Sang Qingxiao spoke up, "Madam, actually, one of the candidates we considered for verification is Qi Xiaopeng. He has a grudge against Qi Xiaomian, and the suspicion from Qi Hao's side is relatively low. However, Qi Xiaomian mentioned that Qi Xiaopeng tends to wear his emotions on his face, making it likely he could be seen through."
"That's why I came to you for a suggestion; after all, you know Qi Hao and the Qi Family best."
"Am I not suitable?" Zhang Jingxue asked.
"Since Qi Xiaomian returned this time, your attitude towards him has been quite warm in front of everyone. Moreover, you have a grudge against Qi Hao. Even if he thinks he can control you, he will still be wary of you inside. Therefore, you're not a good choice."
Zhang Jingxue glanced at Qi Xiaopeng but remained silent.
Qi Xiaopeng looked confused. "What are you all talking about? Mother, how could you have a grudge against Father? Although he can be domineering, being domineering doesn't mean controlling. You've helped him with many matters over the years; you should be quite important to him. How could he possibly be wary of you?"
"Father is quite emotional but respects you. Didn't you used to not care about these things? To outsiders, your relationship seemed harmonious. In my and Second Brother's eyes, it appeared respectful and polite. How could there be any grudges?"
Sang Qingxiao looked at Zhang Jingxue with confusion in her eyes, silently asking if her second son truly didn't know about the grievances between the Zhang Family and Qi Xiaomian, which were not exactly kept under wraps.
Zhang Jingxue replied, "His brother knows and once asked me about it. I didn't answer and don't know if he sought the truth later. He has always been careless; as the elder brother, Second Brother tends to protect him from such matters, so it's normal for him not to know."
Impatient for an answer, Zhang Jingxue ignored her son's confusion and pushed the spirit tablets toward Sang Qingxiao. "Miss Sang, could you please take a look for me?"
Sang Qingxiao quickly noticed that there were several little ghosts present. "But little ghosts? Can you see what they look like?"
They appeared ordinary and timid; they shouldn't belong to the Zhang Family from back then.
"Miss, I still want to see them with my own eyes," she insisted.
After inscribing a few simple runes, Sang Qingxiao pulled out a little ghost from each spirit tablet. Observing Zhang Jingxue's expression revealed that her hopes had been dashed.
Sang Qingxiao inquired, "What kind of people were you in your previous lives?"
The little ghosts trembled slightly; they had no notable titles—just ordinary folk.
"Why are you hiding in these spirit tablets?"
"We're wild ghosts with nowhere to stay, drifting around aimlessly. When we floated near this residence, we were suddenly sucked in by a force we couldn't resist; our heads felt dizzy until we heard someone warning us."
They said, let us respond to the words of the Supplicant, and also stipulated that we should not write too much or reply too frequently, just a few times would suffice. As long as we do this well, naturally there will be offerings of incense and candles, wishing for us to find the Underworld Gate soon.
When we first heard this, everyone was ecstatic; how could such good fortune fall upon us? What reason did we have to refuse? Over the years, we had worked diligently and never harmed anyone.
We really only replied with a few words: Master, please show mercy and spare us a little.
Sang Qingxiao turned to Zhang Jingxue and asked, "Madam, do you have any more questions?"
Zhang Jingxue shook her head in a daze.
