Balala the Magic Fairy
Chapter 113: The Ghost Hunt in the Red Mansion (7)
"Su Peisheng, how can a mere gatekeeper be so courageous?" Zhen Huan's watery gaze gently brushed across Yinzhen's face, as if looking for an answer.
Yinzhen frowned, and said in a low and powerful voice: "There must be something fishy about this matter. Although Su Peisheng is just a gatekeeper, it is not difficult to explain if there is someone behind this."
Zhen Huan nodded slightly, a trace of determination flashing in her eyes: "No matter what, we must find out the truth."
The two discussed for a moment and decided to act immediately.
Yinzhen stood up and walked hurriedly, with Zhen Huan following closely.
The two figures gradually disappeared into the night.
Su Peisheng's residence was located in a corner of the Grand View Garden, simple and remote.
Yinzhen and Zhen Huan walked to the door. Yinzhen waved his sleeves lightly, and two guards stepped forward and pushed the door open.
Inside the room, Su Peisheng was sitting at the table, holding a book in his hand, with a calm expression, as if he had already expected someone to come.
"Su Peisheng, do you admit your guilt?" Yinzhen's voice was icy cold.
Su Peisheng stood up slowly, his eyes wandering between Yinzhen and Zhen Huan, finally fixing on Zhen Huan's face, a hint of complex emotions flashing in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, my Lord, I really don't know what crime I have committed." Su Peisheng's voice was calm, but with a barely perceptible tremor.
A hint of coldness flashed across Zhen Huan's eyes: "Su Peisheng, you colluded with outsiders and robbed the Shen family. Isn't this crime enough to convict you?"
Su Peisheng's face changed and his body trembled slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.
"Your Majesty, Peisheng is not aware of this matter." Su Peisheng's voice was firm, and his eyes were looking directly at Zhen Huan, as if seeking her trust.
A hint of anger flashed in Yinzhen's eyes, and he took a step forward.
"Su Peisheng, if you don't tell the truth, don't blame me for not caring about our friendship."
"My Lord, my Lady, Pei Sheng really doesn't know."
When Zhen Huan heard his words, a complex emotion flashed across her eyes.
She knew that although Su Peisheng was of low status, if he was truly innocent, she did not want to wrongly accuse a good man.
"Su Peisheng, I will give you a chance. If you can prove your innocence, I will spare your life." There was a hint of determination in Zhen Huan's voice, and her eyes were fixed on Su Peisheng, as if she wanted to see through his heart.
Su Peisheng's eyes flashed with surprise: "My Lady, Peisheng is willing to accept any investigation, just to prove his innocence."
Yinzhen raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes stayed on Su Peisheng's face for a moment, and then he slowly spoke.
"Okay, I'll give you this chance. But if you can't prove your innocence, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Su Peisheng bowed respectfully: "Thank you, my Lord."
Yinzhen nodded, turned around and told the guards, "Take Su Peisheng away and keep him under strict surveillance until tomorrow."
The guard took the order and took Su Peisheng away.
Yinzhen and Zhen Huan were the only ones left in the room, and the atmosphere became a little depressing.
"Noble Concubine Xi, what do you think about this matter?" Yinzhen stared at Zhen Huan, as if seeking her opinion.
A trace of contemplation flashed across Zhen Huan's eyes: "There must be something hidden in this matter. We need to think carefully."
Yinzhen nodded. He knew very well that Zhen Huan's judgment was always accurate, so he said no more.

The moonlight was clear, but the Grand View Garden was no longer peaceful. Ever since Shen Meizhuang was kidnapped, strange phenomena had occurred frequently in the garden, making people tremble with fear.
One day, the flowers and trees in the garden withered for no reason. The petals fell like rain, and the flowers were scattered all over the place without any wind. It seemed as if an invisible hand was controlling them.
Another day, at midnight, a woman's sobbing was suddenly heard in the garden. She went to look for the sound, but saw only the moonlit empty courtyard and no one in sight.
What's worse, when the maids in the garden went to fetch water from the well, they saw that the water was blood-red. They panicked and ran away in all directions.
Zhen Huan knew that this matter was of great importance and that there must be an evil spirit at work.
She summoned Yinzhen to discuss countermeasures.
