The Liu Mansion.
Liu Yushu stood at the moon gate in shock, unable to believe her eyes.
Talismans were plastered all over her courtyard and rooms. A Taoist priest was setting up an altar in her courtyard to perform exorcism rituals. The courtyard was filled with thick smoke and stank.
"How dare you mess around in the young lady's courtyard! Get out of here!" Zuitao shouted indignantly. She stepped forward and kicked over the small tripod burning yellow papers.
Seeing this, the Taoist priest sternly said, "Bold demons! How dare you destroy the exorcism artifact! I think both of you are possessed by evil spirits. You must be exorcised immediately."
"You're the one possessed by evil spirits! You barged into our young lady's courtyard without permission. Do you know how serious a crime you've committed?" Zuitao continued scolding the Taoist priest.
"Come on, tie up these two people possessed by evil spirits!" a crisp voice sounded from behind. Liu Yushu turned around and saw it was Concubine Sun.
Concubine Sun led a group of people into the courtyard. Among them was Mu Chan. Mu Chan gave her a look, seemingly hinting at her to run away quickly.
When she went out this morning, she was still wondering why Mu Chan sent her a message asking her to come back later. It turned out that Concubine Sun had planned it all along. As soon as she left, Concubine Sun came to her courtyard to cause trouble. When she came back, they would find an excuse to tie her up.
Several servants immediately surrounded Liu Yushu and grabbed her arms to subdue her. She had been caught in the rain today and was already feeling dizzy and unwell. She was too weak to resist and could only let the servants tie her to a tree with a hemp rope.
Zuitao was shouting all the time, but it was useless. She was even gagged.
"How dare you!" Liu Yushu felt dizzy, but no matter how uncomfortable she was, she refused to submit to Concubine Sun.
Concubine Sun curled her lips into a malicious smile. "Yushu, you're possessed by evil spirits and talking nonsense. I think the master should exorcise you properly to get rid of the evil in you." Looking at the Taoist priest, she asked, "Master, how can we kill the evil spirits in Yushu?"
The Taoist priest sized up Liu Yushu from head to toe with a lewd and sinister smile. "It's simple. Miss Yushu is possessed by evil spirits because she has too much yin energy in her body. If yang energy enters her body, the evil spirits will naturally vanish into thin air."
Concubine Sun immediately nodded in agreement. "Then may I ask, master, how can we infuse yang energy into Yushu's body?"
"It's simple. I consider myself to have a high level of cultivation. I've been practicing Taoism for more than fifty years and have killed countless demons and ghosts. I have accumulated the most yang and righteous energy in my body over the years, which can expel the evil spirits from Miss Yushu's body." The lewd smile on the Taoist priest's face deepened. His greasy and lecherous eyes wandered over Liu Yushu's body and face, making her feel uncomfortable and angry. She wished she could kill this lecherous Taoist priest right away.
"However, the process of infusing yang energy can't be rushed. We need to take it slowly. One night should be enough," the Taoist priest said to Concubine Sun.
Concubine Sun glanced at the Taoist priest and showed a sinister smile of success on her lips. "Okay, then please take your time, master. There's no hurry." She gave a look to her personal maid, Zhen Xia. Zhen Xia waved her hand, and the servants laid Liu Yushu on the ground. Her back was pressed against the cold and hard ground, and she could feel the gravel digging into her back. The servants were also very rough, and she felt as if her back was about to be scratched. "Let me go! How dare you! I will never forgive you!"
At the moment, she was really like a fish on the chopping board, unable to resist and could only be at the mercy of others.
Concubine Sun laughed softly. "Master, the room is too messy. Please infuse yang energy into Yushu in the courtyard. We can also watch from the side to see how the evil spirits vanish into thin air." Zhen Xia moved a chair over. After Concubine Sun sat down, she looked down at Liu Yushu on the ground with a haughty expression.
"No, don't!" Tears welled up in her eyes involuntarily. At this moment, Liu Yushu wished she could die immediately.
She didn't want to be humiliated in public. Absolutely not!
Liu Yushu was firmly pressed to the ground. She gritted her teeth and struggled desperately. Her clothes were covered in dirt, and she looked extremely embarrassed.
She felt that her dignity had been completely shattered, while the people who insulted her were leisurely drinking tea and watching coldly at the moment.
Tears couldn't stop flowing. She glared at the lecherous Taoist priest with blurred vision. The Taoist priest had gray hair, a sallow and emaciated face, and a mouthful of uneven yellow teeth, which was very disgusting. His matchstick-like hands with age spots brushed across her delicate cheeks. This sharp touch made her shiver involuntarily. She felt nauseous and angrily shouted, "Get away! Don't touch me!"
"You, this evil spirit, have quite a temper. Wait until I infuse yang energy into your body, and you won't be so crazy," the lecherous Taoist priest said as he loosened his robe, squinted his eyes, and licked his lips. "I'll send you to heaven right now."
No, don't! Who could come and save her? Liu Yushu prayed in her heart. If she really lost her innocence like this, she would rather die.
