"Poisoning? How could I be poisoned? Where would poison come from in the woods?"

The Ning family quickly stripped the two of them.

The old doctor said, "That's right. The two of them must have gone into the woods to relieve themselves and were bitten here by a snake. You'd better hurry up and take them to the county, otherwise, the poison will attack their hearts and they will die."

Aunt Ning cried and begged her in-laws to treat her husband's illness, since he was, after all, her own son. Old Mrs. Ning asked her husband to borrow some money from the village chief and find a car to take their son and grandson to the county for treatment.

However, when Old Man Ning, along with his eldest son and carrying borrowed silver, drove an oxcart to the county clinic, they received the same answer: the doctor couldn't cure them.

Old Man Ning had no choice but to take the person home as is.

Neither the uncle nor the nephew made it through that night; they passed away without even leaving a last word.

Aunt Ning cried as if the sky had fallen. She really didn't expect that her husband would lose his life just by going to town. How would she and her child survive in the future?

The eldest son's family was even more heartbroken. Their son, who was about to become a father, had died at this crucial moment.

They hated it all—the silver thief, the old woman who made her son go to town with the fourth son, and even the fifth daughter.

They completely forgot that it was their eldest son who, upon hearing that the Song family in town was looking for a woman to marry into the Song family to bring good fortune, didn't care whether Wu Ya was willing or not, and encouraged her parents-in-law to sell her to the Song family.

Some sins are self-inflicted.

Some debts must be repaid sooner or later.

That night, it was indeed not Si Yutang who came.

Ning Yan curiously examined the soul inside Song Yanzhao's body.

Yin Ponu felt a sudden unease under her gaze. Could she have seen something in her eyes?

And how come she's still awake?

What's your name?

Yin Ponu: It's confirmed, this woman saw him!

Isn't she afraid?

He's a ghost!

Her husband was possessed by a ghost, but instead of going to a Taoist priest to perform a ritual, she asked him who he was. How could she be so bold?

“I am Yin Ponu, a first-rank general of the Kingdom of Fan, and now I am your husband.”

Ning Yan: "My husband is Song Yanzhao, not you."

"But on our wedding day, he fainted, so I stood in for him and performed the wedding ceremony with you."

No wonder he went straight to the point that night; he must have thought of her as the woman he was going to marry.

"Don't you have a wife?"

Yin Ponu, shameless as ever, asked, "Then you're the stepmother?"

Ning Yan: "Get out!"

Yin Ponu would not leave. He had been dead for thirty-six years, and this was the first time someone had seen him and spoken to him. How could he leave?

Besides, he came from a military background and didn't know many words; he was just a shameless rogue. "Go to sleep first, then leave. My dear, I'm missing you terribly."

"Pah! I'm not your wife. The marriage certificate that betrothed me was signed by Song Yanzhao. You're just a shameless adulterer."

The man persisted, continuing to undress Ning Yan. "An adulterer is still a husband. Besides, is it that I don't want to give you a dowry? I can't go anywhere else but this room, otherwise I would have moved the entire treasury of Fan Kingdom to you."

"Why did you take money from the treasury of the State of Fan when you were offering betrothal gifts?"

The man paused for a moment, “I joined the army at the age of sixteen and fought for the Fan Kingdom for twelve years. I conquered most of the Fan Kingdom’s territory. But that treacherous Fan Tao was afraid that my achievements would overshadow his master, so he sent someone to assassinate me.”

"If I weren't already dead, I would have overthrown the Kingdom of Fan and seized the throne myself."

He felt a hint of resentment when this was mentioned.

His parents were biased. Of the four sons in the family, the eldest was the most favored and was sent to school at a young age. However, he did not study well and did not even pass the preliminary examination. But at least he could read and write, and later he went to the city to work as an accountant.

The second son didn't want to work hard to earn money to support the eldest son, so he found a woman and married into her family.

He was the third child, unloved by his father and mother, and had endless chores to do every day.

The youngest and most pampered child, the fourth child always gets the best food, while the eldest and the youngest get to eat it all, leaving the rest to just sit there.

Fortunately, he wasn't naive. Starting at the age of eight, he secretly learned martial arts from a lame bodyguard, in exchange for being able to take care of him in his old age and see him off in his final days.

It was also because of his adoptive father that he was able to survive in the military camp and repeatedly achieve military merits, eventually becoming a first-rank general.

The reason why that villain Fan Tao eventually ascended the throne was because he was completely illiterate. If his parents had sent him to school for even a year, he would never have given up the throne so easily.

"Then aren't you being generous with other people's money?"

"Ancestor, I'll give you all of mine, but let your husband kiss you first."

Ning Yan naturally let him kiss her; how could she ask for anything in return if she didn't?

The two slept together, and then hugged each other and talked about their plans.

"Yin Ponu, do you want to be resurrected?"

"Resurrection? How is that possible!"

"I've been dead for so long, my body is probably just a skeleton by now. Being able to be with you through Song Yanzhao's body is already more than enough for me."

"Have you ever thought about why you were able to get into his body? What if other ghosts like you got into his body? What would you do then?"

Yin Ponu suddenly became excited, "You mean someone else has entered this body?"

Ning Yan didn't hide anything from him and said yes directly.

"He treated you the same way?"

"My husband wants to sleep with me, what reason do I have to refuse?"

"But that ghost isn't your husband!"

Ning Yan turned her head to look at him, and Yin Ponu's voice went hoarse. Yes, they were all ghosts who were temporarily residing there. He was no different from the other one.

But the thought of his woman being slept with by someone else filled him with rage, and all his anger was directed at Ning Yan.

Ning Yan let him do as he pleased, but she didn't forget to make sarcastic remarks, "Look, you can't even handle this. What if ten or eight ghosts live in his body in the future? Wouldn't you torture me to death?"

My little body can't withstand your wild antics.

Yin Ponu shuddered. A barbarian donkey? "You, you can see me, you can't possibly still see me..."

Ning Yan frankly admitted, "Of course I can see it."

Yin Ponu was smug. "It's a pity we met decades too late, otherwise I would have let you experience the true power of this barbarian donkey."

Ning Yan: ...Have you already forgotten that someone else cheated on him?

"That's why I said I'd find a way to revive you, so you can marry a beautiful woman again and enjoy the bliss of having two wives."

Yin Ponu paused again: "So, you're going to pass me on to someone else?"

“I have a husband. You are only in this body now, otherwise who would care about you?”

Well, because of that one sentence, Yin Ponu didn't utter a sound for most of the night, venting all his anger on Ning Yan.

Ning Yan: Don't panic, hold on. It's all for the sake of enjoying the blessings of having multiple wives in the future. (End of Chapter)
