Chapter 93 Vicious
After hearing the man's confession, everyone was a little sad and didn't know what to say.
"Tsk!" Lin Qingyue spoke. "An incompetent man is incompetent no matter the circumstances. Even if it's monogamy, do you think a man like you can get married? Don't be ridiculous. Women are not objects. Can monogamy just give you everything you need?"
"Even if there are reforms in the future and men are prohibited from taking concubines, what will happen?"
"Lust is a bad habit in men. Unless they have no financial resources or are very morally upright, they will still cheat and have extramarital affairs."
Hong Yao agreed after hearing this, "That's right! All men in the world are unfaithful. The reason you, a resentful ghost, hate taking concubines is simply because you can't get one. If you were rich and powerful, you would also have multiple wives and concubines, and would never settle down! Men like this should all be killed! Kill them all!"
"Hey, hey!" Xie Shouzheng yelled, "Don't stir up hatred like this! I may be a man, but I'm absolutely serious. I only want to be a good person who does his job well!"
Dongfang Qi also silently added: "I am also a serious person and I will never be unfaithful."
Lin Qingyue didn't want to delve into this matter any further.
This is a relatively widespread social problem that cannot be resolved overnight or by one individual.
All they can resolve at this moment is the ghost in front of them.
"No matter what you were like in life, now that you've become a ghost, you can no longer interfere with the normal order of the living world. Let go of your obsessions and report to the underworld yourself."
Zhang Goudan's ghost said, "But I still can't accept this. I haven't married yet, and I haven't truly been a man in my life. How can I die like this?"
Xie Shouzheng asked: "Then what do you want?"
Zhang Goudan rubbed his ghost hands together and said, "I see you all seem very capable. Can you help me officiate a ghost marriage? That way, I'll have a companion in the underworld."
"No!" Lin Qingyue refused coldly, "If you hadn't committed a serious crime, perhaps I could consider helping you fulfill your wish. But, you've hurt someone!"
Some of the innocent women who were possessed by him hurt their husbands while they were unconscious. One can imagine how their future life will be like in their husband's family.
Another woman was so frightened that she became insane and was sent back to her parents' home by her husband's family to demand the return of her betrothal money. Finally, the poor girl committed suicide by jumping into the river.
How innocent are they? Why should they bear such a disaster?
"I'll count to three. Either you go to the underworld on your own, or I'll scatter your soul!" Lin Qingyue was too lazy to waste words with him. She didn't have that much sympathy.
"one."
Zhang Goudan was still arguing: "How about letting me spend one night with this concubine? Anyway, the men in his family will never be able to be men again, I..."
"Three!" Lin Qingyue swung her palm and the ghost was shattered before it could even scream.
Hong Yao was shocked: Aren't they government officials? How could they act so cruelly?
Xie Shouzheng was stunned: "You haven't called out 'two' yet..."
Lin Qingyue said, "He talks too much."
Xie Shouzheng: "...No, we can obviously save him. Even if he is wrong, he can still settle the accounts in the underworld. There is no need to be so cruel, right? If you don't know, you would think you have a grudge against him."
Lin Qingyue said, "I have no grudge against him. It's just that people like him will be tortured even in the underworld. They won't even be reborn as an animal in their next life. It's better to break them up and put an end to it all."
Xie Shouzheng whispered, "But you are a public official after all, so you should act according to the law."
Lin Qingyue said, "That was in the capital. Now we are wandering sorcerers who have come here—right, brother?"
What can Dongfang Qi say?
"You're right, sister."
Xie Shouzheng: “…” It makes me look like a pedantic person!
As the ghosts disappeared, the problems that had plagued Jade Town for a long time were also resolved.
The proprietress begged Xie Shouzheng and Hongyao to help her carry the injured person back into the house, and she also sent her domestic helpers to invite a doctor to treat the patient.
The concubine who had been possessed was still in a coma and was carried back to the room by Hongyao.
When the proprietress saw the concubine, she asked worriedly, "When will she wake up?"
"Tomorrow." Hong Yao glanced at Lin Qingyue secretly while speaking.
Just now, Hong Yao inadvertently saw Lin Qingyue quietly clearing some of the memory of the unconscious girl. This way, when she woke up, she would not remember being possessed by the ghost tonight, and her mind would not be affected by it.
He ruthlessly dealt with the ghost one moment, and helped the girl the next.
Lin Qingyue - what kind of person is she?
The proprietress sighed, "My husband has become like that. I guess he won't want women anymore. Tomorrow, when the girl wakes up, she can decide whether to stay or go."
Hong Yao asked, "She almost stole your husband. Don't you hate her?"
The landlady said, "Why should I hate a little girl like her? It's my husband who wants a concubine, and if he doesn't have her, there are others. How can I vent my anger on her? Oh, why do women have to make things difficult for other women?"
Seeing that Lin Qingyue and the others were about to leave, the proprietress hurriedly chased after them:
"I'm really grateful to you all tonight, otherwise I don't know how this disaster would have turned out! I don't have anything else at home, just the jade jewelry in the shop that is worth some money..."
As she spoke, she took out a jade bracelet from the counter and handed it to Lin Qingyue: "When you came into the store earlier, I saw you were looking at this bracelet. I gave it to you to try on for fun."
Afraid that Lin Qingyue wouldn't buy it, the proprietress added, "These white jades aren't worth much. I heard that red jade has been unearthed from the mines recently, and that's a priceless treasure. Unfortunately, the supply is too limited, and a small shop like ours simply can't buy them."
As she spoke, she picked out a white jade hairpin for Hong Yao and said, "If you don't mind, take it and wear it."
Hongyao was surprised: "I have it too?"
She was following Lin Qingyue and the others, but was actually a captive. After she had avenged Miao Dong, she would go to Xuan Jingsi to be executed.
The proprietress probably didn't know his identity and thought he was a companion of Lin Qingyue and the others, so she gave him a gift to express her gratitude.
She was about to refuse, but she heard Lin Qingyue say, "Take it and go. It's getting late. Let's find an inn to rest."
Anyway, I did contribute, so I should accept the thank you gift. Integrity—it doesn't exist.
Dongfang Qi also smiled and said, "Take it." But when he turned and left, he quietly dropped two ingots of silver.
On the way out, Hong Yao rode on her horse, looking down at the white jade hairpin she had just received.
She couldn't help but think of her own experience. Because she was harmed by a man, she hated all humans and even wanted to improve her cultivation by eating them.
But among humans, there are extremely evil people, there are also virtuous women like the proprietress, and there are also talented people like Lin Qingyue who are powerful but willing to protect the weak.
Therefore, it was really wrong for me to vent my anger on others in the past!
After pondering for a long time, she raised her eyes to Lin Qingyue in the carriage and said, "Although I spent several years in the market, I was blinded by love and didn't truly understand human nature. I have benefited greatly tonight. Thank you, Miss Lin."
The car curtain swayed, and a lazy voice came from inside: "You should be thankful that your hands are not stained with the blood of innocent people, otherwise you would end up like the ghost just now."
"Yes, I'm very glad!" Even thinking back on it now, she felt a little scared: Fortunately, no big mistake was made!
