Lu Renjia's lips were trembling.
"I...I...I didn't know you were dead..." Lu Renjia's words were indeed sincere.
Because over the years, whether before he became wealthy or now as one of the richest men in Beijing, he has deceived and cheated countless women.
If you have the ability to win his favor, you can marry him as a concubine. It's not a big deal to spend some money to support him.
If he gets tired of it, just abandon it or have it sold off far away.
However, Meng Lanxin does not belong to either of these two categories.
In fact, even now, Lu Renjia still remembers Meng Lanxin as a very beautiful and bright girl, somewhat lively, fond of teasing people, literate, and a bit aloof.
She was a beautiful young woman from a modest family.
Unfortunately, she was unlucky. Lu Renjia was young, and after he tricked Meng Lanxin into his hands, he felt that it wasn't very interesting and set his sights on a new girl in the brothel.
However, Lu Renjia was short of money at that time and didn't have enough silver to keep her. So he came up with an idea and found an excuse to sell Meng Lanxin into a brothel to serve other men.
He, on the other hand, used the money Meng Lanxin earned from selling herself to play with other women.
Later, he slept with so many women that he naturally forgot about these women.
"You finally remembered? Hahahaha!" The little pink butterfly was both crying and laughing.
"Lan'er, I'm sorry, please don't blame me, I really didn't mean to kill you." Lu Renjia was terrified, but after calming down a bit, he looked down on Meng Lanxin, who was so frivolous and easily seduced by his words.
He felt that even if this woman turned into a ghost, he would definitely be able to coax her back.
"Didn't you think about it?" The little pink butterfly had a strange smile on her face, but she was not polite at all. She directly put her hand into his mouth and pulled his tongue out.
Lu Renjia couldn't even scream anymore. As soon as he opened his mouth, the blood that had been pulled out of his tongue blocked his throat, preventing him from vomiting.
Just when Lu Renjia thought he was about to die, Little Pink Butterfly held up two fingers: "Back then you sold me for two hundred taels of silver. How could you not have thought of me being sold to a place like that? If you didn't think of it, why didn't you sell yourself to that human flesh bun shop? But it doesn't matter now. I'll chop you up and make you into human flesh buns right now. Let's see if you can think of that!"
"No, no, no..." Lu Renjia shook his head desperately.
He didn't want to die, he didn't want to die at all!
I definitely don't want to be chopped up and made into human flesh buns!
No matter how much he shook his head, the little pink butterfly's fingers still accurately pierced his eyes. But something burst open inside his eyes, and suddenly everything went black, with only the pain feeling so real.
Lu Renjia unleashed almost all his strength, forcefully pushing aside the little pink butterfly in front of him, and tried to escape with both hands and feet.
But the next instant, his leg bone snapped with a sharp pain.
Lu Renjia could no longer utter any cries for help or beg for mercy. He could only desperately kowtow towards the spot in front of him, hoping that the little pink butterfly would let him go.
I was filled with regret.
How could he have possibly provoked Meng Lanxin, such a heartless and insane person?
If he had known that this woman could become such a powerful ghost after she died, he would have done everything he could to subdue her.
But it's too late to say anything now!
The overwhelming fear and pain had completely taken control of Lu Renjia, making him struggle to move forward on the edge of death.
...
A beam of light fell on Lu Renjia's eyelids, and he immediately opened his eyes in a panic.
Then I saw my own bedroom, which was so luxurious it was almost excessive. The window had been pushed open, and on the small table by the window was a large blue and white porcelain vase with a few sprigs of winter plum blossoms inside.
He's still alive!
But the ghost in my dream...
Thinking of Meng Lanxin, whom he had dreamed about last night, Lu Renjia still couldn't help but shudder.
That dream was so real, and it happened more than forty years ago. Why would he suddenly think of that woman?
Lu Renjia thought about it carefully, but he really couldn't find any clues. He was also a little scared, so when he went out, he instructed his servants to go to the temple to burn some paper money for a woman named Meng Lanxin.
"Master, how much should we burn?" the servant asked cautiously. Seeing Lu Renjia's ashen face, especially the area between his eyebrows which was faintly tinged with black, he dared not say anything more.
Lu Renjia said somewhat irritably, "The more the merrier. We're not short of money. Why do you have to say so much when we're burning a little paper money?"
"Yes, yes, yes! I'll go right away." The servant quickly took the order and ran to the most famous Buddhist temple outside the city, instructing them to burn more. Anyway, these were Lu Renjia's orders, so it had nothing to do with him.
Lu Renjia went out for a stroll and ran into a bunch of his cronies who invited him to a brothel, but he refused to go.
However, thinking about what happened last night, he still asked his cronies, "I heard that Yingchun Pavilion seems to have gotten another top courtesan?"
"Brother Lu, we went there this morning and we don't recall hearing about this. Could it be that the madam dared to keep it from us brothers?"
"Yeah, Brother Lu, why don't you come with us? Could it be that the old woman looks down on us brothers and that's why she won't tell us?" These cronies are all about saving face. They heard from Lu Renjia that there was a new guy, but they hadn't heard of him, so they wanted to drag him along to play.
But thinking about the terrifying scene from last night, how could Lu Renjia possibly go out and play with them again?
Just as the two sides were arguing, a servant from the Lu family suddenly ran over: "Master, you should go back quickly, Madam is looking for you everywhere!"
Lu Renjia immediately seized the opportunity to back down, saying, "Brothers, there's really no other way. My wife probably has something to attend to, so I have to go back first."
"Oh, okay." His cronies couldn't stop him from going home to see his wife, so they could only agree to meet up again next time.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Lu Renjia returned, he was met with a cold and stern question from Madam Pan: "You're so old, and you don't even know how to take care of your health. You just go out and fool around every day!"
Lu Renjia usually paid little attention to this lady. Hearing her scolding words, he glanced at her and said, "Just say what you want to say. The money I spend on going out to play is my own. What's it to you?"
"You, you, you! You, Lu Renjia, you're a real scoundrel! I've never stopped you from going out to play all these years, but look at this account book, there's suddenly 300,000 taels of silver missing. Which vixen tricked you out of it? If you don't explain this to me clearly, I'm not done with you!" Madam Pan pointed at his nose and cursed.
