It turned out that she was not completely destroyed in the formation just now, but secretly hid her soul, and took advantage of Xue Huan's weakness to counterattack before her death!
As soon as she rushed into Xue Huan's body, the female ghost began to snatch her body.
Xue Huan naturally wouldn't let the female ghost succeed. Before, the old Taoist wanted to take over her body, and now the female ghost wanted to occupy her body. Why did they think she was easy to bully?
To be honest, compared to confronting the female ghost head-on, Xue Huan has nothing to fear from the female ghost trying to steal her body. After all, this body is her home. How could the female ghost possibly snatch it from her?
But at this moment, footsteps were heard. Someone had actually entered the forest? Who could it be?
Xue Huan couldn't help but be distracted, which gave the female ghost an opportunity to take advantage of.
In an instant, she felt a cold black mist seeping into her mind.
Xue Huan didn't care about the people outside and focused on dealing with the female ghost.
"Miss Zhao?" A familiar voice sounded. It was the Young Master Nan Tang whom I met at the Ye family's flower viewing banquet that day!
Xue Huan subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. For some reason, although she had only met this young master of Southern Tang once, she had a natural trust in him and believed that he would not do anything bad to her.
Xue Huan focused on dealing with the female ghost that had invaded her sea of consciousness and no longer paid attention to the situation outside.
With the previous experience of dealing with the old Taoist priest, this time, Xue Huan trapped the female ghost in her sea of consciousness without much effort. She used her spiritual consciousness as a rope to tie up the female ghost, trying to take her out of her sea of consciousness.
The reason why she devoured the Taoist's soul last time was because the Taoist wanted to devour her, and his soul was actually not much weaker than hers, and was even more brutal and aggressive. In this evenly matched situation, Xue Huan could only fight back with all her might.
Want to devour my soul? Humph, then I'll devour you first!
But the current situation is that the ghost girl's soul is already very weak. Her previous actions were just a desperate counterattack, a desperate gamble, so she was able to suppress it in all directions.
In this case, she naturally would not use the method of devouring to deal with her, and she had no hobby of devouring other people's souls.
However, just as she was dragging the female ghost out, a large wave of memories suddenly came from the ghost's soul.
After Xue Huan received it, her original dislike for the female ghost instantly dissipated a lot.
The female ghost is named Zheng Yunu. She was born in the Zheng family, a famous jade family in Yujing City. The Zheng family is known as the number one jade family and is extremely wealthy. Jade, which needs to be treated with caution in other people's homes, can be found everywhere in the Zheng family. Even Zheng Yunu's brother plays with jade beads as marbles.
As a late-born daughter, Zheng Yunu was doted on from the moment she was born. Unfortunately, perhaps because her mother was already quite old when she conceived her, she had a difficult birth. Zheng Yunu was held in the womb for too long, and was born with some deficiencies.
When she was still in her infancy, she would get sick every three days or more. She would take medicine from the moment she could drink milk. Zheng's parents were always worried that they would not be able to take care of her. They were so worried about their frail daughter.
Fortunately, she grew up gradually, but her body was still weak, and because she took medicine all year round, there was always a lingering smell of medicine in the house.
Although she was weak and needed precious medicinal herbs to nourish her all year round, the Zheng family was wealthy, so raising a daughter was nothing. In fact, because she was weak and a daughter born in old age, Zheng's father and mother loved her very much. They held her in their mouths for fear that she would melt, and held her in their hands for fear that she would fall, and doted on her to the utmost.
He treated her much better than her brother.
But Brother Zheng is not jealous, because he himself likes this sister very much and is a real sister-con.
It can be said that Zheng Yunu truly grew up in a honey pot. Apart from her poor health, nothing else went wrong.
But she did not develop a spoiled personality, instead she was very gentle and kind.
When she reached the age of marriage, Zheng's father and mother took their daughter's physical condition into consideration and feared that she would be wronged if she married into her husband's family, so they thought of finding a husband for her.
It's just that in this era, live-in sons-in-law have always been looked down upon. Unless they really can't make a living, who would want to be a live-in son-in-law?
However, those who were willing to be sons-in-law did not meet the requirements of Zheng's father and mother at all. They felt that those men were not worthy of their precious daughter.
In the end, there was no choice but to marry off his daughter.
As long as I give her a generous dowry, prepare a thick trousseau, select a few capable men for her, and have her taken care of by the two of us, she should be able to live a comfortable life.
Thinking this, Zheng's father and mother went to prepare the dowry. The final dowry list was really jaw-dropping. Almost half of the Zheng family was gone.
But Brother Zheng had no objection.
The Zheng family all felt that no matter how much dowry they gave their daughter (sister), it would not be too much. Unfortunately, Zheng's eldest brother's wife, Luo, did not think so.
Her husband is the heir to the Zheng family, and the Zheng family property should belong to him and her son in the future. Why should it all be given as a dowry to her sister-in-law?!
Originally, Mrs. Luo felt uncomfortable seeing how much her husband and parents-in-law doted on her sister-in-law, but she thought that her sister-in-law would get married anyway, and would become a member of her husband's family and would not be able to come back many times a year, so she reluctantly suppressed her dissatisfaction.
He even deliberately acted affectionate towards his sister-in-law.
So much so that the Zheng family thought she was so tolerant.
After seeing the dowry list, Mrs. Luo couldn't hold back any longer.
If Zheng Yunu really allowed to take away all the things on the list, how much would she, a proper young lady, get?
But after playing the role of a good daughter-in-law and sister-in-law in the Zheng family for several years, Luo Shi couldn't show it directly. After thinking about it, she came up with a sinister plan - find someone to seduce her sister-in-law and elope with her!
In this way, Zheng Yunu will not be able to marry, and all the Zheng family property will fall on her son. Isn't her son's property hers?
Because her health had always been poor, Zheng Yunu seldom went out. Even when she did, she was surrounded by a large group of maids and servants.
It was precisely because of this that Zheng Yunu had not experienced much of the dangers of the world and was raised to be naive and ignorant of the ways of the world. She was easily fooled by others.
Once when they were out, the horse pulling the cart suddenly went crazy for some unknown reason, and Zheng Yunu was almost thrown out of the cart.
At this moment, a handsome and elegant young man fell from the sky and rescued her.
As a beauty rescued by a hero, Zheng Yunu couldn't help but feel a liking for this young man. However, what she didn't know was that the danger she encountered this time and the young man who saved her were actually all carefully arranged by Luo Shi.
Upon learning that her benefactor's name was Deng Lei, Zheng Yunu, in gratitude for saving her life, invited him to dinner at the city's largest restaurant. During the meal, Zheng Yunu learned that Deng Lei was the son of a prominent family in the imperial capital, and had come to Yujing to select a gift for his grandmother's upcoming birthday.
According to him, the old man likes jade, and Yujing City is a famous jade city.
Zheng Yunu couldn't help but feel that this Master Deng was truly a truly filial person, and her liking for him grew greatly.
After that, the two of them didn't have many opportunities to meet. After all, Zheng Yunu needed to rest all year round and couldn't go out often. But although she couldn't go out, she could still send letters.
A woman who is in love is always impulsive and will do some extraordinary things that she would never do under normal circumstances.
Not long after, the correspondence between the two was "accidentally" discovered by someone, and that person was Luo.
