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

Chapter 48: The Zhang Family Wants Someone to Die

"Master, please take your disciple in exchange."

Song Lan looked at the old Taoist with a half-smile: "How is it?"

She persuaded him in a gentle and charming voice, "This is a good deal that is sure to make money."

"My dowry is worth a lot of money."

"You can sell it or exchange it for something else as collateral. In the end, it will be enough to renovate the Taoist temple and gild the statue of our founder."

Song Lan put down the silver scissors in his hand.

"And your disciple is still your disciple. He will just serve me for a few years. When I get tired of him, he can come back to take care of you in your old age and see you to the end of your life."

"But you are in good health now. You can live on your own or take in a little apprentice. You have enough energy to handle it."

Song Lan's lips curled slightly: "Look, it's not a loss, right?"

The old Taoist stared and screamed in his heart: How come I didn’t lose anything?
You don’t look like a good person... How can my clean and honest disciple maintain his innocence if he follows you?
That child is devoted to the Way, and keeps himself clean—

"Are you serious? You are not kidding me for fun, are you?"

The old Taoist rubbed his hands together and smiled with wrinkles all over his face.

The disciple's innocence is valuable, but the master's golden body is even more valuable!
"You can sign a deed as proof."

Song Lan raised his eyebrows and chuckled.

The old Taoist smiled brightly, and after receiving the document written by Song Lan, he immediately signed his name on it and pressed his fingerprint.

The contract was concluded, and a beam of golden light entered the old Taoist's brow. The shocked people widened their eyes and looked at Song Lan in disbelief.
-
The golden crow set in the west, the remaining fire burned all over the sky, the sky was full of colorful rays of light, and the shops lining the street seemed to be bathed in gold.

Smoke was rising from the houses near the West Market. The aroma of rice mixed with the smell of firewood made people hungry.

Song Lan bought ten toasted Hu pancakes from a street vendor and brushed them with two extra layers of nectar.

"How long do you want to follow me?"

When approaching the haunted house, Song Lan stopped and turned to look at the young man who had been following her stealthily.

"grown ups……"

The young man murmured softly, lifted his robe and was about to kneel.

As soon as he bent his knees, he felt a force stopping him from kneeling any further.

"Let's talk about something."

Song Lan looked at one of his enemies from his previous life and really had no patience.

"Zhang family old man, let me...seduce you."

"It is said that the engagement between the two families cannot be annulled. Since it has been proven that he is not the real Second Young Master of the Zhang Family, the engagement originally made with you should be continued by the real Second Young Master of the Zhang Family."

As Liu Tian spoke, he took out the letter of withdrawal of engagement that Song Lan had written earlier and handed it back.

He looked humble and respectful: "Please tell me how to do it."

The tone is even more flattering.

Song Lan took the marriage cancellation letter nonchalantly, and said indifferently: "I didn't expect that everyone in the Zhang family is ugly, but they think they are beautiful."

Looking at the opened letter of divorce, her smile deepened.

But it doesn’t matter, she put a curse on the divorce letter.

Reading it means agreement, and it will be reported to the world and the earth.

It's enough as long as the heaven and earth acknowledge it. The Zhang family - a dying family - is not worth mentioning.

But...

Song Lan glanced at Liu Tian and said, "In that case, you can deal with it."

“I don’t care about the process, I only care about the results.”

The boy looked up in confusion, not understanding what Song Lan wanted to see.

"Within three days, I want to see the Zhang family hold a funeral."

Song Lan's lips curled slightly: "It doesn't matter who dies."

"As long as they are members of the Zhang family."

"including you."

In other words, if you cannot kill anyone from the Zhang family, you will commit suicide on the spot.

Liu Tian was shocked and quickly nodded his head in agreement.
-
"What did you say?"

In the Taoist temple outside the capital, the man with eagle eyes asked: "Song Lan's dowry was taken away?"

"waste!"

