Chapter 6 The Su family's patriarch could not bear her kneeling.

The male ghost froze for a moment, tears of blood streaming from his eyes. "Mother, save me! Old Madam, save me..."

Qingbao poked the blind man, "You shouldn't have asked that."

"When asking questions, you should consider the cause and effect. You should ask who bribed him to harm my mother."

The little guy spoke with a serious expression, standing next to the blind man like a tiny figurine.

"What do you know, you little brat? Get out of the way," the blind man scolded her.

Qingbao snorted, stepped forward, and held the judge's pen in her hand.

“Su Dazhuang, tell me the truth, who bribed you to harm Si He! If you tell the truth, I might spare you.”

"Qingbao, are you out of your mind? How dare you ask about ghosts? Come back here and stop causing trouble!"

When Madam Su heard Qingbao ask this question, she was afraid that Su Dazhuang would confess.

Su Xiao looked displeased, stepped forward, hugged Qingbao, and intended to take her away.

Si He blocked Qing Bao's way, saying, "General, don't you want to know who harmed me?"

As everyone knows, the soul cannot lie, because lying is considered to diminish one's blessings and will result in a harsher punishment.

"You're letting her cause trouble too? I think you've really gone mad!" Su Xiao said angrily, pushing Si He aside to take Qingbao away.

But then...

Su Dazhuang sensed the baby's presence and pushed Su Xiao away with a wave of his hand.

Shouting, "It was Old Madam Su who gave me ten taels of silver to kidnap and defile Sihe. I didn't defile her! I didn't defile her!"

The voice was terrifying and hoarse, and while the villagers were frightened, they also looked at Old Madam Su in disbelief.

Just now, Madam Su was speaking up for her daughter-in-law, but it turns out it was all an act.

"You're talking nonsense! You actually believe such lies?" Old Madam Su said angrily, turning to the clan leader.

"Chieftain, you must not believe him! He's a ghost! He's trying to drag a living person down with him. How could I possibly harm my daughter-in-law!"

The clan chief shook off her hand and said coldly, "It's common knowledge that ghosts don't lie!"

"Madam Su, how could you do such a thing? You have no face to worship your ancestors!"

With a single sentence from the clan chief, Old Madam Su was stripped of her right to worship her ancestors.

This is a great disgrace; her son has returned with merit, yet she, as his mother, is not allowed to enter the ancestral hall to pay her respects.

Old Madam Su staggered and fell backward.

The villagers all looked at her with disdain.

Instead, I felt a little sorry for Sihe and her daughter.

“Sihe, the old lady is my mother. Even if she did something wrong, you shouldn’t hold it against her. You should plead with the clan leader. Qingbao, don’t say anything more.”

Su Xiao frowned and glanced at Qingbao with disgust.

If Qingbao hadn't been so talkative, his mother wouldn't have been deprived of the right to offer sacrifices.

Qingbao looked indignant, "She dares to do it but not admit it, she's not even as good as a three-year-old. Shame on her, even the ancestors of the Su family don't want to be worshipped by her."

The Su family ancestors accumulated good deeds for three generations over a hundred years to produce a general, but unexpectedly, he had such a character.

"You!" This was the first time Su Xiao had ever considered hitting a child.

Qingbao looked at him with disdain.

"Besides, my mother didn't say anything. You're so capable, why don't you boss the clan chief around? You wouldn't dare, would you? You're a bully who picks on the weak and fears the strong. Why be a general? You might as well be a turtle!"

"General, General, this was the old lady's fault to begin with, let's just forget about it."

"If you plead for leniency again, your reputation may be implicated."

"She's a child, don't act impulsively."

The villagers pulled Su Xiao along.

Su Xiao had no choice but to swallow his anger, but his disgust for Si He deepened.

"Your Honor, please let me go to the underworld," Su Dazhuang cried out hoarsely, though it was unclear who he was calling for.

He just wanted to escape from here as soon as possible, to break free from the torment of being torn apart by the female ghost's claws.

Qingbao suddenly replied, "No one can decide your karma. You should ask the female ghost behind you if she's willing to let you go."

At this moment, the female ghost's ears twitched slightly. She heard Qingbao's voice and immediately released Su Dazhuang's soul.

