Lucky Farmer Girl: I rely on metaphysics to support my family

Chapter 733 Sorrow
After the convoy left the residence, Tang Wan led Wang Da towards the fortune-telling shop.

After Tang Wan greeted Boss Wan, she instructed, "This is Wang Da. He will be guarding my house from now on. I'll trouble Boss Wan to take him to the yamen to complete the formalities later. I have to go back to my residence first!"

“Alright, just let me know if you need anything!” Boss Wan readily agreed.

After Tang Wan settled Wang Da's affairs and chatted briefly with Boss Wan, Ding Li arrived.

Seeing the carriage stop, Tang Wan said goodbye to Boss Wan and left the consulting shop.

As soon as she got out of the car after arriving home, Hongyu came up to her and whispered, "Second Miss, you're finally back. Madam Luo has arrived; she's been here for about half an hour."

Tang Wan paused slightly.

Madam Luo? Madam Wu just passed away last night. The Luo family should be in a state of chaos right now. Why would she come to our door at this time?

Tang Wan had a vague idea in her mind.

"I understand." Tang Wan replied to Hongyu with a normal expression, and then walked directly towards the main room.

The atmosphere in the hall was somewhat strange.

Sitting in the main seat, Madam Wang wore a polite smile, but the formality in her words betrayed her aloofness. She was chatting casually with Madam Luo.

Madam Luo sat at the lower end of the table, dressed in a simple moon-white dress. Her brows were furrowed with worry and exhaustion, and she appeared somewhat restless.

Seeing Tang Wan enter, Madam Wang visibly breathed a sigh of relief and asked with a gentle smile, "Wan'er is back."

Upon hearing Wang's words and seeing Tang Wan enter, Madam Luo immediately stood up from her chair, a smile plastered on her face, but her voice trembled as she said, "Master! You're back!"

"Madam Luo." Tang Wan nodded slightly, her gaze calmly sweeping across her face. "Please accept my condolences, Madam."

"Thank you for your concern, Master." Madam Luo's voice choked with emotion as she sat down again, her hands tightly twisting the handkerchief, her knuckles turning white.

Her lips moved a few times, but she hesitated to speak.

A brief silence fell over the hall.

Wang picked up her teacup, showing no intention of breaking the deadlock.

Tang Wan didn't either; she wanted to see what was going on.

Madam Luo took a deep breath, her voice trembling with suppressed sobs, and said, "Master, I have come here today because I am truly desperate and have no other choice! My eldest son... he... he seemed to have lost his soul after keeping vigil at the mourning hall last night."

Her words abruptly stopped, her body trembled involuntarily, and she pleaded in a low voice, "Master, save me! Our manor... I'm afraid something terrible is about to happen! That thing... it... it seems it didn't completely leave..."

After Mrs. Luo said, "That thing... it seems it didn't completely leave," she could no longer hold back and began to cry softly.

Luo Dalang was Madam Luo's only son, and she always valued him highly.

One can only imagine the torment that Madam Luo suffered after Luo Dalang's accident.

Upon hearing this, Wang's expression changed, and the atmosphere in the hall instantly became much more tense. Tang Wan's heart also sank upon hearing this, but her expression remained unchanged, still calm.

After Madam Luo had finished crying, Tang Wan calmly said, "Madam, please don't be anxious. Tell me the details of what happened so that I can make a judgment."

Tang Wan's calm voice cleared Madam Luo's head, which had been reeling from crying.

She raised her head, her eyes brimming with tears, and continued in a trembling voice, "Master! My eldest son, as a husband, was supposed to keep vigil at Wu's mourning hall for the last night, which is only natural. But this morning when the servants went to the mourning hall to tidy up, they found... found him..." When Madam Luo mentioned her son, her heart ached even more, and she was too distressed to continue.

Seeing this, Tang Wan quickly handed the teacup on the table to Madam Luo and comforted her, "Madam, take a moment, I'm here!"

Madam Luo looked up at Tang Wan, took the teacup she offered, and forced a sip. After the discomfort subsided slightly, she said, "He was slumped down next to Madam Wu's coffin, his face as pale as paper! When we called him, he didn't respond! When we pushed him, his whole body was cold and stiff! His eyes were fixed on Madam Wu's memorial tablet!"

When the servants called her over, she was terrified to see her son like that. But he was her son, and she was worried. Her son was perfectly healthy, and he had turned into this overnight. How could she not worry?

At this point, Madam Luo not only felt heartache, but also a hint of fear in her eyes. She said to Tang Wan, "We were terrified. It took several of us to carry him back to his room. The doctor came to see him, took his pulse, and said it was weak and barely perceptible, like that of an old man on his deathbed!"

At this point, Mrs. Luo felt even more distressed. How could her young son have become an old man in his twilight years?
But the doctor was a famous doctor in the northern desert. He had no grudge against his family and would not make up stories about his son.

Madam Luo suppressed her distress and continued, "What's even more frightening is that just before I arrived, a servant came to report that the eldest son suddenly sat up! Then he picked up the dressing mirror that Madam Wu loved most when she was alive, and a white candle that she hadn't finished burning!"

Mrs. Luo trembled violently, her teeth chattering: "He just... gnawed on the candle! Like a wild beast! Candle wax dripped all over him, but he didn't seem to feel it! His eyes were still so empty!"

Mrs. Luo felt even more distressed when she recalled the scene of seeing her son.

If it weren't for the bizarre appearance, she wouldn't have bothered to come and ask this person for help; there was simply no other way.

Thinking of this, Luo Shi hardened her heart, knelt down in front of Tang Wan with a thud, sobbing uncontrollably, her forehead hitting the ground heavily: "Master! Please save my eldest son! Save the Luo family! It must be that poisonous woman Wu, she won't rest in peace even in death! She hates Zhiheng for not saving her! She hates the Luo family for not doing their best!"

Madam Luo looked at Tang Wan through teary eyes, her voice choked with emotion: "I'm afraid she'll take my life! She'll ruin my eldest son! She'll ruin the Luo family! And tonight, she might even harm others!"

The hall was deathly silent, save for Mrs. Luo's weeping.

Tang Wan quickly stepped forward to help Madam Luo, saying, "Madam, please come quickly. I don't deserve such a grand gesture. Didn't I tell you last time that you could come find me if you needed anything? I was out on business today and wasn't at home. Now that I'm back, please don't worry!"

"Really?" Mrs. Luo looked somewhat helpless.

Tang Wan nodded firmly and reassured her, "Of course, Madam, please get up, the ground is cold!"

As Tang Wan spoke, she lifted Madam Luo up with all her might.

Mrs. Luo, feeling somewhat embarrassed by Tang Wan's strength, said, "I'm sorry to have made you laugh, I was really scared!"

"I understand!" Tang Wan said with a smile, trying to reassure her.

Then, Tang Wan glanced at Madam Luo and hesitated, "But I have a question. I remember asking Boss Wan to give each of you a talisman. Didn't Brother Luo wear it?"

You should know that Luo Jia Dalang's talisman was specially drawn by himself, so this situation shouldn't have occurred.
