As soon as Lu Xu spoke, everyone in the ward, both human and ghost, turned to look at him. His eyes were red-rimmed, and his face was filled with a dazed expression after being deeply shocked.
He didn't have the courage to look at Fang Yunfei, and said in a hoarse voice with his head down, "My father told me that when he was ten years old, he saw my grandmother being beaten to death by my drunk grandfather."
"Grandpa didn't dare to make a fuss or tell anyone how Grandma died. He just said that she died of a sudden illness and buried her in a simple coffin."
Nan Yuanman nodded and pointed at Lu Weiguo, saying, "You can also see from his face that his marital palace is sunken. His grandmother is no longer alive."
Fang Yunfei stood there, stunned, for a long time.
Lu Weiguo never expected that his own grandson, Lu Xu, would expose his lie. He instantly lost his composure, his eyes blazing with fury as he roared at him, "You little bastard! Stop talking nonsense!"
"I didn't hit her at all! She lost her balance and hit her head on the stone vat, dying on her own!"
He finally found a wife to live with, how could he possibly hit her?
It's obvious that woman is ungrateful. She's already had children with him and has been with two other men, yet she still pretends to be a chaste and virtuous woman in front of him and refuses to be intimate with him.
He just wanted her to obey, so he used a little too much force. Who knew she would lose her balance, fall to the ground, and hit her head on the stone vat, dying instantly.
Lu Weiguo was filled with panic and fear, afraid that Fang Yunfei would tear him apart. He hurriedly said, "Yunfei, you have to believe me, I really didn't kill Yang Juan! I just... I just pushed her a little with a bit of force, she lost her balance! It really has nothing to do with me!"
Fang Yunfei's soul trembled violently, and the resentment on his body grew thicker, almost engulfing his entire soul. The hand gripping Lu Weiguo's neck tightened more and more: "You, how dare you! How dare you treat her like that!"
That was the person he had cherished for so many years. How dare he, how dare he bully her like this!
Lu Weiguo's eyes rolled back as he was being choked, his face flushed red, and his hands waved wildly in the air: "I, I didn't mean to, I, I know I was wrong, I was wrong, Yunfei, spare, spare my life."
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Nan Yuanman standing to the side, holding a copper coin sword, and reached out to her for help: "Master, help, help me!"
Nan Yuanman silently watched the scene before him, holding the copper coin sword and hesitantly standing still.
Grandpa once said that there is a cause-and-effect relationship between people.
Lu Weiguo killed Fang Yunfei and stole his wife as the cause; Fang Yunfei turned into a vengeful ghost to seek revenge.
Therefore, it is only natural for Fang Yunfei to seek revenge against Lu Weiguo.
Should she...stop Fang Yunfei from taking revenge?
Fang Yunfei's case is different from Huang Xueyan's case; it is far more egregious in nature.
Nan Yuanman couldn't even bring himself to tell Fang Yunfei to give up his revenge.
Buried alive...
Just looking at Fang Yunfei's memories, she felt that her uncle must have been in great pain when he was buried alive.
Seeing that Nan Yuanman made no move, Lu Weiguo's face was filled with despair.
Just as Fang Yunfei was about to lose control and strangle Lu Weiguo, Gou Dan, who had been silently observing, suddenly reached out and grabbed Fang Yunfei's wrist, saying in a deep voice, "Fang Yunfei, calm down."
Fang Yunfei broke down: "He killed me! He killed Xiao Juan too! How can I stay calm?!"
"You need to think this through. Once you kill him and your hands are stained with blood, you'll never be able to go to the underworld to see Yang Juan again."
“Moreover…” Gou Dan calmly looked at Lu Weiguo: “Sometimes, killing someone only makes them feel relieved, while letting them live and suffer is the greatest punishment.”
"He's getting old and doesn't have many years left to live. It's not worth wasting your next life on such a scoundrel, is it?"
Gou Dan softened his voice, comforting Fang Yunfei: "Don't you want to rekindle your relationship with Yang Juan? Don't you want to clear up the misunderstandings you had before she died?"
No one had ever reasoned with Fang Yunfei like this before. As he listened, his turbulent emotions gradually calmed down. He looked at Nan Yuanman with anticipation and asked cautiously, "Is what he said true?"
"If I don't kill him, will I ever see Xiaojuan again?"
"Yes." Nan Yuanman nodded his little head: "As long as that big sister hasn't reincarnated, you can see her in the underworld and reunite with her."
"Then I won't kill him! I want to go to see Xiaojuan with a clean conscience!" Fang Yunfei said, and with a whoosh, he released his hand from Lu Weiguo's neck. Lu Weiguo fell to the ground without any warning, and a crisp "crack" came from his tailbone.
Lu Weiguo screamed hoarsely, ignoring the pain in his neck from being choked, he looked at his toes in terror and cried out in a hoarse voice, "I...I can't move! I can't move!"
He has no feeling in his lower body!
Fang Yunfei, annoyed by his noise, threw a wisp of resentment into his mouth, then looked at Nan Yuanman with eager eyes, asking, "Um, can we set off now?"
"Xiao Juan went to the underworld several years ago. I'm afraid that if I go too late, she won't wait for me and won't recognize me anymore."
Looking at his expectant expression, Nan Yuanman felt a lump in her throat. She pursed her lips and rummaged through her handbag: "...Okay, wait a moment, I'll fix your appearance."
She searched for half a minute but couldn't find the soul-restoring talisman her grandfather had drawn before; he probably had used it all up.
Nan Yuanman pulled out a new, blank yellow talisman, and also took out a cinnabar pen, a box of specially made cinnabar, and a small bamboo tube of rootless water.
She poured the rootless water into the cinnabar, stirred it with a cinnabar brush, calmed her mind, and quickly drew a line on the talisman paper.
The moment the talisman was drawn, a golden light flashed across the thin yellow paper.
Nan Yuanman's originally rosy face turned a little pale. She put the things away and injected the talisman into Fang Yunfei's soul.
The resentment that had enveloped Fang Yunfei's soul gradually faded away, his eyes returned to their sockets, and the corroded parts on his face and body peeled off rapidly. Slowly, a young man with thick eyebrows, big eyes, a buzz cut, and wearing a gray cloth shirt appeared before her.
Fang Yunfei looked at his clean hands in surprise, then touched his face and found that all the scars he had felt before were gone.
He smiled innocently at Nan Yuanman: "Ni'er, thank you!"
Now that we're in the underworld, Xiao Juan will be able to recognize him at a glance.
The moment the resentment faded, the ancient Gate of Hell gradually appeared behind Fang Yunfei.
As he turned to enter the gates of hell, Fang Yunfei gave Lu Weiguo one last look of disgust as Lu Weiguo struggled and tried to make a sound: "Lu Weiguo, those who do many evil deeds will surely perish! I curse you to never have a peaceful old age, to suffer a fate worse than death, and to be reborn as livestock for all eternity! To be devoured by thousands, to have your marrow drained before you die!"
"!!!" Lu Weiguo's eyes were bloodshot as he stared at Fang Yunfei, wanting to curse him but unable to utter a word.
After venting his anger, Fang Yunfei straightened his clothes and strode into the gates of hell.
He's going to see his Xiao Juan.
