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

Chapter 886 Comprehensive
When Madam Wu saw the words clearly, she swayed and almost fell over.

Tang Wan threw the straw figure onto the bed, quickly helped Madam Wu to a chair, and sat her down.

"Don't worry, Madam, I'm here!" Tang Wan quickly reassured Madam Wu.

Then, Tang Wan walked to the bedside and took out a talisman for warding off evil spirits from her sleeve.

Tang Wan didn't touch the scarecrow again. She simply activated her spiritual power at her fingertips and flicked the talisman, which then landed on the scarecrow.

Then Tang Wan activated her spiritual power, and a beam of light entered Madam Wu's eyes. Madam Wu's legs were no longer weak at this moment, and she stood up and quickly walked behind Tang Wan.

A moment later, the straw man turned to ashes, leaving only the needles stuck in the straw man, which had dimmed considerably and lay forlornly on the bed.

Seeing this, Madam Wu asked Tang Wan with trembling hands, "Miss Tang, that thing... that thing..."

Tang Wan turned around, wrapped the needle in a talisman, swept the pile of powder off the bed, and said calmly to Madam Wu, "That thing is gone. From now on, it will never harm anyone again."

Hearing Tang Wan's affirmative answer, Madam Wu felt much more at ease.

Tang Wan looked at Madam Wu and said, "Madam, please wait a moment. Let me look around and see if there are any others."

Although Wu Huaijin was under the influence of a curse, he also had some other symptoms. She had some guesses about it, but she still needed to find more evidence.

Tang Wan ignored Madam Wu and searched the room thoroughly.

Sure enough, a palm-sized wooden box was found in a hidden compartment of the cabinet.

The box contained a stack of yellow paper with runes drawn on it, and a small packet of dark red powder.

Tang Wan picked up a bit of powder, brought it close to her nose and smelled it, her expression changing slightly.

"The powder of Yin Ning Flower," Tang Wan said in a deep voice.

This Yin Ning Flower is unique to the Southern Frontier. It has the effect of catalyzing soul power and enhancing spells. Moreover, it has another effect: it can induce hallucinations.

This is probably why Wu Huaijin felt that someone was watching him and looking for him for no reason.

Tang Wan looked at Madam Wu and slowly said, "This Yin Ning Flower is unique to the Southern Frontier and can enhance the power of spells. This kind of thing is not something that a woman like Madam Zhou, confined to her household, could obtain."

Madam Wu's face was deathly pale. She leaned on the table, her lips trembling, unable to utter a word.

Tang Wan didn't try to comfort Madam Wu anymore. What she said was true, and Madam Wu had the right to know the truth.

Tang Wan put away the Yin Ning Flower and said gently, "I'll take this with me for now; it might lead to some clues. As for Madam Zhou, please keep a close eye on it."

Upon hearing this, Madam Wu raised her voice and said, "Someone come here!"

The head maid who was waiting outside rushed in.

Madam Wu gritted her teeth and said angrily, "Go and find Madam Zhou! No matter where she is, immediately take her to the woodshed and lock her up! When my husband returns, I will interrogate her myself!"

The old woman was taken aback, but then she understood and turned to call someone.

"Wait a minute," Tang Wan suddenly said.

Madam Wu and the old nanny both looked at her.

Tang Wan thought for a moment before slowly saying, "Madam Zhou is unaware that things have been exposed. When you send someone to arrest her, Madam, do not make a fuss. Just say that Huai Jing needs to see her and asks her to go there. Once she arrives, arrest her quietly."

To prevent her from noticing something was wrong and running away or informing on the person behind it, which would likely cause even more trouble.

Madam Wu nodded repeatedly and said to the old woman, "Did you hear that? Do as Miss Tang says, and don't alert her."

The old woman took her orders and left. Tang Wan then accompanied Madam Wu back home.

Madam Wu's steps were still weak, so Tang Wan gently supported her.

Seeing this, Tang Wan comforted him, "Madam, Huai Jing will be alright. The straw figure has been destroyed, and the person who cast the spell suffered a backlash and can't take care of things here for the time being. You can relax. Besides, I've set up a protective array, so there won't be any problems."

Madam Wu nodded, her eyes reddening again: "Miss Tang, I really wouldn't dare to imagine this if it weren't for you."

Tang Wan shook her head and did not reply.

The two walked back to the main courtyard, where Madam Wu invited Tang Wan to sit down and personally poured her tea, which calmed her down a bit.

“Miss Tang,” she began hesitantly, “that Madam Zhou, she nursed me for three years, and I have never treated her badly, why would she…”

Feeling troubled, Madam Wu confided her doubts to Tang Wan.

Tang Wan was silent for a moment, then said, "Human hearts are unpredictable. No matter the reason, the facts are the facts. Madam, there is no need to worry about this. Once the case is cleared up, we will deal with it as appropriate."

Madam Wu nodded, then sighed.

Before long, the head maid returned to report, lowering her voice, "Madam, Madam Zhou has been locked in the woodshed. As Miss Tang said, no one else was alerted."

Madam Wu waved her hand, dismissing her, and then looked at Tang Wan: "Miss Tang, is there anything else we need to do with Huai Jing today?"

Tang Wan nodded slightly and said, "The formation I set up in his room just now is enough to protect him. I will come to break the formation in seven days."

After hearing Tang Wan say this several times, Madam Wu finally felt at ease.

Seeing this, Tang Wan said nothing more, only bid farewell to Madam Wu and prepared to leave.

Madam Wu quickly had someone bring out the prepared thank-you gifts. Madam Wu had someone bring out a box containing a stack of silver notes, with a pair of jade bracelets on top of the silver notes.

Tang Wan hesitated for a moment, but finally accepted the gift as a token of her gratitude.

Before leaving, Tang Wan took one last look at Wu Huaijing.

The child was already asleep, but was still clutching the talisman she had given him.

Tang Wan was pleased to see this, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly. She then kindly comforted Madam Wu with a few words, making her feel even more at ease.

Afterwards, Madam Wu personally escorted Tang Wan out of the mansion.

As soon as Tang Wan got into the carriage, she concealed the packet of medicine powder in her sleeve and put it into her spatial storage.

When the carriage stopped at the Tang residence, it was already getting dark.

Tang Wan got out of the car, and Zhu Xi quickly stepped forward to help her.

As soon as the two women entered the second gate, an old woman came up to them and said, "Second Miss is finally back. Madam has sent people to inquire twice."

Tang Wan nodded. She had originally planned to go back to her room to tell the War King about her discovery that day, but then she thought that it wouldn't make a difference if she spent a little more time. So she took Zhu Xi and headed straight for the Wang family's courtyard.

Wang was doing needlework when she heard footsteps. She looked up, put down her work, pulled Tang Wan to sit down beside her, and asked, "Why are you so late? How is the young master of the Wu family?"

Tang Wan nodded slightly and replied, "Young Master is fine now, but he needs to rest for a few days. I will go and check on him again in seven days."

When Wang heard Tang Wan say this, she didn't ask any more questions. Although she didn't understand her second daughter's ways, she was relieved to hear that her daughter was alright.

Just then, Tang Jing arrived, and the three of them, mother and daughters, continued talking while waiting for Tang Bojun.
