Maybe I shouldn't die.

"Later, your father stayed in bed for half a month. He was so angry that he kept threatening to divorce your mother. Her family also thought that she was too impulsive. If she hadn't done something too extreme before, her husband wouldn't have cheated on her and caused such a thing.

How could your mother tolerate such humiliation? Without even waiting for the end of her confinement period, she went to the town to find someone to write a letter of divorce, threw it to your father, packed up her things and left.

She came to see me before she left. Your mother wanted to take you away, but she was penniless and had just finished her confinement. She couldn't take care of a baby who had just turned one month old, so she could only ask me to help look after you when I was free.

Your mother has good ideas. Grandma is a soft-hearted person, but she is not a vicious person. Even if she hates her, she will not abuse her granddaughter. You will always have food to eat, so there will be no problem growing up."

Although Li Niang had never seen her mother, she felt that she was a courageous and decisive woman.

The old woman continued:

"She was right. You didn't have a good life, but you grew up. She came back to me the year you came of age, gave me a bag of silver, and asked me to help you find a good husband.

I think you have a good personality and looks, and you work efficiently. However, given your family's situation, we will definitely not give you a dowry. But with your mother's money, you will not be short of a dowry.

I asked her how my son was doing, and she was a little surprised, but she still agreed. She said marrying into my family would be better than marrying into someone else's family, and I would never abuse her daughter.

Li Niang was curious: "I know you have a good personality, mother-in-law, but the friendship we have had since childhood is not enough for you to be so good to me."

"Of course, it's not enough to just rely on the friendship we've had since childhood. Your mother saved my life. One year, my brother pushed me into the water. The pond was remote and few people would go there. It was your mother who passed by and saved me."

After saying this, the old woman patted Li Niang kindly.

"Okay, don't think too much. You just gave birth, go to bed early, and I'm going to cook."

The dinner was simple, with sweet potato rice, stir-fried vegetables and a chicken. Zhan Li guessed that the chicken was specially killed for the guests.

After dinner, Fang Yue returned to the room assigned to her. She was thinking. While listening to the old woman telling a story, she felt her inspiration moving again, but she soon calmed down. She carefully recalled the whole story but could not find any clues.

She sighed and decided to let things take their own course. Since inspiration had brought her here, the truth would eventually come out.

She took out the formation and set it up, and was about to practice, when she suddenly sensed resentment in the yard. She immediately got up and walked out of the room. The source of the resentment was Li Niang's room. At this moment, the door of the room where Li Niang was was wide open.

She rushed in without hesitation and saw a black shadow lying above Li Niang, sucking something. She immediately took out a talisman and attacked the black shadow.

The talisman paper flew onto the black shadow, and suddenly there was a flash of fire. The black shadow let out a shrill scream and escaped through the window. Fang Yue immediately stood up and chased after him.

The black shadow was moving very fast. Fang Yue did not care about anything else at this moment. He immediately controlled the flying sword to chase after it. It was dark, and the trace of the black shadow was not easy to find. Fang Yue chased the black shadow to a forest, and then he could no longer find any trace of the black shadow.

She wandered around in the woods for a long time but didn't find any clues. She could only sigh, get up and turn back to see how the woman was doing. She was in a hurry to chase the shadow last night and didn't have time to check.

When she returned to the old woman's house, the sky was already turning pale. She had actually spent a whole night chasing after the black shadow.

The old woman and her family had been waiting in the yard. Their eyes were red from staying up all night, presumably because they hadn't slept the whole night. When they saw Fang Yue coming back, everyone in the yard couldn't help but look expectant.

They were awakened by a shrill scream last night. When they went out, they only saw Fang Yue flying away hurriedly on a sword. Only immortals could fly in the sky. Thinking of the previous shrill and creepy scream, how could they continue to sleep?

Fang Yue landed her sword in the courtyard. Since she had already been exposed last night, there was no need to cover it up again.

As soon as she landed, the old woman immediately led everyone in kneeling and bowing to her.

"We didn't know the Immortal was coming. We were negligent. Please forgive us."

Fang Yue dodged the greeting by moving sideways and waved her sleeves to ask them to stand straight. This action made everyone treat her with even more respect.

The old woman was braver and asked:

"I don't know what happened last night that caused the immortal to take action." Looking at the immortal's previous performance, she knew that he obviously did not want to reveal his identity.

Thinking that the incident happened in their home, Fang Yue had to ask them some questions, and she did not hide anything.

"Last night, a dark figure sneaked into Li Niang's room. I found him, beat him up, and he ran away."

"Li Niang," the old woman's face turned pale after hearing Fang Yue's explanation. She didn't care about being rude and rushed into Li Niang's room. Li Niang didn't wake up last night, and she thought she was too tired after giving birth and fell asleep. She just took a few quick glances and came out.

Fang Yue followed the old woman into Li Niang's room. The old woman rushed straight to Li Niang's bed and called her anxiously.

"Li Niang, Li Niang, wake up."

Seeing that the woman didn't react, she couldn't help but her eyes reddened and she was about to cry.

At this time, the woman on the bed woke up slowly. When she opened her eyes, she saw so many people surrounding the bed. Her face was full of confusion.

"Mom, what's going on?"

Hearing Li Niang's voice, the old woman's eyes suddenly showed joy and she hugged the woman.

"Li Niang, I'm so glad you're okay."

The woman's face was filled with confusion. She had just taken a nap, so what had happened? But seeing her mother so excited, she could only keep patting the old woman's back to try to comfort her.

After they calmed down a little, Fang Yue spoke:

"Can you let me see Li Niang?"

The old woman reacted immediately after hearing what was said. She stood up and made way. Fang Yue came to the bed and took a closer look. The woman had a rosy complexion and looked very healthy.

But this was not normal. After all, the woman had just given birth yesterday, and it was impossible for her to recover so quickly. She held the woman's hand and probed into her with a trace of spiritual power.

She was surprised to find that the woman was in perfect health, and even some injuries from giving birth yesterday had disappeared completely.

She was a little confused when she arrived at their house yesterday. The woman had given birth to eight babies in a row, and the ages of the boys were not much different. It could almost be said that she had been pregnant and giving birth to children continuously. She had also checked the woman's body when she gave birth, and except for her weak constitution, she had no other problems.

But this woman was indeed just a mortal, and there was nothing abnormal in her body. She also checked other people in the family and did not find anything abnormal, so she thought that the woman had a special physique. There are so many people in this world, and it is not impossible that there are a few with particularly good recovery abilities.