Yinzhen pondered for a moment and said, "Noble Concubine Xi, there must be something fishy about this matter. Why don't we invite an expert to find out the truth?"
Zhen Huan nodded in agreement and ordered someone to invite the famous Taoist priest in the city, Zhang Zhenren.
Master Zhang has white hair and an immortal look. He is wearing a green robe that flutters in the wind. He holds a whisk in his hand as he walks into the Grand View Garden.
Master Zhang inspected the garden, frowning, and said to Zhen Huan, "My Lady, there is a strong evil spirit in this garden. I'm afraid there are evil spirits. We need to set up an altar and perform a ritual to exorcise it."
Upon hearing this, Zhen Huan immediately ordered people to prepare the altar, and Master Zhang chose a quiet place in the garden and began to set up the altar.
He took out talisman paper, cinnabar, incense burner and other items, placed them neatly one by one, and then began to chant the spell.
As night fell, candles were lit around the altar. The flickering flames cast a long shadow of Zhang Zhenren on the ground.
He muttered something and waved the whisk in the air, drawing a series of talismans.
As the spell progressed, the evil spirit in the garden was gradually suppressed, and a peaceful atmosphere slowly rose.
However, at this moment, a strong and cold wind suddenly blew in from outside the garden, and the candles on the altar were instantly extinguished, leaving the surroundings in darkness.
Master Zhang's expression changed. He felt a powerful demonic aura approaching rapidly.
"Oh no, an evil spirit is attacking!" Master Zhang shouted, and swung the whisk in his hand violently, and a golden light shot straight into the night sky.
I saw a black shadow falling from the sky and landing in front of the altar. It turned out to be a huge black fox.
There was a green light flashing in the black fox's eyes and it let out a sharp howl. The flowers, plants and trees around it seemed to be trembling at its howl.
"You bold monster, how dare you cause trouble here!" Master Zhang shouted angrily and swung the whisk in his hand again. Rays of golden light shot towards the black fox like sharp swords.
The black fox was agile and avoided Master Zhang's attack. Its eyes wandered between Zhen Huan and Master Zhang, finally settling on Zhen Huan, with a hint of cunning in its eyes.
"So it's you, this evil monster, who's causing all this trouble!" Zhen Huan said coldly. She took out a jade pendant from her sleeve, which was the one Yan Lili had given her that day. The jade pendant was engraved with complex runes and emitted a faint glow.
"Master Zhang, give me a hand!" Zhen Huan shouted softly and threw the jade pendant into the air.
Upon seeing this, Master Zhang immediately understood and swung the whisk in his hand again. Rays of golden light intertwined with the light from the jade pendant to form a huge net of light that trapped the black fox inside.
The black fox struggled in the light net, howling loudly, but was unable to break free.
Finally, with the joint efforts of Zhang Zhenren and Zhen Huan, the black fox's demonic power was completely suppressed, turning into a wisp of black smoke and dissipating into the night sky.

Yinzhen's whereabouts have been mysterious in recent days. He often leaves the house quietly in the dead of night and goes to a secret outer residence.
This house has a quiet courtyard and a deep yard. It is where he secretly married Yu Ying'er.
Yu Ying'er was outstandingly beautiful and charming. Yinzhen was so obsessed with her that he broke his old vows and secretly married her.
Yinzhen was meticulous and feared that the restrictions set by Yan Lili would reveal his whereabouts, so he asked Master Zhang for a magic technique to suppress the restrictions in his body.
From then on, Yinzhen felt relieved. He indulged in revelry every night and was in love with Yu Ying'er, forgetting the restraint and rules that a cultivator should have.
However, people who practice Taoism have strong bodies and abundant energy, so Yinzhen's premature ejaculation is indeed abnormal.
Zhen Huan, with her sharp eyes, noticed something strange about her husband and began to feel suspicious.
One day, in the dead of night, Zhen Huan gently stroked Yinzhen and asked softly, "My husband, do you seem to be feeling unwell these days?"
Yinzhen was shocked, but he pretended to be calm and said, "It's okay. I'm probably a little tired because I've been busy these days."
Zhen Huan's eyebrows were filled with worry, and she said softly, "My husband, a cultivator should take his health as the most important thing. If you feel unwell, you should not be careless. Why don't we ask Master Zhang to come and diagnose my husband?"