He knelt down in front of Qingbao with a thud.

"Your Honor, may the righteous and just ruler deliver justice! A year ago, my mother-in-law, Jiang, had an affair with her lover and hid him in my room. I was forced to take the blame for her because of oppression. My husband, Su Dazhuang, even took money from the lover and sent me to him to be abused..."

"I was drowned in a pig cage and died with resentment in my heart. My resentment was so strong that even the ghost messengers couldn't move me. I beg Your Honor to deliver justice and severely punish the wicked!!!"

Her kneeling posture was bizarre, like someone curled up in a pig cage before dying.

Madam Su was shocked.

I never expected that Aunt Ba would be this kind of person.

Aunt Ba was terrified. She pointed at the female ghost, her voice trembling, and said...

"Blind man, don't believe her! She was a liar in life, and after death she has taken many lives. Quickly, beat her so she can never be reincarnated!"

They all mistook the judge mentioned by the female ghost for the blind man in front of them.

The blind man's lips were trembling, and he couldn't speak.

Qingbao then asked, "How did Su Dazhuang die?"

The female ghost respectfully said, "He lost too much blood and his yang energy was depleted. I possessed his body and smashed him to death against a rock!"

These words were spoken.

Aunt Ba could no longer sit still. She screamed at the top of her lungs, "You killed my son! You killed my son! I'm going to kill you!"

The pain of losing her son has overshadowed her fear.

Aunt Ba lunged at the female ghost, but the ghost grabbed her throat tightly.

Qingbao quickly covered her eyes: "Oh dear, I can't look, I can't look!"

A life for a life—that's only right and proper.

Qingbao naturally wouldn't stop her.

The blind man used all his knowledge to perform rituals to save people, but his skills were no match for the deeply resentful female ghost.

The clan chief kept urging, "Don't kill her! I'll erect a tombstone for you and find someone to perform a ritual to help you pass on to the afterlife. Please don't kill your own mother-in-law!"

However, even when he mustered up the courage to communicate with the female ghost, she couldn't hear him.

They strangled Aunt Ba, who was still struggling, to death.

Aunt Ba's spirit also emerged, and with red eyes, she lunged at the female ghost.

Qingbao could see it now, and she secretly waved her judge's pen, "Go and be judged!"

Hehe, Qingbao is afraid that she can't beat the female ghost in a two-on-one fight.

Although she is not in the underworld, she has returned to the human world, and that old Yama will definitely step in and handle things officially.

Aunt Ba will not have a good ending.

The female ghost refused to forgive her husband and mother-in-law, and directly tore Su Dazhuang's soul apart and swallowed him whole.

Out of consideration for the good deeds the female ghost had done in her previous life, Qingbao allowed her to enter the underworld alone.

This is even more powerful than a ritual to deliver the dead.

It's like having connections and holding a communication license.

Everyone assumed that the blind man's actions had worked, sending away all the ghosts in front of them.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Blind man, we are so grateful to you tonight, otherwise we would have really wronged the general's wife."

"Yes, it's good that you're capable. We can trust you with the blessing ceremonies in our ancestral hall."

No one paid any attention to Qingbao, who had just been questioning the ghost.

Many people even thought that Qingbao was just being bold, asking questions on behalf of the blind man, and trying to get justice for her mother.

Qingbao didn't want to explain anything, so she put away her judge's pen and disappeared into her palm.

The blind man, still trembling, felt awkward seeing them all fawning over him and had no choice but to accept their compliments.

The clan chief said, "Now that the truth has come to light, everyone except Madam Su will come with me to the ancestral hall tonight to worship our ancestors!"

These words were spoken.

Madam Su was so angry that she fainted.

"Qingbao, you and your mother must go too, kowtow to the ancestors and admit your mistakes. You must not be so bold and reckless in the future." The clan chief had just admired Qingbao's boldness.

If she hadn't kept asking, the truth would never have come to light.

Qingbao put her thumb in her mouth, thought for a moment, then raised her little face and asked the clan leader:

"Can I not worship?"

She did nothing wrong, so why should she admit it?

Moreover, the Su family's ancestor probably couldn't bear her kneeling.
