Chapter 150: Thicker Skin Than City Wall
"Infant Bone Gathering Evil is made from the bones of babies under a year old. It carries a strong sense of resentment. The longer you hold onto this thing, the more likely it is to be possessed by evil spirits."
"If you wear this hairpin every day, you will die suddenly in one or two months at the least, or half a year at the most."
"Even if you don't wear it, you'll put it in your dressing box and keep it in your room. It will only haunt you for a little longer, but you'll still end up dead."
"I guess you encountered some danger after you went out today?"
"Yes... I was almost hit by a speeding carriage today. At that time, I just thought I was careless, but now I think... I don't know why I was distracted and walked into the middle of the road!" Zheng Fangfang said with a pale face and panic.
She pulled off her hairpin and was about to throw it away, but Yun Qingqing grabbed her wrist and stopped her.
"There's no point in throwing this stuff away directly. Luckily, you only had it for a day. Let me clean it. You can just go back and get some sun."
Yun Qingqing took the hairpin in her hand, and a golden light flashed at her fingertips.
I saw a burst of black mist coming out of the hairpin, and at the same time a hair-raising cry filled the air!
The black fog gathered together and turned into a ferocious shape, rushing towards Yun Qingqing, trying to wrap her up and swallow her.
But she was prepared. She threw out a talisman and absorbed all the black fog in a moment.
Zheng Fangfang hid behind Yun Qingqing, watching in amazement. When everything calmed down, she finally felt a surge of fear and anger.
"Yang Tong! Why do you want to hurt me like this!" She looked at her fiancé with gritted teeth.
Yang Tong's expression had changed several times during the process of Yun Qingqing subduing the infant evil spirit, and his mind was in turmoil. At this moment, he immediately put on an aggrieved look.
"Fangfang, listen to my explanation. I have no idea what's going on! I bought this hairpin because I thought it suited you. I never imagined it was such a sinister object!"
"Don't you know how I treat you? We'll be married in half a year. What good will it do me to harm you?"
He spoke so sincerely that Zheng Fangfang hesitated again.
Yang Tong suddenly pointed at Yun Qingqing angrily and said:
"Besides, I clearly bought this hairpin at a jewelry store on the street. They are all officially registered stores. How could they sell evil items?"
"Isn't this woman really just using her sorcery skills to bully us and scare us?"
Qing Jue twisted his arm fiercely and said angrily:
"How dare you slander our Pavilion Master in front of me? If you fart again, I'll pull your tongue out!"
Yang Tong gasped in pain and closed his mouth.
But Zhao Yuling grabbed Zheng Fangfang with a frightened look on her face:
"Fangfang, don't you know what kind of person Brother Yang is? He would never hurt you! It's all my fault today. I shouldn't have dragged you to this store. This place... is really a bit evil! Let's get out of here!"
She turned around and pleaded with Yun Qingqing:
"Pavilion Master, we don't know how we've offended you. Can't we just assume we're scared? Just let us go. We won't pursue this matter any further, okay?"
"If you are not satisfied, we can also compensate you with some silver. Just tell us the amount."
Yun Qingqing glanced at her coldly:
"Qingjue, turn up the left sleeve of this man."
Qingjue did as he was told without saying a word. Before Yang Tong could react, his sleeves had been turned up.
"Wow, that's quite elegant! There are even patterns embroidered on the inside of the cuffs! I'll learn something!"
Qingjue looked at the inside of the sleeve and smiled.
"I recognize this bird, a mandarin duck~ Hey, there's some words next to it, let me see... it says 'Yuling'! You're quite interesting, kid. You're already engaged, but why isn't your fiancée's name embroidered on your body?"
Following Qing Jue's joking words, the three people's faces turned pale.
Zheng Fangfang took a quick step forward and grabbed Yang Tong's sleeve. Her face turned from pale to blue, and she raised her hand and slapped him hard.
"Mr. Yang, explain to me what's going on!"
"What else could it be? This robe was sewn by your best friend herself. Do you think there will be pairs of embroidered flowers on the cuffs of your best friend's robe?" Yun Qingqing said with a smile.
Zheng Fangfang turned her head abruptly and glared at Zhao Yuling, causing her to step back and shake her head in panic.
"Don't listen to her nonsense..."
Zheng Fangfang rushed forward, grabbed Zhao Yulin's arm, and turned up her cuffs. Sure enough, she saw the same mandarin duck embroidery inside, as well as the words "Yang Tong" clearly written on it.
She was so angry that she grabbed Zhao Yuling's collar and slapped her left and right.
"Zhao Yuling, how could you be so shameless! I've been so good to you, how dare you do this behind my back!"
Zhao Yulin initially retreated out of guilt, but after being slapped several times, she became furious and pushed Zheng Fangfang to the ground.
"Zheng Fangfang, stop flattering yourself! You still have the nerve to say you're nice to me? I'm telling you, the thing I've hated the most since I was a kid is your smug, mean face!"
"What did you say?" Zheng Fangfang looked at her in disbelief. She was so stunned that she even forgot to stand up.
Zhao Yuling pointed at her and shrieked:
"Aren't you just relying on your family's wealth? Since we were little, you've always acted like a rich person, buying things that are out of reach for a humble family like me just to humiliate me!"
"Don't you think I know? You say that your sisters should have what you have, but in reality, you're just trying to get me to curry favor with you and satisfy your abominable vanity!"
"What?" Zheng Fangfang said in astonishment. "I treat you as my own sister. I feel that everything I have cannot be without you. And you actually see it like this?"
"Isn't it! Stop pretending to be innocent now!" Zhao Yuling's face was full of sarcasm.
Zheng Fangfang was so angry that she was shaking, her chest heaving violently, and she pointed at her, almost unable to speak.
At this moment, a sarcastic laugh sounded, and Qing Jue folded his arms and spoke:
"Oh, this person is truly shameless! If you despise those few filthy bucks, why didn't you refuse the things I gave you?"
"Don't you know why you didn't refuse? You're clearly after money, yet you're still trying to lick someone's ass, pretending to be a friend, and then you have the nerve to turn the tables on them!"
"I think you women are thicker-skinned than a city wall!"
Zhao Yuling's face turned red and white, but this fox-eyed young man was so handsome and even spoke up for Zheng Fangfang, which made her feel even more humiliated.
"You know what? You don't need to interfere in our affairs!" She gritted her teeth and argued.
He turned around and glared at Zheng Fangfang again:
"Let's not talk about anything else. It was obvious that Brother Yang fell in love with me first! But you dress up all day and flaunt yourself in front of him, buying him this and that to show off how rich your family is! You even go to his house to please his parents. You're deliberately trying to seduce him. How dare you criticize others!"
"Brother Yang clearly loves me. If it weren't for our parents' orders, how could he possibly marry an ugly and vain woman like you?"
Her desire to use a man to save face was written all over her face.
Yang Tong met Zheng Fangfang's gnashing eyes and said hurriedly:
"Fangfang, don't listen to her nonsense. It's true that she gave me this robe, but I didn't know what she meant by that! I didn't even notice the embroidery inside. I'm also a victim in today's incident..."
"What!" Zhao Yuling was furious. "How dare you do this and then not admit it? You were the one who first swore to marry me, and then you went to the Zheng family to propose marriage! I came to you to ask for an explanation, but you said it was all for my good life!"
"You planned to marry this woman first, then find a way to kill her, get her dowry and property, and then come to my house to propose marriage!"
"Brother Yang, you swore to yourself that you would never betray me, so why are you putting the blame on me now?"
