Rejected by the Crown Prince and deemed unmarriageable, the ugly woman was forced by the imperial family to marry the Regent Prince, the Emperor's uncle.
The Regent Prince was plagued by ...
Chapter 103: When people do evil, they are more terrible than ghosts
Chen Jinmei huddled behind Yun Qingqing, trembling, crying and shouting:
"Don't come over here! Master, please save me! He is a ghost and he will kill me!"
Yun Qingqing asked curiously:
"Ghosts are also formed from the souls of people after death. The personality of a ghost will not be much different from that of a human. If there is no hatred, ghosts will not harm people for no reason."
"You are husband and wife, why does his ghost treat you like this? And why are you so afraid of him?"
Chen Jinmei's face turned pale and she was speechless.
A man suddenly rushed in from outside, gasped when he saw Kang Yan's ghost, and then his eyes turned red as he knelt down with a plop:
"Dad! Is that you?"
The ghost shook slightly, his eyes gradually became clear, and his voice choked:
"Leier...my poor son!"
Yun Qingqing looked at Chen Jinmei:
"Look, your husband understands very well, doesn't he?"
Chen Jinmei's lips trembled and she couldn't speak.
Yun Qingqing looked at Kang Yan's ghost again and said:
"I was asked by your wife to come and ask where you kept the property certificates in your home."
Kang Yan's ghost showed an angry look, but before he could speak, Yun Qingqing made a gesture, and the talisman on the coffin flashed with golden light. Kang Yan paused and shrank back a little.
Yun Qingqing said calmly:
"Just a reminder, I have already received the money from your wife, so you have no choice but to tell me where the things are."
"However, the effect of this Soul-Manifesting Talisman lasts for a full hour. I will not interfere with what you do during the rest of the time."
Kang Yan understood the meaning of her words, his anger disappeared, and he immediately bowed deeply to her:
"Thank you for your advice!"
Chen Jinmei naturally understood what these words meant. She grabbed the corner of Yun Qingqing's sleeve with fear and anger, and said anxiously:
"How could you do this! I spent money, so you can't just ignore me!"
Yun Qingqing looked at her coldly:
"According to what you said, you are wholeheartedly thinking about your husband's family. Now not only can you let him tell you the whereabouts of the family property in person, but you also have the opportunity to say goodbye to your husband properly. What's wrong with that?"
"No...no..." Chen Jinmei stammered and couldn't speak.
Kang Yan's face became angry again, his pale complexion gradually became ferocious, and the ghostly aura around him became increasingly strong.
However, the golden light on the yellow talisman also became stronger at the same time, suppressing his evil spirit and allowing him to remain rational.
He pointed at Chen Jinmei and cursed:
"You evil woman, I pitied you for being young and beautiful and marrying you into my Kang family as my second wife. I was afraid that I would wrong you, so I spoiled you in every way I could. But I didn't know that you were secretly having an affair with a wild man and even poisoned me in order to embezzle my family property!"
"Fortunately, God has eyes and I can seek justice. Chen, today is your retribution!"
As he spoke, his feet clearly did not move, but his body slowly approached Chen Jinmei.
Chen Jinmei was so scared that she crawled back, grabbed a candlestick to block in front of her and screamed:
"Don't come over here! Master, please help me take him in!"
Yun Qingqing looked calm:
"The agreed price is eight hundred taels. I will help you find the whereabouts of your property. Extra services are not included."
"Well, then how much do you want for this evil ghost? I, I still have some gold and silver jewelry, far worth hundreds of silver coins. Can I give them all to you?" Chen Jinmei hurriedly increased the price.
Yun Qingqing was straightforward:
"He is not an evil spirit. I refuse."
Kang Yan got closer and closer to Chen Jinmei, and two lines of blood and tears flowed down his pale face:
"Evil woman! Give me back my life——"
"Ah!!!" A hot current suddenly surged between Chen Jinmei's legs, her eyes rolled back and she fainted.
Yun Qingqing took two steps back and raised her hand to make a gesture. Kang Yan paused and the ghost energy on his body dissipated a little.
"Alright, there's no need for you to get stained with blood for such a person. She will be punished by the laws of the living world, and she will have to pay for her sins even after death."
Kang Yan nodded, returned the coffin and looked at his son Kang Lei.
The father and son cried bitterly to each other. Yun Qingqing sighed and walked out.
