The fifth princess' brows suddenly furrowed.

"I knew it!"

"My aunt loves to do these despicable things and has lost her status for no reason."

As the favored princess, the Fifth Princess naturally dared to scold the unpopular Princess Huyang. However, the female officials around her did not dare to say a word and could only lower their heads slightly and remain silent.

After the Fifth Princess finished scolding Hu Yang, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly again.

"This old lady Su is truly a strange person!"

Such a big thing was not mentioned at all.

This time the female official has something to say.

"That's right! Although Princess Huyang's servants occupied Sujia Manor, they didn't gain any benefits and only encountered bad luck!"

According to the person who brought the news, Princess Huyang's servants were a group of strong men. They had only stayed at the farm for one night, and something happened on the second night!

It is said that the group of evil guests drove away the real owner, Old Madam Su, and Old Madam Su was the true disciple of the immortal in the mortal world, so she was naturally protected by divine power.

How could the immortal not be angry when he saw that the evil guest had occupied his disciple's farm?

The next night, the immortal sent out his snake demon to punish them.

It is said that the snake demon was as tall as a mountain, with eyes like blood holes that emitted red light!

What grows on the head are not hair, but tens of millions of small snakes! Each one is very poisonous and spits out its tongue!

The snake demon floated in the night sky of Zhuangzi out of thin air, roaring and calling on the evil guys to come out and die.

Those guys usually act arrogantly, so how could they ever encounter any tough guys?

Now that you have seen something so terrifying, wouldn’t you be scared to death?

How could they dare to come out? They hid in the house, under the bed, and trembled!

The snake demon didn't know why, but he didn't go down to catch these guys himself. But that was not the end... On the next day, when this group of people came together, they were all in misery.

Some of them had heads swollen like pigs.

Some people suffer from vomiting, dizziness and diarrhea.

Others seemed to have had their energy sucked away by a snake demon and could not even stand up.

In short, none of these people are not miserable.

They almost lost their lives after just one night's stay. How could they dare to stay there? They had to send two people to stay behind, and the rest went to Tongcheng.

They would also quickly seek treatment for the strange diseases they contracted.

Of course, they didn't mention at first that they were punished by the snake demon in Sujiazhuang.

But the onset of their illness was strange, and the doctor did not dare to prescribe medicine rashly. Even if he tried a few prescriptions for clearing away heat and detoxification, there was almost no effect...

But within two days, the two who stayed behind also came to look for them.

It turns out that the most valuable thing in Sujia Village is the fields full of fairy fruits.

When this group of people robbed Sujiazhuang, the fairy fruit plants were growing lushly and some even had fruits on them.

But in just these two days, all the fairy fruit plants turned yellow and dry, and the fruits turned black and moldy!

The two men were so frightened that they didn't care about anything else and quickly picked up the buckets and went to water the fields themselves.

Unfortunately, even after pouring buckets of water, there was no improvement at all.

The two were so anxious that they went to Sujia Village, captured two old men and brought them back to see what was going on.

It’s not that they knew the old man had enough experience in farming, but they didn’t know what was wrong with the young people in Sujia Village. They either went to the city to work or to visit relatives and friends. Even these two old men were the ones who jumped into people’s yards and pulled them out of their houses!

But it would be better not to catch the old man!

When the two old men saw what had happened to the fairy fruit plant, they immediately knelt down and cried and wailed, as if their ancestors' graves had been dug up. They kept muttering to themselves, saying something like, "Please forgive my sins, fairy, or punish me."

Didn’t these two people just yell and curse at each other?

But the two old men seemed not to be afraid of them at all. Instead, they cried and talked to them about things like the appearance of immortals.

After hearing this, they became even more frightened!

It's impossible for two old men to make up so many vivid stories!

Besides, it was said that the immortal only took a fancy to Madam Su, which was why he bestowed many immortal seeds on her. His real shadow also descended during the festival. Hundreds of people present, including those from Sujiazhuang and many nearby villages, saw it with their own eyes!

They both listened with some doubt, but still went to the neighboring village to ask someone.

Sure enough, whether it was the elderly men and women or the snotty-nosed children, they all said in unison that Madam Su was a fairy messenger and that they had seen the true image of a fairy with their own eyes!

By the next day, the fairy fruit plant that had originally looked fine had turned black and withered, completely dead.

