Zhu clearly did not believe Lin Wanyue's words!
However, the obvious red blood vessels in her eyes frightened her son, Liu Dashao.
"Little fairy, you must think of a way to save my mother! She's my only mother, you must think of a way, and my sister, my whole family... we're all counting on you." Young Master Liu was so frightened that his lips trembled, and he even tried to hide his huge body behind Lin Wanyue, a three-year-old girl.
"..." Lin Wanyue rolled her eyes speechlessly.
Zhu said, "Young lady, that's just your side of the story. I didn't see any ghosts or monsters."
"Huh? Fu Yin wants to see?" Lin Wanyue took out a fragrant pill from her bosom, lit it on the candle flame, and said, "Let's go."
Are there really people who would be eager to see ghosts?
No one knows how these incense balls were made, but in just a short while, the entire room seemed to be shrouded in mist. A faint fragrance wafted through the air, making one feel as if they were floating in the clouds, while a chilly wind blew in.
Apart from Ms. Liu, who was lying unconscious in bed, everyone else was briefly confused.
Then it was quickly broken by a gasp.
"A ghost...a ghost!" A maidservant pointed to the window and cried out in terror.
Everyone immediately looked in the direction she pointed, and sure enough, they saw a slender figure standing in the corner by the window. They couldn't see the face clearly, but the resentful eyes were staring intently at Zhu.
Now Zhu had no choice but to believe it.
"It's really...it really is a ghost!" Zhu tried to calm herself down, but her trembling voice still revealed the fear in her heart.
She never imagined that she would actually see a ghost in her lifetime. More importantly, just as the little girl had said, this ghost was clearly there to find her!
Madam Liu went through everything that had happened in her life in her mind, and she really couldn't figure out which ghost or god she had offended to have gotten herself into this mess.
A few of the bolder servants, who weren't scared out of their wits, opened the door and rushed out.
"Hey..." Master Liu, standing outside the courtyard gate, saw the servants' panicked expressions and grabbed one of them, asking, "What happened? Why did you all run out here?"
"Master, there's a ghost in the house! You'd better run away quickly."
"The lady has been possessed by a ghost!"
They didn't have time to say anything more before they ran out.
How could Master Liu possibly believe them? Besides, even if he did believe them, his son, daughter, and daughter-in-law were all in there!
At this moment, Master Liu disregarded all etiquette and hurriedly barged in.
"Madam, are you alright?"
Suddenly, Zhu felt as if something was tugging at her sleeve. Although it was only a very slight movement, it still startled her so much that she took several steps back.
"Mother, what's wrong?" Young Master Liu's legs were trembling with fear, but seeing his mother's pale face, he still asked.
Zhu cautiously looked towards her sleeve and saw the panicked face of the old woman who had been by her side for many years. "Why...why are you pulling my sleeve?"
It almost scared her to death!
"No, Madam..." the servant girl said tremblingly, "That...that looks like Aunt Zhao..."
Mentioning this somewhat familiar name finally calmed down the Liu family members and servants who remained in the room.
Looking towards the ghostly figure in the corner, it really was Aunt Zhao!
Aunt Zhao was one of Master Liu's concubines. She was beautiful and delicate, and was quite favored by Master Liu back then.
It's a pity that although she was beautiful and delicate, her health was really too poor.
Zhao Yiniang was favored and became pregnant with three children in a row, but she lost all of them.
As a result, Aunt Zhao was greatly affected and became somewhat confused and her mind was unclear. This greatly bored Master Liu, who was quite fond of refined tastes and wanted a beautiful woman to keep him company. At first, he felt a little guilty, but later he rarely visited Aunt Zhao anymore.
Several years passed in this way, and in a moment of confusion, Aunt Zhao lost her footing and fell into the water, where she died.
The reason the old woman in the house was able to recognize the female ghost as Aunt Zhao, who had drowned, was because of her graceful figure and charming demeanor; she was a rare beauty in the entire county.
"How...how could it be her? She's been dead for so many years, why would she come to harm me and my daughter!" Madam Liu, Zhu, was both shocked and furious.
A cold wind whistled through the air.
The female ghost in the corner raised her head, revealing a pale and delicate face.
"Hehehehehe..." A sharp, shrill female voice rang out, "Why? I'm the one who should be asking why! Why are you two men, both the master's women, able to raise your two children to adulthood, and now you're pregnant with another one! Why? Why can't any of my children survive... It's all your fault, it must all be your fault!"
Lin Wanyue glanced at Aunt Zhao's thin figure, then at Zhu Shi, who was middle-aged and had become overweight with broad shoulders and a thick waist, and felt that this was not a difficult thing to understand.
But this three-year-old child could understand that Aunt Zhao, who had been dead for many years, was deeply mired in all sorts of conspiracies and intrigues, and was convinced that Zhu Shi was responsible for the deaths of her three children.
Fearing that Aunt Zhao would be enraged and harm her son and daughter, Madam Zhu quickly swore an oath: "Your miscarriage has absolutely nothing to do with me. I swear to God, I have never done anything bad to your child! If I dare to utter even the slightest lie, may I be struck by lightning and die a horrible death..."
"Then why did my child die? But all your children survived! Why? I want them dead! I want them dead! I want all three of your children to be buried with my child!" Aunt Zhao roared hoarsely.
"Aunt Zhao, think about it carefully. How can your children not be the master's own flesh and blood? Aren't they my children too? Why would I harm them?" Madam Zhu tried to persuade her earnestly.
Young Master Liu was fiddling with his fingers on the side.
After calculating again and again, I thought, "Among me, my sister, and my child, are they all still alive?"
"Huh?" Completely oblivious to the situation, Young Master Liu asked his mother with a mixture of surprise and delight, "Mother, are you pregnant again?"
I just don't know if I'm having a boy or a girl.
Mr. Liu never expected to see his old friend again after so many years, and he was filled with a myriad of emotions.
Then his son yelled at him, and he instantly snapped back to reality.
Is his wife pregnant again?
An old oyster produces a pearl!
Does that mean he'll have another child?
Master Liu could no longer care about their past romances and said to Aunt Zhao, "Feng'er, stop being so willful. What happened to you back then was just an accident. Do you want to cause me to be childless now?"
"To be childless and without descendants?" Aunt Zhao's ghost looked at him sinisterly.
