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

Chapter 863 Diligence
The bound man cried out that he was innocent, and the rough old woman who had bound him stuffed his mouth with a wad of cloth.

Miss Liu's face was taut, her voice filled with barely suppressed anger. She said to the rough old woman who was tying people up, "Take them away! Hand them over to the matron for careful interrogation. Make sure you find out who ordered this and what they did!"

Chen's personal maid, her eyes blazing with anger, responded and personally escorted the person to an empty room in the corner of the courtyard, where miscellaneous items were stored, ready to unleash her full power.

Tang Wan watched quietly from the side, without interfering in the specific interrogation.

Her job was simply to find the person; she didn't need to concern herself with the specifics.

Even though she had the Truth Talisman, which would make it easier for her to find out the truth, it was useless to her.

After all, she didn't have a deep relationship with the Duke of Anguo's family, and she was unwilling to have any deeper contact with them.

This is different from the northern desert. There are many prominent families in the capital, and there are many things to do. You might accidentally discover the secrets that people are trying so hard to hide.

Like the Second Madam of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion, the rights and wrongs involved are not something she wants to get involved in.

Although the old lady of the Duke of Anguo's mansion knew about her relationship with the Prince of War, she still thought that if she found out about his extraordinary secrets, it wouldn't be foolproof even with the Prince of War around. She should be more cautious.

Seeing that Liu Mingxuan had finished dealing with the situation, Tang Wan stepped forward and said gently, "Fourth sister, since the matron is interrogating us here, you don't need to worry for now. The most urgent matters are the health of the madam, those evil spirits, and finding the madam's missing personal items."

She paused for a moment, then said, "Madam still needs someone to watch over her and calm her down. Why don't you go back to your room and keep her company? I'll go to the west wing and see how to deal with those things first."

Upon hearing this, Miss Liu turned her gaze to the west wing, where the poison that might have killed her mother was stored. She felt both fear and a desire to see it destroyed.

After a moment's hesitation, Miss Liu shook her head and said firmly, "No, Sister Tang, I want to go with you. Xia He can stay with Mother for now; it's fine. These things have harmed my mother so much, I want to see them dealt with by my own eyes!"

Tang Wan looked at her, understanding her feelings at that moment, and nodded, saying, "Alright. Then let's go together. You just need to follow behind me, don't get close, and don't touch anything."

“I understand.” Miss Liu nodded vigorously, took a deep breath, and instructed Xia He, who was waiting beside her, “Xia He, go back and stay with Mother. If Mother wakes up, tell her that I’m going to prepare some things and will be back soon. Under no circumstances should Mother know about this, as it will only cause her more worry.”

My mother is weak, so we shouldn't worry too much about her right now. Once the curse is lifted and she has recovered somewhat, we will naturally inform her of these developments.

Xia He quickly agreed and hurried back to the main room.

Tang Wan and Miss Liu then headed towards the west wing.

Chunxing personally guarded the west wing, not allowing anyone else to get close.

When Chunxing saw her young mistress and Tang Wan coming together, she bowed and turned to unlock the door.

The west wing had been uninhabited for a long time, and although it was cleaned regularly, it still had a somewhat dusty feel.

Several items can be clearly seen placed side by side on the ground: two strangely shaped "lucky grass" plants and an inconspicuous withered flowerpot.

They were placed individually, with an empty space around them.

Chunxing was the last to enter, and she casually closed the door, cutting off outside light and sound, making the room even more eerie.

Miss Liu subconsciously moved closer to Tang Wan and held her breath.

Tang Wan remained calm as her gaze slowly swept over the flowerpots.

She could clearly "see" wisps of yin energy emanating from them.

"Fourth sister, step back and stand by the door," Tang Wan instructed softly, then took two steps forward and stopped as well. She closed her eyes, formed a simple hand seal in front of her, and drew a talisman in the air with her right hand, spiritual energy flowing from her fingertips. Then, she began to chant incantations that others could not understand. This was a purification incantation, used to purify the plants and the yin energy in the surrounding environment.

As she channeled her spiritual power, a faint golden halo gently swept across the evil creature on the ground like ripples on water.

Where the light touched, the surface of the plants emitted an extremely faint "sizzling" sound, which, though slight, was clearly audible in the quiet room.

Miss Liu stared in astonishment, then covered her mouth and nose tightly to prevent herself from accidentally crying out. This scene was completely unexpected and was something she had never seen before in her life.

She saw the leaves of the two pots of clover wither and turn black at a visible speed, and she saw faint black mist spreading out in the halo of light from the dead flowerpot.

This process lasted for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Tang Wan had beads of sweat on her forehead, clearly indicating that she had expended a lot of energy.

As the pale golden halo gradually faded, the chill in the room lessened considerably.

Miss Liu and her maid Chunxing seemed to feel much more relaxed and were no longer as gloomy as they had been at the beginning.

Tang Wan slowly stopped, then walked to the window and opened it a crack to let the lingering odor dissipate.

“We have sealed off the evil energy that was leaking out,” Tang Wan said, turning to Miss Liu. “They will no longer cause any additional harm to Madam, which will also make it easier for us to handle the situation later. Once night falls and the old lady has prepared all the necessary items, we can begin to lift the curse on Madam.”

Miss Liu looked at the plants on the ground, then at Tang Wan's tired face, walked to Tang Wan's side, and bowed deeply: "Sister Tang, I will never forget your great kindness."

"Don't say that." Tang Wan helped her up. "Let's go see Madam first, and then you need to rest for a while. We still have a lot to do tonight."

The two left the west wing, and Chunxing locked the door again before returning to the main room together.

While Tang Wan was busy tending to the plants, the flower-viewing banquet at the Anguo Duke's waterside pavilion was drawing to a close.

The guests began to leave in twos and threes.

After his brief conversation with Tang Wan under the magnolia tree, the War King did not deliberately seek her out again.

He followed Young Master Liu to several places in the garden, exchanged a few pleasantries with people, and then made an excuse to stay in Young Master Liu's courtyard.

Young Master Liu, having received orders from his grandmother to treat the honored guest with respect, naturally did not refuse the War King's request, and thus took the War King back to his own courtyard.

The two of them spent a considerable amount of time in the study.

As the banquet was about to end, the War King bid farewell to the young master of the Liu family.

Young Master Liu saw them off with great courtesy, and the two returned together to the hall where guests were being seen off.

By this time, most of the guests had left, with only a few close relatives still saying goodbye to the host.

The War King's gaze swept casually across the crowd, trying to find Tang Wan's figure.

But he only saw Madam Wang, Tang Jing, and the two ladies talking with smiles, and he did not see Tang Wan.

The War King frowned almost imperceptibly between his brows.
