At one in the morning.

In the entire town, apart from the street lamps, only the ancestral hall was brightly lit.

Because it was late, the masters went to rest. The people on the night watch couldn’t take it anymore and went to the room next door to slack.

At this moment, a twenty-five-year-old woman secretly walked to the boy’s coffin. She leaned against the coffin and cried. “Hanghang, Mommy’s darling, I’m here to accompany you.”

The young woman sat there in a daze with her fingers on the coffin, and her eyes were dark. She kept saying the same thing over and over like a puppet.

At this moment, an old madam walked out from the side and said unhappily, “Master said that the Yin Qi is heavy here at night. He told you not to come over and accompany Hangzhou. Why are you here again?”

The young woman acted as if she did not hear anything, her fingers still subconsciously caressing the coffin.

The middle-aged woman was furious. She strode over and tugged at her hair.

The woman lost her balance and fell to the ground.

Only then did she seem to come back to her senses. She looked at the middle-aged woman and said with a hoarse voice, “I just want to accompany Hang Hang. He’s afraid of the dark at night. If I don’t accompany him, he will be afraid.”

“You jinx, will he die if you take care of him properly? I’m warning you, you’d better not get sick. After Hang Hang is buried, you can start making babies with Mingtian.”

“Grandma, how can you say that? Hang Hang is the only son I have. I won’t have another one.”

Pa!

The middle-aged woman slapped her and said fiercely, “If you don’t give birth to another child, I’ll find another woman for Mingtian.”

“How can you say that in front of Hang Hang?”

Su Cuie was also angry. She got up and pushed the middle-aged woman.

The middle-aged woman did not expect Su Cuie to push her. After she fell to the ground, she glared at Su Cuie and got up to punch her.

The middle-aged woman was much stronger than Su Cuie. With just one hit, Su Cuie was badly bruised. When the others were woken up upon hearing the noises and rushed over, the middle-aged woman pushed Su Cuie onto the sharp corner of the coffin, and blood immediately started to flow from her forehead.

Slowly, the blood flowed into the coffin.

At this moment, the others rushed over. The middle-aged woman sat on the ground and started crying.

At that moment, the master looked at the coffin and realized that the coffin was emitting a red light that no one else could see. Surprise flashed across his eyes. Then, he looked at Yang Cuie, who was dizzy from the impact.

After Su Cuie was injured on the forehead, some blood flowed into the coffin. There was also some blood on her face, making her look a little scary.

The master suddenly pointed at her and accused loudly, “Do you know how serious the consequence of spilling your blood into the coffin is?”

When the others who were helping the middle-aged woman heard this, they quickly looked at Su Cuie with fear on their faces.

Su Cuie looked at the master in fear.

The master said in a low voice, “This kid is especially easy to turn into a malicious ghost because of the sudden death. After death, he might come back and take other kids with him. I restricted him from turning into a malicious ghost but the blood you spilt woke him up again.”

These words made Su Cuie feel dizzy and she almost fainted.

When the middle-aged woman heard this, she pointed at Su Cuie angrily. “I told you she’s a jinx. If Heng Hang really becomes a malicious ghost and comes back to take other children in town, we will be doomed.”

These words made everyone look at Su Cuie with hatred. The head of the Liu family and Liu Mingtian even wanted to kill her on the spot.

The head of the family asked, “Master, do you have a way to fix it? In the past few years, our Liu family town has had very few children. If that really happens, the number of children in our Liu family town will be even fewer. At this rate, we will eventually have no progeny.”

The others also started begging the master.

The master said in a magnanimous tone, “Don’t be anxious. Since you invited me here, I definitely won’t sit back and watch as this child turns into a malicious ghost and comes back to harm the other children. How about this? Let me make a prediction.”

With that, he narrowed his eyes and started predicting using his fingers.

Everyone held their breaths, feeling nervous and worried.

After a long while, the master opened his eyes and said, “There’s a way.”

“That’s great.”

“What way?”

At this moment, the master looked at Su Cuie and said, “The only way is to bury the mother and son in a coffin and then use the Soul Locking Spike to lock their souls. This way, we won’t have to worry about this child turning into a ghost and returning to harm you.”

“No…” Su Cuie was dumbfounded.” No, no, no…”

Then, she looked at her husband, hoping that he could plead for her. “Mingtian…”

Liu Mingtian felt bad, but he didn’t say anything.

Su Cuie froze. She knew that she couldn’t rely on her husband. She turned to point at the middle-aged woman and said sternly, “It was her who pushed me and caused me to hit the coffin. She even said in front of Hang Hang that we will get another son after he’s buried. She caused all of this. Why do I have to die and not her?”

The middle-aged woman shouted with a sharp voice,

“Su Cuie, how dare you accuse me like that?”

At that moment, the head of the family said to the master, “Master, we’ll do as you said. We can’t afford to lose any children in this town.”

“No! Mingtian, say something!” Su Cuie looked at her husband pleadingly. She could only rely on him now.

Liu Mingtian shut his mouth and didn’t say anything.

The hope in Su Cuie dashed, and hatred started surging in place of it.

The master nodded in satisfaction and said, “Put the mother and son together. I’ll seal the coffin so that you won’t have to worry about your son turning into a ghost.”

While Liu Mingtian was stunned, not knowing what to do, the middle-aged woman nudged him.

“Mingtian, we have to do it for the sake of the entire town. As long as she dies, the children of Liu family town will be safe.”

“No… No…”

…

The next day, Tang Li and Qi Yihan were woken up by the noise outside.

Qi Yihan patted her back and said, “I’ll go out and see what’s going on.”

Tang Li was very tired, so she closed her eyes and went back to sleep.

Qi Yihan got out of bed, put on his clothes, washed up, and went downstairs.

Just when Tang Li was drifting into her deep slumber, Qi Yihan shouted, “Li, wake up.”

Tang Li opened her eyes and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Qi Yihan frowned and said, “Something happened in town last night…” He told Tang Li what he heard and continued,” This doesn’t seem normal. Why don’t you go and take a look? ”

Tang Li nodded and sat up to put on the clothes Qi Yihan brought her. After washing up, the two of them went to the ancestral hall.

At this moment, everyone in the town came to the ancestral hall with anger written all across their faces.
