The Double-Chapter 410 - 137: Unveiling_3

In those days, because of Ye Zhenzhen’s death, Ji Shuran’s entrance into the family, and having just gotten Jiang Youyao not long before, one thing after another kept happening; he was somewhat distracted, not as attentive as he had been before. But he never expected Jiang Yueer to die just like that.

He flew into a towering rage, severely punishing everyone who took care of Jiang Yueer at that time. For a long time, no one in the residence was allowed to mention the words "Miss Jiang the Eldest".

So many years had passed, and that clever voice had long faded from his mind, leaving only a blurred shadow. From deliberately not remembering to the forgetting of the passage of time, Jiang Yuanbai himself couldn’t remember clearly anymore.

But unexpectedly, he heard the young girl’s voice again at this moment.

Maternal Aunt Hu was right; it was the voice of Jiang Yueer.

Jiang Yuanbai’s expression was so grave that it made Ji Shuran involuntarily take a step back.

Never mind, she forced a smile, "How could this be..."

She couldn’t manage to smile anymore. She saw Chongxu Daoist Master hiding Jiang Li away, the panic between her brows appearing genuine.

How could this be... Isn’t this just... an act?

As Jiang Yuanbai approached, the voice of the young girl coming from the mouth of the unraised Jiang Li suddenly stopped. She said, "Father, Yueer is in so much pain, Yueer was killed by someone, Yueer hurts so much..."

Ji Shuran’s soul nearly fled her body.

Lady Lu had already been scared enough to hide behind her own son, immediately pondering upon hearing this. It was clear that Jiang Li was possessed by the ghost of the late eldest Miss Jiang; talking about misfortune, Jiang Li had to encounter such a ghostly encounter. But... killed? What killed? Didn’t Miss Jiang the Eldest fall from the rockery by accident?

"Yueer, who hurt you?" The voice of Jiang Yuanbai sounded as though it came from a distant place.

"Mother hurt me." The young girl’s voice remained youthful, yet carried a tinge of resentment as she said, "Mother hurt Yueer, killed Yueer, yet pretended Yueer died from a fall." She said, "Mother hurt me!"

"Nonsense!" Jiang Youyao, already panicked, couldn’t help but retort, "This is clearly the trickery of evil spirits to bewilder people’s hearts! Daoist Master, why not quickly eliminate these evil spirits!"

"Chongxu Daoist Master, what are you waiting for?" Ji Shuran said incoherently, "Hurry and perform the exorcism, drive her away! Without realizing it, from knowing this was a play to the Ji Shuran who pretended to be watching the drama, she actually began to feel true fear."

The Chongxu Daoist Master, stiffly wielding the Peach Wood Sword, found that the Little Daoist Boy had already disappeared without a trace, without even a shadow in sight. He was a fraud, how could he slay demons and exorcise evil. Today was supposed to be a sham, but who knew that a real evil spirit would appear, causing Chongxu Daoist Master endless grievances. Holding the Peach Wood Sword, he simply dared not approach, saying, "This evil being is too powerful; I... I may not be able to subdue it."

"But she’s here spreading bewitching lies!" Ji Shuran couldn’t help but scream! Her palms were full of clammy sweat, and she was scared. The events of the past couldn’t possibly be known by anyone, everyone who knew was already dead, it just couldn’t be... someone must have found out, and they were using this to harm her!

The young girl’s voice suddenly changed, turning into the voice of a young woman, much older than Jiang Yueer’s childish tone, she said, "What a ruthless heart you have, madam. In the past, you told the Eldest Miss to play with the Third Miss, but when the Third Miss cried out, you turned your anger on the Eldest Miss, and kicked her hard. The Eldest Miss hit her head on the threshold and didn’t survive, yet you made it look like an accidental fall from the rockery... Si Qi tried to hurry back to report to the master, but you silenced him by murdering him!"

"Si Qi..." A maid standing next to Maternal Aunt Hu suddenly said dumbly, "This is Si Qi’s voice..."

After all these years, who would remember exactly what a maid and a deceased young lady sounded like? Very few could recognize it. But Maternal Aunt Hu and Baoqin were the closest to Jiang Yueer and Si Qi, so when they said it was, nobody doubted it wasn’t.

Jiang Yuanbai turned to look at Ji Shuran.

"It’s not," Ji Shuran shook her head, tears suddenly falling as she clutched the corner of Jiang Yuanbai’s clothes, "Master... it’s not me, truly it’s not me, I’ve never done such a thing..."

Jiang Youyao also cried out, "Father, would you rather believe the ghostly words of an evil spirit than your own wife?"

"That can’t be certain." Lady Lu, hearing Ji Shuran’s misfortune and putting aside her fear, naturally wanted to kick her while she was down, she said, "A person about to die speaks kind words; much more so someone who’s already dead. In this world, people’s hearts can be much scarier than ghosts. Who knows what kind of malice lurks behind a face that seems kind and benevolent?"
