Yang Fengqin slowly approached the bedside, her lips pressed together in a sinister smile.
"Chen Xin'e, you killed me and now you want to harm my daughter! I'll haunt you even as a ghost! I'll haunt you every day and make you go to hell with me!"
"I...I'm not afraid of you. Even if you die, you're no match for me. Get out of my way..." Chen Xin'e frantically grabbed a pillow and threw it at "Yang Fengqin".
But after the pillow was thrown out, it was blown away by a mysterious force and couldn't get close to Yang Fengqin at all.
Seeing this, Chen Xin'e became even more certain that Yang Fengqin had transformed into a vengeful ghost to settle scores with her.
"Yang Fengqin, you died by my hand back then. Even if you become a vengeful ghost, you still can't defeat me. I'll fight you to the death!" Chen Xin'e opened her arms and pounced on "Yang Fengqin".
Yang Fengqin chuckled coldly, grabbed Chen Xin'e by the neck with one hand, and flung her several meters away onto the ground.
Chen Xin'e was in excruciating pain from the fall. She got up from the ground and watched as the ghost of "Yang Fengqin" floated towards her.
At this moment, Chen Xin'e was finally brought to her senses by the fall, and she wanted to shout for help.
But Yang Fengqin had already seen through her thoughts; with just a cold look, her voice completely disappeared.
At that moment, she realized that she was no match for the vengeful ghost Yang Fengqin.
"Chen Xin'e, give me back my life!" "Yang Fengqin" stretched out a pair of sharp claws and floated towards Chen Xin'e.
Chen Xin'e started sobbing and crawling towards the door, while Yang Fengqin floated in mid-air and kept circling around her.
Terrification had reached its peak, and Chen Xin'e felt utterly hopeless.
His eyes rolled back, and he completely lost consciousness.

Early the next morning
Bai Qianmo was fast asleep when Xiao Huan rushed in.
"Miss...Miss, our door is open!"
Bai Qianmo frowned, her brows furrowing into a deep frown: "Don't make a sound, I'm going to sleep a little longer."
Last night, I dealt with the servants for the first half of the night, and then dressed up as a ghost to scare Chen Xin'e for the second half, so she could finally get some sleep.
Xiao Huan sat excitedly on the edge of the bed, chattering away.
"Miss, don't sleep. I have good news for you. Madam had a ghost sighting last night and seemed quite frightened. She called Dr. Xing over before dawn and I heard she's still lying in bed, feeling unwell and unable to get up."
"I don't know if the madam has had a change of heart, but the guards on our side were removed early this morning, and the gate was opened. I just went out for a stroll, and no one stopped me. It seems that the restrictions have really been lifted."
Xiao Huan kept muttering to herself, and Bai Qianmo gradually lost her sleepiness.
He opened his sleepy eyes and asked, "What time is it?"
"It's Chen Shi (7-9 AM). Usually you would have gotten up by now and gone to your study to read and practice calligraphy."
Bai Qianmo stretched. If she couldn't sleep well, then it was more important to go out and find a way to earn some money.
Having arrived in this time and space, she has to start all over again. Since there's no way to go back for the time being, she might as well focus on building her business and make a fortune here.
Bai Qianmo got up, and Xiao Huan immediately handed her the clothes she had prepared.
"Miss, please wash up first. I'll go to the kitchen to see if there's anything to eat."
"No need, let's eat out."
"Go out to eat? But we're out of money. The only travel money we brought from the countryside was given to Xiao Cui. We used it all up when she secretly brought us food a while ago."
Bai Qianmo smiled and said, "Money is everywhere."
Xiao Huan was taken aback: "Miss, don't talk nonsense. How can money be everywhere?"
Money is everywhere, but most people don't see it.
Xiao Huan obediently looked around the room carefully and said, "I can't see a single copper coin."
Bai Qianmo finished dressing and flicked Xiao Huan's forehead.
"Don't use your eyes, use your heart to see."
Xiao Huan scratched her head, looking confused, and looked intently.
"Miss, why are you looking so carefully?"
Bai Qianmo ignored her, seemed to be in a good mood, walked out of the courtyard, fetched water to wash up.
Xiao Huan braided her hair into two pigtails, giving her a classic Republic of China-era girl look.
Once everything was ready, he took Xiao Huan out.
Unexpectedly, just as they arrived at the main gate, Xu Jinwei, accompanied by her maid, also walked towards the gate from a short distance away.
Upon seeing Bai Qianmo, Xu Jinwei's eyelids immediately drooped, and she glared at her with a displeased expression.
Bai Qianmo glanced calmly at Xu Jinwei, and roughly guessed that Chen Xin'e must have instilled some unfavorable words in Xu Jinwei yesterday.
"Xu Jin'en, you've just been released and you're already going out? What are you going to do?"
"Second sister, I've been kept under control for half a month. If I don't go out for a walk, I'll get moldy all over. By the way, where are you going?"
The maid Bi'er behind her said, "My young lady is going to Phoenix Pavilion to go boating on the lake with some other young ladies."
"Bi'er, why are you talking so much nonsense? Did I give you permission to speak?"
"This servant will not dare to speak carelessly from now on."
Bai Qianmo chuckled inwardly.
"Second sister, have fun. I won't bother you any longer. Xiao Huan, let's go."
"etc!"
"Is there anything else, Second Sister?" Bai Qianmo asked, looking at her with a puzzled expression.
Unable to contain her curiosity, Xu Jinwei asked, "Where are you going?"
"Oh, I just want to take a stroll around the streets. I just arrived in Shanghai, and I've heard there are lots of delicious foods here, so I want to try them out."
"If you want to eat something delicious, then go to Fengqilou. Fengqilou is the most famous place in Shanghai."
"Isn't it inconvenient? Didn't Second Sister make plans with a friend?"
"It's alright, they're all daughters of families with long-standing friendships, so I'll introduce them to you as well."
A thought flashed through Bai Qianmo's mind.
Unsolicited kindness is either a sign of malice or theft.
"The car is right outside, let's go."
Xu Jinwei grabbed Bai Qianmo's sleeve, not giving her a chance to refuse, and led her directly to the front door.
Helpless, Bai Qianmo could only get into the car with Xu Jinwei, and wait until they arrived at Fengqi Tower before trying to slip away.
The car drove along the wide streets of Shanghai. People coming and going on both sides of the road were dressed in clothing from the Republican era. The women of Shanghai were graceful and charming, wearing cheongsams, carrying sachets, and wearing four- or five-inch high heels, swaying gracefully and forming a beautiful scene.
After about half an hour's drive, the car stopped outside the Phoenix Pavilion.
According to Xu Jinwei, Fengqilou is one of the top restaurants in Shanghai, and it is said that the owner behind it is the Axe Gang, so no one dares to mess with it.
The Axe Gang is the largest gang in Shanghai, with numerous members under its command. They are arrogant, domineering, and commit all sorts of evil deeds throughout the city.
The country is currently in an unstable situation, with warlords vying for power, organized crime rampant, and people vying for control of each other.
Therefore, in Shanghai, black is white and white is black.
The common people with flat heads were timid and made a living by avoiding warlords and gangsters, and their lives were relatively peaceful.
But once you provoke these two forces, the nightmare begins.
