Chapter 16 The Taoist's Conspiracy
After Wang Mama whispered a few words in Ji Ping's ear, Ji Ping stepped forward and took the doll with Zhao Jinzhong's name written on it.
Ji Ping forcefully tore the doll open, revealing a yellow talisman hidden inside a wad of white cotton.
"That's right, Madam, that should be it!" Granny Wang said confidently.
Ji Ping took out the talisman and unfolded it. There was Zhao Jinzhong's birth date and time written on it, along with a bloody "death" character.
With trembling hands, she handed the talisman to Zhao Yucheng and walked directly towards Aunt Song.
"I usually let your petty schemes slide out of consideration for the harmony of the household, but I will never allow you to harm my son!"
After Ji Ping finished speaking, she stepped forward and was about to tear open Aunt Song's clothes.
Just now, Granny Wang told her that in cases like this, the person performing the spell and the doll usually have corresponding objects on them.
That's why Ji Ping suddenly took the doll apart and then went to look for it on Aunt Song.
Aunt Song struggled fiercely to prevent Ji Ping from tearing her clothes, shouting in protest, "What are you doing?!"
Chuntao also stepped forward to stop Ji Ping, protecting her mistress.
Upon seeing this, Granny Wang and Siqiao immediately followed, one grabbing Chuntao and the other holding down Aunt Song.
Zhao Yucheng was shocked after seeing the talisman that Ji Ping handed him.
He never even imagined that the word "death" would be related to his son.
He couldn't understand why Aunt Song was doing this, and stared blankly as Ji Ping started to touch Aunt Song.
Ji Ping forcefully tore open Aunt Song's outer garment and found the purse that Aunt Song had sewn onto her clothes inside.
She ripped the purse off and opened it to find a talisman inside that was exactly the same as the one on the doll.
Ji Ping took two steps back helplessly, clutching the talisman tightly in her hand.
Gritting her teeth, she questioned Aunt Song, "What other excuses do you have in store?"
After a struggle, Aunt Song's hair fell loose and her clothes were torn and disheveled.
"Hehehe..." Seeing that her plan had been exposed, Aunt Song began to sneer.
"Hahahaha..." After a moment of cold laughter, it turned into wild laughter.
She looked exactly like a madwoman, and her laughter sent chills down your spine.
Zhou Ruo had never seen a mortal go mad before, and Aunt Song's madness made her a little scared.
She grabbed Zhao Jinzhong's clothes and hid behind his wheelchair.
He asked Zhao Jinzhong in a low voice, "Brother, what...what happened to her?"
"Don't be afraid, Ruoruo, I'll protect you," Zhao Jinzhong comforted her.
"The Song family!" Having never experienced the infighting in the inner court, Zhao Yucheng finally regained his general's rationality.
"How dare you collude with outsiders to harm Zhong'er? What is your purpose?"
"When have I, Zhao Yucheng, ever mistreated you? Your monthly allowance for food, clothing, and other necessities is almost the same as that of your wife."
"What are your true intentions in wanting to kill Zhong'er like this?"
Zhao Yucheng really couldn't understand why Aunt Song would do such a thing.
"We haven't mistreated you?" When Aunt Song heard Zhao Yucheng say this, tears streamed down her face.
"Ha... Zhao Yucheng, you've been fighting on the front lines for years. Now that you've finally returned, how many days of tenderness have you spared me?"
As Aunt Song recalled the years she had been married into the Zhao family, all the grievances in her heart turned into tears.
"I have been married to you for more than ten years, but I have not borne you a single child."
"I found Taoist Li, and only after asking did I realize it was him!"
Aunt Song suddenly pointed at Zhao Jinzhong and said angrily:
"It's because your fate, son, is too strong, that it has suppressed my fertility, causing me to be unable to conceive for so many years!"
Everyone was shocked upon hearing this, but even more so, they were puzzled: Could such a strange thing really happen?
Zhao Yucheng frowned, his voice filled with anguish, and asked, "You! You... you actually believed in these heretical doctrines and committed such a heinous act?"
For many years, he only wanted to win battles and serve the court, and never paid much attention to the inner courtyard of his mansion.
He couldn't deny what Aunt Song said about how much he owed her, and his tough tone softened slightly.
Aunt Song began to recall, saying, "I didn't intend to do such a thing!"
"During the two years that Jinzhong was paralyzed, I felt much more relaxed."
"But not long ago, I suddenly felt extremely unwell, and it was only then that Taoist Li gave me the idea that I should die loyally in order to find relief."
She looked at the Taoist priest Li beside her with resentment.
The Taoist priest who had assured her that everything was foolproof was now blaming her for all the mistakes.
When Li Daoshi was looked at like that, he trembled and moved to the side.
Zhou Ruo peeked out and quietly asked Zhao Jinzhong:
"Brother, what did Aunt Song mean by that?"
Suppressing his hatred for Aunt Song, Zhao Jinzhong patiently explained to Zhou Ruo:
"Aunt Song said that because I am alive, she cannot have children."
"Nonsense!" Zhou Ruo thought that Aunt Song was not only bad, but also utterly absurdly bad.
Zhou Ruo suddenly raised her voice, and seeing everyone's eyes turn to her, she stepped out from behind her wheelchair and said:
"Aunt Song can't have a baby, and it's not because of my brother!"
Zhou Ruo's words surprised everyone even more.
"Ruoruo, don't be afraid, tell me slowly, what did you mean by what you just said?"
Zhao Jinzhong knew that Zhou Ruo wouldn't speak recklessly, so he encouraged her to speak boldly.
"The reason why Aunt Song couldn't have a baby was because the dark plaque in her shrine was suppressing it."
Zhou Ruo's words shocked everyone present once again, but the first to jump out was Li Daoshi.
"Nonsense! What do you know, you little kid?"
Zhou Ruo had noticed a ring of grayish gas around Aunt Song's abdomen long ago.
At first, Zhou Ruo thought that the gray and black auras were both evil auras, without deliberately separating them to think about them in detail.
When she entered Aunt Song's room, she saw the gas enveloping the black spirit tablet in the shrine.
She simply assumed she had discovered the source of the gray mist and didn't think much of it.
It wasn't until she heard Zhao Jinzhong explain why Aunt Song had framed him that she calmed down and realized the problem.
Zhou Ruo was stunned by Li Daoshi's rebuke. "Radish? What does it have to do with radish?"
"The grayish odor on that sign is the same as the grayish odor on Aunt Song's stomach!"
Fearing that people wouldn't believe her, she had no choice but to tell them what she had seen.
Aunt Song, who was already disheartened, felt as if her heart was blocked by a stone when she heard what Zhou Ruo said.
She looked at Zhou Ruo with a skeptical expression and asked, "What did you just say?"
Aunt Song felt she had misheard. Zhou Ruo's words struck her as unbelievable, even absurd.
It's even more absurd than her believing the Taoist priest Li and harming Zhao Jinzhong.
Zhao Jinzhong believed Zhou Ruo's words. At present, only by getting Li Daoshi to tell the truth could he convince the public.
He knew that Li the Taoist was a greedy and cowardly man, so he tried to provoke him.
Before anyone could react, Zhao Jinzhong shouted towards the door:
"Wu Jia, get the cangue and the tongue-cuff. This Taoist priest Li is so good at spreading heresy, give him fifty strokes of the cane first, then break his tongue!"
