Quick Transmigration Sweet Story, The White Moonlight Rescue Plan

Chapter 107 The Wise Cannon Fodder's Path to Crushing Scum (26)

A commotion arose from the crowd. It turned out that Shangguan Jingtai and Yuli had arrived. These two were truly extraordinary; they could cause a stir wherever they went.

A short while later, Xue Zhilan helped Shen Menglan arrive.

Since Xue Zhilan married Shen An, Shen Menglan's health has deteriorated day by day, and she now relies entirely on medication to stay alive. On the other hand, Xue Zhilan seems to have become more plump since marrying Shen An, and her alluring eyes always give people a soft, seductive look, making her extremely charming. Any man who sees Xue Zhilan like this would drool over her.

Today, Liu Shanshan wore a deep red dress. As she turned slightly, the dress spread out, and her every move was as graceful as a willow swaying in the wind.

Liu Ruxi and her mother followed closely behind. Liu Ruxi was dressed appropriately today, but she was not as eye-catching as Liu Shanshan. However, Liu Shanshan's radiance was too dazzling and completely overshadowed Liu Ruxi, so everyone only noticed Liu Shanshan.

Just as people were staring at Liu Shanshan in a daze, a loud noise came from Xue Zhilan.

Shen Menglan lay stiffly on the ground, her face pale and foaming at the mouth, seemingly unconscious. The crowd instantly panicked.

Xue Zhilan was panicked and clung to Shen Menglan, crying out Shen Menglan's name. However, her seductive eyes, which were gleaming with a sharp light, betrayed her state of mind.

Liu Shanshan hurriedly ordered someone to summon the imperial physician.

Physician Ge rushed over with his medicine box, and after taking the pulse for a while, his expression gradually became serious.

Seeing this, Liu Shanshan asked with concern, "Doctor Ge, how is Madam Xue?"

Physician Ge bowed to Liu Shanshan and said, "Your Highness, Madam Xue's pulse is very strange. Sometimes it is strong and sometimes it is weak. It doesn't seem like she has any acute illness. It seems more like..." Physician Ge looked troubled, as if he had something difficult to say.

"What's wrong with my mother?" Xue Zhilan asked anxiously.

Liu Shanshan said to Physician Ge, "Please speak freely, Physician Ge."

After much deliberation, Physician Ge seemed to have made up his mind and said, "Madam Xue's pulse doesn't seem to indicate any acute illness; it's more like she's possessed!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked.

"Although Madam Xue is somewhat arrogant, she is not a particularly wicked person. Who is so malicious as to curse her?"

"Yes, yes! It's really scary!"

As the crowd was buzzing with discussion, someone speculated, "Could it be that the whole affair between Madam Xue and that coachman was also due to a curse?"

Instantly, more than half of the crowd believed it, because everyone knew Shen Menglan too well. She had always been aloof and felt disgusted even talking to servants. She had been repulsed for a long time after hearing that her husband had a child with a country woman, let alone that kind of thing.

When the story about Shen Menglan and the stable boy came out, no one suspected anything because the evidence was conclusive.

But now, if it's because I've been cursed by someone else, then it's hard to say.

Seeing that it had worked, Xue Zhilan gave Zhou's mother a charming smile. Zhou's mother found the smile very creepy and broke out in a cold sweat.

Zhou Mama is Shen Menglan's personal maid. A few days ago, her youngest son was arrested by the yamen for gambling. She went to Xue Zhilan hoping that Shen An could talk to the yamen and see if they could release her youngest son.

As a result, Xue Zhilan asked her to poison Shen Menglan's daily meals. At first, she hesitated, but for the sake of her youngest son, she had no choice but to do so.

Thinking of this second young lady, who wouldn't even spare her own biological mother, Zhou's mother kept wiping the cold sweat from her forehead.

Xue Zhilan then wailed loudly, "Damn it, who tried to harm their mother? Is there no law anymore?"

Turning her head and seeing Liu Shanshan, Xue Zhilan immediately crawled forward on her knees and knelt down, saying, "Please, Your Highness, do me justice!"

