Song Yan sneered. It would be fine if that ghost really does not make a loud splash because if she ended up causing chaos, Shen Yu will not be able to escape from getting scalded either. As for Assistant Xi's uncle's family, they are bound to regret their decision of going soft-hearted with their son's stubbornness.
She was almost certain that this female ghost was not only carrying a bunch of regrets, she was most probably obsessed with making up those regrets. A ghost's obsession was even worse than having a malicious ghost in the house, a malicious ghost can be dealt with as long as they were detected but once a ghost with obsession latched on a human, the ghost's grudge will create a grudge field causing harm to not only the family upon whom the ghost latched as well as those who were around them.
Considerate? Letting a ghost who died innocently a chance to live its life?
Only fools will do something like this and only those fools who were tired of living!
Song Yan did not say anything to Shen Yu who was trying to provoke her and closed the window of the car before asking Assistant Xi to drive away. She would love to see if Shen Yu will be able to smile like this in the upcoming days.
" I am sorry," Assistant Xi on the other hand felt rather aggrieved when he thought of how his uncle and his family embarrassed Song Yan. This was his boss's wife! The second madam of the Fu family and yet his uncle dared to treat her like she was an unskilled master and tried to suck up to that Shen Yu who wasn't even treated well by Gu Chenyi.
Many were aware of her engagement with Gu Chenyi but Master Gu had never accepted that engagement publicly it was only the Old Master Gu who brought Shen Yu along and introduced her as Gu Chenyi's fiancée but that thing had been going on for years and nothing came out of it till day.
" There is no need for you to apologise," Song Yan glanced at the house where Xi Sang lived with his family and then took out a bunch of grudge-retaliating talismans from her storage ring before she handed them all to Assistant Xi and said, " Though I am not sure how that ghost was able to hide her true self but I am certain that she is a ghost with a deep grudge, you should keep these talismans on your body all the time lest her grudge latches onto you." Once the grudge of a ghost was latched on someone, they will be haunted by that ghost till they end their lives.
When Assistant Xi heard Song Yan's words, he pursed his lips in silence. He wished he could shake Xi Sang awake and let him see the truth but he knew that his cousin was stubborn as a bull. No matter what Assistant Xi said to him now, he will not listen to even a single.
" He looked quite competitive, is there something going on between the two of you?" Seeing that Assistant Xi was staying quiet, Song Yan questioned remembering the glare that Xi Sang shot at Assistant Xi when the latter tried to stop him from staying together with that ghost.
Assistant Xi sighed and then nodded, "It's all because of our parents. Or more like his own father, Uncle Yunxi always compared Xi Sang with me. You can say that it was his favourite past time to bring his son down while telling him, how good I was in everything, second madam."
" Xi Sang grew up listening to my uncle's yammering which is why his confidence took a severe blow and he developed a sort of resistance towards me. Of course, my uncle did not mean any harm, he only wanted Xi Sang to learn something from me but young as he was, he couldn't see through the intentions of my uncle. He simply thought that his father liked me better than him because I was better than him… of course, there were times I tried to make him understand but …." He trailed off sighing which cleared of most of Song Yan's questions.
" So he deliberately married that ghost because he thinks that you can't find a woman who is that perfect?" Song Yan further questioned as Assistant Xi turned the car to the left and went over to the highway.
" I guess," Assistant Xi replied with a shrug. " My family moved to the city once I passed college with flying colours and got a job at the Fu corporation. But my cousin went to a second-grade college because he was too rebellious when he was supposed to be studying and then became an archaeologist but his skills are only mediocre which is why he doesn't have a name for himself. It was by a stroke of luck that he found this tomb."
" Though I have never showed off in front of him but maybe who knows…" Assistant Xi did not say anything but Song Yan understood that Xi Sang wanted to beat Assistant Xi in something which was why he jumped into the ghost marriage once he realised that the female ghost was good in everything making her a perfect wife.
This was something that the women of this time did not have, if they were beautiful they were not as skilled in the classics and if they were skilled in the classics their feet and hands were calloused after working so hard. For those who were intelligent and wise, they were too career-driven, there was no way they would stay at home and cook, and even if they did they would need their husbands to help them—— and those who were homely they will not step out of the house waiting for their husbands to bring money but if their husbands failed in doing so they will look down on them.
But Xi Sang wanted everything he wanted his wife to be beautiful, soft-spoken, intelligent yet homely and someone who wouldn't look down on him while he was nothing good.
