Princess, she is the one who facilitated the extradition.

"Zanglan, my second sister went back to her parents' home a few days ago and cried bitterly. She must have suffered some injustice at your place."

She promised us she would visit her father at her parents' home in two days, but many days have passed and my second sister is nowhere to be found. She is a woman of her word; something must have happened to her.

Zang Lan's in-laws' surname is Ji, and the eldest Ji brother, who is Zang Lan's brother-in-law, was pounding on the door.

"Open the door for me! I must see my second sister today, no matter what!"

Sister-in-law Ji Xiaomei cried with tears streaming down her face. "Second brother-in-law, please open the door. We're just worried about our second sister and wanted to see her. If she's alright, we'll leave."

"snort!"

Ji Laoyao, the brother-in-law, struck the door with his cane.

"I think he's just feeling guilty; he must have harmed my second sister."

"My poor second sister."

Sister Ji covered her face with a handkerchief and cried, "I've been dreaming about you having an accident every night for the past few days, and I haven't dared to close my eyes for days because of the worry."

You were the kindest and most polite person. If you were still alive, you would have opened the door to welcome your family when they came to visit. Are you really no longer alive?

How are we, your brothers and sisters, supposed to live if you keep talking like this? My poor sister…”

"Don't talk nonsense, cough cough..."

The uncle appeared very weak from his illness, but he forced himself to stop his children.

"My second son-in-law is a good man. He has always loved his wife and would never do anything foolish. He must have his reasons for not letting us see him."

Several days ago, the younger daughter used a soul-capturing needle on the younger daughter, who appeared completely controlled at the time.

He was sure he would obey and hang himself when he got home, but he had heard that Cang Lan had returned home early that day and might have been discovered and saved in time.

Even if they are rescued, their condition will probably not be good; otherwise, Zang Lan would not have prevented them from seeing their second daughter.

During the days they waited, they sent people to follow the Tibetan government's procurement efforts and discovered that the government had purchased very little food.

Zang Lan was extremely generous to his second daughter, always having the kitchen prepare extra dishes for each meal. In contrast, he himself, who came from a poor background, ate very poorly.

The decrease in food ingredients indicates that the second daughter is unable to eat.

The youngest daughter also said that the Soul-Capturing Needle was very powerful, and as long as the second daughter had a breath left, she would follow the instructions to commit suicide again.

Therefore, he guessed that his second daughter was still dead.

It's good that he's dead.

If they died, they would have the opportunity to marry their youngest daughter into the family. Therefore, they agreed that their children would play the bad cop, so that they could force Zang Lan to remarry.

He played the good cop to prevent the relationship between the two families from becoming too strained and difficult to resolve, since they would still be family in the future.

"Son-in-law, I know they went too far with their words the other day, but they were just worried about their blood relatives."

Father Ji gasped, "I understand you're breathing, but I don't have long to live. Before I die, I want to know how my second daughter is doing..."

The door creaked open, and Cang Lan appeared in the doorway. "I told you, Madam is alive and well."

"If you're alive, why won't you let us see you?"

Ji Laoda immediately squeezed inside the door to prevent it from being closed.

Zang Lan tried to stop them, but it was too late. He could only say, "Madam does not wish to see you."

"impossible."

Sister Ji hurriedly said, "My second sister has a close relationship with her family, how could she possibly refuse to see us?"

Don't think she didn't see it; Zang Lan tried to stop her older brother, but luckily he was quick-witted.

Zang Lan's face turned cold, and he said in a deep voice, "That's a question for you to answer. Why is my dutiful and affectionate wife unwilling to see her family?"

"Brother-in-law, my second sister went back to her parents' home for the last time, and she was perfectly fine."

With tears welling in her eyes, Ji Xiaomei leaned closer to Cang Lan and then turned and went inside.

"There must be some misunderstanding here. The family should talk things out."

"There's not much to say."

Zang Lan still pretended to stop them, but Ji Laoda and Ji Xiaomei exchanged a glance and walked directly into the mansion.

"Then let's see for ourselves what you've done to my sister."

"You must not trespass."

Zang Lan went to chase after the two, which allowed the rest of the Ji family to enter the house as well.

"It's truly as if the lady doesn't want to see you."

Cang Lan watched the Ji family members hurrying towards the backyard and bowed to the onlookers.

"Since my in-laws have wronged me by accusing me of harming my wife, I would like to ask you all to be my witnesses."

It's human nature to watch a spectacle, and everyone flocked into the Tibetan palace.

Ji's father was carried by two servants and walked at the very back. Hearing the commotion behind him, he sensed that something was wrong.

