Chapter 39 Handle



When Xiangu Liu reached the door of the room, she was stopped by Ah Man.

"What do you mean, young lady?" Liu Xiangu turned around and looked at Jiang Si with a gloomy face.

When she heard Jiang Si mention the Dongping Marquis' Mansion, Liu Xiangu felt more relieved.

Since the other party is related to the Dongping Marquis's Mansion, his background is probably not much higher than that of the Dongping Marquis's Mansion.

Although she lived in a slum, she had accumulated some connections and reputation through dealing with wealthy families over the years. Even though the girl in front of her was a noblewoman, she was still too young to control her.

Jiang Si still had a faint smile on his face: "Since the fairy lady is here, don't you even want to have a cup of tea?"

"I'm not used to the tea here." Liu Xiangu said calmly.

Jiang Si put away his smile and met Liu Xiangu's gaze with a deep gaze: "So, Xiangu is determined to help the second wife of the Dongping Marquis's Mansion do something that is against the will of heaven and earth?"

"Who is this girl? Why are you talking to me about this?"

"As for me, I am the fourth young lady of the Dongping Marquis's Mansion. The second wife is my second aunt, and the person she asked the fairy to plot against is my brother from the same mother." Jiang Si did not hide anything and confessed his identity frankly.

As she continued speaking, Liu Xiangu's expression of surprise at the beginning turned into looking at her as if she was an idiot.

Is there something wrong with the fourth young lady from the Dongping Marquis's mansion? She comes to her and says these things without any basis?

Not to mention that she had been offended, with her current reputation, she could say anything to push the fourth young lady into an irretrievable situation. Even if she ignored it and told the second wife of the Dongping Marquis's Mansion about it, the young lady in front of him would have a hard time in the future.

"Where did you hear these rumors, young lady? Although I'm not some enlightened person, I have helped many families solve their problems. I can't accept such accusations from you, young lady." There was contempt in Liu Xiangu's eyes as she looked at Jiang Si.

Such little girls are simple-minded and will just yell and scream when something happens. In fact, they have no ability at all. She has seen a lot of them.

"Miss, you should go back early, so as not to worry the people in the mansion." Liu Xiangu walked around Ah Man and reached out to push the door.

Ah Man blocked the door and said crisply, "Our girl didn't let the fairy go."

Liu Xiangu turned around calmly and raised her voice slightly: "Miss, are you going to force me to stay?"

A little girl's voice came from outside the door: "Fairy, are you okay?"

Just as Fairy Liu was about to reply, Jiang Si spoke first: "Fairy, please sit down. If you are not interested in discussing the affairs of the Duke of Dongping's mansion, how about we talk about the affairs of the Yan Yuanwai family in the suburbs of Beijing?"

Fairy Liu's face changed drastically, and there was unconcealable panic in her eyes.

"Fairy, are you okay?" A little girl's voice came from outside the door.

Liu Xiangu felt as if a heavy hammer had hit her hard, making her feel dizzy and dazed.

How could someone know about Mr. Yan’s family?

Seeing the out-of-control Liu Xiangu, Jiang Si was not surprised.

There was a wealthy man named Yan in Bailu Town, a suburb of Beijing. Mr. Yan had an only daughter who was as beautiful as a flower, quiet and elegant. Before she even reached the age of marriage, many people came to propose marriage to her.

However, things don't always go as planned. When Miss Yan came of age, she developed a strange disease. She started out feeling sleepy, but later on she was rarely awake during the day.

Mr. Yan had only this one beloved daughter, and his hair turned white with worry over her. He asked famous doctors in the capital to cure her, but none of them could cure her. Some people then said that Miss Yan might have lost her soul and could not wake up.

As a result, Taoist priests and witches appeared one after another, among them was Liu Xiangu, who had just arrived in Bailu Town.

At that time, Liu Xiangu was not called Liu Xiangu, but called herself Liu Po.

She told outsiders that her husband had died a few years ago, leaving behind only a son and a daughter. Later, her son also died, so she took her daughter to exorcise evil spirits and collect souls for a living.

Fairy Liu told Mr. Yan that Miss Yan had lost her soul during an outing, and that she needed a young girl with remaining spiritual energy to accompany Miss Yan at night and bring her soul back in her dreams.

And her daughter is a virgin whose spiritual energy has not yet dissipated.

At that time, Mr. Yan was desperate and agreed without hesitation.

In this way, Liu Xiangu's daughter stayed with Miss Yan for seven days and seven nights, and Miss Yan actually recovered.

Mr. Yan was overjoyed and gave Liu Xiangu a generous thank-you gift. Liu Xiangu's fame also spread in Bailu Town, and for a while, there was an endless stream of people looking for Liu Xiangu to treat their strange diseases.

After Miss Yan recovered from her illness, Mr. Yan began to arrange a marriage for his daughter. However, something unexpected happened at this time.

Miss Yan refused to agree to the marriage proposal, and only when she was forced into a corner did she say that she had secretly pledged her life to a man named Qian Lang in her dream, and would not marry anyone else in this life.

Mr. Yan was terrified at the time, thinking that his daughter's lost soul was haunted by wandering ghosts, so he quickly invited Liu Xiangu again.

Fairy Liu counted with her fingers and said with a smile that the Qian Lang in Miss Yan's dream was not a wandering ghost but a real person. Miss Yan and this man were destined to be together. If the two could not get married, Miss Yan would encounter more strange twists and turns.

At this time Miss Yan told Qian Lang's residence again, and Mr. Yan hurriedly sent people to look for him, and indeed found the man.

However, Qian Lang was a young man whose parents had both passed away and he had come to live with relatives far away. He had no permanent property and no special skills. Yuanwai Yan did not think highly of him at all and his first reaction was to refuse the proposal.

Miss Yan cried and made a fuss for more than a month, and then another strange thing happened; Miss Yan was actually pregnant!

Now Mr. Yan was completely at a loss. After asking Qian Lang whether he was willing to marry Miss Yan, he hastily arranged the marriage for the two of them.

"Fairy——" The girl outside the door began to knock on the door.

"It's okay!" Fairy Liu suddenly came back to her senses and stared at the girl sitting by the window.

The girl sat upright, and the sunlight coming in through the carved window lattices fell on her, creating a soft and peaceful picture.

But such tranquility made Liu Xiangu shudder.

The incident in Mr. Yan's family happened more than ten years ago, and it happened far away in the suburbs of Beijing. Given the girl's background and age, it is impossible for her to know the secret.

Liu Xiangu raised her hand to smooth her hair and said calmly, "What Mr. Yan, Mr. Wang? I have been to so many families over the years that I can't remember which one it is."

Jiang Si stared at Liu Xiangu for a moment, then suddenly smiled: "Xiangu, you are joking, right? You may not remember other families, but how can you not remember your in-laws?"

Liu Xiangu's pupils suddenly shrank and she looked at Jiang Si with horror in her eyes.

Ah Man, who was guarding the door, looked curious.

"Ah Man, go wait outside so the girl outside can rest assured."

Although Ah Man was full of curiosity, he quietly retreated after hearing Jiang Si's instructions. Only Jiang Si and Liu Xiangu were left in the room.

Fairy Liu stared at Jiang Si in strange silence.

Jiang Si had a calm smile on his face: "That Qian Lang must be the daughter of the fairy, right?"

Xiangu Liu involuntarily took two steps back and her back hit the door.

The door panel made a muffled sound.

The extremely beautiful girl opposite smiled and said, "Or rather, he is the son of the fairy lady!"
