Seeing Li Muge talking to herself, Li Wanqing felt a sense of scorn in her heart, but on the surface, she pretended to be a considerate younger sister.

She had always been jealous of Li Muge, who was just a fool, yet he had the right to claim the title of princess.

The title of princess is truly fitting for her status as the most talented woman in everyone's eyes, which is why people are convinced of her worth.

Li Wanqing subconsciously focused her gaze on the Regent, her heart fluttering. The Regent was indeed as virtuous and upright as the legends had it.

If it weren't for the intense fierceness between his brows, he truly deserved the title of a refined and elegant gentleman.

This fool got married; he got off easy.

Li Wanzhengqing planned to step forward and persuade Li Muge not to do anything foolish and embarrass the Zhenyuan Marquis's mansion.

Unexpectedly, the Regent Prince walked up to Li Muge first, his face grim.

Li Wanqing was eager to see what would happen, knowing that given the Regent's unpredictable temper, her elder sister was likely to suffer the consequences.

The little ginseng spirit struggled incessantly within Li Mu's singing, its short legs refusing to listen to the "thump thump thump".

But no matter what, she couldn't break free from Li Muge's control.

“Bad boy.” Li Muge repeated.

"No, I'm not a bad child, I just want to play with my brother." The little ginseng spirit argued defiantly, and when she couldn't break free, she simply crossed her arms and puffed out her cheeks.

Yun Qi caught a glimpse of this scene, his eyes turning deep and unfathomable.

Those present, especially Wei Tao, had already sentenced the newly appointed princess to death in their hearts.

After all, if you anger the Regent, death might be a relief. The Regent is a master at manipulating people's hearts and minds, making those who offend him wish they were dead.

Even though he had been by the Regent's side for so many years, his head seemed to be sewn shut, not secure at all.

They were terrified that if they offended the regent, they would lose their heads.

"Is it a child?" Yun Qi asked tentatively.

“Yes,” Li Muge said seriously, even though to a normal person she was holding a ball of air.

To everyone's astonishment, the regent actually believed it.

"Alright, if you're tired of carrying it, I'll do it." Yun Qi smiled faintly, like a summer breeze.

But the more this happened, the more uneasy Li Muge became. She loosened her grip, and the little ginseng spirit ran away as soon as it hit the ground.

"Oh, no, I'm sorry, Regent, the little child ran away. It didn't mean to, so please don't hold it against him."

Seeing the Regent's displeasure, Li Muge quickly added, "The chubby baby just wanted to play on the swing with you because you're so handsome, Regent. It didn't mean any harm."

"Hmm." Yun Qi didn't know why she had such a good temper towards Li Muge. Every time she saw Li Muge, she always had a sense of familiarity.

This feeling was extremely complex, making him feel inexplicably irritable while also making him want to get closer to Li Muge.

Li Wanqing lowered her mocking gaze; it seemed that even the Regent was acting somewhat strangely.

In that light, Li Muge and he seem to be a good match.

When the regent prince returned to his parents' home, he nearly killed his father-in-law, and Lady Su dared not show her face.

Li Muge lowered her eyes and carefully tugged at the Regent's sleeve: "Regent, let's go back."

Even though Li Muge was immersed in cultivation, he instinctively felt that the Regent's Palace, which appeared to be a living hell to outsiders, was more comfortable to him than the cold and indifferent Zhenyuan Marquis's Palace.

"No, isn't the homecoming a tea ceremony? Li Muge, do you want outsiders to say that I am ignorant of etiquette?"

"No, no." Li Muge gripped Yun Qi's sleeve slightly nervously; she was always reluctant to speak.

Wei Tao couldn't help but speak up: "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Zhenyuan has already fainted, so he certainly can't drink the tea you offer."

"What's the big deal? Go and call him. If he can't get up," Yun Qi pondered for a moment, "then pour a basin of ice water on him. The tea that I offered him, Marquis Zhenyuan has no choice but to drink it."

Wei Tao thought to himself that the Regent was too cruel. The Marquis of Zhenyuan had such a big bump on his head that he probably couldn't even stand up. How could he be in the mood for tea?

The Marquis of Zhenyuan was abruptly awakened by a bucket of ice water.

On the day of her eldest daughter's return to her parents' home, Lady Su and the Marquis of Zhenyuan supported each other and drank tea with the Regent Prince, their son-in-law, without daring to breathe.

When Madam Su saw the miserable state of the Marquis of Zhenyuan, she trembled with fear. Her face was gaunt: "Mu Ge, you don't need to come back unless you have something to do with the Regent."

"Oh, oh." Li Muge nodded as if she understood, then went back to looking through her Taoist books.

"Let's go, you silly girl." The Regent grabbed Li Muge by the collar and left.

Marquis Zhenyuan, having been subjected to such torment, dared not utter a single word of complaint. When the Regent brought Li Muge back, he only brought a tea shop bag, but when he left, he had many bags and packages.

The Zhenyuan Marquis's mansion was almost emptied out.

"Respectfully seeing off the Regent." Marquis Zhenyuan bowed deeply. After watching the Regent's carriage disappear into the distance, his vision went black, and he could no longer hold on, fainting.

"Oh, my lord, how are you?"

"father."

Madam Su and Li Wanqing rushed to help her up, with Madam Su sobbing and saying that this was a jinx returning home.

"Mother, be careful, walls have ears. Do you want the Regent to hear us?" Li Wanqing's face darkened.

Only then did Madam Su realize that she had spoken out of turn. She dared not let that madman, the Regent, return. If the Regent heard her, her whole family would probably die at his hands.

Inside the carriage, Li Muge sat obediently opposite the Regent, occasionally stealing a glance at the Regent who was resting with his eyes closed.

She didn't understand why people said the Regent was a bad person, since he was clearly a good person even though he was cold.

"Li Muge, take your eyes off me. If you keep looking, you'll lose your eyes."

"Oh, okay." Li Muge lowered her head, no longer daring to look at Yun Qi.

After returning to the Regent's Palace.

Li Muge thought of the clenched marks on her ankle, which were getting deeper and deeper.

She opened her bundle, took the compass in her hand, and ran once again to the withered grove of trees near the Regent's Palace.

"Help me, help me, I'm underground."

The familiar female voice lingered in Li Muge's ears again, causing him excruciating pain and a feeling as if his head was about to explode.

"Stop arguing." Li Muge picked up the compass, but the compass needle pointed right at him.

Li Muge looked back and saw a woman in theatrical costume suddenly appear behind her.

The female ghost was covered in mud, and what was worse, blood was dripping from her lower body.

Li Muge noticed that the female ghost had no eyes, and suddenly the words the regent had once threatened her came to mind.

Could it be...?

Li Muge covered her lips in fear; the female ghost was killed by the Regent.

The formation of a vengeful ghost is not easy.

Especially for a female ghost like this, filled with resentment, it requires an extremely large amount of resentment and obsession to sustain it.

"Quickly, dig quickly."

The female ghost seemed to want Li Muge to dig her out.

Li Muge took out the peach wood sword: "No, the book says it's all nonsense, I can't believe you."

There must be something here that can suppress and restrain the female ghost; she'll dig it out eventually.

If the female ghost were to turn her back on us, wouldn't it be even more difficult to deal with her?
