"Elope?" He Yuling was shocked; she had never even considered such a thing.
"At that time, my family searched everywhere, but we couldn't find her anywhere. My cousin and her family had gone to the provincial capital, where they even settled down and had a big, healthy baby boy."
He Yuling looked on with longing, but quickly pressed for an answer: "And then what happened?"
"Later, since the deed was done, her family couldn't say anything. Seeing her cousin bring the child home, they accepted it and even funded the scholar to open a school in the provincial capital. It can be said that the lovers finally got together."
He Yuling asked thoughtfully, "Aren't you angry?"
"Why would I be angry? She's my cousin, not my wife!"
"No, I mean, about me and...He Chusheng, you..."
Fang Zhiyi waved her hand: "Hey, I should have told you a long time ago that we didn't have any emotional foundation to begin with. Love is something that needs to happen naturally, right?"
At this moment, He Yuling was completely captivated by Fang Zhiyi's words.
“I think that free love is good, absolutely no problem, but your father may be more traditional, so I thought I wanted to tell you that I completely understand and support you. You are a modern woman and you should pursue freedom.”
He Yuling looked the down-and-out man up and down, and nodded after a moment: "I didn't expect that although you're simple-minded, you're actually quite nice."
Fang Zhiyi stood up at the right time: "I won't bother you anymore, lest people gossip if I stay here too long." He took a few steps, "By the way, I heard someone say that he seemed to have seen Brother Chu Sheng in the provincial capital."
"I wonder how he's doing...sigh..."
Fang Zhiyi left, leaving He Yuling staring longingly at his departing figure.
The story Fang Zhiyi told lingered in her mind, and the word "elopement" kept popping up in her head.
This sentence seemed to open a new door for He Yuling.
Fang Zhiyi then turned around and went to find Old Master He. Putting everything else aside, this old man was indeed very concerned about Fang Zhiyi, and didn't even care about the profit or loss of the two shops.
"A Buddhist shrine? There is one, but it hasn't been cleaned for a long time since the old lady passed away. Why are you suddenly asking about this, my dear nephew?" Old Master He asked, somewhat puzzled.
"I've been studying Buddhist scriptures lately, haha, just wanting to think about it."
"Okay, I'll have the butler take you there."
Fang Zhiyi entered the Buddhist hall in the backyard as she wished. It was covered with a layer of dust, and it was obvious that no one had been there.
The housekeeper said something to Fang Zhiyi, then turned around and went to attend to his own business.
As soon as the housekeeper left, Fang Zhiyi turned around, her tone full of impatience: "Have you cried enough? Crying and crying, it's so annoying!"
It was a dry well located by the backyard wall. A woman in white, with her hair disheveled, sat by the well, covering her face and weeping. She was startled by Fang Zhiyi's words and turned to look at Fang Zhiyi after a moment.
His face was unusually pale, as if it had been soaked in water, and his eyes had long since lost their pupils. At this moment, Fang Zhiyi also grimaced.
This is definitely a bit too much.
"Waaaaah..." The ghost slowly got up and then moved closer to Fang Zhiyi.
Xiao Hei covered his eyes: "Big brother, why did you provoke her? Even an idiot like the original owner would pretend not to see! Are you crazy?"
Unexpectedly, Fang Zhiyi suddenly turned around and rushed into the Buddhist hall. His sudden action did not stop the female ghost. The female ghost continued to float towards this side while crying until Fang Zhiyi rushed out of the Buddhist hall, holding a Buddha statue in his arms.
