That night, Chu Runruan came to the river. Grandpa Liu's soul had been wandering there, occasionally returning to the Liu family to take a look. Chu Runruan could still see him several times.
"Grandpa Liu, Grandpa Liu, are you there?" Chu Runrun shouted towards the river.
Not long after, Liu Zhuzi's soul floated out of the tomb.
"Girl from the Chu family, why are you looking for me?" Liu Zhuzi asked puzzledly as he looked at the group of villagers following Chu Runrun.
"Grandpa Chu, Xu Mei is back!"
As soon as Chu Ruanruan said this, Liu Zhuzi's soul trembled:
"You...what did you say? Who's back?"
"Xu Mei! The village chief told us that Xu Mei is still grudgeful and keeps pestering Grandma Liu. If you can come forward to persuade her, maybe it will work!" Chu Runrun said.
Liu Zhuzi sighed heavily upon hearing this: "What was supposed to happen has finally happened. I've been hiding for so long because I didn't dare to face Xiaomei. I didn't expect that I would actually harm my wife!"
"Old Liu, the retribution for the sins we committed has come. I am already going to die, but I cannot bring trouble to my son!
Xu Mei has returned as a ghost to seek revenge on me. She was fond of you when she was alive. Can you persuade her to come after me alone and not involve my son?
Grandma Liu cried and shouted towards the river.
Liu Zhuzi looked at Grandma Liu with tears in his eyes. He knew that no one except Chu Ruanruan could see him or hear him, so he could only tell Chu Ruanruan:
"Chu girl, tell your grandmother Liu that I'm sorry for her. If I hadn't been possessed by the devil, I wouldn't have harmed them both.
Now Xiaomei wants revenge, I should not implicate them even though I have become a ghost. I will go with you later, and after I see Xiaomei, I will let her do whatever she wants!"
Chu Runrun relayed Liu Zhuzi's words to Grandma Liu, who lowered her eyes helplessly.
Thinking back, she and Liu Zhuzi were brought together by a matchmaker. Although they lived in harmony at first, in essence, she and Grandpa Liu had no feelings for each other at all.
She had not expected that Liu Zhuzi would cheat on Xu Mei. She was just angry at the time and did not intend to kill Xu Mei.
The current situation is like this, and none of the three of them is without fault!
"Grandpa Liu, come with me!" Chu Runrun said.
Liu Zhuzi nodded and followed everyone to the Chu family.
Because Ning Xuan was in poor health, Han Lixue and he did not follow him.
When Chu Ruanruan and the others returned, they found the house filled with gloomy energy. Dahei started barking like crazy, and then there was a scream:
“Help!!”
It’s Han Lixue’s!
"elder brother!"
Chu Runrun's face changed, and her small body rushed in like a hare.
Inside the house, Ning Xuan seemed like a different person as he pinched Han Lixue's neck. The fourteen-year-old boy lifted up Han Lixue, an adult.
Chu Runrun could tell at a glance that Ning Xuan was possessed by Xu Mei.
What happened? Xu Mei actually broke through the ghost-avoiding formation?
The current situation left Chu Ruanruan no time to think too much.
"Bad guy, let go of auntie!"
Dahei jumped towards Ning Xuan who was possessed by Xu Mei. Xu Mei threw Han Lixue aside and then ran out.
"Grandpa Liu, stop her!" Chu Runrun shouted.
Liu Zhuzi looked at the ghost emerging from Ning Xuan's body and shouted, "Xiaomei!"
Liu Zhuzi's shout immediately stopped Xu Mei, and his pale face separated from Ning Xuan's body.
"You...you are...Brother Zhuzi!" A woman's voice came out of Ning Xuan's mouth.
"Hey! It's me! Xiaomei!" Liu Zhuzi looked at Xu Mei with tears in his eyes.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chu Runrun quickly took out a piece of talisman and stuck it on Ning Xuan's back. It was the ghost-exorcising talisman that Grandpa Chu left for her.
As soon as the talisman paper was applied, Xu Mei was immediately forced out of Ning Xuan.
"ah!!"
Xu Mei let out a shrill scream, and everyone covered their ears.
"Xiaomei!" Liu Zhuzi's soul floated over quickly.
Xu Mei is a vengeful ghost, and her ghost energy is many times stronger than Liu Zhuzi's. Even if getting close to Xu Mei will weaken Liu Zhuzi's soul, he doesn't care.
"Xiaomei, stop it. I am sorry for you!" Liu Zhuzi cried bitterly.
"Xu Mei, I know you blame me. If you want to kill someone, just kill me. Don't hurt anyone else!"
Grandma Liu didn't know where Xu Mei was, so she could only kneel on the ground and confess.
Xu Mei looked at Grandma Liu, her anger growing even stronger: "You killed me, I'm going to kill you!"
Xu Mei rushed towards Grandma Liu, and a strong fishy smell spread.
"Xiaomei, stop!" Liu Zhuzi stood in front of Grandma Liu.
Xu Mei looked at the man she loved, but ultimately couldn't bring herself to do it.
"Xu Mei, you hate Grandma Liu for killing you, but aren't you innocent?"
Han Lixue shouted as he stumbled out.
"It was Grandma Liu who saved you. If it weren't for her, you would have died long ago. But you stole her husband. Aren't you wrong?" Han Lixue said.
I have to say that Han Lixue, who has a very positive outlook on life, hit the nail on the head.
Xu Mei gradually calmed down, and the gloomy atmosphere gradually subsided.
In fact, she knew very well that she was wrong in the beginning, but she was unwilling to accept it. She was unwilling to watch her lover have children with another woman after her death, so she resented it for so many years and turned herself into this ghost!
"Xiaomei, I was wrong. If you want revenge, come at me. I am sorry for you!" Liu Zhuzi pulled Xu Mei and cried bitterly.
Hearing this, Xu Mei actually let out a bitter laugh, and then her gloomy and terrifying face gradually returned to normal.
"Brother Zhuzi, I know we are the ones who are wrong, but I just won't accept it!" Xu Mei said with tears in her eyes.
"Xiaomei, we met at the wrong time in this life. If there is a next life, I will definitely compensate you!" Liu Zhuzi cried bitterly.
"Xu Mei, I know you hate me for killing you. If you want to pay me back, just kill me now. I'm already half buried in the ground, so it doesn't matter whether I'm dead or alive. I just ask you not to implicate my children!" Grandma Liu cried bitterly.
Xu Mei's figure gradually emerged.
Everyone was frightened and retreated.
"Xu Mei, it's really you!" Grandma Liu looked at the wound on Xu Mei's forehead and felt extremely guilty.
"If I kill you, Brother Zhuzi will hate me. I was also wrong in what happened back then. Today, we are even!" Xu Mei said.
Liu Zhuzi took Xu Mei's hand and held her in his arms.
Grandma Liu looked at them and sighed heavily. After living for most of her life, she felt the most relaxed at this moment.
She saved Xu Mei, but Xu Mei stole her husband. Is she resentful? The answer is of course yes.
But Xu Mei also paid a price for this. Perhaps now no one owes anyone anything!
