Rebirth: Ghost Exorciser

1438 Conspiracy

It had to be said that Zhuang Yanru knew the right words to say. The Zhuang family ancestor’s expression relaxed at her words. Looking at Zhuang Yanru with a rare expression of gentleness, he praised, “Good, good, good. As expected of the disciple I chose.”

The Zhuang family uncles and Father Zhuang felt that there had to be a reason why the ancestor valued Zhuang Yanru.

Seeing the gentle expression on the Zhuang family ancestor’s face, Zhuang Yanru increasingly felt that she had made the right decision. Besides, she really couldn’t bear to part with the benefits afforded to her because of this Zhuang family ancestor. Without this ancestor, she was nothing at all in the Zhuang family.

She hated that Qi Zhenbai looked down on her.

This was the recent grievance and unwillingness she had been unable to get rid of.

No one knew how Zhuang Yanru’s mentality had been shaped from young by the fact that she was a daughter and hence wasn’t liked in the Zhuang family. It was precisely because of this that not only was she more vengeful than ordinary people, she was also narrow-minded. If she couldn’t have the person or thing she wanted, she would just destroy them.

Thinking this, a smile appeared on Zhuang Yanru’s face. Sooner or later, Qi Zhenbai would regret treating her like this. However, she still quite regretted that she couldn’t marry into the Qi family. Not to mention Qi Zhenbai’s looks, the Zhuang family couldn’t compare with the Qi family’s power in the capital. If she really became the young madam of the Qi family, she wouldn’t have to fight for power in the Zhuang family, and would have some measure of security. She itched to become someone whom everyone wanted to curry favor with.

Zhuang Yanru was also a smart person, and she knew that the Zhuang family ancestor no longer had any thoughts about her marrying into the Qi family. She could only curb her thoughts and adjust her mindset. Without waiting for the Zhuang family ancestor to speak, Zhuang Yanru immediately said, “Master, I’ll call the fourth son of the Qi family immediately to let him know.”

The fourth son of the Qi family was still fantasizing about his nephew, Qi Zhenbai, suddenly dying, and the old man appointing him to be the head of the Qi family, when Zhuang Yanru’s phone call interrupted his daydream. The fourth son of the Qi family said in disbelief and anger, “Wait, Miss Zhuang, didn’t your ancestor say a few days ago that my nephew, Zhenbai, was dead for sure? What’s going on now?”

How wonderful his dream had been before was how much of a blow it was now for the fourth son of the Qi family. He suppressed the anger in his heart. How could he accept that his nephew wasn’t dead?

Zhuang Yanru liked to talk to smart people. Conversely, every time she spoke to or met this fourth son of the Qi family, her mood was indescribable. How could such a stupid person covet the position of family head?

The fourth son of the Qi family was still very afraid of the Zhuang family ancestor. The main reason was that he knew that the other party was a real expert. Not to mention that he couldn’t afford to offend him, he didn’t dare to. Seeing that Zhuang Yanru didn’t reply, he hurriedly restrained his tone and immediately said carefully, “No, no, Miss Zhuang. Didn’t your ancestor say that Zhenbai is sure to die? Why is he returning to the capital after a few days? Then what about me?”

Although Zhuang Yanru was very disdainful of this fourth son of the Qi family, her attitude was quite good. “Fourth Master Qi, you should know that your nephew has hallowed fate and he’s not an ordinary person. My master said before that this person is blessed by the heavens. It’s not unexpected that he escaped death and returned to the capital safely. However, don’t worry, Fourth Master Qi. We still have other plans. Just follow them!”

After listening to Zhuang Yanru, the fourth son of the Qi family was appeased, but still felt a little worried. Zhuang Yanru knew what he was thinking. Without waiting for him to speak, she immediately said, “Fourth Master Qi, don’t worry. The plan this time is foolproof. It’s unlikely that he’ll escape death again. You’ll definitely be the future head of the Qi family.”

The fourth son of the Qi family was coaxed by Zhuang Yanru’s words and was all smiles. He immediately forgot about losing his temper at Zhuang Yanru and immediately replied, “Miss Zhuang, no problem. When I suggested it to my father before, his attitude pretty much softened. I’ll persuade him again, and he’ll agree tonight.”

Zhuang Yanru was naturally very satisfied with Fourth Master Qi’s answer.

After settling the matter, the fourth son of the Qi family called the Qi family’s old residence again. When the old man picked up the call, the fourth son immediately said, “Dad, the experts have already told me that it’s best for our ancestral grave to be moved tomorrow. It’ll be good for the family.”

The Qi family patriarch didn’t quite understand his fourth son’s insistence on moving the ancestral grave, but the experts whom his fourth son had brought over did indeed have some ability to read feng shui. Moreover, the place where the ancestral grave would be moved to was indeed a good place. There was a dragon vein hidden under it, which would allow the Qi family to prosper. That was why the Qi family patriarch’s displeasure with his fourth son had lessened slightly. Seeing that his son had indeed done something practical, he gave him some face and even specially handed this matter over to him. Actually, the Qi family patriarch still wanted Zhenbai’s wife to take a good look at moving the grave.

But Haozi had said that Zhenbai’s wife couldn’t be contacted recently and was probably busy, so Grandpa Qi could only give up. However, he could see that the feng shui experts whom his fourth son had brought before did have some skills. Thinking this, Grandpa Qi didn’t dwell on it anymore and directly agreed to his fourth son’s request.

The main reason was that the old man didn’t ask for much. He really didn’t care if moving the grave would make the Qi family rich or not – it was enough as long as everyone was protected. Besides, the old man had keen vision; as long as Zhenbai was around, the Qi family would never fall. As for his fourth son, it was rare for him to think about the family. Seeing his good intentions, Grandpa Qi didn’t discourage him.

So, the fourth son of the Qi family quickly obtained the old man’s permission to move the ancestral grave. He was so happy that he beamed with joy. If not for the fact that he was worried that the old man would hear him, he would have stomped his feet in excitement. He suppressed his excitement and only calmed down after a long while. “Dad, don’t worry, I’ll definitely handle this beautifully!”

After hanging up, the fourth son of the Qi family immediately called Zhuang Yanru to tell her about it. When Zhuang Yanru found out that he had settled things, she was naturally very happy and relieved. However, when she thought of how she hadn’t obtained a man like Qi Zhenbai, and how he was solicitous toward another woman, she still felt very resentful.

Qi Zhenbai, who was in a hotel near the mountain village, didn’t know that his fourth uncle had already laid a trap for him to jump into in the capital, and wanted him dead. As for Chi Shuyan, this wasn’t something she foresaw, mainly because she had yet to think about how things might have changed because of her rebirth and brought forward the moment Qi Zhenbai encountered a death calamity.

The next morning, Chi Shuyan was still musing over the fact that she hadn’t found the black-robed man’s soul, as well as the cause of the violent fluctuations of baleful aura in the hotel last night. Speaking of which, she had the same thought as the black-robed man: They both thought that there was something huge hiding in the hotel. Unfortunately, she hadn’t found anything after searching the entire hotel last night.

While she was deep in thought, Director Wang and the others came downstairs and saw Master Chi eating breakfast alone. Their attitudes were enthusiastic and obsequious. They quickly walked over and called out solicitously, “Oh, Master, Master Chi! You’re up so early?”
