Rules of the Strange: I Became a God in a Bizarre World Through Taoist Arts

"Knock knock knock—"

A knock on the door suddenly sounded.

"Young Miss, your servant has come to bring you water."

A maid's cheerful voice came from outside the door, full of joy.

Shen Xingzhuo pressed her palm hard, and after feeling the stinging sensation, her chaotic thoughts gradually calmed down.

Her gaze swept rapidly across the room.

The puppet was completely torn apart, the edges of the cracks were charred black, and it was scattered on the ground as a patch of scorched earth.

However, the wedding quilt on the bed was still neatly made, and a torn red veil lay on the pillow.

A maid's urgent voice rang out, "Young Miss, is that me?"

Shen Xingzhuo's eyes narrowed, and with a sweeping leg kick, he used the hem of his clothes to scatter the scorched earth in all directions.

Then he quickly tore the bedding apart and put the veil over his head.

It was just right that you could see everything in the room through the original crack in the veil.

"Squeak—"

The door was pushed open.

The little maidservant happily carried a basin of hot water into the room.

Her gaze fell silently on the bed, and only after seeing the mess did she slowly look away.

But the next second, her words were not as calm as they seemed.

"Miss and son-in-law are so loving~" she said, then looked around again, "But where is the son-in-law? Why aren't they being affectionate with Miss?"

Shen Xingzhu frowned.

Why are all the men in the Pei family so fond of questioning their master?

This could not possibly be the rule for the servants of the Pei family.

The previous one was an old nanny disguised as Pei Jinxiu, who deliberately tried to obstruct the marriage.

So what is the purpose of this now?

She suddenly remembered the second-to-last rule of marriage—

You and your husband have a good relationship; don't believe anyone trying to sow discord between you.

I have a clear idea of ​​how I should deal with this.

She feigned anger and said, "You're just a lowly maid; do you think I need to report to you where the young master is?"

Shen Xingzhuo deliberately added the pressure of spiritual power.

The little maid shuddered, knocked over the basin of water, and knelt down on the ground with a thud.

"I didn't mean to!"

The young maidservant wept, tears streaming down her face, "It was the young master... he told me..."

Her voice grew softer and softer, as if she were hiding something from Liu Jin.

Shen Xingzhu sneered inwardly.

Is this implying that Liu Jin was lusting after her beauty and sent her to serve him in the bridal chamber?

Do you really think I'll leave the Pei residence unprepared?

At this time, Xiuyi, who plays Liu Jin, is not from the same country as her, so how could she give her complete trust?

Earlier, when she gave out the puppet talisman, she used a trick to also stick the talisman on Xiuyi's body.

That way, no matter what Xiuyi does, she will know immediately.

She was genuinely puzzled when she came in and saw the chaos, but not because she was puzzled that Xiuyi would die.

But after he died, no ashes of the talisman were seen!

Her Taoist skills are absolutely guaranteed to be flawless!

Thinking about it this way, there's only one possibility left—

Xiuyi is still alive, she just can't see it now.

Shen Xingzhu ignored the maid for a moment, then asked, "Are you trying to sow discord between my husband and me?"

Her tone was calm, but to the kneeling man, it sounded like a death knell.

"No, I wouldn't dare."

"This servant is merely... following orders."

"Then you may have forgotten who's in charge in the Pei household."

Shen Xingzhuo stepped forward, lifted the maid's chin, and looked at her coolly.

"Even if I get married, I will still be the future head of the family."

"Since you have momentarily forgotten your place in the household, then I will punish you by making you fill the courtyard with water."
