Chapter 74 The Acting Ghost



Qian Huailin continued to dodge and curse for over a minute until the fake Wan Niang finally couldn't take it anymore:

"It's all your fault for ruining my plans! If that disgusting sissy hadn't fallen into the well, my formation would have succeeded long ago!"

Upon hearing this, everyone outside the door simultaneously turned their gaze to Chunhua.

Chunhua was confused and even a little shy: "Oh, why are you all looking at me like that? I'm so embarrassed."

Wang Dahai quickly reached out and hugged Chunhua, saying, "What are you doing?! I'm warning you! Huahua is mine!"

Chunhua nestled into Wang Dahai's arms, playfully punching him with her little paws.

Seeing that the two were about to get all lovey-dovey again, Ji Qian quickly suppressed her nausea and interrupted, "Chunhua, do you remember how you got into the well?"

Upon hearing this, Chunhua peeked half her head out from Wang Dahai's arms, her large bear eyes looking remarkably innocent:

"At that time, a group of people suddenly broke into the house. They remembered that the lady was still in the backyard, so they hurriedly ran over to report the news."

As it turns out, some mischievous person spilled water near the well, and the person slipped and fell in.

“That’s not right,” Zhao Chengyuan frowned, “Weren’t your arms and legs broken?”

"That happened after they died. Those bad guys were really weird; they specifically pulled people out of the water and broke their arms and legs. I was right there watching, and it hurt so much, waaaaah~"

Chunhua started crying as she spoke, and Wang Dahai quickly hugged her tightly, comforting her while glaring at everyone except Ji Qian.

Ji Qian wanted to ask more questions, but then she heard Qian Huailin's screams coming from the courtyard:

"Aaaaaaah! I've killed a demon! Aaaaaah! Come in quick, I can't take it anymore!!"

Ji Qian rushed in and saw Qian Huailin perched on the courtyard wall as soon as she entered, with Jia Wanniang jumping up and down to grab his leg.

With a flick of her left hand, Ji Qian sent the kitchen knife flying like an arrow, striking the fake Wan Niang squarely in the back of the head.

Blood gushed out like a fountain. The fake Wan Niang ignored her cries of pain and turned around to look for the murderer, but as soon as she turned around, she was met with another kitchen knife.

The fake Wan Niang panicked for a moment and hurriedly tried to retreat, but Ji Qian took the opportunity to cut off both of her arms.

Before she could even react, Ji Qian swiftly severed both of her legs with a swift and fluid motion, so much so that even the previous victim, Qian Huailin, couldn't help but applaud.

The fake Wan Niang was trapped on the spot, unable to move. He decisively changed his strategy, and his eyes were already filled with tears as he opened and closed them, showing no trace of his fierce appearance just now:

“Girl, this man looks respectable, but he’s always out fooling around and never home, leaving me alone at home to take care of his parents and children.”

I've been married into their family for over twenty years, working tirelessly for them, yet I'm still being falsely accused of having an affair. This is outrageous!

Even in death, this man won't let me live in peace. He's even deceiving outsiders to try and kill me. Girl, please don't be fooled by him!

The fake Wan Niang spoke with tears streaming down her face, as if she were sobbing and lamenting. If it weren't for the crisscrossing burns on her face, she might have truly had the visual effect of a pear blossom in the rain.

Unfortunately, looking at this overly complicated face, Ji Qian, who considered herself a sucker for good looks, felt no emotion whatsoever.

Over the years, Ji Qian has seen countless pitiful ghosts. Fortunately, most of these ghosts have a sinister and terrifying appearance, otherwise she would probably be lying in the belly of some evil spirit by now.

However, seeing that the fake Wan Niang wanted to play the role, Ji Qian was actually quite tempted, after all, it had been a long time since she had received a role with more than three lines of dialogue:

"Huh? But he said you ate his older brother, and he's here to get revenge on you?"

Fortunately, there were no TV dramas in ancient times, otherwise Ji Qian's superficial acting skills would have been exposed in a second.

Looking at Ji Qian's expression, the fake Wan Niang thought the girl was quite naive, revealing her secret so easily:

"It was clearly him who ate his older brother to improve his cultivation. He was a madman who would do anything for cultivation in his lifetime!"

If I hadn't run fast and hidden in the backyard, I probably would have been killed by him like my older brother and sister-in-law, sob sob sob.

It has to be said that the fake Wan Niang's acting skills are much better than Ji Qian's; she's clearly an experiential actor.

Overwhelmed with emotion, she even tried to wipe her tears with Ji Qian's trouser leg, but Ji Qian subtly dodged her.

Ji Qian glanced down at her trouser hem, making sure it wasn't stained, before speaking again:

"But he also said that you had an affair while he was away from home and had a son of unknown origin?"

Seeing that she believed her story, the fake Wan Niang was secretly pleased, but on the surface she looked furious and ashamed: "He's making baseless accusations! Everyone at home saw him stay there that time. I never leave the house, so how could there be any talk of adultery?!"

"He said you went to stay at the temple for a while and found a monk..."

"I did that to pray for his well-being! Besides, Jingxuan was already a month old at the time, so the idea of ​​him having a child out of wedlock is utter nonsense!"

The fake Wan Niang became more and more agitated as she spoke, and even her eyes began to redden with emotion.

If Ji Qian hadn't been eavesdropping outside the courtyard, she might have actually believed her. What a pity!

"But he also said that you are not his wife, but someone else impersonating her?"

Upon hearing this, the fake Wan Niang immediately realized what was happening. He glared angrily at Ji Qian, his voice no longer as gentle and graceful as before, but rather hoarse, sounding somewhat like a man's at first glance.

"You bastard, you dare to play me for a fool!"

Seeing that the fake Wan Niang had stopped acting, Ji Qian didn't hold back and kicked him to the ground, stepping on his stomach and looking down defiantly.

"How was it? Were you both surprised and delighted?"

Fake Wan Niang was so angry that her teeth itched. She opened her mouth to bite Ji Qian's leg, but Ji Qian dodged and she missed, leaving only two rows of teeth that were numb from the force of her bite.

Once Ji Qian was certain that he couldn't cause any more trouble, she raised her hand and called in the others who were still waiting outside the courtyard.

As soon as Madam Qian entered, she rushed over, kicking the fake Wan Niang's head repeatedly while shouting and cursing:

"You bastard, how dare you impersonate my daughter-in-law! Where is Wan Niang? You want some nonsense, and you even need my family's formation! Are you even human?! I'll curse your entire family and ancestors!"

Watching Madam Qian angrily berate the fake Wan Niang, Director Liu could imagine how this scene would be censored into some kind of telegraph machine scene when it aired.

Ignoring Madam Qian, who was still venting her anger, Han Mengyao walked over to the fake Wan Niang and whispered a threat:

"You'd better tell the truth, and we might be lenient with you. Otherwise, this..."

Han Mengyao pointed at Ji Qian, who understood and took out the ten arms and two legs that had been cut off earlier, posing them like a peacock spreading its tail.

Seeing this, Han Mengyao turned around with satisfaction and continued, "You've witnessed her fighting prowess, how about you also see what it means to tear apart a demon with your bare hands?"
