C40 (1/2)

Song Nan's anger persisted for a long time. I waved my hand to signal senior apprentice brother Zuo Ming to leave first. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to pull Song Nan back.

”July.” Song Nan seemed to have calmed down. He whispered to me, ”What will happen to you if I kill Zuo Ming?”

I opened my mouth and replied, ”Then I'll ignore you and never see you again.”

In my subconscious, I always thought Song Nan was a good ghost. After knowing him for so long, not only did he not eat me, he even saved me many times, even though it was all based on keeping me by having children.

Song Nan shook off my hand. ”Let's go. I'll take you home first.”

I followed behind him, thinking that senior apprentice brother Zuoming was right. Song Nan is narrow-minded, it's the first time I've seen him, yet he doesn't even know him and says that he's going to kill him. How could I agree?

I was still wearing the bright red wedding gown from before. Touching the inside, I found that it was an extremely thin pyjamas. Comparatively, it was better for me to wear it first.

Along the way, I prayed not to meet anyone, not for fear of losing face. It could be imagined how a long-haired woman wandered the streets alone in the middle of the night. Normal people would be frightened by her presence.

In front of my building, I took off my wedding gown and threw it in the trash.

Song Nan led me into my bedroom. I think if he wanted to stay, I would agree. Or not to agree?!

”Have a glass of ginger soup and a hot bath. ”Hurry up and sleep.” After Song Nan finished speaking, he disappeared …

Just in time, the baby is happy.

Drinking ginger soup and taking a hot bath were too noisy. Her Majesty already had a little insomnia, so I didn't want to disturb her.

After using the makeup remover and wet tissue to clean my face, I couldn't wait to rush to my bed, mine! All mine! That evil spirit actually tricked me!

I fell asleep only when I was out of strength.

”July, are you awake yet?” The empress dowager knocked lightly on the door. After waking up from my stupor, I heard Her Majesty's words were actually the same as the dream that the Ghost King had given me. I hastily touched my branch and jade talisman in fright. They were still there. I heaved a long sigh of relief.

It wasn't a dream.

”Awake, Empress Dowager.” After he finished speaking, he heard a lot of noises coming from outside. The dream was too real, or perhaps the Ghost King had already seen it coming.

Then would Song Nan know? I'll ask him when I have time.

After getting up from the bed, I ran out. Her Majesty was sitting on the sofa outside the living room with a messy expression on her face. When she saw me come out, she quickly stood up.

I didn't look at her. I looked towards the kitchen and sure enough, my father came out with the bowl of noodles. ”July, come and try out my father's cooking skills. I specifically learned it for you, longevity noodles.”

I took the bowl from my father.

”Do you see that? This is the boss.” My father used his chopsticks to point at me. ”Eat the eggs first, then you need to eat the noodles in one go. Don't break them. Break the unlucky ones.”

I picked up one of the poached eggs and fed it to my father. Then I pulled the empress dowager to make it and fed her another poached egg.

”Silly July, daddy specially cooked you a soft-boiled egg. Don't you like it anymore?”

What I'm doing now is a little suspicious. I was never too close to them before because of the estrangement of my childhood.

”Dad, I already know about what happened yesterday. Grandpa was the one who made the mistake.” I told her directly that my father and Her Majesty must have known that ghosts existed for my grandfather to be able to do such a thing.

Her Majesty hugged me. ”Do you know everything about July?”
