Zhong Mingyu took Zhong Yuming's arm and said, "Dad, I really don't know what happened, but how can you explain this yellow talisman floating around?"

The scale in Zhong Yuming's heart was tilted towards Zhong Mingyu again.

He said suspiciously: "That's right, why are other people's yellow talismans seeping into the water, but only the yellow talisman in front of Lingyu is floating?"

Zhong Lingyu picked up the yellow talisman in front of him and the yellow talisman in front of his third concubine, one on the left and the other on the right. "Father, these two pieces of paper are different in terms of material and thickness."

Zhong Yuming touched it, and sure enough, his expression gradually became cold.

Zhong Lingyu fell weakly to the ground and smiled bitterly, "I just went home and wanted to live with my father. What's wrong with me? Why did my second aunt spend so much effort?

It was acting again, making my father think that it was me who brought my mother's soul into the house. They were tricking Huang Fu again, trying to throw dirty water on my head and drive me away. What did I do wrong? "

She covered her face and cried softly and pitifully.

Tears fell down her chin and fell to the ground, making people feel sad to see them.

The third aunt had been deprived of the power of running the family by Muldenlan a few days ago, and she wished she could trample Muldenlan under her feet.

She took advantage of the situation to help Zhong Lingyu up, and said more jealously: "In the past, when the second aunt was in charge of the house, she was jealous of the mistress's position as the main wife. As the mistress's only child, the second aunt couldn't stand the eldest lady, and she didn't like it. Strange."

After a pause, the third aunt picked up the handkerchief and sobbed, "I'm just sorry for the eldest lady. She already has no mother and she still has to suffer this torture. Could it be that our huge Zhong family can't even tolerate the eldest lady. "

Zhong Yuming was furious and pointed at Zhong Mingyuan, "Tell me, what is going on?"

Zhong Mingyuan shivered with fright, "Dad, I..."

"Are you and your mother causing trouble? Tell me!" Zhong Yuming yelled angrily.

Zhong Mingyuan was so frightened that she kept backing away. She just denied it, "Dad, we didn't..."

These words were too pale and weak, and Zhong Yuming raised his hand to hit her.

Zhong Mingyu quickly stopped, "Dad, why don't you ask the fortune teller to ask what if the third sister was deceived?"

Zhong Lingyu raised his eyes and looked at Zhong Mingyu.

Mu Denglan's three daughters are Zhu, Yuan and Yu. Yu is the smartest and she is very difficult to deal with.

Zhong Mingyu smiled at Zhong Lingyu and held her hand affectionately, "Sister Lingyu, there does seem to be something wrong with this yellow talisman, but the yellow talisman was given by a fortune teller, which means the problem may be with the fortune teller. I Wouldn't it be better to send someone to invite the fortune teller and confront him face to face?"

Zhong Yuming actually didn't want to believe that his concubine would harm his eldest daughter.

The house is restless, which makes him look useless.

So he made the decision and said: "There are many charlatans and liars. It would be more appropriate to call the fortune teller and ask."

Within half an hour, the fortune teller was brought to the Zhong Mansion.

Zhong Mingyu pointed at Zhong Mingyuan, "Sir, do you know this person?"

"I know... I know you!" The fortune teller was a middle-aged man with a pockmarked face, a sinister look on his face, and a guilty look on his face.

Zhong Mingyu asked: "You gave her a few talismans, right?"

The fortune teller wiped his sweat with a handkerchief, "Yes!"

"Is there anything wrong with those talismans?" Zhong Mingyu suddenly asked sharply, "Be honest, otherwise the Zhong family will not spare you."

The fortune teller knelt on the ground and cried loudly, "There is something wrong. There is something wrong with the yellow talisman. I deliberately mixed a piece of paper with a special material."

"Why did you do this?" Zhong Mingyu asked sadly.

"I... I'm trying to defraud money." The fortune teller kept kowtowing, "Please ladies and gentlemen, be kind and let me go. I'm just confused for a moment."

After Zhong Mingyu finished the cross-examination, he turned to Zhong Yuming and said, "Dad, it's all the fault of this fortune teller. My third sister was deceived by her."

Zhong Yuming was puzzled, "Then why did your mother say that she saw something strange the night Lingyu came back, and that special yellow talisman happened to be used by Lingyu."

"My mother's eyes have been blurry for the past few days, and she even invited a doctor to take a look. As for the yellow talisman, it was probably a coincidence. My mother and third sister had absolutely no intention of driving Sister Lingyu away."

Zhong Mingyu explained calmly, "You have also seen that my mother has been so good to Sister Lingyu these days, how could she drive her away?"

Zhong Yuming thought for a moment and felt that these words made sense.

He pointed at the fortune teller and cursed, "Charlatan, you dare to make any money. I will send you to see an official later."

"Now that the matter is clear, I want to ask Sister Lingyu and...the third aunt." Zhong Mingyu's eyes flashed, "Just now, you have been saying that my mother wants to drive away Sister Lingyu. But after all, it is my mother. Do you want to drive away Sister Lingyu, or is it that Sister Lingyu and Third Aunt cannot tolerate my mother? Otherwise, why would you slander my mother?"

After a few words, he kicked the ball back again, killing two birds with one stone.

Zhong Yuming looked like grass on the wall, and glanced back and forth between the third concubine and Zhong Lingyu with a scrutinizing gaze.

With a pale face, the third aunt pulled Zhong Yuming's sleeves, knelt on the ground and said, "Master, this is such a coincidence. I really thought it was the second aunt who wanted to drive away the eldest lady. Now the second aunt is too innocent. I know my fault. But I promise you, sir, I have no intention of not being able to tolerate my second concubine, and I know it well."

"You really don't mean to stir up trouble?" Zhong Yuming's eyes were dark.

The third aunt shook her head like a rattle, "Master, I really don't have one."

Zhong Yuming didn't say he believed it, nor did he say he didn't believe it. He finally fixed his gaze on Zhong Lingyu, "Lingyu, what did you say?"

Zhong Lingyu looked indifferent and stared at the fortune teller.

She didn't speak for half a minute.

Zhong Yuming was about to get angry when there was a knock on the door outside.

The servant went to open the door, and a child suddenly burst in.

When the fortune teller saw the child, his expression changed greatly.

Zhong Yuming scolded, "Whose child is this? Drive him out!"

Zhong Lingyu stepped forward to stop her, "Father, this is the little girl I met a few days ago. Come here and ask me for candy."

"Sister, where are the candies you promised me?" The little girl wore braids and was very lively and cute.

Zhong Lingyu grabbed a handful of candies for her, bent down, and handed them to her.

At this time, a gun fell out of his sleeve and hit the ground, startling everyone.

Zhong Yuming was shocked, "Why do you still have the gun?"

He turned green with fear.

Zhong Lingyu handed the gun to the little girl's hand and said, "Father, don't panic, this is a simulated water gun. I have put the real gun under the box, and there is only one bullet left."

After speaking, she touched the little girl's head and said, "This water gun and candy are all for you."

"Thank you sister!" The little girl with crotch braids was smiling happily while holding the candy.

At this time, the fortune teller kowtowed violently and shouted: "Master, I tell the truth, it was the second aunt. She asked Miss Mingyuan to get the yellow charm from me and staged this scam in order to drive Miss Lingyu out of the house." , Master is aware of it."
