Yu Nianzhao mercilessly threw the evil spirit onto Ms Tang.
The evil spirits swarmed, invading Ms Tang, causing her to collapse painfully on the ground, emitting a piercing scream.
Tang Zhishuo hurriedly crawled over, angrily glaring at Yu Nianzhao, "What have you done to my mother? Remove the evil spirits quickly!"
Yu Nianzhao crossed her arms, scoffing coldly, "Why should I? Who do you think you are, the Emperor of Heaven? It’s already gracious of me not to return the favor doubled!"
"Mr. Yuan, these evil spirits, quickly take them back, my wife’s health has deteriorated due to excessive grief recently." Mr Tang urgently pleaded for Mr. Yuan’s help.
Mr. Yuan snapped out of his envy and jealousy, hurriedly raising his fingers, chanting a spell, "Rise!"
"Rise quickly!" He desperately jumped hard in place.
A golden light flashed across Ms Tang’s chest, harshly suppressing the evil spirits.
Mr. Yuan broke into a sweat, astonished by the power, stepping back two paces, his fingers trembling.
"You, you... who are you? What spell did you cast on Ms Tang? Why do those evil spirits completely ignore my commands?" Mr. Yuan gasped, pointing at Yu Nianzhao in disarray.
Yu Nianzhao said calmly, "It’s merely a sealing spell, of course, fundamentally different from your Sealing Talisman. You pasted so many Sealing Talismans just to prevent souls from leaving the Tang Mansion, while I needed only a spell."
"Sealing Spell? Just a single spell, yet so powerful?"
Mr. Yuan murmured, doubting himself already.
"Just a small skill." Yu Nianzhao modestly replied.
"..." Mr. Yuan nearly coughed up blood.
"Sob sob sob..." Ms Tang cried from the cold and pain. Thɪs chapter is updated by novel✦fire.net
Tang Zhishuo’s eyes widened, fiercely glaring at Yu Nianzhao, "Transfer the evil spirits to me, let me bear the pain for my mother."
Yu Nianzhao looked at them coldly, "What? Can’t bear even this little pain? You’re all filial to your mother, can’t stand it when it’s on your own kin, but ever thought about Lien Zhiyuan’s feelings?"
Tang Zhishuo was stunned, his eyes a bit bewildered, he laughed bitterly, "Yes, actually, I’ve opposed this from the start. I was deeply saddened by my elder brother’s passing, but how can anyone make the living pay with their lives? Sadly, my mother was obsessed, having heard my brother call sister-in-law’s name before he died."
"Was this truly Tang Zhiyang’s thought?" Yu Nianzhao questioned, "Who heard him say it directly? Did he want you to kill Lien Zhiyuan to accompany him in death?"
Tang Zhishuo shook his head dimly, "There weren’t any complete words, so we don’t know."
Mr Tang gritted his teeth, "Zhiyang was a good child, filial to his parents, won’t he be lonely without marrying throughout his life?"
He had been hesitant too, but was persuaded insistently by Ms Tang.
"After death, one reincarnates, a cycle of cause and effect, sending Lien Zhiyuan’s soul to accompany him only imprisons his soul, becomes his shackle!"
Yu Nianzhao shouted sternly, "Your so-called kindness to him is nothing but your own self-delusion, let me have you ask Tang Zhiyang himself."
"What? Ask Zhiyang?" Mr Tang was stunned.
Yu Nianzhao opened her palm, and a white jade writing brush appeared in her hand.
Yu Nianzhao wielded the brush before them.
A gust of eerie wind swept over, they felt itching on their eyelids, blinked, and saw shadows appear around them, upon closer look, they were ghosts in pitiful death conditions.
They were scared to death, faces turned pale, staggered and fell to the ground.
"Our mansion has so many ghosts?" Mr Tang swallowed, wishing he could close his eyes and pretend not to see.
"Ha, you dare harm lives, yet fear ghosts?"
Yu Nianzhao shouted again, "Tang Zhiyang, aren’t you coming to see your good parents yet!"
A male ghost dressed in wedding attire hovered above them, toes not touching the ground, his thin face terribly pale, the familiar features indeed belonged to their beloved Tang Zhiyang.
The Tang Family shouted excitedly, already disregarding their fear of ghosts.
"Father, Mother, Second brother!"
Tang Zhiyang tearfully blood flowed down upon seeing them recognize him.
"Zhiyang, my son!" Ms Tang forgot her pain, desperately crawling towards Tang Zhiyang.
"Mother, you shouldn’t have done this." Tang Zhiyang seemed unfamiliar with her, floated back, his melancholic eyes held disagreement.
"Oh, my son, it’s for you, you died young, without marrying, and even called her name before dying, so what’s wrong with marrying her to you in death?" Ms Tang cried heart-rendingly, feeling wronged by her son’s accusation.
Tang Zhiyang shook his head, "Mother, I called Zhiyuan’s name at my end because I couldn’t let go of her, we were about to marry, yet I left her, dying without seeing her one last time, so I murmured her name, it doesn’t mean for you to kill her, turn her into a ghost too, Mother, that’s wrong."
Ms Tang cried her heart out, "Zhiyang, she’s married you in death, she’s your wife now, you’ll have company down there."
Tang Zhiyang sighed lightly, "Mother, you still don’t understand, I was going to reincarnate, your obsession kept me here as a wandering ghost, I’ve realized I can’t repay the nurturing grace, I only hope we have fate for a reunion in the next life."
He then looked apologetically at the terrified Lien Zhiyuan, "Sorry, Zhiyuan, I never expected my parents to do this, I was with you all along in the coffin, comforting you to not fear, I won’t harm you, unfortunately, you couldn’t hear."
Hearing Tang Zhiyang’s words, Lien Zhiyuan trembled even more.
Elder brother, it would have been better not to tell her!
"Zhiyang!" Ms Tang regretted deeply, hearing Tang Zhiyang negating everything she’d done felt agonizing inside.
"If you so wish for someone to accompany your son down there, why isn’t it yourself?" Yu Nianzhao raised an eyebrow, pointing at the others, "Your son, your husband, you can choose one to accompany Tang Zhiyang, if one won’t do, then two, if two won’t do, then your entire family can accompany him, why involve someone else’s life? Simply put, it’s selfishness."
Yu Nianzhao’s words stung the Tang Family’s ears intensely, yet they couldn’t refute.
