Oh no! Seven kids at the start, all yellow and skinny.

Chapter 406 My name is Yang Chunni

Not wanting to cause panic, Hua Niang gave Granny Gu a wink: "Go ahead and get busy."

Although the old woman was afraid, she knew the rules, so she didn't say anything and turned to go to the back.

Hua Niang glanced at Bi Tao and Xiang Rui: "Have you two decided on names yet?"

Bitao and Xiangrui exchanged a glance. Weren't they talking about scented hair oil? Why are they talking about names now?

“Mom, I was sold by my parents back then, and I didn’t have a proper name before. As for the surname, I don’t want it anymore, so Xiangrui is fine. Or, when the master comes, we can ask him to give me a name.”

"Mom, I don't even know who my parents are. You picked me up and raised me." Bitao stepped forward and took Hua Niang's arm. "How about I take your surname? My name is Hua Bitao, what do you say?"

"You little rascal." Hua Niang poked her, then glanced at Xiang Rui. "Alright, it's just some scented hair oil, right? You sisters have been together for so many years, is it really necessary to turn against each other?"

Both of them lowered their heads.

"Alright, everyone go back now." Hua Niang waved her hand. "I'm going to see my master."

Just then, the gatekeeper brought Yunyi in.

"Greetings, Master." When Hua Niang saw Yun Yi, her eyes lit up instantly, and she jogged over to greet her.

"No need." Yunyi glanced around. "It's tidied up quite well."

"I did everything according to your instructions, Master," Hua Niang said proudly.

"Let all the girls come over here, I'll check them out."

Soon, all eighteen girls arrived and lined up in the hall.

Yunyi didn't take pulses, but instead checked everyone's health by observing their qi. As she looked, her brows furrowed: "Have you encountered anything strange recently?"

These words surprised not only Hua Niang, but everyone else as well.

"Master, you noticed?" Bitao's eyes widened instantly.

"So what happened to you?"

"Most of Xiangrui's and my hair oil mysteriously disappeared," Bitao said cautiously. "Don't you think that's a strange thing?"

"Where are the others?" Yunyi didn't answer, but instead looked at the others.

Everyone shook their heads, indicating that they hadn't encountered anything strange.

"Let's go, let's go see your rooms." Yunyi glanced at Bitao and Xiangrui.

The two hurriedly took Yunyi to the backyard and went up to the second floor on the left.

The small buildings on both sides of the backyard have the same layout, and the rooms are not small. Each room is about 20 square meters. A large display shelf divides the room into an inner and outer room. The outer room is furnished with tables and chairs for entertaining guests, while the inner room contains two beds, two wardrobes, and two dressing tables.

They are all produced by Yunyi's furniture shop, featuring both ancient designs and modern functions.

These pieces of furniture are very popular with the girls.

Yunyi glanced around the room: "Come out."

"Master, who's coming out? There's something in this room..."

"ghost."

"Ah!" Bitao Xiangrui exclaimed and then hugged each other.

Hua Niang was so frightened that her face turned pale. If Sang Ye hadn't supported her from behind, she would have fallen to the ground.

The other girls who followed also looked rather unwell.

Only Pear Blossom seemed excited, her eyes shining brightly as she looked at Yunyi in the crowd, even showing a hint of eagerness.

Yun Yi curled the corners of her lips, then took out a talisman and her face darkened: "Come out."

Perhaps sensing the oppressive aura, the once warm room suddenly turned cold and even a gust of cold wind blew up.

It was already summer, and everyone was wearing very light clothes. I couldn't help but rub my arms, and for a moment I got goosebumps.

"You can actually see me." A red figure appeared in mid-air in the room.

“You can actually show yourself in broad daylight, which shows that your resentment is too strong and you are about to transform into a vengeful ghost.” Yunyi looked at the other person. “But you should know that once you become a vengeful ghost, then… you will never have the chance to be reincarnated again.”

"But I died unjustly, and I can only take revenge by becoming a vengeful ghost." As the female ghost spoke, two lines of bloody tears streamed down her face.

"How about I help you get revenge?" Yun Yi raised an eyebrow slightly. "After all, this house is mine now, and I can't move it. I also run a business. Occupying your ancestral home means I've become entangled in karma with you. When the time comes, you can be reincarnated as a human. How about that?"

"You really can help me get revenge?" The female ghost was somewhat incredulous.

"Look, I can see you, and with your current cultivation level, I could easily obliterate your soul." Yun Yi waved the talisman in her hand. "Then do you think it would be difficult for me to deal with someone?"

"But you should know that sometimes people are more terrifying than ghosts."

"It's okay, I've seen all sorts of scary people and ghosts."

"You..." The female ghost suddenly widened her eyes, "Your Highness the Princess?"

"Huh? You know me?"

"I was previously locked up in the underworld by Lord Wuchang, but I was unwilling to accept it and wanted revenge, but I couldn't get out. Then one time, when two ghosts were fighting, they broke open the gates of hell, so..."

Yunyi couldn't help but sigh. It must have been the time when King Qin Guang and King Chu Jiang fought: "Now that you're out here, you shouldn't be scaring ordinary people."

"I wasn't trying to scare anyone, I just..." the female ghost said somewhat embarrassedly, "I just found their perfume and hair oil very familiar, I used to use them too, but unfortunately now..."

"So, do you agree to let me avenge you? If you agree, then tell me who your enemy is."

The female ghost nodded: "My name is Yang Chunni. I am from Yangjia Village on the outskirts of Beijing. My family has been making tofu for generations and has a very good reputation in the surrounding area. My parents only have me as their child, so they took in an orphan as their apprentice, who was also my son-in-law. We got married three years ago. In addition to making tofu, we also made dried tofu, which many teahouses would order as a snack. That day, my husband and I delivered dried tofu here. At that time, there was a teahouse called Li's Teahouse. We met two young men. Although they were not very old, the older one started flirting with me. Fortunately, there were many people around, so nothing bad happened."

“However, my husband was afraid that I would run into that person again, so from then on, he came to deliver it by himself.”

"But that day, he didn't come back by nightfall, so I came looking for him. Someone led me into a private room; it was those two young men from that day. The older one wanted me to submit to him before I could see my husband. I didn't want to, and he forced himself on me, sob sob..."

"But what I found later was my husband's corpse. I went to the authorities to report it, but no one paid any attention to me because those two young masters were sons of a marquis. I had nowhere else to turn, so I chose to hang myself here in the middle of the night..."
