Chapter 819 The Bride Who Died of Fright 6

"Go to the Song family in town another day and sound them out. That girl hasn't really cut ties with her family, has she?"

Speaking of this, Aunt Ning also regretted it a bit. She shouldn't have made a scene on the spot. This girl was just about to become successful. If things had turned sour, wouldn't she have been the one to suffer?

"Okay, I'll give it a try."

"Tsk~ If we had known she could sell for so much money, we should have started preparing to divide the family property a long time ago. That's 150 taels of silver, enough to buy a small courtyard in town."

"Even if we don't buy a yard, we can buy fifteen acres of land in the countryside, and we won't have to worry about making a living."

...

Ning Yan woke up after sleeping for half an hour. As soon as she moved, the person next to her got up as well. "Did I wake you up?"

"No."

Ning Yan helped him get out of bed and put on his shoes. The two washed their faces and went to the study.

It's the same book as yesterday. Today's chapter describes Regent Si Yutang attending a banquet at someone else's residence. He wears a white jade crown, a white feather robe, has a bright, star-like face, and stands tall and straight...

Ning Yan felt dizzy upon hearing this. How could this description be so similar to the ghost from last night?

She took the book from Song Yanzhao's hand and started reading it again from the first page.

Si Yutang was the regent of the State of Bao in history. He was the second son of the empress and a man of great talent, skilled in both literature and martial arts. His wife was the daughter of the prime minister of Bao. He had no children, but unfortunately, he died at the age of twenty-eight.

She strongly suspected that the man from last night was none other than Si Yutang, the regent of the Bao Kingdom.

The Kingdom of Bao has existed for 470 years. Based on the average lifespan of people in ancient times, he could have been reincarnated ten times.

"What's wrong? Don't you recognize the words you learned before? Let me read them to you again."

Ning Yan returned the book to Song Yanzhao and casually replied with an "okay".

As expected, the same people who came last night arrived in the evening.

Ning Yan was waiting for someone, so the other person was unable to undress her.

"Who are you?"

Si Yutang paused for a moment, "Your husband."

"You are not."

"You...you saw me? Then tell me, what do I look like now?"

"Dressed in white and wearing a jade crown, he was a dignified and imposing figure."

Si Yutang was even more surprised. These eight characters contained his name in a subtle way. How could she describe it so accurately?

No, that's not the point. She really could see him!

Si Yutang was somewhat excited. "I am Si Yutang, the Regent of Bao Kingdom. Have you read history books? If you have, you should know me."

Ning Yan didn't know this at first, but Song Yanzhao mentioned it to her in the study today when he was teaching her to read.

The country she is currently in is called Ran, and it has been established for 106 years.

After the fall of the State of Bao, the world was in chaos, and small states began to emerge.

The land they lived on had been ruled by a king, and the country was called Lin. Only after Lin's demise did the country of Ran come into being. She also remembered the time of Si Yutang's death. "Four hundred and seventy-three years have passed since your death. Logically, you should have been reincarnated long ago. How could you appear in my husband's body?"

I don't know why either.

After my death, I witnessed the Kingdom of Bao being replaced by other states, and then I was trapped inside a book until three years ago when I could occasionally possess Song Zhaoyan's body at night.

Ning Yan became even more curious, "You mean that book, 'The Biography of the Regent of Bao Kingdom'?"

"You've read this book too?"

"I just read it today." It turned out that the book was the medium through which the old ghost in front of her communicated with Song Yanzhao, but she did not find anything unusual in the book, not even a trace of yin energy.

As expected, the longer you live, the more you see; there are things in this world that she doesn't understand.

"Then why did you want to have marital relations with me as soon as you arrived?"

When asked about this, Si Yutang was unusually embarrassed.

"With such a beautiful woman by his side, and given his physical condition, he simply cannot have sex with you. I love beauty."

"Is your regent's wife also very beautiful?"

Si Yutang said, "No, you are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in all my years of life."

"Ha, no matter how nicely you put it, it can't hide the fact that you're a despicable scoundrel who takes advantage of others' misfortunes and forcibly takes another man's wife."

Si Yutang felt ashamed and a little guilty.

But he hadn't done that for hundreds of years. Seeing such a beautiful person lying next to him, wasn't it normal for him to have impulses?

However, this body was in terrible condition, and its size was also somewhat different from his, so last night was a little unsatisfactory.

If only he had a body.

Well, if someone has a body and then goes to someone else's room to do this, then he really is a despicable person who lusts after another man's wife and forcibly takes her.

What are you going to do?

Ning Yan: Okay, well done. Doesn't that mean I know what I'm doing is wrong, but I just won't change it, and what can you do about it?

"You've lived for so many years, you must have some abilities, right?"

Si Yutang: "That's for sure."

If he could continue to be her husband, he wouldn't mind giving her all his treasures; after all, she was now practically his wife.

"Then you should take me back to my parents' home right away, and I'll show you the way."

"I am trapped here. Wherever Song Yanzhao is, I will be there."

Ning Yan said, "Don't worry, with me here, you can go wherever I want you to go."

Si Yutang didn't ask why she wanted to go back to her parents' home so late at night. He simply came out of Song Yanzhao's body, a wisp of yin energy enveloped Ning Yan, and the two of them disappeared from the room in the next second.

The journey of five or six miles was only a short while for a ghost like Si Yutang who had lived for hundreds of years.

The Ning family had many members and many houses. Ning Yan treated Si Yutang like a treasure-hunting rat, letting him search through every room. Although the scattered silver coins he obtained were limited, Ning Yan was very satisfied.

Si Yutang searched Ning Laotai's room again. There was even more silver in this room, more than two hundred taels, as well as a gold hairpin, two silver hairpins, two gold rings, and a silver bracelet.

In addition, the gifts from the Song family for returning home today were hidden in the cabinet. They didn't even eat the snacks, but the sealed silver was opened. Ning Yan directly took all of the more than two hundred taels of silver.

The family was clearly so rich, yet they still sold the original owner to a sickly man who was on the verge of death, causing the original owner to be scared to death. It serves them right that they were robbed of everything.

To her utter surprise, the original owner's parents had actually saved 72 taels of silver.

After deducting the fifty taels from selling their daughter, they still had twenty-two taels left. I don't know how they managed to save so much money without dividing the family property.

That couple was indeed the most shrewd of the five households.

Looking at the smile on her face, Si Yutang couldn't help but ask, "You're so happy with just this little bit of silver?"

"Oh, you don't understand. This is my enemy's money. I'd be happy even if only a tael or two ended up in my hands."

"You say your family members are your enemies? Then should I wipe them out?"

"No need! Living without a single penny is more painful than letting them die directly."

After searching through all the branches of the Ning family, the man and the ghost returned to the Song family.
