"What?"
"What?"
"What?"
"What?"
Four shocked voices rang out in unison.
Jiang Yue darted out from behind her second brother and grabbed the little girl's hand.
"What did you just say? What do you mean my mother will die if I burn the piano or sell it?"
Because she was in a hurry, she used a lot of force and squeezed Qiqi so hard it hurt.
"Auntie, you're hurting me!" Qiqi struggled a bit.
Jiang Yue then realized that she had squeezed the girl's hand so hard it hurt, and quickly let go and apologized.
"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean it. Little sister, could you please explain what you meant by what you just said?"
Qiqi flexed her wrists. "It means exactly what it says. This piano was maliciously cursed. After the old lady touched it, she was cursed and her life was bound to the piano."
Why would they do this?
Jiang Heng narrowed his eyes slightly behind his glasses, a dangerous glint flashing in them.
"The other party is using this method to drain the fortune of your Jiang family."
Judging from their appearances, the three children of the Jiang family are all upright, kind, and filial. They have bound the old lady's fate to them, which is equivalent to having the Jiang family siblings under their control.
They were concerned for the old woman's life, and even after exposing the piano scam, they dared not act rashly.
Qiqi frowned, first using the methods of a gluttonous ghost and a lecherous ghost to absorb other people's luck. Now she's using a curse to link their lifelines.
These heretical practitioners spend their free time studying these crooked and evil tricks; it's really annoying!
I need to give the Xuanmen Association a proper talking-to later. What exactly are they doing?
The fact that these heretical practitioners are so rampant makes them look incredibly incompetent!
The expressions of the three Jiang siblings changed immediately, and Grandpa Jiang floated over anxiously.
"Young lady, no, no, young master, do you have any way to save my old woman and help my good-for-nothing children?!"
Only after he became a ghost did he realize how important luck is to a person.
If the Jiang family's luck is completely drained, then his children will likely not have a good ending.
Even after death, parents will still worry about their children.
“Uncle and Aunt have strong luck, so only a little bit has been absorbed so far, which is not a big problem and can be resolved. But…” Qiqi sighed, “Grandma is too deeply bound to the piano. Even if the curse is broken now, she will lose her life.”
"What should we do then?" Grandpa Jiang's soul swayed, and tears fell from his eyes.
His poor old woman, who would do this to her?
Seeing how heartbroken Grandpa Jiang was, Qiqi felt sorry for him and couldn't help but want to tell him the truth.
The old man was so pitiful. He was so badly deceived while he was alive, and even after he died, he still worried about the person who deceived him without knowing the truth.
Just as Qiqi hesitated, the door behind her was suddenly kicked open.
The group turned to look and saw an elegantly dressed, wealthy old woman standing in the doorway, hands on her hips, pointing at Qiqi in a sharp voice, "Where did this little brat come from, spouting nonsense here? What do you mean by 'lifeline bound to the piano,' or 'absorbing luck'? Why don't you just say you're the reincarnation of Qin Shi Huang, here to save the world?! At such a young age, you're already spouting nonsense. Who are your family members? Come on, let's find your family. I want to see what kind of family raised such a liar!"
Upon hearing this, everyone present changed their expressions.
Grandpa Jiang glanced at Qiqi furtively, afraid that she would get angry.
Why is the old woman suddenly speaking so sharply? She's usually so good-tempered and gentle; she's not like this at all!
Qiqi glanced at the person at the door and saw that she was standing on tiptoe with her heels off the ground, and her brows immediately furrowed.
Qi Qi's face darkened, and she raised her hand to send a burst of spiritual energy over.
A scream rang out, and a blurry black shadow flew out of the old woman's body.
The old lady's body went limp and she fell to the ground.
"Mom..." Jiang's three children rushed up to catch her.
Qiqi flicked her wrist, and a red rope flew out and wrapped around the dark figure. With a tug, she pulled him back.
"Spirit possession greatly depletes a person's yang energy. This old lady is so old, how dare you possess her? Are you trying to kill her?!"
Qiqi was furious and grabbed the spirit by the neck, about to stick a talisman on him.
"No, don't hurt him!" a frail yet gentle voice rang out.
Qiqi turned her head and saw Grandma Jiang slowly waking up in Jiang Heng's arms, looking at the spirit she was holding with a very worried expression.
"I agreed to let her possess me. He didn't hurt me. Don't hurt him."
As she spoke, she struggled forward, trying to untie the red rope binding the spirit.
Unfortunately, she was just an ordinary person, unable to even touch him, so how could she possibly solve the problem?
After trying for a long time to no avail, he looked at the spirit with frustration and worry, "Are you alright?" He glared at Qiqi, "Little girl, I already said it wasn't his fault, why are you still helping him? Hurry up and untie him!"
Qiqi: ……
I've seen senile people before, but I've never seen anyone this senile.
In front of her husband, son, and daughter, she cared so much about another male ghost, even one who had hurt her and her own flesh and blood.
There's no one else like it!
"Do I look like I'm alright? Hurry up and have her untie me, hurry up!" The spirit was very short-tempered and shouted at the old woman.
The old lady, as if used to it, timidly comforted him before turning to Qiqi and saying, "Little girl, hurry up, don't just stand there!"
"Mom, what are you doing? Do you know what you're doing?" Jiang Yue couldn't believe that her mother would let a male ghost who was harming them go unpunished.
"Of course I know!" Grandma Jiang glared at her daughter who was pulling at her. "If you're still my daughter, you'd better get this little girl to untie the rope right now!"
"mom!"
Jiang Yue was at her wit's end and looked to her older brother for help.
Of the three siblings, the eldest brother is the most authoritative in the family, and his mother listens to him the most.
Jiang Heng looked at the male ghost with suspicion. He had a very young face with sallow skin and somewhat familiar features, as if he had seen him somewhere before.
"Mom, who is he?"
Grandma Jiang paused, then murmured, "He's a friend of Mom's, the eldest son. Mom used to be closest to him. Please help Mom and ask that girl to let him go, okay?"
Jiang Heng narrowed his eyes. Good friend?
Who would risk their life to defend their best friend after their family member has been harmed?
Are they good friends, or some other kind of friend?
Jiang Heng's face turned pale. "Mom, did you know Dad is here too?"
