Chapter 985: Chapter 983 Curse Talisman

Sally picked up the farm tools placed in the corner of the wall and started weeding the vegetable patch, pretending not to see them.

"Gone mute again?" Yu Chu shouted at Sally.

"Master, Qiu’er has always been like this." Mrs. Fang said to Yu Chu, but the corner of her eye glanced at the four-sided brocade box.

"She was perfectly articulate at the gate, and His Highness was there."

Mrs. Fang looked at Yu Chu in surprise, "Really?"

"Old An was there at the time." Yu Chu looked at a middle-aged servant behind him.

"Yes, Master is right. The eldest lady spoke clearly at the time, and... she was holding a child." Old An secretly glanced at Sally.

"Father, Mother, I just finished cultivating and heard my sister returned. Did something happen?" Yu Shenghuan, dressed in a white skirt full of immortal energy, approached lightly but gracefully. Yet upon seeing Sally standing well, her speech halted abruptly.

Sally looked at her and suddenly laughed, "I really owe it to my sister. If it were not for you having Nanny Liu push sister off the cliff, in fright, sister suddenly could speak again."

These words left everyone shocked.

Sally lowered her head, gazing at the vegetable patch, pulling a weed.

Yu Chu’s face darkened as he looked at Yu Shenghuan, "Huan’er, is what your sister said true?"

Mrs. Fang hurriedly said, "Absolutely impossible! Huan’er has been closed off, cultivating these days, preparing to enter the Spiritual Awakening Stage before the Spirit Awakening Exam of the Immortal Dynasty. She had no time for anything else."

"Yes, Father, as Mother says, I have never left the Prime Minister’s Mansion." Yu Shenghuan bowed her head and replied.

Sally sneered coldly, "What, dare to act but not to admit?"

"Sister’s words are accusing unfairly. Why should sister admit to things she hasn’t done?" Yu Shenghuan raised her eyes to look at Sally, her gaze probing, trying to see why she was still alive.

"Are you sure you didn’t do it?" Sally smiled at her, "Dare to drip blood and swear on this curse talisman?"

Sally asked Xiaomei for a curse talisman.

This was something a student from Divine Beast Academy sold her when she opened a general store in the Divine Realm.

The quality naturally varied, but to encourage students to cultivate more diligently, she would buy them.

This curse talisman was sold to her by one of those students.

They said it was a vow talisman: just drip a drop of blood on it and speak to it. If it’s true, the talisman self-destructs. If it’s false, the person would be cursed, the effect depending on their cultivation base. For someone like Qing Linghuan in the Divine Sovereign Realm, it would have no effect, but for a small divine creature, it could be lethal.

At that time, she whimsically let Zulu try it, asking him if he loved her.

Zulu unhesitatingly dripped blood, then confessed to her, and the talisman self-destructed.

Yu Shenghuan looked at that talisman, her face turning unpleasant, "I don’t want to drip blood. Who knows what this talisman is; why don’t you drip first and see if it’s real or fake."

Mrs. Fang also said, "Exactly, you try it first."

Sally immediately dripped a drop of blood onto the talisman, "Ask away?"

But her gaze turned to Yu Chu.

Yu Chu frowned, this farce was absurd, but the situation changed rapidly, "You... whose child is that?"

Sally replied, "It’s mine."

The talisman self-destructed.

Yu Chu was dumbfounded, "Really your child?"

"Everything I say is true. Besides, lying has consequences, not worth it for you." Sally took out another talisman, handed it to Yu Chu, "Your turn. Just ask if she instructed Nanny Liu to push me off the cliff."

Yu Chu took the talisman, looked at Yu Shenghuan, his demeanor now kind compared to the anger towards Sally, "Huan’er, if we are upright, there’s no need to fear shadows."

"Father! You don’t believe your daughter?" Yu Shenghuan was sad and lost color, "No, daughter doesn’t want to do such a foolish thing."

"Guilty conscience." Sally disdainfully sneered, raising an eyebrow at Mrs. Fang, "Is this how you taught your daughter?"

Mrs. Fang looked at the talisman, just a normally yellowed piece of paper with simple symbols, like something from a trickster, no threat. If they backed down now, it would be an admission of guilt.

"Huan’er, your father is right; if we haven’t done it, what should we fear?" Moreover, Mrs. Fang was convinced Yu Shenghuan had indeed been cultivating in the mansion.

Xiaomei said to Sally: [Xiaomei just traced this Mrs. Fang. She doesn’t know about Yu Shenghuan harming Yu Bei Qiu. She’s been busy fighting for favor with Aunt Xue from Tingxue Pavilion.]

Sally pulled a vegetable, addressing Yu Shenghuan, "If you dare to try, I’ll eat this vegetable with the soil."

Mrs. Fang’s eyes lit up, secretly nudged Yu Shenghuan, "Huan’er."

However, Yu Shenghuan, seemingly unreasonably terrified of this curse talisman, said, "No, I don’t want to!" and ran away in fear.

Sally thought: ... She’s smart.

Yu Chu held the talisman, his face very unpleasant. After all, Yu Shenghuan’s evasion was already an implicit admission.

Mrs. Fang’s expression slightly changed, hurriedly saying, "Master, I will go see her, and ask in detail."

She spoke, and had the maid carrying the four-sided brocade box walk with her.

"Wait, leave the box." Yu Chu said to Mrs. Fang.

Mrs. Fang was guilty right now and dared not defy Yu Chu openly, thus had the maid leave the four-sided brocade box behind. She thought she would retrieve it soon enough anyway.

Mrs. Fang left with her personal maid.

Yu Chu handed the four-sided brocade box to Sally, "This was given to you by the Queen, previously kept with Father."

Sally opened the box; inside was a jade Ruyi made of Spirit Jade.

She took out the Jade Ruyi, and with a slight exertion, it crumbled into powder... nourishing the vegetable seedlings.

"This thing is useless to me. Besides, for a woman who has already had a child, whether Royal Family nobility or common men, none can accept."

Yu Chu looked at her with disbelief, "You! Wretched thing, what have you done? That was a gift from the Queen!"

[Found it!]003 said to Sally, "Inside the Royal Palace, detected virus data waves. But it seems it noticed me. Sorry, Host, startled the snake."

Sally could no longer afford to waste words with Yu Chu, instantly teleported away to Dayong Palace.

"Qiu’er—Qiu’er—" Yu Chu shouted urgently, but Sally had long vanished.

"Master, the eldest lady apparently not only speaks but inherited the late wife’s cultivation talent." Old An said to Yu Chu.

Yu Chu frowned, looking at the curse talisman in his hand, "How is this possible, at seven years old, her Spirit Root had already shriveled, did it rejuvenate?"

Old An was equally puzzled, "By the way, Master, the eldest lady has a servant named Ling Yue, perhaps he knows something about her situation."

"Bring him to me immediately!"

"Yes."
