Chapter 191: A Little Strange

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After the mourners left, Old Zhao drove the carriage away. He thought that it was just a coincidence, but the more he walked, the more shocked he became. As far as the eye could see, there was paper money scattered everywvhere.

Before they could walk far, they had already dodged several times.

Old Zhao asked in confusion, “What’s going on? Are there groups of people who have passed away?

In the past, it was already considered lucky to encounter it twice a month. Why did he encounter everything that was meant for a year today?!

The woman in the car complained unhappily, “It’s all your fault for taking this road. If only we had taken that main road. Now, we’ve encountered these unlucky things.”

They were clearly the ones who were unwilling to wait just now and insisted that Old Zhao change his route. Now, they were blaming Old Zhao.

When Old Zhao heard this, he was immediately unhappy. “How can you say that? If you didn’t insist that I change my route just now, would I have taken this path?”

The woman pursed her lips. “What do we say? You’re already so old. Don’t you have any opinions?”

Old Zhao was speechless.

Yes, everything they said made sense!

Su Li knew that this would happen every time she rode the ox cart. She simply took out cotton and stuffed it into her ears. She really didn’t want to hear them argue.

Fortunately, they didn’t encounter anyone who was sending the deceased off after that. When she arrived in town, Su Li got off the ox cart. This time, she wasn’t in a hurry to go to the Exquisite Pavilion. Instead, she strolled around the streets.

As they passed by a teahouse, Su Li heard the discussions inside.

“Have you heard? Jia Village is haunted!!”

“Have you heard? Jia Village is haunted!!”

“Hey, you don’t know this, right? Four people died in their village in a night. Moreover, they were all bleeding from their seven apertures. I heard that they were killed by a ghost.”

“No way? Is it that exaggerating?”

“It’s true. I have a relative from their village..

Su Li stopped in her tracks when she heard the discussion inside. She thought for a moment before turning around and walking in.

When the waiter saw Su Li enter, he greeted her warmly, “Madam, what do you want to eat?”

Su Li said, “Just a pot of tea will do.”

She was here to watch the show, not to eat!

The waiter smiled and said, “Alright! Take a seat first. I’ll serve you tea now.”

Su Li found a seat that was convenient for listening to gossip and sat down. Those people’s discussions continued.

“Why would there be a ghost?”

“Aiyo, there’s a scholar in Jia Village. That scholar was originally engaged, but who knew that after getting into the county, his heart would change and he would get together with the daughter of a rich businessman?”

“What about the scholar’s fiancée?”

“Of course he dumped her? You don’t think that scholar will marry her, do you?”

“That’s true. One doesn’t have to think who to choose when it’s between the daughter of a rich businessman and a village woman!”

“But what does this have to do with the village being haunted?”

“Don’t be anxious. Listen to me slowly…”

From their conversation, Su Li understood the reason for this matter. It turned out that the scholar’s fiancée had not given up and was unwilling to break off the engagement.

The scholar knew that he could not continue like this. His future was limitless. He could not let his wealth fall on such a village woman. The daughter of a rich businessman had already warned him time and time again. If he did not resolve this matter, it would be impossible for them.

The scholar would not allow such a thing to happen. It was not easy for him to find a money tree. How could he let it go just like that?

Hence, he found someone to use all sorts of methods to make his fiancée’s family suffer. In the end, they really had no choice but to annul the marriage.

As the saying went, a melon that was forcefully twisted would not be sweet. One would not be happy even if she married such an ungrateful man.

However, the scholar’s fiancée was a simple-minded person. When she heard that her marriage was gone, she cried and made a fuss. In the end, seeing that there was really no way to salvage her marriage, she ran to the well at the village entrance and threw herself in.

By the time the villagers discovered her, it was already hopeless.

Not long after she died, her parents, brother, and sister-in-law were all dead. Only her brother was left in the family.

Everyone in the village said that she had turned into a malicious ghost and came back to take revenge. She hated them for canceling her marriage. Otherwise, why would her parents, brother, and sister-in-law die for no reason?

Today, Su Li and the others met their family.

A malicious ghost?

Su Li felt that this matter was a little strange. Even if she turned into a malicious ghost, she should have taken revenge on the scholar. Why would she kill the parents who raised her?

After drinking a pot of tea, Su Li paid the money and turned to leave.

When they left the restaurant, Su Li saw a familiar face.

This person was the person they had met just now. It was someone who was attending the funeral.

Su Li glanced at him again. Shouldn’t he be at the cemetery at this time? Why was he on the street? They had only been on the street for a while, but this person had already appeared in front of them. Wasn’t he a little too fast?

Su Li took the perfume and went to the Exquisite Pavilion. What she did not notice was that the moment she turned around, that man glared at her fiercely a few times. There was even a fierce look in his eyes, as if there was a grudge between them.

Su Li had just walked into the Exquisite Pavilion when Yue Ying came down from upstairs.

“Long time no see.” Yue Ying saw Su Li holding her hand warmly.

Su Li’s lips twitched. “Steward Yue, are you going out?”

Yue Ying shook her head and said, “I won’t go out since you’re here. We haven’t seen each other for a long time. Shall we chat upstairs for a while?”

Actually, it hadn’t been that long since they last met, but she felt that it had been a long time.

Su Li smiled and nodded. “Sorry to disturb you.”

Yue Ying gestured for her to go ahead.

Su Li walked towards the second floor.

After sitting down, Yue Ying personally made her a cup of tea.

Yue Ying asked, “What have you been busy with recently? I don’t see you selling fragrant soap anymore.”

Su Li said, “I went back to my parents’ house. Ain’t I here to look for you now?” With that, Su Li took out the tester perfume she had prepared.

Yue Ying looked at the exquisite and small thing in front of her and asked, “What is this?”

This thing made her happy at first glance, she didn’t even know what it was used for!

Su Li held the perfume and explained, “This is a perfume I made. With it, one will smell good all year round, especially for those who have body odor. This perfume is simply a blessing for them.” Yue Ying eagerly asked, “Can I give it a try?”

Su Li nodded. “Of course!”

Yue Ying gently pressed the bottle and a fragrance wafted into her nose. She sniffed hard and could not help but exclaim, “It smells so good!”

Su Li was very satisfied with her reaction. She knew that no woman could resist the charm of perfume.

Yue Ying looked at the small bottle in her hand with burning eyes. She could already imagine how popular this perfume would be..
