The prefect was exhausted when he saw the old lady saying that she was going to file a complaint to the emperor in front of the prince and others. This was not the first time he had heard such words. The first time he heard them, he was shocked and sad, but now after hearing them so many times, he only felt endless helplessness.
It would be fine if she just kept nagging and threatening him normally, but she did it today in front of the prince. She really didn't care about her son at all.
No, he was wrong. As a son, his mother gave him life, so he should be grateful. How could he ask for anything else?
He looked at the old lady sadly and said, "Mother gave me a life, raised me to adulthood, and provided for my education. I can only obey you in everything and put you first in everything."
"I owe you what I owe you. I have the right to do whatever you ask me to do. If you want to file a complaint with the emperor, go ahead! This way, I can be dismissed from office and stay home with you all the time. You won't have to ask my wife to fulfill my filial duties on my behalf."
"If we go back to our hometown and continue to live on that one acre and three mu of land, it will be very hard for my mother."
"Your son owes you something, but Qinglan doesn't owe you anything. So don't order Qinglan around or make things difficult for her in the future."
Doesn’t he know that his wife has been wronged? He knows it!
But he had persuaded and coaxed his mother as needed, but she just wouldn't listen. She had agreed to it at the time, but the next moment she was the same as before, without any change at all.
His wife did not believe in Taoism before, but because his mother heard from somewhere that those noble ladies all believed in Buddhism, she also followed suit.
Every day she burned incense in the house, and got up early in the morning to chant scriptures. From time to time, she would invite monks to her home. Once her son was sick, she said that incense ash had merit, and she secretly fed her son the ash, causing the child to have diarrhea for several days. From then on, her wife began to believe in Taoism.
He was also very angry that time!
His first wife had been married to him for a year and was often ordered around by his mother. Most of the time, she was so tired that she went straight to sleep when she returned to her room. They had no children.
His wife had a difficult time giving birth because of something that happened to her before, so she won't be able to have children in the future. His only child has been tormented like that. He feels distressed and helpless, so he lets his wife fight with his mother every day.
The wife of the prefect felt a little sorry when she saw the prefect like this. She had feelings for the prefect, otherwise she would not have stayed until today. Although life was difficult for women in the Taisho era, it was not harsh on them. After a divorce, women could remarry or have their own households established.
But she couldn't bear it, there was nothing she could do!
If she doesn't fight the old lady, she will die!
Thinking of this, the prefect's wife couldn't help crying.
The young master of the prefectural family looked at his parents like this, his eyes reddened as he rushed towards the old lady, cursing: "You old witch!"
"If you force my parents to death, I'll beat you to death!"
No one expected him to have a sudden attack. The prefect's wife cried out in alarm, "Looking for my son!"
The prefect also shouted, "Mother..." and instinctively went to support the old lady.
The old lady worked too hard when she was young, so although she is able to work hard, her health is not very good.
But before the prefect could help the old lady, he saw viciousness in her eyes. She kicked her grandson who was rushing towards her without mercy, and kicked the child away.
The force was so great that it seemed as if that was not her grandson, but her enemy.
The prefect's wife watched her son about to hit the stone pillar nearby. She felt as if she was frozen in ice, the blood in her body solidified, and her pupils dilated.
Only when she saw the prince rescue the person did she suddenly lose strength and fall to the ground.
All this happened in just a moment.
The wife of the prefect was so frightened by the fear of almost losing her son that her whole body was cold. If the prince had not come to her rescue, the force of the old lady's kick would have caused the prefect's son to hit his back sideways against the pillar, and he would have been crippled if not dead.
The prefect's heart was beating in his throat at that moment. He looked at the old lady as if she were his enemy: "If you want to kill me, just kill me."
"Xun'er is your grandson!"
The old lady said in a sharp voice: "You are an unfilial person, you are not worthy of being my grandson."
The prefect's wife, who had been exhausted, immediately stood up after hearing this and rushed towards the old lady: "I will kill you, you old hag. Xun'er is not worthy of being your grandson, and you are not worthy of being Xun'er's grandmother!"
But just as she rushed over, before her hands could reach the old lady, she was strangled by the old lady.
The old lady's face was ferocious, and a strong wind blew around her, making people's hair fly wildly. "One by one, you are so rebellious. Today, I will enforce justice on behalf of heaven and take you in!"
She pinched the prefect's wife's neck and lifted her up straight up.
The prefect looked at the demon-like figure in front of him in great shock, muttering, "You are not my mother, you are not my mother..."
Wei Fu jumped down from the stool: "She is indeed not your mother anymore. To be precise, she is your mother and not your mother."
Half yes, half no.
This was the first time that Wei Fu had encountered such a situation, where he was successfully possessed by a ghost.
She saw that the old lady's soul and the evil ghost's soul had merged.
Master said that this kind of creature is called the Ghost Leader, and is more terrifying than evil ghosts. It can live forever, while evil ghosts will usually disappear between heaven and earth after a long time.
The conditions for becoming a ghost leader are very harsh. The most difficult thing is to meet a soul that is highly compatible with your own ghost. However, everyone's soul is unique, and highly compatible ones are rare.
Wei Fu initially thought that the evil ghost was just leaning over the old lady, but he always felt that something was wrong, so he didn't say anything. Now that he saw it clearly, he spoke.
The prefect didn't care to find out if this was his mother. Looking at his wife who was about to be strangled to death, he wept bitterly and knelt down to beg Wei Fu: "Princess, please save my wife..."
The old lady laughed heartily: "Just relying on her, she wants to save people from my hands!"
"My dear son, you asked the wrong person."
She knew how powerful Wei Fu was. If she were an ordinary ghost, she would be afraid, but unfortunately she was not.
When the prefect heard what the old lady said, he felt so nauseous that he retched. Why did he have such a mother!
He hates it!
Wei Fu pulled out a whip from his small pocket and smiled brightly: "Don't believe it?"
"Then you try it."
"I'll let you know that if you speak too absolutely, you'll get slapped in the face."
Wei Fu brandished the whip and lashed the old lady hard.
But the old lady didn't hide at all, and used the body of the prefect's wife as a human shield.