At the door, Lu'e and Lianxia were huddled together, looking around, fearful and curious.
However, because of the calming talismans that Yun Qingqing drew on their palms, the two were obviously more curious. They watched it from beginning to end and sighed in low voices again and again.
"I never thought that Chen, who looked so weak and heartbroken, was actually the murderer who killed her husband!"
"Yes, her husband is really pitiful. How could he marry such a vicious woman?"
"The most pitiful one is his son. He lost his mother at a young age, and now he has lost his father before he even reached adulthood. If it weren't for the Pavilion Master's intervention, I'm afraid he would have been killed by Chen in a short time."
"That's it... ahem, Pavilion Master!" When the two saw Yun Qingqing coming out, they quickly stopped talking.
Yun Qingqing raised her eyebrows and looked at the two of them:
"Why, you're not afraid of ghosts?"
Lu'e touched her head:
"I was actually scared at first, but after watching it for a while, I felt that... ghosts are no different from humans. They have their own loves, hates, and vengeances, and they don't necessarily want to harm people."
Lian Xia also nodded and said:
"That's right. When someone like Chen harms people, he is much scarier than a ghost."
The two sighed and looked at Yun Qingqing with sparkling eyes:
"...Pavilion Master, is there anything else you need us to do? Just tell me!"
When Yun Qingqing was outside before, the task given to the two of them was to stop Master Kang Lei and let him hear the conversation between the ghost and Chen outside the door.
The two knew that this task was too easy to complete, and they wished they could be assigned more work so that they could obtain good citizenship as soon as possible like Tao Yu.
Yun Qingqing understood their thoughts clearly, shook her head and smiled:
"Have you forgotten the calligraphy I hung in the front hall? You must not be impatient when accumulating merits. Once you become too utilitarian, you will easily go astray and achieve the opposite result."
"The right way is to maintain kindness and treat it with a normal attitude."
The two men remembered the saying “Just do good things and don’t worry about the future” and nodded thoughtfully.
Lu'e asked again:
"Pavilion Master, you said that Chen will be punished after her death. What kind of punishment will she receive?"
"For committing adultery and murdering her husband, she will be sentenced to at least ten years in the oil pot hell." Yun Qingqing said in a calm voice.
The two girls looked a little pale.
"You really can't do bad things. Even if you don't seem to suffer retribution during your lifetime, you will still be held accountable after you die."
Yun Qingqing nodded:
"In fact, her deeds were exposed during her lifetime, and being arrested and sentenced was equivalent to redeeming part of her sins. If she had not redeemed her sins during her lifetime, she would have been sentenced to at least 50 years in prison after her death."
Lu'e and Lianxia were silent.
Yun Qingqing saw the worry in the two people's eyes and softened her tone:
"In fact, the fact that you are government slaves in this life is the result of karma from a previous life. As long as you don't use despicable means to do evil things, it won't increase your sins, so don't worry too much."
"In fact, I promised to help you become good people within a year because I have calculated that there is not much sin left on you. As long as you do more good deeds and accumulate good karma, you will be able to settle the cause and effect soon, and you will be safe and sound in your next life."
As they listened to her words, their eyes reddened and tears filled their eyes.
"Thank you for your kindness, Master. We will always remember it in our hearts. Just do good things and don't worry about the future!"
Yun Qingqing smiled with relief.
Inside the house, after Kang Yan explained the location of all the family property receipts, Young Master Kang Lei immediately called the servants, tied up Chen Jinmei and reported to the police.
As for the evidence that Chen Jinmei conspired with her adulterer to kill someone, Kang Yan had already informed his son about it. Even if his soul was about to be taken to the underworld by the underworld officials, he was not afraid that Chen Jinmei would not admit it.
The father and son thanked Yun Qingqing profusely and wanted to give her a large sum of money to express their gratitude, but Yun Qingqing confiscated it and only asked them to do more good deeds to repay their wish.
It was almost midnight when we left the Kang family mansion.
Yun Qingqing sent Lu'e Lianxia back to Tianming Pavilion. She did not go in again and went straight back to the palace.
The second watch has passed.
When she was almost at the palace gate, she saw a figure sitting in a wheelchair at the door from afar.
Dressed in a dark robe, he blended into the night, his handsome face was half light and half dark, mysterious and lonely.
Yun Qingqing paused, and the man was already walking towards her.
