Chapter 474: House Fight Turns into Thriller 13

Liu Hui was furious when she heard this. She shouted, "You shameless people, are you qualified to negotiate with me? Today, I am here, and you can't even touch her!"

As she spoke, she drew the long sword from her waist, ready to fight. The female ghost was also ready to go, with a fierce murderous intent in her eyes, as if she wanted to kill all of them with her sword.

Seeing this, the men in black showed their weapons one after another. A thrilling battle was about to take place in front of Liu's house.

However, at this moment, a melodious piano sound suddenly rang out. This piano sound was like the sound of nature, instantly suppressing the noise and killing on the battlefield. The men in black stopped what they were doing, with expressions of confusion and fear on their faces.

Liu Hui and the female ghost were also attracted by the sound of the zither. They looked up and saw a woman in white sitting on the roof not far away, playing the zither leisurely.

"Who are you? Why are you stopping us?" the leader of the men in black shouted angrily.

The woman in white smiled slightly and said, "I am a friend of the Liu Mansion, so I cannot just watch you do evil here."

The leader of the men in black could not help but get angry when he heard this. He shouted loudly and rushed towards the woman in white with his men. However, the sound of the piano played by the woman in white was like an invisible barrier, which neutralized their attacks one by one.

Liu Hui and the female ghost watched this scene and could not help but secretly marvel in their hearts. They knew that this woman in white was no ordinary person, and her strength was probably even greater than theirs.

Sure enough, with the help of the woman in white, the men in black were quickly defeated. They fled in panic and never dared to show off in front of Liu's house again.

After the battle, the woman in white floated down from the roof and came to Liu Hui and the female ghost. She looked at them with a smile and said, "My name is Yun Shang, and I am a friend of Lord Liu. I have heard about what happened today. You have done a good job and did not bring shame to the Liu Mansion."

Upon hearing this, Liu Hui and the female ghost expressed their gratitude to Yun Shang. They knew that if Yun Shang had not appeared in time today, they would have found it difficult to resist the attack of the man in black.

Yun Chang waved her hand and said, "You're welcome. Since I promised Lord Liu that I would protect the safety of the Liu Mansion, I can't break my promise. In the future, if you need any help, just come to me."

Yunchang's words were warm and firm, like the warm sunshine in spring, which made Liu Hui and the ghost girl feel warm. However, they also knew that today's peace was only temporary. Although those men in black were repelled, they would not give up easily since they had already stepped into the gate of Liu Mansion.

As expected, after just a few days, rumors about the haunted Liu Mansion began to spread in the city. Although the men in black were defeated, they did not give up, and instead exaggerated the strangeness in the Liu Mansion. For a time, the Liu Mansion became a topic of conversation after dinner, and all kinds of speculations and rumors were flying around.

"Have you heard? There is a female ghost in the Liu Mansion, with a green face and fangs, who comes out to scare people at night."

"That's right. I also heard that the female ghost specializes in sucking people's yang energy. Several servants in the Liu Mansion have fallen ill for unknown reasons."

"Oh, what should we do? Lord Liu has a great reputation, how could he be involved in something like this?"

These rumors were like sharp blades, cutting into Liu Hui's heart. She looked at the horrified faces of the servants in the mansion, and her heart was filled with anger and helplessness. She knew that these rumors were deliberately spread by the men in black to take revenge on the Liu Mansion, but she was powerless to refute them.

"Hui'er, don't worry too much." Yun Shang looked at Liu Hui's frowning brows and comforted her softly, "These rumors are only temporary. As long as we can find the true identity of the female ghost, everything will come to light."

"But we don't even know the true identity of the female ghost, so where do we start looking?" Liu Hui said worriedly.

Yun Shang smiled slightly, with a mysterious light flashing in her eyes: "Don't worry, I already have a clue. However, before that, we need to do one more thing."

"What's the matter?" Liu Hui asked curiously.

"We need to let everyone know that the Liu Mansion is not a place where they can spread rumors at will." Yun Chang's words carried a hint of unquestionable firmness.

So, in the next few days, Yun Shang began to secretly investigate the identities and origins of those men in black. With her extraordinary wisdom and courage, she quickly found out the details of those people. It turned out that they were a group of villains in the rivers and lakes. Because they were jealous of Lord Liu's power and wealth, they had evil thoughts and wanted to destroy the reputation of the Liu Mansion by spreading rumors.

After finding out the truth, Yunshang decided to teach those men in black a lesson. She used her connections to bring those villains to justice one by one and publicly tried them. During the trial, Yunshang not only exposed their crimes, but also showed everyone the innocence of the Liu family.

This move was undoubtedly a powerful response to those rumors. For a time, those who had pointed fingers at the Liu Mansion shut up and began to re-examine this ancient family.

However, just when Yun Chang thought that everything had been settled, a new challenge quietly arrived.

That day, a servant from the Liu Mansion came running to report: "Miss, it's bad! Someone outside is saying that we are looking for monks and Taoist priests to exorcise the evil spirits because the mansion is really haunted!"

This news was like a bomb that exploded in the hearts of Liu Hui and Yun Shang. They knew that once this news spread, it would cause a greater blow to the reputation of the Liu Mansion.

"These people are really going too far!" Liu Hui slammed the table in anger, "We clearly didn't look for monks or Taoist priests, why are they saying this?"

Yun Chang's brows were furrowed. "It seems that these people came prepared. They must want to use this method to force the Liu Mansion to admit the so-called 'haunted' incident, so as to achieve their goal."

"Then what should we do?" Liu Hui asked anxiously.

Yun Shang pondered for a moment, then said, "We must find the source of this rumor and solve the problem fundamentally. At the same time, we also need to prove to everyone that the Liu Mansion did not ask monks or Taoist priests to exorcise the evil spirits."

So Yunchang started her investigation again. She ran around, collected clues, and finally found the person who spread the rumor in a remote alley. It turned out that he was a servant who had been dismissed by the Liu Mansion. Because he held a grudge, he made up this rumor to take revenge on the Liu Mansion.
