Never die in peace

Yao Niang's soul is dressed in a wedding dress exactly like the one Shen Lingxi dressed up for her.

The only difference is that in Yao Niang's autumn-like eyes, although there is still resentment that has not completely dissipated, there is more of a sense of satisfaction in having a great revenge.

Half a month ago, the Li family's mother and son took Yaoniang into the capital and forced her to become a concubine, so they planned to kill her in the house on Qinghua Lane.

Thanks to Yaoniang's kindness during her lifetime, she delivered meals to the old woman who lived alone next door every day. On the second day after her death, the old woman didn't see her coming to the door, so she opened the courtyard door to search and found her body.

Li Anlin committed the crime very skillfully and left no clues at the scene.

In addition, since Yaoniang had just arrived and had no relatives in the capital, no one would know that she had been Li Anlin's first wife, so there was no trace of Li Anlin.

The government investigated the case in Qinghua Lane and found nothing.

And because the body was perishable in midsummer and difficult to preserve, the body was sent to Fu'an Hall for embalming and storage.

Because of this, Shen Lingxi saw Yao Niang's soul.

Yao Niang used her ancestral embroidery skills as a reward and invited her to come to Li's house to handle this white matter.

"Li Anlin's holy family is prosperous. I can only help you to this extent." Shen Lingxi apologized and comforted: "But you don't need to worry. Such a commotion today at the foot of the imperial city will definitely alarm Dali Temple. The prefect wants to close the case in a hurry. It's no longer possible. Although Mu Huaian, the Young Minister of Dali Temple, is not a very good person, he is fairly fair in handling the case and will definitely redress your injustice."

Yao Niang bowed Yingying and said, "Thank you very much for helping me. Yao Niang had no intention of repaying her, so she gave her a few embroidery pieces and some embroidery passed down from her ancestors."

"The things are hidden on the east wall of the west wing of the house on Qinghua Lane, behind the leftmost brick. Ask the girl to fold the things into money and pay them to the three brothers who worked hard today. Aunt Zheng, who reported to me next door and collected the body, is lonely. If you are helpless, please ask the girl to take care of you."

"You have passed on your embroidery skills to me, so there is no need to pay me any more." Shen Lingxi thought for a few seconds, "Since those embroidery pieces were handed down from ancestors, they must be very precious. I will keep them properly for you until you find the right person. , and pass it down together with the embroidery skills. As for the land, after it is distributed according to your last wishes, I will put the remaining part in Fu'an Hall and settle the helpless children and the elderly in your name. What do you think?"

Yao Niang was very happy, smiled and thanked her, and her soul shadow turned into little stars and disappeared.

Shen Lingxi watched her soul disappear and murmured: "Aweng, now that I have learned Yao Niang's embroidery skills, I just need to spread the news. I believe that the murderer who killed you and your second uncle will definitely come to your door. Then I will be able to think of ways to avenge you, and you will be able to rest in peace..."

"Lingxi..."

Suddenly, an ethereal old voice came from behind Shen Lingxi.

The ghost of an old man wearing a plain white robe, with white hair and a round face, appeared behind her.

The shadow of the soul is much lighter than that of Yao Niang, almost blending with the moonlight. If you don't look carefully, you will almost lose sight of it.

"Ah Weng." Shen Lingxi looked back and saw the plain white soul, her eyes lit up and her heart instantly became happy.

This was the soul of Aweng who had passed away for more than a month. Shen Lingxi had not appeared in the past few days, so Shen Lingxi thought that the old man had been reincarnated.

Unexpectedly, he is still alive in the world.

However, Shen Lingxi's joy only lasted for a moment.

The first thing her Aweng said was another topic that gave her a headache, "You girl, I guessed that you learned embroidery skills from Yao Niang just for revenge! How many times has Aweng told you, I and I You don’t need to avenge your second uncle’s revenge. I just want to see you get married as soon as possible and flourish..."

"But those people harmed you..."

Before Shen Lingxi could even speak out her words, the old man choked them back:

"What harm is there! They are relatives of the emperor and cannot be provoked by others! I know your abilities and don't take those people seriously. But Aweng just wants to see you marry happily, have children, and live a happy life. , I don’t want you to care about these things! If you can’t have a complete life, my old face... No, old soul, when I go to the underworld, how will I meet my fellow villagers and my Aying..."

As he spoke, the old man's soul shrugged his shoulders excitedly and actually started crying.

Shen Lingxi's repeated attempts to stop her persuasion were all concealed by the twitching corners of her mouth.

It's a pity that she, Ah Weng, was so engrossed in crying that she continued to scold, "It's all my fault...if I hadn't picked you up back then, if I hadn't taken care of you and adopted you, if I had taught you strictly since you were a child and wouldn't have allowed you to come into contact with the shop. With all the work in the house, you wouldn’t be eighteen years old and still unmarried. Caihua from the next village got a son-in-law and became the mother of two children at the age of eighteen... If I had known this, I should have done it earlier I will send out the news that you are the legitimate daughter of the Xuanping Hou Mansion. I will not wait until now for the Marquis to relent and take you back to the house. You said, if you cause such a thing today, if there is a quarrel with them... …”

"I don't care when there's a bad feeling." Shen Lingxi finally took the opportunity to speak, her voice was clear and sweet, and she didn't have the slightest worry.

