▶▶ Master Hou Madam Went To the Sky Bridge Again To Set Up a Stall
Qin Mei insisted on not going home, and Qin Ruan couldn't force him to leave.
She compromised and allowed her second brother to stay, instructing the servants to take him to a guest room to rest.
But Qin Mei still protested, "I can't sleep at a time like this. Who can sleep?"
He held Snowball in his arms, stroking its soft fur absentmindedly.
He spoke, "Ruan Ruan, I heard everything that woman who stood by Nangong Chang said to you. Why don't you call elder brother Hou?"
Qin Ruan's voice was cold, "We're not that close, and it wouldn't be convenient to disturb him."
Since she moved into the Hou family, she could count on one hand the number of times she had seen Hou Junxin.
She felt genuinely guilty about inconveniencing him.
Lin Hao frowned at her words, "Ruan Ruan, I think it would be safer to make a phone call."
Qin Ruan raised an eyebrow, "Why do you say that?"
Lin Hao replied, "In case Nangong Chang really comes looking for trouble and there are no Hou family members around, you'll be at a disadvantage."
Qin Ruan remained calm, her eyes calm and serene, "The prerequisite is that the people from the Nangong family can get to the door."
She spoke lightly, her voice as sharp as a blade.
Especially in the last few words, she emphasized her tone.
The dominant aura hidden beneath her gentle appearance radiated subtly.
Qin Ruan took off her shoes, as she had worn a pair of low-heeled shoes to match her evening gown for the banquet. She hadn't walked many steps that night, but her feet were beginning to ache.
Even after changing into her indoor shoes, she couldn't relieve the discomfort.
She placed her feet on the sofa, slowly curling and stretching her toes to alleviate the discomfort.
Qin Mei widened his eyes, "Ruan Ruan, do you have a plan?"
Lin Hao also looked at Qin Ruan with curiosity.
Qin Ruan looked up, meeting their gazes, and smiled, "The chances of the Nangong family showing up tonight are very low. You both can go rest and don't worry."
Qin Mei shook his head, "I'm not at ease."
He couldn't remain calm at the moment and was constantly worried that the Nangong family would make a move against Qin Ruan.
Back when they framed their eldest brother, their methods were extremely sinister.
Lin Hao also shook his head at Qin Ruan, "Let's wait a little longer."
He was also worried about a sudden attack from the Nangong family.
With the second and third young masters of the Hou family absent, and the master of the house often absent, the current situation in the Hou family relied solely on the old master.
But the old master had long ceased to involve himself in worldly matters.
In recent years, unless there was a major event, he would generally seclude himself in his own small building, focusing on self-cultivation.
At this time, the old master should already be resting.
Qin Ruan's voice sounded softly, "Don't blame me for not reminding you. I'll reveal the ghosts later, so don't cry when you see it."
Qin Mei remained silent.
Lin Hao's face twisted momentarily.
But for Qin Ruan's safety, they held themselves back.
When Qin Mei heard the word "ghost," his heart skipped a beat.
Soon, he realized what Qin Ruan meant and a glimmer of light appeared in his eyes, "Ruan Ruan, are you planning to use the ghost to scare the Nangong family?"
Qin Ruan shook her head, "The Nangong family owes a debt, and I plan to give them a little push to make them unable to protect themselves."
Lin Hao's face showed a pensive expression, and then he suddenly realized, "Li Manning?"
Li Manning was a top actress in the entertainment industry who had already passed away.
She was still searching for her enemies to this day.
The only thing Lin Hao could think of was the entanglement between Li Manning and Nangong Chang.
Unfortunately, he guessed wrong.
Unfortunately, he guessed wrong.
Qin Ruan shook her head again.
She rubbed her slightly sore ankles and sat up straight.
Her beautiful eyes focused on Qin Mei and Lin Hao, and she asked again, "Are you sure you won't go back to your rooms?"
