Chapter 222: Ghost King's Husband (7)
The two kissed for a long time before separating. Because of such intimacy, Bai Su's mood was calmed down a lot at this moment.
Seeing his lover calm down, Chen Tian quickly seized the opportunity to explain, "Bai Su, please listen to my explanation. How could I possibly like such a vain and fickle woman?
It's just that I was a good student before, and after I passed the imperial examination, my aunt kept hinting that I could marry my cousin. But I had no romantic feelings for my cousin at all, so there was no way I would agree.
You should know that I like you. And before you, I have never had feelings for anyone else. "
Chen Tian didn't care whether the original owner had feelings for Su Miaoxuan or not. Anyway, there was no engagement between the original owner and Su Miaoxuan, nor any close contact. As for what she thought in her heart, that didn't count. Naturally, she would just follow what Chen Tian said.
And Chen Tian didn't lie. There was certainly no way that he and Su Miaoxuan had anything going on. Even if he had feelings for each other, it was only disgust.
When Bai Su heard this, he didn't know whether to believe it or not.
She simply stared into Chen Tian's eyes for a long time, and only when she saw that he had no guilt at all did she straighten up a little and said to him, "No matter what, you are mine now. Whatever you had before, it must be cut off now!"
"What's there to cut off..."
Chen Tian heard this and said with a bit of a smile: "You are the only one in my heart from the beginning to the end. As for the affairs of my uncle's family, I don't want to care about it anymore. Although after my father and mother passed away, they took over my property and sent me to you.
But they are my family after all, and I am already very content that I can be with my beloved ones now. I don’t want to think about the past anymore.”
Chen Tian said this, of course not because he really wanted to let Su Chengwang and his family go, but because he understood Bai Su.
He knew that after Bai Su heard what he said, he would definitely investigate the entire Su family. By then, he would definitely know what kind of experience the original owner had suffered in the Su family.
I believe that by then I won’t need to do anything at all, these people will be punished.
And everything happened just as Chen Tian had expected. After returning, Bai Su immediately ordered Uncle Fu to investigate the Su family's affairs.
Originally, he didn't care about these external things, just wanting to be with his sweetheart. But what happened today was enough to arouse his curiosity.
Uncle Fu was very fast. After all, all the ghosts in this area were under Bai Su's control. They even knew all the secrets that others didn't know.
So soon, Bai Su found out that it was Su Chengwang who drugged Su Chen, tied him up and sent him here.
At the beginning, the Su family was indeed good to Su Chen, but after Su Chen's leg became lame, the family changed their attitude again.
Bai Su had been in this world for so many years that he could naturally see through the hypocrisy of Su Chengwang's family. He simply saw that Su Chen's career prospects had been cut short, and he wanted to get rid of this burden. He sent him here, hoping to gain some benefits from him.
Now, thanks to the luck gained from me, the Su family’s business has improved a lot.
However, Su Chen's leg was broken because of his cousin!
Bai Su felt inexplicably uncomfortable. Logically speaking, even if there was no romantic relationship between them, as cousins who grew up together, he would not ignore something like that.
But, what was Su Miaoxuan worth? He actually dared to hurt himself so badly for a woman, which made Bai Su unable to help but get angry.
The expression on his face was very ugly, and his cold aura made the ghost servants beside him tremble with fear.
Of course, Bai Su would not think that his lover was wrong, it was all the Su family's fault.
Moreover, he was very upset and needed someone to vent his anger on. Su Chengwang's family, who had always treated his partner harshly, seemed to be a good match.
It's simple to say. For Bai Su, it is easy to make someone unlucky.
After getting the information from Uncle Fu, Bai Su carefully sensed it. He could feel a trace of the luck that had been lost from the Su family, but only a trace.
The rest disappeared completely, and Bai Su had no intention of recovering them. Instead, he ordered the ghost servants below to do something.
From that day on, the Su family's fortune began to decline rapidly. The three members of the family suffered nightmares every night, which not only made them mentally depressed, but also caused them to make frequent mistakes in their business.
All the money they had earned a while ago was lost, and even their old partners began to distrust them, and their lives went downhill in an instant.
Father Su was not a good man to begin with. He was dishonest in his business and did a lot of things by selling inferior goods as good ones.
But he had been lucky in the past and had rarely been caught. Even if he had been caught, he would have managed to conceal it. But who knew that recently, he would get into trouble so frequently, causing trouble for his big businesses, and he was almost taken to jail for selling inferior products as good ones.
In order to protect himself, he had to spend a large sum of money to settle the matter, almost emptying out half of his family fortune. The remaining amount of money was exactly the same as the property he had seized from Su Chen.
After meeting Su Miaoxuan, Chen Tian asked System 002 to closely monitor the Su family, so the little fox also reported everything that happened in the Su family to Chen Tian.