And those fairy fruits on the fairy fruit plants don’t look like fairy fruits at all. They are clearly evil fruits that will make you poisonous if you smell them!

They had been having nightmares every night these days. After seeing these things, they dared not stay any longer. They had to lock the door and rush to Tongcheng without stopping.

Of course, you will be punished for leaving your post without permission, but you can't lose your life, right?

The servants who had lived in the city for several days had actually heard a lot of stories about Old Madam Su in the past few days. She had not yet recovered from her strange illnesses, and they were worried in their hearts.

Seeing these two guys so frightened and hearing them say that all the fairy fruits were destroyed, wouldn't he be regretting it so much now?

They originally thought that this trip would be easy and they could make a lot of money from the fairy fruit.

However, he didn't expect that instead of getting any benefits, he would provoke revenge from the evil fairy!

Therefore, this group of people not only did not dare to go to the village again, they also did not dare to stay in Tongcheng. They immediately packed up and left Tongcheng overnight!

These guys returned to Princess Huyang's mansion like lost dogs.

When he left, he was in high spirits.

When he returned, he was weak and sick.

Not to mention the other servants in the princess's mansion, even Princess Huyang was shocked when she saw this appearance.

After hearing the experiences of these servants, the expressions on their faces were truly fascinating.

But she was still a little skeptical.

These people also knew the character of their master, so they presented a fairy fruit (rotten) that they had brought back.

The fairy fruit had already turned black and rotten when it was on the farm.

After more than ten days of fermentation and cultivation, the black mycelium has covered the surface of the fairy fruit so that it can no longer be seen as a fairy fruit!

The smell almost made Huyang fall over.

Coupled with the extremely terrifying descriptions of the snake demon from these people, wouldn't Princess Huyang also feel frightened?

Princess Huyang is also scared!

What if the snake demon knew that she was the one behind it, and possessed these idiots and followed them to the capital to seek revenge on her?

So she hurriedly had these people taken out of the house and sent to a farm outside the capital, which was the worst farm among all the properties under her name!

Moreover, a death order was issued, absolutely not allowing these people to leave the village again!

But even so, I heard that Huyang had nightmares for three consecutive days!

I still asked the imperial physician to see me, and he prescribed a prescription to calm the mind and promote sleeping, and that was the end of it.

When the fifth princess heard these follow-up stories, she was so shocked that she was stunned for a long time.

“I never thought that the Su Xian worshipped by Old Madam Su would have such divine power!”

In the past, it could help determine whether someone was a blood relative. Although it was magical, it was not scary.

In the heart of the fifth princess, Su Xian is a kind-hearted, benevolent and gentle immortal.

Who could have imagined that there would be such a thundering method?

At this moment, she was glad that when she went to the farm, she treated Old Madam Su quite well and did not have any evil thoughts about the fairy fruit.

Otherwise, if she angered Su Xian, not only would she be unable to have children in this life, she might also be haunted by a snake demon and suffer endless bad luck!

"Humph, you really deserve it! Is it so easy to take advantage of the immortal?"

After saying this, the Fifth Princess decided that not only should she not learn anything from Huyang, but she should do the opposite.

Huyang robbed the manor, so she had to get it back.

"Go prepare four gifts and go to my aunt's house..."

Before she could finish her words, the fifth princess changed her mind.

"Forget it. I'll go and ask the Queen for help on this matter."

The reason why Hu Yang specifically went out of his way to cause trouble for Madam Su was probably because she insisted on divorcing her husband and did not listen to Hu Yang's advice.

Therefore, even if the Fifth Princess gave the other party a way out, given Hu Yang's character, he might become arrogant instead.

Huyang has done things that harm others and benefit himself before.

When Aunt Su returned to her residence, she found out that Zhao Zhu, whom she had met that day, had sent someone to deliver a generous thank-you gift. In addition to the thank-you gift, there was also a visiting card, expressing her intention to visit her the next day.

Aunt Su took the visiting card, read it once, and then handed it to Lin Yanniang.

"Why is this Zhu still so polite?"

It's just a piece of cake, and the water in the pond is not deep.

Why is there a need to send gifts and visit in person?

Lin Yanniang's eyes showed deep thought.

"Mother, could it be that Zhu found out something?"

Although Zhu's status is not very high, her family is rich!

Money makes the world go round. As long as Zhu wants, he can probably buy any news.

