Yu Liangyan wanted his grandparents to rest for a while, so he spoke first, "This disaster came suddenly. I helped out in the village and did what I could before going back to work, but whenever I had a moment to myself, I would think of Qianhui's clean and beautiful face..."

"Stop!" Cheng Ai glanced down at her watch, frowning in displeasure. "I have no interest in listening to your nonsense. If we don't get to the point, don't even think about reincarnation."

Xu Wanli was anxious and summarized Yu Liangyan’s pursuit of Xu Qianhui in a few words. Yu Dou then went along with it and said what happened next: “Qianhui became pregnant with Tianshuang in the second year after she married into the family. When she was a month old, Wu Xu attended the banquet as her childhood friend. Our Yu family treated her with great hospitality, fearing that we might not have been able to entertain her properly.”

Seeing that he was about to go off-topic again, Wang Yuetang quickly interjected, "Wu Xu tried every means to gain our trust and took the opportunity to get close to Qian Hui. When he was rejected, he left with a meaningful remark, 'My in-laws miss her,' before leaving."

Our daughter-in-law is busy with work and her pregnancy is tough, so she rarely goes back to her parents' home. We feel sorry for her and plan to find a suitable time to stay with her for a few days.

Wang Yuetang was about to say something when Zhu Qiya raised her hand to interrupt, "Leave the rest to me!"

She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and slowly opened her lips, "On the morning of the Mid-Autumn Festival, I was so excited when I received a call from Qianhui saying that she was coming with her in-laws. I immediately went out with Wanli to buy groceries."

As luck would have it, Wu Xu was at the stairwell scolding his nephew for getting the lowest score on the exam. When he saw us, he came up to greet us warmly and asked why we were in such a hurry to leave.

We had a falling out with his parents, but we had a good relationship with him, and since we were in a good mood, we casually mentioned Qianhui's situation. When we came back from grocery shopping, Wu Xu was gone, but his nephew was still there.

Zhu Qiya's studies were average, Xu Wanli added, "He was memorizing his lessons at the time, so we didn't want to disturb him and went home to cook."

Zhong Zheyi suddenly realized, "No wonder you set a question about memorization and exams, you were trying to scare Master Wu!"

Xu Qianhui nodded, a flash of hatred crossing her eyes. "We want to break his spirit first, and then slowly torture him to death."

Hao Jian was speechless for a moment, then rebuked him angrily, "Killing old man Wu is no problem, but why do you want to drag us into this too?"

Xu Qianhui hid behind Yu Liangyan and explained with a grin, "I often sneak into the director's studio to watch the live stream and see the staff on Weibo. What you and your girlfriend did is despicable. I can't quell my anger without teaching them a lesson!"

Cheng Baoni lowered her head in embarrassment, gently touched her stomach, stood up, said "I'm going back to my room to sleep," and hurriedly left.

Now that things were out in the open, Hao Jian no longer needed to pretend. He wanted to provoke conflict and force Cheng Ai to take action.

He had been watching closely the entire process of the other party subduing Yu Liangyan, and he had only learned the general idea of ​​the gestures. If he watched it again, he would definitely remember it.

With magic powers at his disposal, even if he walks backwards in the entertainment industry, no one will dare to stop him!

"We are not playthings, and you have no right to manipulate us!" Hao Jian straightened his chest, stiffened his neck, and roared indignantly, "Humans and ghosts are different, and we must confront each other head-on. Today, it's either you or Old Man Wu who will die. If the guests can't die, then it's you who will! Xiao Ai, cast your spell. We still have to record the show at dawn, and we don't have much time left!"

Although Cheng Ai didn't know Hao Jian's thoughts, she was certain that he was up to no good again.

She leaned lazily against Ye Jingke's chest, her left hand resting on his arm, and her right hand snapping her fingers lightly, sending a tiny blue ball of light flying from her fingertip.

The next second, Hao Jian flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashed into the opposite wall, and fell to the ground.

"Get out!" Cheng Ai's icy voice came from inside the restaurant. He coughed twice, got up, and slunk away.

Seeing this, Song Yifei trembled with fright. Fortunately, she had never directly angered Sister Xiao Ai, otherwise she would probably have ended up in a similar situation to Hao Jian.

Cheng Ai closed her eyes and pretended to doze off, then reluctantly reminded him, "Just keep the matter of Master Wu brief. I only want to know about jade."

Xu Qianhui was taken aback, and quickly picked out the important parts to say, "After we got home, we sat down together for lunch. My grandparents came in the afternoon, and they took Tianshuang to play in the neighborhood until the full moon rose before they went back."

She tried hard to control her anger, but her voice trembled. "Because we were waiting for my grandmother and the others, my mother didn't close the door. My mother-in-law and Liangyan brought the dishes to the table, and everyone chatted and enjoyed the moon while waiting for us."

Noticing Xu Qianhui's unstable emotions, Wang Yuetang followed her train of thought and said, "At some point, a loud noise broke the warm atmosphere. We thought it was Qianhui's maternal grandmother, so we quickly started preparing dinner."

Suddenly, a pungent smell filled our nostrils, and within seconds we lost consciousness. Because of our resentment, our souls didn't go directly to hell after leaving our bodies; instead, they drifted out through the cracks in the doors and windows.

Zhu Qiya's expression was also fierce. She could speak softly in front of her lover, but she was like a furious lion when facing her enemy. "I left through the front door. At that time, Wu Xu was sneaking around eavesdropping on the noise inside the house. I was suspicious, so I stood aside and observed him."

Tears streamed down her face as she floated to Wu Xu's side, pointing at him and screaming hysterically, "But...but I never expected...he would actually use the key to open the door...run inside and set a fire..."

Song Yifei listened to the story very attentively. Like a primary school student, she raised her hand and asked questions, "How did your house key end up in someone else's hands? And what was his motive for killing him?"

Xu Wanli used his vines to whip Wu Xu several times, saying, "You'll have to ask your Daoist Master Wu about that."

Wu Xu didn't want to be beaten again, so he hurriedly shrank under the dining table. "Qian Hui's house key has always been kept in the entryway. I secretly made a copy when I visited her a few years ago. As for my motive, it was probably because I hated her after loving her!"

Seeing the disdainful looks from the crowd, he quickly added, "I also regret it. To atone for my sins, I entered the Baili Temple to cultivate and took the initiative to send living expenses to Tianshuang. After his maternal grandparents passed away, I often donated money to the orphanage that adopted him and helped others solve their problems. Aren't these good deeds enough to make up for my mistakes?"

The more he talked, the more reasonable he seemed, and finally he squeezed out a few tears of grievance, "It's just that I accidentally killed a few people, why do you hold a grudge against me for decades?"

By analyzing Cheng Ai's attitude, Wu Xu discovered that she didn't care about her own affairs.

Since that's the case, he might as well turn black into white and frantically play the victim. There are so many people on the other side, and he, a lonely and weakling, is the most suitable person to use this tactic.

Wu Xu boldly crawled out from under the table, plopped down on the ground, and burst into tears, his former image as an aloof and virtuous Taoist master completely gone.

"Waaaaah, I've dedicated my life to healing the sick and helping people... surveying feng shui... giving out free talismans... you've only lost two families, eight people in total... while I've saved countless people... waaaaah... you've come here so aggressively for revenge... don't you think about those poor souls waiting for me to save their lives... waaaaah..."
