Severing ties with family to marry the young marshal, his whole family chases me to the crematorium.

Shen Qingyao looked puzzled and confused when she saw a box containing valuable items.

“Qingyao, these silver notes were exchanged from my mother’s dowry back then, along with house deeds, land deeds, and some shops, which were also part of my mother’s dowry.”

“You are my only daughter, and all these things should have been left to you. Originally, I planned to give them to you when I was on my deathbed. But now... I can only feel at ease if I hand them all over to you.”

Liu Shuyi looked at Shen Qingyao with tears in her eyes, her gaze filled with reluctance.

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingyao pushed the box back without hesitation, showing no joy whatsoever for the valuable contents of the box.

“Take it back. I have severed ties with the Shen family, and I don’t want your things.”

Shen Qingyao's decisiveness made Liu Shuyi's face turn pale, and tears began to fall.

"Whether you acknowledge me or not, you are my daughter, and everything I have is for you."

"Your second brother will be back next month. I will tell the three brothers about Shen Yuanyuan's true identity, and I will instruct them to protect and cherish you from now on."

Liu Shuyi wiped away her tears, her face stubborn, her eyes carrying a hint of determination.

"No need, I don't need money. You can give the Shen family's things to their three brothers or to Shen Yuanyuan, but don't give them to me."

Shen Qingyao showed no appreciation whatsoever, her cold attitude remaining unchanged throughout.

Upon hearing this, Liu Shuyi felt another pang of pain in her heart and couldn't help but secretly wipe away her tears.

"Qingyao, Mom will say it again: whether you acknowledge me or not, you will always be my daughter, and that will never change."

"For the past twenty-odd years, Mom has failed to protect you and take good care of you. It is Mom's fault, and Mom wants to make up for it."

“This contains not only my dowry, but also all of the Shen family’s assets. I built the Shen family up from scratch. You are my daughter, so you should take it.”

After Liu Shuyi finished speaking, she turned around and ran away quickly before Shen Qingyao could refuse again.

Shen Qingyao stopped halfway in her push of the box, watching helplessly as Liu Shuyi wiped away her tears and ran away.

She could see perfectly well that Liu Shuyi had already decided to die, but she simply couldn't bring herself to forgive her in order to dispel her suicidal thoughts.

……

At night, Shen Qingyao released the Book Spirit.

"I've been raising your soul for so long, now I'm asking you to do me a favor. After it's done, I'll send you to be reincarnated. How about it?"

Shen Qingyao's offer was very tempting, and Shuling had no reason not to agree.

"Okay, what's the matter?"

"Go... haunted."

Shen Qingyao's eyes flashed with coldness and calculation, a bloodthirsty light flowing in them.

She now has to deal with them one by one. Since they attacked her when she was still a baby, she no longer needs to have any scruples.

That very night, the Shen family home began to be haunted.

First, when Shen Wenzhong got up in the middle of the night, he saw a female ghost dressed in white who took off her head right in front of him.

Then, Cui Jingru was so frightened by a ghostly face that suddenly appeared in her room that she fainted.

Shen Yanting, Shen Yanming, and Shen Yuanyuan all encountered the female ghost in white.

Over the course of several days, the Shen family members were tormented beyond measure.

"Big brother, I remember Shen Qingyao studied this, right? Let's go find her and ask her to take a look at it for us."

Shen Yanming, sporting dark circles under his eyes, slumped listlessly on the table, his voice weak and feeble.

Shen Yanting's eyes were also slightly dark, clearly indicating that he hadn't had a good rest for several days.

Shen Yuanyuan was even dozing off while sitting, her head nodding off, looking extremely tired.

Cui Jingru held the bowl and ate food sporadically, eventually leaning on Shen Wenzhong's shoulder and closing her eyes.

In contrast, Liu Shuyi, who was standing to the side, looked much better than the others, although she also did not look well.

Not only can they eat, drink, and sleep well, but they are also completely unaffected.

It wasn't that she hadn't seen the female ghost before, but rather that she had already resolved her fears and was no longer afraid.

Upon hearing Shen Yanming's words, the others' eyes lit up, filled with anticipation.

But Liu Shuyi slammed the bowl down on the table, her face terribly gloomy.

“Your sister has her own life too. She doesn’t have time to show you these things. If you’ve never done anything wrong, you won’t be afraid of ghosts knocking at your door in the middle of the night. The reason you’re afraid of ghosts is because you’ve done something wrong.”

"And you two, you're not allowed to bother your sister. If you dare to, I'll sever all ties with you, and you'll never call me Mom again."

After Liu Shuyi finished speaking, she slammed her chopsticks heavily on the table and stormed out of the front hall, leaving everyone in the room looking at each other in bewilderment.

Liu Shuyi's attitude was really abnormal; she had never been so angry before.

To put it nicely, she has always had a good temper; to put it bluntly, she is a very weak person. This is the first time she has ever been so assertive.

Even Shen Wenzhong, who has a bad temper, was stunned when he first saw Liu Shuyi like this.

The brothers Shen Yanting and Shen Yanming exchanged a glance and simultaneously gave up their plan to go find Shen Qingyao.

“I’m staying at the police station starting tonight.”

Shen Yanting didn't understand why his mother was suddenly so angry, and feeling irritable, he got up and left the Shen family home.

"Third brother, what's wrong with Mom and eldest brother?"

Shen Yuanyuan looked at Shen Yanming with teary eyes. Having not rested well for several days, she appeared even more frail and helpless than usual, as if she was about to faint at any moment.

Shen Yanming had been so tormented by the ghostly tales these past few days that he felt dizzy and lifeless.

He then thought of how Shen Yuanyuan had become very close to Cui Jingru since she entered the house, and he felt somewhat dissatisfied, so his attitude became a bit rude.

"How would I know? If you want to know, why don't you go ask them yourself?"

Shen Yanming threw the chopsticks down suddenly, and they bounced up and almost hit Shen Yuanyuan in the face.

He ignored Shen Yuanyuan's aggrieved feelings as she nearly got hit, and stood up abruptly, causing the stool to fall to the ground with a loud thud.

Shen Yanming didn't even glance at it, and stormed off in a huff.

Shen Wenzhong didn't understand why one or two of them were throwing tantrums so early in the morning, but he had no mind to scold them. He could only sigh and rub his aching head.

But Cui Jingru didn't want to miss such a good opportunity to sow discord among them.

She hugged Shen Wenzhong's arm and shook it gently, while Shen Wenzhong's arm rubbed against her chest.

"Master, look at them..."

Shen Wenzhong felt the softness from his arm, and his throat tightened. He subconsciously swallowed.

"Don't worry, I'll teach them a lesson. Don't be angry, okay?"
