Congratulations to player Lianwu for completing the hidden mission: Corpse in the Well.

[Quest Reward: Mu Huai Niang's Rotten Corpse x1, Past Event x1, 500 points.]

As the system broadcast ended, a highly decomposed corpse gradually floated out of the dry well.

There was almost no flesh left on the corpse, with white bones exposed and a few pieces of rotten flesh barely hanging on it. From time to time, white maggots would wriggle out from inside.

A corroded eyeball had fallen out and was floating to the side. A bit of long hair from the scalp was still clinging to the skull, and the face was so severely decayed that it was completely unrecognizable from its original appearance.

Fortunately, although the clothes were torn, they could still be seen as women's clothes.

According to the system's report, this rotten corpse is Mu Huai Niang.

But according to them, Mu Huai Niang died due to a curse, but now she has floated up from this dry well.

The two men had no intention of salvaging the rotten corpse. Firstly, they had no tools, and secondly, the remaining rotten flesh would most likely be dropped during the salvage process, making it even more difficult to observe.

"The skull and ribs were broken in multiple places. The cracks on the skull looked like they had been struck by a sharp object. Mu Huai Niang didn't look like she was cursed, but rather like she had been beaten to death."

Feng Ling suppressed his nausea and observed the corpse. The corpse in the previous copy was disgusting enough to make him feel sick, but he didn't expect that he couldn't escape in the business copy.

The foul smell that went straight to the top of his head made Feng Ling dizzy and his stomach churned, but he had not eaten anything else since drinking the bowl of ginger soup in the morning, so he couldn't vomit anything even if he wanted to.

Lian Wu also felt uncomfortable. He could accept the smell of blood, but this indescribable stench really affected his mood.

"Did Mu Huai Niang jump into this well on her own initiative, or was she thrown in? System, let's put the past aside for a moment."

Lian Wu didn't expect to find more information from this rotten corpse. It would be better to look into the past first. Maybe it would reveal the cause of Mu Huai Niang's death.

【The past has been opened.】

042's voice sounded, telling them the past events in a very moving voice.

[Mu Huai Niang's original name was Xu Ling. She moved to the capital with her parents when she was 16 years old. Her father was an ordinary carpenter and her mother was from the Wu family. However, due to the decline of that branch, her mother did not learn the art of witchcraft. Instead, Xu Ling was very interested in it.

She secretly read the books her mother brought with her, learning the art of witchcraft. Xu Ling was beautiful. Although she came from an ordinary merchant family, she had the temperament of a lady from a noble family.

But this beauty brought her disaster. The head of the Ye family, Ye Jing, was the current Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. At that time, he had not yet taken the position of Minister, but relied on his family's wealth to bully men and women everywhere.

When Xu Ling was 17, the Ye family was preparing to renovate their bridal chamber in preparation for Ye Jing's future marriage to a daughter of a prominent family. Xu Ling's father, one of the many carpenters hired, fell from the beams of the Ye family's roof one rainy day, pierced by a piece of wood that had not yet been cleared from the ground.

Blood flowed all over the floor. The Ye family, feeling unlucky, sent Xu Ling and her mother to drag the body away. Since someone had died in the bridal chamber, it would inevitably be unused, and the Ye family used this as an excuse to refuse compensation to the Xu family. It was also at that moment that Ye Jing saw Xu Ling, weeping bitterly.

Ye Jing did not show up, hiding outside the house and watching the beautiful girl kneeling in his bridal chamber, her snow-white clothes stained red with blood, as if she were wearing a wedding dress. Ye Jing immediately had evil intentions. After Xu Ling left the Ye family with her father's body, he pretended to be a kind passerby, paid for her father's burial, and took meticulous and considerate care of Xu Ling and her mother.

Xu Ling had never met the son of the Ye family, so she naturally didn't know that he had a grudge against her. The gentle, considerate, and kind young man quickly captured the girl's heart. Ye Jing knew that she was going to succeed.

While Xu's mother was away, he got Xu Ling drunk and did something dirty... Unexpectedly, Xu's mother left something behind and came back suddenly, only to see her daughter, who depended on her for everything, being bullied by this beast in human skin.

Xu's mother immediately rushed forward to fight Ye Jing desperately, but how could a weak mother possibly defeat such a strong man? Xu's mother was hit to death by a chair in the room, and died with her eyes open. Ye Jing continued to violate Xu Ling in front of the corpse.

After the lovemaking, he buried Xu's mother's body in the vegetable patch and cleaned up the bloodstains in the house before Ye Jing left. When Xu Ling woke up, she discovered she had been violated and found a sachet left by Ye Jing in the corner of her bed.

She was terrified. In this era, losing a girl's virginity before marriage was despised, regardless of her wishes. Xu Ling hid in her room, hoping to wait for her mother to return, to cry to her only relative. But she never waited, and her mother disappeared from Xu Ling's world.

Later, Xu Ling took the sachet to look for the criminal while asking around for his mother's whereabouts. Ye Jing panicked and told his parents about the incident. His parents did not blame him, but sent someone to throw Xu Ling out of the city on a dark and windy night.

Xu Ling walked in the mountains for a long time and eventually strayed into Nanhulugou Village...

Just when Xu Ling thought the future was getting better, the villagers discovered the sachet. The man who usually went to the capital to buy things recognized the owner of the sachet. He had seen the wealth of the Ye family before. With evil intentions, he told the other brothers about it.

Finally one day they teamed up to kill Xu Ling, tied her body with stones and threw it into a well.

Bai Yan's sister also couldn't escape. She was knocked unconscious by these men a few years ago and sold to human traffickers.

All of this was seen by Bai Yan who was hiding. His thin body was trembling behind the haystack, and he was gritting his teeth for fear of making any sound.

The men claimed that Mu Huai Niang was cursed and had been reduced to ashes. Bai Yan didn't dare to tell the truth, because even if he did, he would not be able to avenge his mother.

After returning, Bai Yan left Nanhulugou Village with the support of the village chief and several other villagers. During those years, he not only learned to play the piano, but also learned witchcraft.

That day, the Liu family hosted a banquet for many rich young men at Yunming Tower. Bai Yan secretly saw the list of names. Those who killed Mu Huai Niang got money from sachets and were taken in by the Ye family as servants. They came with Ye Wende that day.

Bai Yan thought, maybe he could take revenge...

A strange thing happened, and the servants were tortured to death in the chaos. Bai Yan used his own life to exchange for this revenge.

042 almost lost control of his emotions when he read the last part. After finishing, he quickly turned off the microphone and cursed "bastard" in a crying voice.

"Sister, tell me quickly, tell me this is not true."

042 hoped that 002 would say that this matter was fictional and that Xu Ling did not have such a miserable life.

But 002 couldn't lie to him, "We have to face it."

002 To this day, I still remember the scene when the designer of the Rich Family copy met Xu Ling in spirit.
