Upon seeing the young worker girl, the ghost woman immediately tattled on her to Xiao Qingya.

[Little Master, look at that... bad human.] She was quick to change the way she addressed Xiao Qingya and restrained some cursing words when she remembered the other party was still a tender little baby.

This baby who could see ghosts was her only hope!

[She and that taoist priest are in cahoots, trying to swindle people out of their money. The medicine boys were unlucky to fall for their lies.] The ghostly woman muttered.

Xiao Qingya nodded. Now, she understood why this ghostly woman tried to drive the fake taoist away by scaring him. Alas, she had no real power. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

[Is the older woman involved too?] She asked.

The ghostly woman blinked. Her face, which looked to be a woman in her early-twenties, had her brows furrowed deeply. [Little Master, I am sorry, I am not sure about that.]

She was around Xiao Jingran most of the time since she was stuck with him. By chance, she had overheard the nearby discussion between the young worker girl and the fake taoist master which had happened in the same courtyard.

The middle-aged woman working as the innkeeper put her hands on her hips, her expressions full of reproach. "Madam, I let this girl lead you to your rooms, not for you and your children to abuse as you wish!"

She pointed her finger at them tremblingly. "You even broke into another guest’s room!"

At this moment, the innkeeper was also anxious. The people who had rented the room had even paid double. Judging from the demeanor of the person who led them, he didn’t seem to be someone she could afford to offend.

Although she didn’t know why they had chosen her dilapidated inn, she still had to help them to deal with the troublemaker. Moreover, they had an unconscious patient around.

When she heard that the young worker girl had come to complain about the behavior of her latest guests, she couldn’t help but come over to check. Unexpectedly, she found them breaking into another guest’s room!

Xiao Yuxi was no longer feeling guilty toward the young worker girl ever since she heard that she was in cahoots with the fake taoist master.

Perhaps, the latter hadn’t seen the fake taoist’s state because he had passed out, hence, she dared to come.

"This is our eldest brother’s room." Xiao Yuxi pursed her lips disapprovingly.

The innkeeper was taken aback, and she subconsciously glanced at the young worker girl, her imposing demeanor lessened by a lot.

"Your brother?" She turned her attention back to Xiao Yuxi.

Xiao Yuyan pointed to the unconscious Xiao Jingran and pulled Xiao Fenghao close. "We are here to find our brother. They have similar faces, right?"

The innkeeper compared their faces and found out that her words were right. On top of that, the three medicine boys never refuted their words.

"And... about this girl, you told us we are allowed to choose any empty room, right? Then, why did she stop us from choosing the room from this courtyard?" Zhou Anran opened her mouth. "Even if you ask for additional money, we can give it to you."

"She wants to... harm Eldest Brother!" Xiao Qingya suddenly yelled, pointing at the young worker girl accusingly, trying to tell her family. It was the best chance!

With so many people going against her, and even a small baby dared to spout a baseless accusation, the young worker girl’s face went pale.

"Madam, it’s not like that. I..." She stuttered a little, and quickly came up with a reason. "The Young Sir is unconscious, so I thought it was better to have less people around him. I-I... didn’t know they are family..."

She bowed and apologized. "I am really sorry."

Shen Fei frowned deeply, and he thought of something. Xiao Qingya’s words had given him a flash of realization. He also remembered Qiao Ren’s remark. "That fake taoist master... was it you who let him in too?"

The young worker girl’s face became almost bloodless. "Young Sir, please don’t accuse this poor girl of such a thing!"

"Fake taoist master?" The innkeeper’s eyes glinted. Although she was greedy, they had determined that she wasn’t in cahoots with the fake taoist master.

"Yes, you see that thin man who had passed out outside?" Zheng Tao pointed to the open courtyard. "He wants to harm our Brother Jingran?"

The innkeeper’s expression became twisted. She already pieced what had transpired right under her nose after their few words. People wouldn’t slander anyone without a reason.

"Young sirs, do you have proof?"

The young worker girl still harbored some hope, but after she saw that the fish on the bowl died not long after the pill dissolved into the water, she collapsed on the floor.

That taoist master never told her he intended to poison people!

"Madam, I don’t know that he intended to harm the Young Sir. Please be magnanimous and forgive me!" She suddenly crawled toward the Xiao family, heading to the closest person, which was Xiao Qingya.

The little one nearly slammed into the floor with her pull. Luckily, Xiao Fenghao grabbed her away in time.

"You insidious girl, come here! You want to ruin the business, huh?!" The innkeeper was enraged. She dragged the girl away, afraid she might anger the guests further.

She was even more worried they might call the yamen. It might even drag her name to be involved in it!

Qiao Ren ran toward the door and yelled to the innkeeper. "Don’t forget to deal with the fake taoist master too!"

The innkeeper nearly stumbled on her own feet. She was a little indignant.

Nevertheless, something like this happened because she didn’t discipline the workers under her enough and gave them too much power, so she had to bear some responsibility.

After she left, she assigned some people to deal with the unconscious fake taoist and serve her guests.

Early in the morning, Physician Bai finally returned. He was bringing a young man in white robes.

"Mrs. Xiao," he greeted Zhou Anran and the rest of Xiao Jingran’s siblings.

The young man he brought suddenly approached Xiao Qingya, crouched down, and asked. "Little girl, can you see her?"

He was pointing at the ghostly woman.
