Chapter 345: Atonement
Zeng Zhan and Pan Zimei were both a little surprised by Zhong Nianyao's impulsive behavior. However, since they were going to let Zhong Nianyao give it a try, they had no choice but to trust her.
Soon, Zeng Zhan and Pan Zimei brought Zhong Nian Yao to Old Lady Zeng's room.
As for Zhao Xuanlang and Liu Zihang, they did not go upstairs to join in the fun, but stayed in the living room waiting.
As soon as I entered the room, I saw the sunlight slanting in from the window. Although it was already autumn, the sunlight coming through the window was still a little warm, giving people a very comfortable feeling.
Zhong Nian Yao took a look and found that the room was well ventilated. There were windows open for ventilation, and the room was very clean, making it very suitable for recuperation.
However, what seemed out of place in this comfortable room was the old figure lying on the bed.
The old lady was lying in bed. When she saw someone coming, she slowly stood up and half leaned against the headboard. She looked at the person with obvious confusion on her face.
Zhong Nianyao looked at the old man, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she returned to calm.
Old Mrs. Zeng looked at Zhong Nianyao, then at her son and daughter-in-law, "This is—"
Zeng Zhan and Pan Zimei exchanged glances, not knowing how to explain to Mrs. Zeng. They couldn't just tell her that they thought there was something dirty in the house and asked Master Zhong Nianyao to come take a look!
"I came here to chat with you." Zhong Nianyao came directly to the bed, pulled over a chair and sat down, "Let's talk about your current situation."
Old Mrs. Zeng was stunned for a moment, somewhat confused.
"This..." Pan Zimei's face showed a trace of embarrassment, and then she said, "Mom, Miss Zhong is a master. She is very good at supernatural events."
"Nonsense."
Mrs. Zeng, who had a kind face, suddenly became gloomy, and even had a hint of hidden worry. She looked directly at Zhong Nianyao and said, "Little girl, there is nothing wrong at home. Please leave quickly!"
"Mom..." Pan Zimei said worriedly, "Your body has become like this for no reason, and even the doctor can't find any problems. Just let Miss Zhong take a look, just to buy some peace of mind!"
Zeng Zhan on the side also chimed in, "Yeah! Mom, this is the person Zihang brought here, and the child will be worried about you. You can't just let her go like this!"
"No need." Old Mrs. Zeng's attitude became very tough. "Just let her go now. I'm fine and don't need any help."
"Mom!" Zeng Zhan's face was full of helplessness. "Just let them take a look! They came all the way here! Besides, you're already in the emergency room, and you're still saying you're fine."
"Stop talking." Old Mrs. Zeng's face was not in a good state. She said directly, "I have already made up my mind. No matter how much you say, it will be useless. Now, all of you go out. I want to rest."
Seeing Mrs. Zeng's unusually tough attitude, Zeng Zhan and Pan Zimei looked at each other in bewilderment. But since the parties involved were unwilling, there was nothing they could do.
"Um, Miss Zhong." Pan Zimei's face was a little embarrassed. "I'm sorry to bother you with making this trip today. We--"
Zhong Nianyao ignored Pan Zimei. Her eyes fell on Mrs. Zeng's face. "What are you afraid of?"
After these words were spoken, Mrs. Zeng's expression did not change, but she quickly recovered. When she looked at Zhong Nianyao, her attitude was very cold. "I don't know what you are talking about. But I can tell you clearly that there is nothing wrong with me. I haven't been in good health recently, but it's just because I'm old."
"Also, little girl, you're so young, don't try to deceive people like this. It's better for you to find a good job."
"Oh?" Zhong Nianyao asked with interest, "Old lady, how do you know that I'm just bluffing and cheating? Maybe I really have some skills? You can't underestimate my abilities just because I'm young!"
A trace of panic flashed in Mrs. Zeng's eyes, but her face remained calm. "I don't know what you are talking about, but I don't need you here. Leave now."
Hearing such an obvious order to leave, Zhong Nianyao's expression did not change at all, and she had no intention of getting up. She tilted her head and glanced at Old Lady Zeng, "You're afraid. You're afraid that I'll see something. Or, if it really is a ghost, you're afraid that I'll hurt it, right?"
Zeng Zhan and Pan Zimei were confused and bewildered listening to the conversation between Zhong Nianyao and Old Lady Zeng. However, they finally understood that their mother was only protecting the invisible ghost.
"Mom, what are you doing?" Zeng Zhan asked in disbelief, "Did you know something? Is that why you didn't want Miss Zhong to see it today?"
Although Pan Zimei didn't say anything, her face showed disapproval.
"Get out, get out now."
Mrs. Zeng suddenly became emotional. She pointed directly in the direction of the door and raised her voice several degrees. "I don't want to see anyone now. All of you get out."
Looking at the abnormal appearance of Old Lady Zeng, it became even more impossible for Zeng Zhan to leave.
"Actually, there's nothing in your house," Zhong Nianyao suddenly said, "There aren't any ghosts in your house, let alone any supernatural events."
"This is impossible." Old Mrs. Zeng said subconsciously.
However, it was precisely because she spoke that Zeng Zhan and Pan Zimei became more aware of her abnormality.
If there was nothing at home, they should be happy to have guessed correctly. However, the old lady Zeng's expression now did not look happy at all, but rather a hint of sadness and disbelief.
"I'm not lying." Zhong Nianyao said calmly, "I think you must have thought that your daughter was always by your side! But, I'm sorry to tell you, there's nothing by your side."
"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible." Old Mrs. Zeng looked distraught. "The master clearly told me that the girl was by my side. She has always been by my side."
"So, that's why you're determined to die, right? There's nothing wrong with your body, but you want to die, and that's why your health is getting worse and worse. You want to die because you feel you need to atone for your sins, and you plan to use your life to atone for them."
