Chapter 713: Possessed
Yan Ruzhuang was a little nervous. After entering the compartment, she looked left and right.
There were some spices placed in this small room. They smelled… a little familiar, but she could not recall where she had smelled them before.
There was smoke lingering, and there was also the statue of the three pure deities. It made her feel a little more at ease.
Master Mo in front of her…
Was not quite what she had imagined.
Her father always said that this Master Mo was a witch, so she could not help but think this person was either vulgar and philistine, or very good with her words. That was how she could coax Prince Ning Bei and the Li family to have flattered and respected her.
However, when she saw the rumored Master Mo, she thought she was very different from what she had imagined.
After all, this Master Mo was quite old, so she did not have the appearance of a beauty. However, she made people feel very comfortable looking at her.
Her eyes were calm and unruffled.
Her eyebrows were like the crescent moon brushing the clouds, and her smile was like the gentle breeze blowing the snow.
She was like an unworldly expert, dignified and profound.
Yan Ruzhuang’s heart was extremely shaken. Under the gaze of this pair of eyes, she actually felt a faint sense of guilt. It was as if her previous terrible guesses had been revealed, making her appear exceptionally ignorant.
“Master Mo… I’ve heard so much about you.” Yan Ruzhuang exhaled and tried to calm down. “My family… received a thank you gift from the young lady of the Xie family. It’s a wooden tablet. I heard that we can ask Master Mo for a favor…”
Xie Qiao smiled kindly. “That’s true. You can get me to look at feng shui or read fortune your fortune. It depends on what you need.”
“I came here today to ask Master that those people who have lost their minds in this world are said to be possessed by evil. Is… there really such a thing? Can it be treated?” Yan Ruzhuang asked nervously.
“It’s hard to say. Some people are indeed sick. For example, they hit their head, or they’re triggered. Their hearts can’t take it and their minds will be affected. But there are also some who are affected by the spirits and souls.” What Xie Qiao said was not helpful.
She did not give a clear answer to this young lady.
However, Yan Ruzhuang actually believed Master Mo a little.
If Master Mo insisted that this person was definitely possessed and came in contact with something evil, she would think that she had met a liar.
“So this is what happened, Master. My mother was initially fine after she gave birth. However, one day, she started to talk nonsense. She couldn’t sleep well at night. She kept saying that someone was staring at her. Occasionally, she would be fine. However, when she suddenly snapped, she would break down. She would often point at a certain place and shout. If we ignored her, she would get angry at us again. Such a situation has been going on for several years…
“I wonder if Master can take a look at my mother?” Yan Ruzhuang quickly asked.
Xie Qiao nodded. “Yes.”
Yan Ruzhuang heaved a sigh of relief.
She was a little curious, so she could not help but say, “Master’s tablet was given by Young Lady Xie. I thought there would be some animosity between the two of you.”
She was not the only one who thought this way. Many people thought the Crown Prince had taken a liking to Master Mo. However, because the courtiers opposed it, the Crown Prince randomly chose Xie Qiao, who did not have good health and would not live long.
Although that was the rumor, when she saw Xie Qiao last time, she thought the Crown Prince seemed to be very gentle with Young Lady Xie.
So who knew what the Crown Prince was thinking?
“When she was young, she grew up in a Taoist temple. It was the same Taoist temple that I cultivated in. Therefore, we can be considered fellow disciples and are slightly familiar with each other,” Xie Qiao explained with a smile.
In her heart, she secretly apologized to the deity statue.
She told a white lie!
