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

Chapter 45: Teaching the Bad-mouthed Manager a Lesson in the Street
Play dumb!

"Ah? What are you talking about, young Taoist priest? What's offensive or not? Didn't we just chat for a while?"

Song Lan blinked her eyes, looking extremely innocent.

Pei Yuanshi felt bitter in his mouth. The words were on the tip of his tongue, but he didn't know how to say them.

He thought that he was probably a despicable person and did not dare to make those conflicts public.

It is in vain for him to claim to be a disciple of the righteous path.

Ashamed!

I am really ashamed!
"Nothing, nothing..." Pei Yuanshi avoided his gaze and did not dare to look directly at Song Lan.

Naturally, he also missed the playful smile on Song Lan's lips.

Pei Yuanshi was still feeling guilty and blaming himself: "I made a mistake."

He mumbled something and didn't dare to say anything more.

Song Lan's mouth corners slightly raised, and he found this innocent little Taoist priest more interesting.

I really want to offend a little more!
It's not fun to just try it out first, as it is not as fun as to go further.

Yan Jun took some effort to tear open the barrier covering the underworld, thus reestablishing the connection between the world of the living and the world of the dead.

When he returned to the underworld, he saw Bai Wuchang and Judge Cui Jue standing there like clay sculptures, frozen in place, with looks of agony, unable to move.

The other judges and ghost messengers were running around anxiously not far away, alas, they were extremely worried.

When they heard the noise and saw Yan Jun coming back, they were overjoyed and all rushed to greet him: "Little Lord Yan!"

"You are finally back!"

"For unknown reasons, Bai Wuchang and Cui Pan suddenly froze in place, unable to move."

The officials talked at once and made the matter clear.

"Lord Wuchang is full of negative energy. If this continues, I'm afraid he won't be able to maintain his spirit and form, and his spirit will dissipate!"

If the ghost catcher dies again, he will completely disappear from this world.

Yan Jun frowned and walked forward to untie the shackles around Bai Wuchang and Cui Jue.

"what happened?"

These two are also well-known ghost messengers in the underworld.

Ordinary demons and monsters would not be able to do anything to these two people and would instead be restrained by them.

Bai Wuchang said weakly: "It's that one!"

He briefly and quickly told the story of Hei Wuchang's disappearance: "...I wanted to go to the human world to look for Lao Hei's whereabouts, but before I could leave the underworld, I was enveloped by that person's powerful ghost consciousness, and she warned us not to meddle in her affairs, otherwise - kill!"

When it comes to "that person", all the ghost officials are a little afraid.

"I'm afraid Lao Hei may have accidentally provoked that person."

He had a sad look on his face, and it was hard for him to be optimistic about Hei Wuchang's situation.

When he heard that it was that person, Yan Jun's expression changed.

"If she had stopped you from pursuing the matter further, I'm afraid none of us would have been able to intervene and stop it..."

Yan Jun returned to the underworld with a heavy heart, and left with a heavy heart again.

He thought of what Song Lan said about "committing himself to her", struggled for a while, and finally made up his mind. Then he went to the eldest princess's residence.
-
Xie family.

Xie Shangqi had no idea that he was having a lot of fun pretending to be crazy and stupid in the Jingzhao prison, and pretending to faint from time to time.

Suddenly two people came and said that he was very lucky and had the protection of a noble person, so he could go home.

He was also told not to talk nonsense when he returned and to just treat it as a misunderstanding.

damned!!

Can this shit luck be passed on to someone else? !
In prison he was still able to get away with it by pretending to be crazy, unconscious and mentally ill.

Back at the Xie family...how can he pretend? Can he deceive the relatives and friends living in this body?

In order to avoid being caught and burned to death as a demon, Xie Shangqi hid in the study room as soon as he returned to the Xie family, claiming to others that he was sick and needed to rest, and ignored everyone who came to see him.

Lu suffered a lot in prison.

I am full of resentment towards Xie Shangqi.

When they heard him say he was sick, they also said they were frightened and couldn't see anyone. The couple, one after the other, said they were sick, and neither of them cared about the life or death of Xie's family.

