"In the Yu family, there was a water crossing in the third master's yard. The lady had just lost her child and was weak, lying in bed and unable to move." The ghost doll tried hard to recall the events of his life, and there was a hint of grievance when he spoke. "Because I, a ghost, can't touch living people, I could only hold a small cup and pour some water on the lady to prevent her from being burned."

Miss Mu Si remembered that incident and suddenly exclaimed, "Oh! I was told! There was a fire in the yard and no one came to put out the fire, but my bed is wet and dry here and there. So it was you who did it!"

The ghost doll blinked its beautiful eyes, played with two of its fingers, pouted, and answered with an innocent look: "There's nothing I can do about it! I'm a ghost now, so I can't touch my wife! Otherwise, what else can I do? Even watering the plants takes a lot of effort from me, a ghost!"

"You can't just water one side and leave the rest of the area dry!"

"But, but... Hell, I can only reach a tiny bit! It's all because of the bed, it's too high, I can't reach it!"

The fourth Miss Mu and the ghost doll, one big and one small, started arguing about the fire in the courtyard of the Yu Mansion.

"Fourth sister...how about you wait until we figure this out before you continue arguing with him?"

Mu Ning kindly reminded Miss Mu Si at the right time that they had not yet talked about serious matters. If the two of them continued to quarrel, they might not even be able to have dinner today.

After being reminded by her sister-in-law, Fourth Miss Mu finally remembered that she hadn't finished her serious talk yet. She urged the ghost doll, "Tell me, has anything else happened in the courtyard of the Third Master of the Yu Family?"

"Ah! Yes, they did! The second concubine's daughter died from eating too many cakes; the boy... he fell into a small pond and drowned. The maid's child miscarried because she fell and had a long bleeding. No medicine could stop it, and then she was burned with an iron. After that, she couldn't have children. Oh, and that jade? Jade, or something like that... She had asthma. Ever since she got caught in the rain and got sick with a high fever, her medicine was mixed with ephedra and rusty copper powder. That's why her health hasn't improved. No tonics have helped... All this is caused by the third concubine! She's really powerful!"

Every time the ghost doll spoke, Miss Mu's heart sank.

The more she listened, the more frightened she became!

In the early years, after Miss Mu Si and Yu San got married, two concubines were added to the courtyard, namely the second concubine Wen and the third concubine Liu. Both concubines were old servants serving Yu San.

In addition, there was a maidservant in Yu Sanfang who was a few years older than him. Miss Mu Si was kind enough to keep her in the courtyard because she had given birth to a daughter named Ruoyu.

When Yu San was still alive, Mrs. Wen had a son and a daughter; the maidservant had a daughter and a son who had a miscarriage; and Miss Mu Si also had a miscarriage of a son.

After his death, Miss Mu gave birth to a sickly posthumous child.

Now, after hearing what the ghost doll said, Fourth Miss Mu suddenly understood.

It turns out that the third branch of the Yu family has never had any offspring. Even if they did have children, none of them lived past the age of three. It was all because of her, Liu, who was interfering!
