On the other side.

The Jiang family.

In the dead of the night, Jiang Yunye, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened her eyes. She tilted her head to look at her mother, who was already asleep by the bed. Her gaze darkened as she lifted the blanket and wanted to get out of the bed.

However, sensing the movement, Mrs. Jiang her eyes.

Mrs. Jiang looked at her daughter with disappointment. “Yunye, I told you if you go to the ancestral hall in the backyard again, I’ll hang myself in front of you. Are you really going to abandon me for a dead person?”

Tears streamed down Jiang Yunye’s face. She grabbed the hem of Mrs. Jiang’s shirt and begged, “Mom, I really don’t like Tang Feng. I don’t want to marry him.”

“It doesn’t matter whether you like him or not. At least he’s human and doesn’t mind that you’re crazy. He’s the only boy in the Tang family, so you won’t be treated unfairly in his house.”

“But I don’t like him!”

“Love can be cultivated with time! It’s better than loving someone you shouldn’t. Yunye, that’s your ancestor. You shouldn’t have feelings for him.”

“He’s not… He’s… He’s too lonely. I want to accompany him. He was such a great person when he was alive. Why did he have to wait until now for a woman… That woman is not worthy…” The more Jiang Yunye spoke, the more agitated she became. Her heart ached so much that she grabbed the shirt in front of her chest, as if this was the only way to reduce the anger and pain.

“She’s not worthy? Do you think you’re worthy?” Mrs. Jiang was so angry that she shouted. She wanted to beat this disgraceful daughter to death. “Yunye, wake up. If you spout nonsense again, I’ll get the doctor to drug you into sleep until the day of your marriage.”

“No, no, no… I don’t want to sleep. Mom, don’t drug me.” Jiang Yunye’s face turned pale, and the fingers that were holding on to Mrs. Jiang’s clothes were shaking. She couldn’t sleep anymore. If she slept again, it would be too late. “I’ll be obedient. I won’t do anything. Don’t drug me.”

Mrs. Jiang looked at her daughter and couldn’t help but cry.

What sins had their family committed? Why did it become like this? Why didn’t that person leave? He had been waiting for a century.

At the thought of this, Mrs. Jiang suddenly felt resentful. After Jiang Yunye fell asleep, she quietly went to the ancestral hall in the backyard.

The Jiang family’s ancestral hall was a forbidden area. Other than the men from the Jiang family, no one else was allowed to enter. It was after entering the ancestral hall that Jiang Yunye started to show signs of craziness.

Mrs. Jiang was walking towards the ancestral hall at two in the morning when the night was at its darkest and the Yin the heaviest. It was already summer, but it was like winter here. Cold air kept surging up from the bottom of her feet to her body.

Mrs. Jiang clenched her clothes in fear, and her teeth chattered uncontrollably. She braced herself and continued walking.

After passing through several corridors and a pond, she finally arrived near the ancestral hall in the backyard.

At this point, there was a layer of fog enveloping the backyard. In the fog, a figure stood upright in the pavilion beside the ancestral hall. Mrs. Jiang calmed herself down and continued walking over.

When she reached the pavilion, she did not dare to take another step forward, and her legs were trembling uncontrollably.

The person in the pavilion had his back to her. His military uniform made him look intimidating, like an unsheathed sword. Whoever dared to approach him would be pierced to pieces.

Mr. Jiang mustered up her courage and called out with a trembling voice, “An… Ancestor.”

In the fog, Mrs. Jiang saw the man turn around and look at her.

Even if she couldn’t see his face clearly, she could see a pair of piercing eyes.

Her legs went weak and she knelt down. However, when she thought of her daughter, she cried and begged, “Ancestor, I beg you to leave this place. My daughter has been bewitched by you to the point where she’s gone crazy. The person you’re waiting for won’t come. Please stop haunting my family.”

The man still looked at her with his sharp eyes. The fog around him was thicker than before.

Mrs. Jiang was so frightened that she did not dare to speak anymore. Her teeth were chattering uncontrollably.

At that moment, a roar came from behind her. “Mom, I knew you’d come here.”

Mrs. Jiang suddenly turned to look at Jiang Yunye, who was running over.

When she walked up to Jiang Yunye, she raised her hand and slapped her. She shouted at her fiercely, “Who told you to come? Who told you to come here?”

Jiang Yunye’s face instantly turned red from the slaps. She covered her burning face and turned to look at Mrs. Jiang, asking anxiously, “Mother, why are you disturbing him?”

“You actually have the cheek to ask?” Mrs. Jiang was so angry that she wanted to hit her again.

At this moment, a voice came from behind Jiang Yunye. “Auntie, I brought Yunye here.”

Mother Jiang looked at Tang Feng in disbelief as he walked over. Her chest heaved up and down as she questioned in exasperation, “Tang Feng, why did you bring her here?”

“Because…” Tang Feng looked at the faint figure in the pavilion and said coldly,” I don’t care if the person I marry likes me or not, but if the person I marry likes a ghost, I definitely won’t agree. ”

Jiang Yunye suddenly turned to look at Tang Feng. “Tang Feng, you…”

Tang Feng’s gaze was still fixed on the figure in the pavilion, and his tone carried a hint of mockery. “As the ancestor of the Jiang family, why aren’t you gone yet but lingering to torment your family.”

Pa!

Tang Feng looked at Jiang Yunye, who had slapped him, and clicked his tongue, then said with mockery, “Jiang Yunye, do you know what the outside world is saying about you now? They say you like a ghost, and want to die for him. What a lovestruck fool you are! It’s just that he won’t respond to your deep love.”

“Tang Feng, stop it!” Jiang Yunye’s heart ached terribly. She shouted at the top of her lungs, “You don’t know anything. What right do you have to say this?”

“Oh, I don’t have the right?” Tang Feng’s eyes were red as he shouted at her, “I’m about to become your husband, so why don’t I have the right to say that?”

“I won’t marry you!” After Jiang Yunye finished shouting, she tilted her head to look at the figure in the pavilion and found that there was nothing there at all. She panicked and wanted to go over, but her arms were grabbed by Mrs. Jiang and Tang Feng at the same time.

Jiang Yunye was so anxious that tears kept streaming down. “Let go of me. He’s gone! He’s gone!”

“Yunye, come back with me.”

“I’m not going back! Let go of me!”

“Jiang Yunye, are you done being crazy?”

The three of them started to engage in a fight. At this moment, a cold voice came from the ancestral hall. “I’ll leave tomorrow night at midnight.”

The three of them froze at the same time. Then, Jiang Yunye cried in pain.

“No…”
