Chapter 155 As parents, we also feel sorry for our daughter being all alone down there.
Shen Yuepo, standing to the side, had a frosty expression on her face, her gaze fixed on Yu Zhenghong and Mu Ruoyan.
"Give me the girl's birth date and time."
Mu Ruoyan trembled at Chen Yuepo's gaze, then hurriedly said:
"Yes! I have it on my phone! Master, please wait a moment, I've saved it in my phone's notes."
She frantically pulled her phone out of her pocket, and her fingers trembled as she tried to unlock it several times before she succeeded.
She quickly scrolled through her phone's notes app. "Found it! It's here! Master, look!"
She held the phone almost with both hands and handed it to Shen Yuepo. The screen displayed a name and detailed birth date and time.
Shen Yuepo didn't answer the phone, his gaze sweeping over the information on the screen.
She closed her eyes and quickly calculated and verified the results in her mind again.
A few seconds later, she opened her eyes, her gaze becoming even colder.
“Lin Xiudi…”
Shen Yuepo murmured the name, "Died of cancer? Ha..."
Her icy gaze pierced Yu Zhenghong and Mu Ruoyan:
"Are you sure she really died of illness?"
"Although her birth chart shows Seven Killings facing the Dipper, with no auspicious stars and encountering inauspicious ones, it is true that she died young. However, the Seven Killings contain calamity, and her life palace carries the sign of bloodshed. This is definitely not a sign of being bedridden for a long time!"
Every word Shen Yuepo uttered was like a heavy hammer blow to the hearts of the Yu couple.
Initially, they only cared whether the girl's birth chart was compatible with their son's, and whether the girl's parents were willing...
Have I ever really looked into these things?
Yu Zhenghong and Mu Ruoyan's faces instantly turned from pale to deathly white.
Mu Ruoyan's body went limp, and she collapsed onto the sofa: "No...it's impossible, her parents said she died of illness..."
Yu Che was also completely stunned, and an even darker thought uncontrollably emerged.
Could it be... that girl named Lin Xiudi, her death was caused by her parents...?
Shen Yuepo stopped looking at them, turned and walked towards the door, leaving only one sentence:
"Find the master who was in charge of making the connection within three days."
She paused at the doorway, tilting her head slightly. "Also, find the girl's parents and find out the real cause of her death."
The Yu family's actions this time were surprisingly swift.
The next day at noon, when Shen Yuepo stepped into the Yu family villa again, there were two middle-aged men and women in the living room in addition to the Yu family of three.
Shen Yuepo's gaze swept across the middle-aged couple's faces, and he instantly understood.
The couple were around fifty years old.
The man was short and thin, with a harsh and indifferent face.
His cheekbones were high, the corners of his mouth drooped slightly, and his eyes, though cloudy, revealed shrewdness and mercenary nature.
The woman appeared more acerbic, with triangular eyes, slightly protruding brow bones, deep nasolabial folds that extended downwards, and a cold and indifferent nature.
Although the two were dressed respectably, their inherent sharpness and calculating nature made Shen Yuepo see through their true nature at a glance.
When Shen Yuepo entered, the couple only glanced at her briefly.
Immediately, a fawning smile spread across his face as he bowed and scraped before Yu Zhenghong and Mu Ruoyan.
"Mr. Yu, Mrs. Yu. Why did you call us here in such a hurry?"
The woman rubbed her hands together, eager to speak, thinking it was some good news.
Looking at their faces and thinking about the impending doom of his family, Yu Zhenghong felt a surge of anger rising in his head.
He suppressed his anger, his voice as cold as ice:
"Lin Dazhu, Wang Guihua, how exactly did your daughter, Lin Xiudi, die?! What exactly happened with that ghost marriage?! Did you orchestrate it?!"
Yu Zhenghong's questioning instantly froze the smiles on Lin Dazhu and Wang Guihua's faces.
The two avoided each other's gazes and exchanged a glance.
Wang Guihua chuckled dryly, her voice becoming a few decibels higher:
"Oh, Mr. Yu, what are you saying? Our Xiudi just... just got that damn cancer, and... just couldn't get better and passed away! All the neighbors know that!"
"As for that... that arrangement of a ghost marriage, wasn't it your Yu family who proposed it? We, as parents, were just worried about our daughter being lonely down there..."
As she spoke, she tried to shift the blame onto the Yu family.
"It was our suggestion that was made."
Mu Ruoyan dug her meticulously manicured nails deep into her palms, trembling with anger. "But it was clearly you who approached that master to act as a go-between, saying there was a girl who had just passed away!"
Yu Zhenghong instinctively reached out to help her, but she pushed him away.
Mu Ruoyan staggered forward two steps. "You think you can get away with this just because you can't find that matchmaker master?"
Lin Dazhu quickly tried to defend himself, his eyes darting around, "Xiudi...she really did die of cancer! We parents only asked the master to arrange this marriage for the sake of our child..."
"For the child's sake?" Shen Yuepo sneered and stepped forward slowly.
Her gaze, sharp as a knife, scraped across the couple's faces inch by inch.
"Both of you have narrow and dark foreheads, prominent brow bones, bumps on the bridge of your nose, and deep nasolabial folds."
"This appearance indicates a narrow-minded person who values profit over emotion, is mean and ungrateful, and especially favors men over women."
With each word she spoke, Lin Dazhu and Wang Guihua's faces paled a little more.
"You were destined to have one son and one daughter. Your daughter was intelligent but died young and suffered a lot at the hands of her parents. All the family's resources were devoted to your son."
“Your son is now married, but he is unambitious, lazy, and his marriage is unstable. He is truly a hopeless case!”
"You accepted the exorbitant dowry from the Yu family back then, and then immediately bought your son a house in the city and got him a wife!"
"Have you ever considered that your daughter, Lin Xiudi, was sold like merchandise to the Yu family's dead son before her body was even cold?"
"She toiled like a slave for your son while she was alive, and even in death you want to squeeze every last drop of value out of her. How dare you put on this hypocritical act?!"
Shen Yuepo's words were like knives, each sentence piercing the heart.
This exposes the couple's darkest schemes and cold-heartedness to the light of day.
Lin Dazhu and Wang Guihua were so shocked by Shen Yuepo's words that they turned pale and trembled violently.
They stared at Shen Yuepo in horror, as if they were seeing some terrifying monster.
Lin Dazhu was so frightened that he stumbled backward, almost falling to the ground, and said in a trembling voice, "You...you...how did you know?!"
Wang Guihua quickly came to her senses, screamed, and pointed at Chen Yuepo, "You...you're talking nonsense!"
"How would I know?" Shen Yuepo sneered, his clear, cold eyes seemingly able to see through the yin and yang.
"because……"
She suddenly raised her hand and pointed to the empty space behind Lin Dazhu and Wang Guihua, her voice carrying a chilling undertone:
"Your daughter, Lin Xiudi, is standing right behind you right now..."
A faint, almost imperceptible light suddenly appeared at Shen Yuepo's fingertips.
A chilling aura instantly filled the living room.
"ah--!!"
Wang Guihua and Lin Dazhu jumped up as if they had been grabbed by the neck by a ghost, letting out a shrill scream that was so shrill it was inhuman.
The two looked back in terror, feeling a chilling wind behind them and the hairs on the back of their necks standing on end.
Wang Guihua was so frightened that her legs went weak and she collapsed to the ground.
