Redeeming Sister Hongxiu's Freedom

Besides the deathly aura, there was also a small portion of sinking qi!

This showed that Madam Jin had not only died, but had also been possessed by evil qi.

No wonder Madam Jin knew Su Hongxiu had gone out to buy wine. The evil qi clinging to her body came from Su Hongxiu, and she was likely serving as Su Hongxiu's enforcer here.

When they had gone to Li Family Village before, that Grain-Collecting Ghost had no enforcers.

This showed that Su Hongxiu was even more terrifying than the Grain-Collecting Ghost had been.

Though the pressure on Xie An was immense, he understood that he had to leave before Su Hongxiu returned.

He did not deliberately provoke Madam Jin, lest he disrupt the balance of this ghostly domain.

"There's an urgent matter at home. I need to hurry back." With that, Xie An stepped forward to take the door bar.

Crack.

Madam Jin unexpectedly grabbed Xie An's hand of her own accord. Her expression was no longer as warm as before, carrying instead a hint of barely restrained fury. "That won't do, Young Master Mingxi. For the past month, Miss Hongxiu has been looking forward to you redeeming her freedom. Now that you have finally come, if you leave without saying goodbye, Miss Hongxiu will be heartbroken."

Xie An keenly caught two words: redeeming her freedom.

When Xu Wenjie had invited him to the poetry gathering over a month ago, he had never mentioned anything about redeeming her freedom. Yet when he had first entered Red Sleeve House today, Madam Jin had said that Hongxiu was waiting for him to redeem her freedom. Later, Hongxiu herself had said it aloud, and now Madam Jin was saying it again...

Could Su Hongxiu becoming an evil entity... have something to do
