The guards had no choice but to search once more.

nanny entered the courtyard. She first found the figure of Nanny Zhang, then silently gestured to her from the corner of her mouth before walking towards An Lingge's house.

She did not leave with a quick glance like those guards. Instead, she rummaged through the things in the room bit by bit, not even letting go of the bed.

The nanny touched the bed, suddenly touching a bulge, her eyes flashed a dark light, she lifted the pillow, and sure enough, she found something underneath.

"We didn't find any thieves in Eldest Miss's courtyard, but we did find this one." nanny held a cloth doll, and stood in front of Madam Li with a solemn and respectful expression.

Madam Li was confused, "I told you to go in and search the thieves, what are you doing with this cloth doll? This belongs to Eldest Miss, hurry up and put it back. "

"Absolutely not." The nanny's face turned serious as she said to the Madam Li, "Madam has never seen this kind of doll, I don't know what's going on, but this cloth doll definitely can't be put back down!"

Her expression was too solemn, and her words carried a sense of mystery. The guards had already secretly moved their ears over to listen.

nanny turned the cloth doll upside down, revealing the terrifying long needles on its surface.

"This is a voodoo Gu doll!" Madam Li screamed, she then used a handkerchief to cover her mouth, looking left and right, she scolded An Lingge with a stern face, "Young miss, why do you need to hide a lich in your own house?"

"This is not mine." An Lingge's expression was light, not one bit panicked because of this child's appearance.

Madam Li sneered in her heart, but her expression was still solemn, "First Miss, please do not joke, this child was found in your house, if it is not yours, how can it be mine? You clearly know that the late emperor ordered for no such voodoo Gu to appear. How could you prepare a voodoo Gu doll in your own room? "

The previous emperor's favorite concubine had died because of the magic of the voodoo insect. It was said that when she died, she was extremely terrifying. The previous emperor was furious and ordered the Great Zhou Empire to never allow the magic of the voodoo Gu to appear again.

Now that this Lich Gu appeared in An Lingge's courtyard and was discovered in front of so many people, it was hard for her to escape this calamity.

Madam Li was extremely pleased in her heart, she did not have the time to carefully look at the word 'birthday' on the child, and only showed a look of heartache, "Young miss, you are still young and inexperienced, but you can't be so reckless! This matter is of great importance, I must leave it to the old lady. "

An Lingge raised her head, her expression cold and stubborn, "I already said, this is not mine, why does Aunt insist on framing me?"

"Eldest Miss, once you've done something wrong, you should correct it, not blindly decline." The Madam Li looked at her with a face full of regret. "Don't worry, this aunt will definitely not report this matter to the authorities. Don't worry, Eldest Miss will not lose her life because of this."

An Lingge opened her mouth, wanting to defend herself, but was completely unable to say a word.

Seeing her like this, Madam Li felt even more carefree in her heart.

"Eldest Miss, please follow me to the madame's courtyard so that I won't wrongly accuse you." Her words were soft, but her attitude was firm.

An Lingge's face turned pale white, as though she was afraid. However, she still followed Madam Li to the Old Mistress' courtyard.

The old lady had only rested for a short while and after resting for about fifteen minutes, she was woken up by Madam Li. She then frowned in displeasure, "What business do you have now?"

Because of the incident where the Madam Li had beaten An Lingxue, the Old Mistress' disgust towards her had risen to a new level. At this moment, when she saw the Madam Li, her heart was filled with impatience and she felt that she was just a person who was affected.

Madam Li knew that the Old Mistress was not happy with her, but she didn't care about it at this time. She brought the cloth doll in her hand to her face and straightened her expression, "Old Mistress, please look at what this is?"

The old mistress scrutinized the child and her expression changed. "Where did you get this thing from? Quickly throw it away!"

She was old, and had experienced the late emperor's time. Naturally, she knew how many people were killed when the art of the voodoo Gu was prevalent, and how much the late emperor hated the art of the voodoo Gu.

Madam Li brought the voodoo Gu doll in front of her, causing the old lady to feel fear and trepidation.

"Madame, I've come to find you to discuss this matter." The Madam Li lowered her voice, "This child was found in young miss's house. I didn't dare reveal it to the world, so I hurriedly came over to find you to make a decision."

She told the old lady about the guards discovering the thief and how they chased him to the Parasol House. Then, she told the old lady about the matter of the nanny discovering the voodoo Gu Master.

"I saw the words' birthday 'on it. It seems like it belongs to the madame. That's why I called for Eldest Miss to explain it to you personally."

The madame's face darkened even more. It was one thing for a voodoo doll to be found in the mansion, but the word 'birthdate' on it was hers. Wasn't there someone trying to harm her in this way?

She reached out and took the Lich Gu from Madam Li's hands, a pair of aged eyes carrying a sharp light, passed through An Lingge's body.

"Eldest girl, tell me what happened?"

The madame pointed at the voodoo doll in her hands. Her expression was not very pretty, but it did not directly incriminate her.

An Lingge's bright eyes looked at the Lich Gu doll, "Grandmother, even Little Ge doesn't know what's going on. It's impossible for such a thing to appear in my house. But today, my aunt let someone barge into my courtyard. I don't know where she found this voodoo doll, but she insisted that Little Ge hid it inside her own house. Please enlighten me, grandmother. "

The old mistress frowned upon hearing her words. The reason the Madam Li had sent people to barge into An Lingge's courtyard was already forced, and now that they found the lich Gu, it was truly too much of a coincidence.

Madam Li saw the old lady frown and immediately said, "The young miss said that this child is not hers, could it be that I can hide this child inside? nanny Wang said that this was found under Eldest Miss's pillow. If someone else placed this inside, could Eldest Miss have not discovered it? "

She asked every single word, wanting to throw An Lingge into an unfilial and unfilial situation, yet An Lingge remained fearless. Looking at the malicious eyes of the Madam Li, he said in a clear voice, "My courtyard is not clean, and it's not like I don't know anything. If I send someone to stuff something into my courtyard while I'm out today, it's not impossible."

An Lingge looked at Old Madem Xiang again, her face had a look of doubt, "I went to visit Second Sister today, and not even an hour later, when I returned, I met Aunt sending people to break into my courtyard. Isn't that too much of a coincidence?"
