The daily life of a concubine's daughter

Chapter 168 Lonely Ghost

As soon as Shi Yao entered the second door, she let go of Aunt Liu Hua and Xing Mi's hands.

Aunt Liu Hua teased, "If this doesn't hurt, then that won't hurt either?"

Shi Yao smiled awkwardly: "It hurts, it hurts! Aren't we going to see the old lady? In order to prevent the old lady from worrying about me, I will just bear it and don't scare her."

Aunt Liu Hua pursed her lips and said nothing.

She wanted to scold her, but she felt that it was useless. What kind of person is the second girl? She has been together for so long and still she doesn't know?

All the way to Ganlu Hall.

Shi Mingzhu was already sitting on the edge of the old lady's bed, wiping her tears with a handkerchief, and said, "Grandma, you must take good care of yourself. This family cannot live without you... The Xie family is so unkind that they actually took advantage of our family's hardest time..."

"Grandma! Big sister!" Shi Yao lifted the curtain and came in, bowing with a smile.

The gloomy mood of the lady brightened up a little when she saw Shi Yao's smiling face, and she hurriedly said, "Yao girl, come here quickly! Come to grandma!"

Shi Yao stepped forward, held her outstretched hand, and said with a smile, "I knew that grandma was thinking about me, so I hurried to report my safety to you."

The lady asked, "I just heard from your eldest sister that Wan Zheng's wife searched your yard, and you beat her and drove her out, and then went to your eighth brother's yard and made a scene?"

Shi Yao glanced at Shi Mingzhu, who was wiping her tears with her head down, and moved a round stool over to sit on. She told the lady what had happened before, as if it were a play, with twists and turns:

"…Marquis Ningyuan was also a wonderful man. When he saw that I had written the word ‘return’, he shook his robe without saying anything and stood up to say goodbye.

Grandmother, don't you think this is strange? Grandfather had urged him to return home time and again, but he refused to listen. He looked like he wanted to eat and sleep with Grandfather or his eldest uncle until his eighth brother showed up and returned the engagement token.

I didn't expect that I wrote the word "回" and he left. It turns out that when you say goodbye to a guest, it doesn't work, you have to write it down! I have learned a lesson today. My grandfather praised me again and again. I even forgot what he said, but he praised me for being smart and clever! "

Shi Yao blinked her big black eyes, with a proud and complacent expression as if to say "Grandma, please praise me".

The lady was annoyed, embarrassed, and wanted to laugh: "Didn't the old man punish you?"

The smug look on Shi Yao's face disappeared, and she said in embarrassment: "Grandfather and grandmother are of one mind! You only know how to punish me!

I am reporting that Miss Wan to avoid bringing shame to you! I am your precious granddaughter, how can I just accept the humiliation without reporting it?"

The lady scolded, "You can't file a complaint like that! You must not hurt the jade bottle just to kill a mouse. You are the precious master, and she is just a servant. How can you tarnish your reputation by hurting her?"

Shi Yao snorted angrily, "I didn't defame myself, it was clearly her who defamed me. Lady Wan is the sting on the tail of a wasp, doing harm in the dark, leaving people speechless with pain.

I will speak out openly and expose her dark thoughts! This rat in the stinking ditch should have been cleared out long ago!"

Seeing that she had not suffered any loss, the Madam felt relieved and began to feel sleepy. "Never mind, it was all her own fault. She relied on the power of the old master and ignored the young master. She deserved this fate! But you must never do this again in the future. A girl's reputation is so precious, how can it be easily damaged?"

Shi Yao sighed, "The tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop. I cherish my reputation, but there are always those villains who won't let me go, and I can't do anything about it. But! Grandma, don't worry, your granddaughter won't suffer any loss."

The lady said worriedly, "You are a person who is ready to fight to the bitter end. How can anyone be assured of you?"

Shi Yao smiled and said, "Then may grandma live a long life and protect me forever. Grandma, it's already noon and I'm starving. Please get up and have lunch with me before going to sleep! I'm so scared that my hands are shaking and my legs are weak. You have to give me courage."

The lady smiled widely, and the wrinkles on her face smoothed out: "Okay, okay, I'll eat with you, eat with you."

Shi Yao helped her up and assisted the old lady in dressing herself. With the help of the maids, she just smoothed the wrinkles and tied the belt.

During the whole process, Shi Mingzhu was either sitting on the edge of the bed wiping her tears, and when she was wiping her tears, she saw the lady smiling, or she stood aside and told the maids not to let the old lady get caught.

After the lady had dressed, Shi Mingzhu came forward and, together with Shi Yao, supported her on both sides as they went to the flower hall to eat.

The maids and servants set the table, but Rong was not there to serve, and no one mentioned her either.

After dinner, Shi Yao took her leave.

Shi Mingzhu came out with her.

The sisters' courtyards were in the same direction, so they could only walk together.

Shi Mingzhu signaled the maids to step back and said coldly: "Shi Yao, I know your origins."

Shi Yao smiled and said, "What a coincidence, I also know my sister's origins."

Shi Mingzhu glanced at him coldly, full of disgust: "You are a lonely ghost from another world, occupying my sister's body."

She thought Shi Yao's face would change drastically and she would panic.

Shi Yao smiled calmly and said, "Isn't my sister a wandering ghost? You and my sister-in-law always say that my sister died in her previous life. Dead people are ghosts!

Come to think of it, I haven't died yet.

By the way, before my sister took over this young body, my real elder sister was looking forward to my return to Beijing. When she heard that I was back, she hurried to see me, but just now she fell into an ice hole and let you, a lonely evil ghost, take over her body!

Are you my elder sister? My elder sister is gentle, kind, virtuous and dignified. She is a lady praised by everyone. What about you? You say bad things about me and my sisters-in-law behind my back, and you try to sow discord between husband and wife, and between brothers and sisters. Haven't you done that?

If it were my gentle and kind elder sister, she would never have any malicious thoughts or evil ideas. She only hopes that everyone is well. "

This was the first time Shi Mingzhu heard such a statement. She was terrified and shocked, and trembled with anger: "You are obviously from another world, you are the wandering ghost. I am Shi Mingzhu, and this body is mine!"

Shi Yao smiled and said, "I just didn't drink Meng Po soup when I was reincarnated. Sister, think about it carefully. You in a few years, or decades later, suddenly come back and occupy your body.

The one who came back to life from your body is Shi Mingzhu who is in her twenties, fifties, or a hundred years old. Tell me, is she you? If my sister says yes, then I will pray that the hundred-year-old Shi Mingzhu will come back and be my sister soon! "

Shi Mingzhu’s face turned pale and shaky: “You, you are talking nonsense!”

She was in her twenties (not counting the years when she was a ghost), and when she returned to the age of sixteen, she felt like she was reborn. She was still herself, she was herself.

But she would never want to. If Shi Mingzhu, who was fifty or a hundred years old, were to be reborn and return to the present, what would be the difference between that and strangling her?

Shi Yao suddenly stopped laughing and said calmly, "We are all crows, so don't laugh at each other's blackness. Sister, if you want to use this to criticize me, don't hurt yourself.

Grandma is right. I am not willing to suffer any loss even if it means I will lose everything. God has given you a chance to be reborn. So live it well. Don't let your imagination run wild and do things you shouldn't do. I am not the person you hate."
