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

"Why are you so late coming back?"

Pei Yuru sat in the main seat, her face serious.

Renbao and the other two were all very obedient, standing in front of her with their heads bowed.

The medicine on Su Shuying's face was wiped clean, and her wounds had healed, leaving her skin smooth and fair.

Su Xuance coughed while pretending to cover his fist, and gave Renbao a wink.

Renbao tilted her little face up and smiled sweetly at Pei Yuru, her voice still childish: "Mama~"

Pei Yuru forcibly avoided looking at her: "Renbao, sit down."

Renbao's chubby little legs trotted over to the small stool next to her, where she obediently sat down, propped her chin on her hand, and blinked at Su Xuance.

Father, there's nothing I can do to help.

"Shuying, what do you say?" Pei Yuru looked at Su Shuying.

Su Shuying, who was usually calm and collected, showed a hint of panic at this moment: "Mother, I..."

The next moment, Pei Yuru suddenly covered her face and sobbed.

"I've heard everything, but you all kept it from me. It's obvious you don't consider me family," Pei Yuru said dejectedly.

Renbao immediately hugged her: "Mother, don't cry. We shouldn't have kept it from you. We were wrong."

Su Xuance knew things were going badly.

Sure enough, the next moment, Pei Yuru looked up, her bright face devoid of tears. She curled her lips into a cold smile: "Confess honestly!"

Renbao looked confused.

Su Shuying stepped forward: "Mother."

She finished explaining her argument with Zhang Mingzhu in just a few words.

"The Zhang family!" Pei Yuru's eyes blazed with fury as she grabbed a stool and rushed outside.

"mother!"

"lady!"

"Mommy, I want to go too!"

Su Xuance hugged Pei Yuru, and Su Shuying held her hand.

Little Renbao picked up a stool taller than herself and followed Pei Yuru in getting ready to start.

The four members of the family seemed to freeze in place.

Eyes wide open.

"Madam, you should set a good example," Su Xuance whispered in her ear.

Pei Yuru endured it again and again, swallowing her words, and when she met Renbao's clear eyes, she slowly put down the stool.

"If it weren't for Renbao's medical skills, Shuying would have been disfigured." Pei Yuru touched Su Shuying's face, tears welling in her eyes. The next moment, she said, "Tomorrow you will practice martial arts with me. If anyone dares to lay a hand on you, retaliate fiercely and suppress them!"

Su Shuying nodded: "Okay, Mother."

Renbao nodded in agreement, "Yes, Mother!"

Pei Yuru hugged her two daughters.

"Come with me!" After her anger subsided, Pei Yuru glanced at Su Xuance and walked towards the study first.

Su Xuance sighed softly and followed.

Renbao followed her to the door and peeked in, asking curiously, "Sister, what are Mother and Father going to do?"

If Su Shuying wasn't mistaken, their father would have to kneel down and admit his mistake.

"Sweetie, let's go play." Su Shuying took her hand.

Renbao jumped up excitedly: "Yay!"

...

"Liu Tang, the corpse-driving woman from western Hunan, requests an audience with the abbot."

At the entrance of Qingshan Temple, a girl of about fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in red, with skin as white as snow and a sharp tongue swirling around her shoulder, shouted in a loud voice.

Dao Xuan sat in front of the patriarch and recited the Tao Te Ching.

The Taoist temple has been so busy these past few days that his eyes are turning blue, and he's currently taking a nap.

"Master, someone is looking for you outside," the young Taoist priest Zhikong reminded him.

Dao Xuan suddenly woke up, wiped his mouth, and said in a daze, "Go and send them away. I won't see them. The incense offerings should also be distributed to the other Taoist temples."

A thunderous boom resounded.

Zhi Kong looked up and saw that the patriarch in the portrait had a tight mouth, clearly dissatisfied with his unreliable master.

"Master, why don't you look up?" he suggested.

Dao Xuan lowered his eyelids: "Shut up."

Boom! A bolt of lightning struck right in front of him. He looked up abruptly and scrambled to his feet: "I was wrong, I was wrong."

"Good man, if you don't open your eyes and look, the Taoist temple is closed." Dao Xuan reluctantly walked to the door, waved his hand listlessly, and said, "Go back and come back tomorrow."

The venomous snake on Liu Tang's shoulder flew towards Chong's face like lightning.

Dao Xuan raised his hand, pinched the snake's vital spot, and threw it back at Liu Tang.

He glanced at her and said, "Kind people are immoral."

"Master Daoxuan, I've heard that you are on good terms with the reincarnation of Little Yama. I've come today to ask you to come with me to the capital. I have something to ask Little Yama," Liu Tang said sincerely and respectfully.

Dao Xuan's eyes lit up. He hadn't seen Ren Bao for a while and missed him dearly.

"What's the matter?" Dao Xuan asked tentatively.

Liu Tang pursed her lips and remained silent.

Dao Xuan rolled his eyes and held out his hand: "One hundred taels for incense money."

Liu Tang glared at him: "Why don't you just rob it!"

Dao Xuan closed the door, revealing half of his face: "Then I won't have time to go to the capital. Oh dear, Little Yama might not even see you."

He closed the door at a snail's pace, glancing at Liu Tang out of the corner of his eye.

Say yes already!

Continue until the gap in the door is completely closed.

Liu Tang remained silent.

Dao Xuan gritted his teeth. This little girl is so stingy!

"Wait a minute," Liu Tang said.

Dao Xuan immediately opened the door, beaming, "Please come in, sir."

Liu Tang: ………

Does this unreliable Taoist priest really know Little Yama?

"Young Miss, I've heard that there's a burial ground outside the capital where the dead rise up at night and return to their graves before dawn. Is this true?"

Tao Xiang fed Ren Bao meat soup, her eyes filled with intense curiosity.

Baoqin and the others also pricked up their ears, eager to know as well.

Renbao opened his mouth wide and exclaimed, "Feed me meat, I want meat!"

"Oh, oh." Tao Xiang seemed to wake from a dream and quickly scooped up a spoonful.

Renbao wasn't satisfied with just one bowl, so she reached out and took another, gulping it down in one go. She gave a thumbs up: "So fragrant! So delicious! I want another bowl, no, ten bowls!"

"Here it is!" Tao Xiang placed ten bowls on the table, then looked at Ren Bao expectantly, clasped her hands together, and said, "Little Miss, please tell me."

Renbao's eyes widened: "Then let's go check out the corpse-raising ground tonight! Don't you people have a saying, 'Seeing is believing, hearing is deceiving'?"

The maids burst out laughing: "Young Miss, you're a person too."

Tao Xiang coughed heavily. Having served Ren Bao for a long time, she knew that the young lady loved to play the role of a little devil.

Everyone changed their tune.

"Little Yama is right. If you go to raise corpses, no demons or monsters will dare to cause trouble."

"Can we really go?" Baoqin asked uncertainly.

Renbao patted his chest confidently: "Yes, my mother loves me the most!"

"No way!" Pei Yuru refused after hearing Renbao's intention.

Yesterday, my eldest daughter almost got disfigured. Today, Renbao suggested raising a corpse. She must be out of her mind to agree to that.

"Mommy," Renbao clung to her arm, pleading, "I want to go see if it's true! Even evil spirits are afraid of me, please let me go, please!"

Renbao clasped his hands together and looked at her expectantly.

Pei Yuru's heart softened at the sight, but she still firmly refused, saying, "No, the yin energy there is too heavy; you're not allowed to go."

"Alright." Renbao obediently lowered her head, and in the blink of an eye, she secretly plotted with Taoxiang and the others, "We'll sneak off tonight!"