Yinzhen was even more worried when he heard this. He knew that his illness could not be cured by medicine and was caused by his indulgence. However, facing Zhen Huan's concern, he could not bear to speak frankly and had to agree.
The next day, Zhang Zhenren came as invited and gave Yinzhen a detailed diagnosis.
Master Zhang had an immortal appearance and superb medical skills. He knew at a glance that Yinzhen's illness was caused by inner demons and could not be cured by medicine.
"Sir, for those who practice Taoism, character is the most important. If the mind has distracting thoughts, the body will react." Master Zhang said slowly.
Yinzhen looked ashamed and regretted it in his heart, but he didn't know what to do.
Seeing this, Master Zhang said, "Sir, it is difficult to get rid of the inner demons. Only self-reflection can cure them."
Yinzhen took a deep breath, nodded, and had made a decision in his heart.
/
Yinzhen knew that his relationship with Yu Ying'er could no longer continue, so he decided to cut off all contact with her to avoid any further trouble.
However, Yu Ying'er is not someone who can be easily dealt with.
One day, she found out that she was pregnant, so she came up with a plan. She wanted to take this opportunity to force Zhen Huan to agree to her marriage with Yinzhen.
On that day, Yu Ying'er, with her slightly bulging belly, broke into the Grand View Garden and went straight to Zhen Huan's residence despite the guards' obstruction.
She knelt in the courtyard, tears in her eyes, and cried about her misfortune, claiming that if she was not allowed to marry Yinzhen, she would not be able to face the world and that she could only die to show her determination.
Zhen Huan was shocked when she heard the news, but she didn't show it. She walked out of the room and saw Yu Ying'er kneeling in the courtyard, her face pale and covered with tears. She couldn't help but feel a trace of pity for her.
However, she also knew that this matter was of great importance. If she agreed to her request, it would not only violate the rules of cultivators, but would also damage the reputation of the Grand View Garden.
"Yu Ying'er, since you are the mother of Yinzhen's child, I will take good care of you. But you are not allowed to mention the matter between you and Yinzhen again." Zhen Huan's voice was calm and firm.
Yu Ying'er's face changed when she heard this. She had never thought that Zhen Huan would be so resolute. She was anxious and wanted to say something else, but she saw a figure rushing over. It was Su Peisheng.
When Su Peisheng saw Yu Ying'er kneeling in front of Zhen Huan, he couldn't help but get furious.
This person is his wife, who has been missing for many days.
He searched everywhere for her, but unexpectedly she was here, pregnant with another man's child.
He was furious. He rushed forward, grabbed Yu Ying'er by the collar and questioned her harshly.
"You bitch, how dare you betray me, have an affair with others, and even dare to come here and act wild!" Su Peisheng's voice was like thunder.
Yu Ying'er was shocked when she saw Su Peisheng appear. She had never thought that she would meet her husband here. She was pale and trembling, but she was speechless.
Seeing that she remained silent, Su Peisheng became even more furious. He raised his hand and was about to hit her.
Yu Ying'er was terrified and dodged everywhere, but she could not escape Su Peisheng's pursuit.
There was chaos in the courtyard.
Seeing this, Zhen Huan frowned. She knew that if this matter was not resolved quickly, it would cause even greater disturbances.
She whispered to the guards to take Su Peisheng and Yu Ying'er away from here and deal with them later after the matter was clarified.
After Su Peisheng and Yu Ying'er were taken away, the courtyard returned to peace.
Zhen Huan stood in the courtyard, looking in the direction they left, feeling mixed emotions.
She knew that this matter was of great importance and must be handled properly so as not to affect the reputation of the Grand View Garden.
Yinzhen was also shocked when he learned about this. He had never thought that his momentary indulgence would lead to such a big trouble. He felt guilty, but he also knew that this matter must be resolved as soon as possible.
"Noble Concubine Xi, this matter is all caused by me. I am willing to bear all the consequences." Yinzhen said in a low voice.
Zhen Huan turned around and looked directly at Yinzhen, her voice calm and powerful.
"Although this matter was caused by you, it is no longer your problem alone. You and your wife should face it together."
Upon hearing this, Yinzhen nodded, knowing that what Zhen Huan said was very true.