To this day, the Xie family still doesn't know what exactly happened.

However, Wang, the second wife of the Xie family, under the hint of her husband's eyes, said a few words to Song Lan in front of Mrs. Xie.
-
"Cousin, I finally found you!"

The steward of the second branch of the Xie family ran into Song Lan head-on and deliberately raised his voice, attracting the attention of people around him.

Song Lan frowned and looked at the person who suddenly appeared and blocked her way, her brows full of displeasure.

"You didn't come home last night. The old lady was so worried that she didn't sleep all night, fearing that something might happen to you. She would not be able to explain to her aunt when she went to the underworld..."

The manager shed a few tears like a cat crying over a mouse.

Hearing someone mention his deceased mother, Song Lan's face became even uglier.

She stared at the steward coldly, as if she were looking at a dead person.

The steward was unaware of this and still pretended to be worried, crying sincerely, "Miss cousin, where did you go last night?"

As he spoke, his eyes inadvertently swept back and forth between Pei Yuanshi and Liu Wu, and finally landed on Liu Wu. He acted as if he was shocked and heartbroken, and beat his chest and stamped his feet for a long time.

"Miss cousin, how can you treat yourself like this, with a stranger--" The man spent the night outside! !

Before the manager could utter the dirty words in his mouth, he suddenly felt his throat tighten, as if a pair of invisible hands were pinching his neck, making it difficult for him to breathe.

Mmmmm!!!
The steward opened his eyes wide and scratched his neck with both hands, as if trying to pry away the hands that were strangling him.

But to those around him, it looked as if the manager was talking normally when he suddenly went crazy, scratching his neck hard as if he wanted to open his throat and gasping for breath.

"Did you see that? This is the result of gossiping, slandering others' innocence, and spreading obscene rumors!"

Song Lan's lips curled slightly: "A little lesson, have you learned how to speak now?"

She blew a breath of Yin air and showed people the daily life in the hell of tongue-pulling.

"Or maybe you also want to go to the tongue-pulling hell to cure your bad habit of gossiping?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the manager felt as if his tongue was pulled out long and thrown into a boiling oil pan, frying it over and over again.

Ah ah ah ah ah! ! !
The steward wanted to scream in horror, but he found that his tongue was still in the frying pan and he couldn't make any sound.

"Oh! I won't dare to do it again! I won't dare to do it again!"

"It was Second Master who told me to say that!"

"Cousin, please spare my life!"

"I don't want to go to the hell of tongue-pulling, please spare my life!"

The steward was filled with panic, but when he found out he could speak, he immediately betrayed the second son of the Xie family.

He knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Song Lan.

In the eyes of onlookers, it looked like the manager suddenly went crazy and slapped himself hard several times, knocking out a tooth that was stuck to his lips with blood.

Then he knelt in front of Song Lan and kowtowed, saying that it was the second son of the Xie family who instructed him to spread obscene rumors in the street and slander Song Lan's innocence.

"Please spare my life! Grandpa Wuchang, Mr. Ghost Messenger, please spare my life!"

"It was all Second Master's fault!"

"It was all Second Master who ordered me to do this!"

"If you want to take someone's life, you should take his life first!"

The steward cried and screamed, revealing the dirty thoughts of the second son of the Xie family without any concealment.

Everyone was in an uproar and took a deep breath.

I don't know who said it first: "This second son of the Xie family is really vicious, isn't he? The young lady of the Song family is the only blood of his sister..."

Rumors spread very quickly.

In just the time it took Song Lan to walk from the market to the doorstep of the Xie family, the rumor that "the Xie family murdered a married woman, seized the cousin's dowry, maliciously spread rumors and slander, and ruined people's reputation" spread throughout half of the capital.

Many wealthy families who were out shopping treated this matter as gossip, and it spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, until it reached the ears of the host family.

In the Princess's mansion, a young man with a gentle smile, after listening to the servants' gossip, became curious: "Miss Xie, it seems that..."
