Chapter 85: Blocking and Borrowing Life
Mrs. Dou couldn't find the amulet and her face turned pale with anxiety. She looked in the direction Xie Lan was looking.

"The treasure bag contains a lucky charm."

Xie Lan frowned and took another look, "Can I take a look?"

"Of course." Although he didn't know why Xie Lan was curious, Dou Qian still raised his hand to take the brocade bag from the hook and handed it over.

Xie Lan didn't hesitate and directly opened the brocade bag and took out the talisman paper inside.

Seeing that she looked unhappy, Dou Qian and his wife asked in unison, "But what's wrong with this amulet?"

Xie Lan didn't say anything. He turned the talisman paper over and over twice, then opened it. After a long while, he frowned and said, "There's nothing wrong with this talisman paper."

Mrs. Dou breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this.

Dou Qian noticed something was wrong. Xie Lan said there was nothing wrong with the talisman paper, but her brows were still furrowed.

"Thank you, Miss. If you have anything else to say, please speak up."

Being able to become the commander of the military department, it seems that Dou Qian is not stupid.

"There is nothing wrong with this amulet, but it is useless. However, this brocade bag is stained with evil spirits."

Madam Dou was suddenly furious, "Miss Xie, was my son harmed by this brocade bag?"

Xie Lan shook his head, "No, but the evil spirit above also affects him. It's better not to die."

Although the anger on Mrs. Dou's face had dissipated a little, it was obvious that she was still very angry.

"Where did you get this treasure bag?"

Dou Qian's face didn't look very good either. Ever since his son fell ill, the doctors and imperial physicians were helpless, so his wife went everywhere to pray to gods and Buddhas.

Just as he was wondering which temple would dare to sell this harmful thing, he did not expect Madam Dou to stare at him and grit her teeth and say, "Why are you pretending to be stupid? I don't believe you can't see that this is Sun's needlework."

Dou Qian was stunned. Madam Dou had asked for countless amulets in the past few months, but he did not believe that these things were useful, so how could he pay attention to them?

However, after looking down for a few more times, he found that the stitches and threads on the brocade bag did look like they were made by Sun.

"This... could there be some misunderstanding? Sun has always been very good to Jing Ge'er, how could she harm him?"

Mrs. Dou did not refute. Although Sun was a concubine, she was indeed good to her son.

Xie Lan glanced at them without commenting, then turned around and looked around the room again.

Dou Qian and his wife thought she was looking for a talisman, so they immediately called in the wet nurse and maid who were serving Jing'er.

"Have you two seen the amulet on Jing'er's body?"

Both of them shook their heads.

Madam Dou called other maids and asked them all, but still got no result.

Xie Lan walked around the inner room and suddenly pointed at the bed where Jing Ge'er slept. "Master Dou, please move this bed out."

"Okay." Dou Qian didn't know what she was going to do, so he walked forward and lifted the bunk bed and moved it a few inches outward. There was just enough space between the bed and the wall to accommodate one person.

"It is indeed here."

Dou Qian thought Xie Lan had found the missing amulet, but unexpectedly it was a small treasure bag.

"Hey, where did this treasure bag come from?"

Dou Qian was stunned. "Didn't you put the amulet in this brocade bag?"

Madam Dou glared at him angrily, "Of course not. Even if I put the amulet in a brocade bag, I wouldn't stuff it into the crack."

Xie Lan ignored the couple and directly opened the brocade bag and took out the contents.

There was a piece of yellow talisman paper in the brocade bag. After Xie Lan unfolded it and saw the words written on it, Madam Dou was stunned, "What is this? Why is it written with An Ge'er's name and the time of birth?"

Dou Qian's face also looked unhappy. This brocade bag was hidden so secretly, and it was obvious that this talisman paper was not a good thing.

Xie Lan raised his head and looked directly at Dou Qian. "Your bastard An Ge'er, was he always sick before? Has he started to get better since Jing Ge'er was born?"

Dou Qian was puzzled, "How do you know?"

Xie Lan raised the talisman in his hand and said, "This is a talisman to ward off disasters. Do you see the blood on it? This is the blood of your legitimate son Jing Ge'er.

Write the time and eight characters on this talisman, and drip blood on it, and your legitimate son can protect the illegitimate son from disaster."

Madam Dou was so angry that her chest rose and fell violently, "No wonder An Ge'er always had troubles before, he has gotten better since Jing Ge'er was born.

I didn't expect that it was that bitch Sun who killed my son. I will definitely kill her."

Dou Qian frowned so hard that a fly could be pinched to death. "Sun has always behaved in a proper manner and treats Jing Ge'er no worse than you, his biological mother. Could there be some misunderstanding?"

Mrs. Dou was angry that Dou Qian defended Sun, but what he said was not wrong. Not to mention that she did not believe that Sun would harm Jing'er, even before, she had never doubted Sun.

After she married Dou Qian, she was injured when giving birth to her daughter and had no pregnancy for several years. Seeing that she could not get pregnant, she was worried that the Dou family would be extinct, so she decided to take a concubine for her husband.

When Sun first came into the family, she didn't like her.

But Sun was always well-behaved in front of her and never fought or competed. Even after she gave birth to a pair of children, she was still respectful to her and came to her every day to greet her and set rules, without any change.

The most important thing is that Sun always acted very cold towards Dou Qian. She liked to do needlework, but she never made clothes for Dou Qian. However, she made a lot of clothes, shoes and socks for her, the main wife, all year round.

She was also very good to her two children, especially Jing'er. Whenever Sun made clothes, shoes and socks for her son An'er, she would also make a set for him.

Although An'er was the eldest son, Jing'er was the legitimate son, and Sun never favored her son.

Every time I made clothes, shoes and socks for Jingger, no matter the fabric or style, they were better than those for Angger.

Moreover, she knew that she was a concubine and was afraid that she would misunderstand, so she never sent her food or anything like that.

Ever since Jing'er fell ill, Sun had been helping him to find doctors everywhere and pray to gods and Buddhas for amulets. She cared more about him than her, his own mother.

I didn't expect that there was an ulterior motive behind all this.

Fortunately, she saw that Sun was doing her duty, did not compete for her favor, and was good to the children.

She also tried her best to treat her and her two children well, and never forgot to give a portion of good things to the three of them.

Ever since An'ger's condition improved, Sun always said that Jing'er was a lucky star and that An'ger's condition improved because of his blessing.

She was so foolish that she actually believed it, but she didn't expect that he was using her Jing Ge'er to ward off disaster for her son.

Xie Lan didn't want to care about the Dou family's private affairs, she was only responsible for saving people.

He asked Madam Dou's maid to find a fire starter and burn the talisman, and Xie Lan then cast a spell to break the spell cast by the other party.

Although Madam Dou wanted to kill Sun immediately, she knew saving her son was the most important thing. "Miss Xie, if I destroy this talisman paper, will my son be cured?"

Xie Lan shook his head. "Not yet. Your son's life is still being borrowed. We need to find the life-borrowing talisman paper, destroy it, and remove the spell that borrows his life. Only then will he wake up."

Madam Dou's body swayed, "My son's life is being borrowed? Damn it, Sun!"
