[After marrying the peasant girl, he soon went out to do business. He was gone for more than half a year. When he returned, he heard that his wife had had an affair and was beaten to death by her mother-in-law.]
[She was already pregnant when she was beaten to death.]
[That child isn't dead?] Ji Yingying guessed that this was also the case!
Yes, the child didn't die, and neither did the mother. She was rescued and has been living in a coffin in a cave ever since. The child was also born in the coffin.
[Not long after, a ghost appeared in the Tang Mansion, the eldest young master's residence, saying that the eldest young mistress had returned to seek revenge.]
[Actually, no. It was a young lady from the household who fell in love with the eldest young master and used tricks on the eldest young mistress to win him over.]
[Wasn't marriage between first cousins prohibited?]
[This isn't the Tianyou Dynasty...]
[Oh, yeah, I forgot. I used to be from Linfeng Country. Keep going!]
[The story goes that when the eldest daughter-in-law of the Tang family went to the Tang family, she accidentally discovered that it was this cousin who had harmed her. She then wanted revenge. However, what she didn't know was that Mrs. Tang, the young master's mother, also disliked her, and it was she who instigated this cousin to harm the eldest daughter-in-law.]
"So what's the point of this nighttime funeral? This funeral has nothing to do with someone who died so long ago!"
[Yes, it's related. Ever since the Tang family's house became haunted, Mrs. Tang invited a Taoist priest to come and see. He said the spirit wouldn't leave and that a funeral procession at night was needed to send the person away. Moreover, the procession would last for forty-nine days!]
Good heavens, so what kind of ghost town is this? Funerals every night, it's making everyone terrified, and nobody dares to go out?
[That's pretty much it. After all, they're still alive. There's no point in doing this. Besides, Madam Tang already knows that her mother-in-law is also one of the people who harmed her.]
So what does she plan to do?
[Scared people to death, now let's make some money and get out of here!]
[Good job, where's that man? Why does it feel like he has nothing to do with me?]
He's still out of town and probably won't be back until the end of the year.
[Haha, when he comes back, his wife is dead, his child is gone, and his mother is gone! How tragic!]
【You want to help him? 】
Ji Yingying refused. If anyone was going to help, it would be that woman, since she was the innocent one.
As a man, if you marry a woman and then fail to settle her down properly, that is a mistake.
Tell me, how did the Tang family manage to kill their eldest daughter-in-law? Even catching her in the act of adultery isn't enough to warrant death!
[They threatened her, using Mrs. Tang's parents to blackmail her into hanging herself. Anyway, she didn't die. This was Mrs. Tang's idea, and that cousin was just carrying it out to curry favor with her.]
Okay, okay, I understand.
The shopkeeper also heard it. He couldn't help but glance at Ji Yingying secretly, and was dumbfounded when he saw that she didn't say anything.
I originally wanted to attack them both, but now I don’t dare to do that!
"Boss, aren't you afraid to set up your stall here at night?"
Everyone is afraid of such ghosts and gods, so how could he not be afraid?
"There's no other way; I have to support my family, so of course I'm not afraid. But gentlemen, why are you still here so late?"
[He's here! He's trying to find out about you. Be careful! He might do something to you. If he does, he'll sell you off to a brothel and you'll be finished!]
[Who do you think you are? What can a brothel do to me? When we were working in brothels, he probably wasn't even doing this kind of business yet.]
"We were just passing through and were looking for an inn to stay in, but the town was completely deserted."
"Oh, it's still about the Tang family, and the Tianyou Dynasty's attack before. Anyway, everyone here is staying home at night now."
"Didn't the Tianyou Dynasty say it wouldn't beat the common people? It wouldn't take a single needle or thread from them!"
"That being said, it doesn't mean everyone is like this. However, it's much better than before. At least the army of the Ren Tianyou Dynasty doesn't burn, kill, or loot. Now they just ask for what they want, and if they don't give it to them, it's no big deal. Our previous army, on the other hand, is completely incomparable."
"Too……"
"Then let us ask you if there is any restaurant nearby?" Mu Kaiji asked, changing the subject. It was so late and he really wanted to find a place to sleep.
"If all else fails, a brothel will do. I'm a notorious nightclub tyrant in the capital; I'll have to go at least once here. Besides, he has the connections to get there."
"We just want to find a normal restaurant to rest."
"There's a shop up ahead that should still be open. The guy there is pretty brave, so he probably won't close that early."
"Okay, thank you." Mu Kaiji pulled Ji Yingying away and went straight to the restaurant the owner had mentioned. They booked two rooms and went to sleep.
"You get some rest, we'll explore the area again tomorrow."
"Okay, okay!"
Ji Yingying felt something was wrong not long after she entered the house!
[Xiangxiang, have we run into a shady shop?] Why does it feel like someone is watching her?
As expected, God blesses the country to be safe. Other countries are unsafe even if they become one's own territory.
[This isn't a shady place, but you're definitely not safe anymore. You should get Rong Er out right away.]
Before Ji Yingying could even call out to Rong Er, the next second they heard the sounds of fighting, clearly indicating that a fight had broken out outside.
I was just about to let Xiangxiang pass the screen to see what was going on!
Someone is knocking on the door.
"Who is it?"
"It's me!" Mu Kaiji's voice rang out from outside. Ji Yingying immediately went to open the door, glancing around as she did so.
Who's fighting outside?
"I don't know, let's wait for Rong Er to come back and take a look."
Ji Yingying nodded and shouted to the sky, "Rong Er, you have to work hard. I'll give you an extra chicken drumstick tomorrow."
Rong Er: ...
"Detective, should we go take a look? I want to watch!"
Mu Kaiji sighed helplessly and poked her, "You really aren't afraid of death at all!"
"I'm scared! Death is terrifying! I haven't had enough chicken yet!"
"Then go to sleep obediently. You go to sleep first, I'll be back later." Mu Kaiji sat down at the table and told her to go to sleep first.
Seeing that she did not resist silently, he said, "If you keep doing this, even if you have experience growing up, you will not grow tall."
"Okay, man, you're right! This girl is going to bed now!"
He lay down and fell asleep soon after. Mu Kaiji couldn't help but sigh, "He really is heartless!"
Just as I was about to turn off the lights, Rong Er came back.
The two came out of the house, and Rong Er reported: "The person is dead. It was the Tang family who sent people. They probably heard something and wanted to kill him to silence him."
"The Tang family is quite capable! Keep a close eye on them."
"yes"
Mu Kaiji didn't go back to Ji Yingying's room. Instead, he went back to his own room to sleep. The next morning, Ji Yingying got up and asked Rong Er who had tried to kill her the day before.
Rong Er didn't hide it and told her that it was the Tang family who wanted to kill her!
[The Tang family? Are they crazy? Did I offend them?] Ji Yingying blinked, not understanding how she had offended the Tang family.
