Jie teaches the Immortal Sweeping Heaven’s Cultivation of All Heavens

Chapter 18 Red Mansion 16
Ji Qiu is not an ordinary girl. She has heard too much news over the years, knows more, and her knowledge has also increased.

She understood Jia Yuanchun's concerns and nodded vigorously.

She likes to gossip, but she also knows the importance.

Jia Yuanchun sighed, feeling a little guilty towards the second master of the Shi family.

Liu Heng stretched out his hand to hold the back of Jia Yuanchun's hand and said softly: "Leave this matter to me. Don't worry, the Duke of Guo will not think of our family."

Jia Yuanchun was very knowledgeable about Liu Heng's abilities. Hearing this, he breathed a sigh of relief and held Liu Heng's hand with his backhand: "Then I'll leave it to you."

Ma Daopo had harmed many people, and Liu Heng quickly found three families who had been harmed by Ma Daopo.

Liu Heng gave instructions to the three families and asked them to go to the government to report Ma Daopo.

The imperial court was afraid of the art of witchcraft and took this matter very seriously.

After receiving the report, they immediately sent people to Madao's house to arrest the person.

The government raided Ma Daopo's home and found many clay sculptures of straw figures, some with headbands on their heads, some with nails on their chests, and some with chains on their necks.There are countless paper figures in the cabinet, and there are several small accounts underneath, which record the amount of silver that a certain house has fulfilled.

These are the evidence that Ma Daopo did evil and harmed people.

Moreover, Ma Daopo was not a hard-spoken person. As soon as the punishment came to her, she took all the punishment and asked about the privacy of many official wives and girls.

Among them, she helped the aunt of the eldest master of the Duke of Jiu's Mansion to do evil to harm the second master of the Shi family.

Ma Daopo was arrested, and the paper figurines she made were taken to the Taoist temple and asked to be dealt with by Taoist people. The evil spell above was eliminated, and the evil spell on the second master of the Shi family was naturally eliminated.

At the Duke's Mansion, the second master of the Shi family suddenly regained consciousness. Apart from being weak, he had no other problems.

This surprised and delighted most of the people in the Duke's House. They couldn't understand why the second master of the Shi family suddenly went crazy and suddenly recovered from his illness.
It wasn't until someone from the government came to the door that the Shi family knew that the second master of the Shi family had been tricked.

The eldest wife of the Shi family immediately started making trouble, and she must give an explanation to the eldest man of the Shi family.

Although the eldest son of the Shi family likes his aunt and loves his eldest son even more, he also knows that he must deal with his aunt, otherwise, he will not be able to secure his position as the head of the family.

The people in the clan will definitely blame him for this matter, and he will not be able to develop in the court.

After all, his aunt was involved in the witchcraft disaster.

The aunt was personally sent to prison by the eldest son of the Shi family and died not long after.

His eldest son is influenced by his biological mother and will have no future in this life.

Moreover, the eldest son can no longer stay in the Duke's Mansion, otherwise the eldest wife of the Shi family will have to kill her eldest son.

The eldest son of the Shi family divided the family early and gave his eldest son only a small part of the family property.

But privately, the eldest son of the Shi family gave his eldest son a lot of his assets and sent his family back to his hometown to live.

After this incident, the relationship between the eldest son of the Shi family, his wife and his legitimate son became very bad.

The eldest wife of the Shi family was very dissatisfied with the way the eldest son of the Shi family dealt with his eldest son.

The other concubines and concubines of the eldest master of the Shi family also murmured in their hearts, feeling quite disappointed with him as the head of the family.

The eldest son of the Shi family passed away two years later. I don’t know whether he really died of illness or someone secretly took action.

Other noble families also had the same conflicts as the Duke of Tuiguo.

Ma Daopo harmed many people, including Duke Li Guo.

Uncle Liu once had a favorite concubine who was a good concubine and very beautiful.

Uncle Liu Er liked her very much and had threatened Mrs. Liu Er's status.

