Guo Hao blushed when asked the question.
They were all direct descendants of prominent families. Although they were known for their romantic escapades and unrestrained behavior, in reality, their families strictly controlled matters between men and women.
The fear is that they might have affairs and father children, thus ruining the family line.
Therefore, they would only hug the beauty, kiss her a couple of times, and at most, the beauty would pounce on them and try to relieve their desire. They would never dare to actually go all the way.
But I can't tell anyone about this.
What's more, this person is Jiang Qingwan.
He cleared his throat awkwardly.
"He...he's actually alright."
Jiang Qingwan looked at him with her clear, cold eyes, as if to say, "Keep making this up."
Guo Hao felt as embarrassed as if someone had pulled down his pants in the street.
He scratched his head, panting.
"Just tell me if you can save me. If you really can't, I'll think of something else. I can't let the old man smother me with a stick and send me to the Huo family to apologize."
Jiang Qingwan was too lazy to ask any further questions.
"It can be saved, five thousand taels."
Gao Yuchuan's eyes widened in surprise.
"Five thousand taels, young lady, you're too daring..."
Guo Hao grabbed him.
"Five thousand taels, I'll give it to you."
Jiang Qingwan stretched out her small hand, "Pay first, then save the person."
Although Guo Hao was a playboy who always carried a lot of silver in his purse, he didn't have five thousand taels at once.
Without hesitation, he turned to Gao Yuchuan and shouted, "Go outside and get people to raise the money, put it in my account, and pay them back tomorrow."
Gao Yuchuan looked at Jiang Qingwan's unbelievably beautiful face and didn't believe it at all.
"Young Marquis, you'd be willing to spend a fortune to make a beauty smile, but now is not the time. What if Huo Zhen really dies..."
"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up. Young Lady Jiang has plenty of skills."
Guo Hao kicked him impatiently.
For some reason, he just felt that Jiang Qingwan would definitely do what she said.
Having no other choice, Gao Yuchuan stomped his foot and turned to raise money.
With Guo Hao as guarantor, the money was raised quickly, and several money bags were filled with scattered banknotes and loose silver.
Jiang Qingwan gestured for Qinghui to put it away.
They asked Huo Zhen's birth date and time again.
Gao Yuchuan was a good keeper of memories, and he clearly stated the year, month, and hour.
Jiang Qingwan then walked to the bedside, used two fingers to pull off Huo Zhen's loose belt, and then used her spiritual power to write his birth date and time on the belt. She then had Guo Hao cut a lock of Huo Zhen's hair and tie it to the belt.
"Go get me a wine jar, one that can be sealed."
Gao Yuchuan immediately went to do it.
He quickly came in carrying an empty wine jar.
Jiang Qingwan opened the stopper of the wine jar, threw in the belt that tied her hair, and then dripped a drop of her own fingertip blood into it.
The moment the spiritual energy suddenly condensed, the entanglement that was clinging to Huo Zhen pounced over at lightning speed.
"receive!"
Jiang Qingwan gave a sharp shout, and as the wine jar was filled with wine, she immediately put the stopper on.
"He's in my arms."
Before Gao Yuchuan could react, he felt as if a living creature had suddenly been put into the empty wine jar, struggling desperately to break free.
He was so frightened that his legs went weak and he almost threw the wine jar away.
Guo Hao reacted quickly, pressing his hands against the edge of the wine jar and holding on tightly with him.
At the same time, Jiang Qingwan had already drawn the talisman and slapped it onto the stopper.
The wine jar shook more rapidly, and a piercing roar could be heard, as if a vengeful ghost was truly trapped inside, drawing the attention of everyone outside who peered over to see what was happening.
Gao Yuchuan and Guo Hao clung tightly to the wine jar, holding their breath in fear, their faces pale.
The entire cabin was eerily quiet; not a single person spoke.
After a while, the wine jar stopped shaking.
Guo Hao swallowed hard and looked at Jiang Qingwan, who was washing her hands with water that Qinghui had brought her.
"Have the ghosts... been destroyed?"
Jiang Qingwan was too lazy to explain what a chang was, and simply gave a faint "hmm".
Gao Yuchuan looked at Huo Zhen on the bed.
"Then why hasn't he woken up yet?"
At this moment, he had no doubts about Jiang Qingwan at all; he just asked the question subconsciously.
Jiang Qingwan took a handkerchief and carefully wiped her hands. She looked up and saw Qing Sui raise her small face towards the bed.
Qing Sui was fine with everything, so she picked up the basin and splashed it directly at the other person.
The river water was very cold.
The shock jolted Huo Zhen awake instantly.
He opened his eyes and cried out urgently, "My beauty, my beauty."
His gaze fixed on Jiang Qingwan's face, which was exquisitely beautiful and possessed a cool and aloof air.
In the vivid and bizarre dream, the alluring woman seemed to instantly take on a clear form.
He reached out his hand to Jiang Qingwan with a fascination.
"My beauty."
"Clap clap clap clap!"
Qing Sui slapped him four times across the face without hesitation.
His face swelled up instantly from the beating.
Guo Hao made Gao Yuchuan carry the wine jar himself, then rushed over and slapped him twice more.
"Beauty my foot! She's your savior. You dare to even dream about her? I haven't dared to."
Huo Zhen covered his face, looking pitiful after being beaten.
His mind gradually cleared, and he scrambled off the bed, his legs giving way so much that he knelt down beside it, his eyes filled with horror.
"The female ghost, that female ghost is here again."
Guo Hao crossed his arms and looked at him with schadenfreude.
"You were having so much fun cuddling with that female ghost just now, your waist was moving faster than a rowing oar. Now you're scared. If I hadn't called Jiang Xiaoniangzi to help you get rid of the ghost, you would have been drained dry by her long ago."
"Also, it cost a total of five thousand taels, and you can't get away with spending a single coin."
