My Lady Always Lacks Ambition-Chapter 990 - 963: You’ve Been Married

Luo Qi’s home is in South County, and he himself studies at the county school. His knowledge is quite good, and he has already passed the exam to become a scholar, earning high expectations from his teachers and family.

Qin Liuxi followed them to the Luo Family. Mrs. Luo is widowed and is said to be a lady from a prominent family in Shengjing. Her words and actions are very dignified, showing that she has indeed been taught proper manners.

After learning the true cause of her son’s illness from the steward, Mrs. Luo furrowed her brows. She had some suspicion that her son might have been contaminated by something unclean and had thought of going to the temple to ask for some spirit talismans. However, Luo Qi said that scholars don’t speak of strange forces and gods, so she held back.

Unexpectedly, he really had been entangled by a ghost, and had even been led into debauchery. Mrs. Luo was so angry her face turned white.

Qin Liuxi went to Luo Qi’s room and after looking around inside and outside, shook her head and said, "It’s not here."

"Are you saying that the female ghost isn’t here?" Luo Qi asked.

Qin Liuxi nodded, "She’s not here. There’s some yin energy here, but nothing belonging to the evil yin."

Steward Zhang said, "Are you sure you’re not mistaken? If she’s not here, how did she entangle my young master?"

"I wouldn’t dare claim that my eyes are like Eyes of Golden Flame, but I can still tell whether there are dirty things around," Qin Liuxi said. "Since it’s not here, it must be elsewhere."

"The county school’s quarters." Luo Qi suddenly spoke up. "I study at the county school and often stay there, only returning on bathing days. Could it be there?"

Mrs. Luo said, "But scholars naturally have a righteous aura, not to mention it’s an academy where the righteous aura is even more intense. How could such evil things dare hide in such a place?"

"Although there’s a righteous aura, it’s not absolutely safe. If it’s an old ghost with cultivation, it wouldn’t be afraid. Furthermore, hasn’t that female ghost already absorbed yin to replenish yang?" Qin Liuxi pointed to Luo Qi.

Everyone felt a bit embarrassed.

That was too direct!

Qin Liuxi continued, "There’s also another point. If perhaps her presence has been tacitly allowed, she might be able to exist there, all due to cause and effect."

Luo Qi frowned. "Then let’s go take a look?"

Having decided to help him solve the problem, Qin Liuxi didn’t refuse, and a group of people then turned towards the county school.

On the way to Luo Qi’s quarters, they ran into several students. One of them saw Luo Qi and said, "Brother Luo, weren’t you taking leave?"

Luo Qi tugged at the corner of his mouth and said, "I came back to get a few books."

"And this young lady is..." The crowd looked at Qin Liuxi.

With her hands behind her back, Qin Liuxi said, "I’m the temple priest of the City God Temple, surname Qin."

The students’ expressions changed upon hearing this. The temple priest of the City God Temple, and a woman?

"Scholars don’t speak of strange forces and gods, why is Brother Luo associating with a Daoist?" A hard-faced, lanky student spoke unfriendly.

The others were still observing the two with somewhat different meanings. Could Luo Qi really be into such things?

Quite a player! 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Qin Liuxi’s brows furrowed slightly. What kind of filthy things were stuffed in these people’s heads?

"What’s wrong with a Daoist, are they bothering you?" She said coldly.

"Not to mention the Daoist identity, you’re also a woman." The man looked displeased, casting a blaming look at Luo Qi and said, "Brother Luo actually brought you into the academy. Shouldn’t this be reported to the teachers?"

Luo Qi’s expression changed slightly; he hadn’t done that.

In the county school, all the students were men, and no women entered or left as they pleased. After all, this is an academy. If women entered before, it would be the relatives of the teachers.

He had been careless.

"Mr. Shao, I was planning to talk to Mr. Cheng." Luo Qi felt guilty and didn’t argue, though his tone was somewhat evasive.

Qin Liuxi said, "An academy is a place for teaching and nurturing. Can’t one enter? Or is there written at the academy’s gate that women can’t come in? Or perhaps some among you have done disgraceful deeds, so you’re guilty and afraid of being exposed when a Daoist comes?"

Her aura surged, her eyes sharp as knives, targeting someone hidden in the crowd.

Seeing her chilled gaze, the crowd shivered with goosebumps, involuntarily retreating a step, but hearing the implication in her words, they followed her sight.

In the crowd’s rear, a man with a delicate, refined appearance raised his head. His gaze flickered as he smiled at Luo Qi, "Brother Luo."

Luo Qi frowned.

"What nonsense are you saying? What disgraceful deeds?" Shao Ming glared at Qin Liuxi angrily, then turned to Luo Qi, "Brother Luo, are you planning to let an outsider humiliate us fellow classmates?"

Qin Liuxi scoffed, "If you don’t know anything, don’t randomly label people. If you act on presumptions and randomly convict people without knowing facts, you will cause many wrongful cases if you become an official."

"You’re being impudent!"

Qin Liuxi walked over to the delicate-looking young man, stood in front of him, and smirked, "Why are you feeling guilty?"

This person and Luo Qi have karmic connections.

Luo Qi walked over and asked, "Master?"

"Who is he?"

Thinking of something, Luo Qi said, "He shares the same quarters with me."

With two people sharing a quarters, Liang Yaomu lived next to his room.

Qin Liuxi sized up Liang Yaomu, who clenched his fists, pursing his lips, looking humiliated.

"Let’s go to your quarters." Qin Liuxi withdrew her gaze, gesturing for Luo Qi to lead the way, then told the crowd, "According to Luo Qi, there are quite a few rumors at the county school, saying he indulges excessively in pleasure at brothels. Why not follow along to see the truth?"

The crowd exchanged looks, puzzled by her riddle-like remarks.

"Let’s go." Shao Ming took the lead and followed up.

Liang Yaomu’s expression changed subtly, harboring resentment inside, hesitated for a moment, then followed.

The quarters were nearby, and they soon arrived at the small courtyard with two rooms. Qin Liuxi headed straight to the left one, and Luo Qi paused for a moment, quickly following her.

This was his room.

Entering the room, she glanced around, went to the bedside and inspected it, then extracted a brick, causing a water-red ghostly figure to rush out.

The room suddenly became cold and gloomy.

Everyone instinctively rubbed their arms that had sprouted goosebumps. It suddenly felt freezing.

Liang Yaomu’s face turned pale, the veins standing out on his neck as he tried to retreat, but was immobilized by the ghostly figure approaching him.

Qin Liuxi raised a brow, oh, what a coincidence!

She wasn’t in a hurry, digging into the brick hole under everyone’s gaze, pulling out something wrapped in red paper.

Luo Qi stared blankly; why was such a thing hidden at his place? What was it?

The rest were equally puzzled.

Qin Liuxi opened the red paper wrap, inside were strands of intertwined hair, and a folded piece of paper. Unfolding it, it was a marriage contract with the birth dates of two people.

"What’s going on, what is all this?" Everyone felt chills down their spines.

Qin Liuxi handed the marriage contract to Luo Qi, "You’ve been married, no wonder having bridal bed nights every night, experiencing waves of passion!"

Luo Qi: "!"
