Metaphysical Talisman Wife Fortune-telling Spirit: Orion eats chaff and I eat meat

Chapter 466: I pledge my life to save my life

"Zhifu Xiao?!" Chen Huaijin shouted suspiciously. Zhifu Xiao shivered in fright, and then his eyes turned to see Chen Huaijin.

Then Magistrate Xiao was so frightened that he hurriedly saluted: "I've seen Prince Zhong! I'm so rude..."

Chen Huaijin had seen many times being frightened by his wife's abilities, so she didn't care and turned to look at Xiao Luoyi.

Xiao Luoyi smiled: "Are you coming with me?"

Chen Huaijin nodded matter-of-factly and tried to pull Xiao Luoyi's little hand in front of everyone.

Xiao Luoyi slapped his hand away and warned in a low voice: "Don't be naughty."

Chen Huaijin: "..."

When did you become so shy? !
Xiao Luoyi: Magistrate Xiao is pitiful enough, don’t let him eat dog food at this time.

With a face uglier than crying, Magistrate Xiao led everyone to the back house of the Magistrate's Yamen.

Along the way, the steward next to the prefect explained the situation of the prefect's wife, Fang Dujuan.

Fang Dujuan and the magistrate were engaged and married when they were teenagers. Over the years, the couple has been harmonious. Except for the fact that they have no children, everything else is going well.

If the magistrate's wife is different from others, it is that, as the magistrate said, she doesn't like to go out to meet people, but she is also very refined and loves beauty.

The steward couldn't figure it out: "Madam has a gentle and gentle temperament, and is also very considerate to her servants. How could she be..." Where is the ghost?

Xiao Luoyi didn't answer and just followed the magistrate straight to the back house.

In the back house, the steward's mother was also surprised when she saw the prefect leading a pair of handsome men and women in.

The prefect never brings outsiders to the back house. The lady also has almost no social interaction.

But Magistrate Xiao ordered: "Go and ask Madam to come over, and everyone else will stay away."

"Yes." The mother-in-law agreed, and not long after, a woman with delicate appearance and slim figure walked in.

Just her lowered eyebrows and slightly frightened eyes told everyone: she was a little scared.

Seeing her look like that, Magistrate Xiao was also in a trance: Madam is so scared, could he have made a mistake? !
Xiao Luoyi first asked the servants and ladies to step back, and then looked at Fang Dujuan, the wife of Magistrate Xiao, and slowly took out a talisman in his hand and shook it.

"I am the sect leader of the Xuantian Clan, and I can only take you down with a single talisman... But I think you have not harmed anyone in these years, so I will give you one last chance."

"Are you willing to tell the truth?"

Fang Dujuan glanced at the talisman in Xiao Luoyi's hand in panic.

The aura contained in the talisman frightened her. She clearly felt that once the talisman was applied to her body, she was afraid that her whole body would immediately fester and her original shape would appear.

While making her final struggle, she looked at Magistrate Xiao pleadingly: "Who are you? Why are you trying to get in trouble with me... Master, please save me, they are trying to harm me..."

Magistrate Xiao looked at Xiao Luoyi, then at his wife, thinking of her appearance that night during the thunderstorm, Xiao Luoyi's reputation, and Prince Zhong's ability.

They have a high position and there is no need to deceive a small prefect like themselves.

So Magistrate Xiao harshly advised: "You'd better tell the whole story clearly, so that the princess can know what to do!"

Only then did Fang Dujuan know: It turned out that the master from home finally saw the clues and became suspicious, so he asked someone to collect his...

Fang Dujuan fell to the ground with tears in her eyes: "Master, don't you remember me? Fifteen years ago, you saved me..."

Magistrate Xiao looked confused: Fifteen years ago? I don’t remember that I saved a little girl!
Fang Dujuan reminded: "At the foot of the southern mountain, fifteen years ago..." Magistrate Xiao murmured: "Fifteen years ago...at the foot of the southern mountain..."

The memory came back, and Magistrate Xiao was shocked. He looked at Fang Dujuan in disbelief: "Fifteen years ago, at the foot of the southern mountain, what I rescued was obviously a young tiger!"

Fang Dujuan nodded with tears in his eyes: "Yes, I am that young tiger."

Now that things have begun, Fang Dujuan doesn't hide anything anymore.

At that time, Magistrate Xiao was still young. The ten-year-old boy went to the mountain to chop firewood, but he unexpectedly found an injured tiger cub.

The tiger cub was injured by an unknown beast. The skin on its ankles was torn, and it was howling and unable to walk.

The little boy felt compassion for it, gave it some herbs and mashed them, tore off his clothes and wrapped it up, and raised it for about ten days.

After waiting for it to go away, I heard a tiger roaring in the forest all night long. I guessed that the mother of the cub was looking for it, so I released the cub back into the forest...

Magistrate Xiao couldn't believe it: "Are you the tiger cub? Are you a spirit?! But I am clearly marrying the legitimate daughter of the Fang family!"

Fang Dujuan shook his head: "I didn't become a spirit. I... I ate the Fang family's legitimate daughter, and I became like her and married you..."

Magistrate Xiao was so frightened that he staggered back and fell into the chair, his lips trembling: "You...you ate the Fang family's legitimate daughter?!"

Fang Dujuan looked aggrieved, tears fell, and the makeup on her face was washed away, revealing the pale skin underneath.

She didn't know whether it was because she remembered the past or because Magistrate Xiao was afraid of her, but she looked very sad.

"The eldest daughter of the Fang family looks down on you. When she invited you to Nanbian Mountain for an outing, before you arrived, she privately told the maid that your family was poor and you had a widowed mother. She looked down on you..."

"She also said that when she gets married to you, she will kill your widowed mother so that she can live a happy life."

"My heart is not worth it for you, so I ate her when she asked the maid to go to the carriage to get her water, turned into her appearance, and married you..."

Ghost Demon: After being eaten by a tiger, the tiger wears human skin and wanders around the crowd, choosing and devouring people.

What happened next is not surprising: because there was a tiger inside, Fang Dujuan took good care of the human skin, fearing that the human skin would break and she would leave.

But after all, after years of use, even with careful care, the human skin on her face still drooped down after she fell asleep, and this was how she frightened Magistrate Xiao who had woken up from midnight on the lightning night...

Magistrate Xiao became suspicious, so he asked Xiao Luoyi for help.

After the matter became clear, both Magistrate Xiao and Yi Gui fell into silence, but their thoughts were tumbling in their hearts.

Xiao Luoyi coughed: "Have you ever eaten anyone in these years?"

The ghost quickly shook his head: "No! Except for Fang Dujuan, I have never eaten anyone else."

"But the demon must choose people to eat on a regular basis. If you don't eat people, how do you persist until now?"

The ghost pursed his lips: "I... I do good deeds and accumulate merit. It seems that the human skin can be maintained better."

Magistrate Xiao also recalled the past: "Fang... ever since she married me, she has been giving porridge outside the city every year during the lean years."

"If there is an epidemic, she will also ask people to distribute some herbs to prevent and treat the epidemic..."

After thinking about it, Magistrate Xiao added: "Since we got married, Mrs. Fang has cared deeply about my widowed mother. Her widowed mother has been bedridden for a year, and Mrs. Fang has always served her with decoctions and taken every possible care..."

I once thought that I was deeply in love with Fang Dujuan and his wife, but after a long time of trouble, from the beginning, I was really in love with a tigress.

Magistrate Xiao was so confused that he didn't know whether he should be angry for a moment? anger? disappointment? Still touched...
