Lin Yajun's words pierced Old Lady Lin's heart like a sharp arrow. Old Lady Lin felt her whole body turn cold, and her steps became increasingly flustered. If it weren't for the two old women supporting her, she would have collapsed to the ground.
Perhaps because Old Lady Lin's fear had reached its peak, strange hallucinations began to appear before her eyes. To her horror, she discovered that two blurry shadows, sometimes visible and sometimes not, were closely following her, as if she could never shake them off.
The voices emanating from the two shadows were unusually mournful, as if they came from hell, sending chills down one's spine.
"Shen Er Nu, you'll pay for my life!"
"Give me back my life!"
The voice echoed in Old Lady Lin's ears, like a sob, making her soul tremble.
Old Mrs. Lin was so frightened that she almost lost her mind. She pushed the two old women aside and ran desperately, trying to get rid of the two terrifying shadows.
She ran unsteadily toward the sunlit courtyard, the voice still echoing in her ears. She stumbled toward the small Buddhist shrine where the Bodhisattva was enshrined. Her shadow appeared inside, and a mournful voice echoed in the shrine, "Give me back my life..." Terrified, Old Lady Lin fled in panic.
No matter where Old Lady Lin ran, those two shadows always followed her, and her mournful cries never ceased.
"I'll burn more paper money for you, so you can be reincarnated quickly! I'll go to the temple and ask the monks to chant sutras for you so you can be reborn into a good family!" Old Lady Lin cried out, her voice becoming hoarse and frantic as she tried to quell the resentment of the two shadows.
The two shadowy figures' voices grew even more shrill, "Give me back my life!"
"Shen Er Nu, you'll pay for my life!"
Old Mrs. Lin finally broke down completely. She screamed like a madwoman, "Don't take me! Ah, let me go..." Her body trembled with extreme fear, and she even wet herself in terror.
The two shadows appeared and disappeared intermittently, but their voices always lingered in Old Lady Lin's ears.
Old Mrs. Lin wandered around the yard like a headless fly, waving her hands and shouting, "Go, go, hurry up and leave!"
"I want to leave here, I want to go to the temple, I want to go to the Taoist temple, I want to find someone to exorcise the ghost!" Old Mrs. Lin was filled with despair and fear as she ran towards the gate of the Lin residence.
"The carriage! Get the carriage ready!" she shouted as she ran, feeling that only by leaving this place could she escape those two terrifying shadows.
The servants hurriedly followed her instructions to fetch a carriage, the sound of its wheels rolling particularly jarring in the quiet alley.
Old Mrs. Lin stood at the gate, her expectant eyes fixed on the approaching carriage, as if it were the last glimmer of hope in her life.
When the carriage finally stopped in front of her, she pounced on it like a hungry wolf, disregarding her old age and frailty, and climbed onto the carriage with all her might.
Her movements were somewhat clumsy and flustered, and she even nearly fell while climbing, but she had no time to care about that. She had only one thought in her mind: to get out of this terrible place as soon as possible!
Four maids and servants quickly followed and climbed onto the carriage.
"Hurry...hurry up and go!" Old Mrs. Lin plopped down on the carriage seat and shouted impatiently to the coachman, her voice trembling with fear and a hint of despair.
The coachman was startled by her appearance and quickly cracked his whip, sending the carriage speeding away like an arrow.
As the carriage accelerated, Old Lady Lin felt the terrifying sound getting further and further away from her.
But that terrible experience haunted her like a demon, preventing her from finding peace. Her chest felt as if a huge rock was pressing down on it, making it hard for her to breathe. She could only open her mouth wide, panting heavily like a dog panting with its tongue lolling out in the sweltering heat.
Lin Daoyan and the others stood at the moon gate, watching Old Lady Lin run wildly in and out of the courtyard like a madwoman, as if being chased by something terrifying, completely unable to calm down.
Even more surprisingly, Old Lady Lin eventually escaped the Lin residence, boarded a carriage, and sped off towards the temple.
This scene was so unbelievable that everyone present was stunned and couldn't believe it.
Xu asked in astonishment, "Where did this ghost come from in broad daylight?"
Lin Daoyan said coldly, his face expressionless, "She has something to hide." His gaze was fixed on the direction where Old Lady Lin had left, as if his doubts had been confirmed.
Lin Yajun's lips curled up slightly, revealing a cold smile.
She thought to herself, "Old witch, you dare to mess with me? Just you wait and see! I'll scare you out of your wits!"
Just now, Lin Yajun quietly turned her dog head and silently summoned a tiny mosquito drone from her spatial storage.
While everyone's eyes were fixed on Old Lady Lin, she secretly controlled a small drone to fly silently in front of Old Lady Lin, projecting two blurry and eerie shadows.
At the same time, Lin Yajun also played a sinister and terrifying mournful sound in Old Lady Lin's ear through a drone. The sound seemed to come from the depths of hell, making Old Lady Lin feel terrified.
Old Mrs. Lin, who already harbored evil intentions, was terrified when she suddenly saw the eerie shadow in front of her and heard the chilling, mournful sound. She was so frightened that she forgot all about driving away the eldest son's family and taking away their house. She fled the Lin family mansion and headed for the temple she believed could drive away ghosts.
When Lin Daowei, the third master of the Lin family, learned that his second brother had been injured in the eye by his eldest niece and that the matter had become too big, he could only rush back to the Lin family mansion from the government office. Just then, he encountered his mother leaving in a carriage as if she had gone mad.
He was stunned by the sudden series of events and watched the Lin family's carriage speed away.
Originally, the three branches of the family planned to stay out of the fray, watching the two sides fight it out while they reaped the benefits. However, after a fierce struggle, the final outcome was completely unexpected—the old lady and the second branch suffered a great loss at the hands of the eldest branch!
This astonishing ending left the third family members stunned, and countless questions instantly flooded their minds.
First, they began to suspect whether the old lady had really killed the late old lady.
Immediately following, another question arose: "Did the old lady also kill the master? Why?" This question struck the hearts of the three families like a heavy hammer.
They couldn't understand why their mother would poison their father, and what unknown secrets lay behind it.
The fact that the eldest son's daughter had suddenly become so powerful left the third son's family completely baffled.
Her kung fu improved by leaps and bounds, and her personality became tougher, as if she had been reborn overnight. Was this due to her own innate talent, or was someone secretly helping her?
Lin Daowei didn't want to get involved in his mother and brother's falling out and wanted to stay away from the conflict. He was deeply shocked when he saw his mother fleeing the Lin mansion in terror from the sight of a ghost.
As a head constable in the government office, Lin Daowei has a keen intuition for investigating cases.
A terrifying truth gradually surfaced in his mind: it was highly likely that his father had discovered the truth about his mother's murder of the late wife, and had gone to confront her. In order to cover up her crime, his mother had cruelly poisoned his father to silence him.
