Refuse to trample on the pride of heaven

Zhao took a casual glance and saw the blood. She cried out, obviously startled. After she came to her senses, she became even more angry.

"What the hell are you doing?! Can't you just pick up a piece of porcelain? Don't you know what's going on at home? It's unlucky to bleed, go away! Go back to the house!"

You left the house without permission today, and I haven't even come to you to settle the score yet! I am kindhearted and I am not setting rules for you, considering your weak health.

Otherwise, look at which daughter-in-law is like you? She doesn’t serve tea to her mother-in-law, she doesn’t greet her and serve food to her. . . . . .

Your parents in your mother's family are not kind either. They married a sickly daughter to you. I didn't see that when I first saw her! And Shi Dao is not good either. She is the only one who is haunted by ghosts among so many people in your family..."

The main character Zhao plays is about suppressing her daughter-in-law in various ways, blurting out all kinds of harsh and vicious words without thinking, and every word hurts the girl's heart. Xu Yunrao doesn't say a word from beginning to end.

Lu Wensheng saw everything in the room clearly, sighed, and walked to the door outside the house. Thinking that he should be more polite when treating the female family members, he did not open the door rashly, but shouted to the people in the room through the door.

"Madam Wang, what are you guys arguing about? It's late at night, you'd better not be anxious. This kind of negative emotion might attract dirty things - is Xu in the room? According to what you said, she is haunted by a ghost. It's safer for her to be alone at night..."

When Zhao heard Lu Wensheng's voice, she sighed at first. After listening to the content of his speech, she was shocked and quickly calmed down. She didn't dare to vent her emotions to Xu Yunrao anymore. After hearing the second half of Lu Wensheng's words, she became even more anxious.

Yes, she actually forgot that this little girl was still haunted by her sister's ghost. If she left her here, she didn't know what would happen to her and her precious grandson. She had to call Xu Yunrao back to the house as soon as possible!

This girl from the Xu family is just not good. She might bring bad luck to their Wang family. It would be better to see fewer daughters-in-law here in the future!

Zhao immediately no longer had the intention of putting on airs in front of her daughter-in-law, and she drove Xu Yunrao out of the house as if he were a ferocious beast.

Xu Yunrao was still docile, and even when she came out she was not in a hurry, with the demeanor of a lady from a noble family. She looked up and smiled warmly at Lu Wensheng who was at a distance, and thanked him politely.

"Thank you, Immortal Master, for helping me out."

Lu Wensheng didn't comment: "It's just a piece of cake."

Being oppressed as a wife is difficult, and he can't change anything, or even intervene. A few simple words can make her relax for a while, which is the only thing he can do - think positively, maybe even after this matter is resolved, Zhao will still have a psychological trauma, and won't ask her to serve him as much in the future?

Although Lu Wensheng felt a little sympathetic towards this lady with a cunning mother-in-law, he did not eliminate his suspicion of Xu Yunrao.

He exchanged a few polite words with Xu Yunrao, then offered to take her back to her room. Considering the woman's reputation, he stayed beside her, with a maid holding a lantern between them.

When they got outside the yard, Xu Yunrao stood at the door and thanked Lu Wensheng for his escort.

"Would you mind telling me about your sister?"

It was not convenient for Lu Wensheng to go into a woman's room and chat with her in the middle of the night, so he simply asked at the door.

Xu Yunrao shook his head, looking weak.

"Of course I don't mind. My sister's name is Xu Yunxiu. She married my husband five years ago. Everyone says that my sister has a bad fate. She has not had any children for many years, and my husband has taken more and more concubines in the backyard. . . .

My mother-in-law almost asked my husband to divorce my sister, citing the seven grounds for divorce. My sister finally had a child, but she didn’t live to enjoy the blessing—"

Ah, it still feels very strange that two sisters married the same man as their husband. The name "husband" made his mind confused.

Lu Wensheng rubbed his brows and asked, "How many children has your husband had in all these years?"

"Just one, born by my sister."

“…Isn’t it obvious whose problem this is?!” Lu Wensheng subconsciously raised his voice, thinking that this matter was too weird.

Xu Yunrao's eyes flickered, and he hesitated: "Don't talk about this casually..."

"Do you think this is because your sister has a bad fate?"

Xu Yunrao lowered her head and turned her back to the light, making it impossible to see her expression. She didn't say anything, and looked like she agreed.

"...According to your family and the Wang family, you will be possessed by your sister at night. Do you really not feel anything?"

Xu Yunrao shook his head: "Except for feeling a little dizzy when I woke up the next day, I didn't feel anything."

Feeling that he hadn't gotten any useful information from Xu Yunrao, Lu Wensheng frowned and told her to go back to the house and rest.

Late at night, Lu Wensheng patrolled with a lamp in hand.

The bamboo forest next to it rustled, casting a thick shadow over the bluestone path.

The trees on the roadside blurred into dark shadows, swaying wildly in the night wind, making rustling sounds, as if something was approaching stealthily, making people feel creepy and fearful.

Lu Wensheng encouraged himself in his heart and actually quickened his pace. He turned to the outside of Xu Yunrao's yard and saw the light of the lantern hanging at the gate of the yard. He breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little safe.

"The thin grass is in the empty forest, and the cold rain is blowing in the wind. A thin and lonely soul, just needs someone to accompany him.

Lonely spring platform, I call you tonight, dimly see, a line of ghost lights, revealing a peach blossom face. "

Suddenly, a woman's singing voice was heard in the yard. It was extremely strange, and the cold wind that blew from time to time made people feel creepy.

Lu Wensheng wanted to hide in the crack of the ground on the spot, or pretend not to hear it, turn around and run away. He sent a message to Liu Jiqian and the others, and he mustered up the courage to go to the yard.

There were no lights on in other parts of the yard, and it looked pitch black, except for one room which had a little orange light.

Lu Wensheng cautiously stretched out one foot, then stuck his head in, looked around, and found that only the room in front of him was lit. He was so scared that his body seemed to be nailed to the door, and he didn't dare to go in at all.

[Wen Sheng, don't be afraid! Come on, rush in!] The system encouraged Lu Wen Sheng, who was about to cry but had no tears. When he finally stepped into the yard, he also covered himself with various talismans.

"Mrs. Xu, Mrs. Xu?"

Lu Wensheng carefully pushed open the door of the lighted room, making very little noise.

The room was a typical boudoir of a girl from a wealthy family. The winding wooden lattice window grilles reflected the elegant candlelight, filling the room with brilliance. A delicate bronze mirror was placed on the table, reflecting the moonlight outside the window like water.
