Her resentment and unwillingness to accept her fate caused her spirit to linger in the world, witnessing everything that happened after her death.
The Song family father and son were shocked and grieved when they received the news of Song Xinlan's "death." They could not believe that she was gone.
The two ran to the Han residence and saw Han Xiuzhe embracing Zhang Yanyan and playing around. The woman was wearing a gemstone hairpin that Song's father had given to his daughter as part of her dowry.
"That's my elder sister's hairpin. Give it back to me!"
The eleven-year-old boy rushed over, knocked Zhang Yanyan down, and snatched back the hairpin that his older sister liked the most.
Song's father cursed Han Xiuzhe, calling him heartless and ungrateful.
This situation led him to suspect that his daughter had been murdered, so he demanded Song Xinlan's body.
However, Han Xiuzhe refused, saying that Song Xinlan had already married into the Han family, and even if she died, she would be a ghost of the Han family.
His attitude made Song's father increasingly suspicious of the cause of his daughter's death, so he made up his mind that even if it meant going bankrupt, he would seek justice for his daughter.
He was just a merchant with only silver in his hands. But as long as he was willing to spend money, he wasn't afraid of not finding an official willing to take his case.
His daughter cannot die in such an unclear and unexplained way.
Han Xiuzhe tried every means to explain and appease him, but Song's father always looked at him with hatred.
Song Xingchen glared at him fiercely, wishing she could bite him to death.
Seeing the father and son relentlessly pursuing him like madmen, Han Xiuzhe once again harbored murderous intent.
Before the lawsuit could be filed, a group of "robbers" broke into the Song residence late at night, and the Song father and son became victims of their violence.
Song Xinlan's soul was covered in blood and tears. She rushed forward to try to shield her father and brother from the knife, but it was all in vain.
She watched as Han Xiuzhe feigned deep grief, went to great lengths to arrest the robbers, and even held a funeral for them.
Everyone praised the son-in-law of the Han family for being so kind and righteous.
After the Song family line ended, Han Xiuzhe inherited all of the Song family's assets as the Song family's son-in-law.
Song Xinlan's resentment grew stronger until she was finally able to leave when summoned by the Chaos Pagoda.
Song Xinlan: "I want Han Xiuzhe and his mother to suffer a terrible death, and I want Zhang Yanyan to lose everything and live a life worse than death."
"Please help me protect my father and brother, as well as Hongdou and Lvzhu. I hope they are all well."
Qi An nodded: "Don't worry, everything will be as you wish."
There are still two weeks until Han Xiuzhe returns, so Qi An plans to play with this old geezer for a while.
Before that adulterous couple returned, the Han family would be surnamed Song.
Han's mother was kicked by Qi An so hard that her internal organs almost shifted, and it took her a long time to get up, grimacing.
She summoned all the servants: "All of you, get her! Grab that bitch! I'm going to beat her to death today!"
The maids and servants hesitated; no matter what, the young mistress was still their master.
Even if the old lady could lay a hand on her, the servants, though they might laugh at her in their hearts, wouldn't dare to use violence against her.
"Whoever catches this slut will be rewarded with ten taels of silver!" Han's mother roared.
Everyone's eyes lit up, eager to make a move.
Green Pearl and Red Bean stood in front of Qi An, their voices trembling as they said:
"You must not disrespect the young lady. The general will not let you off if he finds out."
Qi An sighed, "Silly girl, just as silly as their young lady."
Qi An pushed the two aside and said with a smile:
"Have you forgotten who pays for your food, drink, and monthly allowance? Do you recognize who your masters are?"
The servants looked at each other in bewilderment, only then realizing that the entire Han family was being supported by the young mistress.
Qi An and Ata had long wanted to complain about Song Xinlan; whoever pays the bills is the boss.
She's a typical rich kid, yet she spends money to suffer; she's a complete traitor.
Ata sighed, "What does this mean? Getting close to men leads to unhappiness."
