“Grandma Shen, if you are worried that there is something wrong with this medicine, I will ask the doctor to test it.”
Pei Junyan could never trust Qiao Ruoxi's medical skills, so he reached out to take the porcelain bottle from Old Lady Shen's hand.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Shen avoided his hand and directly poured out a pill and swallowed it.
Pei Junyan was stunned: “Grandma Shen, don’t worry about your life, what if there is something wrong with this medicine…”
At the glance of Old Lady Shen, Pei Junyan's remaining words were stuck in his throat.
"Ayan, since you don't trust that girl, why did you agree to let her go and save your grandma?"
Pei Junyan was speechless after hearing what Mrs. Shen asked.
"Because you don't dare to disobey your third uncle's words, right?" asked Old Mrs. Shen.
Pei Junyan nodded and whispered, "Uncle San is the boss of this family. How dare I raise any objections? I'm worried about you, so I don't let you take the medicine."
Old Mrs. Shen shook her head: "Child, it's easy to compromise because you can hide behind others and don't have to take any responsibility, but no one can make decisions for you all your life, do you understand?"
Although Pei Junyan nodded, he disagreed in his heart.
He has lived his whole life and has always listened to his mother in everything. He has a pretty good life, and when something goes wrong he can just shirk all responsibility, with his mother taking care of the mess for him. He doesn't have to worry about anything.
Even if grandma is really dying this time, his mother agreed to buy this medicine, and she will definitely find a way to help him solve the problem.
Looking at Pei Junyan's expression, Mrs. Shen knew that he had not listened to her words at all, and she couldn't help shaking her head again.
It seems that Yun'er and Ayan's marriage needs to be reconsidered.
Just as he was thinking this, there was a loud "boom" sound of collapse in Mrs. Pei's ward, and Taoist Wu Ya's suppressed cry of surprise.
Pei Junyan stood up quickly: "Did something happen to grandma? I told you that this girl is unreliable, but you didn't listen. Now look what happened!"
After he finished speaking, he found that no one paid any attention to him. Only Old Lady Shen was looking at him with disappointment in her eyes.
Pei Yaozhou gave Ren Quan a look, and Ren Quan immediately understood. He patted the door of the ward and said, "Master Wuya, Madam, are you all right?"
"It's okay, it's okay!" Taoist Wu Ya responded quickly.
…
The ward was in a mess. Taoist Wu Ya finally came to his senses and responded to the inquiries from outside.
He was over fifty years old, but this was the first time he saw a ghost with his own eyes. It was an evil ghost at first, and he almost wet his pants.
The red line surrounded the bed, and the evil ghost had nowhere to escape and could only hide behind Mrs. Pei.
The gap at the corner of his mouth extended all the way to his chin, and his fangs were stuck in the back of Mrs. Pei's neck, sucking away the little golden light of merit that was left in Mrs. Pei.
"If you don't shut up, she'll die." Qiao Ruoxi said calmly, looking at the evil ghost with its bloody mouth open on the hospital bed as if she were looking at an ordinary object.
The evil ghost sneered: "Little girl, do you think I will believe your nonsense? If I hadn't absorbed this golden light, I would have disappeared long ago. How could I still be alive now?"
"Besides, this is my mother. She has done so many good deeds for the Pei family. I am also a member of the Pei family. Why can't I absorb it?"
Qiao Ruoxi's eyes finally showed a trace of emotion: "Are you from the Pei family?"
After hearing this, the evil ghost suddenly began to swell up, stretching out its bloody limbs and proudly puffing out its chest: "Listen carefully, my name is Pei Yaori, and I am the eldest son of the Pei family, the richest family in China!"
"Who is Pei Yaozhou to you?" Qiao Ruoxi asked.
The evil ghost rolled his eyes in disdain: "That's my little brother. Don't be fooled by his serious appearance now. He was a coward when he was young. Whenever there was thunder, he would drag me to sleep with him."
Hearing this, Qiao Ruoxi burst out laughing.
She remembered the little emperor who always followed her.
I don't know how the little emperor is doing now, whether he survived...
"Are you listening to me?" Seeing Qiao Ruoxi distracted, the evil ghost bared his fangs in anger.
"I'm listening. Go on." Qiao Ruoxi simply moved a stool and sat down.
Taoist Wuya was stunned. Could this be the strength of his grandmaster? Even if he practiced for a lifetime, he probably wouldn't be able to reach this level!
"I tell you, girl, if I hadn't died, that kid the third brother wouldn't have any chance. So this time I came back, not only to take revenge on that woman, but also to take back everything in the Pei family from the third brother!" Pei Yaori patted his chest ambitiously.
"Why, you girl don't believe in my ability?"
Seeing Qiao Ruoxi's calm expression, Pei Yaori was very unhappy.
"I believe it, but what are you going to do after you take back everything from the Pei family? Are you going to manage the entire company as a ghost? Or are you going to let the Pei family's assets be buried with you?" Qiao Ruoxi asked with a smile.
Pei Yaori was stunned for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "I don't care. I'm the eldest son of the Pei family. Everything in the Pei family should be mine. What's wrong with me taking back everything that belongs to me?"
"But even if you were alive, the control of the Pei family would not fall into your hands. After all, the emperors of ancient times only appointed the most capable and not the eldest son."
As soon as Qiao Ruoxi finished speaking, Pei Yaori seemed to be stimulated by something. The whites of his eyes turned black in an instant, leaving only black eye sockets. He opened his bloody mouth and stretched out his sharp claws as he came towards Qiao Ruoxi.
"Shut up! Shut up! Anyone who says I'm not as good as the third brother will die!"
"Master!" Taoist Wu Ya exclaimed.
But Qiao Ruoxi was not in a hurry. She moved her fingertips slightly and a talisman appeared out of thin air.
"Entangle!"
Qiao Ruoxi hummed softly, and the talisman instantly turned into red silk thread, wrapping Pei Yaori like a dumpling, making him unable to move.
Qiao Ruoxi took out another piece of yellow paper, drew a talisman with cinnabar, and stuck it on Pei Yaori's forehead with a "pop".
The evil ghost gradually stopped struggling, the black mist around him dissipated, and he turned into the appearance of a middle-aged man.
He was wearing a black suit, his hair was neatly trimmed, and he was carrying a black briefcase.
He covered his face and cried out.
"I was born into a good family with great success. I have a mother who loves me and a brother who respects me. If I hadn't died, even if the Pei family didn't end up being mine, I would still have a place in the Pei family. My life should have been smooth sailing. It's all that woman's fault. She ruined my life!"
Qiao Ruoxi picked up the stool that had just been pushed over and sat down opposite Pei Yaori again.
Taoist Wu Ya blinked, moved a stool and sat next to Qiao Ruoxi. He took out a bag of melon seeds from the canvas bag he was carrying and placed it between the two of them.
"I met that woman at a social gathering. She proposed marriage the first time we met. She said the wedding wasn't important. What was important was that we could spend our lives together!"
"I thought she fell in love with me at first sight and was impressed by my looks and financial resources. I was so happy that I stole my household registration booklet from home the day after our blind date and went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get the marriage certificate!"
