Chapter 389: The First Lady is Heartbroken
Lord Zhuang looked grim and his brows twitched fiercely.
He gave Su Tan a flattering smile and said, "My daughter's situation is a bit complicated. Can't you be lenient and make some concessions?"
"This girl is very angry. She jumped into the river by herself. We can't let her whole family be implicated."
Lord Zhuang thought he had hinted very clearly that he wanted to kill Zhuang Hui within these seven days, to make sure she would never survive.
After all, he didn't want to clean up the mess for that dead girl Zhuang Hui.
It would be great if this dead girl died cleanly, so that they wouldn't have to cause any more trouble for the Zhuang family.
If I were to come back to life, there would be countless troubles.
As a world-famous master of mysticism, Su Tan could even deal with the water ghost. How could he not be able to deal with a mere evil ghost?
As long as they offer enough money, how can Su Tan refuse to accept it?
Besides, Su Tan and Zhuang Hui had no special relationship and they didn’t know each other before.
Since she didn't know them, she naturally didn't need to put any emotions into doing these things. She just took the money and did the job.
But Su Tan seemed to lack a bit of wisdom, as if he didn't understand his hints at all.
She turned her head and looked at Father Zhuang in confusion, "Master Zhuang, I've made it very clear just now. The cause and effect have not yet been resolved, and we must not interfere."
"Since Master Zhuang loves his daughter so much, he should just have someone guard her body and keep others away. That way, the so-called evil spirit won't harm anyone."
"Could it be that there is no one in the entire manor who can keep vigil?"
"The Zhuang family is a wealthy family, so please don't joke around, Mr. Zhuang."
Indeed, there are many people getting married in the entire manor, but what's the difficulty in sending one or two to guard the corpse?
To say that all the servants are busy is a lie with open eyes. If it gets out, everyone will spit at them.
But Lord Zhuang and Old Madam Zhuang just want Zhuang Hui to die!
Lord Zhuang was so angry at Su Tan's stubborn attitude that he almost had a heart attack.
Su Tan, however, seemed completely oblivious to his expression. At this moment, he fixed his gaze on him and gently reminded him, "By the way, Master Zhuang, from the look on Miss Zhuang's face, she must have suffered a great deal of injustice in her lifetime."
"During this time, you must inform your family and friends and tell them not to go out at night. Although, as long as the body is not damaged, Miss Zhuang will not take action against you."
"But Miss Zhuang held too much resentment in her life. She has already gone to look for those who harmed her. Just in case, she has also asked all relatives and friends of the Zhuang family not to go out."
Zhuang's father's brows jumped violently.
He couldn't help but stutter for a moment, "Miss Su, what do you mean?"
"Could it be...could it be that my daughter has turned into a ghost? Although I didn't harm her, I was truly heartbroken for her before, and in a fit of rage, I even said I wanted to execute her. Even though it was out of spite, this child is a person who takes things too seriously..."
What he meant was that Lord Zhuang knew that Zhuang Hui was filled with resentment when she died, and that he was one of the culprits who caused Zhuang Hui to be so resentful.
But he absolutely could not admit at the moment that he was the one who wanted to kill his own daughter because of some rumors, so he could only try his best to make amends for himself.
A smile appeared on Su Tan's face.
"Master Zhuang, don't worry. Miss Zhuang now knows the difference between right and wrong, and knows who her relatives are and who her enemies are."
"No matter what, Miss Zhuang will not come to you, let alone the old lady."
"She will only tear those who hurt her into pieces."
Su Tan seemed to intentionally or unintentionally emphasize the words "torn into pieces".
Old Madam Zhuang and Lord Zhuang shuddered violently.
Although they had confirmed from Su Tan that Zhuang Hui would never attack them after her death, they still felt terrified when they learned that Zhuang Hui would be so cruel after becoming a ghost.
Lord Zhuang didn't dare to be negligent, so he immediately sent someone to inform all his relatives and friends of the news.
Before he went to inform his relatives and friends, Su Tan even suggested to him, "I see that the Zhuang Mansion is a large family with a lot of guest rooms in the courtyard. Naturally, it can accommodate those relatives and friends close to you."
A smile appeared on Su Tan's face.
"Until the cause and effect are resolved, I cannot interfere too much, but I can at least ensure your lives are safe."
"If Master Zhuang believes what I say, just go ahead and pass on the message as I say."
Father Zhuang nodded repeatedly and showed a grateful look to Su Tan.
How could he not trust Su Tan? Of all the mystical masters, he trusted Su Tan the most. Even Master Ye beside Emperor Qinglong could not compare to him.
But when the news reached the ears of the eldest lady.
The eldest lady stood up suddenly and tore the Buddhist beads in her hand apart.
"What did you say!"
His face was filled with shock, his throat was a little hoarse, and his eyes were red.
"How could Zhuang Hui die?"
"He was a healthy kid. Didn't he say he wanted to go out and relax today? How could he suddenly die? What are you servants doing?"
The eldest lady couldn't accept it.
She certainly did not dote on or indulge Zhuang Hui, but Zhuang Hui was still the child who grew up under her lap.
Now a healthy child is gone just like that, don’t these people intend to give her an explanation?
The servants were trembling, not daring to endure her anger at the moment.
There was still a maidservant, her voice choked with sobs, saying, "It's not that we servants don't want to return the cakes, nor is it that we servants don't bother to find the Second Young Lady. She is determined to commit suicide. What can we servants do?"
"Besides, the master and the old lady insisted on keeping it a secret from you. It has been several hours since the incident happened. We, the servants, want to tell you so much, but we dare not."