This good concubine later died of miscarriage and massive hemorrhage, and others thought her fate was bad.

But in fact, it was Mrs. Liu Er who asked Ma Daopo to kill her concubine and the child in her belly.

Uncle Liu Er knew the truth at this time and was so angry that he locked Mrs. Liu Er in the Buddhist hall.Not even Mrs. Liu Er's natal family could go against her, because after all, this matter was of concern to the emperor.

For a time, many wives in the capital were imprisoned in Buddhist halls, and many concubines of officials died "suddenly."

Others in the capital have seen enough of the excitement.

Jia Yuanchun took Baoqin to eat melon seeds while listening to Ji Qiu's talk about the excitement of each family. He felt that the melon seeds were much more delicious.

The little girl came up with several plates of cakes. Jia Yuanchun picked up a piece of fish cake and put it to her mouth. She felt the smell of fish rush into her nose, making her unbearable and just wanted to vomit.

Baoqin hurriedly stepped forward to rub Jia Yuanchun's back. Seeing Jia Yuanchun's reaction, Baoqin said, "Grandma, you haven't changed your bath this month, have you?"

Jia Yuanchun took a sip of the hot tea handed over by the little girl, suppressed the nausea in his heart, and came to his senses.

Jia Yuanchun's face showed a hint of joy and he said to Baoqin: "Go and ask a doctor to come over."

The doctor was soon invited to Liu's house. Liu's mother got the news and thought Jia Yuanchun was sick, so she immediately came to visit.

Jia Yuanchun had a very good relationship with Liu's mother, and she liked this mother-in-law who would not bother her husband by sending maids to her.

Jia Yuanchun shyly said to Liu's mother: "Don't worry, madam, I just felt a little nauseous when I ate the fish cakes, so I asked the doctor to come and take a look."

Liu's mother reacted faster than Jia Yuanchun, then she laughed and said to the doctor expectantly: "Mr. doctor, hurry up and check my daughter-in-law's pulse."

The doctor took Jia Yuanchun's pulse and came to a conclusion.

He smiled and congratulated Jia Yuanchun and Liu Mu.

Liu's mother smiled from ear to ear and asked her grandma to give the doctor ten taels of silver as a thank you.

The doctor left happily.

Jia Yuanchun touched his belly with a happy smile on his lips.

Liu Heng returned home and was a little surprised to learn that Jia Yuanchun was pregnant again.

He originally thought of waiting a few more years until his eldest son became enlightened and Jia Yuanchun would have extra time to have a second child.

Unexpectedly, Jia Yuanchun became pregnant unexpectedly when her eldest son was only one year old.

The child has arrived and cannot be given up.

Liu Heng put away his surprise, showed a smile, and comforted Jia Yuanchun.

Mother Liu sent a servant to Rongguo Mansion to deliver the message.

The people from Rongguo Mansion had returned to the capital. When Mrs. Wang heard the news, she immediately packed up a lot of medicinal materials and came to Liu Mansion to visit her daughter.

After learning that her son-in-law had moved into the study room without marrying each other, Mrs. Wang enviously said to her daughter: "You are lucky enough to marry such a good husband like your son-in-law. Your father is not even qualified to carry his shoes."

Jia Yuanchun smiled awkwardly, saying this was not easy to answer.

Jia Zheng is her biological father.

Although, she agreed with her mother's words in her heart.

After Mrs. Wang cared about her daughter, she talked about her own depression.

She complained that Jia Zheng had assigned Jia Zhu a daughter from a "poor scholar" family.

Jia Zhu's wife in this life is still Li Wan.

Jia Zheng admired scholars the most. He was able to let his son marry the daughter of the Imperial Academy's Jijiu because he asked Jia Daishan.

Jia Daishan felt that Jia Zhu's temperament was not suitable for officialdom, and was even more suitable for places like the Hanlin Academy and the Imperial College, so he promoted the marriage between the Jia family and the Li family.
