"..." A hint of confusion flashed in Qi Sichen's eyes.

He saw nothing.

Apart from the silk pillowcases, there was only the carved headboard; Qi Sichen didn't see any female ghost in red!

Two more?

However, Qi Sichen knew that he didn't need to understand these things; he only needed to order those who did to solve them.

"As long as you cure my young master's illness and drive away those female ghosts, I will reward you handsomely!" Qi Sichen said.

This person casually took out such a large sum of money as a deposit!

His generous reward must have been substantial.

"Mmm-hmm!" Lin Wanyue's smile was exceptionally sincere as she immediately said, "Don't worry, with me here, no matter how many ghosts come to cause trouble, I'll take care of them for you!"

She's a baby who has the underworld as her backer!

Fearless.

Lin Wanyue scanned the entire room again and said, "This room isn't clean; we need to clean it first."

Unexpectedly, the waiter who was fetching water overheard these words and was afraid that the girl's words would ruin his shop's business.

The person staying here now is a big spender, very generous.

"Young lady, don't talk nonsense. Our shop is cleaned spotlessly every day," the waiter said, somewhat displeased.

Lin Wanyue raised her head and her gaze fell on the waiter.

She was young and had a delicate, youthful face, making her appear innocent and adorable on ordinary days.

But at this moment, her gaze was sharp, as if she saw something else through the waiter's body.

"..." The waiter felt a little uneasy under her gaze: "Young lady, what are you looking at? My clothes are clean and new, I changed into them today, they're definitely not dirty!"

"You have too many ghosts on you. I'm thinking about what cheap way to exorcise them?" Lin Wanyue touched her chin, looking thoughtful.

While she hadn't yet come up with a solution, Qi Sichen used an even more convenient method.

He turned his head and coldly said to the waiter, "Get out, and don't come back in!"

"...Yes, yes, yes!" Seeing that his master was angry, the waiter dared not argue for himself any further.

He put down the bucket of water he was holding and hurriedly ran out.

“Take this thing out with you!” Qi Sichen added.

The waiter rushed over again, carried the bucket out, and thoughtfully closed the door behind him.

The female ghosts who had been possessing the waiter and peeking around were also locked outside the door.

This is indeed a simple and cost-effective method.

Lin Wanyue sighed inwardly.

I just don't really care whether the waiter lives or dies.

After kicking the waiter out, Qi Sichen waved to the people next to him, and except for two trusted confidants, all the other maids and guards were driven outside.

"You just said... that the young master fell ill because he encountered a ghost? But how could the waiter have one on him?" Qi Sichen then asked Lin Wanyue.

The child lying in bed had been ill for months since the capital. He had sought out renowned doctors, but to no avail. He had thought of taking the child to Jiangnan for some fresh air, but unexpectedly, he heard of Lin Wanyue's reputation on the way. So, he decided to try anything, even if it seemed hopeless, and brought the child over for a checkup.

Unexpectedly, they actually made some gains.

However, if the child's illness was indeed caused by a female ghost, then it must be a female ghost from the capital.

How could Lin Wanyue possibly see that in that waiter?

Am I just fooling myself?

Children don't lie, but they do talk nonsense!

Qi Sichen narrowed his eyes dangerously. If this girl was really talking nonsense, then even if he could let her go, he couldn't let those who spread the rumors off easily!

"Hmm..." Lin Wanyue didn't catch the probing meaning in Qi Sichen's words and said frankly, "Because there are too many, there are so many female ghosts in this room!"

“One, two, three, four… twenty-eight.” Lin Wanyue looked at Qi Sichen with her clear and bright eyes and said, “There are twenty-eight female ghosts here, and some more are floating outside.”

"What?" Qi Sichen exclaimed in horror. "Where did so many female ghosts come from? What do they want?"

"I don't know," Lin Wanyue said honestly.

Although she could indeed communicate with ghosts, the female ghost in the room showed no intention of communicating with her and always did some strange things.

For example, he would cry to her with red eyes, his tears almost soaking the entire bed.

For example, the guy who repeatedly performed suicide in front of her with a knife, sometimes cutting his own neck, sometimes stabbing his own chest with a dagger decorated with countless sparkling gems.

Some of them are even noisier than the roosters in the village, screaming at the top of their lungs.

Of course, there were also quite a few who muttered to themselves.

The jumbled sounds made it impossible for Lin Wanyue to understand what they were saying or why they insisted on staying by the little boy's side.

"But they do seem quite wealthy. Although two of them were dressed in plain white clothes, most of them were dressed in brocade and silk, and they had so many hairpins on their heads. They didn't seem to have any headaches," Lin Wanyue said curiously.

The boy lying on the bed unconsciously curled up in pain.

Qi Sichen quickly looked at him, his expression extremely worried. Regardless of whether Lin Wanyue was telling the truth or not, he hurriedly said, "What should we do? Can you get them to leave my young master as soon as possible so he can get better quickly?"

Seeing how worried Qi Sichen looked, Lin Wanyue figured the young man lying on the bed couldn't possibly be her young master.

It must be his son, right?

Rich people are really strange...

However, this had nothing to do with Lin Wanyue, so she nodded. She didn't want to see such a handsome young man get sick and suffer.

She first used a gentler method, taking a small magic item from her sleeve with a "thump".

The twenty-eight female ghosts in the room, who had been acting crazy and noisy just moments before, became much quieter after the loud "thump."

Lin Wanyue tried to communicate with them, urging them to hurry up and be reincarnated in the underworld so as not to harm people.

But to her surprise, after hearing her words, the female ghosts all started laughing. Some of their laughter was sharp and sarcastic, like fingernails scratching on metal, making a sizzling sound. Others laughed heartily and loudly, meaning their laughter could almost penetrate the entire roof.

So many strange laughs mixed together, gradually coalescing into a single sentence.

Why should we leave?

"Why should a little girl like you decide our existence?"

"Who do you think you are? Just a little brat!"

"Just you."

"A country girl with no family background! You're not even worthy to be my lowly servant girl! Do you even deserve it?"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The ghosts' laughter was so rampant that the boy in the blanket was so agitated that he began to tremble.
