I am a fairy in Journey to the West

The Rongxiang Marquis's residence has been exceptionally lively these past few days because Jia Min and Lin Daiyu have returned to visit their relatives.

When Zhou Rui's wife returned home, she saw her husband, Zhou Rui, doing accounts, so she went over and sat down first.

A moment later, Zhou Rui raised his head, looked at his wife, and smiled.

Seeing her husband's expression, Zhou Rui's wife asked, "What good thing happened today?"

Zhou Rui chuckled and asked, "How did you know?"

Zhou Rui's wife said, "As soon as I came in, I saw you fiddling with an abacus, and seeing your expression, something good must have happened."

"Hahaha." Zhou Rui laughed loudly and took out a purple coin from his pocket.

When Zhou Rui's wife saw the purple coin, her eyes widened instantly. She immediately stepped forward, snatched the coin from Zhou Rui's hand, and asked, "A purple coin? Where did you get it?"

Zhou Rui laughed and said, "Today, Fang Datou came to offer his tribute. He said that the girl he sold that day was bought by three monsters from Xiaochunling, and the three monsters gave her two purple coins."

"What about the last one?" Zhou Rui's wife asked.

Zhou Rui said, "Fang Datou needs to keep one for himself, how can he give them all to us?"

“Hey,” Zhou Rui’s wife said, “What would someone like him need purple coins for? He doesn’t even have a chance to become an immortal. You should find a way to get that purple coin from him. Our son needs it for his cultivation right now.”

Zhou Rui pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "This is not easy to handle."

"Let's talk this out properly," Zhou Rui's wife said. "At worst, we can contribute a little more capital; we just need to transfer some of it from there."

Zhou Rui nodded slightly upon hearing this and said, "Okay, then I'll give it a try."

Zhou Rui's wife asked again, "Have you eaten?"

Zhou Rui said, "No, I'll wait for you to eat together."

Zhou Rui smiled, put away the purple coin, and then stood up and said, "What would you like to eat? I'll make it for you. Try my cooking today."

Zhou Rui said, "Let's eat fish. I love your braised fish."

"Okay." After saying that, Zhou Rui's wife went to the kitchen to cook.

Soon after, a sumptuous meal was placed in front of Zhou Rui. Zhou Rui looked at the plate of braised fish and immediately felt a strong urge to eat it. He picked up a piece of fish with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth.

"Eat slowly, be careful of fish bones," Zhou Rui's wife reminded her.

Zhou Rui smiled, took a fish bone out of his mouth, and swallowed the rest of the fish meat.

At this moment, the Demon-Catching General and the Search-and-Kill General had arrived in the house. The two concealed their forms, so mortals could not see them.

The general who was searching for Zhou Rui blew a breath at him, and Zhou Rui suddenly screamed and immediately reached into his mouth.

Seeing this, Zhou Rui's wife quickly stepped forward, "Are you choking on a fishbone? I told you to be careful, don't pull it out! You can't pull it out."

Before Zhou Rui could finish speaking, Zhou Rui pulled a fishbone out of his throat with a "plop," and then a stream of bright red blood spurted from his mouth, spraying directly onto Zhou Rui's face.

The maids on both sides were startled, and Zhou Rui fell to the ground with his mouth wide open, blood gushing from his throat, quickly staining his entire body and the ground red.

"Oh my god! Oh my god!" Zhou Rui's family cried out in alarm, while Zhou Rui began to convulse, his face turning as pale as paper.

Not long after, Zhou Rui died from blood loss. The news quickly reached the Rongxiang Marquis's residence. Lady Shi and Lady Wang were shocked and immediately sent Jia Lian to investigate.

Not long after, Jia Lian returned and told Lady Shi the truth. Lady Shi sighed and said to Lady Wang, "Take some money and send it over. Make sure the compensation is handled properly."

Madam Wang nodded and replied, "Yes."

As Madam Wang got up to leave, she suddenly fell forward and collapsed to the ground.

Madam Wang let out a scream, and the maids around her rushed forward to help her up. Even Madam Shi, Madam Xing, Jia Min, and others present were taken aback.

Before the maids could help Madam Wang up, she herself slid forward on the ground. As she slid to the doorway, a flash of light appeared, and two divine generals clad in golden armor slowly materialized.

Jia Baoyu rushed forward, but was repelled by a mysterious force just before he reached it. Everyone present was startled, and the Dowager Lady Shi immediately stood up and asked, "Who goes there? This is the Rongxiang Marquis's residence. How dare you monsters trespass here?"

The Demon-Catching General threw the document directly in front of Lady Shi and shouted sternly, "Wang Zhuo colluded with demons and harmed living beings. We have come here to arrest and punish her on the orders of the God of Yangzhou."

Lady Shi froze on the spot, while Lin Daiyu calmly picked up the document and handed it to Lady Shi.

Lady Shi took the document and read it carefully. Her expression changed drastically, and she glared at Lady Wang, saying, "You sold Jin Chuanfa to a man-eating monster?"

"What?" Upon hearing this, all the maids and servants in the Rongxiang Marquis's mansion were utterly astonished.

