Even now, Yin Liu still feels a lingering fear when he thinks about that bride ghost.
If Sheng Moshi hadn't appeared in time and killed the ghost with the Buddhist beads, he probably wouldn't have escaped his fate today!
At that moment, the demon discovered him.
Now, just thinking about the icy gaze that Ghost Fiend had given him sent a chill down his spine...
"The Bride Ghost? I've heard of it; it's said to be one of the most powerful types of vengeful ghosts."
The conditions for its formation are extremely demanding.
The requirement is that a bride dies with resentment on her wedding night, and the ghost herself must be extremely vengeful, plus someone deliberately traps the deceased's soul.
"The spirit of the bride is fed with the souls of forty-nine women born on yin years, yin months, and yin days, allowing it to absorb the resentment of the dead and solidify into a physical form, thus becoming a ghost."
After pondering for a moment, Chu slowly spoke.
"Master is indeed knowledgeable and experienced. Indeed, the Bride Ghost Fiend is very difficult to refine. But once refined, it surpasses anything those lesser ghosts and demons can match! It's incredibly powerful!"
Yin Liu witnessed the Bride Ghost Demon using her red umbrella to collect the souls of the four guardians.
If Sheng Lingtian and Mu Rou'er hadn't arrived in time, that Ghostly Bride might have killed him on a whim!
Looking back now, he really did get a second chance at life tonight!
"Since the Bride Ghost Demon is so powerful, why couldn't she kill Mu Rou'er? Did something unexpected happen?"
Chu asked in confusion.
"Master, Mu Rou'er was about to die, but at the critical moment, Sheng Moshi took out a string of Buddhist prayer beads. As soon as the prayer beads were thrown onto the Bride Ghost, the Bride Ghost turned into smoke and disappeared..."
Yin Liu briefly recounted the situation at the time.
"Buddhist prayer beads?"
"No wonder! Alright, I understand, you can go now!"
Chu knew that the string of Buddhist beads was given to Sheng Moshi by Abbot Huiyuan of Huguo Temple a few years ago.
Rumor has it that the monk Huiyuan prophesied that Sheng Moshi was a phoenix star descended to earth, destined to be the empress of the Great Yan Kingdom.
She will lead the entire Great Yan Empire to prosperity!
But the Chu family did not believe such rumors at all.
If Sheng Moshi were truly a phoenix reincarnated, capable of leading the Great Yan Kingdom to new heights, the royal family would have already elevated her to the position of legitimate daughter.
After all, the royal family has to save face, and they absolutely cannot appoint a concubine's daughter as empress!
Since the royal family has not taken any action, it can only prove that the rumors are just rumors.
It's also possible that this rumor originated from Prince Rui's faction.
But none of that matters. What matters is that Mu Rou'er isn't dead. It seems she'll have to wait for another opportunity...
West Garden, Mu Rou'er's room.
Mu Rou'er was so frightened that she lay on the bed, still in a daze.
Sheng Moshi sat by the bedside, silently watching over her.
The room reeked of urine, making Sheng Moshi frown slightly...
If it weren't for the need to play the role of a filial daughter, she would have liked to stand up and leave immediately.
The mother of this body is really too useless; not to mention she was so scared she peed herself.
It's been so long, and I still haven't come to my senses.
At this moment, Sheng Lingtian walked in with a cold face.
Sheng Moshi quickly stood up and bowed:
"Father! Has the matter of the evil spirits been quelled?"
"Okay! Everything's alright outside! Go back to your room!" Sheng Lingtian looked at his daughter, on whom he had placed high hopes since birth, and his expression softened.
"Yes! Father, then I'll head back now! Father, Mother..." Sheng Moshi frowned as he looked at Mu Rou'er, who was lying on the bed in a daze, and hesitated to speak.
"Don't worry! I won't do anything to your mother because of her identity! What could I do to her? What would I dare to do to her?"
Sheng Lingtian seemed to have guessed Sheng Moshi's thoughts and said through gritted teeth.
"Well... I'll take my leave now!"
Sheng Moshi lowered his eyelids and curtsied to Sheng Lingtian.
"Let's go back!"
Sheng Lingtian waved his hand, signaling Sheng Moshi to leave quickly.
Sheng Moshi then leisurely left the room.
"Get up!" Sheng Lingtian said coldly after Sheng Moshi left.
Mu Rou'er's eyes flickered, but she didn't move!
"I told you to get up. Do you know how much the manor has lost today? You've caused such a huge mess. Do you think you can get away with pretending to be stupid and weak?"
Sheng Lingtian knew Mu Rou'er too well. How could a ruthless person be so frightened? She was just being cunning!
Sure enough, after Sheng Lingtian finished speaking, Mu Rou'er slowly sat up, large tears falling down her face.
"General! Rou'er wasn't pretending, Rou'er was really frightened!"
"That wasn't entirely my fault! I didn't poison that old Taoist priest!"
"Hmph! Whether you poisoned me or not, I don't want to pursue your responsibility any further! I'll just report the situation to you, and I'll ask you to inform Consort Jin!"
"In the past six months, Consort Jin has sent a total of sixty-nine servants and guards to the General's Mansion, and more than fifty of them died tonight! The maids and servants are basically all dead! If you still want to live such a comfortable life in the mansion, you should ask Consort Jin for people or money!"
Otherwise, you'll be left starving!
Sheng Lingtian said coldly.
"No! No! I can't tell her these things, she'll kill me! I won't say it!"
Mu Rou'er said with a look of fear, "General! We can go to Madam Chu. All the servants in the mansion are dead. As the mistress of the house, she should pay money to buy them back."
"General, let her provide the money, and we'll buy it. The person will be ours too! It'll be just as convenient to use!"
"Utterly foolish! Do you think Chu Lan would still pay up? Do you think she's as stupid as you? I told you long ago not to mess with Dongyuan! But you wouldn't listen! If it weren't for you, my Sheng family wouldn't be in such a miserable state!"
