Hiding her pregnancy and divorce, she stopped licking and the general panicked

Su Yujiao's face was pale, her eyes were slightly red, her fists were clenched, and her nails were deeply dug into her palms, as if she was trying her best to endure.

The maids were so frightened that they fell silent and knelt on the ground begging for mercy.

Su Yujiao walked to Chunmei's side and tried to calm herself down: "Come with me."

"Young Madam, I just said something wrong. Please forgive me." Chunmei was so scared that she kowtowed continuously.

"When did the general go to the haunted temple?"

Chunmei spoke incoherently: "Young Madam, I was just talking nonsense."

"Xiao Tao, take her indenture and sell her to the brothel."

Huayao is the lowest-class brothel in the red-light district. The environment is dirty and messy, and most of the clients are peddlers and laborers.

"No, no, please spare my life, Madam."

"This servant... This servant heard it from Xiaoliu half a year ago."

"half year ago?"

"Yes, that's...that's after you were punished by the family discipline...the family discipline."

Chunmei originally wanted to say that he was whipped, but she was afraid of angering Su Yujiao, so she hesitated and changed her words.

Su Yujiao's expression became even uglier. Indeed, his attitude changed drastically after she whipped him in public.

I originally thought that he would readily agree to a divorce, but I didn't expect that not only would he refuse to divorce, he would also lower his stance and be nice to her.

She couldn't understand why he refused to divorce.

I used to think he was just too possessive, but now it seems there might be something else going on.

"Do you know the location of the ghost temple?"

Chunmei hesitated for a long time, and finally nodded: "When I was a child, I went up the mountain with my mother to burn incense. It was raining and I got lost. I went there accidentally once."

"I can't guarantee that I can find it."

"Take me there."

Su Yujiao and the other two walked through layers of dense forests. Birds chirped in the forest and the air was filled with the scent of soil and rotten leaves.

The deeper you go, the quieter it becomes, giving people a gloomy and ancient feeling.

The three of them wandered around in the forest for a long time and finally saw a dilapidated temple.

In front of the temple stands a towering old tree, covered with red silk and wooden plaques. A wisp of smoke rises slowly from a corner of the temple.

When Su Yujiao walked to the temple gate, she found that the stone lion at the door was extremely strange. It was a two-headed lion with a green face and fangs, and looked very ferocious.

Su Yujiao frowned. In such a strange temple, who was enshrined here, a god or a ghost?

"Let's go in and take a look."

Chunmei hesitated and didn't dare to go in. She heard that this place was very weird!

However, when she looked at the strange two-headed stone lion and the gloomy dense forest behind it, she was even more afraid to be alone at the temple gate.

"Miss, these red silks and wooden plaques have words on them."

Su Yujiao glanced at a few of them casually. Some were praying for marriage, some for safety, some for wealth, and some for good fortune.

Without exception, these red silks and wooden signs all had a strong smell of blood.

Su Yujiao leaned closer to smell it, then suddenly let go and took a few steps back.

These red silks are actually dyed with blood. How many people’s blood is needed to dye this tree full of red silk?

"Miss, what's wrong?"

Su Yujiao endured the nauseating feeling and waved her hands palely.

"fine."

"These red cloths and wooden signs were dyed with blood."

Xiaotao widened her eyes in horror, and Chunmei was even more frightened.

"Young Madam, let's go back. I heard from the village witch that people who come to the ghost temple to pray are offering their own blood to the evil gods."

"It turns out...it's all true."

Su Yujiao insisted on going in to take a look. Since Lu Ziqian and Chen Yunniang dared to go in, there was nothing she shouldn't dare to do.

"You two wait outside, I'll go in myself."

"My lady, I will accompany you."

Chunmei also went in, she didn't dare to be outside alone.

There was no one in the temple, but smoke was coming out of the chimney. This ghost temple was indeed weird.

The three of them came to the largest main temple, where a strange statue was enshrined. It had two heads and six eyes, and its face was as hideous and ferocious as the stone lions outside.

In front of the statue were black ceramic jars with notes stuck on them that looked like people's names.

"Miss, it says Chen Yunniang here." Xiaotao pointed to one of the jars.

Su Yujiao stood in front of the jar, staring at the three words "Chen Yunniang", her face as pale as paper.

Lu Ziqian wants to lend her life to Chen Yunniang?

Although Chunmei was afraid, her curiosity overcame everything at this moment. Could it be... could it be that she had guessed it right?

Su Yujiao's hands trembled as she tried to open the jar. Xiao Tao's voice was choked with fear: "Miss, let's...let's go back."

"Don't touch anything in the temple."

She was really afraid that there might be a birth chart in it that could be used to borrow someone's life. She wondered how sad the young lady would be if she saw it.

The general is trying to tear out the lady's heart!

Su Yujiao hesitated for a second, but finally opened the jar and saw what was inside.

There was a cross inside, with straw dolls tied to both sides, each with its birth date written on it.

Attached to the bottom of the cross is a compass with the words life and death written on it.

The word "life" is placed under the feet of the doll representing Chen Yunniang, and the word "death" is placed under the feet of the doll representing Su Yujiao.

Su Yujiao saw everything clearly and was so scared that she dropped the things in her hands, covered her ears and screamed in disbelief.

Although she didn't believe in ghosts and gods, what she saw before her proved that Lu Ziqian wanted to kill her.

"Miss, this... this must be a misunderstanding."

"This must be Chen Yunniang's trick, General... General, I absolutely have no intention of harming you."

Xiao Tao tried to persuade him, but she didn't even believe what he said.

Chunmei stood aside, not knowing how to persuade her. She just felt that the young lady was so pitiful, just like the new daughter-in-law next door, who had met the wrong person.

After Su Yujiao collapsed, she gradually calmed down: "Take the jar and follow me."

The three of them returned to the general's mansion and went straight to find Zhou.

"What is this?"

Su Yujiao looked at Zhou and wanted to speak but tears came to her eyes before she could say anything. Xiaotao then told her the whole story.

Zhou was so frightened that she quickly threw away the strange doll in her hand.

"That's impossible. Old Seven would never do such a thing."

"Absolutely not!"

Zhou was extremely convinced of this because she understood her son.

"Conspiracy, this... this must be Chen Yunniang's conspiracy."

"Jiaojiao, don't let that scheming woman instigate you."

"If you fall into her trap, she'll be happy."

Su Yujiao's eyes were blurred with tears, and tears filled her eyelashes: "Mother, he first abandoned me to those bandits, and now he is conspiring with the woman outside to kill me."

"How can you let me trust him?"

"If you really care about me, please let me go."

"I really can't live in this house anymore. My eldest brother is still waiting for me to save him, and my parents are still waiting for me to take care of them in their old age."

"I can't die, especially not because of my husband's scheme."

Zhou was completely distracted by Su Yujiao's heartbroken expression.

No one can accept such a thing!

"Where's the seventh brother? Call him over quickly." Zhou shouted anxiously outside the door.
