Refuse to trample on the pride of heaven

Lu Wensheng observed Xu Yunrao's expression - although she looked surprised, her eyes were as cold as a spring, without any ripples.

Suspicious, very suspicious!

After Liu Jiqian finished looking at the furnishings in the room, his scrutinizing gaze fell on Xu Yunrao - it was really strange, the ghost energy on the other person should have dissipated after being given the talisman paper, but this ghost energy seemed to have taken root in this Mrs. Xu.

Without saying anything, Liu Jiqian indicated that there was no problem. After telling Xu Yunrao to rest assured, he went out with the others.

Lu Wensheng: "There is something wrong with this Madam Xu!"

Liu Jiqian lowered his eyes and said, "She must have lied." But he didn't know which lie she lied.

Ning Rongrong whispered, "The Wang family must be hiding something from us."

Gu Jinzhi nodded frantically: "Friend Ning and I went around the house of that young master Wang and heard him chattering. He even placed a tablet of the eldest daughter of the Xu family in the house and told him not to come to see me."

Lu Wensheng was a little impatient: "I'm afraid these two families don't tell us the truth. They won't cry until they see the coffin. I'm afraid they will have to pay something before they are willing to explain it to us."

The four men dispersed for patrol again. In the dim morning light, a pale-faced and hurried servant called them to the hall.

"Master Xu is dead?!"

The four of them were shocked - did the ghost go to Xu's house at night? Was their house robbed? !

Liu Jiqian frowned: "This shouldn't happen. How could something go wrong if Patriarch Xu took the amulet?"

Mother Xu paused in her heart-wrenching cry, as if she was thinking about something, and then spoke stutteringly.

"The master changed his clothes when he took a bath, but he didn't bring it with him and forgot about it afterwards."

[You are asking for trouble, right? You even dropped something that could save your life.] The system complained.

Liu Jiqian sighed: "Brother Lu, let's go to Xu's house together."

Lu Wensheng nodded without objection.

The head of the Xu family was found under a tree in the yard. His expression was solemn and terrifying, his skin was dark, dry and dull, his eyes were empty, and there were deep fine lines on his face, as if he was carved by shadows. His long hair was bloodless and draped heavily on his face. There was a rope hanging from his neck, hanging him on the tree, which was chilling.

Liu Jiqian observed the corpse with a normal expression: "It was indeed killed by a fierce ghost."

Lu Wensheng could smell the stench of the corpse from a distance. He suppressed the urge to vomit and spoke while pinching his nose.

"Will Madam Xu be targeted later?"

There were only Xu's mother and Madam Xu present. When Xu's mother heard this, her already pale face suddenly lost all color and she looked at Liu Jiqian in panic.

"No, there is no negative energy lingering in the Xu family anymore." Liu Jiqian shook his head and waved his sleeves to remove the negative energy from the body of the head of the Xu family.

When the two returned to Wang's house, Xu's family had already started to decorate the house with white cloth.

"You say this is strange, why kill the head of the Xu family but not Madam Xu?"

Liu Jiqian shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.

"You are finally back! Zhao has gone crazy!" After seeing Liu Jiqian and the others, Gu Jinzhi seemed to have seen a savior. He walked up to them and explained quickly.

"When something happened to the Xu family, the head of the Wang family called all the family members out of the mansion. When there was no movement from the Zhao family, he took people to check on them. As a result, he found that the Zhao family member was unconscious and had gone crazy!"

Liu Jiqian frowned and asked them to lead the way to see Zhao.

Zhao's face was as pale as snow, without a trace of blood, and her eyes were empty and lifeless, as if she had lost all focus and consciousness.

Her originally neatly combed hair was now in disarray, like grass blown by the wind, fluttering in the air without any pattern as she moved.

Her clothes were in disarray, the once gorgeous silk was now torn loose, and the hairpin in her hair was hanging crookedly in her hair.

The corners of her mouth were drooling and trembling, as if she couldn't control her emotions. Her hands kept waving in the air, as if she wanted to grab something but didn't know where to start. Her voice was sharp and crazy.

"Little bitch! I'm not afraid of you! I wasn't afraid of you when you were alive, so how can I be afraid of you after you die?!"

"You short-lived ghost, a hen that can't lay eggs! Bitch! You were so submissive when you were alive, and now you want to take my life after you die?!"

"You've only got one baby in your belly in the past five years. You're such a jinx, you little monkey!"

Although Zhao cursed loudly, looking at her crazy state, it was obvious that she was just bluffing. Her mental state was completely broken, and the dirty words she said made everyone present frown.

The concubines gathered together and whispered that their mistress was haunted by Xu Yunxiu's ghost.

Xu Yunrao and Wang Xianwen went forward to comfort Zhao, but Zhao refused to recognize her relatives and pushed her daughter-in-law away. Xu Yunrao screamed and fell to the side. Wang Xianwen, who came to pull her out, was scratched on the face by his mother and cried out in pain. Several concubines who were peeking out from behind twisted their waists to pull him out, and the room suddenly became a mess.

"How disgraceful! Why don't you all get out of the way? Are you servants just here to eat and do nothing? Why don't you go forward and hold Zhao back?!"

Wang Quanfeng felt his face getting hot and he roared, asking several servants to hold Zhao down. However, Zhao was extremely strong and the servants had to work very hard to control her.

Lu Wensheng noticed that the amulet they had given to each other was still hanging around Zhao's waist. It looked to be in good condition. He found it strange and walked closer to take a closer look.

Zhao felt someone approaching and was startled and terrified. She struggled even harder. The two burly maids almost couldn't hold her down. Zhao was flailing around with her sharp nails, almost hitting Lu Wensheng's face.

Lu Wensheng dodged quickly, but he was quick-eyed and quick-handed and pulled the amulet off the other person's waist.

Liu Jiqian performed a Qingxin Jue at the side, and Zhao soon calmed down, but her eyes were empty.

"There is a ghost aura around Zhao, but we were patrolling the house last night. If a ghost had taken action, we would have known about it. Moreover, the amulet is intact..." Liu Jiqian took the amulet and checked it, and found that there was nothing wrong with the talisman paper.

Lu Wensheng's eyes swept over Wang Xianwen, who was covering his face and crying out in pain, and Xu Yunrao, who was staggering to his feet from the ground and wiping his tears with a rolled-up handkerchief. The sound was not loud, but it was loud enough for everyone in the room to hear.

"That's the man-made cause of Zhao's situation."

"Man-made? What does that mean?!" Wang Quanfeng was surprised and looked around with an uncertain expression.

"Either this so-called ghost was artificially created from the beginning to the end, or someone in the mansion cooperated with this ghost—"

After these words were spoken, the people in the room had different expressions.
