In the Hou mansion’s ancestral hall, the ancestors all knelt and begged the Demoness: “Please stop beating us old ghosts! Keep this up and we’ll really be obliterated!”
“It’s our fault for failing to raise our descendants properly and letting him mistreat you. We’ll go have a serious talk with him tonight.”
Marquis Zhaoping dreamed that night of his ancestors, all sporting black eyes and bruises, surrounding him and cursing him until morning.
When he woke up, Marquis Zhaoping remembered that his ancestors had spent all night cursing him, but they hadn’t said why!
He’d better find a Daoist priest and ask if someone was bullying his ancestors in the afterlife.
The ancestors: “For heaven’s sake, can you stop looking for Daoist priests? Every one you find is a fraud.”
“Your demoness of a daughter says your lousy brains are inherited from us, and she’s going to beat all the water out of our heads.”
“If you dare look for another Daoist priest, she’ll really beat the whole clan’s ancestors until we’re obliterated.”
From then on, whenever the marquis dared to make the eldest young lady angry, a whole crowd of battered ancestors was sure to show up in his dreams that night.
“Please stop defying your daughter. We really can’t take much more.”
“She says it’s the ancestors’ fault when children aren’t taught properly. She can’t beat you, her father, so she beats us instead.”
“Ancestors, please, stop defying your daughter!”
When her stepmother tried to scheme against her, she decided the stepmother’s family ancestors deserved to experience the lash of a dutiful descendant, too.
When the Hou mansion tried to switch her dowry with her stepsister’s, she had to ask those battered ancestors to go to the trouble of replacing it with a pile of boulders.
Then the Hou mansion would have to compensate her with a new dowry.
Ever since she made a name for herself in a single battle, the wild young heir of the Marquis of Zhending’s household had been eager to give it a try.
“My ancestors can take whatever you put them through. Marry me!”
Very nice, I like it very much
Give me a good review first, it should look pretty good.
It's quite exciting and feels good.
Sounds good, sounds good, sounds good, sounds good
It is more creative. Instead of using metaphysics to resolve cases and redress the grievances of wronged ghosts, ghosts are used as service tools.
