Chapter 83 The Secret of the Su Family Warehouse
The Su family warehouse.
"They're all just gold, silver, and porcelain; they're utterly useless."
Fu Tu casually picked up a vase, looked at it, and then tossed it back.
This place was indeed airtight and pitch black.
Fortunately, he is a vengeful ghost and does not need light, while Qingbao is a judge who can see through all darkness.
“These are necessities for ordinary people, of course you don’t care.” Qingbao picked it up and examined it carefully.
I found many flaws on it.
Forget it, the ones brought by the Fifth Princess are better.
"It's difficult to even breathe here."
Qingbao felt stuffy after only a short while inside.
"Yes, logically speaking, once the door is closed, even a stray cat couldn't survive on this little bit of air, so why..."
Fu Tu looked at the divination he had grabbed in his hand, deep in thought.
It's clearly displayed in this location.
“Someone’s coming.” The resentment that had been shrouding the Su family suddenly sensed something.
Fu Tu waved his hand, and the spreading black mist carried the little guy away from sight.
The warehouse door was opened.
The faint candlelight pierced the darkness, insufficient to illuminate the entire warehouse.
An old woman walked around, lighting the candles all around.
"Madam, please be careful." The old woman carefully helped the old lady in.
Madam Su's steps were unsteady, her face pale and showing some unease.
“The Su family has been having a lot of trouble lately, so I had to come in and take care of the things.”
I won't feel at ease until I've seen it.
The old woman behind him carried the food box, glancing left and right before bringing it in.
A white porcelain vase sat against the wall. Old Madam Su stepped forward and moved it.
Squeak—
The wall slowly opened, and she took the food box from the old woman's hand, instructing the two to wait in the storeroom.
He went in alone.
Two streams of black energy froze the old woman in place.
Fu Tu appeared with Qing Bao, standing in front of them, looking at the entrance to the secret passage.
A wisp of black energy attempted to probe in, but was quickly repelled.
"We can't get in; it's sealed inside."
It's unclear what kind of master placed the seal, but even this thousand-year-old ghost couldn't break it.
"The secret you're looking for is indeed in here," Fu Tu said.
Qingbao's eyes were heavy. "No wonder my great-grandmother and mother said that my mother must obtain power in the General's Mansion. So that's why."
Apart from Old Madam Su, only the head of the family with the family seal can enter the Su family storeroom.
However, there is a powerful seal in the secret passage of the warehouse. Could it be just to seal away two ordinary people?
"Let's go, but don't alert them yet," Qingbao said.
With a wave of his hand, Fu Tu caused the two of them to disappear from the spot.
It was as if nothing had ever happened.
Inside the room.
Two people, one big and one small, appeared out of nowhere.
Qingbao plopped down on the tatami mat, curling up into a tiny ball, and said, "Tell me your conditions."
Fu Tu shrugged. "What are you saying?"
“In your previous life, you were the strongest diviner in the Great Xia Dynasty, a prodigy of the Divination Sect. Now that you have become a vengeful ghost and cultivated for a thousand years, you certainly wouldn’t be without the ability to break the seal.”
Besides fortune telling, diviners also study Qimen Dunjia, the Five Elements and the Eight Trigrams.
That seal will certainly not be a problem for him.
"What do you want to help me break that seal?" Qingbao asked.
If the seal cannot be broken, she will never be able to discover the secrets inside.
This includes the news of the mother's disappearance and the news brought back by Ox-Head and Horse-Face that their souls had vanished in the capital.
"Baby, you're so smart." Fu Tu smiled and casually pinched Qing Bao's little cheek with his big hand.
"As a vengeful ghost, I have remained in the River of Oblivion and have never entered the Underworld, ultimately because of my resentment."
"Years ago, two immortals sought me out, asking me to divine when they would ascend to immortality. I used my cultivation to perform the divination, but they killed me to silence me. You must avenge me..."
Fu Tu knew that this condition would be very difficult for Qing Bao.
However, while he was stuck in the River of Oblivion, he used all his resentment to consult a fortune teller.
His only chance for revenge is to become a three-year-old judge a thousand years later.
So, during Qingbao's ten years in the underworld, he would always play with her to deepen their bond.
Now that he has the leverage and the deal, he no longer needs to talk about feelings.
Qingbao was stunned: "Big brother, are you kidding me? I'm only three years old. How can I avenge you?"
The other party is an immortal.
What secret has this guy discovered that he's going to be killed to silence him?
"You don't need to worry about that. Just promise me, and I'm sure you can help me get revenge." Fu Tu smiled meaningfully.
With those words from him, Qingbao raised her chin and patted her chest.
"I can only do my best. You should go and break the formation."
"No rush, I need to go back to the River of Oblivion first and do some research." Fu Tu said with a smile.
Qingbao jumped up and pinned him down, saying, "You're kidding me."
The small fists landed on the vengeful ghost's handsome cheeks.
Fu Tu was beaten and howled in pain.
Finally, the thousand-year-old vengeful ghost returned to the River of Oblivion, bruised and battered.

The government prison.
"Let me out immediately! I am General Su's wife. Aren't you afraid of being punished by the imperial court for keeping me locked up?"
"Let me out!! Ahhhhh—"
Si Yao let out a sharp scream.
She's been locked up here for three days and three nights!
That old woman from the Si family actually dared to take me to the authorities.
Once she gets out, I'll definitely teach her a lesson.
“Come here!” she said, pointing at a jailer.
The jailer walked over and looked her up and down. "Aren't you annoying, General's wife?"
It's weird and sarcastic.
Since she went to prison, she has been shouting for three days that she is the general's wife.
So what if she's the general's wife? Even the emperor is subject to the same laws as commoners.
"Here, take this and go to the Si family to deliver a message to Madam Si." Si Yao realized that the only person who could save her now was Madam Si.
She doesn't want to stay here for three years.
The jailer took her hairpin and weighed it in his hand.
The next moment.
He turned around and handed the hairpin to the man who came to the prison gate.
Si Zhao was pushed in, holding Si Yao's hairpin in one hand and handing the silver from his purse to the jailer in the other.
Si Yao's eyes widened, "You, you guys..."
You two are actually in cahoots!
"Third brother, you can't treat me like this, Mother will blame you." Si Yao stamped her feet and whined.
She thought Si Zhao would still love her as much as before.
"Mother? Heh." Si Zhao arrived at the prison gate. Although he was sitting, the smile on his face carried a hint of terror.
Si Yao couldn't help but back away, but thankfully there were bars separating them.
"Even if he takes your things out, they won't reach Mother."
He toyed with the hairpin in his hand, as if it were the whisper of a demon.
This hairpin was bought by him for Si Yao.
How ironic.
"Why, why? Mother would never abandon me!" Si Yao's heart sank.
Could it be that her mother is also going to switch sides and become Sihe's person?
"Do you know why your mother didn't come the day you were accused?"
Si Zhao spoke calmly, but his eyes held a surge of anger.
"Why..." Si Yao murmured.
"Because she was locked up by her grandmother, and I... fed her something..."
