The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man
Chapter 1234 - Chapter 1234 1234

Chapter 1234: 1234 Chapter 1234: 1234 “Have you forgotten that I, the Taoist priest, do not need to eat?” Su Qingyue waved her hand, “The sky has already darkened today, so I shall temporarily stay at your residence.”

Huang Qi immediately stood up, “Taoist priest, why not rest at my house…”

“Taoist priest, come to my place, I feel like my luck has been bad recently, I keep losing at gambling…”

The crowd had just witnessed the Taoist priest’s ability to make accurate predictions on the spot and had also seen with their own eyes how he captured the red-clothed fierce ghost.

The ghost was bundled up by the Taoist priest like an object, clearly showing that the Taoist priest truly was an expert from outside this world.

“I will stay here; you may all return home,” Su Qingyue said indifferently.

Xiao Yuchuan chased everyone away and closed the courtyard door.

Outside, people kept sighing, saying that the Xiao Family really encountered an expert.

As soon as they bought the mansion, the ‘Wutian Taoist’ helped them subdue the fierce ghost.

Not until the people outside had walked far away did ‘the red-clothed fierce ghost’ Yinzhu emerge from under the desk.

The so-called Taoist priest wrapping the ghost in yellow cloth was nothing more than a trick to deceive the eyes.

A large piece of yellow cloth spread out, blocking the view of the crowd, allowed her to crawl under the desk, where she hid beneath a long cloth used for mopping the floor.

Since no one lifted the cloth, no one saw her.

Then the Taoist priest pretended to have wrapped up the ghost.

The stab at the fierce ghost with a sword was also an illusion; it was made to look as if the blade had entered the body of the ghost, when in fact it passed by the side.

Fearful of ghosts, and given the ‘Taoist priest’s’ swift actions, no one suspected a thing.

As for the courtyard door that the ghost supposedly closed with a ‘chilling breeze,’ it was Xiao Yuchuan who quietly ran outside the door to pull the string tied to it.

Yinzhu’s Qinggong (Lightness Skill) was excellent; descending from the sky in a red dress was simple for her.

With her naturally dark skin, adding a pair of fangs and smearing chicken blood on her seven orifices, she looked even more like a ghost than a real ghost.

“Young Lady, now everyone should believe that the haunted house is free of ghosts, right?” Yinzhu patted off the weeds stuck to her body.

“Hmm.” Su Qingyue tore off the fake beard and thick eyebrows from her face, “Without staging this act, we couldn’t have attracted workers to say nothing of having no business for the future medicine hall.”

“My wife has worked hard!” Xiao Yuchuan embraced her and walked towards the backyard, “We should have had dinner before ‘capturing the ghost’.”

“At the haunted house’s entrance, there are fewer passersby in the evening.

If we truly waited until after having dinner, even ghosts wouldn’t dare to pass by.

It was better to get this matter settled first,” Su Qingyue spoke without using ventriloquism, returning to her own pleasant feminine voice.

Yinzhu followed them, “Young Lady, I have already prepared the meal; you can eat as soon as you’re in the kitchen.

Young Lady, when you impersonated Wutian Taoist and said that Huang Qi would have an offspring by the end of next year, what if he doesn’t have any offspring next year…”

Su Qingyue replied, “Last time I inadvertently saw him with his wife on the street.

His wife nearly stumbled, and when I helped her up, I felt her pulse and discovered she was pregnant, only it was too early to show.

The New Year has just passed by; before the end of next year, their offspring will certainly be born.”

“So that was it,” Xiao Yuchuan remarked, “I thought the wife was making it up.”

“Without saying some truth, how can one win people’s trust?” Qingyue was unconcerned.

That evening, Su Qingyue had Yinzhu heat up a large pot of hot water, and she took a good bath, washing off the yellow stain from her skin and restoring its whiteness.

The next day, early in the morning, Xiao Yuchuan opened the main gate of the haunted house to find a large crowd gathered outside.

Someone immediately asked, “Brother Xiao, is Wutian Taoist here?

I always feel like there’s a ghost in my house.

Whenever I return home, I feel uneasy all over.

Could you ask him to help catch the ghost for me?”
