Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Granny Zhou’s expression was stern. Wealth came from danger. The reward that Councilor Tan had promised her was 100 taels of silver. Even though she knew that Councilor Tan’s mother had a strange death, she still came.
The servants watched seriously.
Granny Zhou muttered something that no one could understand.
Granny Zhou opened her eyes again. She was filled with anger and glared at Tan Fengzhi. “You unfilial son.”
Seeing Granny Zhou’s expression, the servants were all shocked. They couldn’t help but look at Tan Fengzhi. They knew very well what kind of person Councillor Tan was, but their lives were in Tan Fengzhi’s hands, so they didn’t dare to go against him.
Tan Fengzhi narrowed his eyes and got up. He knelt down in front of Granny Zhou and said, “Mother, I know I was wrong. You can go in peace. I will definitely burn a lot of joss paper for you every year. I guarantee that you won’t have to worry about food and clothing in the netherworld.”
Granny Zhou’s eyes were filled with tears. She got down trembling and looked at Tan Fengzhi. “I’m happy to see that you’re willing to admit your mistake. You’re not irredeemable. When I go this time, I won’t be able to see you again.”
Tan Fengzhi looked at Granny Zhou, then raised his hand to wipe his eyes. “Mother, I miss you.”
Granny Zhou hugged Tan Fengzhi gently. “Take the right path in the future. I’ll leave the Tan family to you.”
The servants revealed complicated expressions.
Granny Li frowned. Granny Zhou would definitely not allow a vengeful spirit to possess her and harm her body, so this was just an act. However, Councilor Tan was also an actor.
This love between a mother and a son was all fake…
Liu Sanniang looked at Granny Zhou. The wisp of spirit was around Granny Zhou. It tried to possess her again and again, but was being blocked by a force. The old spirit was extremely angry, manic, and resentful.
......
Liu Sanniang looked at the spirit. The spirit had also sensed Liu Sanniang. She left Granny Zhou unwillingly and went to Liu Sanniang’s side to beg. “Miss, help me.”
Liu Sanniang waved her hand. “Go.”
Hearing Liu Sanniang’s voice, Granny Li couldn’t help but ask. “Miss Liu, where are you going?”
Liu Sanniang smiled at Granny Li and did not speak. Instead, she looked at Granny Zhou.
Granny Li had a terrifying guess in her mind. Could it be that Liu Sanniang had seen the deceased’s spirit?
Her heart trembled. That was a level of cultivation she could never achieve in her lifetime.
Granny Zhou was still talking to Tan Fengzhi.
Tan Fengzhi nodded and kept making promises.
Seeing that it was about time, Granny Zhou let go of Tan Fengzhi. “My time is up. Promise me that you’ll do what you have sworn. I’m leaving now.”
Tan Fengzhi nodded and pretended to wipe his tears. “Don’t worry.”
He stood up and instructed Butler Tan. “Hurry up and bury the coffin. It’s not good to leave it here.”
Granny Zhou closed her eyes. She was just faking it and wasn’t really possessed. However, she still had to wrap up the show.
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Just as she was about to open her eyes, a chill surged up her body. Granny Zhou panicked. She then lost consciousness and her body began to be controlled.
She started to tremble.
Tan Fengzhi was still instructing the servants to prepare for the funeral.
However, his shoulder was suddenly grabbed. He paused and turned around. He looked at Granny Zhou and said impatiently, “Granny Zhou, I will give you the reward I promised. Don’t worry.”
Granny Zhou looked at Tan Fengzhi with hatred. “My son, do you know what kind of life I’ve led when I was alive?”
Tan Fengzhi frowned and said coldly, “Granny Zhou, there is no need to put on a show anymore.”
The show was already over. Why was she still acting?
Granny Zhou snorted. “My son, the kick you gave me a few days ago hurt so much that it took my life.”
Tan Fengzhi’s pupils constricted. He looked at Granny Zhou and said incoherently, “Who, who are you?”
It was impossible for outsiders to know about this.
Granny Zhou said coldly, “My son, why don’t you recognize your mother?”
Tan Fengzhi was shocked. Earlier, he could tell at a glance that Granny Zhou was just acting. But now, he felt a chill all over his body. Tan Fengzhi retreated a little and shouted. “Guard, guard, kick this crazy woman out. How dare she try to scare me?”
Butler Tan was terrified and did not dare to go forward, but he was pushed forward by Tan Fengzhi.
Butler Tan could only bite the bullet and said, “Master Zhou, please leave.”
Granny Zhou pushed Butler Tan away and said coldly, “It wasn’t easy for me to come back. Why should I leave?”
Tan Fengzhi ran towards Granny Li. “Granny Li, quickly send her away.”
Granny Li’s eyes widened. She did not expect that a fake show would end up becoming a real show. Looking at Granny Zhou’s cold eyes, she shivered and looked at Liu Sanniang for help.
Tan Fengzhi quickly looked at Liu Sanniang. “Miss Liu, aren’t you here to help? Quick, help.”
Liu Sanniang looked at Tan Fengzhi. “How did Old Madam die?”
Tan Fengzhi gritted his teeth. “Of course my mother died of illness.”
Liu Sanniang looked at Tan Fengzhi calmly. “Today is the fourth day. You still have three days.”
Tan Fengzhi was puzzled. “Miss Liu, what do you mean?”
Liu Sanniang stood up. “Let’s go.”
Granny Li had questions in her heart, but without Liu Sanniang around, she didn’t dare to stay here. She quickly got up and followed.
Tan Fengzhi roared. “Stop her!”
The servants were shocked. They wanted to stop Liu Sanniang, but they felt that they could not catch her. They could only watch as Liu Sanniang and Granny Li left the Tan mansion.
As soon as they left the mansion, Granny Li couldn’t help but ask. “Miss Liu, what’s going on?”
“It’s not Councilor Tan who needs help. It’s his mother.”
Liu Sanniang thought of that sorrowful spirit. Who said that only living people needed help in this world?
Granny Li was so surprised that she almost bit her tongue. She followed Liu Sanniang and stuttered. “Miss Liu, you, you mean you… you helped Old Madam Tan?”
Granny Li was wide-eyed with shock. Was it what she thought?
God, only Liu Sanniang would do such a thing. No one else would do it. In people’s opinion, vengeful spirits needed to be exorcized. Who would think of helping a vengeful spirit?
