Granny Meng definitely didn't believe Chen Qingqing's words.
She has been swindling people for years. Where in the world is there such a thing as a ghost? It's just a fabricated excuse to cheat people out of their money!
This little girl is talking nonsense. She must be jealous of her making money, which is why she's slandering her.
Granny Meng looked at her with disdain, "Miss Chen, the vengeful ghost has already been subdued by this old woman, how could there still be any ghosts?"
"Ms. Meng, I'm not lying to you, that vengeful ghost really is there." Chen Qingqing deliberately lowered her voice, her tone chilling, "It has a fierce look on its face, and it's right behind you, glaring with blood-red eyes like copper bells, its gaping maw floating behind you!"
"Don't talk nonsense. I've already cast the evil spirit into the eighteenth level of hell. How could it be behind me?"
"Really, if you don't believe me, turn around and look, that vengeful ghost is about to strangle you."
Seeing Chen Qingqing spouting nonsense, Granny Meng said angrily, "Alright, Miss Chen, I don't know what you're up to. Why do you insist that the evil spirit is still in the Fan family? Is it because you see that I've subdued the evil spirit and are hindering your deception in the Fan family that you're resorting to slander?"
Chen Qingqing remained calm and composed, revealing a sinister smile. "Your magic is inadequate; you failed to subdue the vengeful spirit. Are you trying to kill Master Fan's entire family?"
Fan Tong was in a dilemma. He couldn't tell what was true from what was false. After hearing Chen Qingqing say that, he felt his scalp tingle and that terrifying feeling followed him everywhere.
"Granny Meng, this concerns the lives of my whole family. You must tell the truth, have you really subdued the vengeful ghost?"
“Yes, this is a matter of life and death, you can’t fool us,” Madam Fan quickly chimed in.
Granny Meng was so anxious that she broke out in a cold sweat. She hurriedly said, "Master Fan, I have a good reputation and I would never speak falsely. I have indeed subdued that evil spirit. Please keep this talisman safe. I guarantee that everything will go smoothly for the Fan family from now on."
"Alright, in that case, I'll accept the talisman." Fan Tong said, and was about to hand her the silver note in his hand.
"Master Fan, do you want your family to be destroyed?" Chen Qingqing threatened.
"This..." Fan Tong felt conflicted again upon hearing this.
Granny Meng gritted her teeth and glared fiercely at Chen Qingqing. "You're nothing but a quack doctor who peddles fake medicine, swindles people out of their money. If you dare to spout nonsense again, I'll skin you alive."
"Old Lady Meng, I'm not lying, that ghost really is behind you!"
Although Granny Meng did not believe in ghosts and gods, Chen Qingqing's chilling tone and fixed gaze gave her a chilling feeling, and her body trembled slightly.
Seeing this, Chen Qingqing continued, "That vengeful ghost said you ruined his plans and has already set his sights on you. Don't you like being possessed by ghosts? He's about to possess you."
Granny Meng shuddered. It was really strange; she had actually been frightened by a little girl.
The possession was something she orchestrated herself, and she laughed dismissively, "Fine, since you say the ghost wants to possess me, let it come. But if that vengeful ghost can't possess me, then you're deceiving Master Fan."
Fan Tong said with a stern face and drooping eyelids, "Miss Chen, what Granny Meng said is right. Although you are skilled in medicine, you are no match for Granny Meng when it comes to dealing with ghosts. She is the most powerful ghost catcher in Qingshui Town."
Madam Fan also looked furious. "That's right, Miss Chen. We can't see any evil spirits, so how can you say that a ghost can possess someone?"
Before Chen Qingqing could speak, Granny Meng said in a sarcastic tone, "Master Fan, I told you that Miss Chen has ulterior motives. I have already subdued that evil spirit. I can't even see it with my third eye. How could a little girl like her see it? This is obviously nonsense!"
Chen Qingqing didn't want to waste any more words with her. With a thought, some 'Truth Powder' appeared in her hand.
Those poisoned by this substance will experience short-term confusion, be unable to control their words and actions, and involuntarily reveal their true thoughts.
Chen Qingqing sneered inwardly. She thought she was letting him make some ill-gotten gains, but she didn't expect him to be so greedy and selfish.
Her eyes sharpened. "Master Fan, you must step back! That vengeful ghost has gone mad!"
After saying that, he flicked his hand, and the colorless and odorless powder quickly fell around Granny Meng.
As she slowly inhaled, Granny Meng's eyes, which had been dull, gradually became glazed over, followed by a silly laugh.
"Today we finally caught that bald, rich man, Fan Tong. I thought it would take some effort, but I didn't expect to swindle him so easily, and easily got over a hundred taels of silver."
He's a complete idiot, but a heartless rich bastard like him is a fool to be taken advantage of...
Upon hearing this, Fan Tong's face instantly turned ashen. He pointed at Granny Meng and began to curse, "You wicked old woman, how dare you cheat me like this!"
"We trusted you so much, but we never expected you to be such a big liar!" Madam Fan was also furious.
Seeing that she was still cursing, Fan Tong was furious and raised his hand to slap Meng Shipo twice hard. "I'll teach you to curse. I'll beat you to death, you lying bastard."
Granny Meng winced in pain, suddenly snapping back to her senses, her face blank with astonishment. "What...what happened?"
"I'll teach you to pretend!" Fan Tong was furious and kicked him again. "Are you blind? How dare you lie to me? I'll skin you alive!"
Granny Meng was kicked to the ground, and her mind cleared instantly. What exactly happened?
He was fine just now, so why did he suddenly lose control of his words and actions and blurt out his innermost thoughts?
Could this young girl surnamed Chen really summon ghosts and gods?
She was so frightened that she trembled all over and immediately knelt down and kowtowed.
"Forgive me, Master Fan! I didn't mean to curse you, I'm possessed by a ghost."
