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

Chapter 286 Flattery
After settling Liu Yueniang in, Song Lan dismissed the ghosts.

Zhong Kui, being quite perceptive, stepped forward and said, "Please rest assured, sir, once we return, we will definitely investigate who is behind this, feigning compliance while secretly causing this disturbance."

Only then did Cui Jue belatedly realize what Song Lan meant.

He quickly added, "Yes! We will definitely investigate and find out who is stirring up trouble and ruining the reputation of the Underworld."

Song Lan simply hummed in agreement: "I understand."

Seeing that she seemed to have no other instructions, they realized that she really had nothing else to give.

The four judges and the Black and White Impermanence then prepared to leave with Liu Yueniang.

Pei Yuanshi hesitated for a moment before finally mustering the courage to speak: "Please wait a moment, gentlemen."

The four judges frowned and stopped, looking at the young Taoist priest who had summoned them but ended up being criticized by Song Lan. They were all somewhat displeased.

Isn't this a complete scam?
If they had been properly reminded before being summoned, they wouldn't have been caught off guard and given a severe scolding.

I wonder which bastard dared to mess with Song Lan.

They got scolded because of this!
If we catch them later, we'll definitely teach them a lesson and make them suffer!

The ghosts shared a common hatred for the enemy, a rare instance of tacit understanding.

"what's up?"

The four judges looked at Pei Yuanshi, their tone much colder.

Pei Yuanshi hurriedly bowed respectfully to the people and said, "This junior's magic was not very good just now, and when I was invoking the gods, I forgot to offer sacrifices to you gentlemen."

It would have been better if this hadn't been brought up, because it only made the four judges even angrier.

Even when angry, they only dare to silently sulk in their hearts.

Song Lan is still here.

Do you think they can still commit crimes against the wind?

Isn't that seeking death?

Just as the four judges were about to refuse with harsh words, Pei Yuanshi, following the rules, burned gold ingots for each of them. The heavy gold ingots in their hands immediately softened their expressions.

"You little rascal, you're pretty quick-witted!"

Once Cui Jue had the gold ingot in his hand, he immediately became somewhat smug.

After being kicked by Lu Zhidao, he belatedly realized something and quickly composed himself.

"Heh~"

Song Lan gave a light chuckle without any expression, and Cui Jue immediately couldn't resist. His legs went weak and he knelt down, offering the gold ingots with both hands in a fawning manner: "My lord, please enjoy!"

The other ghosts simply couldn't bear to look at him.

Black Impermanence is straightforward. He's been imprisoned by Song Lan for a long time and hasn't interacted with anyone in a while, so he speaks his mind without thinking.

“Song Lan is a living person, why would he need incense, candles, paper money, or gold ingots? This thing of yours isn’t real gold, it can only circulate in the underworld…”

As he was talking, Hei Wuchang noticed that the other ghosts were looking at him. He realized something was wrong, and he guiltily shut his mouth. He didn't even dare to look at Song Lan, avoiding eye contact and pretending to be very busy.

"Alright, stop pretending with me."

"You've taken the gifts and benefits you were entitled to, so don't forget to do what you were supposed to do."

"Let's go back."

Song Lan waved him away.

The four judges, along with the Black and White Impermanence, dared not hesitate any longer and immediately ran away as fast as they could.

Liu Yueniang, on the other hand, bowed respectfully to everyone before slowly retreating.

After they left, Song Lan noticed the little girl beside her: "Curious?"

"what?"

The little girl snapped out of her daze, looking bewildered for a moment, seemingly not understanding what Song Lan wanted to ask.

What are you curious about?
