I saw her carry Hao Xiangwan in, but then take her back shortly after, and even light incense in the room to add to the festivities. Poor Zheng'er, so young, ruined by this old woman.

"Waaaaah, those of us who were murdered have no chance of being reincarnated; we can only be wandering ghosts, waaaaah..."

The low sobs, like snowflakes in the cold winter, drifted down one's heart, not freezing but enough to drown out the last remaining warmth.

The faces of everyone in the room were extremely grim. Cui Ruliu was angry because her son could not be reincarnated, Gui's mother was frightened by what Xiang Wan had said, and Hao Yuchun was shocked that someone knew about her absorbing life essence.

After all this commotion, the sun was gradually rising, and the ghosts should be kept at bay. So, she added one last thing: "Sister Cui, if the culprit doesn't suffer the punishment of being burned at the stake, we will all be wandering ghosts forever. I beg you, Sister, have mercy! Even for Zheng'er's sake, don't let these people get away with it. If I can help in any way, I'll find a chance to possess this woman and lend you a hand..."

Her voice trailed off as she slowly lay down on the ground, pretending to be unconscious.

In this era, most people believe in ghosts and gods. Even if they don't believe what she says, Hao Yuchun's affair is undeniable. Granny Shi isn't dead yet, and her affair with Hao Xuan will be discovered sooner or later. Once Cui Ruliu truly confirms that Xiang Wan's words are true, she will take revenge.

A woman's life is such that before marriage she lives for her parents, after marriage her husband revolves around him, and after having children she worries about. When her parents are gone, her husband is distant, and her children are harmed, all that's left is hatred. Cui Ruliu is such a tragic person, never living for herself. Hopefully, this time, she can survive to the end.
