Chapter 818 Loving Mother
After ending the call, Tang Wan let out a soft sigh of relief.

She turned and went to the study, where she drew an upgraded version of the Truth Talisman.

Tang Wan glanced at the Truth Talisman, then found a purse to put it away and turned to leave the space.

Back inside, Tang Wan summoned Ding Li and instructed him to immediately drive to the prefectural office to hand over the purse to Boss Wan.

Tang Wan returned to the cosmetics studio and continued her previous work.

After waiting outside for a while, Boss Wan decided it was about time to return to the fortune-telling shop.

Just as the carriage stopped, Ding Li's carriage arrived.

Just as Boss Wan brought his carriage to a stop at the consulting shop, he heard another sound of hooves and wheels coming from ahead.

A thought flickered in his mind, and upon closer inspection, he indeed saw Ding Li jumping down from the carriage, holding a plain-colored purse in his hand.

"Boss Wan," Ding Li stepped forward and handed him the purse, "my master instructed me to give this to you immediately."

Boss Wan took the purse, which felt light and airy. He couldn't help but smile slightly. He carefully took the purse and nodded to Ding Li, saying, "Thank you for making this trip, brother. Please thank the master for me."

Ding Li smiled, cupped his hands in farewell, and said, "Mr. Wan, you're too kind. I'll go back and report now."

After Ding Li left, Boss Wan squeezed the purse in his hand, feeling a sense of relief.

When Boss Wan returned to the fortune-telling shop, he saw Master Zhou sitting there restlessly, frequently looking outside.

Seeing Boss Wan push the door open and enter, Master Zhou quickly got up to greet him, asking with anticipation, "Boss Wan, does the master have some free time?"

Boss Wan replied, "Master Zhou, although the master is unable to attend in person due to important matters, he has already provided a solution. This matter concerns your family's reputation and your son's future, so we must be cautious. Why don't we set off for your residence immediately and act according to your plan?"

Master Zhou hesitated, not because he doubted the master's method, but because the Boss Wan in front of him was probably just an ordinary person. Could things work out without the master's help?
Seeing Master Zhou's hesitation, Boss Wan paused and then lowered his voice, saying, "Master Zhou, rest assured, this method requires close contact with that Aunt Liu to get her to tell the truth."

Although Mr. Zhou agreed with what Mr. Wan said, he still hesitated and voiced his concerns: "It's not that I don't trust Mr. Wan, it's just that the master is not here. I don't know if Mr. Wan has any way to discern the truth?"

Boss Wan took out the purse that Tang Wan had given him from his sleeve, gestured to it, and slowly said, "This is a talisman that the master specially made for Master Zhou. It can make people reveal their true words, but I need to operate it myself. However, the time for revealing true words is also limited. But Master Zhou still needs to arrange for me to meet with Aunt Liu alone. The time does not need to be long."

After saying that, Boss Wan stuffed the purse back into his sleeve, not intending to let Master Zhou examine it carefully.

You should know that you only have this one copy. If something goes wrong, you'll have to ask the master for help. Although it's not a big deal to bother the master, it will make the master think that you are incompetent and damage your image in the master's mind.

After hearing what Boss Wan said, although he still didn't understand the specifics of how to proceed, he immediately nodded in agreement, knowing that it was arranged by a master and had the effect of "revealing the truth": "Since the master has made arrangements, I am relieved. As for meeting Aunt Liu, that's easy! Just say that you want to inquire about how she has been taking care of her son recently. Boss Wan happens to be there and can help check if there are any oversights."

"That's excellent," Mr. Wan nodded slightly.

Then, after a slight hesitation, he said, "Master Zhou, why don't we set off for your residence immediately and proceed according to plan?"

Upon hearing this, Master Zhou repeatedly said, "Alright, alright! I'll do whatever Boss Wan and the master arrange! As long as we can find out the truth, anything is fine! The carriage is outside, shall we go now?" Hearing Boss Wan's words, Master Zhou was even more eager to go home; he couldn't wait to know the truth.

"Please, Master Zhou." Boss Wan gestured for him to enter, and together with Master Zhou, they walked out of the fortune-telling shop and boarded the carriage of the Zhou residence.

Inside the carriage, Mr. Zhou was still somewhat uneasy and couldn't help but confirm again: "Mr. Wan, can the talisman given by the master really make her reveal the truth? Will there be any problems?"

Boss Wan smiled slightly and reassured him with a confident tone: "Don't worry, Master Zhou. The master's skills are extraordinary. Since he has already made his move, he must be confident. When we arrive at your residence, you only need to make arrangements so that I can have a brief encounter with that Aunt Liu."

Whether the Truth Talisman works or not is for me to say. I actually used it back then and even found out about my stepmother whom I had suspected for many years.

However, it is not convenient to talk about such things with outsiders.

"Of course, of course!" Master Zhou assured him repeatedly.

As long as the truth can be found out, having contact with a concubine is not a big deal. Besides, Boss Wan has already taken one in. It was just a brief contact, and I'm still right here. It doesn't amount to anything.

Upon arriving at the Zhou residence, Master Zhou followed the plan, inviting Boss Wan to sit down and having a maid serve tea before summoning Concubine Liu.

Boss Wan was giving Master Zhou some instructions on what to pay attention to later.

Not long after, in a side hall of the Zhou residence.

Aunt Liu approached gracefully. She was about thirty years old and had a beautiful face, but her eyes and brows carried a lingering sorrow, making her appear at first glance to be a mother worried about her son.

Aunt Liu curtsied to Master Zhou and Boss Wan, and said demurely, "Master, what are your orders for summoning me here?"

Suppressing his complex emotions, Mr. Zhou said calmly, "This is Boss Wan, who is knowledgeable in health preservation and conditioning. I asked him to come and take a look at me, and by the way, I wanted to ask you how Rui'er is recovering these days, and whether you have been taking good care of her?"

Aunt Liu quickly replied, "My lord, Rui'er's appetite has improved recently, and he can even walk a few steps with the help of a cane. I personally prepare soup and medicine every day, and I dare not neglect him in the slightest."

The answer sounded like that of a loving mother, but Aunt Liu subconsciously avoided looking at Boss Wan while she spoke.

With a gentle smile, Boss Wan stepped forward and said, "Auntie, you've worked hard. Taking care of a patient is very tiring. I see that you have dark circles under your eyes. You need to take better care of yourself."

Aunt Liu felt that Boss Wan was a little too close to her, and subconsciously wanted to take a step back.

Before she could even take a step, she saw Boss Wan smoothly and naturally reach out from his sleeve and, with lightning speed, gently pat the Truth Talisman on Aunt Liu's shoulder.

Aunt Liu felt as if something had gently touched her arm. Before she could react, the talisman had already turned into a ray of light and instantly entered her body.

Seeing that the talisman had taken effect, Boss Wan turned around and sat down, nodding slightly to Master Zhou and saying, "Shall we begin the inquiry?"
