The couple pretended to be guests. Long Tianhao did not sit in a wheelchair. He pretended to be drunk and was carried out by them.
Fortunately, the people around were used to this kind of thing.
As soon as they walked out of the alley, Lin Mengya hurriedly asked someone to bring a wheelchair.
After arriving at a safe place as fast as possible, she lifted the disguise on Long Tianhao's face.
Sure enough, the bloodless face under the mask was full of cold sweat.
"Don't force yourself so much in the future."
She was so distressed that her eyes almost turned red.
Long Tianhao raised his head. Although he was still a little weak, he still insisted on showing a comforting smile to his wife.
"It's okay. Although it hurts a little, it's much better than before."
Although every step he took to stand up seemed to be stepping on the tip of a knife.
But he had not stood up for a long time. Even if he exhausted all his strength, he was more excited in his heart.
Madam was right. There would be a day when he would stand up and recover to his original state.
The couple worked hard all night and gained a lot.
The third aunt was originally a foreigner. She had been in the prostitution business since she was young.
But she was ruthless and often did not treat her prostitutes as human beings.
So a few years ago, she was schemed against by those prostitutes. She also became a female slave and suffered a lot.
After that, someone bought her at a high price, and then secretly sent her here, letting her resume her old business.
According to her, the girls in the yard were all sent over by the boss who bought her.
Some of them only suffered some physical pain, but others fell into hell on earth.
Over the years, there were dozens of girls who died in this yard, if not hundreds.
After her husband completely controlled this place, Lin Mengya had seen those girls who were "receiving guests" in the front yard with her own eyes.
In a low room, the girls who had been ravaged had long been out of shape.
Some of them had their tongues cut off, some had their faces scratched, and some had their hands and feet broken.
They were like human-shaped toys, being wantonly humiliated to satisfy their lust.
Even though their wounds were filled with black pus and blood, the men still threw down five copper coins and couldn't wait to pounce on the bodies of the victims.
Seriously.
When Lin Mengya saw the miserable state of those girls, she wanted to kill those bastards with her own hands to vent her anger.
But she was very clear.
Third aunt was just a puppet. The real culprit was still hiding in the dark. She survived by sucking the blood and flesh of these innocent girls.
After knowing that they had been rescued, most of the girls, who had long been numb, were still in a daze.
However, there were two luckier ones who took the initiative to tell Lin Mengya what had happened to them.
What surprised her was that these two girls were actually Elder Zhao's maids.
However, about half a year ago, they were sold off by the steward in the name of stealing their master's belongings. In the end, they ended up in this demon's den.
Previously, they thought that they were unlucky, but Lin Mengya didn't think so.
Including her, there were at least three handmaidens of Elder Zhao's family who had been sent here by the stewards under various pretexts.
It's from the village.
In that case, how many of those who had died tragically and completely collapsed were related to Elder Zhao's family?
And no matter under what pretext they had used to drive them out, what was the actual reason they had been sent away?
Perhaps the answer to all these questions could only be found when they returned to the Zhao Family.
The next day, something that was neither too big nor too small happened in the Zhao family.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, all the red lanterns and decorations in the Zhao Family started to burn.
Everyone saw the green flame. It was like a will-o '-the-wisp, leaving behind only drifting ashes and remains.
"There's, there's a ghost!"
Someone in the crowd shouted in a hoarse voice.
But more people were thinking that this might really be the work of the late wife's resentment.
Soon, this theory spread among the crowd.
When Madam Duan and Xu 'er received the news and rushed to the scene, they were greeted by the Zhao Family's servants who were evasive but secretly meaningful.
Xu 'er glared back at those people unhappily. This time, even Madam Duan, who was good at controlling her temper, did not care to reprimand Xu' er for being rude.
The only thing she wanted to know now was, who was the one who did this?
But everyone present had witnessed it with their own eyes. No one had deliberately set it on fire.
But even if someone had deliberately set it on fire, how could the color of the flame turn into a ghostly green?
Madam Duan gritted her teeth and ordered people to remove the remaining decorations. She also strictly forbade everyone from discussing it in private. She could not let this matter leak out of the manor.
She had originally wanted to keep the peace. As long as the wedding was over in a few days, even if that woman Fang Rao jumped out of her coffin, she would still be the legitimate Madam of the Zhao Family.
But unexpectedly, on the night of the will-o '-the-wisp incident, many people in the city witnessed the ghost bride sending off the bride.
