Seduced by the Dark King: The Enigmatic Witch Doctor's Spellbinding Affair

Aunt Zhang wanted to retort, to dismiss Wen Qingchen’s words as nonsense, but before she could open her mouth, she heard what Wen Qingchen said next and began trembling with terror.

“She wants me to ask you why you forced her to take that very foul medicine. She says next time when her brother wets his pants, she’ll help wash them immediately. Can you stop hitting her? She also wants to know… do you not love her? Otherwise, why would you never let her sleep on the bed but make her sleep under it?”

The more Aunt Zhang listened, the more terrified she became. These were things… only she and Lanlan knew.

Only they knew!

How could this Chen Qing know? How could he know!

Could it really be that Lanlan… she had turned into a ghost?!

Her body trembled violently as if a chilling wind was dragging her towards hell.

“She also says…” Wen Qingchen’s voice lowered further, “She loves her mother very much. She wants to sleep with her mother, watching her every night until she falls asleep, and then… eat her.”

“Ahhhh!”

Aunt Zhang screamed, covering her head, frantically shouting, “Don’t come near me! Don’t eat me—ahhh! Lanlan, I’m sorry, please forgive me! It wasn’t intentional, it wasn’t! They said they could cure your brother’s illness… just by framing the people at Sai Huatuo Medical Hall… they’re the ones who killed you, not me! Please forgive me…”

Aunt Zhang shrank into the corner, clutching her head and trembling uncontrollably. She seemed utterly deranged, blurting out everything.

Yesterday, when she went out with her daughter to seek medical help, someone approached her, promising to cure her son’s illness if she did what they asked.

One was an adopted daughter-in-law, and the other was her son, whom she had painstakingly raised. When the person assured her that her son’s mental condition would be cured, she agreed.

As long as her son returned to normal, he could rightfully get married and have children! As for the adopted daughter-in-law, once her son was normal, finding a wife wouldn’t be a problem!

But it was her first time doing such a thing, and she had no idea how to handle a murder scene, leaving behind many clues. When Wen Qingchen insisted on examining the body personally, she became increasingly frantic.

Wen Qingchen’s gaze was icy. “Dear neighbors, you heard her, didn’t you?”

The crowd was in disbelief, unable to fathom that Aunt Zhang had killed Lanlan to frame the Sai Huatuo Medical Hall and save her own son.

“This is outrageous! Aunt Zhang actually did something so…”

“Such a poor child…”

“Doctor Chen Qing, quickly ask Aunt Zhang who wanted to frame you. Such a person is too malicious!”

However, Aunt Zhang was trembling, unable to utter a single word. When asked who was behind it, she just bit her lip and refused to reveal their identity.

Wen Qingchen sneered, “Do you think that by keeping silent, they will keep their promise and cure your son? Let me tell you, your son… is beyond cure!”

With that, Wen Qingchen took a deep breath and walked out of the small hut.

Before leaving, she glanced at the ghostly Lanlan.

Lanlan was clinging to Aunt Zhang, seemingly unwilling to leave.

Wen Qingchen smirked. Being haunted by a ghost, Aunt Zhang would eventually fall ill, but… she deserved it. Wen Qingchen had no intention of stopping Lanlan.

In fact, even if Aunt Zhang didn’t say it, Wen Qingchen could guess who was behind it. Who else would be most threatened by her clinic?

The Wen Medical Hall.

And Aunt Zhang trusted their words because Wen Xin had impersonated her.

Everyone knew Wen Qingchen had fallen ill and was mentally incapacitated for several months, but had now recovered.

When Aunt Zhang saw the “recovered” Wen Qingchen, she naturally believed their words and chose her son, not knowing that they couldn’t cure him at all!
