After taking two steps to the side, Jiang Fugui sat down on the right side of Miss Mu Si.

Meanwhile, the ghost doll sat in front of the small square table between the two of them. He still kept his head down, but his little body was shaking even more violently.

"I felt sorry for him and couldn't bear it, so I asked my maid to secretly bring him medicine. Later, I met him a few more times, and after getting to know him, I found out that he was actually abducted from another place by human traffickers. Because he was young, he couldn't remember where his home was."

Fourth Miss Mu took a sip of tea and sighed, "On a daily basis, those traffickers always made him do all sorts of fraudulent things. Whenever he refused or didn't get enough money, he would be beaten and punished. Living under those traffickers, you can imagine how hard it was. At that time, my late husband and I didn't have any children of our own. After some discussion, we wanted to redeem him and bring him back home. However, fate played a trick on us..."

"You didn't redeem it?"

Jiang Fugui lowered his eyes and looked at the ghost doll beside his legs. He seemed to be crying.

"It's true that we couldn't redeem him." Miss Mu nodded and continued, "By the time my husband and I found the place, the child had already been beaten to death by human traffickers. His beautiful eyes had been gouged out, his mouth had been scalded with hot oil, and there wasn't a single part of his body that was intact... We found a maid and buried him properly..."

Jiang Fugui took the Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup brought by Fourth Miss Mu and ate it mouthful after mouthful.

When all the elders in the room were looking at her, she reluctantly put down the bowl, licked her rosy lips and said, "That little boy must be around four or five years old. Because of malnutrition, his hair is sparse, his skin is dark yellow, and he looks a bit shorter than his peers. Moreover, besides his eyes being gouged out and his mouth being burned, he's also missing a little finger."

Upon hearing this, Fourth Miss Mu was so surprised that she couldn't believe what she heard: "Second Miss Jiang, you...how do you know what he looks like?"

In fact, several years had passed since the incident, and Miss Mu Si could hardly remember what the child looked like.

At first, I would only dream of him occasionally in the middle of the night, and be awakened by the fright of his appearance before death.

Later, she had her own children and never dreamed of him again.

Jiang Fugui pursed her lips and smiled at the elders. The little boy that Fourth Miss Mu mentioned was sitting beside her legs at this moment. How could she not know?

"Second Miss, you have been looking down at your feet since just now. Is there something there?"

Mu Ning had been staring at Jiang Fugui since before. Seeing her looking down at her feet from time to time, she felt confused and asked casually.

"Uh." Jiang Fugui was stunned for a moment, and almost blurted out, "A ghost..."

With just four words, everyone in the main room except Jiang Fugui was startled and hid backwards unconsciously.

Mu Ning swallowed her saliva and said tremblingly: "Ghost, ghost? Is he right at your feet? He, he..."

Fourth Miss Mu was frozen in place, not daring to move, and trembling with fear: "Jiang, Second Miss Jiang, please don't joke around."

"Aunt Mu Si, he's the little boy you just mentioned." Jiang Fugui pointed to his feet, where no one could see. "He's crying right now! I guess he's thinking about that bad experience."

Originally, Fourth Miss Mu hadn't understood, but then she realized what was going on and stammered, "Is it him, him? Didn't he...die a long time ago? Why is he here? No, no...shouldn't he be reincarnated?"
