The troupe that came this time could conjure tricks that shocked everyone.

“I understand. Go back first. I’ll contact Mr. Song after the general comes back and discuss it with him. This matter is not as simple as you think.”

Lin Suisui could more or less guess what was going on. She stood up and looked at Zhou Ningqian as she said seriously, “After you go back this time, don’t leave your courtyard and don’t step into Old Madam’s courtyard.

!!

After I go over and confirm that it’s fine, you can do whatever you want, but it’s best to be careful for now.”

“Is there anything wrong?” Zhou Ningqian was shocked by Lin Suisui’s seriousness and asked carefully.

“I’m just suspicious. Because I haven’t seen the old lady’s specific situation yet, I can’t be sure for the time being, but listen to me. There’s nothing wrong with being careful.”

Because she couldn’t confirm it yet, Lin Suisui didn’t tell Zhou Ningqian her guess. She only hoped that Zhou Ningqian would be vigilant and avoid danger for the time being.

Upon hearing Lin Suisui’s words, Zhou Ningqian didn’t ask further and nodded. She stayed behind to talk to Lin Suisui for a while before getting up and leaving.

After sending Zhou Ningqian off, Lin Suisui instructed Yuan Niang to ask Su Le to arrange for someone to send a letter to Lu Ze.

After about an hour, Lin Suisui saw Lu Ze rushing back. Seeing that Lin Suisui was safe, he heaved a sigh of relief and slowed down to ask, “What’s wrong?”

“Someone from Marquis Beining’s ministry came just now. Ning Qian said that the old lady is seriously ill and had been unconscious for the past few days.” Seeing Lu Ze return, Lin Suisui stood up and helped him take off his cloak as she briefly told him what Zhou Ningqian had said when she came over just now.

Then, she revealed her guess, “I suspect that the old lady is not sick, but poisoned.

The person who cast the Gu is most likely a member of that troupe. It’s just that we don’t know their motive yet, so I think we should go over tomorrow to take a look.”

“I’ve arranged for people to keep an eye on that troupe since you mentioned it to me previously.” After Lu Ze heard Lin Suisui’s words, he also told her about his arrangements. “However, we didn’t find anything unusual. Those people were too secretive. In order not to alert the enemy, the shadow guards we sent out didn’t get too close and overlooked some details.”

“It’s impossible for a voodoo master to let outsiders see how he casts a voodoo.” Lin Suisui wasn’t surprised. After all, casting a voodoo was a very secretive move. If people could tell so easily, they wouldn’t have left the southern border.

After discussing tomorrow’s schedule, Lu Ze didn’t stay any longer and returned to the front yard to make arrangements.

Lin Suisui read medical books for a while more. When it was getting late, she asked the woman to set up the table.

Since they had decided to go to Marquis Beining’s ministry, it was naturally better to go sooner rather than later. Lu Ze had instructed someone to tell Song Minghui yesterday, so when their carriage stopped outside the newly repaired door of Marquis Beining’s ministry, the servants guarding the door tactfully opened the main door and welcomed them in respectfully.

When Lin Suisui got out of the carriage, Song Minghui was already waiting at the side. When he saw Lu Ze and Lin Suisui, he came over to greet them before briefly explaining the old lady’s situation to them.

“I’ve already ordered people to strictly monitor the people in the residence according to your previous instructions. None of the servants in the residence have gone out.”

As Song Minghui told Lu Ze about his arrangements, he led Lu Ze and Lin Suisui to the courtyard where the old lady was.

With the previous commotion, Marquis Beining’s ministry was very quiet now. The servants passing by were all respectful, for fear that they would endanger their lives.

When Yu Niang and Song Xiao were still around, the courtyard was very lively. However, the two of them were gone and Marquis Beining, who came to take care of the old lady, had a reserved personality. Coupled with the bitter smell of medicine that filled the courtyard, it made the place seem even more suffocating.

Seeing Lin Suisui and Lu Ze, who had been invited in by Song Minghui, Madam Beining, who was guarding the old lady’s bed, was shocked. Her hand trembled and she accidentally splashed the medicine bowl in her hand on herself.

“No, it’s just that the medicine bowl is a little hot.” Madam Beining stood up from the round stool. For a moment, she didn’t know what to say and could only try her best to explain to the people opposite her.

“Mother, your clothes are dirty. I’ll keep watch here. Go back and change your clothes first,” Song Minghui suggested calmly as he glanced at Madam Beining, who was trying her best to remain calm.

Madam Beining was a little hesitant, but when she saw her son’s unyielding attitude, she finally chose to compromise. She nodded at Song Minghui uneasily as she said reluctantly, “Your grandmother is very sick, so don’t anger her too much.”

“Don’t worry, she’ll definitely live to a ripe old age,” Song Minghui replied indifferently with a mocking smile.

Madam Beining could hear the sarcasm in her son’s tone. She knew that Song Minghui was already estranged from her, but what could she do about it?

With all kinds of grievances and anguish, Madam Beining left.

After Marquis Beining left, Song Minghui turned to the other servants who were still standing in the room and instructed with an impassive expression, “All of you, leave first and wait outside!”

“Mr. Song, the old lady’s health…” Hearing Song Minghui’s instructions, the nanny, who had been serving the old lady, quickly stood up to object. Unexpectedly, Song Minghui didn’t give her a chance to speak.

“I know that the old lady’s health isn’t good, so I invited the general’s wife over to take a look at her.” Song Minghui looked up slightly with a threatening look in his eyes. “Are you suspecting me?”
