The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man
Chapter 1200 - Chapter 1200 You owe me $1200

Chapter 1200: You owe me $1200 Chapter 1200: You owe me $1200 “I’m in the back!” Gao Shen, squeezed to the rear by the fervent crowd of men, hastily raised his hand high, “Over here, over here!”

Xiao Yuchuan rudely pushed aside the crowd at the door, toppling several people over.

“Ouch…

Ouch!” Cries of pain erupted from all sides.

Only then was Gao Shen able to make his way through the throng, followed by the family servant Gao Jia, who also entered the room.

Xiao Yuchuan then closed the door, cutting off that swarm of flies.

Gao Shen saw Su Qingyue sitting at the table, clad in a lake green dress, with a beautiful yet unnamed bun atop her head, most of her black hair cascading down her back.

Even while seated, her figure was exceptionally graceful, and every move she made was full of elegance and beauty.

Such a woman, with a breathtaking appearance and noble temperament, naturally intoxicated others yet made them dare not belittle her.

Gao Shen and the family servant Gao Jia were mesmerized by her.

Xiao Yuchuan coughed displeasedly, and the two men snapped back to reality.

Gao Shen dramatically bowed to Su Qingyue, “Savior, thank you for your lifesaving grace!”

Su Qingyue held a teacup in one hand and gently tapped the edge with the lid in the other, “Young Master Gao, there’s no need for such formalities.”

Xiao Yuchuan’s eyes filled with confusion, “Wife, when did you save Gao Shen?

I vaguely know what happened but am not clear about the details.”

Qingyue’s voice was calm as water, “Seven days ago, on the day Gao Shen was relocating his ancestral grave, everyone could see me except for Gao Shen.

In fact, that Feng Shui Master had set up a formation at the spot where Gao Shen stood, using the geographic surroundings to play a little trick.

Ordinary people wouldn’t be fooled by such tricks, but Gao Shen was blinded, surely there was something fishy.

Later, after Gao Shen descended the mountain and was behind the carriage, I checked his pulse for him and found it extremely weak, a sure sign that someone had been feeding him a mysterious drug over a long period, which causes dizziness and hallucinations.

I gave him a detoxification pill and told him someone was trying to harm him.

Let him continue the rest of the story.”

Supported by the family servant Gao Jia, Gao Shen stood up, “It’s shameful to say, but I did not immediately take the elixir given by Miss Su.

As my father before he passed away told me that I mustn’t casually accept things from a strange beautiful woman, because he died young due to his indulgences in pleasure; I took that as a warning.

I was escorting my grandfather’s remains back to Liuan Town; while resting at an inn along the roadside, I awoke in the middle of the night to ‘thump thump thump’ sounds in the corridor.

When I went out to look, to my horror, I saw a mummified corpse hopping down the hallway aEUR” wasn’t that my grandfather who lay in the coffin?

I fainted on the spot.

The next day when I woke up, Gao Jia said he hadn’t seen anything, and my grandfather’s dead body was still properly in the coffin on the flatbed cart in the backyard, and the coffin was still tied up.

The Feng Shui Master said I had seen a ghost, that it was a ghost locking onto my life.

He said my grandfather thought I was unfilial and wanted to take me with him.

Back at the residence in Liuan Town, in the middle of the night, I once again saw my grandfather’s mummified corpse lying on my bed; I could see that corpse anytime and anywhere, and it scared me nearly insane…

The servants at home, my wife and concubines, all thought I was possessed by evil spirits.

That’s when I remembered Miss Su’s elixir; as a dying man clutching at straws, after taking the elixir, I found that the appearing mummy disappeared.

I gradually got better and remembered Miss Su’s warning, so I pretended to be mad, pretended to see the mummy, and secretly investigated the matter.

It turned out my wife Ru Hua and the Feng Shui Master were colluding in secret, poisoning my food to haunt me with ghosts and take my life for my family estate.
