That morning Song Yan woke up with pain all over her body, she did not know how many times she was jolted left and right by Fu Yu Sheng. All she knew was that she was woken up again and again by that man, even when she pinched the soft meat of his waist he did not stop making it impossible for her to get away from his grabby paws.
" That damned man, where did he get so much energy?" She questioned as she slid off her bed only to stumble after taking a few steps. It was so bad that Song Yan felt that even her wedding night was not this bad even then she could at least wash herself without stumbling like this!
She turned to look at the empty side of her bed and gritted her teeth, Fu Yu Sheng must have known that he was in a lot more trouble once she woke up which was why he escaped after cleaning her up.
" Once he gets back … I will definitely… castrate him, Oww—-" she moaned before pushing herself off the floor and heading inside the bathing room, only to find traces of their wild night decorating her from neck to the bottom and then down to her feet.
As she stared at her reflection, Song Yan covered her face and sighed, " I guess I have to wear a turtleneck shirt once again!"
….
" Good morning, Second Madam," when Assistant Xi arrived Song Yan was eating her breakfast. He looked at Song Yan's sullen expression and then remembered the happy expression on his boss's face which was quite similar to a cat who succeeded in licking the cream of the milk and cleared his throat. " I would like to thank you for helping me, Second Madam."
Song Yan finished her porridge and then stood up from her chair before shaking her head and replying, " There is no need for you to thank me for something so small. This is my job even if you were a stranger, I would have come to help you."
Eradicating ghosts with malicious intentions was her responsibility, there was no way she was going to ignore a case just because she was overworked.
Assistant Xi smiled politely at Song Yan, though he knew that his boss's wife was really polite and nice. He still maintained a respectful attitude throughout their journey and explained everything to Song Yan about what was going on in the house of his cousin.
Turns out, that Assistant Xi's cousin was an archaeologist. Last month, he went to excavate a tomb which belonged to a king, from there he brought a small piece of jade ring. Though most of the historical artefacts were seized by the government, Assistant Xi's cousin was able to smuggle that small jade ring, thinking that he would be able to sell it for a small fortune for himself.
Since that ring came from rubble instead of the tomb even the officials did not care about it and turned a blind eye to it. They thought that the ring did not have any significance as it was lying carelessly in the rubble which was filled with human bones.
But after Assistant Xi's cousin, Xi Sang brought that ring, weird things started to happen in his house. The hens raised by Xi Sang's mother all died and their pet dog was found dead near Xi Sang's room.
" At first their family thought that it was their neighbours who poisoned their animals and killed them one by one," stated Assistant Xi while driving the car. " But then on the fifteenth of the last month they heard a woman singing followed by the sound of someone chopping in the kitchen. My aunt went to look for what was happening thinking it was a thief but to her terror, she found a ghost …holding a knife and chopping a piece of bloody meat. She was terrified and fell sick."
" Only then did that foolish boy confess that he brought this ghost who was attached to the jade ring with him because she was beautiful and talented unlike other girls who only relied on their beauty to climb up the social ladders and had no wits inside their heads," a sigh escaped his lips as he shook his head and continued, " In fact, it would be right to say that Xi Sang is a face con who has high expectations about everything because he lives in the countryside he doesn't meet beautiful women as per his requirements. When this ghost appeared from the jade ring, Xi Sang found her completely befitting to his tastes and he insists that she is a smart woman who knows everything."
Song Yan narrowed her eyes before she remarked, " I believe that this ghost is an evil being…some ghosts who latch on their remnants can take the appearance of those whom they want to possess."
" I think so too," said Assistant Xi with a worried voice. " But Xi Sang insists on staying with the female ghost saying that she is tailor-made for him and they were a match made in heaven, it's just that they were born in the wrong eras and thus missed each other."
Song Yan's lips twitched as she stated, " Your cousin seems quite a romantic at heart."
Assistant Xi only sighed and did not say anything as they drove past the city and entered the countryside. "It's fine if he wishes to stay with that ghost but he is also forcing his parents to stay with them as the female ghost does not wish to break his family."
"From what you are saying that boy sounds like an idiot, are you sure he is an archaeologist?" Song Yan questioned which caused Assistant Xi to chuckle. " I am afraid that despite being an idiot when it comes to women, he is indeed an archaeologist."
Once he stopped laughing, his face was once again lined with worry as Assistant Xi remarked, " I hope that he will snap out of his daze before he makes things troublesome for everyone."
