Miss Li spat fiercely. She wanted to take Jiang Shang away and shut her up, but the next second, she was suddenly knocked aside by Mrs. Lin.
Miss Li: ??
Mrs. Lin grabbed Jiang Shang tightly, on the verge of tears. "Master, please save my son!"
Mr. Lin sighed softly and pulled her up. "Wife, don't get so excited."
After so many attempts, they had always hoped but ended up disappointed.
Jiang Shang helped the woman up. "Duoduo was cursed by someone close to him. The life - swap curse requires collecting the other person's hair, blood, and birth details to take effect. If the life - swap target is a minor, the binding won't be completely successful until they reach adulthood."
As soon as Jiang Shang finished speaking, Aunt Huang's shoulders suddenly trembled.
Mr. Lin couldn't help but curse angrily. "Duoduo is such a lovely child. Who is so vicious as to harm him!"
It was definitely not the Lin family. So it must be an outsider.
Jiang Shang gave a hint. "You can recall which family had someone who suddenly recovered from a serious illness. Maybe that's the culprit."
The maids and servants watching nearby began to whisper among themselves. What kind of bad luck had befallen the Lin family that such a good child had his fate stolen.
One maid thought for a moment and suddenly said, "Aunt Huang, didn't your mentally - disabled son suddenly get better a few years ago?"
Aunt Huang's face changed drastically, and she immediately retorted, "What are you talking nonsense about? My son got better because I found a divine doctor. And I also asked that divine doctor to see the young master. What does this have to do with these evil arts!"
Mrs. Lin recalled that there had indeed been such an incident.
Seeing that Mrs. Lin believed her words, Aunt Huang quickly complained aggrievedly, "Madam, Sir, I've been taking care of the young master since he was born. Even if I don't have merits, I've put in a lot of hard work. You can't slander me like this!"
Jiang Shang looked at Aunt Huang. "The line of descendants in your life palace is broken. Your husband has difficulty having children. You shouldn't have had a child, but you did in - vitro fertilization and got a boy by force. That boy was born with defects."
As soon as these words were spoken, the maids who were familiar with Aunt Huang started to talk even louder. Jiang Shang was exactly right.
The Lin couple's gazes at Aunt Huang turned cold. Mrs. Lin hugged the child tightly in her arms.
Aunt Huang glared at Jiang Shang angrily. "If you don't believe me, I can call the divine doctor here!"
Miss Li protected Aunt Huang behind her. "Jiang Shang, you're slandering an aunt who has worked hard for more than ten years just for money. What's your intention?"
Maybe this bitch really had some skills, but how could she let her succeed?
She had invited her out to teach her a lesson, not to let her add to her achievements!
Jiang Shang looked calm, and her words caused an uproar.
"The divine doctor you mentioned is the one who cursed Duoduo."
Aunt Huang was completely panicked inside, but she still pretended to be calm and questioned her. "You have no evidence at all. Isn't this just slander?"
Aunt Huang looked back at the Lin couple, almost in tears. "I know that Madam and Sir are eager to save the young master, but I've been loyal to the Lin family. How can you let this little girl slander me and make me take the blame?"
Jiang Shang turned to ask the butler to check the information about her son. Miss Li still wanted to stop them, but Mrs. Lin was annoyed and simply kicked her out.
Jiang Shang sat down on the spot, took out two talismans, and sat cross - legged to calculate.
After a while, under the nervous gazes of the Lin couple, she slowly opened her eyes and pointed to the backyard outside the window. "This evil art requires placing voodoo dolls of the two people having their lives swapped in a cool and shady place. What she placed is in the backyard."
Aunt Huang lost all her color. Her eyes instantly showed panic, and her hands trembled uncontrollably.
The butler led people to dig in the backyard. Soon, they brought back an old purple box covered in mud.
The box was covered with strange patterns that made people shiver.
When the purple box was opened, a black light shot out. Sure enough, there were two blood - stained puppet dolls inside. A thick needle was stuck in the head of the doll with Duoduo's birth details engraved on it.
