After being reborn in the Mass Grave, she overturned her predecessor's power

In the study, Jiang Xue Ning handed the information about Shaoyao reported by the spy to Gu Tangli, "Based on the investigation, there is no problem. She is indeed an orphan who grew up in Lihua Village at the foot of the mountain."

Gu Tangli read it carefully and suppressed the doubts in her heart, "Maybe I am too sensitive and think too much."

Jiang Xue Ning was busy, so he put the matter aside for the time being after investigating. Anyway, he was lame in the palace, so he couldn't make any big waves for the time being.

However, Gu Tangli could not ignore the strange feeling of familiarity. That day, Shaoyao pushed Gu Hanzhou for a walk in the garden.

After receiving the message, she picked up the beautiful Persian cat and went to the garden.

"Master Wen is here too. Is your injury better?"

When Gu Hanzhou saw the cat with its tail hanging in her arms, he froze for a moment.

Soon he smiled as if nothing had happened and said, "I have good food and accommodation in the palace, and my injuries have healed well."

"That's good."

The cat in her arms suddenly broke free from her arms, jumped onto Gu Hanzhou's legs, and swept his face with its big tail.

He subconsciously grabbed the cat by the neck and threw it to the ground, holding his breath.

"Dudu, come back!" She smiled apologetically, "Sorry, the kitten is very naughty at this time."

He endured the itchiness in his throat and the difficulty in breathing and said, "It's okay, it was so sudden that I was scared."

"It's time to take the medicine, Shaoyao, let's go back."

She noticed with her sharp eyes that his neck began to turn red, and she stood there watching him leave in his wheelchair, the gloom in her heart deepened.

Back in the room, Gu Hanzhou said coldly, "Did that bitch notice something?"

"No way, your face is so perfect that even if Wen Shiyue's own mother came, she wouldn't be able to tell there's anything wrong with it."

"I'm allergic to cat and dog hair. Few people know that I can't get close to cats and dogs." There was a murderous look in his eyes. "Is what happened today really just a coincidence?"

The one who knew him best among these people was his former bedmate Gu Tangli.

"In order to avoid any more trouble, it seems that we should find a chance to kill her as soon as possible!"

Shaoyao said distressedly, "This is not easy. If something happens to her, King Xiangchu will definitely investigate thoroughly and use all means, which will be disadvantageous to us."

He said with a headache, "Let me think about it."

After Gu Tangli's exploration of the garden that day, the feeling of uneasiness in her heart became even stronger.

She planned to go to Lihua Village in person and specially invited Jiang Xue Ning to go with her.

"My suspicion is ridiculous. My sister has experienced a lot over the years, so I would like to invite her to go with me."

Jiang Xue Ning picked a day with nice weather, and went to Lihua Village with her, disguised as village women.

Lihua Village is located at the foot of a mountain not far from Luming Mountain. The mountain is home to a variety of species, so a village was formed at the foot of the mountain.

Because it was at the foot of the mountain, people often passed by here to go up the mountain. So when they entered the village, they did not attract anyone's attention.

Based on previous intelligence, they quickly found Shaoyao's home, two old wooden houses under a big pear tree.

Jiang Xue Ning pushed the door open and walked in. The inside looked like a farmhouse. After a look around, she found nothing wrong.

Gu Tangli said unwillingly, "I'll go ask the villagers nearby."

Jiang Xue Ning searched the entire room and finally picked up a flying knife under a tree in the back room.

She raised the throwing knife. It was as thin as a cicada's wing and extremely sharp. It was a carefully crafted weapon.

A well-made flying knife appeared next to the house of a rural orphan girl.

She never believed in coincidences.

Gu Tangli inquired for a long time and returned disappointed. "I asked several households, and it sounded like there was no problem."

She said, "Maybe we should find the person in the village who is closest to her."

"The villagers said she was eccentric and taciturn, not close to anyone and always kept to herself."

She said, "Today is the fifteenth, let's wait and see."

The fifteenth is a good day for burning paper money and offering sacrifices. She looked at the calendar before going out today - today is a good day for offering sacrifices.

It was a rare opportunity for her to come out, and compared to Gu Tangli's tenseness, she was very relaxed.

Wu Jin went to hunt pheasants and rabbits, and she went to pick mushrooms. After cleaning up, she took out the casserole from the wooden house.

The three of them went to the back mountain, chose a secluded place where they could see the cabin, and started to make a fire and have a picnic.

Wu Jin took out the seasonings he had brought with him, rubbed salt and spices on the rabbit and pheasant and started to roast them, and stewed the remaining pheasant with mushrooms.

Soon the fragrance wafted out, and Gu Tangli also relaxed, "Sister has a really good attitude."

"I have a feeling we won't get nothing tonight."

Soon a group of people started eating and drinking, and Wu Jin put out the fire. The moonlight was very good tonight, and it was not pitch black.

It was almost midnight, the night was already quiet and the whole village was in deep sleep.

A fire was lit under the pear tree next to the cabin.

"It seems that it is useful to check the almanac before going out."

Several people walked silently to the back of the wooden house, only to see an old woman with gray hair burning paper money on the ground, chanting, "Peony soul, come back, come back..."

"Go away, ghosts..."

Jiang Xue Ning walked out, "Is Grandma trying to summon Shaoyao's soul?"

The old woman was startled and subconsciously looked at the ground. Fortunately, there was a shadow under the moonlight.

Looking at this group of unfamiliar faces, the old woman asked vigilantly, "What are you doing here in the middle of the night?"

"Old lady, you are very familiar with Shaoyao, right?"

They were even very close, otherwise he wouldn't have picked a good day and come alone to burn paper and call back her soul.

When talking about peony, the old woman's expression changed slightly and she kept silent.

"I am going home…"

Seeing that she was about to leave, Jiang Xue Ning quickly said, "You also suspect that the current peony is not the real peony, right?"

"We suspect that the man she rescued harmed her, so we came here to get information. If you know anything, old woman, you must help us."

The old woman sat back under the pear tree and spoke slowly after a while, "That child had a bad fate. He lost his father at a young age and his mother a few years ago. My husband and children are all dead. The villagers think I am unlucky and don't want to get close to me."

"Peony's mother was a very kind person. She often took care of me secretly. We became familiar with each other after a while. Later, she passed away, and Peony and I depended on each other."

But she was regarded as an "unlucky" person, and she was afraid of dragging down their reputation, so she kept her dealings with them a secret and kept a low profile.

She said with a painful look, "About three months ago, I noticed something was wrong with Shaoyao. Others may not know, but I treated her as my granddaughter, and the child was willing to be close to me.

I know she is not my peony, but no one else can see the problem."

"I've heard from the elders in the village that some people are possessed by ghosts. I suspect Shaoyao is possessed by a ghost."

That's why she became so strange and weird, and I couldn't even remember who she was.
