A little devil has arrived at the Marquis's mansion, and all the powerful officials in the cour

"I can!"

The old Taoist priest opened his eyes again and struggled to get up.

If he's outshone by a little kid, how will he ever make a living?

Renbao ran extremely fast, her mind solely focused on capturing the soul of the wedding dress ghost, which would earn her ten thousand taels of silver.

Her chubby little leg stepped on the old man's hand.

Ah!

The old Taoist priest was in so much pain that he saw stars. Through his blurred vision, he saw Renbao's small body. In his last moments before fainting, he thought...

This little baby is a jinx!

Renbao gripped the soul-snatching rope and threw it towards the direction of the wedding dress-clad female ghost, accurately looping it around her neck.

"Don't hurt anyone, come here!" Renbao shouted.

As Yama's aura spread out, the female ghost in the wedding dress instantly felt a powerful pressure. She stiffly turned around and knelt on the ground with a thud.

Within a radius of a hundred miles, whether they were evil spirits or stones that had gained wisdom, all bowed in the direction of Renbao and dared not act rashly.

"You have come to pay your respects, Your Excellency." The female ghost in the wedding dress bowed and knelt, then raised her head, tears welling in her eyes, looking at Renbao with a pitiful expression.

The female ghost can also pretend to be weak.

She wasn't like this just now!

Master Zhou was dumbfounded. Seeing that she had been subdued by Renbao, he immediately ran behind Renbao and said, "Little Taoist priest, quickly use the Samadhi True Fire to burn her to ashes so that she won't harm anyone."

Renbao tilted her head and looked at him: "She's your aunt!"

Master Zhou: !

Is this female ghost his aunt?

The old Taoist priest said that the area near the stone bridge, nestled against the mountains and beside the water, is a geomantically auspicious place, and they plan to build a house there.

However, there has always been a rumor about a female ghost sitting on the bridge. The wealth and glory of the descendants still overcame the fear, and Master Zhou chose to bring the old Taoist priest to exorcise the female ghost today.

Unexpectedly, the old Taoist priest was no match for her at all, and he and his son almost lost their lives!

But his aunt had died long ago.

"So you're the son of that beast Zhou Dehai." The ghost in the wedding dress looked at Master Zhou, her eyes surging with boundless hatred.

My dad isn't an animal!

Master Zhou wanted to retort, but when he met the bloodshot eyes of the ghost in the wedding dress, he swallowed his words and dared not utter a single one.

Renbao sighed, resting his chin on his hand: "No wonder your Zhou family hasn't been able to produce any offspring these past few years. It turns out it's the karma created by our ancestors."

Mr. Zhou's pupils suddenly contracted.

This is also why he wanted to build the old house.

He only had one son, Zhou Fang, while Zhou Fang, who had been married for five or six years and had many wives and concubines, had not conceived any of them.

Master Zhou swallowed hard. "May I ask, Aunt, what did my father and the others do?"

A mirror of the past appeared out of thin air in Renbao's hand: "With this mirror of the past here, nothing can be faked or lied about. Let's take a look together."

"Miss, may I take a look?" Liu Chang, sitting inside the carriage, was very curious as he heard the commotion outside.

Liu Shang glanced at him: "Aren't you afraid anymore?"

"Isn't it because there's a powerful young Taoist priest here?" Liu Chang said with an embarrassed smile.

Liu Shang waved her hand, and the window creaked open.

Liu Chang: !

This guy is really good at hiding his true abilities!

Decades ago.

The Zhou family were merchants and prominent figures in the city. Their daughter, Zhou Yuxuan, was engaged to the son of the county magistrate.

On her wedding day, her close friend Song Zhaozhao suddenly accused her of losing her virginity, causing an uproar.

The magistrate immediately lost his temper, and the fiancé stormed off.

The Zhou family members felt that Zhou Yuxuan had disgraced them, so they immediately captured her, forcibly stuffed her into a pig cage, and set off in a grand procession toward the stone bridge.

"I didn't! It's a lie!" Zhou Yuxuan cried out in anguish, "Father, brother, I am truly innocent. I have never been involved in any illicit affair with anyone. You must believe me."

Master Zhou's father said indifferently, "Xuan'er, your reputation is ruined, and your marriage to the magistrate's family has been called off. Whether this matter is true or false is no longer important."

Her father stood to the side, his face also solemn, but he did not utter a word.

"Sink into the river!" the tribesmen shouted.

The pig cage was thrown into the rolling river, and the red wedding dress floated on the surface. To prevent her from swimming up, the tribesmen threw stones into the river and left only after they saw that she was no longer struggling.

Master Zhou stared at his expressionless grandfather and father, a chill creeping into his heart.

That's really ruthless.

So the ghost in the wedding dress really was his aunt.

His grandfather was gone when he was born, and he lost his father at the age of five. It must have been retribution.

Old Master Zhou made a hoarse sound, feeling powerless. The mistakes made by the older generation were now being borne by the younger generation.

"Young Taoist priest, is there still a chance for my Zhou family to atone for our sins?" Master Zhou looked at Renbao with a nervous expression.

Renbao nodded, pointing to the ghost in the wedding dress: "Every wrong has its source, every debt its debtor. If she's willing to forgive and forget, everything is negotiable!"

"aunt."

"Grandma."

The Zhou father and son called out to her at the same time.

"Shut up!" The ghost in the wedding dress bared her teeth at the father and son. "I won't forgive them! I'll make sure the Zhou family line ends!"

Both of them were deathly pale.

Renbao sat on a smooth, large rock, rubbed her fingers together with Master Zhou, and winked: "I need to continue on my way."

You know what I mean, right?

"Young Taoist priest, if you can persuade her to let us go, I will give you another ten thousand taels of silver," Master Zhou tiptoed to her side and pleaded softly.

Renbao's eyes lit up, but he hesitated for a moment: "But I need to get going."

"Add another ten thousand taels," Master Zhou said, noticing her interest.

Renbao looked at Liushang: "Sister Yishang, I can open the Yin Road behind us, and we'll be in Xiangxi in an hour or two. Let's stay here a little longer."

She didn't stay because of the money.

Liu Shang's lips twitched slightly: "Okay."

"Then let's go to your house and take a look." Renbao chuckled.

"Young Taoist priest, please."

In the city, at the county magistrate's residence.

Song Zhaozhao rubbed her forehead; she had been feeling uneasy for half an hour.

"Madam," a maidservant stepped forward to massage her temples, "should we call a doctor?"

Song Zhaozhao shook her head: "No need, I have a feeling something is going to happen."

She got up and walked to the window, where a red shadow suddenly flashed by.

Song Zhaozhao's expression changed drastically, and she quickly took several steps back, almost falling to the ground.

"Madam!" the maid exclaimed and rushed to help her.

Song Zhaozhao suppressed her panic: "Prepare generous gifts. I will visit the Zhou family first thing tomorrow morning."
