Chapter 31: The Truth
"If he truly wanted to protect you, there are a thousand ways he could have done it. But since Pei Qingyun already laid a hand on you, why do you still feel sorry for him and keep calling him Pei Lang?"
"Haven't you heard that in his eyes, you are just a fool who can manipulate you at will even if you die?"
There was a bit of complexity in Su Tan's eyes, with a faint sigh and a feeling of disappointment.
Pei Qingyun's question of whether he had a hard time was just like three years ago, when Song Tingchen wanted to marry Liu Qingyin as his co-wife, and he repeatedly told her, "I just want to give her a way out, and I won't let her surpass you anyway." Is Su Tan concerned about whether Liu Qingyin will surpass her?
When Song Tingchen ranked her and Liu Qingyin together, there was no need to maintain this relationship.
Cui Wan shook her head and looked at Lin Wanwan as if she was looking at the most foolish person in the world. "He treated the murderer of his father as his savior, and even removed the obstacles for him, and got rid of his unwanted wife and child."
"Pei Qingyun is afraid that he will never meet a chess piece dumber and easier to control than you in his lifetime."
Lin Wanwan was trembling all over, and the howling sound of wind and snow outside seemed to have become the wail she was making at this moment.
She never imagined that the truth could be so ugly and cruel.
She looked at Su Tan in confusion, then looked down at her long black nails. At this moment, she didn't know who to believe.
The Crown Princess felt disgusted when she saw Lin Wanwan like this.
Her face was still very pale, but she was too lazy to waste any more words with Lin Wanwan. "I will personally escort Pei Qingyun down there. Then you'll know if he was lying to you!"
Lin Wanwan gritted her teeth, her spirit body trembling, and her sharp and piercing cries almost broke through the sky, "No!"
"I don't believe it!"
"You must be lying to me!"
“It must be!”
Su Tan knew that any woman who was infatuated with the wrong person would never turn back until she hit the wall, and would never cry until she saw the coffin.
She sighed and handed Lin Wanwan a talisman. "Didn't Pei Qingyun bury your parents for you and even erect a tombstone for them?"
"If you break your parents' tombstone and dig three inches deeper, you will find the buried black stone statue."
"Put this talisman on the stone statue, and then you will understand everything."
Having said that, if Lin Wanwan continues to be stubborn and insists that Pei Qingyun is innocent, then everything she encounters can only be said to be her own fault.
Lin Wanwan subconsciously couldn't believe that Pei Qingyun, the man she loved, could be so unbearable.
She even became his thug, willingly letting him do whatever he told her to do.
But she was still inexplicably possessed and took the talisman from Su Tan's hand.
…
Lin Wanwan floated to the grave of her parents. Her level was above that of evil spirits, so it was effortless for her to smash the two tombstones.
But for some reason, her legs and feet felt weak. Ghosts were obviously not afraid of ice and snow, but she felt that the weather was too cold to be bearable.
As a result, she didn't even have the strength to break the monument.
The jackdaw was crawling on the branch, making a hoarse cry, its gray eyes staring straight at Lin Wanwan, and from time to time it made the sound of flapping its wings.
Lin Wanwan gritted her teeth, and finally closed her eyes and smashed the stone tablet in front of her.
Following Su Tan's instructions, they dug three inches deeper and indeed saw a pitch-black stone statue with eyes of a strange color.
Lin Wanwan's spirit body trembled violently.
She tremblingly put the talisman on it.
Her parents were buried together, and the two familiar and kind faces that she was so familiar with appeared before her.
Lin Wanwan's eyes became hot, but she just stood there blankly, not daring to get closer.
When the two elders of the Lin family saw Lin Wanwan, they were stunned for a moment and were a little afraid to recognize her. The two elders could not believe that their daughter actually - actually lost her life.
Mother Lin's voice trembled, "Wan... Wanwan, why... why are you also..."
She was a little unable to continue.
Lin Wanwan's knees softened and she knelt down in front of the two elders with a thud.
"Dad, Mom! I'm an unfilial daughter!"
Lin Wanwan's voice trembled. Now that things had come to this, what else was there for her to be unbelievable about?
It was all because she trusted the wrong person and entrusted her with the wrong things.
Cui Wan and Su Tan were right.
She is the number one fool in the world!