Jiang Shang examined it for a while. "The birth details of her son and Duoduo are in harmony with yin and yang. The success rate of the life - swap is very high."
Mr. Lin's eyes widened in shock, and the maids let out exclamations of disbelief.
Most people didn't believe in witchcraft. Who would have thought that the kind - looking Aunt Huang would secretly use witchcraft to swap her child's fate, even willing to turn the young master of the Lin family into a mentally - disabled child!
Mrs. Lin covered Duoduo's eyes and asked the maid to take him back to his room.
As soon as the child left, a loud slap landed on Aunt Huang's face.
"You poisonous woman! Your child is a child, but isn't mine?!"
Mrs. Lin grabbed her hair and started to fight with her.
She had treated her like a family member, but this poisonous woman had watched her suffer because of her child's illness for more than ten years!
Mr. Lin was stunned. He had never seen his wife like this before.
This noble lady, who was usually gentle and virtuous and would always reason even in conflicts, had now become a real shrew for the sake of her child, regardless of her image.
Aunt Huang wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. She didn't expect that her flawless plan would be exposed by a girl. So she simply stopped pretending.
She opened and closed her mouth, and the words she said were like curses from hell:
"Do whatever you want to me. The life - swap has already succeeded. My son will inherit your son's wealth and longevity in the future and live like a normal person."
"And Duoduo, let him replace my son and live in childhood forever!"
Mrs. Lin completely lost control and wished she could kill her. Mr. Lin clenched his fists, his eyes blood - red.
This man, who had been in the business world for so many years, shed tears because of his child.
He almost pleaded with Jiang Shang. "Shangshang, is there still a way to save him? I'm willing to give all my wealth and even my life for Duoduo."
Jiang Shang thought for a while and spoke up amidst Aunt Huang's proud laughter.
"Of course there is. The life - swap hasn't been completely successful yet."
"Her son will officially come of age this week. Before he reaches adulthood, as long as we find her son and destroy the contract,
there's a chance to get back that bit of intelligence and swap the fates back."
Aunt Huang laughed wildly. "My son is about to go abroad. You'll never find him!"
Mrs. Lin was completely enraged. "Bitch!"
"Lock her up. Don't let her out without my order!"
"Really?"
Jiang Shang asked rhetorically in a thought - provoking way and threw the evil puppet of her son into the ashtray.
Then, she closed her eyes and seriously whispered the incantation:
"Heaven and earth are mysterious and yellow. The nine - day stars. Suppress demons and evil. Obey my order. Destroy!"
Jiang Shang put her hands together and pushed them out. The moment she opened her eyes, a powerful righteousness rushed out from her palms and turned into divine fire, fiercely burning the puppet.
Aunt Huang immediately panicked and desperately tried to stop her. "Stop! Don't touch my son!"
If the puppet engraved with the birth details was destroyed, the person would also suffer a backlash.
The fate stolen by evil arts was inherently fragile. If the body suffered a backlash before the swap was completely successful, the contract would also be damaged.
If she still wanted the life - swap to succeed, her son would definitely show up to save his life.
In a high - school classroom dozens of kilometers away, a male high - school student suddenly spat out a mouthful of bright red blood and then fell unconscious on his desk.
The maid staggered down the stairs in a panic. "Madam, Sir, the young master has suddenly fainted!"
The Lin couple rushed to check. Duoduo was lying on the ground quietly as if he was sleeping. There seemed to be no major problem at first glance.
Mrs. Lin nervously checked him all over. Only the jade pendant around his neck was broken into two halves.
Mr. Lin picked it up in disbelief and examined it for a long time, trying to find any hidden mechanism on it.
"This is an inevitable result of the contract being interrupted. Duoduo is fine." Jiang Shang explained.
The two of them heaved a sigh of relief. Mr. Lin immediately asked the butler to lead people to control Aunt Huang's son. Then he asked her respectfully:
"Master Jiang, what should we do now?"
They had seen Jiang Shang's strength with their own eyes. There was no doubt about her abilities.
A confident smile played on Jiang Shang's lips.
"Set a trap for the enemy, and prepare the things to remove the curse for me."