Chen Tian smiled as expected when he heard this. He knew that his partner would never let the Su family of three go after finding out about the original owner's past.
In the current situation, Bai Su probably doesn't know that Su Chen's parents were killed by Su Chengwang, otherwise he wouldn't have just given them such a light punishment.
But what surprised Chen Tian was that it seemed that it was not just Bai Su who took action against the Su family.
According to 002's report, after Bai Su made his move, something immediately drained the Su family's luck. Furthermore, an old Taoist priest even ran to the Su family's neighborhood and set up a hallucinogenic magic circle, exacerbating their nightmares.
If nothing unexpected happens, the old Taoist should be the one who harmed the original owner's family.
However, why did he come to add insult to injury to Su Chengwang's family? Chen Tian decided to wait and see for the time being.
On the other hand, Su Chengwang naturally felt that there was something fishy about this, especially since his daughter had come to him crying and asking why he didn't marry her to the Bai family.
He couldn't resist Su Miaoxuan's nagging and had to tell the truth.
After that, Su Miaoxuan had nightmares one after another. She completely believed what her father said and was left with only fear in her heart.
Su Chengwang immediately followed the old Taoist priest's instructions and told him about his daughter's meeting with Su Chen.
He thought he could rest easy after he said this, but he didn't expect that in such a short period of time, misfortunes would frequently happen at home.
Especially those terrible nightmares, every night he dreamed of the ghosts of his sister and brother-in-law seeking his life, which scared him to death. So Su Chengwang could no longer bear it, he hurried to the mountain and found the old Taoist again.
"Master, Master, please, please save me!"
When Su Chengwang saw the old Taoist priest, he knelt on the ground, kowtowed several times, and cried, "I did everything you said before, why did so many things happen at home?
"And I have nightmares every night. Didn't you say it wasn't a big deal? I've hung up talismans in my house and burned paper figurines and paper money, but why is it that nothing is working?"
Hearing this, the old Taoist's eyes flashed, and he said to him: "Now it seems that Su Chen has indeed caught the Ghost King's eye. Everything you have experienced today is Su Chen's instigation for the Ghost King to take revenge on you."
"Then, what should we do?"
When Su Chengwang heard this, he immediately became very anxious.
Seeing this, the old Taoist stroked his beard and said slowly, "This matter is not impossible to solve."
"Oh, then tell me quickly, how do we crack it?"
"You should know that the feud between your family and Su Chen actually started from the generation of Su Chen's father. You should also know why your family was able to become rich before. Therefore, only by repaying this karma can you have hope of survival."
Hearing this, Su Chengwang was stunned. From what the old Taoist priest said, could it be that he didn't want him to return his ill-gotten gains?
But how to return it? His sister and brother-in-law have already passed away. If he wants to return it to Su Chen, he is with the Ghost King.
"Does it mean that you want me to go find that haunted house and that kid Su Chen?"
Su Chengwang couldn't help but feel a pang of pain at the thought of handing over the family property. He then said with a conflicted look on his face, "But I don't think Su Chen will let us go if I return the property."
Unexpectedly, when the old Taoist heard Su Chengwang's words, he shook his head and said, "No, no."
"Su Chen is now the Ghost King's man. Even if you want to return the money, he will definitely not accept it. So you have to influence the cause and effect from external objects. As long as you lose the money, you can weaken the cause and effect, and then there is hope of saving your family's lives."
Lost this money...
Su Chengwang was stunned when he heard this. He had lost a lot in this period of time. What was left was almost the property he had embezzled from his sister and brother-in-law, but the amount was also considerable.
But from what the old Taoist said, he knew that he should hand over all the money.
Su Chengwang was not a person who knew nothing, so he naturally understood that the old Taoist did not want him to sever the cause and effect, but was simply coveting his family property.
I secretly cursed the old Taoist priest for being greedy for money, but now at this critical moment, money is not as important as life!
Especially when he thought about the dream he had last night about the wronged ghost that was seeking his life, he was so frightened that he couldn't sleep at night. If this continued, he was afraid that he would really die soon.
Thinking of this, Su Chengwang had no choice but to grit his teeth and said to the old Taoist: "Master, please save me. I am willing to donate all my wealth to the Taoist temple!"
As he said this, he bowed deeply to the old Taoist.
The old Taoist's eyes gleamed when he heard this. He smiled and helped Su Chengwang up, saying, "Mr. Su is a very lucky man. Don't worry, the Ghost King's matter will be resolved soon. By then, the Su family will surely make a comeback."
The Su family's donation was a big deal, and Chen Tian soon learned about it. Thinking about the old Taoist's interference before, it seemed that it was all for money.
However, Su Chengwang prided himself on being smart, but in the end he ended up with nothing.
