"Hong Zai, give me one too, and the designated person is Daya!"

Xiao Hong curled her lips and said, "Okay, you are really good. You spent fifty years of incense on a small world. Are you just wasting money?"

However, Lu Changning did not back down or show weakness in response to Xiaohong's accusation. On the contrary, he righteously retorted: "Xiaohong, as weak ghosts, can we only accept and swallow our anger to be bullied by the big ghosts? Others have united to bully us. If we don't fight back, won't we be at their mercy? Will there be a place for us in the underworld in the future? Absolutely not! I want to let them know that even if we are schemed and bullied, we can still live well in this world."

Xiao Hong was full of doubts, and couldn't understand why this matter was so important. You know, that was fifty years of incense! An ordinary ghost messenger could collect so much in a small world. But despite his confusion, he finally decided to complete the exchange according to Lu Changning's request.

Xiaohong was quick and came back with the things in a short while.

Lu Changning suddenly asked, "By the way, who did you send the remaining soul to? Although I am not in good health now, I should be able to protect him."

"I'm so touched. You're almost paralyzed in bed, but you can still remember the little remnant soul." Xiao Hong threw the mind-reading technique to Lu Changning: "The body that the remnant soul is inhabiting this time is quite famous. It's a boy named Datou. Oh, he's the one who cheated on you and eloped with your wife."

"Cough cough cough cough!" Lu Changning finally took a sip of water, but spat it all out.

He suppressed his cough and looked at Xiaohong in disbelief: "Are you saying that Daya's childhood sweetheart is a remnant soul?"

"That's right, the remnant soul floated onto him, and I couldn't catch it even if I wanted to. Oh, you two have such a bad fate. In this life, you have turned from lovers to rivals. It's quite exciting!" Xiaohong grinned. From the moment the remnant soul entered Datou's body, he was waiting to see Lu Changning's reaction.

Lu Changning wanted to vomit blood at this moment. He didn't understand how the relationship between these few people could be so chaotic. How could this remnant soul be in the body of that madman?

"He seduced my wife. Even if I let him go, my parents won't let him go! How can I save him?"

Xiao Hong suggested: "Why don't you just let this ill-fated couple fly away, it will be better for everyone."

"Well, it would be great if this were really possible. In the original plot, these two people escaped for three or four days, but were still caught. Wherever there are people, they are controlled by the plot. I want to help them break free from the constraints of the plot, but it's not easy with my small body!" If the backlash came, he was afraid that he would immediately turn into dry bones.

Lu Changning suddenly had an idea: "Tell me, if I castrate Datou, can I save his life? People around him can't label Datou an adulterer! He can get rid of the control of the plot. Although he may not be happy, he will definitely live longer."

Sometimes Xiao Hong wanted to see what was in Lu Changning's head and how he came up with such a wicked idea: "Well, good idea, the day after the big head is castrated, you will become headless."

Lu Changning touched the still warm head on his neck and had to put this idea aside. There was no other way, he quite liked this head of his.

Lu Changning hadn't really figured out what to do now: "Let's take it one step at a time!"

While he was enjoying the sun and the quiet time, he suddenly heard hurried footsteps at the door. Lu Changning turned around and saw Daya trotting towards him. He had a smile on his face and was ready to say hello to Daya, but when he saw Daya's appearance clearly, the smile froze on his face.

At this moment, Daya was wet all over, her clothes were covered with mud, and she looked very embarrassed. Not only that, her eyes were still shining with tears, as if she had just cried. Lu Changning's heart tightened, and with the help of the servant Xiao Fuzi beside him, he stood up with difficulty, frowning, staring at Daya who was getting closer and closer to him.

Daya staggered back, her heart filled with endless grievances and pain, but she had nowhere to vent. She just wanted to find a safe corner as soon as possible, hide herself deeply, away from everyone's sight. However, fate always seemed to like to play tricks on people. When she stepped into the courtyard, her eyes happened to meet Lu Changning who was standing in the courtyard.

