“So you’re her husband, and you look quite handso too.” Grandma Zheng examined him carefully, “Young man, you’re indeed fortunate to have married such a kind-hearted and lovely girl like Su Qingyue.”
“You’re right, to marry Qingyue is a blessing I couldn’t have earned in ten lifetis.” Xiao Yuchuan looked deeply at Su Qingyue, his eyes filled with love.
Grandma Zheng took Su Qingyue’s hand and said, “Girl, I’m already happy that you ca to see , why bring any supplents?”
“It’s just a little token of appreciation, as long as you don’t mind.”
“I don’t mind, it’s thoughtful of you to rember this old woman.” Grandma Zheng gave a maid a look, and the maid took the gift box from Xiao Yuchuan’s hands to the side room.
“I have official duties to attend to, so I’ll get going now.” Chief Wang greeted, and Grandma Zheng waved her off, “Go ahead.”

After chatting with Grandma Zheng for a while, it was noon, so Su Qingyue invited Grandma Zheng and County Magistrate Zheng to have lunch at the Drunken Immortal Pavilion.
County Magistrate Zheng already had a good impression of Su Qingyue and admired her, so naturally, he went along.
At the dining table, Xiao Yuchuan persuaded County Magistrate Zheng to drink and spoke well of him.
He also slipped him two hundred taels of silver notes.
The matter of demolishing the haunted house and the newly purchased four houses next to it for the construction of shops was readily agreed by County Magistrate Zheng, who granted the authorization for demolition and rebuilding.
County Magistrate Zheng was quick to act; not to ntion the financial ans required, extending the main street and thus expanding the town was beneficial for the town itself.
In just three days, the paperwork was processed.
A recruitnt notice was posted on the haunted house, calling for craftsn and servants.
Unfortunately, upon hearing that it involved demolishing a haunted house and working inside it, not a single person applied.
A couple did apply, but by the next day, they had backed out as well.
Three days later, in the evening, the main gate of the haunted house was wide open.
In the courtyard facing the gate, there was a table set with an altar, a peach wood sword, a bowl of chicken blood, yellow talismans…
and other tools for performing rituals.
A Taoist priest dressed in a Taoist robe wielded the peach wood sword from the table, swinging it around in the courtyard and chanting from ti to ti.
“What’s this for?” A passerby stretched their neck at the gate and asked.
“We’ve hired an expert at a high price to exorcise the ghosts,” replied Xiao Yuchuan politely.
“Oh, so it’s a ghost-catching ritual.” Gradually, people gathered around, and even more ca to watch inside the haunted house.
Soone said, “Does this really work?
I’ve heard that the previous owner of the haunted house also hired exorcists, but the ghost beca even more rampant.
It scared the Taoist priest so much that he said it was impossible to deal with the fierce ghost.”
In fact, the Taoist priest was Su Qingyue in disguise.
She had applied dicine to her face, affixed a beard and thick eyebrows, wore a Taoist robe, put on a Taoist hat, changed her voice through ventriloquism, and beca a Taoist priest.
“That Taoist was simply incompetent.” Su Qingyue stroked her beard, exuding an air of celestial awe, “I am the True Man of Wude, a highly virtuous expert.
Any demon or ghost that ets has but one fate – death!”
Old Zheng from the neighborhood also ca to join the crowd.
He looked at Su Qingyue disguised as a Taoist priest, not suspecting her disguise, but skeptically asked, “Are you really that powerful?”
“Of course, I am.” Su Qingyue counted on her fingers, “The ghosts I’ve subdued are not many, just eighty-seven in total.”
“Does the priest know how many ghosts there are in this haunted house?” soone inquired.
“Just one.”
So of the onlookers laughed, “Priest, you don’t even know how many ghosts are here, you’re not fooling us, are you?
This house has seen several people die, how could there be only one ghost?”
