Yuan Qi understood: Wang Qiushu had cheated on Wang Douhua, killed her afterward, and then went back to pleasing his wife.
How can you lock up someone like that? Yuan Qi really dislikes him.
She performed a hand seal and opened the Yin eyes of the couple.
"Come in."
At this time, there was nothing dirty in the room, so Wang Qiushu naturally couldn't see Cuihua and her son. He was a little puzzled and couldn't understand what Yuan Qi was doing.
Wang Qiushu stepped forward and stopped Yuan Qi: "Young Taoist priest, what are you doing? Who are you letting in?"
Wang Douhua also realized that this was not a simple matter. She stepped forward and grabbed Wang Qiushu's arm: "What have you been hiding from me?"
As Yuan Qi watched the happiness on Wang Douhua's face be replaced by worry, she sensed something was wrong and her expression turned sad.
Wang Qiushu was at a loss: "Madam, don't think nonsense. What is that young Taoist priest talking about? She's so young and doesn't have any real skills. She's probably just trying to scare people and cheat them out of money. I'll send her away right now."
At this moment, Cuihua walked in, holding her son's hand, and stood in front of the three of them, soaking wet.
“Young Master…” She gazed longingly at Wang Qiushu, her eyes devoid of any resentment or blame.
Wang Qiushu was in a panic, not knowing where to put his hands. He knew that Cuihua had committed suicide by jumping into the well and was already dead. Moreover, he had filled the well with soil, making it the burial place for the mother and son.
He also plans to move away and live somewhere else in a few days.
Unexpectedly, Cuihua appeared in front of him with her son, and he immediately realized that he could see Cuihua and her son.
He hurriedly explained to Wang Douhua, "Madam, listen to me, it's not what you think, she's the one who's been pestering me."
Wang Douhua stared at Cuihua for a long time. A blurry figure appeared in her mind. In her hometown, this girl had not yet had children and often appeared near her home. She had also bumped into Wang Qiushu talking to her a few times.
"Who are you?" Wang Douhua's tone became sharp as she pressed Cuihua for answers. She stared at the little boy, who was just over a year old, her gaze lingering on him.
The little boy shrank back and hid behind Cuihua.
Today, with Yuan Qi present, both ghosts have become more restrained and wary. Normally, Cuihua and her son have never been afraid and would dare to cause trouble in broad daylight.
Cuihua glared at Wang Douhua fiercely, hating her intensely.
“Madam, this servant is Cuihua. I have been serving the young master since I was a few years old, for more than ten years now. When the Wang family fell from power, I gained my freedom and made a living by doing odd jobs. But every copper coin I earned was spent on the young master. When the young master went to the capital to take the imperial examination, I came with him. The young master and I were very much in love. During the three years in the capital, I served the young master and had Tao’er. The young master said that he only felt gratitude towards you and no love for you. If it weren’t for your family supporting his studies, he would not have given you a second glance.”
Cuihua looked at Wang Douhua with utter disdain, as if he were a tattered rag.
Wang Douhua trembled all over. She didn't believe a word Cuihua said: "You're talking nonsense. My husband loves me very much. Since we got married, he has always been obedient to me and coaxed me in everything. He is very considerate to me. After I came to the capital, he didn't let me do any work at all."
Wang Qiushu immediately chimed in, "That's right, Madam, don't listen to her nonsense. She has served me for several years, but I find her very annoying. She even followed me to the capital without any hesitation, and I couldn't get rid of her no matter what I did."
He angrily pointed at Cuihua and asked, "Tell me, aren't you shamelessly following me around?"
The little water ghost stepped forward and tugged at Wang Qiushu's official robe: "Daddy, hug me."
Cuihua gave a cold, chilling snort: "I've been shamelessly following you and clinging to you, but young master, if you really don't want to, how could I get pregnant with your son? How could I give you a son?"
Wang Douhua watched the two of them talking back and forth, trembling, and she understood what was going on.
She stepped forward and slapped Cuihua across the face: "You shameless slut, how dare you seduce my man! I'll beat you to death!"
Because Cuihua was already a ghost, Wang Douhua's slap passed through her body and did not hit her.
Seeing that the couple were no good, Cuihua's body surged with dark energy. She grabbed her son and pulled him back, becoming fierce and sinister. The temperature in the room dropped several degrees, and Wang Qiushu and Wang Douhua both felt cold.
Yuan Qi was also confused. Clearly, both her husband and Cuihua were at fault, yet she didn't blame Wang Qiushu but only beat Cuihua. What was her mentality? Did she intend to forgive Wang Qiushu in the future and continue living with him?
She really couldn't understand Wang Douhua.
They also couldn't understand Cuihua.
Cuihua knew perfectly well that there would be no good outcome with Wang Qiushu, but she still willingly followed him without any official status.
Wang Qiushu was terrified when he saw the black aura churning around Cuihua. He shielded Wang Douhua and scolded Cuihua, "Quickly put away the black aura! The young Taoist priest is here. If you continue to do evil, the young Taoist priest will punish you!"
Upon hearing this, Cuihua's black aura surged even more violently, and continued to spread towards Wang Qiushu. She mocked him, "Wang Qiushu, you are a heartless person. What did you say when you first took me as your concubine?"
Wang Qiushu felt a little guilty, his eyes darting around. He felt even colder, and his teeth started chattering. He unconsciously moved closer to Yuan Qi and said, "I told you before that if I passed the exam, I would make you my mistress and give you one tael of silver a month. I wouldn't mistreat you. When my wife comes, I will discuss this matter with her and give you a proper status. It was you who refused and committed suicide by jumping into the well. Why are you blaming me now?"
"Did I agree? I didn't agree! I've served you for so many years, how much money have I given you all these years? In the end, you want me to be a mistress, a mistress that everyone hates? I won't do it! Making me a concubine is already too much for me, and you still want me to be a mistress? Wang Duhua is just a wonton seller, a lowly merchant. How much better is she than me? She just has a few stinking coins. Why should she be your wife? I won't do it!"
"Young Taoist priest, young Taoist priest, help me..." Wang Qiushu saw that the black aura was about to engulf him, so he hurriedly asked Yuan Qi for help.
Yuan Qi stood up and slowly tossed out a talisman to suppress evil spirits.
Cuihua screamed and the black mist immediately disappeared, and even the room became a bit warmer. She didn't want to deal with the troublesome family disputes.
“Cuihua, take the child to the underworld. Before you commit any sins, I can ask the ghost messengers to pull some strings and let you and your child be reborn into a better family in your next life.”
