Xiao Tang smiled and gently leaned into Xiao Rourou's arms.

"Little sister, look at Dad, he's so fierce, it's scary."

Fearing that Xiao Tang's bad luck would spread to Xiao Rourou, Duke Xiao hurriedly pulled her away.

"Don't come near my Rou Rou!"

Heh heh.

Here's your Rou Rou back.

So what, your adopted daughter is yours, and you love her too?

Xiao Tang scoffed inwardly, "Duke Xiao, what business is it of yours that I'm here to attend my sister's funeral?"

She looked as if she had just realized something.

"Oh, by the way, I think the Duke has been frustrated and unsuccessful for many years. No wonder he has become so short-tempered."

"It's alright. You can resign from your official post and go to the countryside to farm. You won't have so many troubles then, and your temper will improve."

She finished speaking with a smile, then turned around and pulled Xiao Rourou away.

Xiao Rourou was completely bewildered from beginning to end.

She was puzzled by Xiao Tang's change in attitude.

What happened... that made her suddenly change her attitude towards me?

Could it be because of Di Yanhen?

However, this is also an opportunity that can be taken advantage of.

She also affectionately took Xiao Tang's arm, "Sister, you're so kind. Let's not bring up those misunderstandings between us anymore, okay?"

"Huh?" Xiao Tang looked puzzled. "What misunderstanding? We're sisters, how could there be a misunderstanding?"

Moreover, it wasn't a misunderstanding at all; the scheming female lead had always wanted to kill her.

What kind of misunderstanding is this?

The facts are right in front of us, what's there to misunderstand!

Xiao Tang cursed inwardly, but still smiled, "Right, little sister?"

Xiao Rourou heard this and cursed inwardly: Idiot!

"Sister is right, sister's words of advice are correct, Rou Rou will definitely remember them."

She held onto Xiao Tang's arm, gradually increasing the pressure.

The two walked hand in hand to Xiao Yingying's coffin and stood there.

Xiao Rourou softly said to the coffin, "Yingying, may you rest in peace. Look, your sister has come to see you."

Anyone who heard this would surely be horrified.

Xiao Rourou, however, acted as if nothing had happened.

Xiao Tang simply frowned.

She saw Xiao Yingying's vengeful spirit floating in mid-air not far away.

The vengeful spirit gradually became ferocious and grotesque in appearance.

His eyes were terrifyingly red, his face was unrecognizable, and he was even more ferocious than a ferocious beast.

Xiao Tang met her gaze.

The vengeful spirit probably harbored many grievances against Xiao Tang, and suddenly flew over, seemingly intending to attack her!

Splat!

Before Xiao Rourou could speak, she saw Xiao Tang suddenly pull out a talisman and stick it on the coffin lid.

The vengeful spirit that had just been flying in mid-air was sucked away by the talisman and scattered!

Xiao Rourou stared at the talisman, her expression changing.

She pursed her lips gently.

Damn it!

She had her master prepare this coffin specifically so that Xiao Yingying would not have a peaceful rest after death.

Master said that as long as Xiao Yingying's corpse lies in the coffin, it will surely turn into a vengeful spirit, and then it will concentrate all its resentment on Xiao Tang.

All you need to do is...

The evil spirits of vengeful ghosts are beyond the comprehension of normal people.

But she was horrified to see Xiao Tang so casually sticking the talisman in his hand to the coffin lid.

"Sister... what are you doing?"

"It's nothing, it's just for the deceased to pass on to the afterlife." Xiao Tang pointed to the coffin. "There are some things, sister, we still need to be more thorough in handling."

Xiao Rou Rou's lips also began to turn pale.

"After all, some people become vengeful spirits after they die, and she might linger in this Xiao mansion for a long time."

"I'm fine, but what if it harms the entire Xiao family?"

Xiao Rourou instinctively exclaimed in disbelief, "Impossible!"

Xiao Tang raised her eyebrows.

"No...it's impossible, my master has already been saved." Xiao Rourou realized her lapse in composure, smiled awkwardly, and then quietly reached for the talisman on the coffin.

"Where did you get this talisman, sister?"

As he spoke, he deliberately tore it off.

Xiao Tang looked completely indifferent.

The talisman has been applied and is already working.

That vengeful spirit had already been dispersed.

Want to reunite?

There's no chance in eight lifetimes.

Xiao Tang shook her head. "Well, of course there's a way, but you wouldn't understand these things."

Upon hearing Xiao Tang's words, Xiao Rou Rou's smile froze.

This woman!

"elder sister……"

"Don't worry, I'll stay with you today."

Xiao Rourou just wanted her to get lost!

She had planned to leave immediately after attending the funeral to meet up with Di Yanhen.

She was very worried when she heard that Di Yanhen was injured.

Her master also promised to go with her to treat Di Yanhen's injuries.

But to my utter surprise, Xiao Tang... inexplicably? Clinging to her?

That night.

Xiao Rourou glanced at the woman beside her and saw that she was still sitting there with her arms crossed, as if she had no intention of leaving. She gently bit her lower lip.

"Sister, is it really okay for you to be away all this time?"

Xiao Tang hummed in agreement.

"But the Regent will worry about you. If you don't go back, what if he gets angry when he finds out?"

Upon hearing this, she, who had been resting with her eyes closed, raised her eyelids.

"Why is my sister so nervous? Does she also want to come back to the Regent's Palace with me?"

"Ah...no." Xiao Rourou hurriedly shook her head.

She just really didn't want Xiao Tang to stick to her.

She was very irritable.

Seeing that she was about to lose her temper, Xiao Tang smiled and explained, "Don't worry, my husband isn't that petty. He definitely won't be angry."
