Chapter 400 Ningbao Wants to Buy a Haunted Courtyard (2/2)



Although I was allowed to stay, the Cui mother and daughter kept trying to ruin my reputation.

They're saying I'm a jinx to my mother or that I'm lazy and good-for-nothing.

My mother arranged a marriage for me when she was alive.

When I reached marriageable age, the man came to propose, but my half-sister, Fu Di, took a liking to me.

Fu Di is the daughter of the Cui family. Since the Cui family has been made the official wife, she can also be considered the legitimate daughter of the Fu family.

In an attempt to steal my marriage, the Cui mother and daughter conspired to push me down a well.

That's how I died.

After my death, my biological father and Cui announced to the public that I died of grief because I missed my mother so much.

My death naturally made my fiancé the one who took my place.

But I know I died unjustly, and I am extremely unwilling to accept it.

Moreover, my ghost has been staying in the well, and I haven't seen any ghost messengers come to collect my soul.

I want to take revenge on the Cui mother and daughter. But they hired a Taoist priest to cast a spell on the well, so I can't get out at all.

I originally thought that the only hatred between me and the Cui mother and daughter was that I was murdered.

Unexpectedly, after staying in the well for a long time, I often heard people talking about secrets at the wellhead.

I never imagined that one day I would hear such a huge secret. It was that my father had killed my grandparents and my mother in order to seize the Fu family's property.

They didn't die of illness at all; they were poisoned to death by my own father.

My own father was also behind my death, and the more I think about it, the angrier I get.

One day, an old ghost suddenly appeared and said he could teach me a divine skill. Once I mastered the skill, I could avenge my family.

The condition was that after I mastered the divine skill, I would find 100 virgin boys and girls for her.

When I heard that it would harm so many people, I refused without hesitation.

Old Ghost left before achieving her goal, saying she was going to find a spirit willing to be her puppet.

Although the old ghost is gone, the evil aura she left behind has been of great help to me. Before, I couldn't leave this well for even a moment.

But now, I can gather resentment in the middle of the night and even use it to scare people.

Everyone in the manor was so frightened by me that they fell ill. In particular, the Cui mother and daughter probably had done too many bad things and were so frightened by me that they went insane.

My biological father tried to exorcise me by hiring Taoist priests and Buddhist monks, but to no avail.

Having no other choice, they hastily packed their belongings and moved to Yunlu City, selling the house for fifty taels of silver.

"Fifty taels?" Ning Bao held up five fingers in disbelief.

"Such a large three-courtyard house is only selling for fifty taels?"

Fu Ya nodded.

Yes. Fifty taels.

Because the house is haunted, no one in town who knows the truth wants to buy it.

In the end, the matchmaker who ran the house rental business bought it out of her own pocket.

She thought this was a sure-fire deal; she could find a buyer from out of town and make a fortune by selling it.

Unexpectedly, the house remained unsold for a long time under the matchmaker's control, so she eventually decided to rent it out directly.

They're basically rented to family members of test-takers like you who come from the countryside and don't know the inside story.

Ning Bao stood up and looked around the area.

"Aunt Ya, how about I buy your yard?"

Fu Ya paused for a moment,

"Ningbao, you want to buy this courtyard."

To be honest, I don't have much say in this house right now. If you want to buy it, you'll have to go to the real estate agent, since she has the deed.

Ning Bao waved her hand dismissively.

“That’s easy. In my heart, this mansion belongs to Aunt Ya. I still need Aunt Ya’s permission to buy it.”
