Holding a lantern, guiding souls across, Lady Hou comes from the underworld.

Under Zhong Dingyan's arrangement, Ren Fengjue and Yu Lang soon arrived at the Fu family's gate.

Upon hearing that they were guests from Minister Zhong's residence, the Fu family naturally dared not neglect them and quickly invited the two into the hall.

While the servant went to report, Ren Fengjue gently tapped the lotus lantern in his hand and asked, "Is Miss Xia here?"

Yu Lang thought he was being spoken to and couldn't help but feel a little confused.

Inside the lamp, Wuyou was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

It didn't expect that Ren Fengjue would use this method to find Xia Ximo.

How did you know I could sense her presence?

With the lamp in hand, even if Ren Fengjue is not a soul-ferryman, Wuyou can still convey her words to him through the soul-ferrying lamp.

However, Yu Lang, who was standing to the side, could not hear it.

Ren Fengjue replied softly, "I guessed."

Worry-free: "..."

Come to think of it, perhaps it was because the Earthly Lord bestowed upon it this form, but Wuyou was no longer so afraid of this pure Yang body.

At this moment, it even dared to stick half its head out and sniff around.

"I can sense that she is in this mansion, but she should be in the inner garden."

If it were in the inner garden, he and Yu Lang would definitely have difficulty getting in, even with the influence of the Minister's Mansion.

However, at that moment, a man who looked like a butler rushed out and bowed respectfully to Ren Fengjue.

"Young master, please forgive our lack of hospitality. Due to some unforeseen circumstances in the inner quarters, we are afraid our young master will be unable to leave for the time being."

"The eldest young master said that once things at his residence are resolved, he will immediately pay a visit to the Minister's residence!"

After listening to the steward's words, Ren Fengjue showed no intention of leaving. Instead, he asked, "Does the matter concerning the inner quarters have anything to do with your young master and mistress?"

The butler was quite surprised: "Young master... how did you find out?"

Ren Fengjue, however, imitated Yan Zhengchu by pinching his fingers and pretending to be mysterious.

"I have some knowledge of esoteric arts, and I have also calculated that this matter is somewhat related to the Wen family."

He deliberately emphasized the words "Wen family" very much.

The steward's expression changed again, but he didn't hold back his praise, saying, "Young master... you are truly a genius."

Yu Lang opened his mouth, but hesitated to speak, and only secretly gave a thumbs up behind his back.

Ren Fengjue added, "If you trust me, you can inform Young Master Fu again. Perhaps I can be of assistance in this matter..."

The steward knew this was an urgent matter and could not be neglected, so he immediately ran to report it.

A short while later, a handsome young man strode out from the inner courtyard.

Upon seeing Ren Fengjue and Yu Lang, he seemed to frown slightly, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

However, out of consideration for the Minister's family, they managed to offer a few more smiles.

Ren Fengjue could tell from the other party's expression that he did not trust him, but he still calmly gave a slight bow: "Young Master Fu".

Upon seeing this, Fu Yuan quickly returned the greeting and asked, "May I ask how you two gentlemen are addressed?"

Ren Fengjue composed himself and said seriously, "We are not from Beiding County. We only stopped at the Minister's residence for a short while because of some matters. As for our names, we will not reveal them."

Fu Yuan was secretly displeased that he didn't give him face, but he didn't want to make things difficult for him, so he could only smile in agreement.

Ren Fengjue immediately asked, "The steward just said that something happened in the inner quarters. Is it related to your wife?"

Upon hearing him mention Zuihuan, Fu Yuan's expression darkened, and even his brows furrowed deeply.

He explained, "It's nothing serious. My wife just threw a tantrum, hit one of the servants, and said some strange things."

Yu Lang, standing to the side, immediately said with feigned seriousness, "This doesn't sound like a small matter; it sounds more like being possessed..."

Seeing that Young Master Fu's face instantly fell, Yu Shaoqing pretended not to see it.

"We've all heard about what happened between Young Master Fu and Miss Wen. If I'm not mistaken, Miss Wen's funeral was just last night..."

"Young Master Fu, think carefully. Could there be any connection between these things?"

Upon hearing this, Young Master Fu's eyes flashed with anger, and it seemed he no longer wanted to give him face, having made up his mind to send the guest away.

Ren Fengjue suddenly stepped forward, calmed his voice, and said, "Young Master Fu, there is no need to be angry. We two came to your residence not to cause any trouble."

"In fact, I do know some inside information."

His tone was gentle, but his demeanor was calm and composed, making people unconsciously choose to believe what he said…

Fu Yuan suppressed his anger and calmed his tone, asking, "And what inside information do you know?"

Ren Fengjue didn't beat around the bush and stated the facts directly.

Miss Wen did not die of illness.

That short sentence made Fu Yuan's heart sink even further, and a chill inexplicably began to run down his spine.

Seeing his moved expression, Ren Fengjue continued, "Young Master Fu must have heard that those who die a violent death harbor the heaviest resentment and will become vengeful spirits, unable to enter the cycle of reincarnation."

"Miss Wen's greatest regret in life should be that she was unable to marry into the Fu family."

"After she died, she remained in the mortal world. Young Master Fu, do you think the first person she would look for would be you?"

After saying this, Fu Yuan felt his legs go weak.

He immediately retorted, "Why would she come looking for me? I didn't kill her!"

Ren Fengjue didn't answer his question. Instead, he asked, "After breaking off the engagement, did Young Master Fu regret marrying the top courtesan at the Forget-Me-Not Tavern?"

This question made Fu Yuan's expression turn ugly again.

Yu Lang deliberately moved closer, scrutinizing his expression: "Judging from your expression, you must be regretting it, right?"

Fu Yuan's face flushed red and then turned pale, but he remained silent.

In fact, regret is inevitable.

She broke off the engagement in a fit of anger, not caring about the infamy she would face.

His decision to marry Zuihuan was made in a fit of rage, fueled by the encouragement of his many cronies.

They all verbally envied him, thinking he could pluck the highest, most unattainable flower from the branch.

In reality, they were just watching a joke.

Because some things are indeed "only to be admired from afar and not to be touched."

A woman like Zui Huan is only suited to be surrounded by admirers in the Forget-Worry Tavern.

Once she fell into the mortal world, she was no different from anyone else…

Fu Yuan even wondered if his married life would have been different if he had married Wen Yu instead.

At least, she was willing to go to great lengths to please him and accommodate him.

He just needs to enjoy her kindness to the fullest…

Ren Fengjue added, "This matter arose because of Young Master Fu, and it should end with Young Master Fu. Please lead the way, Young Master Fu; perhaps we can be of assistance."

Fu Yuan slowly came to his senses from his daze, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back, but ultimately compromised.

"Please follow me, both of you."
