My lady, don't be angry. I'm letting you touch my big tail.

Chapter 65 Dare to bite my wife?! Hua Jiaojiao is furious.

Joey naturally acquiesced to Hua Ran's actions.

At this point, there's no need to pretend anymore.

Because she already knew that the strange phenomena in this house were twofold.

These two unusual phenomena were located too close together, just like last time, forming a large circle within a smaller one.

The large circle is likely a snake, and the small circle represents the spirits of the father and son, but the two are still connected.

Everyone in the courtyard screamed in surprise when they saw Hanazon's tail and ears peeking out.

"Fox, fox..."

"The fox has become a spirit!"

Hua Ran covered half of her face with her sleeve, and the doting and affectionate look in her eyes when she looked at Qiao Yi was gone, replaced by a sinister look.

At the same time, the wind blowing around us carried a coolness.

"I am a fox spirit, that's for sure. From the moment I came in, I never said I was human."

His tail grew bigger and longer, swaying behind him, but it was meant to tease.

Even Joey could see that Hua Ran was threatening them.

Joey said, "So you'd better tell me the truth."

Miss Su lowered her head and bit her lips until they turned white.

She asked softly, "You said I'm going to die... is there really no hope?"

“Your forehead is dark, and the dark aura has already spread downwards, staining your cheeks. Once the ashen aura reaches your chin, you will die. This kind of death is something no one else can interfere with; it is the result of your own sins.”

Ordinary people couldn't tell what was wrong with Miss Su, but Qiao Yi could tell that Miss Su had a ghostly appearance.

The delicate-looking man beside her was sobbing.

"Then, how come my wife stopped coughing up blood as soon as Master Zhao came?"

He didn't actually care whether his wife lived or died.

He just wanted to gain status in this mansion, to hold his head high, and to live a life of privilege.

If my wife dies, who will manage the household and who will run the business?

Joey could also see through the delicate man's thoughts.

He said, “Zhao Daxian’er smells of realgar all over her body, can’t you smell it? She came here today with the smell of alcohol, which shows that she loves to drink realgar wine. Snakes hate realgar, so your wife is temporarily not vomiting blood because of her.”

Zhao Daxian was extremely obsequious on the side.

He hurriedly said yes.

My favorite drink is realgar wine. I drink a small bottle every day, and I haven't stopped for ten years.

Joey looked up. "But realgar can drive away snakes, it can't save lives."

The night was past midnight.

No one in the mansion felt sleepy.

Miss Su sat in the chair.

This time, Joey took the seat of honor.

Miss Su said, "If I die... can my daughter live? My parents only have one daughter, and I only have one daughter. If she can't live either, then our Su family line will end..."

Hua Ran couldn't help but mock him.

"Returning the family line? That little girl who was left behind might not even be human. Is she still considered part of the Su family's lineage?"

Miss Su's eyes revealed her grievance.

His withered, emaciated hands clenched into fists.

She was filled with rage, but dared not direct it at Qiao Yi; instead, she turned her anger towards Zhao Daxian'er.

"What else could it be? Otherwise, what was the point of all this hardship I went through to beg for my daughter?! In the end, my mother's vast fortune and my father's large dowry were all gone, falling into other people's hands. How can I face them?"

The delicate-looking man tried to come over and say a few words of advice, but Miss Su slapped him across the face.

"Get out! It's all your fault! If you hadn't been vying for favor, if you hadn't schemed to have a daughter with me, if you hadn't harmed my husband and framed him, how could he have died!"

Hua Ran simply clicked her tongue twice.

Miss Su was anxious and angry. Her cough, which had just stopped, started violently again, and she vomited blood.

Joey said indifferently, "You won't survive. As for your daughter, I need to determine what she is before I know if she can live."

The delicate-looking man covered his face.

He looked away, as if he didn't want to talk.

Qiao Yi wasn't in a hurry, she just said, "I won't say anything. The entire Su family was wiped out. After all, even the servants are almost all dead, let alone the masters."

The delicate-looking man quickly said, "I'll talk...I'll talk!"

Miss Su has a husband and a newborn son.

He was different; his status and family background were inferior to that of the legal husband, and he and the wife had never been able to have children after he entered the household.

He was illiterate, and his wife looked down on him even more. He felt that only if he and his wife had a daughter could he survive in the mansion.

then……

“I’m not from Bianliang County, I’m from a small village. In my hometown, there’s a kind of god we call the Child-Giving Snake God. If a family has never had a child, they can go and pray to him for a child, and the following year they will have a child, and it will definitely be a girl.”

Joey frowned after hearing this.

"How exactly will you go all out?"

"To trade the livelihood of an entire family."

Upon hearing this, Miss Su grabbed her teacup and was about to throw it at him.

But the man quickly backed away.

"My lady, please listen to me! This so-called exchange of the family's life means that the children in the next ten generations of the family will not have good opportunities, and may even have no descendants for the next few decades. But this is all the man's way of exchanging his own family. I have been an orphan since I was a child, and I have no one in my family!"

Seeing that Miss Su seemed willing to listen further, he continued, "So I also prayed to the snake god for a daughter, but I have no one in my family, so I didn't know if it would work out, but... I soon had a child..."

The man took out a small wooden carving, only the size of a palm.

However, the snake eyes and snake heads on the wooden pieces are all very exquisite.

Without needing to get closer, Joey said, "This isn't a wood carving; it's a real snake corpse."

Upon hearing this, the man hurriedly dropped the "wood carving".

Joey then said, "Bring your daughter up."

The man was unwilling, but he couldn't go against others' wishes.

Soon, the little girl was brought up, tilting her head with a puzzled look on her face.

Joey went over and directly lifted the little girl's cheek.

Injecting Yang energy.

The simplest way is to receive a lot of yang energy without feeling uncomfortable; that's how a person is.

Receiving yang energy will only cause internal heat.

The fever started a few days later.
