"Sure, my lord. I will arrange for someone to call my son," said Su Tai as he turned his gaze away from Liu Hui Ying. he knew that even if he wanted to force this servant into writing more talismans for him, he couldn’t do that. Liu Hui Ying was Lord Ji’s servant, and even if he wanted to take her under his wing, he naturally had to pay attention to the face of the master.

Liu Hui Ying, of course, noticed the gazes that Su Tai was passing onto her and couldn’t help but sneer. She turned her yin and yang eyes on and looked at the past deeds that Su Tai had done; the more she looked, the more her face twisted. Even though Liu Hui Ying knew all about borrowing luck, this was the first time she had seen such a thing happen. For a moment, she couldn’t even control her expression, which had turned really ugly.

Fortunately, at that very moment, Su Tai’s son walked over. He looked at Zhai Tianyu and curtsied politely, as he knew that this man was quite important for his father’s career. Zhai Tianyu could sense that there was something going on. He couldn’t see the ghosts that followed Liu Hui Ying properly, but whenever they spoke, he would hear a peculiar sound that made him realise that the three of them were speaking to Liu Hui Ying.

He took a look at the child, said a few words and then took his leave with Liu Hui Ying. Su Tai wanted to hold them back for dinner and was even thinking of a way to make this servant follow him when Zhai Tianyu refused, saying that he did not want to stay for dinner and would rather eat dinner in his own courtyard.

Zhai Tianyu had a lot of questions in his mind, but he did not ask them until they were in his courtyard. Only when he was quite sure that no one was eavesdropping did he turn to look at Liu Hui Ying and ask, "What is going on? You look like you are about to fall sick. Did something happen? Did you see something?"

Zhai Tianyu frowned when he heard Liu Hui Ying’s words. Su Tai was already the worst kind of person; there was no way he could have done something even worse than eating human flesh. Or did he? However, at the same time, it seemed like there was something much worse that was hiding behind that man’s face because there was no way Liu Hui Ying would have called him vile for no reason.

She did not say anything for a while and first quenched her thirst. Only then did she speak up, "Su Tai may look like he was only involved in some petty crimes, but it seems like we have underestimated him. He is quite a ruthless and heartless person. Not only is he vicious and heartless, but he is also petty and doesn’t have the slightest bit of kinship. He is practically a devil in human clothing."

Liu Hui Ying curled her lips. She said, "Of course there is. Look at the pallor and features of that man; he was destined to live a life of poverty in a wooden house at best. How could he afford such a comfortable life, or how could he become the magistrate? Not to mention, he was supposed to have no children at all, and yet he has countless daughters and a son. It was all because he borrowed his luck from her half-sister, causing her to die along with her daughter."

"You—you mean to say, my dear queen, that this man killed his half-sister? But why?"
