Black Lotus Concubine's Case-solving Notes

[Ding, you have triggered a hidden task]

[Task name: Meng's killing. You are imprisoned in Xie's house. Meng holds a grudge against you, and other people in the house have their own ulterior motives. Please find the key evidence to get out of the current predicament.]

[Warm Tips: There are many ways to get out of trouble. Please consider carefully. The system will give rewards according to the host's way of getting out of trouble. ]

[Non-mandatory task, no survival countdown. ]

【Do you choose to accept the task? 】

After such a long time, the system finally issued the task, and Feng Jia immediately clicked to accept.

In this round, if she couldn't get through, she would be dead. However, after accepting the mission, she could get experience points and props as rewards, so it was naturally worthwhile to accept it.

The small blue bar disappeared, and then the movements of the people around him, which were infinitely slowed down, began to change, and time resumed flowing.

Feng Jia then said, "Mother wants to force me to death today. Zhao'er has no complaints, but I don't want to die in such an unclear way. Can you let me ask a few more questions before I die?"

Meng snorted coldly: "You are about to die, and you still want to deceive people with lies? Catch him!"

"Wait!"

Meng turned her head and shouted unwillingly: "Old Lady, are you going to be merciful? If this evildoer is not eliminated, who knows who will suffer next!"

She was almost there, she couldn't let it go to waste, Xie Lanzhao would die today! Fearing something unexpected might happen, Meng immediately said, "Who knows who will be the next victim, maybe it's me, maybe it's the Prime Minister..."

"That's enough, in the headmaster's room," the old lady waved her hand in annoyance, "After all, there's still time for this little girl to ask a few questions."

"Thank you, Grandmother." Feng Jia bowed to the old lady, and then asked, "Since the Taoist priest said that I am a demon, then I would like to ask you, how did you know that? Was it the compass in your hand that told you, or the talisman that told you, or was it someone in this mansion who told you that?"

The old Taoist priest smiled confidently: "Of course it was your destiny that told me!"

Feng Jia blinked, looking as if he understood, "Everyone says that one can know what happened to a person before and after his death by observing his destiny. It sounds so magical, but what exactly is destiny? I think it's just empty talk from you, Taoist priest. I'm afraid you yourself can't explain it."

The old Taoist gritted his teeth and said, "Evil spirit, even when death is imminent, I am not afraid to tell you that this fortune-telling is to look at your face and calculate your birth date!"

"In other words, Taoist priest, you calculated my birth date and concluded that I am the reincarnation of the evil dragon?"

"Not bad!"

Feng Jia looked at him and said word by word: "Then please tell me, Taoist priest, what is the birth date and eight characters you calculated!"

The Taoist priest smiled slightly, as if he had expected her to ask this question. He straightened his chest and read out, "You were born on the fifth day of the fifth month of the Kui Ren year, at 2:02 pm. You were born with a strong fire element. Your eight characters are too strong, and the five elements are unbalanced. You have brought disaster to your parents and siblings! You are the incarnation of an evil dragon, and you have a very bad fate!"

When these words were spoken, everyone's faces were filled with astonishment.

Feng Jia smiled slightly and said, "Then may I ask, Taoist priest, if I were born on July 16th of the year of Kuiyou, at the hour of Zi, what would my fate be like?"

The Taoist priest pretended to count with his fingers: "The five elements belong to gold, which means that wealth will come in abundance, and it is a sign of prosperity and wealth. With the support of water and soil, it is a fate that will soar to the sky and be indescribably noble!"

In the crowd, Xie Yunyao, who was wearing a pink dress, took a step back, her face as pale as paper.

"Father, grandmother, please make the decision for Zhao'er!" Feng Jia knelt down on his knees.

Xie Qian frowned and said nothing.

The old lady's face was stern, "Master, you said that the monster was born on the fifth day of the fifth month of the Kui Ren year, at 2:30 pm?"

The old Taoist priest finally felt something strange. He subconsciously looked in the direction of the first lady Meng, only to see Meng's face full of anger, and he couldn't help but feel frightened.

Did he say something wrong?

However, the date of Xie Lanzhao's birth written on the note handed over by Xia Chan beside the eldest lady was indeed the fifth day of the fifth month of the Kui Ren year. What went wrong?