Instantly, Daya's mood became more and more panic. Her heartbeat accelerated sharply, and her mind was filled with all kinds of chaotic thoughts: What should I do? I came back in such a mess, will he be annoyed with me? I made my mother-in-law unhappy when I just came here, and I was scolded by the nanny. He must think that I embarrassed him, and he might beat me like in the dream!

Daya's body trembled involuntarily. She tried desperately to suppress the fear in her heart, but the indescribable tension followed her like a shadow, making her almost breathless. She bit her lips tightly, trying to distract herself in this way, and at the same time hoping to cover up her inner uneasiness.

But I couldn't hold it back, and tears still fell uncontrollably drop by drop.

Lu Changning listened to Daya's crying voice and sighed slightly, without wanting to expose her stubbornness: "Did you fall into the river? Why are you so wet? Go in and change into clean clothes!"

These words made Daya feel as if she had been pardoned. She ran quickly towards the room. Suddenly, she heard a man's angry voice in her ears: "On the first day of her marriage, the new bride was treated harshly by the maid in the mansion. Was this her mother's intention or did they act on their own? It seems that she has to punish those stubborn slaves."

When Daya heard this, she turned around in surprise and looked at the man standing in the sun. His lips did not move, but she could hear his voice, just like last night.

Daya couldn't help but think: "He actually said that he would punish Mammy for me? He didn't even blame me! Could it be that he cares about me at all? But how is that possible? In the dream, he wanted to beat her to death."

Daya walked into the room confused. Sometimes, she really couldn't tell the difference between dreams and reality.

After the wet person left, Lu Changning walked towards his mother's yard with the support of Xiao Fuzi. He had to go and talk to his mother.

No one else knew about the conversation between the mother and son that day. All they knew was that after the conversation, the maids in charge of the mistress's courtyard were severely punished, and some even left the Lu family directly.

After all this hard work, Lu Changning successfully fell ill. He lay on the bed, unconscious and confused, as if he was tied tightly in his body with several soul-binding chains. He wanted to die but couldn't.

It was three days later when I regained consciousness.

As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw my mother with a haggard face and dark eyes, and Daya standing beside her timidly.

Lu Changning stretched out his hand and gently placed it on his mother's hand. This action made the woman who had been worried feel relieved.

Daya left. Mother Lu gently wiped away the tears from her eyes and looked at her son who had just woken up in bed. She said with a sad and angry tone, "It's all mother's fault. She believed the Taoist priest's words to bring you good luck. You got sick on the first day of your marriage. This Daya is really not a good person. I think I should send her away early to prevent her from causing trouble for you at home."

Lu Changning forced a smile with difficulty: "Mother, it was wrong to have a wedding to bring good luck. It has already hurt Daya. Now you are sending her away, isn't that making things even worse? My son feels fine now, so please keep her here to entertain me."

Mother Lu turned away, feeling sad: "Ah Niang just found out a few days ago that she was deceived by this family. They said that this girl was already sixteen years old, but who knew that she was only twelve years old. This family is full of treacherous people. How can I feel at ease leaving a girl like this with you?"

Lu Changning smiled and comforted her softly, "Mother, I already knew this. I told you on the day Daya got married. Mother, if you send Daya back now, her reputation will be ruined. I'm afraid she will be sold to a brothel by her parents in the future. Keeping her in the mansion is a good deed. I won't treat her as my wife, just as a sister. When she grows up, I'll change her status and let her get married."

Mother Lu looked at her sickly son and was filled with grief: "God is so cruel to my son! My son is kind and knowledgeable, but why did he have such a sickly body? He is obviously a child of unicorn, but he is destined to have such a sickly body. I cannot accept this!"

