I only regret that I didn't summon an even more powerful ghost back then?
He never expected that this vengeful ghost would betray him so early!
You're a vengeful ghost! Didn't you say you had plenty of strength and means to escape?
That's it??
She used to act all high and mighty in front of him, but now she's like a quail.
If you don't have the ability, why are you even out here causing trouble?
And shamelessly, she pushed all the blame onto him... Damn it!
"Nonsense! ...It was clearly you, you cunning devil, who tricked me..."
The human and the ghost began to argue. Each had their own reasons, their own innocence, their own helplessness, their own naivety at being deceived by the other, and so on…
Following the original plot, after a magical duel with Old Man Zhang, the female lead Ruan Siyao successfully won the bet.
However, they underestimated the strength of the vengeful spirit, which allowed it to escape.
The Zhao family looked at the female protagonist with new respect, treated her as an honored guest, rewarded her handsomely, and sincerely invited her to continue investigating the old lady's possession.
The sycophant Zhao Yangfan cooperated actively; if this vengeful ghost wasn't eliminated, the entire Zhao family would never have peace of mind.
The two investigated step by step, uncovering a host of secrets and truths about the Zhao family.
The story includes the Zhao family's ancestral history of accumulating wealth through murder and scheming, as well as the behind-the-scenes manipulator, the son of Steward Li, and the Zhao family's granddaughter—a few unavoidable details.
Butler Li got what he deserved.
The vengeful ghost obtained some extraordinary opportunity, its strength increased dramatically overnight, and it escaped again.
He also threatened the female lead, saying he would definitely take revenge one day!
This foreshadows the female lead's future growth trajectory.
The vengeful ghost had no room to escape from Yu Shuang.
Yu Shuang's series of simple and direct actions unlocked dozens of chapters of the original storyline's cause and effect ahead of schedule.
Yu Shuang gently tapped the ground with her cane, and the human and ghost who were almost fighting instantly shut up.
"Alright. You two are equally guilty, neither of you will escape. In the end, you're both going to die, so what difference does it make whether your crimes are lighter or heavier?"
One sentence sums it up.
The vengeful ghost looked dejected. He didn't know how powerful Yu Shuang was, but he thought he had really failed this time.
It's hateful that no one from the Zhao family was dragged down with them.
Butler Li looked astonished.
This is a society governed by the rule of law, how dare this old lady!?
Yes…
The Zhao family has never been innocent from the very beginning of their rise to power. How many dirty and despicable things have they done? What wouldn't they dare to do?
They were simply filled with resentment!
In their hearts, they believed that their actions of harming others were entirely due to the persecution they suffered at the hands of the Zhao family, and that they harbored resentment towards them.
This is karma!
It was all the Zhao family's fault; shouldn't they seek revenge?
Why has the Zhao family escaped punishment and instead remained at large for many years, enjoying countless riches and honors generation after generation?
Now, instead of getting revenge, he's going to be executed.
Good heavens! They really have no eyes!!
The more the vengeful ghost thought about it, the more out of control it became. Its ghostly aura surged, and two lines of bloody tears appeared on its two dark eyes.
"Boom—"
A sudden clap of thunder boomed in the clear sky outside, startling everyone inside.
Why is it thundering on a sunny day? Something's definitely up!
Sure enough, the vengeful ghost suddenly erupted with yin energy, and the entire ghostly mist exploded with a bang, instantly disappearing without a trace from the space.
His domineering and hateful words still lingered in the air:
"The Zhao family, I will return! Hehehehe..."
Yu Shuang's lips twitched slightly.
She had just sensed an immense causal force; it wasn't impossible to withstand it, but it would be a huge loss.
Fine, let them have their fun for a few days.
The Zhao family members, who had been standing there dumbfounded, finally processed the series of explosive information before them.
Old Zhao, his face contorted with rage, immediately kicked Butler Li.
"Butler Li! I never expected it to be you! I treated you like a brother, and the Zhao family considered you one of their own. How could you still hold a grudge about what happened back then and try to harm our whole family?!"
