Xiao Cunyu's words were simple and ruthless. Facing such a ghost, he did not put himself in her shoes and empathize with her. His attitude was as if he were treating an ordinary ghost.
But precisely because her voice was too cold and calm, the ghost's anger seemed to be blocked, with no way to vent.
The ghost quickly flew towards Xiao Cunyu, anxious and angry: "I'm not a bitch, I haven't done anything to let the Xue family down! It's that old woman who's talking nonsense. Please help me, tell him that I really didn't do it!"
The "he" mentioned by the ghost was obviously her husband when she was alive.
She was divorced and kicked out of the house before the marriage was even consummated. Xiao Cunyu really didn't know why she still cared about such a man. He even lost his life for such a marriage. Such a price was quite heavy.
"Okay, I'll go and ask for you. Please provide your name and address. Also, I need to know the year of your death." Xiao Cunyu said again.
Xiao Cunyu's face was calm, and the ghost also regained some rationality: "My name is Du Xiuxiang. When I was born, my father went to the army and died. My mother remarried, and I lived with my uncle. I can get by."
"My uncle's family loved me quite a bit. When I was sixteen, they arranged a marriage for me with the son of Mr. Xue, the owner of the paper shop in the south of the city. His family was well-off, and my uncle also prepared a generous dowry for me. My future mother-in-law even met me in person, so she was very pleased with me."
"It was a perfect match. I was waiting to be married at home peacefully. On my wedding day, there was nothing special. I arrived at my husband's house smoothly, and we even worshipped heaven and earth... But after I lifted the veil, everything changed."
"Among the spectators, there was a woman who was my husband's aunt. When she saw me, she was horrified and called me a whore! She even said she had seen me having an affair somewhere! That aunt has always been very prestigious, and when the relatives present heard this, they all believed it without a doubt!"
"I quickly protested, but this aunt actually knew I had a leaf-shaped birthmark on my abdomen. When she told me this, my husband was stunned. My mother-in-law was furious and said she had made a mistake. She accused my Du family of marriage fraud and threatened to sue my uncle's family in the government."
"The people who had escorted the bride had all gone back, leaving me alone to face this pack of wolves and tigers. I had no way of defending myself."
"They all said I did something wrong and pointed at my nose and cursed at me."
"My mother-in-law immediately threw out the divorce letter and wanted to kick me out. It was my wedding day. If I went back like that, what would happen to my younger sister from my uncle's family? How would she get married? I also knew I couldn't explain this matter clearly. There was no other way out except to die! I was so ashamed and angry that I ran into the Xue family's gate and died."
"I thought the word 'fierce' might be able to cleanse me of the dirty water. However, after I died, my soul wandered around, and I saw with my own eyes the Xue family carrying my body to my uncle's house to cause trouble, saying that I committed suicide out of fear of punishment. Because of the birthmark, my uncle was unable to make a decision on my behalf and even had to take the blame for the crime. And then..."
"My aunt from the Xue family said that I died wearing a red dress, and she was afraid that I would cause trouble in the afterlife, so she found a high monk. The monk chanted an incantation for a long time, and as he chanted, I forgot many things. I only remember that others said I had done something wrong..."
Du Xiuxiang was filled with grief and indignation, but her face remained firm. "I really don't know why that aunt knew about my birthmark. It's such a private matter, and no one else knows about it except my aunt and cousin... But they absolutely have no reason to harm me!"
