something that made her feel a little panicked.She looked up at the black-bottomed gilt plaque hanging above the courtyard gate, and the strong and powerful "Zhiyuanju" on it gave her the strength to stabilize.

This plaque was only made yesterday and hung up. The second young master's handwriting is really good, which makes people feel at ease after reading it.Thinking this way in her heart, Qingluo entered the yard.

A little girl who just had her hair cut came head-on, Qing Luo asked her where the Second Young Madam was going, and went towards the piano room.

Xu Wanzhen had just finished playing a piece, and she put her love into the music, making her forget herself.The sound of the piano curled up, lingering in the room for a long time.

Sang Zi raised her eyes and saw Qing Luo at the door, and asked her with her eyes: "Is there something wrong?" Qing Luo nodded.

"Second Young Madam, Qingluo is here, maybe she has something to report."

"That's all for today." Xu Wanzhen stood up, and Sangzi's attendant cleaned her hands, then applied balm, and let Qingluo in.

Qing Luo bowed her knees and saluted: "Second Young Madam, I feel uneasy when I hear a strange thing outside."

"Come on."

"Mother He invited a Taoist woman back to the mansion from somewhere, and she only went to see her in the afternoon, and she has already stayed in the mansion. She said yes, to get rid of some evil spirits. It's all right, what evil spirits are there in our mansion? "

Xu Wanzhen listened, but was not surprised.

It is impossible for the Chen family to forcibly plug people, and they have begun to believe in these charlatans.Although she didn't know what method she had, but she had seen the mysterious young man, so she didn't believe that this kind of person really had any magic power, but he just knew some tricks to cheat money.

Still, it's always good to be careful.

"Sangzi, please come over to Madam Zheng. I know this matter well. Qing Luo has done a good job. Next month, I will be rewarded with double monthly rewards. Don't discuss this matter in our yard."

Xu Wanzhen's calm expression reassured Qingluo a lot, she thanked her and stepped back.

After a cup of tea, Madam Zheng came to Xu Wanzhen: "Second Young Madam, are you looking for me?"

"Qingluo heard the news that Mrs. Chen has invited a Taoist woman. According to my estimation, it should be aimed at me."

Mother Zheng pondered for a moment, then said: "Second Young Madam, don't underestimate these Taoist women. I know a thing or two. Although they don't understand any Taoism, most of them know some magic spells and make a living by it. They specialize in Stirring and defrauding money in the back house."

Madam Zheng's words made Xu Wan's heart shudder, which was quite different from her previous judgment.Fortunately, Madam Zheng was by her side to remind her, otherwise she might not even know what was going on.

Since this is the case, it is necessary to take this matter seriously, Xu Wanzhen asked: "Madam, do you know that there is any way to prevent witchcraft?"

"This old man doesn't know. Witching is a forbidden technique, especially in the palace. Once discovered, it will be a death penalty. From this, it can be seen that this kind of magic is terrible. However, if you want to cast it, you must need some catalysts." , such as the horoscope of the second young lady's birthday, underwear and so on."

The more Xu Wanzhen listened to it, the more frightened she became. There is such a spell among the people?
"Wouldn't it be that if you don't like someone, you can kill them with a witch spell?"

Madam Zheng shook her head: "It's not that powerful, and it's mostly useless to men with full blood. At most, it can make a woman have some hallucinations, or fall into a coma for a period of time, etc. As long as the timing is right, it can reach certain levels. Purpose."

"coma?"

In the blink of an eye, Xu Wan really knew what Chen Shi wanted to do.She wanted to stuff Fan Qianqian into Zhiyuan Residence, but after she was firmly rejected, she came up with this method, wanting to put the obtrusive self into a coma again, so that she could put people beside Wu Zhengxiang.

It's just that she has only been awake for less than ten days, if she falls into a coma again, everyone who cares about her will probably fall into panic.According to Wu Zhengxiang's character, he will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly.When he found out that Chen Shi did it, he didn't know what he would do.

Chen Shi pretends to be smart, but she doesn't know the serious consequences of this incident at all. If he releases the dark beast hidden deep in his heart, Chen Shi will definitely lose his life, even Wu Sheng can't save her.Since then, there has been a gap between the two brothers, and Wu Zhengxiang may slip further and further into the dark abyss.

The more she thought about it, the more frightened Xu Wanzhen became.
