Mythical Beasts: The Useless Lady Is a Genius!

210 Personal Item

The worker stuffed the oil paper bag into his arms and walked towards the ancestral hall.

As soon as he reached the entrance of the ancestral hall, the worker was stopped by the Third Elder. “What do you have on you?”

The worker was startled. Because he had a guilty conscience, he confessed that he had picked up an oil paper bag before the Third Elder could interrogate him.

After the Third Elder snatched the oil paper bag from the worker’s hand, the strange feeling just now was even more intense.

He quickly opened it, but couldn’t help but exclaim, “Why is this in your hands?”

The worker was so frightened that he panicked and immediately admitted that he had taken the things in the residence for himself.

The Third Elder ordered someone to bring the workers away while he quickly headed to the Li family’s patriarch’s courtyard with the oil paper bag.

At this moment, the Li family’s patriarch was studying a small jade fragment found in the ancestral hall. “This fragment looks very familiar. It belongs to the Li family. Who sneaked into the ancestral hall?”

Ever since the ancestral hall was destroyed, they had been tracking down who had destroyed it and spreading rumors everywhere to ruin the Li family’s reputation.

The Li family had been in the capital for a hundred years, and the first daughter of the previous generation had become the queen. How could they be toppled so easily?

He had to find that scourge who had ruined the Li family’s reputation and tear him into pieces!

The Li family’s patriarch held the jade tightly as killing intent flashed in his eyes.

Outside the door, the Third Elder knocked anxiously as he shouted, “Patriarch, I have something to report!”

The Li family’s patriarch didn’t blame the Third Elder for his rash actions and ordered someone to open the door to let him in.

As soon as the Third Elder entered, he immediately handed the oil paper bag in his hand to the Li family’s patriarch. “Patriarch, take a look at this!”

After the Li family’s patriarch took a closer look, his eyes narrowed. “Isn’t this Ling’er’s? Where did you find this?”

Ever since Li Ling disappeared for no reason, they had suspected that the person who had destroyed the ancestral hall had taken her away and even killed her.

But they had no evidence.

Later, someone also sent news that Li Ling had secretly entered the palace and perhaps had something to do with the Princess’s injury.

The Li family’s patriarch naturally didn’t believe that Li Ling would do such a thing, so he suspected that someone had done these bad things in Li Ling’s disguise.

However, they had been searching for Li Ling’s traces, but to no avail. They had never been able to find the truth.

Ever since the princess was injured, the queen’s attitude towards the Li family had changed.

The two sides no longer seemed like kin. Instead, they seemed to be allies who were using each other and scheming against each other.

Although the Li family’s patriarch was pained by this change, he wasn’t completely disappointed.

As long as they found Li Ling, they would definitely be able to make a comeback!

Li Ling’s talent wasn’t inferior to that of the queen back then. She was the Li family’s pride and hope for the future!

However, why were Li Ling’s belongings wrapped in oil paper and picked up by someone?

“I sensed Ling’er’s aura from a worker. After the interrogation, the worker confessed the truth.” The Third Elder explained the origin of the oil paper bag.

“This spiritual jade is Ling’er’s personal item! Now that the spiritual jade is here, Ling’er…” the Third Elder didn’t dare to continue guessing. He had a feeling that Li Ling was a lost cause.

The Li family’s patriarch secretly gritted his teeth and touched the spiritual jade to find a trace of Li Ling’s aura from it.

The spiritual jade was Li Ling’s personal item and had followed Li Ling for many years. As long as it didn’t leave her body for long, it would be tainted with the aura of a spirit soul, so perhaps they could obtain some clues from it.

The Li family’s patriarch closed his eyes and sensed the aura of the spirit soul on the spiritual jade fluctuating.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes and stared at the spiritual jade with a pained expression.

“What happened?” The Third Elder asked anxiously. From the Li family’s patriarch’s expression, it seemed that something serious had happened.

The Li family’s patriarch gritted his teeth and said, “Let’s go! Follow me to Fragrant Garden!”

The Third Elder blinked in confusion. Why would the Patriarch suddenly want to go to such a place?

Before he could ask, he saw the Li family’s patriarch leave quickly.

The Third Elder didn’t dare to delay and immediately called a few servants to follow them to Fragrant Garden.
