Chapter 259: Chapter 257: Setting a Trap

Bai Xue explained her purpose and gave Liu the witch thirty dollars as a deposit, all she wanted was for her to accompany her in staging a play.

As for talk of ghosts and gods, she wasn’t completely disbelieving, but she wasn’t fully convinced either.

For money, what couldn’t Liu the witch do? Bai Xue asked her to cooperate, and she did, the specifics of when were to await Bai Xue’s notification.

When she returned to her own village, Bai Xue took a detour to the Qin family’s doorway and found a place to hide there, staying concealed for a long time.

After watching Lin Junping come out of the house, she deliberately removed her straw hat, revealing the newly grown stubble of hair as she passed by her.

Upon seeing Bai Xue’s perfectly good hair cropped so short, Li Junping found it very peculiar and hurriedly called out to her, "Xue Mei, what happened to your hair? Why have you cut your perfectly good hair so short?"

Bai Xue put on a very panicked look and quickly put her straw hat back on, "Oh, don’t talk nonsense, Ru Hai’s wife. Just pretend you didn’t see anything."

The more she said this, the more curious Li Junping became, "What’s going on? Why so secretive? Did Old An bully you? Where has your hair gone?"

"How would Old An dare to bully me?" Bai Xue quickly waved her hands. She looked at Li Junping, about to say something, but then she thought better of it and swallowed her words, "Never mind, it’s better you don’t know."

The curiosity in Li Junping had been piqued, and seeing that Bai Xue absolutely refused to speak was really unbearable, "Xue Mei, look at you, I’m just asking where your hair went, as if I’ve asked something I really shouldn’t have. Are you working at the Central Confidentiality Bureau or something?"

Seeing that Li Junping had taken the bait, Bai Xue then reluctantly leaned in and whispered to her, "I’ll tell you, but you mustn’t tell anyone else. I’ve encountered a ’ghost haircut’."

"What?" Li Junping had heard the old people mention it, but she had never seen it herself, "What’s that all about?"

"I woke up and my hair was gone." Bai Xue had an innocent face, "I dreamed about An Hao’s dead mother, dreaming she was carrying a razor flying around wanting to shave my head. And here I am, it’s been a month and I’ve been scared to go out. You tell me, there isn’t a single thing at home that’s been going well."

"Are you telling the truth?" Li Junping looked incredulous.

"How could I possibly be deceiving you? I didn’t want to say it, but you insisted. Now I’ve told you and it’s still not right," Bai Yanjiao had a look of grievance, "I had originally planned not to go out for half a year, but recently, there’s just been too much evil at home. I had no choice but to go out to the neighboring village and ask Liu the witch to help break the spell in my house."

Bai Xue didn’t believe in ghosts, but Li Junping did.

Back then, when everyone said her son Qin Jian’s wife was cursed, she believed it wholeheartedly.

"Is it that serious? What did the witch say?" Li Junping couldn’t help but keep asking.

Bai Xue sighed and said, "The witch asked for the birthdates and astrological details of everyone in my family. She took a look and, believe it or not, the witch really does have some skills. She got everything right about the misfortunes happening in my family recently. After examining our astrological details, she finally said the problem was with An Hao. Her astrological chart is problematic, it clashes with ours, so there’s never peace in this house."
