Fu Yuanxiao raised his eyes and looked at the furious Mu Chengxuan, and said quietly: "You haven't told me the reason yet, how can you say that I am a liar? Only if you tell me can I solve it, right?"
Mu Chengxuan paused after hearing this, feeling that what he said made some sense.
"I followed your instructions and put the talisman on my father's body, but my father would still get up in the middle of the night to seek death. If I hadn't been worried about keeping watch at night, my father would have died."
When Fu Yuanxiao heard this, there was doubt in his eyes, "How could it not work?"
Mu Chengxuan said angrily: "I still want to ask you."
Fu Yuanxiao said: "I will go with you to see your father."
After hearing this, Mu Chengxuan suppressed his anger and said, "Okay."
Qin Chi started to clean up the stall without waiting for Fu Yuanxiao's instructions.
It's not far from Mu Mansion, just across three streets.
Fu Yuanxiao followed Mu Chengxuan in. Wherever he moved, there would be maids and servants bowing to Mu Chengxuan.
When he arrived at the back garden of the mansion, Mu Chengxuan stopped and said to Master Yuanzi, "That's my dad."
Fu Yuanxiao followed his gaze and saw two people in the pavilion, a man and a woman, both around forty years old.
No need to ask, the man is Mu Chengxuan's father.
The couple is sitting there drinking tea, the scene is very warm.
However, behind the man stood a woman wearing a light green dress, with disheveled hair, and her face could not be seen.
"I'll call her over and ask."
Mu Chengxuan asked doubtfully: "You want to find my father?"
Fu Yuanxiao said: "No, it's the female ghost who led your father to seek death."
Mu Chengxuan opened his eyes wide when he heard this, "Can you really see it?"
Fu Yuanxiao looked up at Mu Chengxuan, "Do you want to see it?"
Driven by curiosity, Mu Chengxuan nodded, "I think so."
"Let's go then." Fu Yuanxiao took the lead and walked towards the pavilion.
Mu Chengxuan walked over with doubts.
Mu Yueheng saw his son coming, glanced at the young man beside him, and asked, "Is he your friend?"
Mu Chengxuan explained: "Dad, he is the one who sets up stalls on the street to drive away ghosts."
Mu Yueheng didn't believe this at first, but after experiencing it, he had to believe it.
After serving as an official for several years, he knew that people should not be judged by their appearance, but what ability did this young man, who was several years younger than his son, have?
"Master Motoko, right? What on earth is going on with me?"
Fu Yuanxiao looked at the female ghost behind Mu Yueheng and said, "Just ask her."
Mu Yueheng glanced behind him in confusion, "Who?"
"You'll find out later when you take a look." Fu Yuanxiao reached into the bag, took out a talisman, lit it with a fire stick, and recited the talisman silently.
The three members of the Mu family stared at him with doubts in their eyes.
"Is this possible? Could he be a charlatan?" Mrs. Mu whispered.
Mu Yueheng patted his wife's hand comfortingly, "We'll find out later."
Fu Yuanxiao waved his hand, "That's it."
Mu Chengxuan was the first to see someone standing behind his father. No, it was a female ghost. His eyes widened in fear and he took a few steps back.
Mrs. Mu Yuehengyumu saw a disheveled... ghost suddenly standing behind her. The two of them stood up suddenly and backed away in fright.
Mu Chengxuan stood behind Master Yuanzi, pointed at the figure, and asked with a look of horror: "Who is she?"
Fu Yuanxiao looked at the female ghost and asked, "Who are you? Why do you try to lure Mu Shangshu to death again and again?"
"My name is Mei Niang. I am a girl from an innocent family in Qinghe County." Mei Niang looked at Mu Yueheng and raised her finger to point at him. "He, Mu Yueheng, is my cousin. I will save money to raise money for him." I had enough money to help him go to Beijing to take the exam. He promised to come back and marry me after high school, but he married someone else."
When Mu Yueheng heard the word Mei Niang, his eyes were full of surprise, "You are Mei Niang? How could you, how could you..." Die?
"After high school, I went back to Qinghe County to find you, but your father said that you were already married."
Mei Niang said angrily: "You lied to me. It was clearly you who sent someone back to tell you that you had married a government official's daughter in high school and looked down on me, a commoner. It was you who also ordered that person to spend money to buy me from my father. Let’s go.”
Mei Niang became more and more excited as she spoke, "They tried to insult me after they bought me. I refused to obey and hit the wall and died. It's all because of you. You are a heartless person. Shouldn't you leave with me?"
Mu Yueheng's eyes were full of shock when he heard this. He didn't expect that Mei Niang had gone through this, let alone being deceived in the first place.
"Mei Niang, it's not what you think. I didn't send anyone to find you, let alone spend money to buy you. I did go back to Qinghe County after high school. The Ergouzi in the village can testify that your father just said that you You are married and living a happy life, so please let me not disturb you."
The more Mu Yueheng talked, the more he regretted it. He regretted that he had listened to other people's one-sided words and did not ask Mei Niang personally.
"If I had insisted on looking for you, there wouldn't have been such a misunderstanding. It was all my fault."
Mei Niang was even more excited than before when she heard this, "I don't believe it, you lied to me, you lied to me, you broke your vows and married someone else, you betrayed me."
As Mei Niang spoke, she suddenly rushed toward Mu Yueheng with her teeth and claws wide open.
Seeing this, Mrs. Mu stood in front of Mu Yueheng.
Mu Yueheng was stunned for a moment, pushed her away, and looked at Mei Niang, "Mei Niang, although it was a misunderstanding, I failed you after all."
When Mei Ning saw Mu Yueheng protecting her, she felt even more angry.
"You finally admitted that you betrayed me, you finally admitted, Mu Yueheng, you have caused me so much pain."
Mei Niang's voice was shrill, and tears flowed from her empty eyes.
When Mu Yueheng first married Qingxue, he didn't feel that he had failed anyone.
But now that I know the truth, I feel that I have failed Mei Niang.
"Mei Niang, I'll go with you."
Mu Yueheng burst into tears as he spoke. Sixteen years ago, he cried once when he learned that Mei Niang was getting married, and he felt truly let down.
If Mei Niang wants him to accompany her, then he will leave with her.
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Mu could no longer control her tears. She grabbed Mu Yueheng's sleeves and cried, "Master, what will I do if you leave? Master, don't leave me."
Mu Yueheng looked at Qingxue. Even though he had no feelings when they first got married, after being together for so many years, they naturally had feelings.
"I owe this to Mei Niang. How can a man break his word?"
Mrs. Mu cried even harder when she heard this. She turned to look at Mei Niang, "It was my father who spent the money to buy you."
As soon as he finished speaking, the surroundings were eerily quiet.
Mrs. Mu choked up two sobs and continued: "When Mu Yueheng came to my house, I fell in love with him at first glance. When my father talked about marriage, Mu Yueheng said that he already had a sweetheart and refused to marry me. My father In order to prevent me from being sad, I sent people to Qinghe Village, but these gentlemen didn’t know anything about it.”
Mrs. Mu raised her head and looked at Mu Yueheng, feeling sorry for him.
"Master, I really didn't know that my father would do such a thing. When I found out, I was already pregnant. I was afraid that if I told you, you would leave me."
