The useless second daughter of the Hua family

The group rode at full speed to Baiyang Town.

As soon as he entered the town, he saw a yamen runner quickly step forward and said to Lin Yicheng: "Old Lin, go back and see your daughter, your daughter is sick."

Lin Yicheng's expression changed and he ran home, but he disappeared after taking a few turns.

Ge Qinglan and his companions asked all the way to his house. Before they even entered the door, they heard a woman crying in grief.

"Every wrong has its perpetrator, if you have any problem, come to me, don't make things difficult for the child."

Hearing this, Hua Miaomiao retracted her leg that was about to step into the yard.

Ge Qinglan looked at her in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"This matter is not simple. The postmaster did not tell the truth. At least he concealed something."

"Every family has its own problems. Maybe they have some unspeakable secrets."

"If that thing came here to seek revenge because of the misfortune of this family, if we interfere, it will cause trouble..."

"How much evil can a child do? If it is evil committed by adults, it should not be punished on a child."

Ge Qinglan didn't understand why Hua Miaomiao, who had a little pity for the evil monsters before, was so indifferent to humans. He himself didn't realize that his sensitivity now was completely dominated by an emotion called jealousy.

"If you have any concerns, just wait here. I'll go in by myself." After saying that, he ignored everyone and strode into the house.

Pi Fu looked at Hua Miaomiao in confusion, "What's wrong with him today? He's like a firecracker. Did you two have a fight?"

Hua Miaomiao was also puzzled. She was fine yesterday, but how come she became like a different person after waking up?

"Was there something dirty in the post station last night?" she thought to herself and asked casually.

Pi Fu was unhappy when she heard this, "Do you not believe me, or do you want to humiliate Xiuzhu?"

"No, no, it's just a joke."

She also knew that with these two people around, even if there was something, it would have hidden away long ago. It was just that her mouth was faster than her brain, so it just came out of her mouth.

At this time, a child's crying was heard from the house, and then suddenly stopped. The woman wailed and there was no movement.

"Oh no!" Hua Miaomiao suddenly felt something was wrong, and several people walked into the house quickly. They saw Ge Qinglan looking back and forth between the woman and the child in a panic.

It turned out that just now after Ge Qinglan entered the house, he used a ghost-exorcising talisman on the child. But the child started to cry, and then stopped crying after a few cries. Fortunately, after checking, it was found that the child was too weak and fainted due to exhaustion. The woman fainted due to excessive sadness and fright. Several people in the room knew a little about medicine, so there was no need to call a doctor. Ge Qinglan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The postmaster sat dejectedly on the ground, his eyes dull, and he kept talking to himself: "Retribution, it's all retribution."

Ge Qinglan calmed down a lot at this time, and felt that he had been too reckless. For the time being, he should first find out the origin and demands of the ghost.

"I say, things have come to this, you should tell us the truth."

Lin Yichen sat there blankly, immersed in his own world, as if he didn't hear what Ge Qinglan said.

They waited for a long time but didn't get an answer. The sun was about to set and that thing was about to come out and cause trouble again. Ge Qinglan rushed over and picked up the weak man.

"If you have done anything evil, confess it quickly and don't make your wife and daughter suffer further."

Lin Yicheng was startled by him, and when he came to his senses, he shook his head in panic, "I didn't, really didn't."

Next, he told another story while crying.

It turns out that Chen was married before. Her husband's family name was Yao. Yao was a well-read scholar with great talent. Unfortunately, his ancestors had committed crimes, so he was a lowly person and had no chance to take the imperial examination. He could only be a teacher.

Chen was originally a daughter of a wealthy family. She met a scholar by chance at a lantern festival and fell in love with him at first sight. Despite her family's opposition, Chen eloped with the scholar to this remote village.

Relying on the money that Chen brought from home, the two started a small business in the town and lived a decent life.

Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. The scholar accidentally fell into a well. When he was found, it was already a few days later. His whole body was soaked. Chen, who was pregnant, suddenly became lonely and helpless. There were homeless people in the town who bullied her as a widow. She could not bear the harassment and could only stay indoors and could not do business.

Lin Yicheng saved Chen who was trying to commit suicide when he was passing by. After listening to her story, he immediately expressed his willingness to stay and take care of them and give her a new home.

"Haha, you're just after her beauty." Pi Fu curled her lips. Even though Chen was wearing coarse linen clothes and looked haggard, it was not difficult to tell that she was a beauty. If she hadn't fallen on hard times, it would have been natural for her to marry into a wealthy family.

Lin Yicheng was frank, "Everyone loves beauty. I admit that it was a bit despicable for me to take advantage of her, but I think I treated her very well, and I treated Niuniu as my own daughter. I tried my best to make them happy, which is better than letting her immerse herself in the sorrow of the past."

Ge Qinglan was deafened by these words, as if the dark clouds hanging over his head had suddenly dispersed. Yes, so what if Hua Miaomiao had liked someone else before, now she was hurt by that person, and it was him who stayed with her. As long as he treated her well, infinitely well, Hua Miaomiao would be moved by him sooner or later. So what if he took advantage of the opportunity, as long as the ending was happy. Even Bai Fuqiu understood this truth, but he had only figured it out now. He wanted to slap himself hard.

Thinking of this, he secretly reached out and held Hua Miaomiao's hand.

Hua Miaomiao was confused by his mood swings. When she thought that everyone in the room might be watching her, her face turned red and she tried to pull her hand back awkwardly.

Ge Qinglan ignored her struggle and held her hand tighter, thinking that he would never let go, not in this lifetime.

Pi Fu glanced at the two speechlessly, then turned her gaze to Lin Yicheng, "What's going on with that evil ghost?"

"It's Niuniu's damn father. He can't stand seeing our family of three enjoying each other's company, and he hates me for taking his place."

"How did you know? Did he tell you?"

"When the well was sealed, everything was fine. I thought it had been so long, so I unsealed it, and then strange things started happening at home. My wife said he must have crawled back from the bottom of the well."

"This man, no, this male ghost is really a piece of shit." Xiaoyu on the side couldn't help but sigh.

Zhao Xiaowu glanced at her and agreed, "That's right. As a man, he couldn't provide a stable life for his wife and children during his lifetime, and he still didn't know how to settle down after his death and came out to harm his family. He is really a presumptuous man, and extremely hateful."

Hua Miaomiao listened silently but smiled without saying anything. When did these two people become so in tune with each other?
