Chapter 271 Witch
After Ji Xiangli left the Ji Mansion, he went straight to Jiang Yuanfeng's residence in Xianyifang.
A murderous rage surged in his chest, causing his dim yellow eyes to turn a frightening red.
The man surnamed Jiang actually dared to deceive Si Luan, lying that the killing talisman containing the evil spirit was used to make that evil woman Lu Xuan fall in love with him!
If the talisman had killed the witch, he wouldn't be so angry.
The key point is that not only did he fail to kill the witch, but he also forced the witch to take action now and lead all the ghosts to the Ji family!
Jiang Yuanfeng must have ulterior motives!
Having served in the same court for more than ten years, the two have known each other for even longer.
How could he not know what this person was planning?
Isn't this killing two birds with one stone, using Si Luan to deal with the witch he wants to deal with? !
Ji Xiangli was so angry that he could hardly breathe. Suddenly, the coachman let out a "whoosh" and his thoughts were abruptly interrupted.
"Master, we have arrived at Lord Jiang's residence."
The coachman respectfully helped him out of the carriage.
When the Jiang residence's doorman saw that it was Ji Xiangli, he immediately took two steps forward and said with lowered brows, "Father-in-law Ji is here. The master has gone to the morning court. If you want to see him, you'll probably have to wait for an hour."
Seeing the servant's respectful look, Ji Xiangli calmed down a little, waved his hand nonchalantly, and walked straight to the main hall of Jiang's house.
About an hour later, the sound of several more horse hooves could be heard outside the mansion.
"My lord is back."
"Thank you for your hard work in the morning court!"
"My lord, do you want me to serve you?"
"..."
Ji Xiangli was drinking tea in the main hall of Jiang's house.
Hearing the faint sound of sweet laughter coming from the door, he couldn't help but frown.
He knew that they were Jiang Yuanfeng's concubines, who were eagerly waiting to welcome him.
He's living a comfortable life these days!
Being surrounded by girls every day is such a comfortable and happy experience!
The servant was just about to tell Jiang Yuanfeng that Ji Xiangli had arrived and was waiting for him at the mansion.
But the concubines were talking one after another and he couldn't get a word in.
Therefore, the disciples had no choice but to convey this news to Wubai.
Jiang Yuanfeng was walking towards the backyard with his arms around two stunning women.
When passing by the main hall, I inadvertently caught a glimpse of Ji Xiangli drinking tea.
Season's ceremony?
A trace of doubt flashed through his mind.
What is he here to do?
After what happened in Ji Mansion last time, Ji Xiangli never treated him well again.
He also didn't want to bring bad luck to the Ji family, so it was better not to see him and he was happy to have some free time.
However, at this time, this person came to the door in person after suspecting that he had disturbed the Ji family's formation.
Judging from his complexion, he seems to be much worse than the last time we met...
Jiang Yuanfeng's eyelids twitched.
Could it be that something went wrong with Ji Bozhou?
As I was thinking, Ji Xiangli's voice rang in my ears.
"Lord Jiang is so blessed! Every day when he goes to court, he is surrounded by beautiful ladies. His life is so wonderful!"
Jiang Yuanfeng pretended not to understand the sarcasm in Ji Xiangli's words. With a somewhat lazy smile, he replied, "Hey, Ji Guozhang! I thought it would be difficult to see Ji Guozhang at my Jiang residence. Why are you here again today?"
He let go of the two beautiful concubines, walked towards Ji Xiangli's seat, and entered the main hall.
"Last time at the Ji Mansion, didn't you say that you were not done with me, Jiang, and that you would never let me go in the future?"
Seeing Jiang Yuanfeng's nonchalant look, Ji Xiangli's anger was about to burst out.
The sarcasm on his face suddenly faded. He was too lazy to play along and glared at Jiang Yuanfeng angrily, his eyes flashing with a fierce light. "Mr. Jiang, don't you think you have something to tell me when I come here today?"
"Sir, what do you need to tell Father-in-law Ji?"
Jiang Yuanfeng walked to the other end of the eight-immortals table and sat down, glancing at him lightly.
