Just as the hairpin in Fu Shanyue's hand was only half an inch away from her heart, Li Muge arrived in time and used magic to turn the hairpin in Fu Shanyue's hand into ashes.
"How could this have happened?" Fu Shanyue asked in disbelief, staring at her empty hands with astonishment.
"Miss Shanyue, you've sacrificed so much, you shouldn't do something foolish!" Li Muge truly didn't want Fu Shanyue to die.
Fate had already dealt this young girl far too many misfortunes, so she softened her tone: "Miss Shanyue, haven't you already taken your revenge? Now, what you should be doing most is living well, shouldn't you?"
"Hehe." Fu Shanyue turned around and saw that Li Muge knew magic, but she was not surprised. She had known it from the first moment Li Muge appeared beside her.
This man dressed as a woman is no ordinary person.
“Miss Li, you’ve made yourself clear. Look around here. This used to be my home, but…” Fu Shanyue stood up.
He laughed mournfully: "Haha, look at this place now, all that's left is cobwebs and dust, no one's here."
"There is only one person left in the Fu family. Death is just a relief for me. Living alone is too bitter."
"Shan Yue." You Zhengqing stood to the side, surprised to find that the ghost in the Fu residence had not left.
More than 20 years have passed.
Those ghostly servants who harbored little resentment have long since gone to the underworld for reincarnation.
The Fu family members who remained.
Hiding in the shadows, they become earthbound spirits, fearing the sunlight.
Fu Shanyue's parents, as well as her older brother and sister, looked at You Zhengqing's ghost with resentment in their eyes.
Their appearance immediately changed to how they looked before they died.
Li Muge was reborn from resentment, and the deeper the resentment, the less uncomfortable she felt.
Instead, it made her magic even stronger.
Li Muge assumed that after so many years of being a bound spirit, Fu Shanyue's family must have become vengeful ghosts.
Fu Shanyue's mother was a skilled and proper woman. There was a hole in her stomach from which pus and blood kept flowing out.
But when her resentful gaze met Fu Shanyue's, it transformed into an unshakeable worry.
Fu Shanyue's father had a bluish-purple ligature mark on his neck, indicating that he must have hanged himself.
She was probably strangled to death back then.
Fu Shanyue's brother and sister looked at her with concern, even considering trying to escape the dark place.
But they are ghosts.
Although no one was killed, the ghost's body would be burned as soon as the light touched its skin.
Fu Shanyue's older sister tried to rush out, but her brother pulled her back. Judging from his lip movements, he was probably scolding her.
They pleaded with Li Muge with their eyes.
Although they harbored deep resentment, they also understood the pain of being a ghost and being unable to contact people in the mortal world.
They can only live in darkness forever.
Besides, those who commit suicide will not be reincarnated.
“My poor child, Shan Yue, my daughter, your mother doesn’t want you to seek revenge. Why don’t you understand? Your mother just wants you to live a good life.”
Fu Shanyue's mother cried uncontrollably. Her worry for her daughter made her resentful and her appearance returned to what it was before she died.
Unfortunately, humans and ghosts are destined to be apart.
Fu Shanyue, heartbroken, couldn't hear her words.
As the words reached Li Muge's ears, she couldn't help but suddenly think of her mother.
She crouched down slightly, bringing her eyes to meet Fu Shanyue's: "Miss Shanyue, you treat your life so lightly, have you considered your family?"
"Perhaps in their hearts, revenge isn't that important; they just want you to live a good life."
"Hahaha." Fu Shanyue stood up sadly: "Live on? How can I live on? I am a courtesan. Who would even look at me properly?"
"You won't despise me. I'm alive and going to live because of revenge. Miss Li, I know you mean well, but I can't go on living."
“I remember you once told me that you had also suffered this kind of pain, so let go. I, Fu Shanyue, am just a very useless person.”
“A dead end is a way out for me.” Fu Shanyue said, her eyes hardening, as she slammed her forehead against a nearby pillar.
"Shanyue, no!" Fu Shanyue's mother's ghost pushed aside the family members who were blocking him and rushed out from the shadows.
You Zhengqing knelt on the ground.
A feeling of sadness and despair filled his heart. His beloved was about to die in front of him, but he could do nothing about it.
When Fu Shanyue's mother's ghost is exposed to sunlight, her entire body begins to burn.
At this critical moment, Li Muge sighed.
He used both hands to cast a spell, using spiritual power to protect Fu Shanyue and her mother.
There's no way to stop someone who wants to die.
To avoid trouble, Li Muge simply used magic to knock Fu Shanyue unconscious.
Fu Shanyue's mother's ghost was also unharmed.
You Zhengqing's ghost walked up to the Fu family members, said nothing, and knelt down in front of them.
The ghost of Fu Shanyue's brother had a ferocious appearance and punched You Zhengqing in the face.
You Zhengqing didn't dodge, numbly letting him hit him.
His gaze remained fixed on Fu Shanyue, who had already lost consciousness.
Li Muge shook her head. It was truly a pity about the infatuated men and women in this world.
“Lord You, I remember that before I died, you were just a guard under the Fifth Prince. I never imagined that you would rise all the way up to the position of Grand Tutor in the officialdom.”
Master Fu said in a deep voice, "Now that things have come to this, do you have any regrets?"
Ghosts can feel pain too, but You Zhengqing seemed numb, and Fu Shanyue was filled with despair.
