Translator: Guy Gone Bad

Finally, a few days after Lord Qian went to the capital to take the imperial exams, she died of overwork and illness, leaving only a poor son.

And Lord Qian did get listed and the prime minister’s daughter grew feelings for him.

For fame and fortune and his own career, Lord Qian lied saying that he was single, so, finally, he married the prime minister’s daughter and got a bright future.

After his wife died, his son grew up fed by those neighbors.

When he grew up, his dad never came back, but he heard that there was a high official in the capital sharing the same name with his father.

So he went to the capital to look for his father.

Yeah, finally he found Lord Qian, but Lord Qian wasn’t happy at all.

After all, the existence of his son would catch him in a lie.

Unwilling to give up fame and wealth, Lord Qian killed his own son.

His son who got an unjust death turned into a ferocious ghost, keeping haunting Lord Qian.

Well, Lord Qian’s present wife died a sudden death, it was his son.

Alas! But, Su Bei was confused about one thing.

Lord Qian was a liar and a cheater, he deserved to die.

But his wife was innocent who knew nothing but still got killed. Tut~

Thinking so, Su Bei had stepped into Lord Qian’s mansion, some kind of cold feeling blew in the face.

Su Bei regretted for not wearing more clothes.

Lord Qian shrank back and dare not speak, shivering.

Su Bei was not scared at first, but Lord Qian really made him panic-stricken now.

Suddenly, with a cracking sound, a branch of the old locust tree in the yard fell down, Lord Qian suddenly growled.

Su Bei’s pupils slightly contacted, those swear words were already at his mouth, he said sternly, “Lord Qian, you scared the sh*t out of me, you know?”

Lord Qian hurriedly said apologetically with a trembling tone, “Yes, yes, I am so sorry.”

Before they took another few steps, a shrill cat’s meow nearly give Lord Qian another scream.

Fortunately Su Bei’s subordinate was considerate enough, he timely covered Lord Qian’s mouth.

Su Bei continued walking in, because the coffin of Mrs. Qian was still in the mourning hall, the house was also hung with white lanterns and white cloth, making it spookier.

Su Bei thought for a while, he remembered, the original owner found the ghost in the mourning hall.

So he went in.

Lord Qian walked behind Su Bei, shaking like sifting chaff, trying to explain, “You know, I haven’t been back home for a few days, so my wife’s coffin is still in the house. I wonder if you see anything.”

Su Bei said darkly, “I saw a ghost.”

With a shake, Lord Qian said tremblingly, “Ah…Where is it?”

Su Bei cast a glance at him, “In your heart.”

Soon they came before the mourning hall, it felt like falling into an ice cave, cold into the bones.

Suddenly, the lit candles were blown out by a gust of wind, and the mourning hall fell into darkness.

Su Bei heard the sound of water falling on the ground, coming from behind.

He was also scared, totally dare not turn back at all.

Su Bei desperately kept thinking how the original owner nailed this ghost.

Some kind of runes, blah, blah.

Yes, he did bring the runes, but he couldn’t tell which is which.

Then there was the rasping sound of nails scratching a blackboard, which made your teeth ache.

Wait, there was no blackboard here, but there was only…coffin board!

Su Bei reflexively looked up at the direction of the coffin, a ghost of a green face and ferocious fangs was lying prone on coffin, hell-long nails were scratching the coffin board repeatedly.
