She stood at the door for a moment before walking towards the bed.

Shen Huaixu secretly counted her steps. After the footsteps stopped, she heard a woman's voice.

"Princess...Princess..." Her voice trembled abnormally, and it was hard to tell whether it was because of sadness or excitement. She sighed, "Wei Nishang, ah, Wei Nishang..."

Then her tone suddenly changed, and she choked with sobs as she accused him, as if every word was pierced by tears: "I never thought that this day would come to you! Wei Nishang, you've caused me so much pain—!"

"I assisted you wholeheartedly and did everything you said, yet how did you treat me? You knew there was something strange about that village, yet you kept me there for so long, turning me into neither human nor ghost—you're so cruel!"

"How do you feel about this thing you asked me to dig out for you being blown up like this?"

"I know you don't like my appearance and think that I stole your limelight as soon as I appeared. Look at you now, you are still no match for me..." She giggled, which seemed particularly creepy in such a situation.

"Your current fate is retribution. Even if you die, I will not let you go!"

…

The woman whispered for a long time in front of the bed, and Shen Huaixu felt that the woman's psychology was twisted beyond belief.

At first, she wondered who this person was, but then she figured it was the witch Wu Li. No wonder she thought this witch was too low-key; she hadn't seen her before in all the time she'd been here.

Now I think she must be the woman in black who was sent to Lingling Village by Qiao Man. She was deeply harmed by the fluorescent stone, which is why she became so resentful.
