System: The Path of a Mortal Being Stronger Through Being a Mother

The green-faced ghost had an ugly face that twisted as he said, "The seventh day after a person dies is the day for ghosts to return home. I returned home on the seventh day and wanted to kill those two people for revenge, but I didn't expect that they were guilty and had already moved out."

"They only left a few servants to guard the house. Those people were their accomplices, so I killed all of them and swallowed their souls. That's how I was able to increase my power. They deserved it, they all deserved it, and the lackeys deserved to die too, hahahaha..."

Lin Miao: I can’t watch it anymore…

She said, "Stop laughing. The more you laugh, the uglier you become! You've killed too many people. You won't be able to reincarnate..."

Before Lin Miao could finish, the male ghost knelt down and said, "Master, Immortal, I am not happy when I am alive, and it is meaningless to be a ghost. Please help me fulfill my wish, and I am willing to die. I beg you."

Although Lin Miao felt some sympathy for the evil spirit, she couldn't just help him because he had committed so many sins.

He said, "If you were a virtuous person, I would help you for free, and you could repay me with some merit. Now you are a sinful person, and if I help you, it will damage my practice."

The evil spirit knew the human feelings and said hurriedly: "Master, I won't let you help me for nothing. I will reward you. In this way, the evil thing I did is just killing a few servants of the accomplices. With the deal, it won't harm your practice."

Lin Miao nodded: "The deal is fine. But you are a ghost, what can you give me?"

The Green-Faced Ghost said, “Hehehe, they just thought that if they killed me, they could live together and take over my property.”

"But they didn't know that all my property was in this mansion. After several servants died inexplicably, they invited several Taoists and monks, but they couldn't subdue me, so they never dared to come in again. So they didn't take the largest portion of my property."

"Master, as long as you help me expose the fact that they killed me and help me avenge myself, I will have no relatives left, and all these properties will be yours."

Then, it took Lin Miao to a small pond in the back garden.

The pond had dried up a long time ago because no one had taken care of it.

The evil spirit reluctantly said, "Master, do you see this stone next to you? It weighs more than a thousand pounds. Twist this stone three times to the left, three times to the right, then two times to the left, and two times to the right, and the bottom of the pool will be lifted up. All the good things are underneath."

There was a sneer on his face.

He told the Taoist priestess the truth, so it's not his fault if the door can't be opened.

Lin Miao was also convinced by this ghost.

Otherwise it would tell nonsense all the time, and at this time, it didn't forget to embarrass itself.

It seems that I need to investigate this matter of revenge and not help the evildoer.

She smiled coldly, stretched out her hands, and twisted the boulder according to the method it said.

There was a creaking sound, and the stones at the bottom of the pool were lifted up little by little, revealing a flash of golden light.

Lin Miao's eyes widened. The gold bricks were neatly arranged at the bottom of the pool. Even though it was getting dark, the faint light could not be concealed.

The Green-Faced Ghost was stunned. What kind of monster is this woman? How could she have such strength?

This...this...this...Is he really going to give up this money? He was so heartbroken!

Lin Miao reached out and collected the gold pieces into the space.

Well, it’s a real big brick, not a gold bar as big as a finger.

In modern times, this amount must be tens of billions, right?

She bared her teeth and smiled at the evil spirit: "Your family is quite rich, is it ill-gotten gains?"

If there is a problem, she must get out as soon as possible, otherwise she can't live in this house anymore.

The evil ghost laughed miserably: "I am a person without fortune after all. I had to marry a slut who didn't like me while guarding the treasure. As a result, I lost my life! You are so capable, you deserve to be rich."

"Don't worry, this gold is the property left by my ancestors. It has been passed down through several generations for two hundred years."

"Because my descendants are quite capable, I have never used them. Generation after generation, only the eldest son in the family knew about it, but when it came to me, the inheritance was cut off."

"My father only has me as his legitimate son and another illegitimate son. My father died young, and I am doing well in business. Our family has no shortage of money, but I didn't expect that because of a woman, my brothers would be separated."

As he spoke, the green-faced ghost was in a state of disarray.

But he still told Lin Miao his brother's name and address.

Lin Miao followed its description and twisted the boulder again, returning the bricks and stones at the bottom of the pool to their original positions.

Lin Miao asked: "I can't let you go free to bring disaster to the world. You will only have one way left, and your soul will be scattered."

The ghost's eyes were filled with tears, and he felt a little regretful: It was such a loss to sacrifice himself for those two bitches.

Lin Miao hesitated and said, "There is another way, but I don't know what the result will be."

The ugly green-faced ghost's eyes lit up.

Lin Miao said: "I can make you into a ghost bead and put you in my space first. When I have an opportunity, I will find a way out. But I don't know whether this opportunity will come or what the final result will be."

When the evil ghost heard that there was still hope, he thought there was no reason to disagree, as it was better than being reduced to ashes, so he agreed.

Lin Miao stopped talking and used her spiritual power to swipe it a few times before throwing it into space. There, time stood still. She didn't know what was going on, and she didn't know if they would go crazy.

A green ghost bead entered the circled area and rolled...

Lin Miao breathed a sigh of relief.

She used her spiritual power to start clearing the negative energy from the yard and the houses.

Outside the door, Zhang Jinyan, Bai Shi, and the coachman Zhong Dazhuang were sitting in the carriage, waiting for Lin Miao to open the door for them.

Lin Miao had told them not to enter this door without her permission. They had also heard that this courtyard was very strange, so they didn't dare to go in casually.

However, although Zhang Jinyan didn’t say anything, he was anxious in his heart. He didn’t know how his mother was doing or whether she was in danger.