Liu Shanshan was very pleased with Xue Zhilan's flattery, and she also put on airs and said, "Don't worry, Madam Shen, this princess will definitely find the real culprit for your mother."

What a blatant possession!

They actually attributed all of Shen Menglan's previous crimes to being cursed, trying to gloss over them with a single stroke.

Xiao Xiao smiled dismissively. She wanted to see what tricks Xue Zhilan was going to play.

At this moment, someone in the crowd seemed to have thought of it: Master Kongjue!

Master Kongjue is a well-known exorcism master in the capital recently. Families in the capital who have recently suffered some unexplained misfortunes have all been safe and sound after asking him to perform exorcisms.

Therefore, Master Kongjue became a highly sought-after master in the capital, and everyone said that he was Zhong Kui reincarnated, specializing in slaying demons and monsters and pacifying the four directions.

Only Xiao Xiao knew that this Master Kongjue was nothing but a charlatan. He had several men who specifically targeted wealthy families, going out late at night to perform ghost stories.

How could these families not have some shady dealings? Over time, people naturally become afraid.

Kong Jue then appeared at the door of those people at just the right time, telling them that a demon had appeared in their homes and that they needed to exorcise it to bring peace.

At first, some people didn't believe it, but after he performed the spell, his subordinates stopped their charade and naturally calmed down.

In this way, word spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and Kong Jue's reputation spread throughout the capital.

In the original text, it was because Kong Jue was too stingy that he would take most of the money every time it was distributed. One of his apprentices couldn't stand it anymore, so he went to the county government office and caught him in the act, and that's when people found out his true colors.

However, when the government sent people to arrest Kong Jue, he inexplicably disappeared.

Before long, Kong Jue was summoned. He was seen brandishing his long sword with his eyes closed, chanting incantations in front of the altar. Suddenly, he picked up a talisman from the side and burned it over a candle flame. Then, he suddenly opened his eyes and shouted, "What kind of demon are you? Show your true form at once!"

Kong Jue continued to wield his longsword, and soon he was covered in cold sweat, as if he was fighting a fierce battle with the demon. It seemed that the demon's magic was very powerful. Before long, Kong Jue was defeated, fell to the ground, and gasped for breath.

Kong Jue's acting skills are really good, so realistic. Luckily, Xiao Xiao already knew he was a conman, otherwise she would have been fooled by his acting skills.

After collapsing to the ground, Kong Jue spat out a mouthful of chicken blood that he had been holding in his mouth beforehand, and said with difficulty, "Your Highness, this demon is the Heavenly Net Fiend Star, extremely evil! This evil creature takes the blood of the person who casts the curse as its guide, and torments the person who suffers the blood curse day and night, making them gradually emaciated until finally, there is no cure and they die young. It is clear that the person who cast the blood curse is extremely wicked!"

After Kong Jue finished speaking, the crowd erupted in uproar. Several noblewomen who were acquainted with Shen Menglan were terrified. They knew best these past few days that Shen Menglan was exactly as Kong Jue described, and they were even more convinced that what Kong Jue said was the truth.

Liu Shanshan was shocked and quickly asked, "Is there any way to break the blood curse?"

Kong Jue replied, "There is a way, but we must first find the person who cast the blood curse! Just a drop of blood from the person's brow will be enough to break the curse!"

"Does the master have a way to find the person who cast the blood curse?" Xue Zhilan asked anxiously.

“Yes, but I need to take one of the lady’s ornaments! Preferably a hairpin or a sharp object! After I finish reciting the incantation, the person this sharp object points to is the person who cast the spell,” Kong Jue replied.

Kong Jue intentionally reminded her, and Xue Zhilan understood, immediately taking the silver hairpin from Shen Menglan's hair and giving it to Kong Jue.

After Kong Jue obtained the silver hairpin, he chanted an incantation again, and the silver hairpin miraculously began to spin. The crowd fell silent, waiting to see who had dared to cast such a vicious blood curse on Shen Menglan.

As soon as Kong Jue finished reciting the incantation, the silver hairpin stopped, its tip pointing directly at Xiao Xiao.