He was furious, and then asked anxiously: "Where is that thing? Was that thing taken away as well?"

The subordinates reported back: "The treasure that the master ordered us to find has not yet been found."

"A bunch of trash!"

The man cursed a few more times, and the people below lowered their heads, not daring to breathe, feeling extremely miserable.

"Forget it. Even the little girl from the Song family may not know what you have been looking for for so many years and have never found."

The man regained his sage-like appearance, with a calm and composed expression on his face.

"Continue to send more people and make sure to find that thing as soon as possible."

"Yes." "The Xie family is really useless."
-
The moment Song Lan stepped into the haunted house, everyone felt that the surroundings were a little warmer, not as cold and gloomy as before.

"Ms. Ghost!"

As soon as Liu Wu saw who was coming, he ran over immediately.

Song Lan dodged sideways skillfully.

Liu Wu missed and fell to the ground, his mouth full of dirt.

"Ms. Ghost..."

He made several "Pooh" sounds, but still felt a fishy taste in his mouth, which made him feel even more aggrieved.

She raised her head and looked at Song Lan with tears in her eyes.

Song Lan frowned: "Don't look at me like that next time, I'm afraid I won't be able to help but hit you."

Liu Wu felt even more aggrieved and didn't understand what he had done wrong.

"Too ugly."

"I feel pity for a beautiful woman who has been wronged. You...are so coy and pretentious. I just want to punch you twice."

Liu Wu: ...My parents gave me this birth, what can I do?

He felt wronged and wanted to cry, but he didn't dare to.

Afraid of getting beaten.

"Why are you back again?"

Song Lan raised his eyebrows: "Are you not afraid of seeing ghosts again?"

"Afraid!"

Liu Wu is particularly sincere.

Then he came forward even more servilely, smiling flatteringly: "But aren't you here, my lady ghost?"

Song Lan glanced at him.

Liu Wu immediately became more sincere: "Everyone who comes here has signed a contract."

"If you quit midway or lose, you will have to pay ten times the rent for the house."

"ten times?"

Isn’t that three months’ rent?
"Yeah yeah."

Liu Wu nodded vigorously: "Although my family is relatively well-off, I can't afford to pay 1,800 strings of cash at once..."

As he spoke, he suddenly felt even more aggrieved.

Song Lan was surprised.

Isn’t it one hundred and eighty strings of cash?

"Where is the deed you signed?"

"Here and here."

Liu Wu took out the deed and handed it over respectfully.

Song Lan opened it and read it quickly, and found that what was written on it was indeed ten times the compensation, totaling 1,800 strings of cash.

But what was written on her document was indeed compensation for three months' rent, a total of 180 strings of cash.

"Do you serve people based on their personal preferences?"

It really fits the Zhang family's style.

"what?"

Liu Wu was confused and didn't understand.

Song Lan returned the deed to him without explanation.

Liu Wu was tactful enough not to ask any questions. He just focused on following the person and trying to please him in a measured way.

Sometimes they handed over snacks, sometimes they handed over drinks.

He was even thoughtful enough to prepare a soft cushion for Song Lan.

Song Lan raised his eyebrows.

While eating the meal prepared by Liu Wu, I felt that the toasted Hu pancake in my hand was not as fragrant as before.

After eating and drinking, Song Lan's eyes fell on Pei Yuanshi in the corner far away, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

The little Taoist priest is very reserved tonight.

Pei Yuanshi's whole body was tense, and he felt as if he was being stared at by some evil spirit.

After what happened last night, everyone seemed unusually silent and anxious.

No one noticed and thick fog rose all around.

Everyone gradually began to feel their eyelids getting heavy.

After a while, they all couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell into a deep sleep.

After sensing what kind of ghost was coming tonight, Song Lan let out a light click of his tongue, the corners of his mouth curled up, full of interest.

"It's actually Haru—"

The things in the Zhang family haunted house seem to be of great significance!
