My Lady Always Lacks Ambition-Chapter 279 - 278: Considering I am Your Ancestor

Village Chief Wang had been the chief for many years and always managed to bring convenience to his own family. His home had thirty acres of fertile land, and over the years he had also taken advantage of his position to receive numerous tributes from the villagers. Additionally, with the interests collected and the earnings of his children that went into the common pot, and being a stingy rich man as he was, the family possessed a substantial fortune of at least a hundred or so Silver, all held tightly in his own hands.

How could he have secured his position as the village chief if he wasn’t shrewd? After his first wife died, he wanted to remarry. But being old, had it not been for his status and a bit of money in hands, how could he have attracted Mrs. Hu, a young wife young enough to be his daughter?

Although he had taken a young wife, he wasn’t completely blinded by beauty to give all his assets to Mrs. Hu. He was cautious, because with such an age difference, if all the Silver ended up in Mrs. Hu’s hands, wouldn’t he lose all his leverage?

Thus, no matter how coquettishly Mrs. Hu acted or how much she tried to charm him, he always kept a tight grip on his money bag, only letting out a little to appease her. His guard relaxed somewhat after they had a son, but he still kept the majority hidden.

Indeed, he was right to be cautious. This vile woman had long been unfaithful behind his back, even leading to her own death, and that adulterer?

Village Chief Wang glared furiously at his third son, his eyes blood-red with resentful energy. Had he known this son would turn out to be so rotten, he should have smothered him in a cesspit at birth.

Wang Sanquan felt a chill run through him and looked towards Wang Dayong, saying, "Big brother, you are the eldest, you decide how to handle this."

They definitely had to get their hands on the Silver, and since Mrs. Hu didn’t have it, it fell to the eldest brother to decide. If he delayed their father’s spirit release ceremony, it would be considered unfilial.

Wang Dayong was furious, but a glimpse of Qin Liuxi steadied his heart. He said, "No need to bother, there’s already a true master who has identified the problem with our father."

A true master, who?

Everyone followed his gaze towards Qin Liuxi, their eyes widening in shock.

Brother Hu was the first to jump up, pointing at Qin Liuxi, "Dayong, you call him a master, treating us all like fools? This greenhorn boy is a master? If you’re planning to embezzle the Wang family’s property, disregarding your mother and your younger siblings, just say it outright. Why use this boy to fool everyone?"

Mrs. Hu started crying again, "Dad, you left too soon, leaving us mother and son to be bullied. It would have been better if you’d taken me with you."

"Don’t speak of ghosts in daylight, I advise you to not even utter such words. Old Wang, oh, that’s your husband, he is waiting for you to say this, so he can take you with him to continue being ghostly lovers, to take care of him!" Qin Liuxi coolly said, "After all, it’s sad for a person to go on this journey alone at his age. With you, his young charming wife, by his side, the pathway of the Yellow Spring will be easier to walk!"

Mrs. Hu stiffened: "!!!"

She stared at Qin Liuxi through tear-filled eyes, as if asking whether he carried poison in his body, his words so cruel. That image, she dared not contemplate!

However, Village Chief Wang’s eyes lit up, drifting towards Mrs. Hu, "Great idea, this damn vile woman, should accompany me indeed."

Mrs. Hu was enveloped by yin energy, shivering, suddenly feeling very cold.

Wang CuiLian nearly laughed out loud at Qin Liuxi’s words, but it wasn’t the right occasion, so she held it in.

The crowd also had various reactions.

Wang Dayong coughed, touching his nose to hide a smile, saying, "Master... no, great master, please help see what’s wrong with my father? We can’t delay his spirit release ceremony forever."

"No, Wang Dayong, you really think he’s a master? You’re causing trouble blindly, and that’s unfilial!" Brother Hu, seeing Wang Dayong ready to use Qin Liuxi, stomped his feet anxiously. This wouldn’t do; he was still counting on that Silver to clear his gambling debts!

Qin Liuxi glanced sidelong at him, sneering, "If he had really used your so-called spiritual master, that would truly be unfilial. And you, the one in the Daorobe, don’t hide. How does the Golden Light Divine Spell go? Chant it for me to hear."

He pointed at the goatee God Stick in yellow robes, saying, "If you can’t chant it, you’re just a God Stick, scheming with them to swindle Silver from the Wang family."

The God Stick’s eyes darted around evasively, "You say chant it now, why should I?"

"I’m your ancestor," Qin Liuxi chuckled. "You won’t chant, huh? Perhaps I should show you what real evil looks like, according to your own terms?"

God Stick shrank his neck, and before he had a chance to say anything, he saw Qin Liuxi performing a mantra, directing it toward Mrs. Hu’s direction.

"Here’s a bit of ghost power to help you rip off his goatee." Qin Liuxi said indifferently.

She had long been annoyed by him, outmatching her in deceiving large sums of money!

Village Chief Wang suddenly felt a surge of strength in his body and lunged at God Stick without thinking, reaching out and pulling.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, God Stick’s goatee, as if being pulled by someone, was yanked off, revealing a young face.

"Whoa, it’s a fake beard." Village Chief Wang glanced at it, flung it away, and then slapped God Stick: "Shameless God Stick, you have no skills yet dare to scheme for a hundred taels."

Slap.

The sound of a slap appeared out of thin air.

The slapped God Stick screamed miserably, threw his horsetail whisk away, and howled as he fled: "Ghosts, there are ghosts, ahhh!"

People’s legs went soft, and they knelt on the ground, trembling and fearfully looking at Qin Liuxi.

It was her who brought out the ghost.

"Ma-master." Wang Dayong stuttered.

Village Chief Wang had already pounced on Wang Sanquan at this time, with a grip as if intending to choke him to death.

Wang Sanquan clutched at his neck, his throat emitting harsh sounds, eyes full of terror.

"If you actually kill him, you’d be marked down as a child-killer, becoming an Evil Ghost; when you go to Yama Hall, the evaluation of your deeds will be harsh, and you’ll suffer." Qin Liuxi folded her arms and said to Village Chief Wang.

The crowd followed her gaze, and saw no one, but Wang Sanquan was still clutching his neck.

Village Chief Wang, with eyes red, said: "It was he who killed me first, just to commit adultery with that wretched woman, even daring to lay hands on his own father."

"His crimes will be judged by the governmental office in the human world."

Village Chief Wang hesitated for a moment, then finally let go of his hand.

Once freed, Wang Sanquan cried out about ghosts and tried to run, but Qin Liuxi casually picked up the fallen horsetail whisk from God Stick and threw it, hitting his acupoint, immediately causing him to fall to the ground, screaming.

Seeing this, Wang Dayong became even more frightened and asked, "Master, are you speaking about my father?"

"Yes, it’s him."

Mrs. Hu was so terrified that she turned pale and shrank into a corner. Was it really the old man who came back?

Wang Dayong looked around and said, "Why does my father linger and not leave? Is there something we haven’t done right? Master, please ask him; we’ll correct it."

Seeing his eldest son like this, Village Chief Wang couldn’t help but tear up, previously finding him simple and honest, but now seeing him as the only capable and filial child.

"The funeral was handled properly, but your father harbors resentment, and with such obsessions, he naturally won’t leave." Qin Liuxi glanced sidelong at Wang Sanquan and Mrs. Hu on the ground and said, "Before this, I’m afraid you’ll need to report to the officials."
