After I stopped being a lady from a rich family, I fought all over the capital

Chapter 240 Your eyes are so poor
Song Lan remained silent.

She slowly walked down the steps, stood in front of Pei Yuanshi, reached out and pinched his chin, forcing him to raise his head and look into his eyes, seeing through the emotions in his eyes.

"It's not entirely unrelated."

Song Lan's voice was indifferent, which puzzled Pei Yuanshi.

He shifted uncomfortably a few times, but then, as if remembering something, he quickly became docile again.

"Since we asked you for this, there must be some use for you."

"However, my dowry, which is worth a fortune, is not simply meant to be exchanged for you."

Pei Yuanshi gave a wry smile, revealing an expression of "I knew it."

"Besides, the name Pei Wanjin doesn't sound lucky either."

Song Lan paused slightly, her expression turning grim for a moment as she recalled the dowry.

“Those dowry items were all carefully selected and prepared for me by my mother before she passed away.”

Her voice was slightly melancholic, but gradually turned cold: "It's just a pity that it's been tainted by the Xie family's bad luck."

"I will give those dowry items to the Changsheng Temple, which can be considered a mutually beneficial arrangement."

"The dowry will be taken care of by Changsheng Temple and used to repair the temple and make donations. I guess I've done a good deed."

"At the very least, it's always good to get rid of bad luck."

In short, she would never touch anything that the Xie family had used.

However, we can't let the Xie family benefit for nothing.

Therefore, giving it away is the best option.

not to mention……

Song Lan glanced at Pei Yuanshi: "Moreover, I observe that Daoist Pei is a fairly upright person with an iron will and an exceptionally firm Daoist heart."

"Although he is a bit rigid, inflexible, and not good at thinking."

"Fortunately, he has the heart to eliminate evil and protect the righteous, and he also knows how to admit his mistakes and correct them."

"It might not be entirely useless."

Pei Yuanshi frowned slightly, somewhat speculating, and asked uncertainly, "What does Miss Song mean?" Does she intend to use him as a weapon to subdue demons and monsters?

Song Lan did not answer him directly, but only said, "Master Pei has been involved in these recent events. I wonder what your thoughts are on them?"

"If the evil spirits are not eliminated and are allowed to continue to cause trouble, more innocent people will be harmed."

Pei Yuanshi pondered the Zhang and Zhou families, whose methods of harming people were almost identical. He easily deduced that there must be evil spirits and greedy people colluding with each other in this matter.

"Even more likely, it's quite possible that the Zhang and Zhou families in the capital are not the only ones helping that evil spirit to do harmful things!"

He still remembered hearing the ghost in the spring dream mention the "new underworld" when he was in the Zhang family's haunted house... "If this evil spirit is really trying to replace the underworld, I'm afraid there will be even greater chaos in the human world."

Song Lan gave a soft "hmm": "Master Pei is right."

"so……"

Pei Yuanshi hesitated, "What does Miss Song want me to do?"

"Do what you think you should do."

Song Lan said calmly, "Eliminate the evil spirits, or... turn a blind eye."

"Master Pei, you only need to follow your heart."

She spoke casually, and Pei Yuanshi asked, puzzled, "That's all?"

"Yes!"

Song Lan chuckled jokingly: "You can't possibly think that I, Daoist Pei, could teach you some method to exorcise evil spirits, can you?"

Yes!

Pei Yuanshi nodded subconsciously, and spoke his mind without hesitation.

"Miss Song's esoteric arts are very powerful."

Song Lan: ...

"Master Pei, perhaps you should have your eyes checked first?"

With eyesight so poor, it would be difficult for him to tell whether the person standing opposite him is a human or a ghost.
