Chapter 501 A Dream of Red Mansions - Wang Xifeng 28

"When I left, I destroyed all the hair, nails, and other things that might have been left behind, so this fuse should not be mine."

"As for the blood, there's no need to guess. It's definitely not mine. So, the blood used in this spell is from a relative?"

Wang Xi quickly analyzed the situation and confirmed that it was blood of a relative. After thinking about it, Wang Xi quickly ruled out Wang Ziteng and Wang Ren. It was not because he was sure that they would not harm him, but because he knew that given how much they valued their lives, they would not be so cruel as to use such a dangerous spell.

You should know that this bloodthirsty curse is a "large-scale" killing curse, usually used to retaliate against an entire family. Without the knowledge of others, taking the blood of a family or clan to cast this curse can invisibly cause the family to slowly die from the loss of qi and blood without arousing suspicion.

At most, people would just think that this family member is born with poor health.

"That's my jade pendant. Didn't your clone take it with him?"

After Wang Xi came back to her senses, she thought that the medium through which Ma Dao Po cast the bloodthirsty curse was a jade pendant. She had an impression of that jade pendant, as it was brought from her hometown by Wang Xifeng before she came to Beijing and had been wearing it for many years. When she left the palace before, considering that the jade pendant was a gift from the parents of the trader, she took it off on purpose and intended to leave it to her clone, but she did not expect that the clone did not take it with him when he entered the palace.

"The ones who can get the jade pendant must be the ones who served me personally back then."

When Wang Xifeng went to Beijing, she did not bring her wet nurse with her, so there were no older mothers around her. There were only two older maids, Feng'er and Yu'er, and Ping'er and Le'er who were sent here by Zhen later.

In this life, Wang Xifeng did not marry into the Rongguo Mansion at the age of fourteen, but waited until she was sixteen to enter the palace for selection. Therefore, before that, the older Feng'er and Yu'er had already been married off by Zhen's family with servants and other family children, leaving only the two younger Ping'er and Le'er by her side.

Although two new maids came after Feng'er and Yu'er got married, because Wang Xifeng was successfully selected and was learning the rules all day long, she naturally had no time to ask the new maids to get close to her.

"So is it Ping'er or Le'er?"

Wang Xi thought about it but couldn't figure it out. Instead, he was more touched. The servants in the world of "Dream of Red Mansions" are the most real and complex "living people" among the servants seen in so many worlds. They will not surrender for a little favor, nor will they be loyal just because of their status. They are more like "working people" in modern society, and everything is based on their own interests.

No matter how loyal or devoted you are, they are not as important as your own future and interests.

Even in the imperial palace, there was no requirement for palace maids to be subservient to the concubines, nor was there a situation where the concubines could punish or beat the palace maids at will. Everything was based on status and position, that is, rank.

Even if you are the emperor's woman, your rank is very low, and even some female officials with rank can control your every word and action.

Wang Xi directly used his spiritual sense to break the curse on his body. He didn't care who wanted to harm him. It was either the queens in the palace or other people who couldn't stand seeing Wang Xifeng being favored. Now that he had left the Wang family, and his clone had entered the palace, he had repaid the Wang family for their upbringing. In terms of cause and effect, he had long since cleared all ties with the Wang family.

"I can only wish the Wang family good luck and that they can find out what's wrong as soon as possible."

Anyway, this bloodthirsty curse is not difficult to break, especially since they are not the ones cursed. As long as they can survive seven days and replenish their blood, they will not die, at most they will be a little weak.

So while Mrs. Wang was still waiting for the news from the palace that Wang Xifeng was seriously ill, her own physical discomfort came first.

Mrs. Wang had been feeling weak and powerless recently. She felt drowsy and wanted to sleep all day. She asked a doctor to come and see her, and the doctor diagnosed her with anemia due to qi deficiency. Mrs. Wang did not take it seriously and just took supplements to nourish her body.

But who would have thought that a few days later her son Jia Baoyu also fell ill. The doctor found that he was suffering from qi deficiency and anemia. Mrs. Wang already felt something was wrong at this time, but she still didn't think about the curse until later when news came from the palace that Jia Yuanchun had fainted.

Mrs. Wang became anxious and hurried to find Ma Dao Po to ask her about it. Only then did Ma Dao Po realize that Mrs. Wang was cursing her own niece. She had to tell her the additional effect of the curse.

When Mrs. Wang learned that the curse would affect all people related to Wang Xifeng by blood, she was completely dumbfounded. Even though she had countless nasty words to curse Ma Dao Po in her heart, she still had to hold her nose and ask Ma Dao Po to lift the curse.

"Madam, this is not the Taoist priest's fault."

"Everyone in the world knows this curse. Whenever blood is involved, especially when it can be performed without your own blood, it almost always involves blood relatives."

Ma Dao Po was busy for a long time, performing rituals and casting spells, which consumed a lot of her energy. Especially since removing the spell would backfire. She didn't want to go through this back and forth and end up not getting any money.

"I have used up a lot of my energy doing things for Madam. Even if I spend all the money Madam gave me on tonics, I still can't make up for it. I need to recuperate for a while."

"Now, from what Madam said, do you want to remove the curse?"

"This curse-breaking backlash is much greater than the curse-casting backlash..."

Ma Dao Po's attitude was very clear. The curse was cast at Mrs. Wang's request, and she would not return the money. Now that Mrs. Wang wanted to remove the curse, she had to pay more silver, otherwise she and her loved ones would die under the curse.

Mrs. Wang was so angry that she was about to go crazy. She didn't expect that after all the trouble she put herself in, she would end up in jail. But if she was asked to confront Ma Dao Po head-on, she couldn't do it without paying money to remove the curse.

After all, if the curse was not lifted, both she and Baoyu and Yuanchun would be in trouble. In the end, Mrs. Wang had no choice but to pay double the price and ask Ma Dao Po to lift the bloodthirsty curse.

Mrs. Wang lost more than she gained. She worked so hard but got nothing in return. As soon as she returned home after the curse was lifted, she immediately punished Zhou Rui's wife severely.

Zhou Ruijia watched the whole process and naturally knew that she had done something wrong this time. She did not dare to resist Mrs. Wang's punishment at all. Anyway, she knew so many of Mrs. Wang's secrets, and even if she was angry, she would not take her life.

Zhou Ruijia watched the whole process and naturally knew that she had done something wrong this time. She did not dare to resist Mrs. Wang's punishment at all. Anyway, she knew so many of Mrs. Wang's secrets, and even if she was angry, she would not take her life.

Zhou Ruijia was fearless, but she still underestimated Mrs. Wang's cruelty. Although Mrs. Wang was afraid that Zhou Ruijia would reveal her affairs before she died, she could not help hating Zhou Ruijia when she thought that it was Zhou Ruijia who proposed the solution and hired Ma Dao Po, who caused her to lose so much money.

Especially when she thought about how she was weak because of the curse, while Zhou Ruijia, the 'culprit', was standing aside and watching 'her joke' without any harm, Mrs. Wang felt that Zhou Ruijia was particularly annoying.

Let's teach her a lesson first, so that she understands the consequences of not sharing her master's worries!