Han's mother, losing face, burst into a tirade:
"You're talking nonsense. You've slept with my son and entered the Han family. Your money naturally belongs to our family."
Qi An sneered, "What a shameless old scoundrel."
At this moment, a middle-aged man with a lewd face walked in from outside the courtyard, shouting as he went:
"You bunch of lackeys, do you dare disobey the old lady's words? The young mistress is disrespectful to her elders, why don't you take her down?"
Han's mother gave the housekeeper a wronged look, which, combined with her dignified demeanor, was simply an eyesore.
Qi An looked at the Han family steward, who was dressed even more extravagantly than the master of the house, and his face turned completely cold.
That bastard has been having an affair with Han's mother and has been constantly instigating her to ask Song Xinlan for money.
He swallowed countless amounts of her money, most of which ended up in his own pocket.
He actually loathed Han's mother. He only flattered her for money and power, while in reality he spent the money she gave him to indulge in debauchery and frequent brothels.
If that were all, he would have been even more lusting after the beautiful Green Pearl.
After Song Xinlan was locked in the woodshed, Lüzhu wanted to return to the Song mansion for help, but was caught by the steward who had been watching her and was raped to death.
While the servants were still hesitating, the four old women serving Han's mother made their move.
They were used to seeing Han's mother tormenting Song Xinlan, and they didn't take her seriously at all.
Adding to the fact that Qi An had just hit them, they harbored resentment and wanted both the reward money and the opportunity to take revenge.
They stretched out their arms and lunged at Qi An menacingly.
Green Pearl and Red Bean tried to block her way, but Qi An pushed them behind her and grabbed the old woman running in front by the throat.
She smiled cruelly, her fingers shifted, and with a snap, she broke her neck.
The old woman died with her mouth agape and her eyes wide open, the fierce expression still etched on her face, but her eyes were filled with terror.
The two old women who followed behind couldn't see her expression; they were still regretting that they had run too slowly and had their credit stolen.
Qi released his grip, and the old woman collapsed to the ground, her neck limp, blood spilling from her mouth.
Everyone was shocked. Only then did the two old women see what was happening, but they had rushed too fast to stop.
Qi An grabbed their hair buns at the back of their heads with one hand each and slammed his hands together.
With a loud "bang," their two heads collided violently, like two ripe watermelons.
Blood mixed with brain matter burst open, instantly turning into two rotten watermelons with juice spilling out.
The last old woman saw everything clearly, but she had already rushed in front of Qi An.
Looking at the woman with blood on her face, she felt as if she were seeing a demon, and her legs went weak and she couldn't move.
Qi An threw down the two corpses in his hands, smiled slightly at her, and the old woman rolled her eyes and fainted from fright.
Qi An stepped on her chest and, with a forceful movement, sent her to her death.
Qi An hadn't forgotten that it was these four old dogs who beat Hongdou to death.
The courtyard fell silent instantly, then someone reacted and started screaming, but Qi An silenced them with a single glance.
Han's mother watched as Qi An killed the four old women who served her with his bare hands. Her obese body trembled with fear, and she quietly hid behind the steward.
She was extremely flustered and dared not make a sound, afraid of being noticed by that killing god.
She couldn't understand it. Wasn't this woman always weak, sickly, timid, and obedient?
She would faint if she was forced to kneel in the ancestral hall for too long as punishment, and she was always on medication.
Why is she acting like a completely different person today? No, not like a human, more like a demon.
The butler was also somewhat frightened, but he still forced a stern expression and said:
“Young Madam, the Old Madam is your elder, and it is only natural for her to admonish you. How could you kill her people?”
Once this gets out, you'll be forever branded as disobedient and unfilial, you..."
Before he could finish speaking, Qi An flashed over and kicked him so hard that he coughed up blood and collapsed to the ground, curled up like a shrimp.
Qi An stepped on his chest and said coldly, "It's just a dog. Who gave you the guts to lecture your master?"
"Since you don't understand your place, let me tell you. A dog that dares to bite its owner will become a dead dog."
