The Moon Goddess actually chose to forgive Wenwu Quan. I don't know what she was thinking. Did she lose her mind?
But now, the question isn't what Yue Niang is thinking, but why Lu Qingyan is here.
In Yue Niang's memory, there is no "afterward." In the story, several hundred years later, Yue Niang's soul will finally solidify and become a vengeful ghost dwelling in this small mansion, where she will unexpectedly fall in love with a servant named Chang'an.
Centuries later, all the original enemies were long dead, and even if they were reincarnated, they might not know who was who. Moreover, by that time, Yue Niang could hardly remember anything from the beginning.
How could she possibly remember revenge at that time? Not to mention, given her mindset, all she wanted was to protect those close to her; those grudges were secondary.
However, in Lu Qingyan's eyes, Yue Niang's mother was an incompetent mother. So what if the child didn't have a father? So what if her husband hadn't returned? Shouldn't her most important thing be to raise her daughter and then find an opportunity to look for him?
But she was too worried and cautious, and didn't take good care of her own body. She had to rely on a half-grown postpartum woman to take care of her. She was truly unworthy of being a mother.
Thinking that the beautiful woman she had just met was actually from the Meng family, Lu Qingyan curled her lips and a strange glint flashed in her eyes.
I wonder if Meng, who has done so many bad things, is afraid of ghosts?
There was no moon that night, but the lights in the courtyard were quite bright. The shadows cast by the candlelight were long and eerie.
The night wind was blowing softly when a white shadow suddenly flashed past. Crimson blood flowed down a person's neck, and no one knew when he died.
His eyes widened as if he had seen something utterly terrifying. His entire body turned bluish-green, as if his life force had been drained away.
Lu Qingyan would never actually absorb someone's life essence; such an act would only bring her karmic burdens and prevent her from finding peace.
It was another kid who did it, but he wasn't ordered by Lu Qingyan.
Lu Qingyan only wanted to scare the servant, but she didn't expect a male ghost to make a move before she could.
"Hehe, hehe--" He laughed and pounced on her, finishing her off completely. Then he licked his lips with satisfaction: "So delicious, it's been so long since I've had a good meal."
Lu Qingyan narrowed her eyes: "Who are you?"
Even among ghosts, not all can live in harmony; fighting and devouring each other is the fate of most ghosts. Was the first thing she had to do upon arriving here to fight for territory? Lu Qingyan trembled.
The male ghost chuckled, seemingly quite docile after enjoying his meal. He mocked himself, "Who do you think I am? The only ones who can die here and have their souls lingering are us slaves."
Lu Qingyan frowned and emphasized, "I am not a servant of this manor."
Yue Niang never left her indenture here; she was forcibly taken back. What kind of slave is she?
The male ghost didn't believe Lu Qingyan's excuse either: "The people in this manor are either masters or servants. If a master dies here, he will be moved to the ancestral grave. The only ones who can become ghosts here are servants. Who are you trying to fool?"
Lu Qingyan lowered her head in disappointment: "I... I was forcibly brought in."
The male ghost nodded in sudden realization and exclaimed, "I never imagined you were having a worse time than me!"