Bai also looked worried.

She has finally recovered these days. During the days when she hid in the corner of the body, she was always in a daze. She tried to wake up several times, but was suppressed by the outsider.

But after she woke up, she knew that it was thanks to her mother-in-law that the vixen was driven away. Her mother-in-law was her second parent, and her feelings for her mother-in-law were deeper than her feelings for her husband...

From now on, her mother-in-law will be her real mother.

Anyway, it’s better not to have her family.

Lin Miao finally cleared out the negative energy, with only a small amount still remaining. If it were to be exposed to the sun tomorrow, it wouldn't cause any harm to anyone.

She went to the door and called in the two children and the coachman Zhong.

Bai called out "Mom" with emotion in her eyes.

Lin Miao: This child is too emotional, I can’t stand it.

The three young men packed up their shopping, heated up the food, and went to rest.

Lin Miao was just about to start practicing. She had suffered a lot of damage today and didn't have enough spiritual power, so she felt a little uneasy.

Zhang Jinyan knocked on the door and came in: "Mom, is it dangerous today?"

Lin Miao nodded: "It is definitely dangerous. This line of work is inherently very risky. When you pass the imperial examination, you don't need to study all the time. You can learn some skills from mother. I don't say you can do anything big, but it's good for self-protection."

Zhang Jinyan's eyes lit up: "Mom, can I do it?"

Lin Miao nodded: "You know, your great grandfather is a true cultivator. I've seen your aptitude, it's not very good, but you can still practice. Your eldest sister doesn't have this aptitude, but your second sister can, she's better than you, but she's timid, I don't know if she can learn."

Zhang Jinyan smiled happily: "Mom, I always thought you were...hehehe."

Lin Miao pretended to be deep: "I was just incompetent at that time and couldn't see things clearly, I wasn't lying."

Zhang Jinyan quickly apologized: "Mom, it's my fault."

Lin Miao nodded: "If my own mother doesn't believe it, who else can I believe? There is no one who loves a child more than a mother."

Zhang Jinyan thought about his father's sudden death and his brother's disappearance when he was a child, and tears fell from his eyes: "Mom, elder brother..."

Lin Miao looked out the window. A corner of the dark night sky peeked out from the propped-up window. She said in a deep voice, "I will buy two servants tomorrow and let Bai take care of all the household affairs. You are the only son in the family. She has to learn how to run the household. If she can't do well, you, as her husband, have to teach her."

Zhang Jinyan was about to object, saying, with his mother around, how could the Bai family have the right to be the head of the family?

Lin Miao waved her hand: "I don't have the time. I need to practice at night. There are so many circus troupes in Kyoto. I need to go out to look for your brother. Since I entered Kyoto, I have a feeling that your brother is here. I have to hurry. I feel that he is not well. No matter whether you can pass the imperial examination or not, don't worry. Our family will settle down here. As a practitioner, I can afford these living expenses."

After hearing this, Zhang Jinyan could only nod his head. He could only try his best to study well, take care of things at home, and try his best to alleviate his mother's worries.

The next day, Lin Miao went to the dental clinic where she had been the day before.

When the Yaman saw her alive, he was surprised and said in a low voice, "You, you're still alive."

Lin Miao gave him a strange look: "You are so unreasonable, I am not alive, how can it be a ghost here?"

The agent knew he had said something wrong and quickly apologized: "Look at me, I've been worried all night, afraid that you wouldn't be safe and sound when you move in. I just slipped up. Don't blame me, don't blame me."

Lin Miao didn't bother with this man and just said that she wanted to buy a few servants.

The broker was really curious: "Several people have died in your house, including Taoists and monks. Are you sure everything is alright?"

Lin Miao said: "Do you think I am fine? I am a cultivator, how can I be afraid of that evil spirit?"

The broker then believed it and thought that this female Taoist priest must not be offended, as he might need her at any time in the future.

His attitude immediately became much more flattering, and he quickly sent over several slaves to be sold according to Lin Miao's request.

In this era, not everyone yearns for freedom.

If a servant met a good master, he could live a more decent and comfortable life than ordinary farmers or merchants.

Lin Miao chose a 15-year-old boy who could read a few words, and planned to be Zhang Jinyan's book boy. She also selected two cleaning ladies, two kitchen maids, and a needleworker. After thinking for a while, she chose a doorman.

Everything in Kyoto is expensive, and these people cost her 100 taels of silver.

It is much easier for Lin Miao to select people than in the past. She can observe people's complexion and demeanor, and at least her character and fortune can be guaranteed.

The fortunes of different people will always affect each other. Some people with bad fortune will also bring trouble to those around them.

However, she doesn't feel bad about these things now.

I took the people back and set rules for them.

She had some experience with this in her previous life.

There are few people in the family, so the master should take charge of everything. Just do your job well and don't talk too much.

Bai was a little confused. As a farm girl, how could she manage servants?

There was no other way, so Lin Miao hired an old nanny from a wealthy family to be Bai's assistant and teach her how to raise her eyebrows and eyes. In fact, she had to learn it herself, but she didn't have that much time.

She paid someone to investigate the evil spirit, and she started looking for her eldest son in various circus troupes.

I walked around for a whole day and watched several circus troupes, but gained nothing.

That night, she called Zhang Jinyan over and said to him, "Son, I feel a little uneasy. I always feel that something is going to happen. Today, I will use your blood relationship with your brother to find him."

Zhang Jinyan nodded excitedly: "Mom, it's important to find my brother, what should I do?"

Lin Miao said in a deep voice: "Set up a formation, use the blood of relatives, and search for people!"
