Chapter 111 I never expected ghosts to teach this kind of thing.
Zhai Rongyu said at the right moment, "Yes, Father, you were frightened today, you should rest well."
I need to go to the ancestral hall to meet this second concubine first.
This person doesn't seem very bright.
[Perhaps we can get some information out of them.]
Minister Zhai pondered for a moment, then nodded.
Since Rong'er went to get information from the second aunt, he would go and sound out the fourth aunt's opinion.
With their combined efforts, father and daughter will surely be able to get to the bottom of this.
Minister Zhai, with his hands behind his back, said to Fourth Concubine, "You've put your heart into this."
"In that case, I will go and have my meal."
Fourth Concubine was overjoyed upon hearing this and immediately responded happily, "Yes! Yes! I will help Master over there."
Minister Zhai waved his hand, "No need."
He flicked his long sleeves, put his hands behind his back, and walked straight to the back of the house.
Fourth Aunt didn't mind at all and followed behind him with a smile.
The master never used to go to her courtyard, but today he actually agreed to go there for a meal!
Who knows, I might even stay overnight at her place...
Thinking of this, her pretty face flushed red.
After all these years of hard work, we're finally about to make it!
*
The ancestral hall in the backyard.
The second concubine stood in front of the memorial tablets, angrily kicking the prayer mat at her feet further away.
"Kneel, kneel, kneel! What's there to kneel for!"
"They're just a bunch of inanimate objects, how could they possibly protect our homes?!"
"Oh dear! Auntie!" Her personal maid, Guizhi, exclaimed in alarm as she hurriedly carried the prayer mat back to its original position.
"These are the ancestors of the Zhai family!"
"If the master finds out that you have disrespected our ancestors, I don't know how he will punish you!"
"Please don't be so temperamental..."
She ran to the door, carefully looked left and right, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that no one was around before closing the door.
"This servant just came over and saw the master go to the fourth concubine's courtyard. This is the first time in so many years..."
"What did you say?!" Second Aunt exclaimed, interrupting her.
The master actually went to her courtyard?!
OK……
Who would have thought her fourth sister had such abilities!
She gritted her teeth, her eyes blazing with jealousy.
Both being sisters from the Sang family, they went together to fetch their master back to the mansion, but what happened? She's suffering here, while her fourth sister is enjoying the bliss of having two wives!
She grew angrier the more she thought about it, so she simply plopped down on the prayer mat.
Guizhi, standing behind her, didn't see the anger on her face and assumed she was just too surprised, so she tried to comfort her:
"Fourth Aunt is your sister. Once she pleases the master, she will definitely plead for you."
"Then, Auntie can leave."
"Heh." The second aunt sneered, "My fourth sister is ambitious beyond measure, and she has always wanted to compete with me for everything since she was little."
"Even when I took a fancy to the master, she was willing to become a concubine and come into the mansion with me!"
"Will she plead for me?"
"I bet she'll be laughing her head off when she sees me being punished!"
Second Aunt pursed her lips.
She had witnessed her fourth sister's methods firsthand.
If she hadn't been neglected by the master all these years, who knows how many schemes she would have suffered at his hands!
They weren't biological sisters, just daughters of concubines in the Sang family. How could they expect her to actually speak up for them?
It seems she'll have a good stay in this ancestral hall.
Thinking of this, the second concubine's mind conjured up the image of Madam Zhai's stunning beauty. She bit her lip, her eyes turning venomous.
It's all her cousin's fault!
She monopolized the master while he was alive, and even in death she can't let anyone have peace! She only mentioned it briefly, and she's been punished to this extent!
Zhenzhen'er is a femme fatale, a jinx who brings disaster!
Thinking of this, she got up and walked to Madam Zhai's memorial tablet, and spat inwardly.
"Cousin, you were so promiscuous in life, driving so many men crazy and insane. How come you still have such charm after death, making the master protect you so much?"
"If you are watching from heaven, please teach your sister this seductive and bewitching skill."
Guizhi was shocked upon hearing this and quickly went to her second aunt's side, "Aunt! What are you saying!"
"Be careful that trouble comes from your mouth!"
She glanced at Madam Zhai's memorial tablet with lingering fear, muttering to herself, "Please forgive me, Madam, please forgive me..."
The second aunt rolled her eyes dismissively.
A lackey is a lackey.
They're incredibly timid, like sesame seeds or mung beans.
People are dead, what is there to be afraid of?
Just as I was thinking this, a sudden gust of cold wind swept through the ancestral hall, causing the candles on the offering table to sway in the wind and emit a chilling aura.
The temperature in the ancestral hall suddenly dropped a few degrees.
"Aunt, Aunt..."
Guizhi stammered, "Could it be that the Madam has appeared to us..."
Second Aunt swallowed hard, still feeling a bit scared, and unconsciously moved closer to Guizhi, but still said stubbornly, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Where did this ghost come from in broad daylight..."
No sooner had the words been spoken than a shadowy figure suddenly appeared behind the gauze curtain of the ancestral hall.
A woman dressed in white, with her hair disheveled, murmured in a soft voice, "Cousin...cousin..."
"what!!!!"
Second Aunt and Guizhi were so frightened that they huddled together.
Guizhi was already terrified, and when her arm was pinched by her second aunt's long nails, she couldn't hold on and fainted.
The second concubine glanced at her in a panic, secretly regretting that she didn't have such abilities.
I fainted suddenly.
The "female ghost" raised her hand, her snow-white sleeves fluttering in the air, making her appear even more eerie.
Second Aunt's legs gave way and she fell to the ground, tears welling up in her eyes, dragging herself backward.
"You...you don't come any closer..." she said in a trembling voice.
“Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt its debtor…” Zhai Rongyu pinched her throat to suppress a laugh, trying to make her voice sound ethereal and eerie.
She and Madam Zhai looked about 70-80% alike; from a distance, it was impossible to tell them apart.
In addition, the second concubine had something to hide, which is why she was able to deceive her.
But that’s fine too.
This also saves her from wasting talisman paper.
"Yes...yes! Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt its debtor!" The second concubine's voice suddenly became shrill. "You should go find the fourth sister!"
"She's the one who ruined you!"
You should go find her!
Zhai Rongyu lowered her sleeves, her gaze turning somewhat cold.
[It really was that fourth concubine.]
However, this second concubine spoke rudely to my mother just now, so she must have caused her a lot of trouble when she was alive.
I need to teach her a lesson on behalf of my mother.
A slight smile played on her lips, and her eyes sparkled with mischief.
“Cousin, don’t be afraid…” Zhai Rongyu raised his voice again, “Just now you called for me to appear, so I’ve come to teach you how to seduce men…”
Second Aunt was stunned.
She never imagined that ghosts would teach such things.
She asked, still somewhat doubtful, "You...you would be so kind?"
Zhai Rongyu was so engrossed in her acting that she made up a bunch of stories: "This is a secret technique I used in my lifetime, and I refuse to teach it to anyone..."
"I never imagined that now that I'm gone, only my cousin is still willing to come and pay her respects before my memorial tablet..."
"Very well, I will pass on this secret to my cousin."
"Does my cousin want to learn?"
Although it was outrageous, thinking of the glory days when countless men fell at the feet of Madam Zhai, the second concubine mustered her courage and said in a trembling voice, "I...I want to!"
"Cousin, please teach me!"
Zhai Rong bit her lower lip hard, swallowing back the laughter that was about to escape her throat.
She began teaching in a very serious manner.
