C9 (1/2)

By now, I think I understand what she meant. He could not help but shiver. At the same time, a thought flashed across his mind: Could it be that the thing I saw last night was a ghost?!

The more I thought about Zhao Quan'er's strange face last night, the more I felt that this was a possibility.

The Grand Matriarch said quietly, Now do you know why that donkey would cry when it saw you? It's because you're covered in Zhao Quan'er's ghost aura, and he won't let you off. From yesterday onwards, he'll be here for three consecutive nights, and on the third night, you'll die.

If he wanted to kill me, he would have done it last night. Why did he have to wait for three nights?

Because the night after tomorrow is his first seven!” The ghost didn't even know that he's already dead until the seventh night. Then he'll understand and when he's full of grievances, you're dead. ” The Grand Matron's voice was like water, devoid of any flavor. However, I felt a chill as I listened to her words.

My intuition told me that the Grand Matriarch wasn't speaking alarmingly. Furthermore, Zhao Quan'er's situation last night really didn't seem like she was alive.

At this moment, I suddenly thought of the box I stole, and tremblingly asked the nanny if it would be alright to return the box to him.

It's too late. I'll tell you the truth, the box contains Zhao Quan'er's ashes.

Only then did I know that the Grand Matriarch wanted to rely on this teasing Zhao family to keep quiet so that Zhao Wu wouldn't care about us, but who knew that she would be completely screwed by me.

Right now, Zhao Quan'er has his eyes on me, he wants to kill me, and that is the only way to quell his anger.

The matriarch told me, The most important thing now is to find a way to keep you alive.

I asked her if Zhao would attack my father and the others.

The Grand Matriarch said that she wouldn't. When Zhao Wu saw him, he already had concerns in his heart and didn't dare to overdo it.

I believe Grand Matriarch's words. For the time being, nothing will happen to my father.

But at this moment, I suddenly thought of another person, Soo Soo.

Since Zhao Wu's ghost can find me, then I can find Soo Soo. I haven't seen Soo Soo for days. Could something have happened to her?

Thinking of this, I panicked and uneasily asked the Grand Matriarch if anything would happen to Soo Soo.

The old granny looked at me strangely and said, ”You're almost at your death's door, yet you're still concerned about her?”

I said yes. The matter of saving Soo Soo this time is the best opportunity to prove my worth. I will not give it up.

The Grand Matriarch thought for a moment and told me that seeing her current state, Soo Soo should be fine. Otherwise, if Zhao Quan'er had really killed someone, his resentment wouldn't be so great.

According to Grand Matriarch's thoughts, Soo Soo should have already escaped from this place.

When I heard this, I felt relieved. It was only then that I remembered that my own life was at stake. I asked the Grand Lady if she had any ideas.

The Grand Matriarch had said that people had no chance of winning against resentful ghosts. If they wanted to preserve their lives, they could only use poison against poison, and find ghosts with even greater grievances to deal with them.

I felt a chill in my heart and asked her how to find it.

The Grand Matriarch thought about it and said she had an adventurous way of letting me go with her.

About twenty minutes later we were in front of a ruined house.

No one had lived in that house for several years. The red lacquer doors were already stained with dust. Through the gap in the door, one could see that the wasteland was extremely desolate.

This is a famous haunted house in our village. A lot of people say it's not peaceful.

I asked her what she meant, and she asked me if I knew what the house was all about.

I said of course I knew, this house is very strange, a few years ago my son married a wife. But the daughter-in-law had a lover, and was preparing to elope with her lover on the night of the wedding, when she was discovered.

The bride didn't manage to leave. She died after drinking the medicine, and her son felt embarrassed. That night, he hanged himself and died as well.

The only person left in his house was his mother. Because of the shock, she died within two days, so her family was no longer in her hands.

I asked her what she meant by coming here. Did she want me to live in this house?

The Grand Matriarch said that she wasn't. She wanted to borrow the bride of this family to make a match for me, and then have the bride's ghost fight to the death with Zhao Quan'er.

When I heard this, my hair stood on end. I said no, this was the reason why this family's son hanged himself. If I marry his wife, he'll fight me to the death.

The Grand Matriarch said it was alright. The bride died on the night of their wedding. They had yet to consummate their marriage, so they could not be considered husband and wife. Furthermore, Zhao Quan'er's number seven is just around the corner, we don't have time to think of any other methods.

I thought about it. I couldn't care less if I wanted to live, so I agreed.
