Meng Jifang thought Xie Qiao seemed to be even more pitiful now.
Previously, there had been a commotion. Everyone had said that the Crown Prince wanted to marry a Taoist master who was more than ten years older than him as the Princess Consort. Later, it was suddenly changed to Xie Qiao. At that time, he had thought the Crown Prince dragged Xie Qiao in to make up the number.
As expected, Xie Qiao was nothing to the Crown Prince.
He was really a demon.
Meng Jifang felt a little uneasy. He thought the Crown Prince had poor taste.
Xie Qiao… was a little weak, but she was quite good-looking, no? She was much better looking than his future cousin-in-law, Dong Xiyun. What was so good about this old and rough witch compared to that delicate young lady?
In reality, he did not have much contact with Xie Qiao. He just thought the young lady’s ability to tame horses was quite good…
At this moment, Xie Qiao was faintly looking at the sky.
The ghoul looked terrible and was very upset. He said angrily, “Forget it that those girls can’t see me, but what’s the point of looking at him?! No, it’s unacceptable! You guys even spent all my silver. You have to go to the brothel with me again!”
“It’s unacceptable?” Xie Qiao’s voice was cold and deep. “Say it again?”
The ghoul was upset.
These two men were too dazzling. When he saw the crazy looks on those women, he could not help but think of how useless he was. When he was alive, no one looked up to him.
Xie Qiao revealed a talisman directly. The talisman burned to ashes, as if there was a force that strangled the ghoul’s entire body.
In an instant, the ghoul was in endless pain and cried out.
“Initially, this penniless master could have just used force. I just felt that it was quite pitiful that you did not spend all your money after you died, so I held back a little. However, don’t take advantage of me,” Xie Qiao said slowly.
“I-I’m not taking advantage of you… M-Master, please spare my life…” The ghoul was a coward, which he instantly knelt.
“Now you can tell me who ordered you to do this, right?” Xie Qiao sat up straight and looked very serious.
How would the ghoul dare to disobey her?
“I’m not sure… Brother Lie found us and ran away after finishing the job. Each of us got a hundred taels of silver. He stole the hairpin and handkerchief, but he ended up giving them to me…”
This caused him to die and have the young lady’s belongings with him. He could not get rid of them, and they were in the way, so he decided to stick the hairpin on his head.
It was so weird and ugly.
Xie Qiao asked in detail who this so-called Brother Lie was.
This ghoul told the truth.
“Master, if we knew we could’ve done this, why did we do so much?” Zhou Weizong could not help but mutter.
Xie Qiao lowered her eyes, she did not seem to care. “Even if it’s a ghoul who has done evil, I can still get some benefits by fulfilling his wish. Moreover, we shouldn’t take advantage of this ghoul. It’s true that we can get things done by threatening and bribing, but if we do too much, it will also harm our karma.”
However, it was different now. She only took strong measures after courteous ones failed.
She had done a lot for the ghoul. He owed her now that he was disobedient.
If she attacked again, it would not affect her at all.
Everything had a cause and effect. As her life was too precious, no matter how small the influence, she would try to avoid it carefully.
As for that Brother Lie, he was talking about a person called Wang Lie. On the surface, he was actually a very honest carpenter.
No wonder the government could not find him.
The administrative office had always thought that the ones who did it were definitely some hooligans. Therefore, they had been keeping an eye on them. One by one, they called them to the administrative office to ask them what they were doing that day. However, even so, they still could not find anything.
The carpenter was different. He was honest and had a proper profession. If they did not find out from this ghoul, they would not be able to find him no matter how hard they searched!
Not only was Wang Lie a carpenter, even this ghoul had considered having a small business when he was alive!
