Severing ties with family to marry the young marshal, his whole family chases me to the crematorium.

Cui Jingru nodded in satisfaction, her gaze meeting Shen Yuanyuan's. A calculating glint flashed in both mother and daughter's eyes.

“Master, we can’t just ignore this house being haunted, can we? Look at me and Yuanyuan, we’ve been tortured like this.”

"If this continues, I'll be dead soon. How am I supposed to serve you then? You'll have to go to the First Madam's room and let her serve you."

Cui Jingru pouted slightly, and Shen Wenzhong couldn't resist pinching her cheek.

"Then what do you want?"

“Master, you don’t want to be tortured like this anymore, do you? Of course we need to find someone to catch the ghost, but apart from Miss Qingyao, none of the people we know know how to catch ghosts.”

After Cui Jingru finished speaking, she subtly gave Shen Yuanyuan a look, which the latter immediately understood.

"Dad, why don't we go to the Marshal's Mansion and invite Qingyao back for a visit? After all, you are Qingyao's biological father, and the Shen family is her maternal family. She should do her part to help."

"If it were me, no matter how Dad treats me, you will always be my dad in my heart. I would never stand by and watch Dad in trouble without helping him."

Shen Yuanyuan's words struck a chord with Shen Wenzhong. No matter how little he cared about his daughter Shen Qingyao, since Shen Qingyao was a daughter of the Shen family, she should have come back to help when the Shen family was in trouble.

Previously, he had been hindered by Si Jingnian's status and had tried several times to build a relationship with Shen Qingyao, but all his attempts had failed.

But now that the Shen family is in trouble, Shen Qingyao should help out, otherwise she will surely be nailed to the nail of shame for being unfilial.

"Alright! Let's go find her now. We have to make her come back and catch this evil spirit."

Cui Jingru and Shen Yuanyuan exchanged a glance, seeing the successful scheme in each other's eyes.

A sinister killing intent flashed in Shen Yuanyuan's eyes, but she concealed it very well.

Shen Wenzhong, accompanied by Shen Yuanyuan and Cui Jingru, arrived at the young marshal's mansion in a menacing manner, but they were stopped outside before they even entered.

"Are you all blind? This is the father of your young marshal's wife, Shen Qingyao! How dare you stop him?"

Cui Jingru yelled at the gatekeeper in dissatisfaction, and Shen Wenzhong was also full of anger, feeling even more displeased with Shen Qingyao.

"No matter who you are, if you want to enter the Young Marshal's Mansion, just wait for me to inform the master of the house."

The servant didn't buy it at all. He had seen clearly how the young marshal's wife treated the Shen family. Now she really thought she was the master.

"Then go quickly!"

Cui Jingru was furious that the servant was so stubborn, but she couldn't just barge in. She could only suppress her anger and urge the servant to go and inform the servant.

Soon, the servant returned, still looking at them with disdain and contempt.

When Shen Wenzhong and his companions saw the servant come out, they instinctively tried to go inside, but were stopped by the servant once again.

"Our owner said they wouldn't see him."

"what?"

The faces of the group turned ugly, and Cui Jingru couldn't help but shout out in a sharp voice, her tone revealing her meanness.

“Our master is Shen Qingyao’s biological father and your young marshal’s father-in-law. How could they possibly refuse to see us? Does Shen Qingyao even know that we’re getting old?”

Shen Wenzhong had a dark and gloomy face from beginning to end, and Cui Jingru was the one who spoke up in order to please him.

"It's the young marshal's wife's idea. She said that she has long since severed ties with the Shen family and there is no need for them to meet."

The servant raised his chin high and looked at the three members of the Shen family with disdain.

I had long heard that the Shen family treated my young marshal's wife badly, and now seeing their true colors, I know they are no good people after all.

"What? Shen Qingyao says she won't see him? This is her own father! She just says she won't see him? Isn't she afraid people will say she's unfilial?"

"Where is Si Jingnian? And where is Shen Qingyao's mother-in-law? Are they just going to let her treat the Si family's in-laws like this?"

Cui Jingru was so angry that her face was contorted, and she couldn't help but put her hands on her hips, ready to start cursing.

People passing by stopped in their tracks, watching the spectacle with gossipy eyes.

Seeing this, the servant's face also turned cold, and his tone became even more impolite.

“Our wife told the young marshal that once the young marshal’s wife marries into the young marshal’s mansion, she will be the mistress of the young marshal’s mansion. Her meaning is the young marshal’s meaning, and also the wife’s meaning.”

"The young marshal said that if you are not satisfied, then keep it to yourself! If you really can't hold it in, the young marshal said he would not mind taking people to the Shen family."

The servant's words caused Shen Wenzhong's expression to change again, and he no longer had the arrogant demeanor he had just displayed.

Cui Jingru, standing to the side, also gave in, worried that if she really angered Si Jingnian, he would take action against the Shen family.

Shen Yuanyuan, who hadn't spoken a word the whole time, flashed a look of jealousy and hatred in her eyes.

From an angle where no one could see, Shen Yuanyuan pinched her thigh, her eyes instantly reddening and gradually filling with tears.

"Does Qingyao really not want to see us? But... but we have something very important to discuss with her."

"Our...our Shen family home is haunted. Isn't Qingyao a Taoist priest? We've come to ask her to come to the Shen family to help exorcise the ghost. Could you please pass this message on to Qingyao?"

"Isn't it said that subduing demons and monsters is the duty of cultivators? Qingyao is a cultivator, she certainly wouldn't stand by and watch someone die. Besides, the Shen family is her maternal family, with her biological parents and brother, she would be even less likely to stand by and watch someone die."

“I know that Qingyao is deliberately acting out of spite because of me. If she is willing to help the Shen family, I... I am willing to leave the Shen family and never come back.”

Shen Yuanyuan wiped away her tears, looking incredibly pitiful. Her tearful appearance made it seem as if she had been bullied and mistreated.

The onlookers were all indignant and discussed the matter, their words revealing their sympathy and pity for Shen Yuanyuan.

"How could the young marshal's wife treat her own family like this?"

"That's it!"

"How could the young marshal marry a woman like that?"

"Who knows? Maybe that woman used some tricks."

"I heard that the young marshal married her to bring good luck."

"..."

The servants of the young marshal's mansion had already heard about Shen Yuanyuan's tricks, so they naturally wouldn't be fooled by her.

Remembering Shen Qingyao's instructions, the servant suppressed his disdainful expression and said in a less-than-friendly tone:

"Wait!"

Shen Wenzhong and Cui Jingru's expressions softened somewhat, but Shen Yuanyuan secretly harbored resentment as she watched the servant's retreating figure.

One day, she will become the mistress of this young marshal's mansion, and then she will definitely teach this servant a lesson.

On the other side, upon hearing the servant's reply, Shen Qingyao's lips curled into a wicked smile, her eyes gleaming with calculation.
