After Being Reborn, I Tortured The Vicious Sister-in-law-Chapter 416 - Found the Straw Doll
416 Found the Straw Doll
While Shen Jian and the housekeeper were looking for the commoners, Su Meng took out talismans, incense burners, and other things from her bag and started preparing.
“Can you really do it? Can you really save my dad?” Father Wei still didn’t believe Su Meng. He watched from the side and asked her a few questions from time to time.
Su Meng knew what he was worried about, so she was surprisingly patient. Every time Father Wei suspected her, she would answer him with certainty, “Don’t worry, I can definitely save Grandpa.”
However, things seemed to be worse than Su Meng had expected. She had already finished her preparations, but there was still no news from Shen Jian. After waiting for a few more minutes, Shen Jian called again.
“Boss, we didn’t find any straw dolls! Then what do we do?” Shen Jian’s anxious voice came from the phone.
“You didn’t miss any place? Have you searched everywhere?” Su Meng asked.
“We didn’t even let go of the soil,” Shen Jian said, “Could it be that we didn’t dig deep enough?”
Su Meng fell silent. She tried to figure out what the problem was.
Shen Jian was anxious, but he didn’t rush Su Meng since she didn’t say anything. He just waited quietly, urging the servants to continue searching.
On the other hand, Father Wei saw that Su Meng was holding her phone and not speaking. He suddenly became anxious and urged, “Didn’t you say you could do it? Why aren’t you talking? Can you do it?”
He kept nagging at her. Su Meng never knew that Father Wei was so talkative. He was so noisy that she couldn’t think in peace. She could not help but warn him coldly, “Shut up, and don’t disturb me!”
Father Wei, “…”
As his daughter-in-law, Su Meng dared to speak to him like that. Father Wei’s anger rose immediately. He wanted to scold Su Meng. But just as he was about to open his mouth, he saw Su Meng’s cold gaze and swallowed the words that were already in his throat.
Su Meng was completely different from the yes-man she used to be in the Wei family. It was as if she had become a different person.
Su Meng could finally think in peace after Father Wei stopped disturbing her. She thought for a while and suddenly thought of a place that no one should know about.
“Shen Jian, have you searched Grandpa’s basement?” Su Meng asked.
“Basement? We’ve searched the basement, but there’s nothing there other than the goods.”
“I’m talking about the one that enters from Grandpa’s room. I’ll tell you how to get in.” Su Meng told Shen Jian about Grandfather Wei’s basement and asked him to look for him there.
After a while, Shen Jian called again. He shouted excitedly, “Boss, I found the straw doll. It’s in the pool in the basement!”
“Yes.” Su Meng answered and continued to ask, “How’s the fish over there?”
“Fish?” Shen Jian paused for a moment, then she heard him say, “There were two fish, but they’re both dead.”
As Su Meng had expected, someone had destroyed the array and used the straw doll as a guide to cause the side effects to hit Grandfather Wei. However, to do that, a human life was needed. Could it be that the missing servant? Was it a human?
Su Meng had a bad feeling. She had a rough idea, but who did this?
The most important thing now was to cure Grandfather Wei. Su Meng put aside her doubts and started to solve the spell.
She did not end the call with Shen Jian. She still needed his help.
“Shen Jian, after I’m done here, immediately burn that straw doll. Then, tell the servant to buy two more fish that look the same and put them in the pond like this,” Su Meng said.
“Alright,” he said.
When everything was ready, Su Meng made a small cut on Grandfather Wei’s finger and dripped her blood onto the cinnabar pen. She then mixed the blood with the cinnabar and drew a spell on the talisman paper.
After she was done, Su Meng cut off a strand of Grandfather Wei’s hair and wrapped it in a talisman before burning it in a small incense burner. After that, Su Meng said to Shen Jian, “It’s done, burn it.”
On the other end of the phone, Shen Jian followed Su Meng’s instructions and burned the straw man. After burning them, he placed the two carp bought by the servants into the pond.
“It’s done.” When they were all done, Grandfather Wei moved his hand.
Father Wei, who had been staring at Grandfather Wei, stood up immediately and said excitedly, “Alright, alright! He’s moving!”
Su Meng looked at Grandfather Wei when she heard what Father Wei said. Grandfather Wei’s fingers twitched and his eyes slowly opened.
“Doctor, the patient is awake. Come quickly! Father Wei pressed the button beside the bed and started calling for the doctor.
