Chapter 1414: The cause of chaos

adventure, actions and ahem snu snu...

****************

Zheng Baobei was filled with regret and sadness. If she had known that her end would be like this, she would have done everything in her power to fight back against the two women.

Now she was dead and the whereabouts of her elder daughter were unknown. She had no idea where Zheng Baozhi sent her daughter.

"Master Song, please help me find my daughter," Zheng Baobei pleaded in front of Song Yan. "I know my daughter very well, she would never do something as foolish as eloping with a servant. She was born and raised to respect her family and the ideals that I have taught her are ones that she would never forget. How could she do something so foolish as eloping without marrying the man?"

"My daughter is a woman of pride and courage, even if she fell in love with a servant, she would have brought the man in front of her father instead of eloping. I beg you, Master Song, please help me."

Song Yan narrowed her eyes. With her arms crossed she carefully thought about what Zheng Baobei told her. According to her, the eldest daughter of the Lai family wouldn't have eloped.

"Then..." There was only one possibility: the malicious ghost that was haunting Zheng Baozhi was none other than Master Lai and Zheng Baobei's daughter.

When Song Yan thought about this possibility a chill climbed up her spine. She knew that Zheng Baozhi was a ruthless woman but she never thought that she and her mother not only killed Zheng Baobei but also used her daughter for something so sinister.

However, she did not tell the truth to Zheng Baobei as her Yin aura was still unstable. If she were to know that her daughter was killed by Zheng Baozhi, she might end up turning into a malicious spirit herself.

Handling one malicious spirit was bad enough, Song Yan did not wish to add more trouble to her plate.

CLANG!

Song Yan turned to look in the direction of where the sudden noise came from and saw Fu Rong and Fu Yu Shen lying on the floor. They most probably were eavesdropping but the gossip that they heard was so shocking that Fu Rong lost her footing.

"Did you hear what she said?" Song Yan asked. Usually speaking, humans can't hear or see ghosts unless they cultivate to do so. However, the Fu family had the aura of the Heavenly Emperor and had been living with ghosts for some time.

So it was not a surprise that they could see and hear the ghosts. Of course, for them, the ghosts were just a mass of Yin energy for now.

"I...I did," Fu Rong answered while Fu Yu Shen nodded while hiding behind his little sister. He couldn't be blamed, the room looked especially scary with four black figures standing inside.

Their figure looked smoky and terrifying which terrified Fu Yu Sheng in ways that he did not know how to explain.

Song Yan glanced at Fu Yu Shen and Fu Rong who were shivering from head to toe and sighed. She waved her hand and summoned the ghosts back into the Ghost Ring while Ni Ah and Little Ming went to the Jade Space.

Only then did the two siblings stop trembling.

"Sister-in-law, is ...is it true? Zheng Baozhi really stole the credits of her sister?" Fu Rong asked tentatively, she really did not want to believe that Zheng Baozhi was such a person. After all, she had admired that woman for a long time and hoped that one day, her fashion art would be revered in just the same manner as Zheng Baozhi.

Who would have thought that the woman she had long admired would be a person like such?

Song Yan turned to look at Fu Rong and sighed. She got up from the couch where she was sitting and then walked forward. With her arms crossed in front, she said to Fu Rong, "It is true. Zheng Baozhi holds no good fortune, she was destined to die as a pauper but somehow she is living a wonderful life. Isn't there something fishy about this matter?"

Now Song Yan was more or less certain that Madam Zheng and Zheng Baozhi found out that there was something wrong with her fortune and thus did something to Zheng Baobei's daughter.

Fu Rong and Fu Yu Sheng did not expect that they would actually find out that Zheng Baozhi was a plagiarist and a rotten woman, just by bringing a tray of fruits to Song Yan. The piece of news was so exciting that they did not know what to do with it.

They also guessed that Zheng Baobei was killed by Zheng Baozhi who stole her work as well as her husband and family. Not to mention she must have done something to the daughter of Zheng Baobei as well.

Since this woman was so ruthless as to kill her half-sister as well as harm Zheng Baobei's daughter, she was not a simple woman. After all, not many would have a heart strong enough to kill someone and then replace them. From this alone, Fu Rong and Fu Yu Shen could see that every step that Zheng Baozhi took was premeditated.

Zheng Baozhi, a woman like her was not only meticulous and smart but she was also ruthless to her bones!

Fu Rong and Fu Yu Shen glanced at one another before turning their attention to Song Yan. "Whats the matter?" Song Yan raised her head and looked at the two siblings who were staring at her as if they wanted to say something to her.

"Sister-in-law, can't you ignore this case?" Fu Rong naturally did not want Song Yan to come in contact with someone as dangerous as Zheng Baozhi. What if that woman does something to Song Yan if she finds out that Song Yan knew of her identity?

Fu Yu Shen also nodded by her side. He said to Song Yan, "Sister-in-law, it's better to leave this matter alone. You shouldn't go and deal with that malicious spirit! Zheng Baozhi deserves to be haunted to death for doing such terrible things."

Song Yan agreed with Fu Yu Shen-- Zheng Baozhi indeed deserved to be haunted to death. Now that she knew that the fame that Zheng Baozhi was enjoying belonged to Zheng Baobei, she also felt that Zheng Baozhi deserved to die.

But Master Lai had already sent her the down payment to save Zheng Baozhi and secondly, there was another matter --

Who taught Zheng Baozhi to eat the flesh and bones of a human? And why?

If she left that matter alone for now, she was worried that Zheng Baozhi would ruin many lives because in the past she was alive.

Thats right. Song Yan had gone through everything that happened in her past life and she finally remembered a memory where Zheng Baozhi was very much alive. Not only was that woman alive but she also had a very successful exhibition in an abroad city.

It was such a good exhibition that many people in their country believed that Zheng Baozhi had brought fame and reputation to the country.

Because of that, she was not only revered but also protected by the higher-ups of the country.

'It must be because that woman found a way to obliterate that malicious spirit that was

haunting her,' Song Yan thought with a pondering look on her face.

It could only mean one thing-- that woman was able to get her hand on the dark arts practitioner who asked her to eat the flesh of a human including everything inside of a human

body.

Since she knew that Zheng Baozhi did not have any relation with fortune and the skills that she was showing off around, she wanted to see what Zheng Baozhi did to get hold of such fine

skills that she was revered by all.

Song Yan smiled at the two siblings and said, "I have already accepted the payment. I need to go. Besides, there is one thing that I need to confirm." What she wanted to confirm was that the malicious spirit that was haunting Zheng Baozhi was the spirit of Zheng Baobei's daughter. If that was the case then it meant that Zheng Baozhi actually ate her niece.

"Did you find out who is the celestial master who saved the Ji and the Tang family?" A woman sitting on the floor while dressed in a brilliant red dress, questioned the man kneeling outside

the tea room.

Her hands skillfully made two cups of tea and she started to pour it in two cups.

"No...My lady. It seems like the identity of the master is special---"

"АННН!"

The man screamed in pain when the hot tea flew over him and splashed right on his face. His body tilted to one side and he fell on the floor while the woman who was sitting a second ago loomed over him.

Her dark eyes flashed with a dangerous glint as she leaned down and tipped the head of the man, "Special? Do you have any idea how long I have waited to rule this place? The fact that the noble families of the S city were able to escape us was one thing but now even the capital is getting out of our control. Do you dare repeat those words in front of me!"
