Chapter 1213: 1213 Chapter 1213: 1213 Xiao Yuchuan smiled and said, “Having bought it, I’m not concerned about whatever happened in the residence in the past.”

“I’m telling you, this house is truly inauspicious…” Old Zheng pointed at the adjacent derelict house, “You know about those two houses, right?

They’re unlucky just from being near the haunted house.

People in those houses either broke their legs or met with fatal accidents.”

“Uncle has already said those were accidents.”

“Young man, why won’t you believe me?” Old Zheng got a bit angry, “This house really is haunted.

The former owner of this house was Gao Shou.

Gao Shou took five concubines, three of whom hanged themselves, one went mad, and the last one died by jumping into a well.

Before these people died, they all claimed to have seen ghosts.

Gao Shou himself saw ghosts in the residence and was so frightened that he moved with his entire family to Liuan Town, but alas, within a few years, Gao Shou also died.

After his death, this haunted house, his son finally decided to sell it, but it just couldn’t be sold, until now you, this fool, have taken over.”

“What Old Zheng is saying is true,” a chubby aunt came over and said, “Young man, let me tell you, I live quite far away, but once, when I was passing by the haunted house late at night, I saw a female ghost in red flying out from the house, with a green face and fangs…

Huh…

It really scared me sick at the time, and for a long while afterward, I would detour around it.

Only because I live far and often come into town to sell vegetables, and it’s closer to use the main road, I started passing by this side again after two years…”

Another person came over and said, “It is said that Gao Shou’s concubine who died in the well was only sixteen years old at the time of her death.

She threw herself into the well just one year after entering the residence, right in the servant’s yard.

At that time, it was said she was wearing red clothing, and everyone knows that those who die in red without closing their eyes, will become fierce ghosts…”

Wrapping her arms around herself, the chubby aunt shivered, “The red-dressed female ghost I saw, I bet it was that dead concubine…

Eek…

I’m scared to death; I better stop talking about it, so as not to provoke the resentful ghost…”

Saying this, she quickly walked away.

“You’ve heard it, young man, we neighbors wouldn’t harm you,” Old Zheng said, “There’s been no shortage of people wanting to buy the residence, and it’s not small.

But anyone who inquires about it doesn’t dare to buy.

There was also Ministry Councillor Zhou, a wealthy man from outside, who heard about the haunted house and wanted to buy it despite our warnings.

He stubbornly said he didn’t believe in ghosts.

That night, he stayed at an inn in the town, and unexpectedly saw a bloodied, red-dressed female ghost standing by his bed, nearly scaring his soul away.

Everyone said he offended the resentful ghost of the haunted house, and the ghost followed him.

The next day, he fled our town as if on fire, shouting that he would never come to this town again, nor buy such an evil haunted house.”

Su Qingyue alighted from the carriage, removed the silk handkerchief covering her face, sat outside the carriage, her face stiffened from the cold, hence the silk handkerchief to keep warm.

As people talked about the haunted house, a crowd slowly gathered around, and upon seeing Su Qingyue, everyone was suddenly astonished as if they had seen a celestial being.

Someone exclaimed in admiration, “My goodness, is this a fairy descended to Earth?

This girl is truly beautiful!”

“Such a beautiful woman!”

Praise continued unceasingly.

Su Qingyue smiled faintly at everyone, as a way of greeting.

“Isn’t that Su Qingyue…” Someone said that, and another person suddenly realized, “So she’s the one who transformed from the first ugliest wife in everywhere to the most beautiful woman, Su Qingyue.

Indeed, she is beautiful; truly as famous as rumored…”
