I traveled back to ancient times, but I was able to lie down and relax.
Chapter 61 Pretending to be a ghost
That night, after Liu Sirou fell asleep, Liu Nanjia quietly got up and went out. Then she called Song Chen, who was waiting for her with the door open, and the two of them grabbed their things and sneaked out of the room.
Upon arriving at the Liu family's old residence, Song Chen first helped Liu Nanjia wait on the courtyard wall. He then stepped back a few paces, climbed onto the wall, and with a flip, landed lightly in the courtyard.
Liu Nanjia's eyes lit up. She hadn't expected Song Chen to have this skill. The young man was quite capable.
Then, with Song Chen's help, he entered the courtyard.
The members of the Liu family's main branch and Old Master Liu and his wife were already fast asleep.
Grandma Liu was a light sleeper. She vaguely heard some noise outside the window, as if someone was crying.
As I listened, the crying grew louder and louder. At first, it was only a female voice, but later a male voice joined in.
Just now, Liu Nanjia was pinching Song Chen's arm outside the window, saying, "What's wrong with faking a cry? I'm here with you, aren't I? Besides, no one else will know except me."
Song Chen remained silent for a moment, then had no choice but to obey.
Grandma Liu felt increasingly uneasy as she listened, and nudged her husband beside her.
Old Master Liu was woken up by being pushed awake. He was very impatient and angrily scolded, "You old hag, what are you doing in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?"
Grandma Liu was already used to it and didn't care. She said directly, "Old man, can you hear someone crying outside the window? It's been going on for a while, and the crying is getting louder and louder."
The couple, Liu Song and his wife, reacted differently. Fang had been having a hard time lately. After the second wife's children left, she had to do a lot more housework.
Because their plans had been repeatedly thwarted recently, and their eldest son's marriage had not yet been arranged, Old Master Liu was very angry. He found fault with her constantly and took his anger out on her. Liu Song did not help her and sometimes even joined his father in scolding her. Life was extremely miserable for them.
Exhausted from working during the day, she slept soundly at night and even snored, which made Liu Song dislike her even more.
At this moment, Liu Song was woken up first. Looking at his wife who was still snoring beside him, a look of disgust flashed in his eyes, and he kicked her.
Fang was fast asleep when she woke up and started cursing, "What's wrong with you now!"
Liu Song snorted, "Listen to what's going on outside the window."
After things quieted down, the crying became more pronounced, and it seemed like there were also voices.
"Father~ Eldest brother~ Sister-in-law~ How cruel you are~"
"Father~ Big brother~ Sister-in-law~ Why are you all so cruel!"
"You've already ruined me, are you going to ruin my child too?!"
It was a woman's voice, and the last sentence was clearly filled with anger.
"Father, elder brother, why are you doing this to my children!"
That's the male voice.
Then these few sentences were repeated over and over.
Inside the house, Fang was trembling with fear. "Did you hear that? They were calling for 'elder brother' and 'auntie,' it's...it's the second wife and her husband! They're ghosts!"
Liu Song's face turned pale, but he still forced a smile and said, "There's no ghost at all."
In Grandpa Liu's room, the elderly couple also heard the voices behind them. Grandma Liu burst into tears, "It's our Liu Feng who's back! I told you not to do such despicable things, even harming your own grandchildren. Now our son couldn't stand it anymore and came to find you!"
Old Master Liu retorted stubbornly, "What nonsense are you talking about! The dead can't be brought back to life, so where would ghosts come from!"
Grandma Liu ignored him, opened the door and went out. Grandpa Liu was startled by her actions and tried to stop her but failed. He had no choice but to follow her, but instead of going out, he leaned against the door and looked outside.
When Grandma Liu went outside, she saw two white figures standing in the yard, one tall and one short, their faces obscured by their hair, so she couldn't see their features.
"Is that my son Liu Feng? It's all my fault, I didn't take good care of your children, I'm useless." She cried and tried to step forward.
"Don't come any closer!" Liu Nanjia shouted, trying to stop them when she saw the situation was getting out of hand.
“Mother, this is none of your business. We’re here to settle scores with them! Mother, don’t let our yin energy touch you, or you’ll get sick! We also can’t touch strangers.”
Grandma Liu then stopped and stared at them, tears streaming down her face.
Seeing that their mother had come out, Liu Song and his wife realized they could no longer stay inside, so they went out as well.
However, Liu Song actually pulled Fang Shi and made her stand in front.
Liu Nanjia saw this scene through the gap in her hair and sneered inwardly. What a coward! When something really happens, he actually hides behind a woman.
So she pointed at him and said, "Liu Song, stop hiding behind me! Are you trying to take advantage of my children? Not only did you try to steal their hard-earned money, but you even dared to sell my daughter! My poor child, I'm here today to teach you a lesson!"
As she spoke, she quietly tugged at Song Chen, who was sitting next to her.
Song Chen understood, and secretly took out a small packet of phosphorus powder, sprinkling it around Fang's feet.
Instantly, a ghostly blue flame rose from the ground in front of Fang, floating silently on the ground.
Fang was terrified by the scene. Ignoring Liu Song's attempts to pull her back, she turned and tried to rush into the room, shouting as she did so, "Don't look for me! It was all their doing. It was your father and your older brother who came up with the idea. They're the ones who made me sell Liu Sirou. The wronged should be held accountable. If you want to find someone, go find them!"
