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

Chapter 161 Manager Cao's Instructions: The Ghost Messenger Came to Find Renbao

Renbao sat on the armchair, his hands on the armrests, his legs crossed, and a candied hawthorn in his mouth.

"Daddy, Uncle Jiang, do I look like a boss?" Renbao asked, her bright eyes sparkling.

Manager Cao quickly replied, "So alike! Absolutely! You're born to be a boss, destined for wealth, and you're sure to become the number one female merchant in the Great Yong Dynasty."

He thought he had flattered the right person.

Renbao snorted, "I was born to be the King of Hell, not the number one female businesswoman!"

Shopkeeper Cao: Ah... these days it's fashionable to be the King of Hell?

Jiang Huaijin laughed without holding back, his tone dripping with sarcasm: "Get out."

"No!" Manager Cao struggled, crying bitterly, "Yesterday, after the little celestial master revealed that a little ghost was following me, I felt like I was being paralyzed by a ghost at night, and there was a baby crying in my ear, but I couldn't see anything."

They pulled my hair, my beard, and tore my clothes.

Manager Cao thought he might be blinded by a ghost. He was completely unaware that he was not wearing clothes when he went out and walked naked through an alley.

Everyone pointed at him and cursed him for being shameless. Only then did he realize that he had completely lost face.

He went to find the master that his employer was supporting.

The master only gave him five words: "Suspicious and paranoid, get out!"

Renbao's little mouth opened slightly, her face filled with shock: "You're in such a terrible situation, running naked in the street! Don't be ashamed!"

Manager Cao, a fat man, covered his face and sobbed, "That's right, Little Celestial Master, you have to do justice for me!"

Su Xuance slowly sipped his tea, his voice low and menacing: "If you wail and howl again, I will have you thrown out."

Manager Cao immediately made a gesture to seal his mouth and shrank back in fear.

We can't afford to mess with them.

Who knew Jin Yulou had such a powerful backer?

A minor Taoist priest, and a high-ranking official in the Court of Judicial Review.

Jiang Huaijin said coldly, "Fatty Cao, who is the owner of your Manyulou? Who is the one who uses the Three Corpses Wealth-Blocking Technique?"

Manager Cao shuddered, his eyes wide with disbelief. He had even learned of the underhanded tricks his employer had used.

Jin Yulou's strength is unfathomable!

Renbao sat up slightly: "Tell me the truth, I'll check what's going on with the little devil on you."

Manager Cao's spirits instantly lifted; "Every man for himself!"

"Reporting to the young master, the manager of Manyulou is a woman. She always wears a veil, so I have never seen her full face. But with my discerning eye, I can tell from the glimpses of her eyes and brows that she is a great beauty." Manager Cao became more and more excited as he spoke, his tone becoming loud and clear.

Jiang Huaijin slammed his hand on the table: "Get to the point."

Manager Cao's voice immediately softened: "Judging from her accent, she's from Jiangnan. She's the one who told me to build Manyulou according to the layout of Jinyulou, to steal your customers."

The master she kept—I've never seen his face, only that he wore a black robe and exuded a menacing aura.

Renbao stuffed the last candied hawthorn into his mouth and mumbled, "I know who it is, it's..."

"Renbao," Su Xuance interrupted her before she could finish her sentence, changing the subject, "What's with the little devil on Manager Cao's shoulder?"

Manager Cao looked at Renbao with eager anticipation.

"They're your children," Renbao said in a clear voice, raising her chubby little hand and pointing to Manager Cao's shoulder. "One is on the left, and one is on the right. They're twins, a boy and a girl. They hate you to the core, yet they want to be close to you."

Manager Cao's face turned ashen, and a chill ran up his spine from the soles of his feet.

Jiang Huaijin and the others also felt the temperature in Jinyulou drop, and it suddenly became chilly.

"But I'm a man, where did this child come from?" Manager Cao said, his lips trembling.

Renbao rested her chin on her hand and looked at him: "You're so silly."

Su Xuance said calmly, "Manager Cao must have made the woman have an abortion. The sins she committed have caused the infant to harbor too much resentment, which is why it is hovering around you."

Renbao gave Su Xuance an approving look and said in a strong voice, "Yes, that's exactly what I meant! Daddy is amazing, he can be my apprentice."

Su Xuance's lips twitched.

The daughter becomes her father's apprentice, thus reversing the Heavenly Gang.

Jiang Huaijin suppressed a laugh; Renbao is just too adorable.

Manager Cao remembered that a few years ago he had kept a mistress outside the home. His wife was jealous and shrewish, so he only dared to keep her and did not dare to have any children with her.

Upon learning that his mistress was pregnant, he immediately ordered his men to forcibly restrain her and force-feed her an abortion pill.

Manager Cao froze, and asked in fear and unease, "Little Celestial Master, is there any way to stop them from following me?"

Renbao raised one of his little fingers.

"One thousand taels?" Manager Cao's heart trembled. He wouldn't even be worth one thousand taels if he were sold.

Renbao shook it: "It's one hundred taels."

Manager Cao wiped away his cold sweat, immediately took out a hundred-tael silver note from his pocket, and respectfully handed it over with both hands.

Jiang Huaijin watched from the sidelines, clicking his tongue in amazement. Good heavens, Renbao's divination was worth a hundred taels of silver; this was truly a treasure trove!

"It's true!" Renbao unfolded the silver notes, twirled them in his hands, and then said to Manager Cao, "They finally managed to get in line to be reincarnated in the underworld, and while they were still in their mother's womb, you took away their right to become adults. Who else can they blame but you?"

"I'll take your money and perform a ritual to help them pass on to the afterlife, sending them to the underworld to be reincarnated. But don't do such immoral things again."

Manager Cao hurriedly nodded: "I certainly wouldn't dare, I will definitely do a good deed."

Renbao pointed her chubby little finger at his shoulder and beckoned, "Come here."

The two little ghosts instantly detached from Manager Cao's shoulders and floated towards her, their infant souls entwining around her fingertips.

"Go to the underworld and line up again, be good, okay?" Renbao picked up their souls, tossed them towards the gates of the underworld, clapped her hands, and said, "Alright!"

Manager Cao did feel the pressure that had been suffocating him disappear, but wasn't it a bit too fast? There was no need to prepare anything at all.

He stared blankly at Renbao's hand.

Just tap here and tap there, and it's done?

Su Xuance placed the teacup on the table, his gaze turning cold: "When you get back, you'll know what you should and shouldn't say, right?"

Manager Cao nodded nervously: "I understand."

"go out."

"Yes."

After he left, Jiang Huaijin leaned closer to Renbao, his face full of curiosity: "Renbao, who exactly owns Manyulou?"

Renbao covered his mouth: "Father told me not to say it."

Jiang Huaijin immediately glared at Su Xuance: "Speak quickly."

Su Xuance said calmly, "Qing Wang's newlywed wife, Qin Zhenzhen, is the master that Manager Cao mentioned. He must be a heretic kept by the Marquis's mansion."

Jiang Huaijin's face darkened, and he was about to ask what to do next.

Renbao shushed him, staring intently in one direction. He followed her gaze and asked, "Renbao, what's that over there?"

"Uncles Black and White Impermanence, and Uncles Ox-Head and Horse-Face are here too! Uncle Jiang, hurry up and prepare a delicious meal! We want meat and wine!" Renbao said cheerfully, very happy to see the ghost messengers coming up.
