Chapter 41
Ning Shuangyu's words made everyone in the room turn their probing eyes on her.The old lady's eyes were even more tinged with resentment.

"You, you...it's all you! Look at what you have done to the men in my Ning Mansion! If Desheng wasn't always in the mansion, I'm afraid I'd be infected by you!" All the things that happened were strung together, and all the blame was on Ning Erlan.

"Grandmother, Erlan dare not take this charge. Erlan will not admit these illusory and groundless things." Ning Erlan sneered in her heart, and she could see all the changes in the expressions of everyone in the room without changing her expression.

She said why these people hadn't moved for so long, it turned out that they were still waiting for her!

"It's not you, who else is there if it's not you, who in this mansion ran out of the mansion just like you?" Ning Shuangyu screamed dissatisfied.Jiang Jing had left Shancheng not long ago, and before he left, he never came to see him, and only left a letter, which annoyed her for a long time.But the contents of the letter filled her with hope!

"Second sister, it's best not to be so sure about unfounded things, otherwise when the truth is revealed, others will think you are ignorant." Which one can really care about family affection? If so, why should she let herself beg for perfection?She is not a real ancient person, and she can really meet the harsh requirements for women in ancient times.

So, up to now, she no longer wants to bother to hide her true nature.

"You, do you ever talk to Second Sister like this?" Ning Shuangyu was annoyed by Ning Erlan's merciless words.

"It's the other way around! You unfilial sons and grandsons, what has the Wen family taught you all these years! Come on, arrest this unfilial man and lock him in the firewood room!" The old lady put the porcelain cup in her hand It fell to Ning Erlan's feet, with an angry look on his face.But Ning Erlan saw a hint of calculation in her eyes.

"Grandmother, don't be so angry. It's wrong for the third sister to do this, but she still manages the thousand acres of fertile fields outside. If you lock her up, what will happen to those fields outside?" Ning With a worried face, Qing Yan stepped forward to support the old lady to give her comfort, and also pleaded for Ning Erlan with a worried face.

But this pleading word hit the old lady's heart.

"Hmph! Those medicine fields were originally intended for your elder brother, so of course they have to be taken back. Your elder brother is away all day with nothing to do, so let him take over." The old lady waved her hands and said with a seemingly powerless heart.

This decision made Aunt Lin dissatisfied, but she also knew that it was not the time to say it, so she could only endure it.She had heard that Ning Erlan planted a lot of good things in that medicine field, how could they take advantage of this cheap price for nothing!
Seeing these people dominating other people's things without knowing it, Ning Erlan almost laughed out loud.

Seeing the coldness in her eyes, the two maidservants who wanted to grab Ning Erlan became a little scared.

"Grandmother tends to forget things when she's getting old, not to mention that I own the title deed of the thousand-acre medicine field. Just now, the second sister said that the field was cursed, and now the elder brother is fine, don't... come out when the time comes... What happened to an accident, and it was on Erlan's body again, Erlan can't afford it!"

"That's right, old lady, it's not too late to talk about the matter in this field in the future. This house is not clean, why don't you invite an old man to do a ritual to find out the root of the disaster." After hearing Ning Erlan's words, Aunt Lin echoed road.

Aunt Lin glanced at Ning Shaoliang who was tied to the bed, then at the people in the room, and finally nodded.Money is important, but she still cares about her grandson.

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you. As for you..." The old lady's eyes fell on Ning Erlan. "Just stay in your yard obediently and don't go anywhere!"

"Yes." Ning Erlan answered in a low voice, but her mind was spinning rapidly.

At noon, Ning Guoan lost his temper after returning home, and wanted to rush to Ning Erlan's yard to question, but was stopped by the old lady.

In Jingyu courtyard, Ning Erlan watched the herbs growing better in the courtyard, and the unhappiness in the morning gradually dissipated.

"Miss, what they did was deceiving people too much!" Knowing what happened this morning, Ning Erlan was very upset.The saddest thing is that they don't even have anyone to complain!
"Don't be anxious, this will only fall into their trap. Go to your mother's yard and remind Shuangxi and Shuangyue sisters to be more vigilant and pay attention to the movements in the yard."

"Yes, the servant will go here."

Ning Erlan's eyes fell lightly on the two little maids who were sweeping the courtyard, which Aunt Lin assigned to her a month ago, and two second-class maids.

The next day.

The old lady called everyone into the front yard.

The old lady, who was wearing a dark blue flowered Confucian dress, looked a little tired at this moment, obviously Ning Shaoliang's affairs made her worry a lot.

Ning Guoan, who was sitting next to him, was wearing a crimson robe today, which added a gloomy aura to his whole body.

Obviously, Ning Erlan was the last one to enter the house.As soon as she walked in, all eyes in the room fell on her.

"Greetings to Daddy and Grandma."

"Get up."

Ning Guoan's eyes fell on Ning Erlan with restrained anger, it seemed that this biological father hated him very much.It should start from the time she healed his wounds...

