Chapter 633: Witchcraft
Pang Xinlian withdrew her thoughts. She had indeed sent people to inquire. The birthday of General Lu Xiao, the guardian of the country, was not a secret.
After all, he is in a high position of power and he celebrates his birthday every year. But as Feng Wan said, it is difficult to find out the exact time.
But Pang Xinlian was still relieved because at least it proved that Feng Wan was not lying to her.
Thinking of this, Feng Wan clenched the doll in her hand, and there was a hint of hatred in her resentful eyes, as if she had made a decision.
There is no need for the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion to revive. No matter how glorious they are, she is just a cousin whose mother eloped and whose father died early. But Zhao Xueqing's status is worlds apart. It is not an exaggeration to say that she has reached heaven in one step.
As soon as the Marquis' Mansion gained power, the Gu family came over to join in. Otherwise, why would the Gu family have thought of arranging a marriage for Gu Yunhe and Zhao Xueqing.
Therefore, the Marquis' Mansion was still as good as before. After all, the Marquis of Qingyuan had countless silver, and her life was still the same as before.
What's more, the journey is dangerous and she is also helping her grandfather. It would be better to let the Lu family go for such a dangerous task.
Thinking of this, Pang Xinlian seemed to have found a plausible reason for herself, and the only remaining uneasiness in her heart completely disappeared.

At night, Old Madam Zhao was chatting with Old Man Zhao. After all, they had gone through ups and downs in half a lifetime, and the Marquis' Mansion had also experienced ups and downs, but after so many years, the farewell scene was always touching.
On the other side, Yan Wanshuang was also talking to Zhao Dechuan.
"I really don't know what the cousin of the Pang family is thinking. She actually also has her eyes on Yun He." Yan Wanshuang was unhappy, especially since she didn't like Pang Xinlian in the first place.
"Mother will take care of this matter. You just need to take good care of Sister Qing and Bao Kun. The situation in the court is unclear now. If Sister Yi needs anything, please help her." Zhao Dechuan instructed.
Although he didn't know how Shen Shuyi did it all along, at least the Marquis' Mansion today is indeed different from the past and is highly valued by the emperor.
"Do you need to tell me that? Don't worry, I have already informed my mother's family. If necessary, they will also help Mr. Xie in the court."
The couple talked at night and were quite harmonious.
Zhao Baokun, Zhao Baopeng and Zhao Xueqing were sitting in the yard, making tea and chatting.
Zhao Baokun lowered his voice and said, "I think Pang Xinlian is quite honest. Is my cousin overthinking?"
Zhao Xueqing was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Not only is the Qingyuan Marquis' Mansion a relative to her, but they have also treated her well over the years. If she is a person with a conscience, she should not do anything that is detrimental to the Marquis' Mansion."
In Zhao Xueqing's heart, she didn't think Pang Xinlian would do anything. After all, she had been living in Qingyuan Marquis' Mansion for so many years. If something happened in the Marquis' Mansion, it would be a great loss to her.
Zhao Baopeng said nothing, but just ate the fruit silently.
"Baopeng, what do you think?" Zhao Baokun turned and looked at him.
After a long silence, Zhao Baopeng said, "I don't know, but she doesn't look like a smart person, nor does she look like someone with a conscience."
This one sentence made everyone fall silent.
Yes, they grew up together for more than ten years, but Pang Xinlian’s actions are... really hard to comment on.
Zhao Baokun sighed and said, "My cousin once said that sometimes we are not afraid of people being smart, but we are afraid of people thinking they are smart."
Zhao Xueqing nodded: "She sent someone to inquire about Lu Xiao's birthday yesterday, but I don't know what she wants to do."
The group waited for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, they went back to rest.
Zhao Baopeng practiced his sword skills again and went to bed after taking a bath. Zhao Baokun, on the other hand, was resting his head on his arms and reading The Youth Story written by Shi Qifeng. All the bad things that happened to Xiao Heyu's party recently were embellished and written into the book in a different way.
During this period, the people who were cursed the most in the capital were the Lu family and the author of "Youthful Chronicles". Although Emperor Qianwu has not yet made a judgment on the actions of the Lu family and only said that it is still under investigation, the official silver involved in the flood in the south of the Yangtze River involved a wide range of people, and the Battle of Lushan was the pain of countless people.
If this is true, the Lu family will probably become a rat crossing the street, and everyone will shout and kill them.
But the Lu family would naturally not sit idly by and let public opinion ferment. Many people in the capital expressed their belief in the general who guards the country and believed that the Lu family was harmed by villains. The two voices argued endlessly and there is still no result.
However, people who read "Youth" gradually discovered that what was written in the book actually corresponded to what was happening in the Lu family now.
Zhao Baokun watched with great interest. The more he learned about the developments in the court, the more he felt that Shi Qifeng was powerful.
As for this man, he has been hidden by his uncle, and even they don't know where he is now.
Zhao Xueqing did fall asleep, but because the most important people in the family were about to leave, she was preoccupied and tossed and turned for a long time, but couldn't fall asleep.
It was not until the end of the hour of midnight that she began to feel sleepy. Suddenly, her trusted maid came in and called her in a low voice, "Miss, Lizhi sent someone to deliver the news that there is movement from the cousin of the Pang family."
Zhao Xueqing was already sleeping soundly, and woke up immediately upon hearing these words.
"Hurry, change your clothes."
"What did she do?"
The maid whispered, "Lizhi was far away, so I couldn't see clearly, but I saw her sneakily burying a cloth bag under the old banyan tree in the mansion."
"Bury something?" Zhao Xueqing asked.
"Yes."
Zhao Xueqing immediately remembered that she had inquired about Lu Xiao's birth date and horoscope a few days ago, but what did Lu Xiao's birth date and horoscope have to do with their Qingyuan Marquis Mansion?
"Send someone to deliver a message to cousin Yi to see if it's convenient for her to come over." Zhao Xueqing calmed down after she woke up.
Pang Xinlian was burying something at the moment, so it was useless for her to go over.
But after knowing this, every breath became torment, for fear that one careless mistake would implicate the entire mansion.
Zhao Xueqing waited for news in her room. About half an hour later, Lizhi came back from outside and said, "Miss, the cousin of the Pang family sent a trusted maid to meet a nanny outside the mansion. Later, the nanny returned to the Feng family and met Feng Wan."
An hour later.
Shen Shuyi put on a black cloak and appeared in Zhao Xueqing's study with Zhao Baokun, Zhao Baopeng, and Zhao Xueqing. At this moment, the doll that Pang Xinlian buried was placed on the table.
The Zhao brothers and sisters all looked unhappy.
"How could she do so much? My grandmother treats her well. If something happens to our mansion, what benefits can she get?" Zhao Baokun was very angry. He punched the table, feeling extremely disappointed.
Zhao Baopeng remained silent, but his pupils darkened a little.
Although they didn't like Pang Xinlian's personality and kept their distance from her, they still considered her a family member in their hearts. Even though they couldn't get along well with her very well, they never believed that she would really do such a thing.
Zhao Xueqing's eyes were complicated. "Your Majesty hates witchcraft the most. If this is discovered in our house, I'm afraid our efforts over the past six months will be in vain, and we may even lose our lives because of it."
