Chapter 412: Going up the mountain
Su Tan and Gu Mingzhu went to the river together to release river lanterns and burn paper ingots.
Then they went to pay their respects to their parents and brother.
They also brought enough guards with them when they went up the mountain.
When going down the mountain, Su Tan asked Gu Mingzhu and Hong Ge'er to go back first, saying that the mountain was full of spiritual energy and suitable for her to practice.
She will be home later.
Gu Mingzhu had no doubts about it. After all, Su Tan had been practicing there with all his might these days.
Su Tan said that this would help her accumulate more merits. Although she didn't know what the merits were for, Gu Mingzhu respected everything about her sister and had a sense of boundaries when interacting with her. She would not ask things that she shouldn't ask.
Gu Mingzhu and others went down the mountain.
Su Tan, holding a sword, walked deep into the forest.
Her brow furrowed slightly.
She didn't know if it was her own illusion, but she seemed to see that there seemed to be some restrictions in the mountain.
She sent Gu Mingzhu and the others away just to find out what was going on. As a result, she actually saw some clues.
It wasn't that she was seeing things, someone had indeed placed such a ban in the mountains.
Su Tan didn't know the whole story, so he didn't try to clear away the restriction.
I was just walking forward, but I didn't expect to hear an unexpected sound here.
"Su Tan!"
"Little one's mother!"
Su Tan paused, raised his eyes forward, and saw the little nightmare ghost that he had not been able to contact for many days.
"Why are you here?"
Su Tan looked surprised.
She could tell at a glance that the little nightmare ghost was trapped in the mirror and couldn't escape.
But Su Tan didn't understand what was going on in the mind of his subordinate who was standing still. Logically speaking, the little nightmare ghost shouldn't be here.
The little nightmare ghost hung his head and sighed heavily.
"It's a long story, but to cut to the chase, as soon as I arrived in Beijing, I met a madman who captured me and trapped me in this hellish place."
"I don't know what that damn bald donkey is planning. Your ex-husband came a few days ago. Judging from his subsequent behavior, he should have killed your husband Qian at that time."
"But he didn't do that. Instead, he said a lot of nonsense. I don't understand what he wants to do."
The little nightmare ghost sighed solemnly and told Wen Li everything that had happened in the past few days.
This includes the fact that Song Tingchen suddenly learned of Changle's existence.
Su Tan's pupils constricted.
"When did Song Tingchen find out about Changle? How much did you tell him?"
A feeling of being offended washed over her.
Su Tan frowned tightly.
"I didn't tell him that. To be precise, it was that bald donkey who kept using the word 'Changle' to provoke him."
The Nightmare Ghost said this with a shameful expression on his face.
I actually didn't want to say it, but I couldn't resist the threat of that bastard. He said that if I didn't tell Song Tingchen the truth, he would find a way to kill me and make me disappear into ashes.
The little nightmare ghost's tone was a little aggrieved, "I just want to live well, I don't want to die at all."
"I'm sorry. I know you must be unhappy. After all, this is a secret in your heart. No matter what, that bastard Song Tingchen is not qualified to be Changle's father, let alone know about Changle's existence."
But what could he do when threatened by such an extreme person? He could either tell the truth or be a normal person. No, even a normal person would know which one to choose.
Even after revealing this secret, Little Nightmare Ghost still felt guilty.
"I'm sorry. If you're angry, you can hit me or scold me."
"Or we can find a way to feed Song Tingchen an amnesia drug. Anyway, that person is crazy and paranoid. When he threatened me to do something, he didn't say I could fake my death and get away with it. He just gave me a task to..."
Su Tan slowly exhaled a breath of foul air.
She looked at the little nightmare ghost with some complicated feelings.
This little nightmare ghost looks about the same age as Sui Sui, but in fact he has lived for hundreds of years.
She shook her head.
"I'm not blaming you."
"I just didn't expect it. No wonder Song Tingchen suddenly came over that day and said he had something important to ask me."
But she was very busy that day and had to go to the East Palace.
In addition, the prince died later.
Su Tan was also anxious to find Changle's remaining soul, and had a lot more things to do.
Even though Song Tingchen tried again and again to get someone to contact her and tried to break into the Su family.
She didn't have time to deal with him, and sometimes she even ordered people to beat Song Tingchen up and throw him out.
At that time, he didn't know what Song Tingchen was going to do. He thought that he was going to force her to be Su Tan again, who worked hard for the Song family and never cared about the money she had.
Or maybe he wanted to trap Song Xiao in that cruel place again, using the excuse that she couldn't have her mother to take care of her.
After all, Su Tan had imagined many possibilities at that time, but he had never thought that maybe Song Tingchen knew about Changle's existence, so he wanted to see him again and again just to confirm with her.
Su Tan was both amused and confused.
What would happen even if Song Tingchen knew about Changle's existence?
Even if I knew what he did in his previous life and how disgusting he was, what could I do?
Su Tan looked at him sarcastically, with a slight smile appearing at the corners of his lips.
"Song Tingchen might be a master of acting. He always wants to act regretful in front of me, as if this can offset the sins he has committed."
Or maybe Song Tingchen doesn't regret it at all.
After all, he didn't seem to care much about his daughter Changle in his previous life.
Song Tingchen always criticized other families for not treating their daughters as human beings, but he himself was not much better than others.
Su Tan shook his head.
Her voice was cold. "You haven't told me yet, who is that lunatic you're talking about? You went to such great lengths to kidnap Song Tingchen just to tell him why I refuse to forgive him?"
"Is it because you want Song Tingchen to feel guilty and ashamed to see me from now on?"
