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

Why Chapter 883
Madam Wang quickly had someone offer her a seat and tea. After exchanging a few pleasantries, she noticed that Madam Wu was distracted and her gaze kept falling on Tang Wan.

Madam Wang was somewhat puzzled, but she didn't show it on her face. She asked, "Madam, is there something you need today?"

Madam Wu bit her lip and finally spoke: "To be honest, I came here today because of what happened at the teahouse the other day."

She looked at Tang Wan, her eyes slightly red: "Miss Tang, that day you gave me a peace charm, and I put it on my son when I got home. For the first two days, he was indeed much better. He stopped trembling and was able to sleep soundly. My family and I breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the matter was over."

She paused, her voice trembling slightly: "But who knew... who knew that this morning, he started acting strangely again."

Tang Wan's brows furrowed slightly: "What's wrong with it?"

“He…he started trembling again, even more so than that day.” Madam Wu clenched her handkerchief tightly. “His eyes were fixed, and he was muttering something. When we got closer to listen, it sounded like he was saying ‘Don’t come any closer,’ ‘It wasn’t me’…but when we asked him what he saw, he couldn’t say. We called the imperial physician, who said he was physically fine, but probably just still shaken. He prescribed some calming medicine, but it didn’t work.”

As she spoke, tears rolled down her cheeks: "I really had no other choice but to invite my husband back. When he learned that you had given Master Tang's amulet to my son, he thought that you and Master Tang had some connection, so I shamelessly came to ask Miss Tang for advice."

She initially didn't believe the girl in front of her knew these things, but her husband was certain that the girl who could give their son Master Tang's talisman must not be making things up; she must know something.

Wang was alarmed but didn't dare to interrupt, so she just looked at Tang Wan.

Tang Wan hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Madam Wu, please don't stand on ceremony. What about the amulet? Is it still with your young master?"

"Yes, yes," Madam Wu hurriedly replied. "I didn't dare take it off; I've always had him wear it close to his body."

Tang Wan nodded, then asked, "Has the talisman changed at all?"

Madam Wu thought about it carefully for a moment, then hesitated and said, "Changes? I didn't pay much attention. But when I was changing his clothes this morning, I seemed to see that the edges of the talisman were a bit black, as if it had been scorched by fire. I was just too anxious at the time to think much about it."

After listening, Tang Wan had already made up her mind.

She looked up at Madam Wu, her tone gentle yet firm: "Madam, the talisman is blackened, it's not broken, it's blocking something."

Madam Wu was startled: "Blocked something? Blocked...blocked what?"

Tang Wan did not answer directly, but asked, "When your son fell off the horse that day, was there anyone else who fell with him? Or was there anything unusual about the horse?"

Madam Wu thought carefully and said, "I asked the people at the Imperial Academy, and they said that during the riding and archery class that day, several horses suddenly became restless. My son's horse was the most aggressive and threw him off. If the riding and archery instructor hadn't been quick-witted and rushed over to grab him and roll away, he probably would have fallen even harder."

"Are the other horses restless too?" Tang Wan pressed.

"Yes, but only my son's horse went mad," said Madam Wu. "At the time, I thought the horse was just startled, but now that you ask, could it be... could it not have been an accident?"

Tang Wan nodded slightly and said, "I'm afraid it's not an accident."

She paused for a moment, then continued, "When we met at the teahouse that day, I noticed that Madam's face looked ashen, so I knew that someone in the household had been disturbed. Now that the talisman has turned black, it means that what offended her was more powerful than I had imagined."

Upon hearing Tang Wan's words, Madam Wu hurriedly said, "My husband also said that he was afraid that something had been done wrong. He also said that Master Tang Yi is very capable and must have some connection with Miss Tang Er. Could you please ask Master Tang Yi to take a look at my son's current situation? I know this request is presumptuous, but I am really desperate."

Tang Wan listened quietly, her face expressionless.

Wang listened from the side and had some thoughts, but she didn't intend to say anything. She just listened quietly, but she was a little surprised.

Tang Wan was silent for a moment, then suddenly sighed softly. She looked at Madam Wu, her gaze calm, and said in a gentle tone, "Madam, you don't need to look for Mr. Tang Yi anymore."

Madam Wu was taken aback: "Why?"

Tang Wan leaned forward slightly and slowly said, "Because the person you are looking for is sitting right in front of you right now."

Madam Wu was stunned.

Tang Wan continued to explain, "The Mr. Tang Yi who went to your residence that day to perform the ritual for Grand Secretary Wu was me. Because I had difficulty walking that day, I dressed as a man and used the alias Tang Yi."

Madam Wu opened her mouth, but couldn't say a word for a moment.

She stared blankly at the young woman in front of her.

She was only fifteen or sixteen years old, with a pretty face, a calm demeanor, and spoke in a slow and steady manner, just like any other daughter of an official.

But this very person came to the door when her father-in-law was seriously ill and used mystical arts to pull him back from the brink of death.

Madam Wu stammered, "This... this young lady is... is that Mr. Tang?"

Tang Wan said gently, "It's alright if you don't believe me, but please rest assured, now that I know about your son's matter, I will not stand idly by."

Madam Wu stared blankly at Tang Wan. Although the girl in front of her was incredibly young, for some reason, she believed that she would not lie to her.

Moreover, given my situation that day, the more I thought about it, the more I felt it was a wise person; otherwise, they would have been able to give me a good luck charm.

Madam Wu suddenly stood up and gave Tang Wan a deep bow.

“Miss Tang,” she said, her voice choked with emotion, “I was blind and did not recognize you. I beg you to save my son.”

Tang Wan quickly stood up to help her up: "Madam, there's no need for that. I will do my best to help your son."

Tang Wan invited Madam Wu to sit down again and asked, "Madam, would you be willing to tell me if your son went anywhere or did anything unknown to others before he fell off his horse?"

Madam Wu was stunned for a long time before saying, "I really don't know. He goes to the Imperial Academy every day and returns home after class. There is nothing unusual about him."

"And what about your residence?" Tang Wan asked again. "Have any strangers been coming and going lately? Or have any new items been added?"

Madam Wu thought carefully for a moment, then shook her head and said, "No. Everything in the manor is as usual."

Tang Wan remained silent.

Madam Wu hurriedly asked, "Miss Tang, what exactly did my son offend? That amulet can only protect him once, but can it protect him a second time? I really don't know what to do."

After listening, Tang Wan took out a peace talisman from her sleeve and handed it over, saying, "Madam, please go back first and have your son take this new peace talisman with him. I will go to the manor this afternoon to take a look; I need to see the situation in person to know the details."

Upon hearing Tang Wan's words, Madam Wu thanked her repeatedly and pleaded with her again before taking her leave with her maid.
