Chapter 405 The Ancient Book
405 The Ancient Book
Could it be that President Wei had forced her to do this? Wei Ting did not allow Su Meng to leave the ward. How was this any different from imprisoning her?
The more Zhu Xun thought about it, the more he felt that was the case. He looked at Su Meng with a trace of sympathy.
He finally knew why Su Meng hated Wei Ting so much.
Su Meng naturally didn’t know what Zhu Xun was thinking. She was confused by his stare. Fortunately, Zhu Xun was someone who knew his limits. He only took one look at her and turned away.
“Young Madam, President Wei said you can contact him if you need anything. I’ll take my leave now.” Zhu Xun said goodbye to Su Meng, turned the car around, and drove away.
Su Meng stood at the entrance of the antique shop and observed the shop.
At this moment, the entrance of the shop had been completely renewed. The man named Naze was quite reliable. In just a few days, he had completely restored the entrance of the shop. Not only had it been restored, but he had also changed the entrance to a very high-end one.
Su Meng was very satisfied with the exterior. She just didn’t know how well the interior was going.
The door of the antique shop was half-closed, so Su Meng pushed it open and looked inside.
Due to the lack of time, the renovation was not completed yet. The workers were working hard. The sound of electric drills and wall smashing could be heard in the store. It was so noisy that no one even noticed Su Meng when she came in.
However, although the renovation was not completed, the general appearance was already out.
Su Meng looked around. She felt that the antique shop would be completely different after the renovation.
Now that the door was fixed, they could continue to stay in the store. Su Meng’s room was on the second floor anyway, so what happened on the first floor did not affect her.
However, if she were to stay in her room during the day, she wondered if she would be killed by the noise.
Su Meng walked up to the man who looked like the leader and called out to him. He didn’t hear her, so she patted him on the shoulder.
The worker turned around and followed Su Meng out of the antique shop.
“How long will it take to finish the renovation?” Su Meng asked.
The worker thought for a moment and extended three fingers. “If there are no accidents, it will be over in three days.”
Three days wasn’t a long time, but it would delay Su Meng’s work. In the end, between recovering her body and being yelled at, she chose to be yelled at.
The sound of renovation downstairs continued. She found earplugs and stuffed them into her ears, which made her feel much better.
She wasn’t the only one who couldn’t take it, even Xiao Bai covered its ears with its paws and curled up in the enclosed cat bed that Su Meng had bought for it.
After putting on the earplugs, the noise was finally reduced. Su Meng took out a tattered spell book that her master had given her. As for how tattered it was, Su Meng didn’t even dare to flip the page with one hand, because it was very likely that the paper would break if she wasn’t careful.
The main reason was that this book had been around for too long, and it had become somewhat weathered.
Fortunately, the book only looked bad, but the content was very useful.
Su Meng decided that she would copy the book from the beginning to the end and save it when she recovered.
She could also memorize it while she was copying, in case she would need it in the future.
The book recorded almost all the spells in the feng shui world, and many of them couldn’t be found outside.
The curses she had used to help Wei Ting with the little strawmen spell were learned from this book.
Of course, even though spells were powerful, the side effects were severe as well. Luckily, there were methods to alleviate the side effects recorded in the book. That was the reason why Su Meng came back.
The book was good in every way, but there was one thing that Su Meng couldn’t stand. The book didn’t have a table of contents, so she had to flip through it herself.
The worst part was that the steps and side effects of the spell were not the same, so Su Meng had to search carefully for them.
Fortunately, the book wasn’t too thick, and she only needed to spend a little time to find it.
She would take advantage of these few days of study to recuperate. When her body was well, she would learn a few skills and be able to solve the fengshui problem more easily.
On the other side, at the Wei family.
Mother Wei was playing mahjong with her rich lady friends. Wei Xue sat by the side and watched them play. From time to time, she would bring them snacks or pour them coffee.
The only sound in the room was the shuffling of the tiles, but no one spoke.
The mahjong friends that Mother Wei had called over were all from families that were much lower than the Wei family. Only those whose family backgrounds were far inferior to the Wei family did not dare to treat her differently. Instead, they would look at her and curry favor with her.
