Shujun used both her hands to pull the edge of the blanket to cover half of her face, almost burying her head in her knees as she started sobbing. Looking at her, she doesn't seem to be afraid, but rather, there was a hint of unwillingness and resentment within her expression.

At this moment, Hong Haibin floated over from the shadows and stood beside the bed. He raised his hand and placed it on Shujun's shoulder. Shujun was curled up in the corner, and her entire body was trembling slightly.

I looked at Hong Haibin as if I wanted to comfort Shujun, but Shujun couldn't touch him.

A wry smile appeared on Hong Haibin's face as he spoke in a helpless manner. " I killed her. "

Beside Hong Haibin, a white light flashed. Su Su came out from the shadows. She looked at Hong Haibin worriedly and patted her back twice, as if comforting Hong Haibin.

Su Su couldn't stand the light. The moment she came out, I noticed that she didn't look too good. Hong Haibin quickly embraced Su Su and went back into the dark. However, he gave me a pleading look.

He didn't say anything, but I could guess what was going on. I pulled back the blanket that was soaked in hot water and put my arm around her shoulders. Her body was very cold.

As for my embrace, it made her feel a trace of warmth. This time, she didn't reject it and instead, stuck onto my body, crying loudly.

After staying still for two minutes, the sound of Sue's crying gradually lessened. I used a tissue to wipe her tears away, held her shoulders and whispered to her. Shujun, now that the Ghost Infant is dead, you can tell me what's in your heart. "

Shujun raised her head and looked at me in a daze. The emotions in her eyes were very complex, making it hard for me to tell what she was thinking.

I looked down and thought about it, and then I said to her. " Rest assured, Daoist Priest Su and I have already said that we would help you, and now that Old Master Hong is still awake, no matter what difficulties you have in your heart, you should at least feel better.

She slowly relaxed her body. In between her eyebrows, there was a hint of melancholy.

She turned her head away, still not saying a word. I sighed. Since she didn't want to say it, then maybe it was all her fault.

I looked at Taoist Su, who gave me a slight nod.

I got up and we were ready to leave, but as soon as I got up, Shu-jun grabbed me by the wrist.

"Her eyes were filled with pain and sadness. She let out a loud cry and said so while crying." I originally came here to marry Hai Bin. "

I looked at her in surprise and immediately sat back on the bed. Susu Jun was leaning on my bed, her slender fingers white as she tightly held onto my hand. Her eyes didn't have a focus as she spoke in a sorrowful voice. It was Hong Haibin who lied to me. I was going to marry him, but in the end, I ended up marrying his father! "

As Shujun cried, she poured out the bitterness in her heart to me.

About half a year ago, Sue gave birth to a ghost baby, and Hong Haibin sent her away.

After the Ghost Infant was sent away, that same night, it died in the house of the person who adopted it. The family also informed Hong Haibin that this matter was too unlucky, as the child had just gone to their house and died in less than half a day. However, Hong Haibin did not bring the child's corpse back to the Hong family, but, under the instructions of Master Hong, he gave them a large sum of money to bury the child.

In short, Old Master Hong's intention was that as long as the child isn't brought back, anything will be fine.

Not long after that family buried the Ghost Soul, they discovered that the family was constantly in a state of chaos, causing their entire family to be unable to live in peace. Even their livestock had suffered.

Fortunately, that family, after living in the Buddhist temple, invited an old monk from the temple to come and see them. With a single word, the old monk revealed his identity as a ghost child.

That family didn't dare to keep the Ghost Soul. They quickly dug out the child's corpse and didn't greet the Hong family. They directly brought it back and placed it in front of their house.

We did hear a bit about what happened afterwards. Susu knew that the child was dead and that the child had been brought back. She buried the child under a locust tree in the back of the Hong family compound, regardless of her family's objections.

Afterwards, the ghost soul continued to haunt Hong Haibin. Hong Haibin began to fall ill, and his body became weaker and weaker. He was on the verge of death, and when Su Su picked the herbs for Hong Haibin, she also unluckily died.

In such a short period of time, his son and his daughter-in-law had both died early and become people on the verge of death.

When he found the family that had adopted the Ghost Soul, he asked a few questions and found out that the Ghost Soul was actually the one who had come to take his life. It turned out that the Ghost Soul was unwilling to accept all of this.

Old Master Hong was afraid of his son, so he left! He posted a notice saying that he wanted to marry a wife and make love to the Hong family.

Although the Hong family was rich and powerful, as long as they married into the Hong family, they would be able to live a rich life without worrying about food or drinks. However, no matter which family they belonged to, no matter how greedy they were, they would not dare to send their children to the Hong family.

After all, everyone knew about the Hong family. Not to mention marrying into their family, even when the Hong family's female servants went out, no one dared to approach them in the village.

Old Master Hong kept offering higher stakes, but no one was willing to do so. At this time, Matriarch Hong, who had always been abroad, immediately returned to her hometown and found Old Master Hong, saying that she agreed to marry into the Hong family!

The reason for that was because Shujun had grown up alongside Hong Haibin when they were young. When they were young, they had once been lovers, and when they were paired together, they were a perfect match.

It was only later that the two of them had to part because of some matters. Hong Haibin had married Susu and Shujun had left home. If she hadn't heard about Hong Haibin's incident, she probably wouldn't have come back.

Knowing that Hong Haibin was in trouble, Shujun decided to marry into the Hong family regardless of her family's objections. However, it was only after she married into the Hong family that she regretted her decision! It turned out that Master Hong's intention was not to marry his son, Hong Haibin, but to renew his own marriage.

Hong Haibin's mother passed away the day he married Susu.

For the past few years, Master Hong had never married. Shuquan said that after she came back, she had come to the Hong family and met Hong Haibin once.

When he saw Hong Haibin, he had to rely on medicine to hang on to his sickbed all day and only had half a life left. He felt extremely pained and asked Hong Haibin in tears if he was willing to marry her into the Hong family.

She was overjoyed to think that she was going to marry Hong Haibin. However, she never would have thought that she would become Hong Haibin's stepmother instead of marrying Hong Haibin.

When she was young, she had been daydreaming about wedding night countless times. She had never thought that she would be having sex with an old man who was close to sixty years old.

Years later, she had lost all of the happiness and hope of her life. She regretted that in her wishful thinking, she had even thought that now that Hong Haibin's wife was dead, she would be able to fulfill her dream of marrying Hong Haibin.
