Red makeup against the world

Chapter 597
Gu Daopo looked solemnly at Jishou: "Just now, a cloud of evil spirit suddenly came from Madam's room!"

"Why is this? What's the problem?" Mother He asked repeatedly.

"I've said before that what you do is detrimental to merit, and now it has come true." The compassionate expression on Gu Daopo's face was even stronger: "I'm afraid we have to contribute more merit to eliminate sins."

Although Mrs. Chen is the Duke's wife, since Wen Yunqing's incident, her temperament has become more and more eccentric. She basically stays at home, never attends the banquets of the dignitaries in Beijing, and has little experience.

Frightened by Gu Daopo's pretending to be a ghost, she quickly asked Mother He to bring out a bag of gold leaves: "Do you see if these are enough?"

Gu Daopo was overjoyed, and forced herself to calm down and said: "The poor nun will make offerings tonight, if the evil spirit doesn't come out, maybe it will be enough."

Hearing what she said, Mrs. Chen felt relieved, and gave her the silver ticket for the practice: "Then I'll wait and see the result." Gu Daopo Jishou resigned.

……

In the middle of the night, a bright moon hung high in the sky, emitting a cold light.

In the courtyard where Gu Daopo lived, three pillars of high incense were lit, and the blue smoke rose straight to the sky, which could not be blown away by the wind, which can be described as a wonderful sight.

Mother He stood aside nervously, watching her cast a spell.

I saw the ancient Taoist woman stepping on the seven stars, holding a mahogany sword in her hand, and wearing a white Taoist robe with the bones of immortality.It's just that the things in front of her are very strange, destroying her fairy spirit.

It was a big-headed doll made of white cloth, Xu Wanzhen's undershirt was wrapped into a ball, the outside was sewn with white cloth, the facial features were painted with cinnabar on it, and the neck was carefully tied with long hair.Black, white, and red eyes are reflected in the moonlight, which is creepy.

On the back of the big-headed doll, there was a piece of yellow talisman paper, on which Xu Wanzhen's birth date was written in cinnabar.The cinnabar was like blood, as if it was about to drip onto the ground at any moment.

Gu Daopo murmured something, and circled the yard in a circle, turning faster and faster, which dazzled Mama He.

When Leu Ke pointed at Zi, the peach wood sword in Gu Daopo's hand suddenly moved forward, and the big-headed doll and the talisman paper attached behind it suddenly burned blazingly, and turned into a mass of ashes in an instant.

Gu Daopo shouted suddenly, withdrew her sword momentum, and respectfully placed the tray containing gold leaves and silver notes in front of the incense candle.

"It's done?" Mother He asked nervously.

Gu Daopo opened her eyes and wiped her sweat. Although this set of bluffing tricks was mostly cover-ups, the five-element mantra in it was true, and she did have some real skills.If not, he would be exposed in Zhoucheng.

She nodded wearily: "It's done. The poor nun has consumed too much mana and needs to rest for a day. Please take it first."

"Taoist nun rest assured, if things come to fruition, Madam He must be rewarded." After finishing speaking, Mother He turned around and left the yard.

There is a very short path back to the main courtyard from here, but Mother He made a detour and walked through the veranda not far from Zhiyuan's residence.

In the garden at this hour, apart from her, it was very quiet, with the occasional chirping of insects, it returned to calm.

She had something in her heart, and as soon as she reached the veranda, she heard exclamations from Zhiyuanju, and then the yard was lit up one after another.At first, there were one or two people's footsteps, and then more and more. After drinking tea, she heard the courtyard door open with a "squeak", and two people hurried out from the courtyard.

After some distance, she couldn't hear clearly.But it must have been done!Otherwise, in the middle of the night, people living far away would not suddenly panic.

Mother He returned to the main courtyard, and Mrs. Chen hadn't rested yet, waiting for her result.

"Ma'am, it's over!" Mother He said happily.

A burst of ecstasy welled up in Chen's heart, and finally got rid of this annoying thorn!

"Thanks to you." Mrs. Chen looked at Mother He with extremely gentle eyes, "No one will find out, right?"

"No, apart from Madam, only Bai Shan and Gu Daopo know about this matter. Something happened to Xu Wan, and Bai Shan dared not confess. As for Gu Daopo, tomorrow I will send her out of the mansion and let her leave the capital. , the farther the better."

Hearing her arrangement, Mrs. Chen was extremely happy, and said: "Isn't that little grandson of yours going to study? Tomorrow, I will have his body deed taken to Jingzhao Mansion, and his lowly status will be cancelled."

Mother He was taken aback, and hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "Madam's great kindness, it is difficult for an old slave to repay her with a grass ring."

Her little grandson is talented and intelligent, but no matter how capable he is, he can only be the young master's book boy, or work as a clerk in a shop. His future is limited, which has become her heart disease.

Now, with the grace of my wife, I can take part in the imperial examinations after I lose my lowly status. The future is not the same.She has been working for the Chen family for these years, and has saved a lot of money, so there is no problem at all for her grandson to study.

Chen said with a smile: "You are so loyal to me, little things are nothing."

Listening to the faint sound coming from Zhiyuan residence in the distance, Mrs. Chen felt extremely at ease.That night, she slept very soundly.

As soon as it was dawn, Mrs. Chen got up.Mother He came in to serve her, and there were two obvious dark circles under her eyes.

Chen said with a smile: "After waiting for me to freshen up, you can go down and have a rest. You can't be tired all by yourself."

Mother He bowed her knees and saluted: "Madam is sympathetic, but the old slave dare not take it too seriously. Early this morning, news came from the porter that Zhiyuan Juli had invited two imperial physicians in succession. Mrs. Sasao heard that there was a second young master in the courtyard. Angrily shouting, I heard that they smashed a whole room of furnishings."

Mrs. Chen rinsed her mouth slowly, feeling extremely happy.Wu Zhengxiang, Wu Zhengxiang, you also have today.

"Call Steward Xie, I'll let him go and handle your business first. Gu Daopo, how soon are you going to send her away?"

"Let's go right away, the old slaves are ready for the carriage."

Chen nodded in satisfaction: "Go."

……

The second young lady is in a coma again?Bai Shan hid in the house, listening to the turmoil outside, the chaotic footsteps coming and going, and Wu Zhengxiang's angry shouting.

"Check! Check them one by one for me! Madam will never faint for no reason, find out today."

She curled up on the bed with her legs in her arms, fear, fear, apprehension, nervousness and other emotions welling up in her heart, and finally there was even a tinge of joy.

It turned out that Mother He wanted these things for this purpose, and it must be that Gu Daopo used witchcraft.

I just took my things yesterday afternoon, and my wife passed out just after midnight last night. How could such a coincidence happen?Since she was unconscious again, the Second Young Master must be in a bad mood at this time, and must be comforted by someone.

No, I can't just sit here anymore, I should boil some hot soup and send it to Second Young Master, to comfort him not to worry.

Bai Shan got up, tidied herself up carefully, looked at the mirror for a while, and then she was satisfied with her skirt and was about to go out.

When she looked up, she saw the female guard next to Madam, leaning against the door frame with her arms crossed, looking at her with a half-smile.
