Refuse to trample on the pride of heaven

"Yes, the ghost is most likely his eldest daughter-in-law. Now his new wife is also haunted by a ghost. Everyone in the family is in a panic, but he looks like it has nothing to do with him."

Gu Jinzhi glanced at Wang Xianwen, who was following his father in silence and trance, and said.

Wang Xianwen was dressed like a typical rich kid, his clothes were gorgeous and luxurious.

She was wearing a sapphire blue robe with embroidered patterns that were lifelike, like a vivid painting. The collar was inlaid with precious pearls and she wore jade bracelets on her wrists. Her luxury was so stunning that everyone could not help but sigh in admiration.

But the dark circles under his eyes and his pale complexion somewhat diminished his handsome face.

His eyes were darting around, and he seemed a little out of his mind. When he made eye contact with the four people here, he immediately lowered his eyes - a guilty look on his face.

Gu Jinzhi affirmed: "He is 100% suffering from kidney deficiency!"

Ning Rongrong whispered, "He looks guilty!"

Gu Jinzhi, whose focus was particularly strange, received strange looks from the other three people.

"Ahem, sorry, I'm used to it."

Ignoring someone's occupational disease just now, Wang Xianwen did feel that it was very suspicious, but that Xu Yunrao, Xiao Xu, was just as suspicious.

Compared to the two families who did not sleep well, she looked extremely energetic, except that she looked a little pale and weak.

Moreover, she looked very calm. While the two families were looking at their actions expectantly, she actually had the leisure to appreciate the flowers blooming nearby. She didn't seem to be in a hurry at all - as if she was not the one being haunted by the ghost.

In fact, the four people don’t have to worry about the affairs of the two families. They can just pretend that they know nothing. As long as they wait until night to get rid of the so-called ghosts, the mission will be accomplished.

But all four of them are still young at heart. Even if they don't sympathize with the women in the story, they can't stand the truth being hidden from them when they discover the many suspicious points.

Moreover, these two families don't look like good people. When we ask them to do something, they are not open at all and are very secretive. They are also suspected of lying.

To put it in a narrow sense, even if it makes the attitudes of these two families unpleasant, it is still quite worthwhile - that is what Lu Wensheng himself thinks anyway.

Before nightfall, the Wang family held a banquet to entertain the four people.

The Wang family is indeed the richest family in Caocan City. Although I knew that their house was very luxurious as soon as I entered the door, this feeling became even deeper when I saw the dishes.

The rosewood horseshoe table with a Ruyi pattern was covered with a green satin and gilded table curtain. First, ten dishes and five fruits were served, followed by some Dingsheng tea snacks, sugar-wrapped clusters of dishes, and then the real food - Baodi whitebait, Huaiyang dried shredded silk, Huzhou water shield, Taicang bamboo shoots, Linjiang yellow sparrow... a gathering of scenery from all over the world and all seasons.

The level of luxury is astonishing.

However, all four of them had reached the level of Qi training and were now able to practice fasting. It was fine for Lu Wensheng and the others to eat, but Liu Jiqian was a Jindan cultivator and had already practiced fasting. If he ate grains, he would probably have to take food-transforming pills to prevent impurities from forming in his body.

Besides, Liu Jiqian wasn't a big eater and wouldn't pick up his chopsticks - but what surprised Lu Wensheng was that Liu Jiqian still ate something for fun.

If I don’t eat, I’m afraid it will make these people feel frightened - Lu Wensheng thought about it and quickly understood the intention of Liu Jiqian’s behavior.

The Xu couple did not stay long. After having dinner with the four people, they said goodbye and left. Lu Wensheng gave them talismans for protection.

Liu Jiqian looked at the Wang family members who were eagerly waiting, and handed out talismanic paper that could protect them to each of them, including the servants in the mansion.

Then ask them to do what they need to do as usual and let them handle the rest of the matter.

Gu Jinzhi looked up at the night sky covered by dark clouds, then turned to look at his other companions.

"Will the so-called ghost know that we have been invited to deal with it and will it not show up tonight?"

Liu Jiqian shook his head: "I'm not sure, so just in case, I gave each of them a talisman paper."

Several people were discussing something in the dark courtyard when suddenly several maids with lanterns came over with some warm tea.

"Our Madam said that it was cold at night, so she sent some tea to warm the immortal masters."

Gu Jinzhi didn't quite understand these titles: "Which lady?"

The maid lowered her head and looked submissive, appearing to have been well trained, and answered respectfully.

"It's Mrs. Xiao Xu."

The physical fitness of monks is much stronger than that of ordinary people, so they are naturally not afraid of the cold. However, a few people still accepted Xu Yunrao's kindness, took the tea, and returned it after drinking it.

The four men did not forget their business. After all, it was no problem for them as monks to go without sleep for a day or two, so they split up and patrolled around the huge royal residence. Even if they met the servants on the way, no one dared to stop them because they had all been informed.

Lu Wensheng didn't quite understand the layout of these houses, so he just went wherever he saw that made the trip, and before he knew it, he arrived at the backyard where the women lived.

"You're really in the way. You can't even do something as simple as serving tea! You're just as useless as your short-lived sister!"

A familiar sharp rebuke came from a house not far away. The sound was like fingernails scratching on a blackboard, unpleasant and irritating, and mixed with the crying of a frightened baby.

It was Zhao's voice. Judging from the cursing she was saying, it seemed that young Xu was also inside - it is no exaggeration to say that a cultivator's body is able to hear and see in all directions. Lu Wensheng easily saw the situation in the room from the half-open window not far away.

While Zhao was coaxing her eldest grandson in her arms with heartache, she did not forget to scold Xu Yunrao harshly. Her triangular eyes looked as if knives were about to fly out. The relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law did not seem optimistic.

Xu Yunrao knelt at Zhao's feet with a docile look, seeming to be submissive and accustomed to it.

Seeing her like this, Zhao scolded her even more vigorously, and then asked her to pick up all the broken pieces of the teacup on the ground with her hands.

"You are just as useless as your sister. You can't do this or that. You have been in our family for so many years, and the only use you have made is that you left us a grandson. It can be considered that your death was not in vain..."

Zhao's harsh voice did not stop, and she did not forget to madly drag down her daughter-in-law.

Xu Yunrao's hands, which were slowly picking up the fragments, paused. Her pale face made her thick eyelashes very obvious, and her crow-feather-like eyelashes trembled. She slowly clenched the hands holding the fragments. The porcelain pieces were sharp, and soon bright red color flowed out from her fair hands.
