Chapter 66 She was there, and she was satisfied [Bonus Chapter]

Guan Zhiwei nodded.

It's Awu.

Oh, I see.

That's bullshit!

"Brother-in-law, you're so quick-witted. I said there was a ghost, and you just went along with it and made up a ghost story." Guan Zhiwei giggled.

Sui Ying didn't speak, but Guan Nannan stood in front of him, in a semi-protective posture.

"Third sister, this isn't something your brother-in-law made up. This has been going on for a long time. Have you forgotten that servant..."

"I remember. He was feeling lonely and cold, so he went out to comfort himself. He accidentally got stung by a scorpion. It was really unlucky, and he was quite a pitiful person. But he was just too concerned about his image. If you're unlucky, you're unlucky, but he had to make up an excuse about being seduced by a female ghost. Then he suddenly died, and it became an unsolved case." Guan Zhiwei pouted.

Guan Nannan was stunned for a moment, then she sorted out her chaotic thoughts and retorted: "No, if there are no ghosts and the servant's death was an accident, then how come we can hear crying every year during Qingming Festival!"

"Because, besides you, there is one child who believed this nonsense."

The child will miss his mother.

The more the servants spread the rumor that A-Wu had returned, the more the little girl believed that she could encounter the female ghost in the dead of night, something that others avoided at all costs, but which she longed for.

She was so small, she stumbled and staggered as she ran outside. Especially during the Qingming Festival, when the night was so dark and the weather so cold, she would sneak out in the middle of the night, and the wind and rain would always make her sick.

Even so, she still happily went there.

That terrifying, dilapidated little courtyard was a place where she could cry, laugh, and make a scene.

Oh, old locust tree, did my mother ever stand in this place?

"Father knows this too, doesn't he? You've been letting the rumors run rampant. Who are you punishing? My mother? All of you have woven a ghost story for one child."

Silence fell, and no one spoke.

Zhi Junyuan stared at her in a daze, feeling that she was like a cavalryman charging into battle, exuding an extraordinary charm that left him speechless.

"Ha ha ha ha."

After laughing, Sui Xing said meaningfully, "Brother Guan, your daughter is not afraid of ghosts at all. She's incredibly brave. How did you raise her?"

Guan Zhiwei sneered: "What do I have to be afraid of ghosts for? Ghosts should be afraid of me."

Sui Xing's expression was not good; he had been contradicted by a maid.

Knowing how to defuse the situation, he said, "Young lady, you're quite bold. I'd love to have a daughter like that, but unfortunately, I'm not lucky enough to have one; I only have a stinky son."

Lord Guan stroked his beard and chuckled, "If you want to become in-laws with me, just say so."

Prefect Liang said with a smile, "It's a pity that my family has no eligible men. What a shame that Brother Zhi has found a suitable match."

With just a few words, they seemed to have brushed the matter aside, tacitly avoiding mentioning what Guan Zhiwei had said.

Their tacit understanding is infuriating.

"I'm drunk, help me downstairs to rest," Guan Nannan said softly.

Sui Ying put her arm around her shoulder as if she had been saved, and quickly helped her walk outside.

The two of them were so in sync.

Guan Zhiwei directly blocked their escape route.

Guan Nannan panicked: "Third sister, move aside."

"Why are you like this? You hate him so much you want to grind your teeth, and you look for any opportunity to teach him a lesson, always hurling insults at him. But when he really does something serious, and it comes down to it, you protect him." Guan Zhiwei felt a headache coming on; she simply couldn't understand this behavior.

Such illogical things keep happening, so what logic is behind it that she can't understand?

Guan Nannan was silent for a moment, then said, "There must be some misunderstanding here. There must be some misunderstanding somewhere. Your brother-in-law is not that kind of person. Many things are just your wishful thinking."

Guan Zhi smiled and looked directly at Sui Ying.

“She’s sick, and you can’t reach her, so go to the locust tree that symbolizes her mother.”

She went to find her mother in the dark and found Sui Ying.

Her cries sounded like A-Wu had returned.

