Before Zhu Da Pangzi could finish speaking, he was hit by an inkstone thrown by Lord Sikong. He cried out in pain and said, "My lord, you are preventing me from telling the truth. This is a crime!"

"Go and die!"

Lord Sikong glared at Zhu Si through gritted teeth, but when he turned to look at Xing Fuhua's slightly somber face, he immediately revealed a pure and innocent smile. "Hua'er, don't believe this fatso. When he was in Malan City, I punished him by making him raise pigs. Since then, he has held a grudge against me and slanders me to everyone he meets. You can't believe him. He has been spending too much time with some kind of animal and has forgotten how to communicate with people."

Xing Fuhua gently raised her eyebrows, raised the book in her hand, and smiled, "Is that so? Then, Lord Sikong, please explain what this book is all about. As far as I know, even in a brothel, this kind of book cannot be easily taken away."

“Your Highness, how could you doubt my character? Do you think I’m the kind of lecherous man? I’ve always been virtuous and abstinent. My character is absolutely trustworthy and worthy of many young women entrusting their lives to me.”

Sikong Jin's eyes looked innocent, but also hurt.

Xing Fuhua pursed her lips and smiled softly, "Alright, I won't make things difficult for you. I'll confiscate this book. I also need to remind you that the Emperor's birthday banquet is the day after tomorrow. You'd better come early. I've also specially prepared a dance for the Emperor. If I don't see you then, you'd better watch out."

This is a savage girlfriend!

Sikong Jin felt another throbbing pain in her head!

Nodding helplessly, Sikong Jin could only reply, "This humble official understands."

"By the way, when I was walking through the market just now, I heard something quite interesting. Would you like to hear it? It's about the Liu family, you know."

"whats the matter?"

The fat man immediately perked up. Their general's mansion and the Liu family didn't have a good relationship either, and they were secretly fighting fiercely.

Xing Fuhua glanced mysteriously at Lord Sikong, who also looked curious, then suddenly lowered her voice and said nervously, "The servants' courtyard in the Liu family is haunted! It's really haunted! I heard that someone even saw it with their own eyes—a female ghost in a red dress, sitting on the sycamore tree in that courtyard singing late at night..."

"What? Haunted?"

The fat man tensed up, his back immediately breaking out in a cold sweat, and a look of terror appeared on his fleshy face.

Xing Fuhua nodded, a hint of horror on her beautiful face. She instinctively shrank back, nervously leaning towards Sikong Jin, and continued, "Yes, I heard that the female ghost's magic was very powerful. She stayed on that paulownia tree for three days, and now that huge paulownia tree has withered and died. Moreover, when they woke up the next day, all the dozen or so servants who were resting in the room had bloodstains on their faces... It's terrifying!"

"Oh...don't say that, I'm so scared!"

Zhu Si shrank back and said in a panic.

"Someone sent people to inquire at the Liu residence. It is said that the people of the Liu residence even invited a high-ranking Taoist priest to exorcise the ghost. The mysterious high-ranking Taoist priest said that there is a vengeful ghost haunting the villa. It must be sold immediately to transfer the yin energy in order to get rid of the vengeful ghost's entanglement. In the past few days, many dead cats have been found in the Liu residence, and the horses of the Liu residence have also gone mad for no reason. It is really too terrible!"

"Is this true? Is the news confirmed? It's not just a hoax, is it?"

"Of course, the Liu family has already posted notices to sell the villa immediately, and the entire villa is only two thousand taels of silver, but no one dares to buy it. The people in the Liu family are almost frantic with worry!"

"Only a fool would buy that house; it's a haunted house!"

"That was terrifying, sir. Could you please go home earlier tonight?"

"Yes, yes, we need to go back early. The yin energy is heavy at night, and it's not safe on the road. By the way, Ninth Princess, you should go home right away before the sun sets. Hurry, it's too dangerous outside! You must have two bodyguards to protect you! Fatty, you should also go back early tonight and tell Lord Fang that this matter is too frightening!"

……

The next day, it was learned from the crowd that someone had secretly bought the haunted house for the incredibly low price of one thousand taels of silver. The Liu family even gave the buyer one hundred taels of silver as a special gift to perform a ritual to exorcise the ghost from the house.

The year the house was sold, a high-ranking Taoist priest was hired to exorcise the ghost. While the house was being demolished and razed to the ground, a skeleton was found under the dead sycamore tree. The priest said that the evil spirit had been exorcised and that no more evil spirits would haunt the house.

The Liu family, who had been on tenterhooks for several days, finally breathed a sigh of relief. They were somewhat grateful to the buyer, because if it weren't for him, strange things might still be happening. But when they woke up this morning, everything was as calm as before. Dead cats no longer suddenly appeared in various parts of the mansion, and the wildly restless horses had returned to normal.

……

On a warm afternoon, Ninth Princess Xing Fuhua suddenly decided to have Sikong Jin accompany her shopping. Accompanying her were the princess's two maids, as well as the two deputy generals Meng Benbo and Mei Ruhua. These two unlucky fellows had been serving as the master's guards ever since Berger was sent somewhere unknown.

Lord Sikong had never known how crazy girls could be when they went shopping. After sweeping across the entire Chaoyang Street, Meng Benbo and Mei Ruhua's hands were already full of things, and even Lord Sikong's hand was full. The three thousand taels of silver notes he was carrying were instantly squandered. However, Xing Fuhua was having a great time shopping.

After glancing at the two generals Meng and Mei behind him, who were covered in sweat, Lord Sikong finally couldn't help but suggest to the Ninth Princess that they go to a nearby famous building, the Imperial City's No. 1 Tea House, sit down, have some tea, feel the breeze, and catch their breath.

The Ninth Princess readily agreed.

Inside the private room of the teahouse, the Ninth Princess gazed at the pile of spoils beside her, a radiant smile blooming on her exquisite face. Looking at Sikong Jin, who was wiping away sweat, her eyes were filled with joy and tenderness.

He was so good to her. He would buy her anything she wanted without hesitation, from gold and silver bracelets to cheap trinkets from street vendors. When there were many people around, he would always lean to protect her...

If Lord Sikong knew what Xing Fuhua was thinking, she would definitely cry out that she was wronged. She was just worried about being hit by the speeding carriages and horses, so she stepped aside to let them pass. It just so happened that you were on the outside of the road and I was on the inside. That's all!

“Brother Jin, tomorrow is the Emperor’s birthday banquet. I made you a new outfit. Wear it tomorrow.”

Xing Fuhua covered her mouth as she looked at Sikong Jin, who was covered in sweat. She was about to reach out to wipe her sweat when Sikong Jin stopped her with one hand. "No need, I can do it myself... Where are your clothes?"

Fortunately, Fu Hua was very clever. If they continued to be in such close contact, it was hard to guarantee that she wouldn't be exposed.