But seeing Zang Lan squeezed at the back of the crowd, he understood.

It must be because their antics aroused the curiosity of the people some time ago, that they dared to come in and watch the excitement today.

How could Zanglan possibly stop so many people?

Hmph, it's fine if everyone witnesses it. In the end, the Ji family's daughter died in the Zang Mansion, so the Ji family is the one in the right.

Thinking that his goal would be achieved soon, a smile appeared on his lips.

But soon, his smile froze on his face, and his children froze in place as well.

The first to react was Ji Xiaomei, "Second sister, you... what's wrong...?"

How come he's not dead?

Mrs. Zang, holding her daughter, looked at her curiously, "What's wrong with me?"

Fearing his younger sister might say something wrong, Ji the eldest hurriedly said, "Since you're alive, why don't you go back to your parents' home? We come to visit, but you don't even show your face!"

"I dare not go back."

Madam Zang handed her daughter over to the wet nurse, saying, "Last time I came back from my parents' home, I had uncontrollable thoughts of suicide."

My husband loves me dearly, my daughter is adorable, I'm living a good life, and I have no desire to die.

But I couldn't control myself. I suspected I'd encountered something unclean at my parents' house, so I didn't dare go back.

"Then why didn't you show up when we came to visit last time?"

Sister Ji's heart skipped a beat. Didn't her little sister say that the Soul-Capturing Needle was a sure thing? Her second sister doesn't seem to be being manipulated at all.

Madam Zang pointed to the bruises on her neck, "If I appear like this, I'm afraid you'll really misunderstand and think my husband killed me."

If this leads to me being taken back to my parents' home, or my husband being sent to prison, without his righteous protection, I will still be bewitched by evil spirits.

When everyone saw the marks on her neck, they suddenly realized what had happened.

"Second sister, you're confused. How could there be evil spirits in a clean house?"

With a look of heartache, Ji Xiaomei reached out and touched Madam Zang's neck. "Are you really having an uncontrollable urge to hang yourself, or are you afraid of something and dare not tell the truth?"

He wondered if it was really the righteous energy in Cang Lan that suppressed the evil curse.

Lost in thought, she felt a slight throbbing pain on the top of her head, but she ignored it and continued, "Father came to see you despite his illness, because he was worried about you."

Second sister, your family is your support; you must tell us the truth about anything you have to say.

She said these words to mislead the people into believing that Lady Zang was being blackmailed by Zang Lan.

Is he also trying to see if the Soul-Capturing Needle is still working?

Madam Zang shook her head. "I'm just telling the truth."

She was about to walk towards Canglan when Ji Xiaomei stopped her.

Ji Xiaomei's expression suddenly turned fierce, and she lowered her voice, "Didn't I tell you to die? Why aren't you dead?"

"What did you say?"

Madam Zang was startled. "So you were the one who bewitched me into dying?"

No!

Ji Xiaomei wanted to deny it, but she found that she seemed to be unable to control herself. What came out was, "Shut up, keep your voice down. After we leave, you can go die."

"Only after you die can I marry into this family. Only after I marry into the family can my elder brother continue to smuggle salt under the cover of his identity as Zang Lan."

"My elder brother wants to use my husband to smuggle salt? How could you harm him?"

Lady Zang struggled and cried out, "Husband, save me!"

Sister Ji noticed something was wrong and quickly stepped forward to remind her younger sister, "What are you doing? There are so many people here."

If they really wanted to manipulate things, they should have waited until the outsiders left and the sisters went back to their room to have a private conversation.

"Why are there so many people?"

Ji Xiaomei shoved her away, "Stop pretending. Your brother-in-law is keeping a mistress, and you're the one who's most jealous of your second sister."

She pointed at Madam Zang, "Look at her like this, it's obvious the curse has failed her, she won't listen to us anymore and will die."

Our plan failed, and I can never marry into the Tibetan family again. But I want her dead, and you all want her dead too. Why won't she die...?

"shut up."

Ji Laoda quickly covered her mouth, "Are you crazy? What nonsense are you talking about?"

But it was too late; Ji Xiaomei had already said everything she needed to say.

Zang Lan roared, "So it was you who truly wanted my lady's life! Guards, seize them! I will personally interrogate them."

A group of constables stepped forward and surrounded the Ji family members. Gui Yao secretly used his spiritual power to remove the Soul-Capturing Needle from Ji Xiaomei's head.

Just as they were about to reveal themselves, they heard Ji Xiaomei shout, "You can't arrest me! Princess Baozhu told me to do this..."
