"You still need to keep an eye on Fan Baowen and the Du family."

Today, Xia Chunmei slapped Fan Baowen in front of everyone, and Xia Chunmei clearly saw the fleeting venomous look in Fan Baowen's eyes at that moment.

He will definitely take revenge on me!

"Have you done what I asked you to do?"

"It's all taken care of, don't worry."

"That's good. By the way, have you noticed anything unusual at the Du family's place recently?" Xia Chunmei asked.

Mentioning this, Xia Ping'an blushed.

Why is your face red?

I never knew ghosts could blush. I've really learned something new.

As soon as Xia Chunmei finished speaking, a beautiful female ghost suddenly appeared: "Brother Ping An!"

Brother Ping An!!!

Xia Chunmei felt that she had discovered some incredible secret!

She looked the female ghost up and down. Judging from her appearance, figure, and demeanor, she was probably not a ghost from an ordinary family.

"Who is she?" Xia Chunmei asked with a mocking expression.

The beautiful ghost looked surprised: "You can actually see us? You must be the very capable eldest daughter Brother Ping An mentioned!"

"I am his eldest daughter, Xia Chunmei. How should I address this lady?"

As soon as Xia Chunmei finished speaking, the beautiful ghost immediately knelt down in front of her: "Miss Xia, please save my son!"

After saying that, he kept kowtowing to Xia Chunmei.

"What are you doing? Get up quickly."

Xia Pingan said, "Xiaoxiao, get up quickly, get up and talk."

"Miss Chunmei, you can see me. I've heard Brother Ping'an talk about you. You're a capable person, and I'm willing to be your slave to repay you. Please, please save my son!" Ling Xiaoxiao cried, her face covered in tears.

"You stand up and speak first."

The beautiful ghost then stood up and began to tell her story.

Her name is Ling Xiaoxiao, she is twenty-six years old this year, she was originally Du Jinghua's concubine, and she has a son named Du Shan, who is eight years old this year.

Ling Xiaoxiao was already beautiful, but after having a child, she became even more charming and alluring, and was greatly favored by Du Jinghua.

This greatly angered Madam Du, partly out of jealousy and partly out of fear that Du Shan would compete with her son for the family property in the future.

So they plotted to have Ling Xiaoxiao and Du Jinghua's illegitimate son, Du Bin, have an affair. Du Jinghua caught them red-handed, and Ling Xiaoxiao was beaten to death on the spot!

Ling Xiaoxiao was worried about her son Du Shan, so she was reluctant to go to the underworld and wanted to stay in the Du family to accompany her son as he grew up.

However, ever since Ling Xiaoxiao died, the servants in the mansion have started to bully Du Shan. Of course, all of this was tacitly approved by Madam Du, while Du Jinghua turned a blind eye. As a result, the servants began to escalate their mistreatment.

Seeing her son living such a miserable life, Ling Xiaoxiao was tormented and her resentment grew stronger day by day. She wished she could devour Madam Du alive.

Although ghosts do not possess magic and cannot use it to harm people, if they harbor strong resentment and stay with someone for a long time, that person's lifespan will be affected.

Ling Xiaoxiao is now following Madam Du in order to seek revenge. Xia Ping'an met Ling Xiaoxiao while he was monitoring Madam Du and her daughter.

The two ghosts were both shocked when they first met.

After a conversation, they learned each other's identities. Xia Ping'an advised her to reincarnate as soon as possible, because humans and ghosts are different. If Madam Du lost her lifespan because of her, she would also be punished by the laws of the underworld.

Xia Chunmei: "Sister Ling, my father is right, you should reincarnate sooner."

"But what about my son? He's only eight years old. He can't even get scraps to eat every day. When he's starving, he has to rummage through the swill bucket for food. Miss Xia, please help me."

How would you like me to help you?

“I want my son to stay with you. I don’t want him to continue living in the Du family.”

"You've stumped me."

Even if Du Shan is not favored, he is still a son of the Du family. Getting him out of there is no easy task; how could the Du family possibly let him go?

And what about how to settle things with him after he's born? It's so easy to say, doesn't it mean you're not responsible for him?

"I can only promise you that I will help you if I can in the future."

"Miss Xia, as long as you can help me get my son out, I will do anything for you. I can also tell you some of the Du family's secrets so that you can easily defeat them!"

“My father is keeping an eye on the Du family. I’ll find out what secrets they have sooner or later,” Xia Chunmei said. “Your offer doesn’t appeal to me. You should know that it will be very difficult for your son to leave the Du family.”

Xia Chunmei wasn't some idle philanthropist; she sympathized with Du Shan, but she couldn't take on everything herself.

She can't even protect herself.

Hearing this, Ling Xiaoxiao cried even harder, staring at Xia Chunmei in astonishment. Didn't Xia Ping'an say she was very kind? Why wouldn't she help?

Xia Pingan felt that Ling Xiaoxiao was crying very sadly, and his sympathy was overflowing. He looked at Xia Chunmei with pleading eyes.

Xia Chunmei bluntly said, "Don't look at me like that. I have three younger sisters to support. I went to great lengths to get her son out of the house. How will you take care of him if he stays with me? It's easy for you to say. Don't you have to take responsibility for him? What will you feed and give him? He's only eight years old. He has a long future ahead of him."

Xia Pingan then realized that he had been thinking too simply.

Xia Chunmei then asked, "Don't you have a family home?"

Ling Xiaoxiao shook her head: "I was sold into the Du family as a maid when I was very young. Miss Xia, I have money. I have hidden a sum of money, enough for my son to eat and drink. My son doesn't need you to support him. Please, please."

Ling Xiaoxiao kept kowtowing.

“It’s impossible for your son to stay with me, but you can appear in his dream and tell him where you’ve hidden the money. Tell him to keep a low profile after he gets the money, and it would be best if he pretends to be sick and stays at the estate. Otherwise, no matter how much money he has, he’s too young to keep it safe.”

In a situation like Du Shan's, unless he is self-reliant and intelligent, outsiders really can't help him much.

Unlike in modern times, in ancient times, you could call the police and the local government would get involved, giving you a chance to survive.

Ling Xiaoxiao looked troubled: "It costs money to send messages in a dream."

Ling Xiaoxiao has no family, and Du Shan is too young to afford to spend money on her.

"I can help you with this. I'll burn some money for my dad tonight and have him lend it to you."

If Ling Xiaoxiao were to appear in a dream, it would mean that the underworld would definitely take her back and she could no longer stay in the human world.

Ling Xiaoxiao hesitated.
