The richest man's parents were kidnapped, and his adorable son captivated the entire family.

"You've begged for mercy far too many times!" With a wave of his hand, Daoist Ziyang ruthlessly sent Tian Tian back to the road under the tree.

Looking up at the Purple Sun Daoist high above, Tian Tian knelt down on both knees with a thud. "Immortal, I know I was wrong. This is truly the last time I will act on my own!"

Her head hit the ground with a thud. In her panic, she didn't care whether Aunt Xue and Aunt Ping would find out.

Her pleas for mercy were like a brief moment of guilt for Daoist Ziyang after his secret was exposed.

"This time, you're the one who made this mess, so good luck and solve your own problems!"

The words lingered in the air, and the Purple Sun Taoist vanished in an instant.

Aunt Xue went up to the second floor but didn't find Tian Tian, ​​so she looked down again. That's when she saw Tian Tian kneeling in the courtyard.

Three minutes ago, she clearly didn't see her in the yard, so how did she suddenly reappear there?

Aunt Xue hurriedly ran downstairs. As soon as she stepped out of the living room, she heard Tian Tian crying, interspersed with words she couldn't understand.

"Miss Sweetie!" Aunt Xue called out worriedly.

Sweetie turned around in surprise. She looked at Aunt Xue, who was staring at her in horror, and guessed that the immortal was really angry this time and would really not care about her anymore.

She remained kneeling there blankly, unsure whether to stand up or what to say.

After a few seconds of this state, she suddenly went berserk.

"Don't catch me!"

Her angry shouts echoed from the blackboard. Aunt Xue, who already felt something was off, was startled by her sudden outburst and looked around frantically.

In the dim moonlight, the branches swaying in the wind cast blurry shadows on the ground and walls. Aunt Xue felt a chill and reached up to pull her clothes tighter around her chest.

"Miss Sweetie, it's cold and dark outside, let's go back first," Aunt Xue said, mustering her courage.

"You have to take me away, but I don't want to go!" Sweetie waved her hands, some of which landed on Aunt Xue's outstretched arm.

Aunt Xue dared not go any further. She stopped in place and looked timidly at Tian Tian, ​​who seemed to be possessed by something evil.

"Miss Sweetie, there's no one here. What's wrong with you?"

He reached out halfway, then remembered what had just happened and pulled his hand back.

"Take her away, please, don't take me, take her, she's willing to go with you!" Sweetie roared at the air, then suddenly pointed at Aunt Xue, before crouching down in fear and covering her head.

Aunt Xue, who was being accused, was also filled with fear. She dared not look anywhere, for fear of seeing something she shouldn't have and losing her life.

"Miss Sweetie, let's go inside first." Aunt Xue forced herself to step forward and grab Sweetie's arm.

The bizarre thing she had expected didn't happen, and she quickly took advantage of the moment when Sweetie stopped shouting and pulled her arm to walk into the living room.

As soon as they went inside, Sweetie started her gossip again.

"Close the door quickly, he's coming in, he's taking us all away with him."

Aunt Xue was drenched in cold sweat, standing frozen in place, too afraid to turn around. But seeing Tian Tian's expression and reaction only fueled her fear.

"What are you doing?"

A sound came from the stairs, and Aunt Xue's scream instantly echoed throughout the Gu residence.

Aunt Ping covered her forehead, looking at Aunt Xue, who was covered in sweat and looked frightened, with surprise and confusion.

"What's wrong?" Aunt Ping stepped forward and took Aunt Xue's hand.

Feeling the warmth, Aunt Xue slowly raised her head.

It wasn't a ghost after all!

She let out a heavy breath, opened her arms and hugged Aunt Ping tightly, murmuring, "Thank goodness, thank goodness..."

Suddenly, Tian Tian pushed the two away and ran upstairs.

Aunt Ping had just arrived and didn't know what had happened between them while she was away. Watching Tian Tian's departing figure, she only assumed that Tian Tian had been upset and run away in anger.

Aunt Xue, on the other hand, felt chilly all over and clung to Aunt Ping, refusing to let go.

"What happened? Why do you look so scared?" Aunt Ping asked.

Seeing that Aunt Xue was holding her without responding, she reached out and pushed her out of her arms.

Their eyes met, and Aunt Xue's tears streamed down her face. "I was so scared! It felt like a ghost appeared in the Gu family just now."

"You mean ghosts?" Aunt Ping was a materialist and didn't believe in ghosts or gods.

She smiled and comforted Aunt Xue, "You're just too tired lately, and you're having hallucinations."

"No, that's not true," Aunt Xue hurriedly explained. "It's true, and this ghost is even following Miss Sweetie."

A death sentence?

The words flashed through her mind, and Aunt Ping immediately laughed, "It's understandable that she's afraid of those things since she's young. But you're such a grown-up, how can you still believe in these things like a child? Okay, stop scaring yourself, go wash up and go back to your room to rest."

“It’s true.” Aunt Xue grabbed Aunt Ping’s hand and tried her best to prove it. “She was here at first, and then she disappeared in the blink of an eye. I looked around the yard and she wasn’t there. When I went up to the second floor, she reappeared in the yard, kneeling on the ground and muttering to herself. After she went inside, she kept telling something to leave her.”

Aunt Ping frowned as she listened to the nonsensical remarks, finding them utterly absurd.

If ghosts truly exist in this world, then those who died in their place will return to the human world and take away the bad people who killed them.

But the truth is, when someone is framed and harmed, they are gone, while some bad people continue to live well because of their power and money.

Aunt Ping poured a glass of water and placed it in Aunt Xue's hand, then said again, "You've been too stressed and tired lately. Listen to me, go back to your room and rest. I'll look after things here."

The warmth of her palm struck her heart. After Aunt Xue was no longer so afraid, she looked around and found that everything was indeed no different from usual.

Is she really just scaring herself?

Aunt Xue looked up at the second floor again, and the cup in her hand suddenly fell to the ground with a clatter, shattering into pieces.

"She...she..."

"What about her?"

Aunt Ping asked Aunt Xue, following her gaze to the second floor.

Behind the stair railing, Sweetie stared at the two of them with a dark gaze and an expressionless face.

"Miss Sweetie, is there anything you want us to do?" Aunt Ping asked calmly.

She had never been well-liked since arriving at the Gu family, and they never treated the servants as equals. Now, seeing her standing there with that look in her eyes, Aunt Ping simply felt that this was her true nature and there was nothing to be afraid of.

"Don't go over there!" Aunt Xue grabbed Aunt Ping, who was heading to the second floor. "She'll hurt you!"

"What are you saying!" Aunt Ping scolded immediately.

She worried that Tian Tian would hold a grudge and say untrue things to Gu Yinshen and Ruolan.
