Tang Dynasty Puppet Doctor

Chapter 124: Testimony, Prophecy
Descendants of Ming Chongyan?

As everyone knows, Ming Chongyan is proficient in Taoism and has a good command of ghosts and gods. Even the emperor and empress at that time admired him very much. When Emperor Gaozong heard of his name, he set up three levels to test whether Ming Chongyan was as powerful as the rumors said. Ming Chongyan could answer all the questions one by one, and from then on no one dared to question his witchcraft and physiognomy.

Anyone who can be Ming Chongyan’s disciple must have certain abilities, right?
The guests in the wedding hall began to hesitate and become afraid.

Mrs. Cui's expression was complicated and filled with grief and indignation, as she recalled that if it weren't for Ming Chongyan's words, she would not have abandoned her daughter.

"Even if she's a disciple of Ming Chongyan, you shouldn't be talking nonsense like that and wrongly accusing this miraculous doctor!" Wang Wuniang couldn't help but stand up and argue. "This young lady not only cured me and Madam Xie's illness, but she also recently cured Madam Cui's heart disease. If you really say she has something, then she can only be the reincarnation of a lucky star. How can you allow her to slander you like this?"

As she spoke, Madam Xie and Xie Zi'e, who had come to watch the ceremony, also stood up and agreed.

Madam Cui moved her lips and said, "Yes, this little girl is very smart and kind. She really cured my illness."

Lu Shiyilang stood up in indignation, rushed forward and grabbed the old Taoist priest's beard, saying directly: "The stinking Taoist priest is spreading evil words to confuse the people. If we don't kill him now, when will we kill him?"

"You can't kill me. If you do, you'll be punished by the gods! I can talk to ghosts and gods, and I have evidence to prove she's the incarnation of a demon!"

At this time, Xiao Muchen didn't want to listen to his nonsense at all, so he ordered Xuan Yu to step forward and planned to take the Taoist priest out and deal with him quietly.

But at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded: "Since he said he has evidence, why not let this real person continue speaking?"

Xiao Muchen's expression suddenly froze as he looked at the woman with her hair in a bun and gorgeous clothes, Cui Yuan, who was walking in with her head held high.

It's this woman again!

"I didn't invite you to my wedding, why are you here?" Xiao Muchen said coldly.

Cui Yuan's lips twitched slightly as she said, "Marriage is a major event in life, Zicheng. After all, you and I were once mother and son. How could I not personally come and see your wedding?"

"But I don't want to see you on my wedding day. Get out!"

I didn't expect that this kid would be so ruthless in front of all the guests, and he didn't even bother to put on a show.

Cui Yuan's expression froze, but she still shamelessly turned to the old Taoist priest and continued, "Master Zhang, please continue. What evidence do you have?"

The Taoist priest was trembling under the threat of Lu Shiyilang and Xuan Yu. But when he saw Cui Yuan, he stopped trembling. He stood up and said confidently, "Since she is a monster, she must have a monster birthmark. We just need to check if she has one!"

Xiao Muchen's expression was slightly stunned again. If it was a coincidence when the Taoist priest said that Ah Huan was possessed by a demon, then it was no coincidence that he could now tell her that she had a birthmark.

"Ridiculous! This is a wedding banquet, old Taoist priest. How dare you barge in on someone else's wedding banquet and yet you have the audacity to demand that the bride undress on the spot to check for birthmarks?"

"I didn't say she had to take off her clothes. Isn't it enough to find someone close to her to prove it?"

After hearing this, Xiao Muchen breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself: This old Taoist priest must have been bribed by the King of Wei to act out this drama again!
He wanted to see how he would continue this play.
"Someone close to her? Who is that?" There are always people who can't resist their running curiosity and ask at the top of their voice.

The old Taoist priest replied, "The young lady from the Su family is her sister. She must know whether she has a birthmark or not. Then please ask the third and fifth wives of the Su family to come out and testify!"

As soon as the old Taoist priest finished speaking, everyone looked in the direction he pointed. Su Sanniang was still hesitant and didn't dare to speak, but Su Wuniang strode out and said loudly: "I can testify, I have seen her bathing and changing clothes, and there is a plum blossom-shaped birthmark on her body. She was very strange when she was young, and she once stabbed my mother with scissors. She is a monster just like her mother!" Seeing Su Wuniang running out, Su Qing's face sank, and he wished he could rush over and pull her back.

At this time, someone had already asked, "Su Wuniang, since you said she had a plum blossom-shaped birthmark on her body, then where exactly is this birthmark?"

Su Wuniang moved her lips and stammered, "It seems to be... on the side of the waist, yes, on the side of the waist!"

Wang Wuniang laughed. "Su Wuniang, you just said that Princess Jiahe was a monster just like her mother, and you seemed to be carrying a lot of resentment. And when I asked you where the birthmark was, you actually thought for a moment before saying it seemed to be on your waist. If you had truly seen it, why would you have hesitated before answering? You were wondering if your answer matched the person behind the scenes you were asking me to identify, right?"

"I... you're talking nonsense. Just because I answered a little slowly, do you deny that I've seen it before? I'm just born with a slow brain, right?"

Wang Wuniang simply turned to Su Sanniang, who was lowering her head, and asked, "Su Sanniang, what do you say?"

Su Sanniang saw everyone's eyes on her. In addition to her father's stern eyes, there was also Xiao Muchen's terrifyingly cold eyes.

Finally, she trembled her lips and said, "I, I don't know..."

Wang Wuniang turned to the Taoist priest with a smile and said, "Master, is this the witness you are looking for?"

"I have a witness, and that witness is Lord Shangguan, who has experienced this young lady's body."

As the old Taoist priest spoke, he pointed behind him. As expected, Shangguan Wan'er, dressed in a red official robe, walked into the wedding banquet. She came before Xiao Muchen, first handing him a gift, then politely said with a smile, "Wan'er has come to witness the ceremony on behalf of the Saint. I wish you two a happy marriage."

"Sir Shangguan, haven't you seen this young lady's body? Tell them quickly that this young lady has a plum blossom mark on her body..."

As he spoke, he winked at Shangguan Wan'er desperately.

Everyone's gaze shifted curiously and nervously to this female official with extraordinary bearing.

"I have seen it, but I already reported it to the Saint at the time, so I won't elaborate here. Besides, whether or not there's a plum blossom mark doesn't seem to mean anything, does it? Could it be that all women with birthmarks in this world are possessed by demons?"

"you--"

The old Taoist priest seemed in disbelief. They had clearly agreed on this beforehand, so how could this happen?
"Shangguan Daizhao is right. Even if there's a plum blossom seal, what's the use? This old Taoist priest is so vicious that he actually caused such a scene at someone else's wedding banquet!"

"Kick him out now!"

"Yes, hit it out!"

The guests present seemed to have finally regained their proper positions, and each of them became angry and full of fighting spirit.

At this moment, Murong Huan broke free from Xiao Muchen's embrace, slowly stepped forward and said, "Wait, you can't leave yet? Who ordered you to slander me here?"

When asking this question, Xiao Muchen had already felt the overwhelming aura emanating from her.

She... actually came out again!
