Chapter 107, Old Mrs. Su's Devilish Secret
Si He took a small step back.
The abbot before me was not as gentle as I had seen before.
The abbot waved his hand at Si He.
When Si He opened her eyes, she found herself on the back mountain of Zhenguo Temple.
The peach blossoms were in full bloom in April, and the petals fluttered down, catching a few on Si He's hair and shoulders.
She looked at the abbot with a puzzled expression.
The abbot said, "You must be very curious as to why I gave that look just now."
"This old monk has long since seen through the seven emotions and six desires, but..."
"But the actions of those two men have made this old monk..."
He seemed to have reached his limit, then closed his eyes and said, "Go into that courtyard."
Inside, there is a glimpse of the truth she has been searching for.
Si He noticed that the fortune slip in her hand was glowing slightly.
The abbot reached out, and the peace charm that Si He was holding was in the abbot's hand.
The abbot said, "Go."
Si He walked over with some doubt, and when she arrived at the courtyard gate, she took a deep breath.
Then, push it open—

When Qingbao and Futu arrived at Zhenguo Temple, they saw their mother's carriage but no one was there.
"Did you see the old lady come?" Qingbao asked the coachman.
The driver shook his head. "No, I won't see him."
"And what about my mother?" Qingbao asked again.
The coachman said, "They've gone to see the abbot; he must have something to ask."
“Little fellow.” Fu Tu floated openly in front of the Buddhist temple, his gaze gentle.
But it still scared a lot of people.
"Can't you conjure up some feet? Can't you walk?" Qingbao glared at him fiercely, her little face puffed up with anger.
I originally wanted to keep a low profile, but what if I accidentally scared a few ordinary people to death? Would they still have any good karma?
Fu Tu let out a soft "Oh," and sure enough, two feet grew out from under his robes.
Qingbao turned her head and looked.
They discovered that the driver had fainted from fright.
"It's all your fault!" Qingbao said angrily, sticking out her little foot and stomping on his foot.
Fu Tu felt no pain at all and even found it somewhat amusing. He said, "Your mother is already searching for the truth. Let's go find Old Madam Su first."
Which little brat was it that just now said so aggressively that he would never let Old Madam Su go?
How come you forget everything the moment you see your mother?
Qingbao plopped down. "Didn't you say she would come to Zhenguo Temple? Then we can just wait here."
Fu Tu floated in front of her and said with a smile, "As the saying goes, a cunning rabbit has three burrows."
Even if he had foreseen Madam Su's thoughts at the time, wouldn't Madam Su's thoughts change halfway through?
They had been waiting here for a long time, and since the Su family's carriage had not appeared, they could no longer sit idly by and wait for their doom.
Qingbao stood up again in a flash.
The junior judge's execution ability is beyond doubt.
With a serious expression, she said, "Since she won't show up, let's gather evidence of her evil deeds, let the mortal realm judge her, and then send her to the underworld!"
This is a necessary procedure.
If Qingbao were to kill her without cause, it would be a violation of the human order.
Fu Tu raised his eyebrows and said, "You child, I've had high hopes for you since you were little."
He did some quick calculations and said, "I can only tell you that she has been offering these tributes for eight years."
Qingbao fell into deep thought:
"Eight years later, Su Xiao's father became a general and moved to the capital, exactly eight years later."
“She would never dare to prey on girls in the capital, especially those from the General’s Mansion, because their position is unstable. If someone finds fault with them, they will surely be destroyed…”
“So…” Qingbao looked at Futu.
Fu Tu said, "Are the victims all in the surrounding villages?"
Qingbao nodded, "That's the only possibility, and the only place where she can easily make her move and has a base of operations must be Sujia Village."
Back then, even the eighth aunt of Sujia Village could be manipulated by Old Madam Su.
Then it's not impossible for others to obey her orders.
"Let's go." Fu Tu tried to get used to being an ordinary person and went to take the little guy's hand.
But Qingbao is an independent baby; she doesn't need to be led and walks straight ahead.
"Want to go to Su Family Village? I'll take you flying!" Fu Tu said with a smile.
Qingbao shook her head. "No, let's go to the villages around Sujia Village."
She was certain that, given Madam Su's status, she would never dare to harm the children of her own clan.
Just as Qingbao was about to summon the Judge's Pen to fly away, Fu Tu scooped her up and held her in his arms.
The two were then carried away by the dense black mist.
Qingbao looked up to the sky and roared, "Can't you really be a little more low-key?"
Such a dark mass would be considered an evil spirit and exterminated in the human world!
Fu Tu shrugged: "The strength is what it is, there's nothing we can do about it."

Sujia Village.
"The old lady is shrewd; Qingbao would never know you were here..."
Old Madam Su and Granny Su looked at the dilapidated courtyard in front of them, and a smug smile appeared on their lips.
"A three-year-old child is nothing to worry about," said Madam Su with a smile.
This courtyard is where Si He's family used to live.
Granny Su sighed softly, "What a pity. Eighth Aunt died here back then. If she were still alive, we would have had another scapegoat."
Aunt Ba, such a fool, died at the worst possible time. If she had died now, she could have saved them from disaster.
"Eighth Aunt isn't here, but there's still Fifth Aunt, Sixth Aunt, and Seventh Aunt. They're all sisters-in-law, all the same."
Old Madam Su sneered, seemingly not taking Eighth Aunt's life seriously.
She came here knowing there would be a scapegoat.
"Oh, Madam, what brings you here?" At that moment.
A fawning voice rang out.
Madam Su turned her head and smiled at them.
Fourth Aunt and Sixth Aunt exchanged a glance, and seeing her smile, they understood something.
"This...it's not the appointed time yet, why are you asking for it already..." Aunt Si quietly walked over and whispered.
His narrowed, triangular eyes held a hint of malice.
Aunt Liu also came closer and said in a low voice,
"Yes, the surrounding villages are all on high alert now. We've searched around so many times, but it's hard to find any girls. It would be great if it were boys..."
"At this critical juncture, could you please ask the immortals for some time?" Aunt Si said.
Madam Su smiled gently, "Don't worry, I'm not here to rush you."
The two aunts breathed a sigh of relief.
"But something unexpected happened recently, so we need to clear out the back mountain. Otherwise, if we're discovered, we..."
Madam Su spoke softly.
Fourth Aunt and Sixth Aunt's eyes widened in alarm. "What happened?"
Madam Su smiled and shook her head, taking out the gift from the immortal. "It's nothing serious, just something the immortal instructed."
Destroy all the evidence, and if Qingbao dares to touch her, she will surely be condemned by everyone.
"Alright, I'll go back and call someone right away." Aunt Liu turned around and went to call someone.
But Old Madam Su stopped them, saying, "Don't let too many people know. Let's go up the mountain and dig it ourselves."
They nodded.
The four old women took the hoes from the Sihe courtyard and a tinderbox, and went to the back mountain.
