The village chief, in unbearable agony, reached out his hand, trying to grasp at his last remaining hope.
Ye Lanyin was shocked by too many things today.
It overturned all the knowledge she had acquired in her lifetime.
She saw a ghost.
Ghosts who died in various ways.
She even met the Emperor of Fengdu in the underworld.
If word got out, she might be considered mentally ill.
She silently recited 'Amitabha Buddha' in her heart.
Qu Dapeng slid off the pillar.
He knelt before Lin Wanwan, imitating the Great Emperor of Fengdu.
He reached out and patted her little head:
"Grandma, you are the grandma of the entire Yunxi Village."
"The wife of the Marquis of Zhenbei gave birth to a great-aunt."
Hua Mei laughed as she watched Qu Dapeng's attitude change dramatically.
The village chief wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, as if he had become a different person overnight.
He walked shakily to Ye Lanyin and bowed deeply.
“Madam, I am deeply grateful.” His voice trembled slightly with respect.
Ye Lanyin gently shook her head, her voice soft yet firm: "Village Chief, you don't need to do that."
"If you ever need anything in the future, Madam, please come to Yunxi Village at any time. The gates of Yunxi Village will always be open to you."
The village chief took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind: "Madam, do you want to know about the ancient jade?"
Ye Lanyin raised her eyes, her gaze shining with determination.
"Madam is the mistress of the Marquis of Zhenbei, no wonder you came to Yunxi Village. The Marquis of Zhenbei brought a woman to Yunxi Village sixteen years ago, but that person was not you. I know her."
"At first I thought she was the first wife, but then Gu Cuiyu built a house overnight. I overheard her talking to herself. It turned out she was delivering babies for the Zhenbei Marquis's family and that's how she got the reward money."
"That woman was not the first wife, but the childhood sweetheart whom the Marquis of Zhenbei had admired for many years. The two grew up together."
"Because I wanted my child to be recognized as part of the family line, I wanted to pull a switcheroo when she delivered the baby."
"Everyone who knew about this died mysteriously. I dare not speak out, for fear of becoming the next target."
After the village chief finished speaking, he stood up.
"Please come with me, madam."
Ye Lanyin picked up Lin Wanwan and followed the village chief.
We arrived at the spot where we first settled when we entered Yunxi Village.
