After I stopped being a lady from a rich family, I fought all over the capital

Chapter 38: If evil is not repaid, evil ghosts will take revenge

When they found out that the person who made the sneering sound and scared them to the point of almost peeing their pants was Song Lan, the only woman present, everyone instantly became furious.

"What are you laughing at? Are you trying to make fun of us?"

Song Lan raised his eyes and looked at the person calmly.

The man froze instantly, as if he was being stared at by something terrifying. His back felt eerie and the blood stopped flowing.

He swallowed, and the curse words in his mouth were muted before he could say them.

"I've already said it, do more good deeds and you'll live longer."

Song Lan's lips curled slightly: "There is a god above us, and those who do evil will surely perish."

"If evil is not punished, the evil ghost may come."

Her tone was vague and distant: "Don't say bad things, or you'll see ghosts when you look up~"

Everyone was a little frightened by these words, their eyes avoided, and they were still frightened.

No one dared to say anything.

This girl looks a bit ghostly!

A man of insight is a wise man. They decided not to bother with women.

Everyone found excuses for themselves in their minds, and no one said anything. They all found a place to sit down by the campfire.

Only half an hour had passed and one person had already died.

A shadow was cast over everyone's heart.

However, the young man in Taoist robe who had just stepped forward, with his arms folded, leaned against the pillar next to him, and looked at Song Lan with great curiosity.

He actually couldn't see through the fate of life and death.

"Thank you for your help just now, little Taoist priest."

Song Lan noticed people's gazes, smiled slightly, walked over, and bowed politely.

The young man in Taoist robe unexpectedly made eye contact with someone, and accidentally bumped into the person's eyes, which were rippling and shining like stars. His ears turned slightly red, and he stood up in a hurry.

"Don't worry if you see injustice on the road, girl."

Song Lan smiled slightly, as if he had listened to the other person's words and really didn't care.

The young man in Taoist robe felt a little lost.

He took two steps at a time and walked over, taking the initiative to greet: "Little Dao Yuanyi Guan Pei Yuanshi, may I ask your name, young lady?"

Song Lan looked at him for a while and smiled faintly: "Song Lan."

As he said this, he couldn't help but look at the person twice.

This young Taoist priest is really handsome.

Red lips and white teeth.

Especially those eyes, so bright and beautiful, he should be a passionate person, but I didn't expect that he would be a pure and aloof little Taoist priest.

There was silence for a while.

Pei Yuanshi started to make small talk and moved closer: "Miss Song seems to know some Taoism, or the art of face reading?"

"don't know."

Pei Yuanshi: ...You've ruined the conversation!
"Miss Song just predicted Wang Da's life or death, and advised him to be more virtuous?"

Song Lan said "Oh" softly: "I believe that there is a god above my head, and those who do evil will eventually die."

Pei Yuanshi: ...Are you serious?

His silly look was quite to Song Lan's liking, making people want to tease him.

"I also believe that those who curse me will not have a good end."

"At the very least, you will lose money, at the worst, you will get sick, and at the worst, your family will be destroyed and you won't die a good death!"

Song Lan said, half-truthfully, "Evil will be punished. If evil is not punished, the evil ghost will."

Pei Yuanshi: ...Once an extrovert, I will be an introvert to my family for life!

He stammered a few times and racked his brains, but couldn't think of what to say to respond.

I could only smile awkwardly and agree: "The girl is right!"

"Young Taoist priest, do you know Taoism?"

Song Lan said casually, "Can you see anything wrong with this house?"

It was obvious that the resentment hovering over the house became stronger after nightfall, but there was still no sign of evil.

She looked at it several times and was very sure that she was the only evil ghost in the house at this moment, and there was no other evil spirit.

Pei Yuanshi didn't expect Song Lan to suddenly start chatting.

I asked directly about his professional counterpart.

He couldn't help but become serious. He took out the compass and started to survey the surroundings.

"What did you say? Didn't you find Song Lan? You're useless!"

At the Zhang residence, Zhang Da looked at Liu Tian coldly and angrily.

Patriarch Zhang glanced at him lightly, and waited until his eldest son finished scolding before he pretended to stop him.

Then, he looked at Liu Tian with a loving expression and said in a gentle voice: "Your father has a quick temper. Don't take what he said to heart."

"Before, when Grandfather called you to the study, do you still remember what he said to you?"

Liu Tian cupped his hands: "Grandson remembers."

"The marriage between our Zhang family and Song Lan was decided when you were just born, but it happened by accident over the years..." Patriarch Zhang sighed, "You must not dislike Song Lan because of this."

"She is a good child. She has always been polite to Chi'er... that evil creature Zhang Chi. Even if there really is something going on -"

Patriarch Zhang paused deliberately and looked at Liu Tian's reaction.

Liu Tian remained silent.

"I think it was based on emotion and stopped at etiquette, and there was no such thing as crossing the line."

Patriarch Zhang smiled kindly: "You can rest assured."

Liu Tian cupped his hands and said, "Grandson will obey grandfather in everything."

He thought for a moment and said, "My grandson followed my grandfather's instructions and brought the gifts my mother prepared to visit the Xie family. When I arrived at the door of the Xie family, I found that the door was sealed and there were more guards. Judging from the style of the official uniforms of those people, they seemed to be from Jingzhao Prefecture."

"My grandson will introduce himself to others and ask where Song Lan is, and whether they can make some concessions so that I can meet him."

"But the guard said that the cousin of the Xie family was not in the mansion. Instead, she went to Jingzhao Prefecture with the arrested people from the Xie family and has not returned."

"When my grandson went to Jingzhao Prefecture to inquire again, the other party only said that Song Lan had already left."

So, he really didn’t find it.

"The Xie family was sealed?"

Patriarch Zhang frowned and asked, "Did you see it clearly?"

"My grandson has seen it clearly. It is indeed the seal from the Jingzhao Prefecture government office."

Liu Tian said humbly, "Grandfather, if you don't believe me, you can ask the housekeeper who went with me."

Patriarch Zhang naturally had to ask.

He frowned and said with a hint of displeasure: "Zhang Bai is just a servant who manages things for me. You can just call him by his name."

Liu Tian deliberately shrank back, briefly showing fear of people, but soon returned to normal, as if he had restrained himself.

"Yes, grandson has made note of it."

Patriarch Zhang still had his brows tightly furrowed, but he didn't give it any more thought.

What he wanted to know more now was what had happened. Why was the Xie family sealed off by the Jingzhao Prefecture out of the blue?
There is still no movement.

If Liu Tian hadn't come back and told him, he wouldn't have heard a single word.

Could it be——

Patriarch Zhang thought about it and felt that it was impossible that the matter had been exposed.

Otherwise, the capital city would never be so quiet at this time.

What could be the reason?

"You guys go down first!"

Patriarch Zhang waved his hand and sent the father and son away.

Just as he was about to call Zhang Bai to come in, the voice was almost at his lips when he stopped.

He frowned and called another attendant to come in.

"Go and find out what happened to the Xie family and why they were sealed off."

"Also, find out where Song Lan went if she is not at Xie's house!"

Patriarch Zhang suddenly thought of something, his expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly ordered: "It's bad! It's bad! Quick! Go immediately--"
