Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse


As soon as Mu Shi came back from Yu Qianjiao’s yard, Shuang Tao came over and said, “Madam, sorceress Bai is here. She has been waiting in the side room for a long time.”


Since using the detoxification elixir that General Yu brought back from northern Xinjiang, Yu Qianjiao’s body had begun to recover, and Mu Shi’s heart has gradually relaxed. Now when she heard that sorceress Bai was coming, her heart was tight again: “Her? What is she doing here?”


Shuang Tao said: “I don’t know, but looking at the sorceress, it seems that there is something important.”


Mu Shi sighed, “Call her in.”


What an eventful autumn!


Sorceress Bai floated into the room, dressed in a pale blue Taoist robe and holding a duster.


“I haven’t seen you for a few days, has the lady been doing well?” The wounds from Yu Linglong have healed, and sorceress Bai appeared to be an able person again. At this time, she was polite, respectful, and gracious towards Mu Shi.


Mu Shi really couldn’t think it would be anything good. The whole family in the Yu house was disturbed by a Yu Linglong. How could she possibly be the mistress of the house?


Mu Shi barely smiled and raised her hand to give up her seat: “Thank you sorceress for your concern, everything’s fine.”


Sorceress Bai leisurely sat down, but her eyes looked at Mu Shi’s face from time to time, with an unpredictable appearance.


Mu Shi was a little disturbed by sorceress Bai and couldn’t help but ask: “Why did you come here?”


Sorceress Bai smiled faintly: “It was because last time, the fourth lady of your house—“


Mu Shi hurriedly said: “This matter is all her fault. She offended you, and I ask you to be generous, and don’t cause a fuss.”


After thinking for a while, she asked, “What conditions do you still have?”


Mu Shi thought that sorceress Bai had come to extort her silver again. Although sorceress Bai was beaten when she failed to get rid of ghosts last time, most of it was the responsibility of the Yu Mansion. Besides, she was a lady of the inner house, she couldn’t dare offend her.


This is what is meant by “it’s easier to invite the devil in than to send him away.”


Unexpectedly, sorceress Bai slowly shook her head, and said with a righteous and stern look: “What does the madam think of me? Is it me who is greedy for money and forgetting justice!?”


As soon as she said this, Mu Shi’s heart was even more uncertain. Sorceress Bai took the initiative to come to the door this time, and she did not ask for the silver with a clear price. What was she going to do?


Sorceress Bai Xian shook the duster lightly and said, “Since I have been entrusted by the lady to expel evil spirits from your house last time…well, something happened…”


Last time she was violently beaten by Yu Linglong, but she didn’t get anything done. Sorceress Bai was much more depressed than Mu Shi. If this matter got out, wouldn’t she still need her reputation?


Fortunately, Yu Linglong gave her another chance. If this thing was done, she would not only redeem her lost reputation but also make a fortune.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]


Of course, the most important thing was that Yu Linglong could get away with it.


Sorceress Bai Xian cleared her throat and continued: “I have lived in the mansion these days, and I have seen a lot of clues. This evil spirit is really cunning, and even this immortal’s magic eyes have been deceived…”


Mu Shi looked sorceress Bai’s lips up and down, mystified by her words.


What did sorceress Bai mean? Did the Yu house really have ghosts?


Sorceress Bai talked rapidly for a long time, and only then did Mu Shi understand a little bit. Sorceress Bai meant that she did not live in the Yu house for the sake of extorting Mu Shi of her silver but to be able to see the fengshui of the Yu house in different ways and find out the root cause of the evil. After her observation, she finally judged that the Yu Mansion was indeed corrupted, not by a demon or a devil, but by a vengeful ghost. The disasters that occurred in the Yu Mansion during this period were all caused by this.


Mu Shi suddenly thought of something, and her heart suddenly shuddered as if she poured cold water on it.


Could it really be…a vengeful ghost!?


The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. She completely forgot how much silver sorceress Bai had swindled from her, and immediately got up to address her, her voice trembling slightly: “Sorceress Bai, you must help us! How much silver do you want? Go ahead and say it!”


Sorceress Bai was overjoyed. Yu Linglong was right; after doing this ritual, she had another large sum of silver paid.


No matter how happy she was, sorceress Bai still had to pretend to be an immortal spirit: “Why is the lady saying this? How could this immortal do such an unnatural thing? I want to use silver only for the things that need to be purchased. My method is to walk the way of the heavens, but I do not take any money!”


Mu Shi nodded again and again: “Yes, yes. How much do you need, sorceress? If you go to the accountant, I will order them to follow the sorceress’ instructions.”


Sorceress Bai smiled with satisfaction and said: “Since the vengeful ghost is still there, they must want something. I will perform a soul-calling ceremony. Please gather the people in the house.”


Mu Shi was startled, and hesitated for a moment: “This…”


Sorceress Bai glanced at Mu Shi and asked: “Why does the lady think this is wrong?”


Mu Shi hurriedly said: “Nothing. I just want to ask, will this conjured ghost turn into a demon?”


Sorceress Bai looked at Mu Shi a little strangely: “Why would the lady say this?”


Mu Shi hid a smile: “There are a few young ladies in the house, and I’m afraid they will be frightened.”


Sorceress Bai said: “They shouldn’t be. If this wronged soul is so capable, I’m afraid that something even greater has happened in the mansion.”


Only then was Mu Shi relieved: “Okay. Please make arrangements as soon as possible.”


Sorceress Bai Xian came out of Mu Shi’s yard and saw Ling’er slowly picking roses not far away. She took out her kerchief and wiped the sweat from her forehead, and nodded slightly in the direction of Ling’er.


Ling’er immediately picked up the small flower basket beside her feet and quickly walked towards Pinlan Garden without looking back.



At night, Mu Shi leaned tiredly on the couch and said, “Why hasn’t Xiao Qing brought any information these past few days?”


Mama Cui whispered: “I heard that the day before yesterday, Xiao Qing did something wrong. The fourth lady punished her to kneel in the yard. Her leg injury hasn’t healed yet.”


Mu Shi’s brows knotted slightly: “It’s just a punishment of kneeling, how can she get hurt?”


Mama Cui paused and said, “The Fourth Lady ordered her to kneel with the saucer under her legs, so…”


Mu Shi was secretly shocked. She was a fourteen-year-old girl, how could she be so cruel?


Thinking of what Sorceress Bai had said, Mu Shi couldn’t help asking Mama Cui: “Do you think it is possible that there are ghosts in Pinlan Garden?”


Mama Cui was startled. She looked out the window without realizing, and then whispered: “Why does the lady think that?”


Mu Shi sighed and said what sorceress Bai had told her: “…if there really are ghosts, how did sorceress Bai know?”


Mama Cui was also a little scared when she heard it, and after thinking about it for a while she said, “Madam, don’t think about it. Which house hasn’t had a few girls die in it? Maybe it’s just a coincidence that sorceress Bai said so.”


Mu Shi looked out the dark window with a relaxed gaze, and said, as if to herself: “She is not an ordinary girl…”
