Farmer's wife: My husband came back and the house was in chaos

Chapter 200: Name? My name is White Bone Spirit

"What nonsense are you talking about! Where did this bitch come from!" The woman looked at the woman who suddenly appeared, and became angry and embarrassed.

"She must be in cahoots with this man. Let's go and get them." After saying that, several men blocked the people's view and were about to attack the two.

Lu Huaijin stood in front of Yao Qingnian, and before the man could get close to him, he was kicked over into the crowd, causing chaos.

Someone in the crowd shouted, "The police are coming! The police are coming!"

Before the people could react, the woman immediately got up from the ground and ran faster than a rabbit. Yao Qingnian picked up a stone and hit her on the knee, and the woman collapsed to the ground instantly.

Several men were also knocked down by Lu Huaijin. The officer came over, took out the wanted order in his hand, compared the men, and bowed to Lu Huaijin and the others, saying, "Thank you, young master and young lady, for your help. These people are swindlers who have sneaked into the city recently and have swindled people's money many times. The government has issued a wanted order. Just now someone came to the prefectural government to report that they saw them. We dared to come out immediately. Thanks to you for your help, otherwise they would have gotten away again."

After the officer expressed his gratitude, he took his men away. The people then realized that the group of people were liars and had wrongly accused Lu Huaijin. They all apologized and dispersed.

"Thank you, young lady!" Lu Huaijin also thanked Yao Qingnian.

"You also saved me last time, so we are even now." Yao Qingnian waved his hand.

"May I know your name, young lady, and where you live?" When Lu Huaijin blurted out this question, he was stunned. Why would he ask such a question?

Yao Qingnian thought to herself, "Could it be that this man has developed a crush on me and wants to propose marriage? No, no, even though he's not bad looking, this body of mine is married. If he's not married, that would be fine. It would just satisfy her desire to be single in her previous life. Who made this man so good-looking? But the reality is here, so I'd better not have such thoughts."

So she smiled and said, "My name is Bai Gu Jing. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first!"

"White Bone Demon?" Before Lu Huaijin could say anything, Yao Qingnian had already left.

Looking at her back, Lu Huaijin smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Even his own wife admitted her mistake. If this were told to others, people would laugh their heads off.

But fortunately, the woman today was not his wife, otherwise, he would have to face such a woman for the rest of his life, and he really didn’t know if he could survive.

After this experience of looking for someone, he no longer acted rashly. He would wait until the Treasure Festival was over. If he still couldn't find her, he would go back. Maybe she had already returned home.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the Jubao Festival. The ghost market was only open at night, giving people a mysterious feeling. During the day, Yao Qingnian stayed in the house to recuperate.

The ghost market was opened in a remote corner outside the city. When night fell, Tang Huiyun and Yao Qingnian disguised themselves and went to the ghost market. When they entered the ghost market, Yao Qingnian found that the atmosphere here was completely different from that of ordinary markets.

The dim lights swayed in the night wind, making everything around appear hazy.

The stalls were filled with all kinds of strange and eccentric items, including ancient bronze mirrors that emitted a mysterious glow, yellowed books that seemed to carry thousands of years of secrets, and even worn-out armor that seemed to tell of past wars.

In the ghost market, sellers and buyers maintained a tacit silence. They communicated with their eyes and gestured to indicate the price.

There are many mysterious legends circulating in the ghost market. Some people say that you can buy a secret recipe for immortality here, and some people say that someone has bought a magic tool that can summon gods in the ghost market. However, it is difficult to tell whether these legends are true or false, but they add more mystery to the ghost market.

"Anian, there are a lot of people here, you better follow me closely!" Yao Qingnian and Tang Huiyun traveled lightly and dressed low-key, with only their personal maid Cui Yan by their side.

After walking around, Yao Qingnian didn't see anything valuable, and then he heard someone shout, "The auction has begun."

Tang Huiyun pulled Yao Qingnian over there.

At the end of the ghost market, the auction was quietly kicking off, with the lights dim and flickering.

There was an open space at the end, with a shabby but solemn wooden table in the middle. This was where the auction would take place tonight.

The crowds around were surging in the darkness, their faces obscured by shadows, revealing only pairs of eyes flashing with expectation and greed. The auctioneer was a hunched old man in a black robe, with a hoarse and low voice, as if calling from the underworld.

"Ladies and gentlemen, tonight's auction will present you with rare treasures in the world." Just as the old man finished speaking, a servant presented the first item - a jade pendant emitting a faint blue light.

"This jade pendant is called 'Xianbo' and is said to be the relic of an immortal. The wearer will be immune to all diseases and live longer." The old man's introduction caused exclamations and whispers in the crowd.

Yao Qingnian thought it was just a valuable jade pendant and couldn't see anything special about it. If it really had such good effects, then what was the point of having a doctor?

The auction began and the bids came one after another, which seemed particularly strange in the silent night.

Some people lowered their voices and shouted out high prices, while others used gestures to indicate a higher price.

In the end, the jade pendant was sold for 20,000 taels.

"Hey, sister, you are here too!" Tang Huiyao recognized Tang Huiyun, who was followed by a man. The two of them walked over slowly.

"Huiyun, long time no see." The man next to him spoke softly.

Tang Huiyun ignored him and stood aside.

This man was Tang Huiyun's previously chosen fiancé. He was one of the best in terms of family background and appearance. They were childhood sweethearts. Later, she became ill and disfigured, and the Liu family wanted to cancel the engagement, thinking that such an ugly woman was not worthy of Liu Mo.

In the end, her father was forced to replace the person with Tang Huiyao. Liu Mo did not object, which made Tang Huiyun completely give up and agree to marry Qian Yuanwai. She felt that it would be the same to marry anyone else if it wasn't him.

After hearing what he just said, Tang Huiyun felt that it was a good thing that she didn't marry him?

"Sister, you are here for the Lingxuehu, right? I heard that it can cure all kinds of poisons! But sorry, we are here too. Brother Liu's grandmother is sick and urgently needs this medicinal ingredient. Please give it to us, sister. After all, compared with Brother Liu's grandmother, you can still tell the difference in appearance, right, Brother Liu?" Tang Huiyao said pretentiously.

"Huiyun, I'm sorry, my grandmother is very ill. I will find other medicinal herbs for you." Tang Huiyao was very unhappy when she heard Liu Mo call her Huiyun.

This Liu Mo looks good, but what he says is very unpleasant.

"Mr. Liu, call me Miss Tang. You are so affectionate. What if others misunderstand you? And you are so confident before the auction even starts? The rule of this ghost market is that whoever wins the bid gets it. Why are you telling me this? I'm sorry, I won't accompany you..."
