Liu Ruyan said, "Grandmother, the Spirit Pearl was lit up and all the people in the city went out. We also wanted to witness the grand scene of the Ghost Festival, but we didn't know that something like this would happen."

“I don’t know what happened. My husband was fine at first, but then some people in the crowd called out to him, and he suddenly stopped in the middle of the lake. No matter how hard he swam, he couldn’t swim back.”

At this point, Liu Ruyan burst into tears.

The old lady vaguely remembered a legend in the Holy Kingdom.

If it is the Ghost Festival and someone calls you, you must not turn around. If you do, your soul will leave your body and you will suffer a day of hellish torment.

After a person dies, the body does not decompose immediately; there is a saying that the body is left to rot for three days.

Therefore, they will return in one day if they are quick, and in three days if they are slow.

Her cane fell to the ground with a thud, and her expression was extremely unpleasant.

Zou Shuang'er asked in alarm, "Madam, what's wrong?"

"Shixuan...Shixuan has been bewitched."

"What?" Liu Ruyan and Zou Shuang'er exclaimed in unison.

"Madam, Shixuan was perfectly fine, how could he suddenly be possessed?" Zou Shuang'er hurriedly grabbed the old lady's hand and asked excitedly, "And why was only he being possessed?"

The old lady pushed Zou Shuang'er aside and walked towards Lin Shixuan. Looking at his calm face, tears streamed down her face again.

“There is a legend in the Holy Kingdom that if someone calls you on the Ghost Festival, you must not turn around. If you do, your soul will leave your body and be taken to hell by evil spirits.”

Zou Shuang'er's legs went weak, and she collapsed to her knees.

She felt a chill run down her spine, and a wave of fear washed over her.

"How could this be? This... Madam, could Shixuan really be dead like this?"

The old lady reached out and touched Lin Shixuan's forehead. "No, he will wake up in three days at the latest."

"As for what will happen after I wake up, I can only leave it to fate."

Liu Ruyan felt a chill run down her spine after hearing this, and many scenes from yesterday flashed through her mind.

When Shixuan sank down, his eyes were clearly empty and lifeless, as if... as if he was screaming at the top of his lungs.

Her hands trembled slightly. She had just gotten married. If something happened to Shixuan, wouldn't she have to stay with this dull-witted man for the rest of her life?

No.

No.

No.

She still has a lot of youth left, and she hasn't had any children yet.

"Grandmother, is there any way to wake him up?"

The old lady shook her head.

Upon seeing this, Liu Ruyan was completely paralyzed.

She leaned against the bedside and sat on the floor in grief.

Suddenly, Zou Shuang'er's murderous eyes glared fiercely at Liu Ruyan, and she pounced on Liu Ruyan with all her might.

"You wretch, it's all your fault! Shixuan was perfectly fine before the marriage, but he turned into this as soon as he got married. You jinx, I'll strangle you."

Zou Shuang'er grabbed Liu Ruyan's neck tightly. Liu Ruyan had no time to resist and her eyes turned bloodshot as she was choked, making it difficult for her to breathe.

Upon seeing this, the maidservant hurriedly ran to Furong Garden to find Ye Lanyin.

Ye Lanyin had just finished her breakfast and was now serving breakfast to Lin Wanwan's pet chicken.

Since returning yesterday, the little guy has been talking to the chicken, sharing his innermost thoughts.

They said things like it was cheap for her to sit on the altar.

"chicken."

"sky."

"Call…"

Lin Wanwan stuck her bottom out and hid behind the bench, waiting for the chicks to come to her.

The chick, with its two legs, chirped and ran behind her, gently pecking her bottom.

She chuckled.

How did you find me?

The paintings of the heart and plum blossoms are too ugly to look at.

"Madam, Madam, something terrible has happened!"

A maid rushed in from outside the door, and was stunned when she saw Lin Wanwan and the chicks on the ground.

"What's wrong?" Ye Lanyin came out from outside.

"Madam, Concubine Zou and the eldest young mistress are fighting."

"What happened?"

"The eldest son is unconscious, and Concubine Zou has beaten the eldest young mistress."

"Didn't the doctor say yesterday that everything was fine?"

The maidservant said, "Madam, the old lady said that the eldest young master's soul was bewitched, which is why Concubine Zou hit the eldest young mistress and blamed her for being a jinx."

Upon hearing this, Ye Lanyin adjusted her clothes.

"Alright, you can go back now. I'll be there in a bit."

"Yes, madam."

After the maid finished speaking, she hurriedly ran back.

Ye Lanyin walked to the ground, picked up Lin Wanwan, and said, "Huaxin, you stay and play with Wanwan in the yard. I'll go check on her."

No, no, no.

I want to go too!

"Mommy~" she said in her childish voice, "I~"

Then he stretched out his hand, pointed to himself, and then pointed to the door.

"gas……"

Ye Lanyin shook her head with a smile, there was really nothing she could do about it.

I never know what she's thinking, all day long.

He reached out and tapped Lin Wanwan's nose. "Okay, go, go."

"whee…"

Afterwards, Ye Lanyin, along with Hua Mei and Lin Wanwan, headed towards Yifeng Residence.

Before we even reached the door, we could hear a commotion inside.

The old lady complained and tried to persuade her, but to no avail.

"Stop!"

Ye Lanyin's reprimanding voice rang out from outside the door.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan and Zou Shuang'er immediately stopped.

Seeing the two disheveled people, Ye Lanyin walked to the main seat and sat down.

"A concubine and a young mistress, what kind of behavior is this?"

Liu Ruyan immediately knelt down and cried, "Mother, it was this lowly concubine. She came to me early this morning and insulted me, calling me a jinx."

“My daughter-in-law thinks that she has always respected her husband and been filial to you since she married into the Marquis’s family. I never thought that having a daughter was not enough for her, but that she would also want to be my daughter-in-law’s mother-in-law.”