"What don't you care about? That's your biological father! You are the legitimate daughter of Marquis Xuanping!" The old man immediately cried and yelled, "I don't care, from now on you must completely forget about revenge. Otherwise, I will never die in peace."

"Okay, okay." Shen Lingxi raised her hands and begged for mercy, "Forget, I will definitely forget."

"After returning to the Marquis Mansion, you must respect the elderly and love the young, honor your parents, and be respectful to your brothers and sisters."

"Yeah, yeah."

“Don’t cause trouble, don’t attract ghosts and scare people, don’t meddle in other people’s business, don’t listen to what’s inappropriate, and don’t see what’s inappropriate.”

"Okay, okay, okay."

"You must go on the blind date arranged by your elders, and don't do it half-heartedly."

"Go! Go! Go."

"At this time next year, I must marry myself off."

"Marry...Marry?" Shen Lingxi looked at the sky speechlessly, "Aweng, this is too hard for you. Even if I want to marry, I have to find someone you can like first."

Hearing this, the old man put away his tears and came to her very happily, "I'll tell you the truth, Xuanqing Nvguan of Jinxianguan once made a fortune for you, saying that as long as you return to the Marquis Mansion, The destined person will appear."

"When fate comes, nothing can stop it. Listen to Aweng. It's best to get married in March, just in time for Aweng's longevity. Then bring him to the grave and show it to me. In this way, I will I can feel at ease under the Nine Springs. The year after tomorrow, I will bring my great-great-granddaughter to my grave and bring a pot to make Daozi wine. I will have my great-great-granddaughter the year after tomorrow..."

Shen Lingxi felt very tired, but she still kept smiling, "Okay, I will definitely see you then."

"I know you are perfunctory with me again!" The old man was unhappy again, and his tears started to fall like beans again, "My soul is about to disperse, how can you let me feel at ease to reincarnate like this? A Yingruo has seen me , I must be blamed for not taking good care of my granddaughter..."

"Don't cry, don't cry..."

When Shen Lingxi thought about the separation from Aweng, she finally compromised, "Okay, I promise you, I won't take the initiative to seek revenge. I won't offend anyone who goes to the Marquis Mansion, and I won't offend anyone. I will try to get married before three months, okay?" Alright?"

The old man finally breathed a sigh of relief and nodded with a smile, "Remember, if you go to take revenge, I will die with my eyes open. Only by fulfilling the last step can I rest in peace. If you break your promise, I will give you a dream." "

When he finished speaking, he gave Shen Lingxi a big smile, turned around happily, and his soul turned into little stars under the moonlight and slowly dissipated.

Shen Lingxi knew that Aweng was really gone this time, and tears filled her eyes.

But when I think about it, no one will nudge me to get married anymore. I feel sad and relieved at the same time.

"Aweng, if there is an afterlife, I hope you can still be the best Aweng who has the best connection, just... don't rush to get married anymore."

She took a deep breath, turned and walked towards the carriage, "Axiang, Huo Huo, Zhuang Sheng, drive to Qinghua Lane. We have to take away Yao Niang's reward before the government."

"Okay!"

When the young man named Ah Xiang heard that he was going to get paid, his eyes lit up, and he quickly put the suona in his hand into the car. When Shen Lingxi got in the car, Mou full of energy drove towards Qinghua Lane...

The next day, what happened on the wedding night of Li Anlin, the newly discovered beauty, and Shen Yuyao, the legitimate daughter of Marquis Xuanping, spread in the capital.

For a time, the case of Yao Niang's death became the hottest topic in the streets of the capital, and even the nobles in the palace heard the news.

In the Shoukang Palace, Empress Dowager Dou, who had been ill for more than a month, was sitting on the bedside, listening to the young eunuch vividly telling this anecdote. She finally regained her energy after looking sick and sick for the past few days.

"The Ai family has not heard of such bizarre things for many years." Empress Dowager Dou seemed to have thought of something and looked sad, "I really miss it. The Ai family was still an ignorant girl at that time, but now she is dying. The days are numbered! I wonder if after my death, like that Yao Niang, I will be able to turn into a ghost and leave the palace to walk around..."

"You are weak and can be bullied in life, but after death you can turn into a fierce ghost and seek your life. If this is true, then thousands of souls will die at the hands of your grandson on the battlefield. Will your grandson be annoyed to death by those ghosts? They are just wandering around. Don’t be fooled by the little tricks of people pretending to be gods and ghosts." A clear and noble voice came from the door.

Everyone turned around and saw a man wearing a jade crown and an indigo embroidered gold python robe, tall and straight, with a cold and handsome face, striding in from outside the hall...