"Don't sit down, stand by the door." Ning Guoan said with some disgust.He is superstitious about ghosts and gods, and now hearing people say that she brought "dirty things" back to harm the Ning family, he really wants to set her on fire and burn her to death!
Ning Erlan paused, and stood near the door without any change in expression.

Ning Shuangyu looked at her with a sneer of disdain, but she didn't care.

"I already know what happened yesterday. Today, Aunt Lin specially invited the senior Taoist priest from Qingyun Temple to come and do something for the Ning Mansion. She must find out the scourge hidden in the mansion!"

Ning Erlan raised her eyebrows lightly.Although she didn't know much about Taoist temples, she had heard of Qingyun Temple.It was a hundred-year-old Taoist temple established by the emperor, located on the Phoenix Mountain outside the imperial city.Aunt Lin is so proud of herself that she was able to invite the Taoist priest there!

"Bring the Taoist priest up here."

Because he is a prestigious old Taoist leader, he has long since left the secular world, so there is nothing to shy away from.

Not long after, a man in his forties wearing a Taoist robe walked in.

The Taoist priest just came in and his eyes first fell on the few young ladies who were not out of the cabinet.Then they looked at Ning Guoan and the old lady who were sitting in the main seat.

The man's face was quite upright, but his eyes, which were always shining with obscenity and evil, were annoying.But he hid it well.

"Poverty Wuchen is being polite." Wuchen said with a humble face as he flicked the fur in his hand.

Looking at his behavior, the old lady and Ning Guoan firmly believed that his origin was true. "The Taoist priest doesn't need to be polite, please sit down quickly."

After some "in-depth talks", Wuchen decided to hold a ceremony for every courtyard in the mansion.

"Every yard? This..." The old lady frowned in embarrassment.It's okay for her to be an old woman and a man, but there are still many young ladies who have not left the court in the mansion, how can they let outside men enter at will?
"Master Daoist, you don't need to go to every yard, you just need to figure out which yard the unclean one is in." Aunt Ming looked at Wuchen with a certain meaning in her eyes and said.

"This... is also feasible. Let Pindao calculate where the evil thing is first." Wuchen stood up, then walked outside the house, and asked the followers to bring the gossip plate.

"Over there! It's so dark!" Afterwards, Wu Chen pointed.Everyone looked in that direction, it was a relatively remote location in Ning Mansion, where Wen's family and Aunt Zhao happened to live.

"Don't you miscalculate the wrong direction because your hands are shaking." Ning Erlan said coldly, Wuchen looked up.

Today, Ning Erlan sent a silver-blue long dress embroidered with snowflakes specially made by Wen for her, and a ribbon that had been flying for two days was hanging on the skirt.The whole set of dresses is still changing lightly in the sun.She just let Xinyue comb her hair casually.A white jade hairpin set off his fair and tender complexion more radiantly.Although it is not national beauty, it is so beautiful.

Wuchen was so attracted by Ning Erlan's appearance that he forgot about his business, staring at her with a pair of eyes, he almost reached the state of ecstasy.

"Daoist, Wuchen Daoist?"

"Ah, ah? What's wrong with Taoist priest? Is there something wrong with Erlan?" Ning Guoan asked curiously as Ning Erlan recovered.

Of course, Aunt Lin also saw Wu Chen's extreme gaffe just now.Quite dissatisfied. "Daoist, do you think it's time to do this at this time?"

"Ah, yes, yes, set up an altar."

A group of people walked outside Wen's courtyard.The people who followed were about to walk into the yard.

"Wait a minute." Ning Erlan called to stop those people.

"Third Sister, Elder Sister knows that you are worried about Madam, but the Taoist priest is exorcising evil spirits for Madam, maybe Madam's illness will be cured after a ceremony."

Ning Erlan hummed softly in her heart, did she think she was a child who didn't understand anything?It's too obvious what Ning Shuangyu's idea is.

"The Taoist priest is highly respected, so how could he not know the rules of etiquette? This is the yard of the mistress of the Ning Mansion, and the mother is unwell, so the Taoist priest will definitely not have the heart to disturb her. This ritual does not care about this wall, I think the Taoist priest , you should do it outside the courtyard." She would never let these messy people bother Wen Shi.

"But, this..."

"What? Is the Taoist priest going to say that he is powerless across a wall? This can't help but make people doubt your Taoist skills..."

Wuchen was silenced by Ning Erlan's words, it's not like he didn't say anything.

"Since this is the case, the Taoist priest should do it outside the courtyard." The old lady weighed it over and over again, and nodded in agreement with Ning Erlan's words.

There is no other way, Wuchen can only set up an altar outside the courtyard, so he can do it.

"Sky spirits and earth spirits... demons and ghosts appear soon! Ha!"

Ning Erlan couldn't help laughing at Wu Chen's hard work, this appearance was no different from those Maoshan Taoist priests on TV in her previous life.
