My concubine is pregnant, I tear up the marriage certificate and marry another powerful official

Things just calmed down here, and something happened over there again.

Li Yuan's servant found a straw doll behind the plaque in the hall of Lu's mansion.

The rag doll was wearing bright yellow fabric with bloodstains on the front and a few silver needles pierced its back.

Liu's legs went weak when she heard that.

"You said that the evil thing was found in the main hall?"

Liu Qiuqiu's eyelashes fluttered, and she hugged Ji'er tighter, listening to their conversation with her ears perked up.

"It's absolutely true! Madam, Steward Lin has already sent someone to invite the people from the Dali Temple. I'm afraid this matter... We servants also find it strange. Steward Lin clearly said that he wanted to find something that Su He left behind? How did he find the main hall?"

Mrs. Liu's eyes darkened, and she didn't care about Liu Qiuqiu anymore. She went straight to the main hall and asked, "Where's Yan Xiu? Why hasn't he come back yet? His son is gone, and his home is about to be lost! Why doesn't he come back to take a look?"

"Madam, the young master has gone to Lord Su's house to attend his birthday banquet..."

"That wimp!"

Since I have divorced Su He and we are separated, why should I go to celebrate the birthday of my ex-father-in-law?

Cursing in his heart and thinking, he had already arrived in the hall.

Butler Lin sat quietly on a pear wood chair, drinking tea calmly. When he saw Liu coming, he asked someone to put the doll he had found on the table for her to check.

"Does the old lady have any impression of this?"

Liu took a careful look and was suddenly shocked.

The facial features of that doll are somewhat similar to mine?

But it was wearing bright yellow fabric, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell what it was. Even if you said it was you, no one would believe it.

But the premise is, who put the doll behind the plaque?

"I've never seen it before. You kept saying you were looking for something lost by Su He, but after searching for so long you found something that cursed people. Who knows what you were up to?"

Liu was unwilling to lose her dignity in front of a housekeeper, so she walked up to the high chair and sat down with a look of contempt.

With Li Yuan's support, Steward Lin was not afraid of her.

But because she is the elder, I should speak more respectfully.

"In reply to the old lady, I have sent people to find the jewelry that the young lady left behind in your house. This doll was just an unexpected find... When I looked at the doll, I felt that it looked familiar. I immediately thought of the current emperor who had been bedridden for many days and had not recovered from the magic pills and medicines. Could it be that he was affected by this Yin magic thing?"

Steward Lin used to work in the Princess's mansion, and was in charge of the whole mansion. He had met the emperor several times before, and was praised for his good governance, which saved the Princess a lot of trouble, so he was rewarded several times.

Therefore, Steward Lin is sincere to His Majesty.

How can we just let this go when we found these items in Lu's mansion today without any reason?

When Liu heard the emperor say it twice, she was immediately terrified and hurriedly explained: "Steward Lin, stop talking nonsense! This is just an ordinary rag doll, how can it be linked to Yin magic? Moreover, the emperor's health is a blessing for our country! How can I, a woman in seclusion, do such a treasonous thing?"

"I never said it was hidden by the old lady. Didn't the second young master of your house suffer a few days ago?"

This statement is considered to be a clear indication.

The cheating case damaged Lu Zhili's career and brought shame to the Lu family. It was really sad to rely on Lu Yanxiu alone to support the family. There were rumors that he had surrendered to the second prince. Since he had found a master, he naturally had to do something for the master.

"You...are talking nonsense!"

Liu was so angry that her teeth were itching. Just as she was about to retort, a figure appeared outside the mansion.

Lu Yanxiu, who finally appeared, hurried to Liu, stared at Steward Lin with his sharp eyes, and shouted: "Even if Su He left something behind, just come and look for it. Why do you have to embarrass my grandmother?"

When his eyes fell on the rag doll on the table, he paused.

"what is this?"

Steward Lin said, "Master Lu, this item was found behind the plaque in the main hall of your mansion. It is the witchcraft that is expressly prohibited by the current dynasty. This matter is of great importance. I have sent someone to report it to the Dali Temple and ask them to make a decision!"

Bright yellow fabric, shining silver needles...

"Witchcraft..."

Lu Yanxiu's eyes moved slightly, and he couldn't help but remember that he had seen this thing in front of Liu Qiuqiu.

At that time it was just a semi-finished product.

"Madam, there's someone outside!" the gatekeeper shouted as he came over.

Liu couldn't help but curse, "What kind of person is this? You have no rules? Get him kicked out of the house tomorrow!"

Then he turned to Lu Yanxiu and asked anxiously, "Do you know anything about this thing?"

"I……"

Lu Yanxiu hesitated and did not answer.

The Dali Temple has sent people over.

Lu Yanxiu only felt a buzzing in his ears, and his head felt like a bell being struck, with a continuous muffled sound.

The image of Su He's calm and safe appearance appeared in front of my eyes.

Is it... a trap set by her?

How dare she?

How dare you?

"The Lu family attempted to use witchcraft to curse His Majesty! The suspects will be arrested and brought to justice!"

Liu screamed, "Don't take my grandson away!"

The official from the Dali Temple handcuffed Lu Yanxiu's hands behind his back and took him away without allowing him to explain.

Liu was so anxious that she turned around and around holding her crutches, but she was unable to change the situation.

Housekeeper Lin looked at the mess in the courtyard and recalled that when the young lady was in the Lu Mansion, she was driven by them and served them, and she maintained the Lu Mansion well. It was a pity that it was not so good now.

Lu Yanxiu was taken to the Dali Temple for temporary detention.

The practice of witchcraft is still under investigation and no one will be convicted arbitrarily.

Those who should leave have left, and the main hall finally becomes quiet.

Liu knelt on the ground and cried breathlessly. When she saw Lu Zhili coming late, all her previous hopes disappeared without a trace.

Let’s not worry about what the doll is used for.

If Steward Lin's words alone were to spread, the four words "cursing the emperor" could cost the lives of their entire family!

"It's all over now..."

Mrs. Liu was in tears, her body seemed to be limp and she couldn't get up no matter what she did.

Liu Qiuqiu, who had been hiding behind the stone pillar, slowly came forward and pretended to support her, but was pushed hard.

Liu pointed her cane at her and asked through her back teeth, "It's you! You're the one cursing me behind my back? You're thinking that you'll swallow up the Lu Mansion completely after I die, right?"

"I...I didn't do that! Grandma is wronging me!"

Liu Qiuqiu knelt on the ground with her forehead against the floor, not daring to move an inch.

Liu is right.

She wanted to take charge of the family, but the old man was reluctant to hand it over.

She didn't want to live in poverty in the Lu Mansion any longer. In order to gain control of the family as soon as possible and get the private treasury hidden behind the Liu family, Liu Qiuqiu had no choice but to resort to this last resort.

I just didn't expect that it would bring about such a big disaster!

Lu Yanxiu was imprisoned, the rag doll became a thing that cursed the emperor, and the Lu family... had no way to recover.

Liu Qiuqiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she had made proper arrangements for Ji'er in advance, so there was one less burden. His best destiny would be to be reborn as soon as possible!
