“Daoist!”
Madam Hua, with a hoarse voice, shouted desperately, as if a weary traveler who had been walking all night had finally caught sight of a glimmer of light ahead and desperately wanted to grasp that ray of hope.
Daoist Xuan Cheng and the others also looked at Madam Hua. Among them, an ordinary-looking scholar in green looked at her thoughtfully.
Madam Hua was so flustered that she almost lost her mind. Her mind was in a daze.
“Only you.” The girl’s ethereal and cold voice resounded in Madam Hua’s mind again, like a bell ringing in her soul.
Madam Hua rushed forward in a daze and shouted, “Spiritual Master, open the Rebirth Hall quickly. Someone has cast an evil spell on the memorial tablets!”
A middle-aged Daoist priest’s expression instantly changed as he reprimanded sternly, “Kind lady, don’t spout nonsense!”
Their Wuliang Temple already had a bad reputation with a demonic Shangqing. Today, a female lunatic actually came to taint the Wuliang Temple’s statement! “I didn’t!” The other party’s words instantly agitated Madam Hua.
Madam Hua’s eyes were bloodshot as she said to Daoist Xuan Cheng, “Spiritual Master, I’m telling the truth! Someone is really using the offering tablet to cast evil spells!”
“My son is about to die because of this sorcery. He was cursed and even given a Yin marriage…”
Madam Hua rambled incoherently about the Hua family marrying into the Lu family. She also talked about how her eldest son, Hua Xi, was about to die because of some secret technique and wouldn’t live past noon tomorrow.
“I’m telling the truth!” She emphasized this and handed the family tree in her hand to Daoist Xuan Cheng. “Spiritual Master, take a look. In every generation of the Hua family, there are about 18-year-old men who died like this… More than a dozen people have already died!”
Madam Hua, who was in an extremely agitated mood, was completely absorbed in her own world. She couldn’t see the astonished expressions of the onlookers and continued to speak incessantly, self-assured and almost bordering on frenzy.
“Madam, what nonsense are you talking about!” The man’s stern voice suddenly sounded, interrupting Madam Hua.
The few scholars surrounding Daoist Xuan Cheng were forcefully pushed aside. A refined figure walked into Madam Hua’s vision in exasperation.
Master Hua looked at Madam Hua in shock. His face was so dark that ink was about to drip out as he forcefully grabbed the family tree.
“Master.” Madam Hua didn’t expect Master Hua to appear here at all.
She was first shocked, then anger and hatred surged.
If there was still a trace of uncertainty in her heart before, she could now confirm completely that the Master must be here for those consecrated tablets. This meant that she was right.
Under Master Hua’s furious gaze, Madam Hua took a step closer to him and asked, “Was it you?”
“You deliberately wanted to kill him for the Yin marriage, right?”
“You were lying to me when you said that it could protect him in his next life, right?”
Although Master Hua didn’t say a word, they had been married for 20 years. Madam Hua actually knew her husband very well. In the past, she just didn’t suspect anything. Now, as long as she observed carefully, she could see something wrong with Master Hua’s subtle expression.
Her heart was filled with sorrow, anger, despair, and heartache. Her heart was hot, and a ball of turbid air was stuck in her throat. She couldn’t spit it out, and her teeth creaked.
She had once believed that they were a loving and respectful couple, blessed with two legitimate sons, and her husband had always treated her with reverence, being a caring father. But within a day, her world turned upside down.
“Crazy, you’re really crazy!” Master Hua gritted his teeth, his expression uncertain.
“As expected!” Madam Hua smiled bitterly and looked at Master Hua angrily. She called him by his name, “Hua Lan, for the sake of the family’s prosperity, you didn’t hesitate to sacrifice our eldest son!!”
“Even a monster won’t hurt its own children. You’re so ruthless!”
Her heart was filled with sadness and anger. It was as if she had never known this person.
“Slam!”
There was a loud slap.
Hua Lan slapped Madam Hua’s face heavily, leaving a bright red five-finger mark on her left cheek.
Madam Hua bit her lip with her teeth, and a trace of blood dripped from the corner of her mouth. She was in a sorry state..