Feng Jia turned around and said to the old Taoist priest, "Master, my grandmother is asking you a question, why don't you answer?"

There was a hint of hesitation in the Taoist's eyes: "I..."

"Master, what are you looking at my mother for?"

"No..." The Taoist priest suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and even dared not to look Feng Jia in the eye.

Feng Jia smiled and said, "Since you don't have one, then answer! Is the evildoer's birthday the Kui Ren year as you said, Taoist priest?"

"This..." The old Taoist priest felt guilty.

"Master, please think it over before you speak. If not, then you have calculated it wrong. Is it wrong or do you simply not have the ability to calculate?"

"If you admit that you are wrong, it means you admit that those things about the Queen's fate and the imbalance of the five elements were all fabricated by you! Taoist priest, do you know the consequences of deceiving the Prime Minister? They will lead to being sent to the prison and having their tongues cut out!"

The old Taoist priest shuddered: "No! No no no! That evildoer is the fifth day of the fifth month of the Kui Ren year!"

There was an uproar.

The fifth day of the fifth month of the Kui Ren year, that was not the Ninth Miss’ birthday, but the birthday of Xie Yunyao, the eldest daughter of the first wife and Mrs. Meng’s precious daughter!

And the invaluable fate that the Taoist priest just mentioned is actually Ninth Girl’s!

Could it be that this big monster is not the Ninth Miss, but the Fifth Miss who has been living in the mansion?

Thinking of the fact that her daughter's life had been suppressed by Xie Yunyao for more than ten years, Tan was the first to lose control. She pointed at Meng and said, "Sister-in-law! Why don't you explain yourself?"

"What's there to explain?" Meng felt guilty. She still couldn't understand why the birth date and horoscope became her Yao'er's and not that bitch's!

Feng Jia bit her lip and said with a heartbroken look: "Fourth Aunt, do I need to explain this? Everything is in front of me. It's not me who has affected the fate of the family, caused the old lady to get sick, and caused unrest in the family. It's Sister Yunyao!"

"What nonsense are you talking about! Someone come! Tear her mouth apart for me!" Meng was furious and was about to rush forward.

"Mother! With such irrefutable evidence before us, are you still going to cover up for Sister Yunyao?"

Feng Jia's face showed a miserable expression. "Zhao'er didn't want to suspect anything at first, but mother was so nervous that I had to wonder, why was it Lan Zhao who was sent to Shicheng when the dragon snake was clearly sister Yunyao's reincarnation? Just because Lan Zhao was a concubine's daughter, mother secretly made me sister Yunyao's scapegoat. Just because Lan Zhao was my aunt's child, mother could let me suffer in Shicheng safely, and even instigated Wang's mother-in-law to abuse me! But you didn't expect that I would escape death and return to the capital, and this Taoist priest with profound magical powers would expose you in public!"

"Mother, you have such a cruel heart!"

Everyone's attention was once again focused on Meng.

Meng's eyes were filled with venom: "Xie Lanzhao, how dare you slander my stepmother!"

"Is it really slander, mother?" Feng Jia said slowly, "There were rumors in the mansion before that the strange things that happened in the Xie Mansion in the past few months were all caused by me, but why don't you think about it carefully? I am a girl who just returned to the mansion. Is it really related to me?"

"Sister Chang Rong didn't like me. When I entered the mansion, she called me a beggar and was very dependent on Sister Yun Yao. Nanny Liu pushed me into the water and committed suicide out of fear of punishment. I was the victim, but Nanny Liu was my mother's dowry and Sister Yun Yao's wet nurse..."

"Speaking of Sixth Brother, his right hand was cut off by the servants, but Sixth Brother has never liked me and called me a lowly concubine's daughter. But he and Sister Yunyao are from the same mother!"

Feng Jia stopped talking here and sobbed, "Everything of this is obviously related to Sister Yunyao. Mother, thirteen years ago I went to Shicheng to suffer for Sister Yunyao. Why are you still so cruel today? Do you want me to die for your own daughter?"

A chill rose from the soles of her feet and spread throughout Meng's limbs. In this round, she originally wanted to put Xie Lanzhao, the concubine's daughter, to death, but why did things turn out like this?