Madam Wang was filled with terror, tears streaming down her face, repeatedly crying out, "Mother, save me! Save me!"

"Mother!" Jia Baoyu cried out and rushed forward again, but the general who was searching for him simply raised his hand and waved his hand. Jia Baoyu was blown away by a gust of wind and then fell heavily to the ground unconscious.

Lin Daiyu immediately ordered someone to help Jia Baoyu up and send him back to his room. When Jia Min saw this, she immediately stepped forward and shouted, "I am the Goddess of the Songjiang Water Palace. Release her immediately!"

The Demon-Catching General sneered, "You, the Goddess of the Songjiang Water Palace, are interfering in my Yangzhou Sanyuan Prefecture? Believe me or not, I'll impeach you for overstepping your authority when we get back?"

Having been married to Lin Ruhai for many years, Jia Min naturally understood the implications of this situation, so the Demon-Catching General's single sentence left her speechless.

But she immediately remembered something and turned to Lin Daiyu, saying, "Daiyu, quick, quick, save your second aunt."

After saying that, Jia Min immediately turned to the two generals who were capturing demons and searching for the dead and said, "Do you know who this is? This is the Marquis of Jiangzhu, who was appointed by the Heavenly Court. The person you captured is the Marquis of Jiangzhu's second aunt. Release her at once."

Upon hearing this, the General of Search and Kill and the General of Demon Capture immediately bowed to Lin Daiyu and said, "General of the Yangzhou Divine Palace, General of Demon Capture (General of Search and Kill), pays respects to Marquis Jiangzhu."

Lin Daiyu nodded slightly and asked the two generals, "Has the Divine Ruler of Governance investigated the matter thoroughly?"

The search and kill general reported, "Reporting to Marquis Jiangzhu, the investigation has been completed. It has been found that Wang Zhuo ordered Zhou Rui to sell Jin Chuan, and Zhou Rui sold it to the man-eating monster of Xiaochunling through the human trafficker Fang Datou. The evidence is conclusive. Fang Datou and Zhou Rui were convicted of betrayal and died a violent death. They have already been tortured to death."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the Rongxiang Marquis's mansion changed their expressions again, especially Jia Lian, who had just gone to check the situation. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, after all, he had witnessed Zhou Rui's miserable state firsthand.

"Alright." Lin Daiyu nodded and said to the two generals, "Then take her back to report."

The two generals bowed deeply, saying, "As you command."

The two generals then took Lady Wang and flew away on a cloud, heading straight for Sanyuan Prefecture in Yangzhou.

Only then did Jia Zheng and Jia She, having received the news, rush over, only to find the hall eerily silent.

At this moment, Jia Min realized what was happening and said to Lin Daiyu in disbelief, "Daiyu, you...you..."

Lin Daiyu stepped forward, first helping Grandmother Shi to sit down, and then, under Grandmother Shi's astonished gaze, stood there and called out, "Jia Zheng."

Jia Zheng was taken aback for a moment, then quickly stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Jia Zheng is here to pay respects to Marquis Jiangzhu."

Lin Daiyu looked at Jia Zheng and said, "That day, I was escorting a friend home when something happened while we were passing by Xiaochunling."

After speaking, Lin Daiyu told Jia Zheng the whole story, as well as everyone present, "It was I who sent the gold bracelet to Sanyuan Prefecture in Yangzhou and entrusted the God of Governance to investigate the matter. Today, the God of Governance's subordinates have come to capture the demon and search for the two generals, so they must have already investigated the matter thoroughly. As the second wife of the Marquis of Rongxiang's mansion, my second aunt has so disregarded human life and trampled on the laws of heaven. She should be arrested and punished."

In the end, Lin Daiyu looked at Jia Zheng and said, "I was the one who initiated this matter. If you want to hate someone, then hate me."

Jia Zheng, sweating profusely, repeatedly said he dared not, but Jia Min angrily rebuked him: "Daiyu, what has made you so cold-blooded and heartless?!"

Lin Daiyu said, “Mother, you are not cold-blooded and heartless. You know the laws of Heaven. If my second aunt’s actions are not dealt with soon, they will surely implicate the entire Rongxiang Marquis’s mansion. I am not doing this because I am cold-blooded and heartless, but because I want to be worthy of my maternal grandfather, Rongxiang Marquis, who is currently fighting in the Five Elements Realm!”

Jia Min was stunned and speechless, but Shi Taijun came to her senses at this moment and immediately stood up and said, "Daiyu did the right thing! If Wang Zhuo really committed this crime, she should be punished by the Heavenly Court. Daiyu did this to save my Rongxiang Marquis's Mansion!"

After saying this, Lady Shi immediately said to Lin Daiyu, "Daiyu, tomorrow we will go to the Sanyuan Mansion to see how the God of Governance will judge and punish."

Then, Lady Shi said to Jia Zheng, "You useless thing, you can't even control your own wife. You'll be going tomorrow too!"

Jia Zheng was already in a daze and didn't know what to do. Upon hearing Shi Taijun's words, he quickly bowed and said, "Yes, I will obey Mother's command."

Jia She glanced at Madam Xing, who was also trembling all over, sweat pouring down her face, soaking her clothes. (End of Chapter)
