Chapter 77: Ghost!!!

How could Xu Jiao be content? Her mind was churning and her innards were on fire from how hard she was trying to think of something. Although Qiao Zhongheng was unambitious, as long as he wanted, he could sweet talk like no one’s business, softening Xu Jiao with a few words.

After hanging out like this for some time, Qiao Zhongheng fell sound asleep while Xu Jiao was turning back and forth, unable to sleep due to her fixation on those 20 taels of silver.

After hiding under the eaves of the house and eavesdropping for half the night, Qiao Mu was tightly clenching his fists from fury.

Her guess was correct. Xu Jiao really did stir up trouble in Xiao Lin’er’s matter. No wonder she warm-heartedly visited her house so diligently and kept persuading her mother to send Xiao Lin’er away as soon as possible. It turned out she could gain a 20-tael bonus from the transaction.

Twenty taels. How pitiful that her younger sis’ life was only worth 20 taels in Xu Jiao’s eyes.

If it were not for her adding fuel to the fire from inside, Xiao Lin’er would not have been picked up by Wu Yanzhen so smoothly.

This g*dd*mn woman!

Qiao Mu pulled out a wall crossing talisman from her pocket and ripped it in half, a cold glint sparkling in her dark eyes.

Xu Jiao turned over on the bed and grievously sighed toward the wall. She was unable to think of any workable solution after thinking it over for half the night; she was truly at her wit’s end.

However, if she had to give up on those 20 taels of silver just like this, she was truly unwilling.

It was all that d*mn child, Qiao Mu’s, fault. If it were not for her putting a spoke in her wheel, Eldest Sister-in-Law would have handed Xiao Lin’er over already, and there would not be so much trouble now!

Xu Jiao turned over again and opened her eyes, feeling her mouth and tongue go dry. She was about to go to the table to pour herself a cup of water when she suddenly saw a black shadow float in front of her.

She instantly jolted from fright, any sleepiness disappearing without a trace. She shot up to a sitting position like a spring and fearfully called out, “Who?”

The perfectly sound asleep Qiao Zhongheng snored like a swine.

Seeing nothing in front of her, Xu Jiao calmed her mind and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She assumed that her eyes were playing tricks on her from lack of sleep, and she was overly anxious.

She did not want to drink water anymore. She half laid down and turned over again, but her eyes promptly shot open, nearly bursting out of their sockets.

There was a small dreary and wretchedly white face dangling in front of her eyes, causing Xu Jiao’s heart to nearly jump out of her chest!

Her mind crashed for three seconds before she could comprehend the scene in front of her. A terror-stricken shriek ripped out of her mouth, startling the sleeping Qiao Zhongheng out of dreamland and causing him to shoot up.

“What? What?” Qiao Zhongheng looked at Xu Jiao and angrily demanded, “Why are you screaming your head off in the middle of the night?”

Xu Jiao pointed behind Qiao Zhongheng. Her lips were trembling and her eyes were cracking from how wide they were. She fixedly stared as the deathly white face on the wall shrank back into the wall little by little and disappeared from sight.

When Qiao Zhongheng looked back, there was nothing but a blank wall.

“Face… face…” Xu Jiao was shuddering from fright.

“What face?” Qiao Zhongheng, who did not see anything, was completely befuddled.

“Ghost!” Xu Jiao’s eyes rolled back, and she fell straight back.

Qiao Mu wiped away the dust smeared on her face before turning to look at the brightly lit house of Qiao Zhongheng, a cold smile turning up on her lips.

Afraid already? ‘Good days’ are waiting ahead of you!

Between a sway of the trees and the next, the little girl’s figure swiftly disappeared from the dark residence. A floor of leaves deposited by the light breeze was all that remained.

Early next morning, Qiao Mu was woken up by the commotion of supplies being unloaded outside.

She jumped up energetically, messily wiping her face before sprinting outside. She ran into Wei Ziqin on the way out, who asked with a face of curiosity, “Qiaoqiao, a group of people are outside saying they came to deliver goods for you.”
