A four-year-old medical prodigy descended to the mortal realm, and the entire capital sought her tre

Aunt Song's legs were weak, and she returned to the house a little later than the others.

When Zhou Ruo saw Aunt Song, she saw that Aunt Song was surrounded by black energy, and her vital energy was tightly wrapped by the black energy.

If an ordinary person were to encounter such a fate, they would surely die within three days.

When Aunt Song saw the two dolls in Zhou Ruo's hands, she collapsed to the ground.

At that moment, she realized that she was probably doomed, but she was unwilling to accept it.

After so many years of meticulous planning and waiting, when success was within reach, how could it suddenly...?

When Zhao Jinzhong picked up the needle-pricked doll and looked at it, his heart felt as if it had been pricked by a needle.

The blood-stained name, the dense array of silver needles on her legs, and the blood-sealing acupoints—it was truly shocking!

Zhao Yucheng saw it and took the doll from Zhao Jinzhong's hand.

When he saw the name on the doll's back, a surge of anger shot from his center to the top of his head.

It's unbelievable that someone in his household, a first-rank general, would use such witchcraft.

The person targeted was none other than his only blood relative!

Ji Ping also moved closer to Zhao Yucheng, and when she saw the two dolls, she was so frightened that she took two steps back.

Granny Wang helped her so she didn't fall.

Only now did Ji Ping truly realize that her son had suffered for so long because he had been harmed by someone else.

She, as the mother, didn't even notice.

A strong sense of self-blame welled up within Ji Ping, and she experienced unbearable chest pain.

"Loyalty? Where did this come from?" Zhao Yucheng suppressed his anger, wanting to confirm the answer.

Zhou Ruo pointed at Aunt Song behind the crowd and said loudly, "She did it!"

Everyone turned around and looked at Aunt Song.

Aunt Song's pale face revealed a hint of panic, but her eyes darted around, and she said instead:

"You brat, how dare you slander me without any evidence? I can have the general lock you up in the dungeon!"

"These two dolls were found in that niche in your room!" Zhou Ruo said calmly, without any panic or anger.

"Hmph, who knows if you brought this in from outside to frame me!" Aunt Song continued to struggle.

"You!" Zhou Ruo saw that Aunt Song was acting shamelessly, but she couldn't say that she could see the black aura, since others couldn't.

Just as Zhou Ruo was still pondering how to respond, Zhao Jinzhong spoke up:

"Wu Jia, bring the person in!"

At a command, Li Daoshi was dragged into the house by Wu Jia and slammed heavily to the ground next to Aunt Song.

Li the Taoist priest had disheveled hair, lifeless eyes, and looked half-dead.

When Aunt Song saw him for the first time, she almost didn't recognize him.

When she finally saw the person beside her, she realized it was the same Taoist priest who had once helped her poison Zhao Jinzhong, helped her achieve her wish, and was omnipotent.

Her previously weak and powerless body suddenly found strength, and Aunt Song screamed, "Ah—you you you...how...!"

But she quickly changed her mind, pretending not to recognize him, and demanded, "Who are you?!"

Zhao Jinzhong scoffed, "Aunt Song, you've already turned your back on me so quickly?"

"Zhong'er, what exactly is going on?" Zhao Yucheng looked at it for a long time but was still completely confused.

"Father, Mother, you don't know this, it was Aunt Song who colluded with this Taoist priest to harm me like this."

Zhao Jinzhong gritted his teeth and stared fiercely at Aunt Song.

"What did you say?" Zhao Yucheng couldn't believe it. "Zhong'er, wasn't your leg injured by the horse? How come..."

Zhao Yucheng was incredibly brave and had made outstanding military achievements, so how could he not have noticed that his own son had been harmed by people in his household for so long?

Thinking of this, Zhao Yucheng hesitated, but also felt a pang of guilt.

But such a big matter must have evidence. He needs to find out the truth, give his son justice, and punish the evildoers.

"Zhong'er, you can't just accuse people of these things. Do you have any evidence to prove that these two items belong to Aunt Song?"

Just as Aunt Song said, the baby might have been deliberately placed there by someone with ulterior motives.

"Father, Ruoruo saw with her own eyes that this doll with my name on it was given to Aunt Song by this Taoist priest."

Upon hearing Zhao Jinzhong's words, Zhao Yucheng turned his gaze to Zhou Ruo.

Since this child came to the manor, he has always been able to uncover problems that the people in the manor have never been able to find. Why is that?

"How did Ruo'er discover that the Taoist priest had given something to Aunt Song?" Zhao Yucheng asked cautiously.

Zhao Jinzhong then recounted how he discovered that Aunt Song was suspicious and how he planted spies in Ningxiang Courtyard.

How did they discover that Taoist Li had entered Ningxiang Courtyard, and why did Zhou Ruo enter Ningxiang Courtyard and witness those scenes?

Finally, the story unfolds in detail how Li the Taoist was captured.

Zhou Ruo also continued Zhao Jinzhong's words and explained:

"Yes, Father, Wu Ding and I came to this house just now and found these two dolls in the shrine."

Wu Ding also stepped forward and said, "Yes, General!"

"My master taught me how to counteract these kinds of spells. I just used a spell on the doll; Aunt Song should have reacted, right?"

Zhou Ruo looked at the person in front of her, wanting to confirm whether Aunt Song had any reaction.

Zhao Jinzhong nodded and said, "Yes, Aunt Song vomited a large mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground."

That's right. Zhou Ruo glared at Aunt Song and said, "That person is really wicked!"

Ji Ping, who had been patiently listening from the side, finally spoke up: "Husband, I believe what Ruo'er said."

Zhao Yucheng nodded slightly, then walked up to Li Daoshi and kicked him hard. Li Daoshi cried out and fell backward.

"You scoundrel! How dare you use such witchcraft in my residence, and even on my son! You deserve to die!"

Zhao Yucheng looked at the Taoist priest and Aunt Song with a cold and murderous gaze. These words were also meant for Aunt Song to hear.

Upon hearing the words "death penalty," the dizzy Taoist priest Li suddenly felt better.

"General, spare my life! It was all Aunt Song's doing that the old Taoist priest did!"

Li the Taoist priest struggled to his feet, knelt before Zhao Yucheng, and cried as he said:

"It was Aunt Song who offered me a large sum of money in order to climb the social ladder, that's why I helped her..."

Li the Taoist priest firmly believed from beginning to end that his magic would definitely help Aunt Song achieve her wish.

Aunt Song's wish was to suppress Zhao Jinzhong, have a son or daughter of her own, and eventually replace Ji Ping as the head of the household.

Now that things have come to this, although the Taoist priest doesn't know which link went wrong, saving his life is the most important thing right now.

"Nonsense! I don't know you at all, why are you slandering me like this!"

Aunt Song was terrified by Li Daoshi's words and broke out in a cold sweat. Her will to survive made her weak body almost stand up.

"Aunt Song, it's come to this, just confess! There's no going back! I don't want to die..."

The Taoist priest wept bitterly, filled with regret.

"You've all gone mad! You're all insane! Why are you all targeting me?! Huh?!"

Aunt Song vehemently denied it, and her innocent appearance almost made Zhao Yucheng waver in his suspicions about her.
