Mu Xiaoyi echoed this sentiment, saying, "If you had called the police and strongly demanded a divorce when you were being abused, you might not have died."

Ya Zi listened to their discussion from the side without saying a word.

After listening to Mu Xiaoyi and Yue Jiuling's words, the female ghost said regretfully, "Yes, if only I had left them sooner, that would have been so much better. I was so stupid. I thought it was my fault that I couldn't have children, so I just endured their beatings and scoldings. But who knew that beating and scolding me wasn't enough, they actually wanted to kill me. I should have known sooner. They just wanted me dead. Once I was dead, he could find someone else. He doesn't dare to divorce me because my mother doesn't agree."

The female ghost said that when she married her husband, her mother said that their daughters could not get divorced after marriage. If they divorced, it would bring shame to their family and make things difficult for their in-laws as well.

Because the female ghost's mother was a notorious shrew. Anyone who knew her knew how vicious this woman was. She was the kind of shrew who used foul language, had low manners, and loved to argue and curse at people.

The female ghost also said that her mother once argued with people in the village for a whole day and night, which angered them so much that they ended up in the hospital. Therefore, her husband's family did not like to have contact with her family and were also afraid of that kind of shrew.

Therefore, the female ghost's husband dared not divorce her, and the female ghost dared not divorce her husband either, because in their family, once divorced, they would be looked down upon. So she endured the domestic violence from her husband's family and eventually died there.

"Tsk tsk, you're really good at enduring things, but what's the point of all this?"

Mu Xiaoyi chuckled and said, "Heh~ This is how it ends. Fine, this is all I can do for you. I won't worry about the rest. Just promise me that your husband and the others will turn themselves in."

On her way to the ghost's house, Mu Xiaoyi had already figured it out. She had done almost all the favors for Lao Cai: find the ghost, let it take revenge, find the dismembered body, and make the murderer confess. Now, all of that was almost done.

"But speaking of which, you've been dead for so long, why don't you go and take revenge yourself?"

Suddenly, Mu Xiaoyi remembered something else. Ever since she summoned the female ghost, the ghost had never mentioned wanting to take revenge. Even though she harbored considerable resentment, she never said she wanted to seek revenge. She only followed Mu Xiaoyi when Mu Xiaoyi said she wanted to go with her to take revenge.

"I... I can't get close to them."

Hearing Mu Xiaoyi's question, the female ghost replied, "After I died, I could move freely in the house, but whenever I got close to my husband and the others, I would be driven away by a golden light. I don't know why, but I guessed that they might be carrying some kind of talisman, otherwise why could I never get close to them?"

"Golden light? Could it really be a protective amulet?"

Mu Xiaoyi frowned and said, "These people are quite cunning. They know that after killing someone, they will carry a talisman for protection."

Yue Jiuling laughed and said, "Of course, they did something wrong after all. But they have protective charms on them, so how can Hu Xin take revenge?"

"Can't you help me?"

The female ghost Hu Xin suddenly pleaded, "I need your help, otherwise I can't get close to them at all."

"Hmm, well, how about this, we'll go check if they really have amulets, and if they do, we'll secretly steal them for you."

Mu Xiaoyi thought for a moment and said, "Let's go see what's going on with them. Hey, Jiuling, why does this look like the way to your house? Hey, Hu Xin, did you lead us the wrong way?"

"Ah, that's right, this is where I live. But this beautiful woman does live in the same direction as me; we're neighbors, one floor above the other."

The female ghost suddenly turned to look at Yue Jiuling. She winked at Yue Jiuling and said, "I'm sorry, when I became a ghost, I don't know why I always mistook my own house for yours, so I ran to your house and knocked on the door, but I was always scared away by your aura."

As she spoke, the female ghost secretly approached Yue Jiuling and said, "Don't worry, I've already made arrangements with your sisters. They won't reveal that your family is an unregistered household."

After hearing the female ghost's words, Yue Jiuling nodded and whispered, "Okay, thank you."

That's right. Before the female ghost was summoned, she was already at Yue Jiuling's house because Yue Jiunian had already captured her, mistaking her for a prankster ghost.

In order to explain the divided souls in the family, they lied to the female ghost that there were too many sisters in their family, all of whom were born in violation of the one-child policy and were all unregistered. They also asked the female ghost to keep it a secret!
