The Eldest Daughter of a Rural Family-Chapter 58 - The Fame of Running into Evil (1)_1

When the accusation of being possessed was firmly placed upon her, it meant her daughter’s life would be ruined, and she immediately tensed up, warily staring at Lady Zhu and Lady Chen.

Pei Qin glanced at Lady Fang and continued mocking, “Without receiving five taels of silver as a bride price, or acquiring two acres of land, you wish to destroy me?

With such a malicious intention, I think the Sorceress should perform a ritual on you instead, to make you wake up!

For in the end, good and evil will all have their retribution!

And those who abet tyranny will not meet a good end either!”

Lady Chen’s face turned livid with rage as she pointed at Pei Qin, “Stop your mad raving and causing trouble, you are indeed possessed!

We kindly invited the Sorceress here to save you, to cleanse your body of the malevolent spirits!”

“So caring as to sell me!?” Pei Qin scoffed coldly, hooked a stool with her foot, seated herself grandly, and called the Sorceress, “Come and see for yourself if this lady is possessed!” Not all fortune-tellers could discern the matter of Borrowing the Dead to Resurrect the Soul.

As for swindlers, after a beating from her, they wouldn’t dare come back!

Seeing her formidable demeanor, the Sorceress glanced over at Lady Chen and Lady Zhu, furrowed her brows, and began circling around Pei Qin.

An idea suddenly flashed through Lady Fang’s mind, about swindlers masquerading as Taoists who would use the pretext of exorcism to summon away the spirits of young children.

Tension seized her heart; she rushed over and pushed the Sorceress away fiercely, from her crying out in anguish and rage, “Get away from us!

All you’re after is the money from the bride price you didn’t get, your hearts filled with resentment and anger, and now you even want to ruin my Qinqin!”

Unprepared for the shove, the Sorceress staggered backward and fell to the ground.

Lady Zhu pointed angrily and scolded, “Lady Fang, have you lost your mind!”

“Yes!

I have gone mad!

Both mother and daughter have been driven mad by you all!” Lady Fang watched her eldest daughter stand alone in resistance.

Being overpowered and suppressed by her own family, starving, and being treated as a slave, she could endure it all, but she could not bear to see her Qinqin harmed!

“You… you…” Lady Zhu’s face turned blue with furious hatred.

Lady Chen hurriedly helped the Sorceress up, apologizing to her.

Pei Qin stepped forward, pushed her away, and grabbed the Sorceress by the lapel of her robe, “I do not care if you are a swindler or if you actually possess some abilities, but if you dare to harm the innocent and commit evil deeds, if the heavens won’t punish you, I shall!”

“Young lady, I haven’t said a word,” the Sorceress’s voice was hoarse like her throat had been slashed, “I was called here to dispel evil, and if there is no malevolent spirit, naturally, I would leave.”

Pei Qin let go of her.

“Sorceress!?” Lady Chen saw the implication that she was leaving, and came up to hold her back.

Pei Qin watched mockingly with cold eyes.

The Sorceress glanced at Lady Chen, “Old Pei’s House is not afflicted by evil spirits, my presence is not needed here!”

“Hey!

Hey!

Sorceress!” Lady Chen held on, not letting her leave, wanting to offer her more money, but in front of everyone, she couldn’t be too explicit, so she tried to signal with her eyes.

The Sorceress pretended not to understand, removed Lady Chen’s grasping hand, gathered her belongings, and left.
