Quick Wear: I Fulfill the Wish of Cannon Fodder

Su Lan completely ignored the little tricks of the others and instead turned her gaze with great interest to the charlatan who was performing. She secretly thought that if she could learn a few tricks from them, she might be able to use them to deal with some tricky situations in the future.

At this time, the two disciples had completed the altar-opening ceremony and stood aside, while Taoist Tang, holding a peach wood sword, began to dance freely in the open space.

His movements were fluid, a combination of strength and flexibility that was dazzling. At the same time, he would occasionally fling handfuls of incense ash, dropping them onto the sword with unerring precision. As the peach wood sword danced, the ash formed strange arcs in the air.

Then, Taoist Priest Tang suddenly pointed his sword at a yellow talisman on the table. Instantly, as if a mysterious force were unleashed, the talisman burst into flames. When the flames died down, everyone was surprised to discover that the previously blank talisman had two large characters: Southwest!

"Your Majesty, after some calculations, I have learned that the evildoer is hiding in the southwest." Taoist Tang put away his sword and stood, reporting to the Marquis solemnly.

Hearing this, Yun Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, a meaningful smile on his face. He slowly turned his head to look at Yi Qinghui and her son beside him, and said, "Oh? Southwest direction... Madam, what do you think about this?"

Yi Qinghui shuddered at the words, her handkerchief unconsciously clenching. She quickly feigned a pitiful expression, gently wiping away the nonexistent tears from her eyes. She choked back her words, "My Lord, I have been with you for over ten years and have always been loyal to you. How could I be some evildoer?"

After saying that, she suddenly turned around, glared at Taoist Tang, and shouted harshly, "Old Taoist, are you deliberately making random guesses to frame us?"

When Yi Qinghui heard the word "southwest", her heart suddenly trembled and her eyelids began to twitch uncontrollably. Because the southwest direction was exactly where the main courtyard where she lived was located!

At this moment, the servants gathered in the back garden were silent, not daring to breathe. After all, this matter was of great importance. If it was not handled properly, once the lady was implicated, those who knew about it in advance would be doomed, and even their lives would be lost.

At the same time, Yun Lin, who had been sitting in Madam Yun's arms, could no longer suppress his inner anxiety. He suddenly broke free from his grandmother's embrace, jumped to the ground, and shouted directly at Taoist Tang: "Humph! You stinky old man, could it be that you accepted bribes from someone and are deliberately talking nonsense here?"

Faced with Yun Lin's fierce questioning, Taoist Tang couldn't help but feel a little flustered. After everyone's strong reaction, he realized that what he had just said might be inappropriate.

He quickly shook his head, trying to explain, "Oh, that's not what I meant... Actually, my calculations this time revealed anomalies in two directions: one in the southwest, and the other in the northeast."

After saying this, Taoist Tang subconsciously tightened the whisk in his hand. Due to excessive tension, even his palms began to sweat slightly.

At this point, Madam Yun paused for a moment, then spoke, "If that's the case, then let's arrange for personnel to conduct thorough searches of these two locations. Qinghui, Aunt Su, do you have any objections?"

"Just listen to what mom says!" Yi Qinghui quickly put on a bright smile on her face, secretly glad that she had made a plan in advance.

Not long ago, she had quietly arranged for her maid to deliver the mysterious wooden box to Hibiscus Garden. She wanted to see if Su Lan could still remain so calm when the wooden box was presented to everyone.

On the other hand, Su Lan behaved very respectfully. She bent her knees slightly, performed a standard bow to the old lady, and said in a sweet voice, "Of course I will follow your wishes, old lady." Her posture was elegant and dignified, and there was nothing wrong with it.

At this moment, Yun Xiao, seated at the head of the table, waved his hand, signaling the housekeeper to lead his men to investigate. However, his gaze kept darting back and forth between Yi Qinghui and Su Lan, as if trying to catch some clue from the subtle changes in their expressions. After all, the rumors about the demonic presence in the family were intensifying, and he couldn't help but become suspicious of these two women.

Just as everyone was thinking about it, Yun Lin suddenly rushed in front of Su Lan like a gust of wind. He raised his head, glared at Su Lan with disdain, and shouted, "Mrs. Su, in my opinion, you must be that monster! Humph, not only have you ruined my father's future, I'm afraid you will harm our family in the future!"

Su Lan didn't bristle at Yun Lin's accusations. Instead, she curled her lips slightly, revealing a faint smile. She softly replied, "Oh? So, despite his young age, the Young Master possesses such remarkable insight. But by that, doesn't the Young Master resemble that demon even more than I do?" These words were spoken softly, yet to Yun Lin's ears, they carried an indescribable depth.

Yun Lin's heart suddenly trembled. He stared at Su Lan with wide eyes, and couldn't help but feel a wave of doubt in his heart. Could it be that this Su Yi Niang, whom he had always regarded as a lowly servant, was also reborn?

No, absolutely not! She was just a person of humble status, how could she have such a heaven-defying opportunity? Thinking of this, Yun Lin's heart became more and more flustered. No matter how hard he tried, he could not suppress the fear and anxiety that kept welling up in his heart.

"Master, we found something!" Butler Li shouted as he came running, panting, holding an exquisite wooden box. His slightly overweight body was trembling slightly from running, and his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.

Seeing this, Yun Lin raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a smug smile: "Haha, I expected to find something in this Su concubine's courtyard. So, now that the evidence is solid, what else do you have to quibble with?"

As he spoke, his childish face was filled with confidence and pride, as if everything was under control. After all, he had always believed that he was destined to be the one, and everything would go smoothly as he envisioned.

However, facing the questioning gazes of the crowd and Yun Lin's questioning, Su Lan's face showed no sign of panic. Instead, she remained calm and composed, even with a faint smile, and said softly, "Young Master, why don't you take a closer look at which direction the housekeeper came from?"

Although Yunlin was a little confused, he still turned around and looked. It would have been fine if he hadn't looked, but once he did, he was stunned—he saw Butler Li running all the way from the southwest.

Looking in that direction again, Yun Lin was surprised to find that his mother was slumped on the ground, her face as pale as paper, muttering to herself: "Impossible... How is this possible..."

"My Lord, this thing definitely doesn't belong to me! Someone must have deliberately framed me! That's right, it must be this Concubine Su who did this!"

The lady who had collapsed on the ground suddenly stood up and pointed at Su Lan, her eyes filled with anger and resentment. "Su Lan, I've always been kind to you and treated you like my own sister, but you are so cruel to hurt me like this!"

At this moment, Yun Xiao's face was as gloomy as water, and he tightly grasped the voodoo doll in his hand, his eyes uncertain. He first looked at Su Lan deeply, then slowly asked, "Su Lan, now that things have come to this, do you have anything to say?" The whole scene suddenly became tense, and everyone's eyes were focused on Su Lan, waiting for her answer.
