Chapter 433: Didn ‘t They Say That Young Girls Are Afraid of Ghosts?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Sometimes, Yun Ran was really a blunt girl.
“Afraid of what? What should I be afraid of?”
MO Beiyuan pointed at the palace maids holding white lanterns at night. “Don’t you think they’re very strange and like ghosts?”
Yun Ran was someone who dealt with creatures like zombies. Why would she be afraid of ghosts?
She smiled and said, “Let’s not talk about whether they’re ghosts or not. If they really are ghosts, believe it or not, if they dare to appear in front of me now, I can beat them up until they doubted their ghostly lives!’
Did she look like she was afraid of ghosts?
MO Beiyuan was speechless.
Didn’t they say that young girls were afraid of ghosts?
Why wasn’t his Ranran afraid? She even planned to catch the ghosts and beat them up. MO Beiyuan had originally planned to show off his masculinity, but now, he coughed awkwardly.
“It’s hard to walk at night. Why don’t I carry you?’
Yun Ran smiled at him and her pink lips curled up gently. “I’m not Sweetcake who needs you to carry her. However, it’s fine to hold hands.”
As she spoke, she reached out her small hand to him. “Do you want to hold my hand?”
MO Beiyuan quickly moved his hand over and held hers tightly. His palm was dry and warm.
The two of them maintained a similar rhythm as they walked together.
Yun Ran had been to the palace a few times before, but she had never visited the emperor’s harem.
Today was an eye-opener.
There were some fancy names in this palace and that one. All of them were the Emperor’s women.
Those who were pampered lived in luxurious palaces. Those who were not pampered were either in the Cold Palace or sitting in shabby small palaces.
Now that the Emperor was gone, the women in the harem who had children were prepared to take a gamble. Those who did not have children seemed to have lost their support and lived in fear, not knowing the future.
Cui Ruyu belonged to the latter category. She lived a lowly life in this shabby and remote corner.
There was not even a palace maid serving her.
When Bai Wan and Bai Ze appeared, Cui Ruyu was obviously frightened. She hugged her head and hid in a corner, screaming non-stop.
“No, don’t come over, don’t look for me!’
“It’s not me. I didn��t harm you. It’s the emperor. The emperor wants to kill you!’ Bai Wan and Bai Ze looked at each other as soon as she said those crazy words.
“So, you know that the person behind the Bai family’s injustice back then was the emperor! You know!’
Even if Cui Cheng was a bad person, Bai Ze did not directly conclude that Cui Ruyu, a girl who grew up with him, harbored evil intentions towards the Bai family.
Only now did he realize how ridiculous he was.
“I don’t know. I don’t know’ anything. Please let me go. Please let me go! Look at me now. I’ve already received my retribution.”
“I don’t want to die. I don’t want to die yet. Don’t take my soul away.”
Cui Ruyu cried and begged for mercy as she kowtowed.
When Bai Wan heard her words, she realized that Cui Ruyu had thought that she and her brother had come to claim her life as ghosts.
Then why not beat her at her own game?
Hence, she said, “Cui Ruyu, I died so tragically! It’s you, it’s all your fault! I won’t let you off. I’ll drag you to hell with me.”
Bai Ze knew what his sister wanted to do, so he didn’t reveal that he was still alive.
He asked Bai Wan to find out Cui Cheng’s whereabouts from Cui Ruyu..