Seeing that this man was so arrogant, Ji Xiangli slammed the table.
"Why did you lie to Si Luan about what you promised him? Why did you use him to harm my Ji family?!"
Anger was boiling in his chest. "You must give me an explanation for this matter today!"
Seeing Ji Xiangli so indignant, Jiang Yuanfeng immediately understood the purpose of his visit today.
It seems that my previous guess was correct.
Something happened to the Ji family because of that talisman!
"Father-in-law Ji, that's a bit presumptuous." Jiang Yuanfeng took a sip of tea. "That day, it was Young Master Ji who came to my house personally, asking me to give him a talisman that would make the woman he loved go home with him."
"I don't think there's anything wrong with the talisman I gave you!"
Now, he still didn't know what happened to the talisman and how Lu Xuan broke it.
Therefore, I cannot acknowledge this matter.
"How can you conclude that it was my spell that had a problem? And not that the person you met cast a new spell on Master Ji or the Ji Mansion?"
Ji Xiangli is not well versed in the mysteries of the subject, so I guess he won't be able to discover the key points.
It must be that Lu Xuan said something to Ji Bozhou, which led to him coming to question him directly.
But, what kind of relationship does Lu Xuan have with them?
Therefore, he naturally does not have to worry about any real consequences.
Ji Xiangli and Jiang Yuanfeng have been fighting each other for more than ten years. Seeing his reaction now, how could he not know his methods?
He sneered, "Lord Jiang, you think that I don't understand the profound arts and have no one to rely on, so even if I lie, no one will expose you, right?"
"Besides, Lu Xuan and the Ji family are old enemies, so he certainly won't help the Ji family identify the person. So, you think Si Luan and I are blind idiots who can be easily deceived?!"
Ji Xiangli stared at him angrily and laid out the truth.
Jiang Yuanfeng didn't expect that this old man surnamed Ji actually understood some of the tricks.
Yes, he is not proficient in esoteric methods, but he is very good at understanding human nature and power struggles.
He watched Ji Xiangli vent his anger slowly and calmly, and just smiled calmly, "Father-in-law Ji, up to now, I still don't know what happened, and why did you come to me?"
"To just yell like that without any reason, this is not the style of the former Marquis Ji!"
At this moment, he just wanted to know whether Lu Xuan was dead or not.
Even if she didn't die and broke the spell, was she affected in any way? Was there anything strange about her?
As far as he knew, no one could break the Blood Soul Curse.
The ghost inside will pounce on her like a hungry wolf until all the life in her body is sucked out.
But judging from Ji Xiangli's excited expression, it seemed like his son was the victim.
I couldn't help but feel more curious about this matter.
Ji Xiangli knew that Jiang Yuanfeng was planning to calm himself down first and get to the bottom of the matter.
So, he snorted and told the story with a cold face.
"Si Luan came to you secretly to ask for the talisman without my knowledge, just to win the favor of that enchantress from the Duke's Mansion. This incident is indeed due to my poor parenting, which allowed him to fall under the spell of that enchantress. I had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure and come to you for help."
"But the talisman you gave Si Luan wasn't a talisman that could bring joy to people at all. It was a killing talisman that could drive away evil spirits! Am I right?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yuanfeng's brows furrowed and questions came out of his mouth.
"What about Lu Xuan? How is she?"
Seeing that he finally showed a hint of concern, Ji Xiangli couldn't help but sneer.
"She's fine. She's already returned to Prince Jin's Mansion and is continuing to be her princess!"
As he spoke, Ji Xiangli's expression changed, and he roared angrily, "But you know that the spell you cast is now targeting our Ji family!"
"The Ji Mansion is now haunted by a group of ghosts. From the master to the servants, everyone has been more or less affected by the ghosts you put in there."
"Even I was haunted by those ghosts last night and almost couldn't leave Si Luan's house!"
"Si Luan was beaten half to death, his hands and feet were almost broken, and within a day, half of his energy was sucked away by those creatures."
His hand trembled as he pointed at Jiang Yuanfeng, "You are completely heartless! You are going to make my Ji family extinct!"