In just one night, this incident had spread like wildfire.
It was said that someone had seen with their own eyes a bridal procession dressed in white, carrying a blood-red bridal sedan and wandering on the streets.
At first, some people thought that they had seen it wrong. But after turning the corner, the strange bridal procession had actually disappeared!
But at the place where the bridal sedan had disappeared, there was a pile of paper money that had not yet burned out …
"Madam, there are rumors that the ghost bride is the late Madam. They also said that the reason why she came back was to question Elder Zhao about why he was so ungrateful and married you before her body had even turned cold.
There are even people who said that the late Madam's death had something to do with you … "
"Enough!"
Madam Duan's face was now ashen.
Xu 'er's expression was not any better than her. She glared at the insensible girl and immediately drove her out.
She then brought a cup of hot tea to Madam Duan and softly comforted her.
"Madam, you don't have to care about those people's nonsense. The late Madam has long been dead. Even if she had really become a ghost, she would not be able to take over Madam Zhao's position. Moreover, it should have been you. "
Madam Duan took a deep breath.
Although she had doubts about this matter, the two consecutive accidents were too coincidental. She could not help but think more about it.
"How is the Old Master?" She was most concerned about Elder Zhao's reaction.
After all, he had deep feelings for Fang Rao.
Moreover, the ghost bride seemed to be targeting him. She was afraid that Zhao Yixuan would be even more anxious.
However, if she could make good use of this opportunity, she might be able to remove the dead person from Zhao Yixuan's heart.
Although she did not love the dead person anymore, she did not want her man's heart to be occupied by another woman forever.
Xu 'er's eyes flashed. She said in a low voice, "I heard that he has been staying in his room since yesterday. I even heard the sound of him smashing things in his study. I'm sure he's furious. "
Madam Duan thought about it and felt that it should be so.
"A man like him naturally can't stand the scolding of these random speculations and accusations. Go and prepare some food for me. I will personally bring it to him. "
Madam Duan's mental fortitude was really strong.
Just a second ago, she was angry because of the discussion outside. The next moment, she had already put on a gentle and understanding look and went to Zhao Yixuan's study with some food.
However, Zhao Yixuan was not angry because of this. At the same time, he stopped Madam Duan and the others at the door, saying that he was in a bad mood.
The reason why he was excited was that he saw a letter from Lin Mengya.
It was written in detail that there was actually such a heartless shady business hidden in a residential house in his city.
Zhao Yixuan suppressed his anger. After reading the letter, he burned it.
Staring at the remaining ashes, he felt that he had been completely fooled.
Right in his mansion, right under his nose, there was actually someone doing this kind of immoral business.
The most hateful thing was that he knew nothing about it!
With a loud bang, the sturdy desk made of solid wood was directly smashed into pieces by him.
The people outside were startled by him. They could only be more gentle, for fear that they would annoy the Old Master in the room.
After venting his anger, Zhao Yixuan stood up and walked out of the study.
The letter said that they hoped that he could come out and meet them.
However, before he reached the door, he was stopped by someone.
"Yixuan, where are you going?"
Madam Dowager also looked gloomy.
However, compared to Zhao Yixuan and Madam Duan, she obviously believed the rumors outside.
She didn't like Fang Rao, but she didn't really like the woman who had given birth to her only grandson.
Therefore, this time, she did not come to force Zhao Yixuan to marry her. Instead, she came to discuss with Zhao Yixuan how to suppress Fang Rao's "ghost".
"I heard that there is a very effective Taoist temple outside the city. Why don't you invite the Taoist priest back to prevent the ghost from causing trouble again? I knew that Fang Rao's horoscope did not match my son's. I didn't expect that she would still want to torment people when she is dead. "
Madam Dowager's long-winded words made Zhao Yixuan's head hurt.
He did not have deep feelings for his biological mother, who had abandoned him and his father. After he became rich, she had shamelessly found him.
He had only brought her back to live out the rest of her life for the sake of his Fourth Uncle.
However, he did not expect that this person's greed would almost turn his family upside down.
When he thought about how the Old Madam in front of him had also interfered when he was being schemed against by Madam Duan, his face couldn't help but turn cold.
"If you really have nothing to do, then stay in the courtyard and cultivate your character. Don't come out and cause trouble. If you had been more tolerant when Fang Rao was still here, she would not have been so far apart from me for so many years. "
