Yang sent Xu Mingxi away, and only when there was no sound of his footsteps did she get up from the bed, walk to the table, pour a cup of medicinal tea from the teapot on the table, and drink several cups herself.

This is the calming tea she has been drinking recently. Although the effect is small, it is better than nothing.

The Zen room was plain and simple in layout, and she had no desire to sleep at all. Or it could be said that Yang was afraid of falling asleep. She paced aimlessly in the room, looking at the hourglass in the room, and her heart became more and more frightened.

Since she fell ill recently, there was one thing she had not even told Xu Mingxi: the time of her illness was extremely precise, and it had been the same time for many days, not a moment earlier or later.

As time approached, Yang seemed to smell the familiar scent of incense again.

Yes, it was the one that had been burning every day in recent days. She didn't ask for instructions today, but the maids and old women still prepared it.

Yang was not pleased by the servant's thoughtfulness. Instead, she felt a little dazed. Things in front of her eyes gradually overlapped and became illusory. The bed was clearly within a few steps' reach, but she stumbled for nearly a dozen steps and could not even touch the edge of the bed.

Suddenly, there was a sharp howl of wind, most of the flickering candlelight was extinguished, and the light in the meditation room suddenly became dim.

She felt something was wrong and stepped back in panic:

"Are we going to start again?"

"I don't want to hear it! I don't want to hear it!"

As she was dazzled, the world seemed to be spinning upside down, and Yang heard a familiar voice in her mind and ears again:

"Sister-in-law..."

"...I...Xue Nian..."

"Sister-in-law..."

"Someone come! Someone come over there!!"

No matter howling wildly, no one came to investigate.

After all, everyone nearby has become accustomed to this noise recently.

Everyone knows that Mrs. Xu has been suffering from nightmares and has not been cured for a long time. Even the people in the Xu family can't help her, let alone others.

"Xue Nian! After all these years, you still haven't left?!"

"Your daughter is no longer in the Xu Mansion! Why are you still chasing me?!"

"Sister-in-law."

A vague figure appeared before her eyes at some point, and the last trace of soft light disappeared. The cold moonlight shone on the person's face. Yang couldn't see clearly, but she intuitively felt that it looked like someone - Xue Nian.

Yang was terrified and sat on the ground, kneeling and using her feet to support herself, she backed away inch by inch, muttering, "You...you have always been in the Xu family and have never been reincarnated!?"

Xue Nian's eyes were dead silent, and he slowly moved forward: "I really didn't. I know very well how the Xu family treated me. How can I rest assured about my daughter?"

"Your daughter is living a good life now. She has become a princess! What do you have to worry about? Hurry up and reincarnate!"

The figure moved very slowly, and even after hearing what she said, there was no intention of stopping:

"But I watched you drive her out of the Xu Mansion..."

Yang covered her face with her hands and said in a trembling voice, "It was her. She wanted to leave on her own. It has nothing to do with us! She left on her own initiative because she didn't want to implicate the Xu family!"

"Your daughter is a loner by nature and never talks much to outsiders. Even if I have been keeping her company for many years, I still cannot warm her heart of stone. How can you blame the Xu family? How can you blame me?"

Yang denied it flatly, fumbled for an unknown long stick beside her, and waved it at "Xue Nian": "I don't know if you are a human or a ghost. Be careful of ghosts and monsters in front of the Buddha, or your soul will be scattered. You'd better be careful, you will never be able to be a human in your next life, and you will only be a lonely ghost for eternity!"

"I want to leave, but I want to go with you even more. You've brought me to this point... How can I be willing to... go on the road alone?"

"Obviously, you were the one who made the mistake first!"

Yang was probably extremely frightened, and she screamed loudly. She stood up with the stick in her hand: "You are an unknown country girl, and you actually want the title of Madam of the Xu Mansion!!!"

"Old Madam Xu has already found a mistress for the third branch of the Xu family! She is a relative of my mother's family! The third son didn't like her and actually left home. When he returned home, he married a worthless vixen like you!"

"You are a country bumpkin! I don't know your background, your reputation, and I don't know what seductive tricks you used to make the third son of the Xu family fall in love with you! You even gave up your official career!"

"You are a monster, a vixen who drags people down with you! The third house is ruined by you and your daughter!"

Yang laughed out loud in a somewhat crazy way: "Yes, you are already dead. If a dead person disturbs the lives of the living, he will be punished by heaven and will not be able to reincarnate!"

"I originally used a slow-acting poison, but I didn't know your body was too fragile. After just a few times, such a small amount of poison was unbearable. Did it directly trigger some old illness?"

"If I wasn't worried that the third brother would leave after knowing this, and our eldest family would be left without a cash cow...would I be afraid of being discovered? It's none of my business whether you die miserably or not!"

"Xue Nian" was so angry that his fists clenched in his sleeves trembled uncontrollably.

She had thought about the reason. Perhaps it was because the identity of "the heir of the He family" was exposed, and Yang wanted to protect herself and avoid being implicated and killed the living...

Indeed, she could never have imagined that the reason for her mother's death was such a ridiculous dispute over status!

However, Xu Yuanshan never took a liking to her maternal family, so he held a grudge against her.

Even though Xu Yuanshan had never entered the official career and knew that he could not help the Xu family improve their power and reputation, he still brought in a large amount of money for the Xu family and managed the officialdom. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for the first wife to rise to prominence in just a few years!

How could Xu Guanghai reach his current position just by relying on his stupid mind of finding someone to blame when things go wrong? !

Yang was probably desperate, and vented all the emotions that had been pent up for years at once: "You are a shame to the Third House, and a shame to the Xu family. Your daughter is even more so! An expert has long said that your daughter is destined to bring misfortune to her father, mother, and relatives. She will never have a happy life, hahahahahaha!"

"That's why the old lady dislikes you three wives."

"So what if she becomes the princess? Even if it's an engagement, can't we still cancel it?"

"Xue Nian" said coldly: "Like your daughter Xu Mingxi?"

"Shut up! My Xi'er is the best! That man has no taste! She is the most beautiful woman in Kyoto!"

It seemed that Yang was even more irritated by this sentence. Her eyes were bloodshot and she rushed forward staggeringly. "Xue Nian" could see clearly that what she was holding in her hand was a specially made slender copper pestle with a sharp tip and colorful ghost-like talismans pasted all over it. It seemed that she was really scared these days, so she found such a "magic weapon" to protect herself from somewhere.

"I want to see whether you are a human or a ghost!"

The figures in front of her were overlapping, their bodies were unstable, and their movements were full of flaws. "Xue Nian" did not dodge or evade. When Yang was only an arm's length away from him, he suddenly raised his right hand and stabbed it straight into Yang's heart steadily, accurately and fiercely.

The entire blade was embedded in the flesh.

"Xue Nian" had a stiff face, and he went in and out straight away. When he pulled it out, the warm blood gushed out like a fountain, spraying half of her face.

"Xue Nian" subconsciously took a step back, and looked coldly at Yang who was lying on her back with her mouth wide open, her lips moving as if she had some breath left.

She took a few steps forward and squatted to investigate: "This knife is for you to apologize to my mother. My mother is kind and kind to others, and she has never made things difficult for you."

He stabbed it again in the abdomen: "This is your way of apologizing to my father for making him suffer for so many years in vain."

When the knife was pulled out, it was covered in blood, sticky and dripping.

Xue Nian stared at Yang's shocked expression with his dark eyes:

"The last knife is mine!"
