At eight o'clock in the morning, Zhong Lingyu went to the back door to pick up Tuanfong, the green-eyed cat given by Shen Huaizhou.
When she turned back, she happened to see Zhong Mingyuan sneaking around at a side door.
A bright yellow streak appeared in the crack of the door.
Zhong Lingyu listened carefully for a while, sneered, and left quietly.
All day long, the Bell Mansion was peaceful and peaceful.
In the evening, Zhong Yuming went home and was very pleased to see the harmony in his home.
Mu Denglan was attentive and enthusiastic, and served soup to Zhong Yuming, "Master, I was rude to Lingyu last night, which was not what I wanted. It was because I was in poor health and dizzy that I did something stupid. Today, I Make amends to Lingyu."
After saying that, she took Zhong Lingyu's hand and said gently: "Lingyu, please don't take what happened last night to your heart. Our family must be harmonious in the future."
She acted, and Zhong Lingyu naturally cooperated with her, "I didn't take it to heart."
The concubine and the legitimate daughter, the former is kind and the latter is tolerant, how warm they are.
Zhong Yuming nodded with satisfaction, "Harmony brings wealth. This is true for business, and so is home."
Zhong Lingyu lowered his eyes, a chill flashed in his eyes.
For several days, Muldenlan was extremely attentive.
She was beautiful, gentle, and charming, which drew away Zhong Yuming's soul.
The third concubine's housekeeping rights were taken away by Mu Denglan again.
Zhong Lingyu knew that this was the calm before the storm.
In the morning, when the family was having breakfast together, Zhong Yuming saw Mu Denglan's pale face and asked with concern: "You don't look good. Are you feeling unwell?"
Zhong Mingyuan swallowed the bun in his mouth and said, "Mom has been having nightmares these days. I have called a doctor and taken medicine, but she still hasn't recovered. Dad, do you think there is something dirty in the house?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Zhong Yuming was very taboo about the idea of strange powers messing up gods, so he shouted harshly.
"But mom is not feeling well." Zhong Mingyuan looked aggrieved.
Zhong Yuming didn't take it to heart. He felt that Mu Denlan was just tired from taking care of the housework and it wasn't a big problem.
He showed a few token words of concern and it was no big deal.
It's just that it's really unlucky to talk about ghosts and gods this early in the morning.
He scolded Zhong Mingyuan and returned to the study.
However, after a while, Zhong Mingyuan hurriedly knocked on his door, "Dad, mom is not good."
"What's the matter?" Zhong Yuming was a little impatient.
"Mom, she started talking nonsense, you go and take a look."
Zhong Yuming hurried upstairs, Mu Denglan's face was pale, huddled in the corner, muttering unconsciously.
There was no other way, Zhong Yuming could only ask someone to ask a fortune teller.
Zhong Mingyuan stopped and said: "Dad, I thought my mother's illness was strange before. I had already asked a fortune teller to see it. The fortune teller said that someone in our family brought back dirty things, and that things not only possessed people, but also possessed them. It will affect your wealth."
In the first few sentences, Zhong Yuming's words went in through the left ear and out through the right ear. Only the four words 'affecting wealth' made him nervous. "Have you ever asked the fortune teller how to interpret it?"
Zhong Mingyuan took out a few yellow talismans, "The fortune teller gave me this. He said that as long as you use this talisman, you can know who brought the dirty things in. When the time comes, the person who brought the dirty things will be moved to Just live somewhere else.”
Zhong Yuming wiped his sweat and asked the servant to call his family.
Zhong Lingyu is also among them.
The third aunt looked puzzled, "Master, what are you doing?"
Zhong Yuming explained the matter step by step.
Zhong Mingyuan asked the servant to bring some basins of water.
She held the yellow talisman and waved it above everyone's head.
Then soak each yellow talisman in a basin of water.
The yellow talisman stood still for a few minutes, and the yellow talisman in front of the others was soaked with water.
Only the yellow talisman in front of Zhong Lingyu was still floating steadily in the water.
Zhong Mingyuan was shocked, pointed at Zhong Lingyu and said, "Dad, it was my sister who brought it here. Only her talisman was not soaked in water. Could it be that what my sister brought was my aunt Yun who just passed away not long ago?"
Zhong Yuming also looked at Zhong Lingyu with fear in his eyes.
Zhong Mingyu said at the right time: "Dad, mom said that the night Sister Lingyu came back, she saw something strange behind her. I think that might be the reason why my mother was uncharacteristic of her and pushed Sister Lingyu down that night."
Yes.
Zhong Yuming suddenly realized.
At that time, Mu Denglan's reaction was indeed not normal.
Normally, she would not dare to disobey him.
As soon as Lingyu came home, she acted as if she had lost her mind and refused to allow Lingyu to enter the house.
Zhong Yuming looked at Zhong Lingyu and sighed, "Lingyu, I am very sad that your mother passed away, and I also feel sorry for you being all alone. But you have also seen that if you make the family uneasy because of you alone, it will also affect the family. My business, then..."
"Father, I understand what you mean, but can I ask a few questions?" Zhong Lingyu said calmly.
Zhong Yuming nodded, "Just ask."
Zhong Lingyu walked up to Zhong Mingyuan and said, "Third sister, when did you find the fortune teller?"
"Just...five days ago!" Zhong Mingyuan's eyes were full of vigilance.
"If so, in the past five days, besides the second concubine, has anyone else been unwell?" Zhong Lingyu glanced at the crowd again.
The third aunt rolled her eyes slightly, "I'm not feeling unwell, and neither is the master."
"I...my fourth sister, my mother, and I all have symptoms of physical discomfort." Zhong Mingyuan said quickly.
Zhong Lingyu opened her red lips slightly and said in surprise: "Then you mean that my mother's soul is only at odds with the second aunt and her biological children? Is it possible that you have done something wrong to my mother?"
Zhong Mingyuan was furious, "Don't sneer and change the subject."
"Okay, then let me ask my father, is your business declining these days?" Zhong Lingyu continued to ask.
Zhong Yuming had a vague feeling that something was wrong. He said truthfully: "No, business is very stable."
"It didn't affect my father's business, and it didn't make anyone else in the family feel sick. Only my second aunt, my mother and my daughter were weak. In the end, the finger was pointed at me..." Zhong Lingyu's eyes were filled with mist.
She bit her lower lip and said to Zhong Yuming: "Father, before I went home that night, I said that my second aunt could not tolerate me at all. If I had known this, I would rather be homeless and die outside. It would also save the second wife. My aunt has gone to great lengths to come up with such tricks to drive me away."
Zhong Yuming finally came around, his face turned dark and he wanted to curse.
Zhong Mingyuan was so panicked.
At this time, Zhong Mingyu said: "Sister Lingyu, my mother didn't want to drive you away. This is a fact. Otherwise, why is only the yellow talisman in front of you floating on the water?"
Zhong Mingyuan is a weakling but a weakling. Zhong Mingyu, who is relatively young, is calm in the face of danger. She throws the problem back on Zhong Lingyu.
Zhong Yuming also looked at the floating yellow talisman, thoughtfully.
For a while, things reached a deadlock.