Lu Changning held his mother's shoulders and patted her gently: "Mother, don't be sad for me. I am lucky to be your and father's child. How can I expect anything else? Mother, don't cry for me. Life and death are determined by fate. We can't force it. Give me a brother or sister! It's too lonely for me to be alone."

Madam Lu slapped Lu Changning and said, "Silly child, your father and I are so old, how can we have another child?"

Lu Changning smiled and said, "Yes, they will. I just went to the underworld while half asleep and half awake. But there are many people calling my brother. They will come."

Mother Lu just smiled. She had checked her body in the early years and knew that it was not easy to get pregnant. She had already tried every possible means to have Lu Changning, so how could she dare to hope for anything more?

Lu Changning didn't say anything. After Lu's mother left, he stretched out his hand, and suddenly a red petal appeared out of thin air. The petal was as soft as silk and fiery red. If Xiaohong was here, she would definitely shout that it was familiar. Because this was his hair.

Red spider lily is a plant that is unique to the underworld and is the most yin thing. It is the most loved by the yin spirits. As long as Mrs. Lu eats the petals, she will not be afraid of having no soul to reincarnate.

Lu Changning just secretly checked her pulse and found that Mrs. Lu was in good health and it would be no problem for her to have a child. As long as they had a new child, they would have something new to look forward to. Then, when the day came for Lu Changning to leave, the two of them would be able to accept it more peacefully!

As his mind moved slightly, there was a noise coming from the door. Lu Changning turned his palm over and the petal disappeared in his hand.

Daya came in with a bowl of bitter medicine. When Lu Changning saw the medicine, his brows frowned.

[This medicine is too bitter, it would be better if it had sugar]

Daya's eyes slowly opened wide, her heart filled with surprise. She had never expected that Mr. Lu, who was not young anymore, would be afraid of bitterness! She stared at Lu Changning intently, only to see him frown, pick up the bowl and drink it all without hesitation.

Lu Changning's face showed a heroic expression, as if he had just drunk a bowl of ordinary boiled water. However, in sharp contrast to his appearance, deep in his heart he was crying and shouting loudly about the pain. This huge contrast moved Daya, and her originally tense expression gradually relaxed and became much gentler.

Daya picked up the medicine bowl and was about to leave, but suddenly heard Lu Changning's voice.

[Alas, Daya is so pitiful. She is so well-behaved and capable, how could she have such parents! How wonderful it would be if she were my daughter! I would definitely hold her in my hands and coax and pamper her every day, leaving the best food for her, and raise her into a chubby little princess. Wherever I go, I will show off to others: "Look, this is my precious daughter!" Let everyone know that I have such a lovely daughter, how happy I would be! ]

[I really hope that Daya can be reborn in my family, but fate is so cruel that she was born in the Gu family. If Daya knew that her parents used her betrothal gift to help her elder and second brothers get married, how painful and sad she would be! They are both their own flesh and blood, why is her parents' love so partial? I think she must have suffered a lot of grievances since she was a child...]

Daya took the bowl and walked to the door step by step. Gradually, the man's gentle voice could no longer be heard. But Daya's eyes were red.

This is the first time in all these years that someone has said that she was wronged.

Since she was a child, Daya was the one who got up the earliest and went to bed the latest in the family. Every day, before dawn, when her elder and second brothers were still asleep, she had to struggle out of bed and start a busy day of cooking. This was not just about cooking for the family, but also preparing food for the livestock that also needed to eat. When night fell, Daya still couldn't rest, she had to weave straw sandals and baskets with her father to supplement the family income. Day after day, year after year, Daya grew up day by day.

She also felt it was unfair and went to ask her parents why her brothers could get up so late and why they didn't have to do these chores.

Her mother always told her that her brothers were supposed to study and that they would become masters in the future, so why would they do such work? Daya was puzzled and asked her mother why she couldn't study. But she was beaten by her mother for no reason.

Daya felt wronged, so she went to the street to tell her friends about it. They all thought it was strange: "Why do you, a girl, study?"