The rumors of ghosts intensified, and Guan Zhiwei went to the abandoned courtyard out of curiosity.

That time, the little girl was sick and didn't go to see her mother. Sui Ying hadn't seen her for several days. In the intoxicating fragrance of locust blossoms, he took off his clothes and gently reminisced.

Sui Ying was trembling. That night, he heard a noise and tried to scare the person away by pretending to be a ghost, but instead, he was chased by the other party.

He was in a hurry to escape, and in his haste, he turned back once.

He saw a pair of terrifying eyes.

Now, he is looking into those eyes.

Guan Zhiwei thought, since I didn't kill him that night, I'll kill him today.

She gathered her clothes, and to everyone's astonishment, the Killing Yang Blade was born.

He chopped down hard, his head flying off, blood spurting from the severed neck, covering Guan Nannan's face.

She screamed at the top of her lungs: "Ah—"

The body collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Guan Zhiwei was delighted.

This knife was meant for that father and son. She should have prioritized the bigger picture, but that didn't suit her.

If Sui Ying were to take another breath of air, her obsessive-compulsive disorder would kick in.

The incident was sudden, and the fact that such a real fight could kill someone is far more impactful than a young girl's accusation at a banquet.

They shouted in panic, alerted, and called out, and the servants rushed over to protect their master.

This number of people isn't enough for Guan Zhiwei to kill.

Only Chen Jia Dalang stammered, "This...was this arranged?"

This is not it.

Guan Zhiwei broke her vow, but did God strike her down with lightning?

No.

"My God! The Guan family must give me an explanation for this! And give the Sui family an explanation!" Sui Xing slammed his fist on the table, his beard bristling with anger. "She actually dared to kill someone in court! She actually dared to kill someone in court! She even brought a knife!"

Zhi Fang and his son both laid down their weapons.

Zhi Junyuan's heart pounded; at first, he didn't recognize him at all.

Now, it seems he's starting to recognize the other person.

His body was covered in blood, and he was holding a knife; everything looked so familiar.

"Father, hurry, it's her!" Zhi Junyuan cried out urgently.

Zhi Fang placed his hand on his shoulder and said, "Don't panic. She didn't kill you or me; she chose to kill someone else."

"Third Sister! Have you gone mad?!" Lord Guan knew that his daughter was somewhat reckless, but this level of recklessness was beyond his comprehension.

He pointed at his daughter, his hand trembling, "I'm going to kick you out of the family! I'm going to remove you from the family tree!"

Guan Zhiwei raised an eyelid: "Fine, but if you want to acknowledge me again next time, it won't be this price."

"It's not enough to just expel her from the family; she killed someone, and she must pay with her life!" Sui Xing shouted. "Today, the Sui and Liang families are both witnesses!"

"Who's going to pay with their life? Weren't we supposed to be having dinner? Why are we fighting and killing each other now?!"

The head of the Jiang family arrived late, laughing heartily, and brought in a large group of people, each carrying a knife, who immediately occupied the entire garden.

Sui Xing shouted, "You've come at the right time! Seize this woman! So barbaric! She's truly motherless and uneducated!"

The moment he finished speaking, Guan Zhiwei's venomous gaze fell upon him.

Why do people always jump out to steal kills? They're eager to feed kills to the enemy team.

Lord Guan was extremely annoyed and didn't know what to say: "Why are you so late!"

"I've brought you a distinguished guest, this is a government official." The Jiang family head was strong and powerful, and everyone's eyes were drawn to him at first glance. It wasn't until he gestured for them to enter that they realized there was a rather slender man standing next to him.

Chen Jia's eldest son immediately exclaimed excitedly, "Grand Tutor Guan!"

Everyone was shocked by these words.

Is the woman who killed Gao Yang in the street, repelled the Yan people, and was promoted to the new Grand Tutor of the court the same person in front of me who is disguised as a man?

Gao Huan coughed. "It's too dark. You've mistaken me for someone else, Da Lang. Isn't Grand Tutor Guan over there?"

He pointed.
