Chapter 265 Giving this Duchess a Lesson
Long Mengyue's eyes reddened. "The Soul Devouring Cauldron was stolen, and my sister has also disappeared without a trace. Father suspects that my sister is responsible and has already sent people to look for her."
Why didn't you say so just now!
Long Zhuochi angrily pushed the fruit cups at the wedding banquet to the ground.
"You and your sister are both cunning and venomous!"
"The Dragon King clearly used the Soul-Devouring Cauldron as a matchmaker, but now that our marriage is complete, he has broken his promise to me!"
"You all think I'm easy to fool, don't you!"
"No, Brother Zhuochi! I didn't mean it! I never intended to tease you, I just hoped our wedding could proceed as scheduled..." Long Mengyue hurriedly explained, but Long Zhuochi refused to listen and left the hall with a flick of his sleeve.
He must find Long Qianxue as soon as possible!
We absolutely cannot let her take the Soul Devouring Cauldron away!
Long Mengyue watched his resolute departure and collapsed to the ground.
"Brother Zhuochi, he really did marry me for the Soul Devouring Cauldron..."
She clenched her hands, holding back her tears.
"Long Qianxue...you ruined my plans, I will never let you get away with this!"
*
Human world, inn.
Long Qianxue sat at the table, staring at the Soul Devouring Cauldron that was half a person tall in front of her.
She threw the gauze in her hand into the cauldron.
The eerie will-o'-the-wisps flickered, reflecting her sinister and terrifying smile.
“Zhai Rongyu…aren’t you very capable? If the soul of a Taoist were to become entangled with the thousands of lonely souls in this cauldron, who knows what would happen.”
"Qinghe, do you think we'll be completely devoured?"
It's quite amusing to think that a cultivator dies in the belly of a wandering ghost.
"Hahahahaha..."
Qinghe glanced at Long Qianxue with some trepidation, "Miss, the Flood Dragon King must have already discovered that the Soul Devouring Cauldron is missing. If he comes looking for us..."
"What are you afraid of!"
Long Qianxue smiled nonchalantly, "My plan is now halfway complete."
"Once this is accomplished, let alone Father, what would we have to fear even if the entire world were combined!"
Seeing that the blood on the gauze had been completely absorbed, she then waved her sleeve and put away the Soul-Devouring Cauldron.
"I'll go to the Minister's residence again."
Long Qianxue stood up.
She needed to see Zhai Rongyu in a deep, unawakened sleep before she could feel at ease!
With a wave of her magic, she arrived outside the Minister's residence.
Just as they were about to pass through the wall, a carriage suddenly pulled up at the entrance. A lady with an angry expression lifted the curtain and, with her maid's help, got off the carriage.
Long Qianxue lowered her head and thought for a moment, then turned and disappeared into the shadows.
"Where is Zhai Rongyu! Bring her out here!" the Duchess of Wei roared.
Upon hearing this, Long Qianxue slightly curled the corners of her mouth.
It turns out she wasn't the only one who wanted to cause trouble for Zhai Rongyu.
She was actually quite happy to watch this spectacle.
A flash of light appeared, and the maid beside the Duchess of Wei suddenly sat up straight, her eyes widening, then a glint of shrewdness flashed in her eyes.
"You're not coming out, are you? Fine, Silverheart, let's go in!"
Lady Wei stormed into the Minister's residence, completely unaware that the maid named Yin Xin had been possessed by Long Qianxue.
Long Qianxue followed behind her.
Ignoring the servants' attempts to stop her, Lady Wei walked to Chenxingzhai and saw Zhai Rongyu swinging on the swing as if nothing had happened. She was immediately enraged and no longer cared about her gentle and demure persona. She launched into a tirade of abuse at Zhai Rongyu.
"Witch! What tricks did you use on my Shu'er?!"
"How come a perfectly healthy person came to your Chenxingzhai and then went into a coma afterward!"
"Speak! Did you do something to Shu'er?!"
The Baopu Taoist Temple in Yunshan has opened. Now, who in the capital doesn't know that Zhai Rongyu has extraordinary abilities?
Shu'er encountered such a strange thing, and after seeing many doctors, they could not find the cause of her illness. She remembered that before she fell into a coma, she had only been to Chenxingzhai, and when she returned, her complexion and mood were not very good.
Without even thinking, it must be that witch's doing!
Lady Wei stood there angrily, but dared not approach Zhai Rongyu, for fear of being knocked away by the swing.
Long Qianxue was terrified when she saw Zhai Rongyu.
How come she's alright?
The Soul Devouring Cauldron is incredibly powerful; there's no way she, a mere mortal, could escape unscathed!
unless……
Long Qianxue looked at the Lady of Wei with suspicion.
Why is it her daughter who is unconscious? Could it be that the blood on the gauze is not Zhai Rongyu's, but Wei Wenshu's?!
Long Qianxue's heart skipped a beat, and she decided to wait and see.
[Unconscious?]
Upon hearing her words, Zhai Rongyu abruptly touched the ground with her toes, bringing the swing to a stop.
What exactly did Long Qianxue do with the gauze?
She tilted her head to look at the Duke of Wei, and suddenly noticed that the maid beside her was staring straight at her with a strange expression.
She opened her third eye without making a sound.
I don’t know, I’m scared.
[Wow! Isn't that Long Qianxue?]
[How did she end up possessing this maid's body? Did she come to watch the show?]
[Or is it to confirm whether I've succeeded?]
After pondering for a moment, Zhai Rongyu said to the Lady of Wei, "What you said is quite strange, Madam."
"When Sister Wei came to see me, she was clearly fine when she left the Minister's residence. My second brother and Sister Tao can testify to that. How can this be blamed on me?"
How could the Duchess of Wei possibly believe that?
She retorted angrily, "You might be able to fool others, but you can't fool me!"
"I've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice!"
"I've seen plenty of women like you! You look innocent and harmless, but you're actually the most vicious! You're always up to some underhanded tricks!"
She's just like her mother!
Thinking of Jiang Jiusheng, the Duchess of Wei's tone became even more fierce, "I advise you, before the Duke's Mansion causes trouble for the Minister's Mansion, you'd better be sensible and rescue Shu'er for me!"
"Otherwise, if this gets to the Emperor, don't blame us, the Duke's Mansion, for not giving you face!"
Hey, I have such a bad temper!
[It's like a tortoise running a day school; a turtle can't stay at school anymore.]
Zhai Rongyu stood up and walked up to the Duchess of Wei. "Have you been eating too much ginseng and rooster? Why are you talking so sarcastically?"
"What does your daughter's coma have to do with me?"
"Do you have any evidence before you spout this nonsense?"
"As people get older, their butts loosen up, and their farts become louder."
"You are indeed the Duchess of the State, but I am also the Princess of Yongning, personally bestowed by His Majesty."
"You want to take this to the Emperor? Fine! Let's make a scene! I want to see if the Duchess comes to the Minister's residence to slander me with nothing but empty words, and the Emperor will side with you or me!"
The Duchess of Wei was speechless, her old face turning pale and ashen.
She had no evidence.
But she was absolutely certain that it was definitely related to Zhai Rongyu!
Hearing the commotion, Zhai Jiqing went into the courtyard.
"What is the Duchess doing? Coming here in broad daylight to humiliate my younger sister? Does she think my Minister's Mansion has no one to rely on?!"
He walked to Zhai Rongyu's side and saw that her face was flushed with anger. He quickly coaxed her in a low voice, "Little sister, don't be angry. This matter was caused by me. Just kick me to calm down. Let's teach this Duchess a lesson."
After saying that, he winked at Zhai Rongyu.