Both of them shook their heads firmly, their attitudes resolute.
Qin Ruan sighed and, under their gaze, reached out her hand and quickly formed a gesture.
A cold and solemn aura filled the spacious living room.
Qin Ruan parted her red lips, her voice authoritative and deep, "The Ten Yama Kings command me to kill ghosts, with my divine methods, I exterminate and slay, no god shall defy, no ghost dare resist, where is Li Manning? Return immediately!"
The lights in the living room dimmed, and a chilling air pervaded the atmosphere.
Qin Mei and Lin Hao instinctively crossed their arms.
Even Snowball opened its eyes, its fur standing on end.
Its emerald green eyes stared straight at the direction of the door.
Snowball behaved as if it had encountered a natural enemy, being on high alert and assuming a defensive posture.
Wearing a white dress, with delicate features and a slightly pale complexion, Li Manning appeared at the door, looking harmless like any normal person.
She floated slowly from outside, her eyes emitting a chilling gleam, falling upon Qin Ruan, who was sitting on the sofa.
"You finally remembered me. I thought you had forgotten about me," Li Manning complained as soon as she opened her mouth.
These days, she had been experiencing a rather unpleasant time outside.
After finding that Taoist, she wanted to come and see Qin Ruan, but she couldn't enter the Hou family's gates at all.
The last time she came, it was Qin Ruan who brought her in.
This time, she wanted to come in to find Qin Ruan, but she was hindered by the golden light enveloping the Hou family.
Li Manning was still wearing the nightgown she had on when she died, showcasing her graceful figure without a doubt.
Seeing her arrival, Qin Ruan put down her hand and patted the spot next to her, "Come, have a seat."
Qin Mei, who couldn't see Li Manning, felt goosebumps all over his body from her actions.
He couldn't see Li Manning, but he knew that a ghost had appeared in the room.
Snowball in his arms let out a cautious low meow.
"Meow——"
Hearing the cat demon's cry, red light flashed in Li Manning's eyes.
Her cold gaze locked onto the cat demon, standing on Qin Mei's leg.
"Meow!"
Snowball let out a sharp, piercing cry towards Li Manning.
Seeing this, Qin Mei picked up Snowball from his leg and moved away from Qin Ruan's position.
He was afraid of the ghosts and even more afraid of the unknown fear lurking in the darkness.
Qin Ruan, seeing her second brother move closer to Lin Hao, smiled faintly.
Earlier, she had asked them to go back to their rooms, but now they realized the fear.
Qin Mei met his younger sister's gaze, straightened his posture, and showed a fearless expression.
Qin Ruan's smile deepened, she withdrew her gaze, and looked at Li Manning.
She asked, "Did you find the Taoist?"
"I found him." Li Manning floated over to sit next to Qin Ruan.
Curious about Qin Ruan's certainty, she asked, "How did you know?"
After all, she hadn't been in contact with Qin Ruan during this period.
Qin Ruan gave her a mysterious smile, "The movements of the Taoist have been recorded by the Netherworld. Since there has been no action from the lower realms, I guessed that you should have found the other party."
"Tsk!" Li Manning's face turned sour. She felt like her studio was under constant surveillance even after death.
Thinking about the difficulty of entering the Hou family, she asked in confusion, "What's the matter with the Hou family? Why can't I enter?"
Qin Ruan lowered her gaze and said in a light tone, "The Huo family has a barrier that prevents any evil from approaching."
She discovered this later. The Hou family was too clean.
Clean to the extent that there was no trace of any evil spirits.
It wasn't until one day that she discovered an invisible barrier surrounding the Hou family, a barrier specifically targeting evil spirits.
Qin Ruan shook her head again.
She rubbed her slightly sore ankles and sat up straight.
Her beautiful eyes focused on Qin Mei and Lin Hao, and she asked again, "Are you sure you won't go back to your rooms?"
Both of them shook their heads firmly, their attitudes resolute.
