Chapter 779 Not letting go
Chapter 779 Not letting go
On the other side of the imperial city, a crash rang out in the room which was silent in the middle of the night. A woman who was dressed in a white robe with red pants and a sword in her hand looked at the bowl in front of her sombrely, she was called here by the imperial concubine Su to take care of some commoners which she thought was very simple but who would have thought that taking care of mere commoners who did not have special powers would be this difficult!
" What is the meaning of this?" Su Wan, who had gone through a ceremony and changed her name and identity which neither belonged to her past self nor did it belong to the predecessor of this body and was now called Su Yiqin looked at the shattered pieces of the porcelain bowl which was lying on the ground and looked at the woman whom she had called to take care of the five Lin brothers but who would have thought that before she could hear the joyous news of the death of those five brothers who wanted to ruin her, she would hear the sound of this bowl shattering into pieces?
The old woman who was called to perform the ritual pursed her lips, she was angry but at the same time, she could not do anything to this woman. She picked up the cinnabar wood sword and placed it back in its sheath before she turned to look at Imperial Concubine Su and then said in a heavy voice, " Did you not know that their fortune had undergone a sudden change? At this moment forget about me even a demon had to think twice before attacking them!"
Though it was true that the five Lin brothers' luck was not out of the ordinary but now their lives were no longer the same, what was, even more, it seemed that a few months ago they got an addition to their family which was blessed by the gods. With such a fortunate person beside them, she couldn't harm them or that woman who was their wife.
" Impossible!" Imperial Concubine Su immediately refused, those five men were just dirt poor beggars who could not even afford to have one wife each how can they even have the luck that defies the norm of the world?
" You might say that it is impossible but I am afraid that it is very possible," replied the old woman who was now picking up her tools which she used to perform rituals with, she pushed herself off the floor and then with a low bow added, " Imperial Concubine Su, need to start taking care of the things around herself instead of those men, I am afraid that with that blessing which exists next to them, you will not be able to harm them."
After she was done speaking, she turned on her heels and marched out of the room leaving Imperial Concubine Su flustered and annoyed.
Su Yiqin could not believe that even after so many trials and tribulations, she still could not wipe the biggest stain off her life. Only she knew how angry she was when she found out that she was sold by her father to five men, getting married to five men and serving them. What was the difference between her and a lowly woman who sold her body then?
She thought that as long as she died everything will be fine but not only there was someone else living in her body but she even married those five men causing her name to be ruined! More importantly, as long as that woman stays alive, the more the chances of her getting caught will be —— in case anyone found out that she was not the real Su Wan and started investigating… it would not take long that Imperial Concubine Su's body was being occupied by her.
Because even if she had tried to adapt to this life there were things that she could not change, she looked down at the brush which was being held by her fingers and wrote another letter to the special shadow guard she had sent to the Dong Tong town.
Su Yiqin had tried to change her writing but for some reason, she could not change her words at all, fortunately, she fell on her arm when the predecessor of this body died which was why everyone thought that her hand had suffered from major injuries causing her writing to be distorted but those who knew her… if they were to see these letters they will surely know that she was the real Su Wan!
No! She had to take care of that woman!
With that thought in her head, she turned to look at the shadow guard who was waiting for her order and then said, " Go and call another witch, make sure that this one is better than the one who just failed!"
Now that she knew that things like ghost, possession and every other thing was real, she decided that there was no need to dirty her hands any more. As long as that woman's five husbands were gone, taking care of that widowed and alone woman would be a piece of cake and since that woman likes to entertain men so much —— she will make sure that the woman was fully satisfied.

Lin Jing on the other hand brought the big python with him to the inn where they were staying, because he was slightly late, Lin Yan was already waiting for the two to return thus, he was the first to see the big python being carried by Lin Jing in his hands.
" This …what is this?" Lin Yan was shocked for a moment not knowing what to do.
Lin Jing on the other hand hurriedly said, " Bring some hot water and a bucket, I will take care of this thing."
Lin Yan listened to Lin Jing's orders and went inside to take care of the hot water and bucket but maybe because his expression was too flustered others came out to look at what was going on but when they saw such a big python they all were more than shocked.
