Chapter 1225: 1225 Yinzhu Maid Chapter 1225: 1225 Yinzhu Maid She suddenly grimaced and said through gritted teeth, “It was Gao Shou who wronged my sister first, he caused her to lose her life!

I merely pretended to be a ghost to scare his family, killing the murderer who took my sister’s life, I have been very merciful.

At times, I even wanted to kill everyone in the Gao Family!”

“But you didn’t do that,” Su Qingyue said with a smile, “You truly haven’t lost your humanity.”

“What else could I do…” Jiang Yinzhu’s expression turned gloomy, “The color of my skin grows darker day by day, so dark that I can’t meet people.

Anyone who sees me thinks I’m a demon.

I can’t go out to earn money, or earn my keep, though I’m a human, I dare not even face the daylight.

Every day I stay hidden in the abandoned house, even afraid to cook for fear of letting smoke reveal there’s someone inside.

I scare away anyone who wants to buy the abandoned house, just so I wouldn’t lose this last place of refuge.

I also want to stay here with my deceased sister.

Sadly, for over ten years, I have never once seen her spirit.”

“How do you manage to eat every day then?”

“I…” Jiang Yinzhu blushed embarrassedly, but it couldn’t be seen on her dark skin, “My Qinggong is very good, and my martial arts are not weak.

There are so many restaurants in town, from some bosses with bad conduct, I steal some cooked food, and often scavenge for food as well.

When I steal, I take very little each time, fearing to be detected.

That’s why I often go hungry.

However, I never steal from good families.

Sometimes, I steal rice and food from some unkind rich landlords, and cook it stealthily in the mountains…

Given my current skin color, it’s not just that I have no money, but money is also of no use to me, because anyone who sees me will be frightened by my skin.

I’ve been surviving, sometimes hungry, sometimes full.”

“But money is very useful to me,” Su Qingyue said, “Since you have sought me out, you must have inquired about my affairs.

You know that I charge one thousand taels of silver for a consultation, not to mention the poison in you needs quite a bit of medicine.

You can’t afford the cost of the herbs either.”

A glimmer of hope appeared in her eyes, “Divine doctor, does this mean that you can cure the poison in my body?”

Su Qingyue nodded.

Jiang Yinzhu immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed fervently, “Divine doctor, please save me!

Although I have no money, I am willing to serve you like an ox or horse for the rest of my life, I beg you to save me!”

Su Qingyue looked towards Xiao Yuchuan, “Third brother, what do you think?”

“Wife, you decide.”

Su Qingyue said indifferently, “To be my servant, you must obey my commands unconditionally, always act in my interest, and never betray me for life.

If you betray me, I will take your life.

Can you do that?”

“This servant can do it,” Jiang Yinzhu declared decisively, “This servant will henceforth heed every command of the young Lady, and will never betray the young Lady.”

“You’ve taken to calling yourself ‘this servant’ quite readily; you’re sensible,” Su Qingyue waved her hand, “Stand up.”

“Thank you, young Lady,” Jiang Yinzhu stood up.

Su Qingyue observed her red attire, “I recall that the haunting at Hanging Neck Mountain in Wushan Village was faked by the village chief’s stepwife, Liu Yuhong.

She dressed in red to pretend to be a ghost.

Why do you also prefer wearing red when acting as a ghost?”

“This servant has heard that people who die in red clothes become ghosts with a strong presence of fierceness.

Moreover, my sister, Jiang Yinmei, was wearing red when she died.

People are afraid of ghosts, and even more so of a fierce ghost in red,” Jiang Yinzhu explained.