Lin Wanwan knelt on the ground, kept apologizing to her parents, and confessed all the stupid things she had done during this period.
Mother Lin held her in her arms. Normally, ghosts wouldn't cry, but Mother Lin was heartbroken and shed tears. "Wanwan, it's not your fault..."
"Silly child, stop crying."
Father Lin was also standing by, tears streaming down his face. He stretched out his wrinkled hands and tremblingly touched his daughter's face, "Wanwan, you've suffered..."
"Did it hurt?"
The poor child was strangled to death during childbirth by the person he loved and trusted the most.
Lin Wanwan stood there in a daze. She thought her parents would scold her and become hysterical.
But she never expected that her parents' first reaction would be to feel sorry for her.
It was clearly her who caused trouble for her parents, and it was clearly her who mistakenly regarded the enemy who killed her father and mother as the benefactor who saved her from danger.
But her parents feel sorry for her!
But he asked her if it hurt at that time.
Lin Wanwan burst into tears. At the same time, resentment overflowed from her body and hatred soared to the sky. The white snow all over the sky could not hide the anger in her heart.
Lin's father and mother touched her hair with heartache.
"Wanwan, people are treacherous, and we are just common people. How could you have known that Pei Qingyun was actually an evil ghost in human skin?"
Common people like them, who are powerless and unable to even tie a chicken, are nothing more than toys for entertainment in the eyes of the powerful, regardless of life or death.
Lin Wanwan's eyes were bloodshot, filled with hatred.
"Dad, Mom!"
"Pei Qingyun is not worthy of being a human being. He has harmed you, me, and the child in my belly. I will never let him go!"
Before, she loved Pei Qingyun and could do anything for him. She believed everything he said.
But now, her parents told her personally that Pei Qingyun was the enemy who killed her father and mother.
If she still refuses to change her ways, then Cui Wan's words will come true: there is something wrong with the Lin family's ancestral tomb, and they mistook a fart for smoke.
…
Pei family.
When the news of the Crown Princess's death in childbirth came, Pei Qingyun frowned, gently turned the jade ring in his hand, and a hint of melancholy flashed in his eyes.
He turned his head and his gaze fell on his confidant beside him, "What's going on? Why is there still no news from the East Palace after so long?"
It was obvious that they had already made two preparations to ensure that the Crown Princess could not give birth to this baby.
But even at this moment, he still didn't hear anything he wanted to hear.
The confidant was also having doubts in his heart. It really shouldn't have happened. He saw Lin Wanwan enter the Eastern Palace with his own eyes. By now, the Crown Princess and her son should have been killed.
Unless something unexpected happened, his heart skipped a beat and he couldn't help but look up at Pei Qingyun, "Master, could it be that the man surnamed Lin was killed by the mystic master?"
In front of Pei Qingyun, he never even called Lin Wanwan "girl", after all, she was once Pei Qingyun's roommate.
Pei Qingyun's brows knitted together, his fingers tapping lightly on the desk. "No, Lin Wanwan's grudge is not comparable to that of ordinary evil spirits. Zhao Linghui, as the Crown Princess's cousin, possessed countless amulets to ward off evil spirits, yet she died at the hands of Lin Wanwan?"
Even though he said that, he felt something was even more strange. A chill ran down his neck, and he shuddered. Why was it so cold out there? "Then... could it be that Lin Wanwan discovered something?"
He swallowed, "After all... Master, you... you know!"
He didn't dare to say it too clearly. After all, walls have ears. It wouldn't be a big deal if people heard it, but he was afraid that ghosts might hear it.
Pei Qingyun snorted twice in disdain.
"she?"
There was a hint of contempt in his eyes as he said nonchalantly, "Lin Wanwan is just an idiot. She was so hard to control when she was alive, and she's the same dead."
"Believe it or not, even if someone knew the truth and told her word for word, she wouldn't believe it."
Lin Wanwan is the tool he is most satisfied with and the one he uses most easily.
She was tamed by him like the most obedient dog. Few people could satisfy Pei Qingyun as much as she did.
The confidant was relieved to hear this. It turned out that Pei Qingyun was the better chess player.
"That's probably because the East Palace is heavily guarded. I think the young master will be able to hear good news soon."
Lin Wanwan was indeed a good dog raised by her master. She was loyal when she was alive, and even more loyal when she died.
