Chapter 307: Chapter 303: Poisoned_1
The next day, right after breakfast, Wei Zhan hurriedly dragged Yingbao out of the door.
Wen Hengyin was somewhat displeased, knocking Wei Zhan’s hand away. “What kind of behavior is that!”
Yingbao, after all, is her mother’s student, already seven or eight years old, and it doesn’t seem right to be dragged around by a boy of eight or nine years old.
Wei Zhan didn’t pay any mind to what Wen Hengyin said, he ordered a servant to call a horse-drawn carriage and invited Yingbao and Wen Shu to get in.
Arriving at the gate of the Wei Mansion in no time, Yingbao surveyed the large entrance, and she and Sister Wen Shu got out of the carriage.
The Wei Family is a wealthy household, with a wide range of businesses.
They deal in silk fabrics, gold jewellery, fur, tea and more, they also operate several banks, as well as canal transport docks, etc.
Unfortunately, the matriarch of the Wei Family, from the Wang Family, is not in good health. She only gave birth to Wei Zhan, and yet remains sickly.
If Mrs. Wang should pass away early, Wei Zhan is still young, it’s unknown who will then inherit this large family estate.
It is rumored that the head of Wei Family has many concubines, including two respected wives who have given birth to children of their own.
“Young Master, you’re back, Madame has been waiting for you.” The steward of the Wei Residence saw the young master and hurried over to take care of the horses.
With head held high, Wei Zhan said, “I brought the little Divine Doctor. Move aside, you’re in the way.”
The steward quickly moved out of the way, lowering his head slightly. With a sidelong glance, he noticed the two young girls who had just descended from the carriage, and he sneered inwardly.
Wei Zhan led the group, comprised of Zhang Min, Wen Hengyin, and Yingbao and Wen Shu, hurrying towards the inner courtyard.
As the crone at the gate of the inner courtyard wanted to stop them, she was stared down by a glowering look from Wei Zhan.
Once at the main hall, a maid quickly ran inside to report their arrival.
“Madam, the Young Master has brought a group of people in, you see…”
Mrs. Wang sat up in bed and quietly instructed, “Let them in.”
Her son’s servant had already reported that he had invited a small Divine Doctor.
Mrs. Wang gave a bitter smile.
For the rare filial piety shown by her son, she would have to keep up appearances and play host.
The young servant girl rushed out, inviting the group to sit in the parlor, stating that the Madam would be there soon.
As a result, Yingbao and the others followed Wei Zhan into the parlor. A young servant girl brought in tea and served each of them treats.
Mrs. Wang’s personal maid combed her hair and applied a little makeup. Suddenly remembering the small Divine Doctor was about to examine her, she quickly moved to remove the makeup from Mrs. Wang.
“Never mind, let it be.” Mrs. Wang stood up, letting her maid help her change her outer garment and put on her shoes before leaving the bedroom.
“Mother! Come and see the little Divine Doctor I found for you.” Seeing his mother come out, Wei Zhan quickly got up and helped her.
Mrs. Wang gave a slight nod and a smile to the group, sitting down on the main armchair.
The group introduced themselves one by one.
Mrs. Wang nodded to them to sit down, then said to Yingbao, “Please, Little Divine Doctor, can you check this sickly woman?”
Yingbao did not stand on ceremony, she took her pulse, then said, “In fact, I have now switched to the Forbidden Curse Technique. If Madam doesn’t mind, I can perform a ceremony and request a divine command for you.”
Mrs. Wang smiled gently, “Little Divine Doctor need not disparage yourself. Just perform the spell, I will be very grateful.”
“Alright, Madam please stay still.” Yingbao took out a white feathered fan from her bag. It was something she had borrowed from her elder disciple brother, and the handle of the fan had a spell engraved on it.
Yingbao murmured an exorcism spell while performing a dance to summon the gods.