Aunt Su thought that she had originally wanted to come to Beijing to make a fortune, and now that the money man had come to her, why should she turn him away? What's more, what had been worrying the other party for several years was something she could easily solve.

"Then please ask her to come..."

Lin Yanniang then understood what her mother meant.

"Mother, do you really want to help Zhu?"

"Why, you don't want to?"

"Ah, no, no, no. Actually, ever since I met Zhu, I've thought of my mother's ability, but I didn't know if my mother was willing to do it, so I didn't dare to mention it."

Aunt Su said cheerfully, "This isn't a big deal, it wouldn't hurt to just help out a little."

So he replied to Zhu's letter and made an appointment to wait for her to come the next day.

Lin Yanniang coughed and said, "Mother, I will come early tomorrow."

Aunt Su couldn't help but glance at her, and Lin Yanniang smiled awkwardly.

"I don't have anything to do at the He family anyway, so I might as well come and help my mother entertain the guests."

Although the yard was small and simple, time passed quickly as the women talked and laughed, ate, drank, and played around together.

The two children only stayed in the He Mansion for two days when they first returned to the capital. After their mother moved here, they had to stay here and not leave.

And she was bored being alone in Weirui Courtyard.

Sometimes, He Lao San would come over and chatter, asking random questions, which was quite annoying, so she simply made the excuse of accompanying her mother, so that she could have some quiet time and also watch the show.

What else could Aunt Su say? She naturally agreed to let Lin Yanniang come and watch the show.

Lin Yanniang returned to the He Mansion and had just washed and changed her clothes when He Laosan arrived.

"Yanniang, I heard that you went to the princess's residence again today? Or did you go with your mother-in-law?"

He Lao San is a guy who changes his face quickly. He used to call her Third Madam coldly, but ever since Lin Yanniang won the favor of the princess, He Lao San changed his tone quickly.

What a pity, now let alone calling her Yanniang, even if he calls her aunt, Lin Yanniang won’t even look at him a few more times.

Lin Yanniang smiled and nodded.

"Exactly."

"Yanniang, the Fifth Princess treats you with special favor."

He Laosan thought that the Fifth Princess had only been to Tongcheng once and had probably met his mother-in-law once or twice. However, his mother-in-law would not be in a hurry to summon an old lady from the Earl's Mansion who came from Tongcheng as soon as she arrived in the capital. She was probably doing it to save face for Lin Yanniang.

When Lin Yanniang heard this, she knew what he was going to do. She couldn't help but cover her lips with her hands and said with a smile, "My husband, you are wrong. The Fifth Princess values ​​my mother. I am just taking advantage of her."

He Laosan was stunned, then he laughed.

"Yanniang, you're joking... My mother-in-law has come all the way to the capital, and as her husband, I naturally welcome her with open arms. There's no need to say that..."

He thought Lin Yanniang said this to elevate his mother-in-law's status.

Lin Yanniang knew that he was overthinking.

Although this guy doesn't have much ability, his family background as a Duke makes him think highly of himself, and he has never looked down upon the Lin family in Tongcheng.

Naturally, he doesn't look down on his mother-in-law who is his second wife.

Making him believe that his mother-in-law was a guest of honor valued by the Fifth Princess would be like killing him.

So his mother gave him that expensive foreign watch.

"It's fine if you don't believe me, but don't blame me for not telling you in the future."

He Lao San's eyebrows softened and he said jokingly, "Since Yan Niang said so, then I believe it!"

"But my mother-in-law gave me a foreign watch last time. It's very valuable. I went out to drink with some friends and was accidentally seen by them. They kept asking me about it. And General Zheng sent people to ask around the capital, but they couldn't find anything similar... He was joking with me. It's a pity that my watch has a portrait of our children on it and there are words on the back case. Otherwise, he would be willing to pay five thousand taels in exchange for my watch."

Speaking of this, He Laosan's face was full of envy.

As for General Zheng, his father was guarding the border in the northern frontier. There were so many caravans coming and going, and he had to pay a lot of silver to them. The Zheng family's wealth was as rich as a mountain of gold and silver. It was easy to say that it was five thousand taels. He was nothing like that, whose monthly salary was only fifty taels. His shop only made a few dozen taels a month at most. All this silver, added up, was used to support his social activities and to subsidize his concubines and illegitimate children. He was really in a very tight spot.
