Reborn Heiress: Seeking Revenge-Chapter 72 Her Grave_1

"Thank you, Grandpa, for loving Youyou so much. Youyou feels so blessed." As Shangguan You’s lips curved into a pure smile, Shangguan Rou’s eyes lowered, her hands clenching tightly. If this wretch stays, where will my place in this family be?

Li Wanying’s smile also stiffened momentarily before relaxing, regaining her usual gentle and virtuous demeanor. She patted Shangguan You’s hand. "Good child, it’s been hard on you. From now on, Aunt Li will definitely not let you suffer any further grievances."

"Thank you, Aunt Li," Shangguan You said with a gentle smile towards Li Wanying.

In the still of the night, Beijing was shrouded in a layer of thick fog amidst the pitch-black darkness. Shangguan You, having changed into black clothes, swiftly darted down from the window, her dark figure quickly vanishing into the night.

Shangguan You didn’t head towards familiar places. Instead, she moved toward the cemetery. She wanted to see her own grave and her grandfather’s, to witness just how ruthless Shen Cheng could be.

Like a gust of wind, her black figure moved towards the cemetery. She didn’t know where she and her grandfather were buried, so she could only search each new grave one by one.

The cemetery was silent, with only the cold wind blowing. As Shangguan You’s dark figure swept through like a breeze, the originally eerie place made her entire body feel exceptionally comfortable upon her arrival. Waves of Spiritual Energy rushed into her body.

Shangguan You had to halt her search, sitting cross-legged to quickly absorb the ambient Spiritual Energy. That such pure Spiritual Energy existed in the cemetery filled her with joy. She also realized that her own Spiritual Energy had reached a saturated state. Now, all she needed was an opportunity, and she believed she could break through to level 3 of the Medicine King’s Tune.

Exhaling a turbid breath, Shangguan You opened her eyes. A star-like glimmer flashed within them. She continued her search for her own tombstone.

In the most central part of the cemetery, Shangguan You saw two exceptionally familiar photographs. Her mouth opened, but no sound came out. Her body stiffened as she stared at that incredibly loving photograph, a torrent of pain engulfing her, sweeping through every inch of her skin.

That was her grandfather’s photograph. Shen Cheng had buried her with her grandfather.

Tears she could no longer hold back began to fall, drop by drop. Her standing body rigidly knelt on the ground. Crying before the tombstone with the loving old man’s photo, she wailed, "Grandpa, I’m sorry! It’s all my fault. I brought the wolf into our home. I didn’t listen to your teachings, hurting not only myself but also you. I failed to see through people’s deceit. Grandpa, Wanyou is so sorry!" Her choked sobs, interspersed with faint words, echoed throughout the cemetery, lending it a somewhat eerie atmosphere.

"Grandpa, I won’t let any of our enemies off. Rest in peace. What belongs to us, I will take back piece by piece. As for those who harmed us, your granddaughter will smile as she watches them cry. It won’t be long before they all come down to join you."

Hate filled Shangguan You’s voice, each word hanging heavily in the cemetery air.

After a while, Shangguan You wiped away her tears. Her gaze reluctantly shifted from her grandfather’s photo to her own grave beside it. I really want to know, who is buried in there? News of my death only spread half a year after I died, so it surely can’t be my body in this grave, can it?

Shangguan You chuckled coldly. If only I had X-ray vision, I could see what’s really inside. I’m so curious where Shen Cheng and Shen Qian hid my body.

The whistling wind blew by her ears, stirring Shangguan You’s hair. Her slender body stood before the tombstone. Her deep eyes, sparkling like stars, were fixed on the photo of a woman with a gentle, radiant smile—that was her, a year ago. Her lovely face, radiant smile, and choppy, shoulder-length hair all highlighted her determined and capable presence. Back then, after her grandfather had stepped back from the scene, she took over the Shen Family’s business in full. To avoid being underestimated, she had put away her feminine softness and displayed her strongest side to everyone.

The arrival of Shen Cheng shattered her inner peace. She gradually succumbed to his tender siege, raising him from an unknown man to a high-ranking company executive. After their marriage, she even slowly transferred some of her shares to him. Little did she know, it was like inviting a wolf into the house. As she transferred parts of her shares, her originally vigorous body began to weaken. Shen Cheng had poisoned her with a chronic toxin that left her powerless and listless, making her unable to handle company affairs. Gradually, she allowed Shen Cheng to take over the business, while her closest sister moved into her home under the pretext of taking care of her.

This provided the adulterous couple a legitimate excuse for their affair. With Shen Qian’s arrival, her health declined day by day...

At this thought, Shangguan You laughed self-deprecatingly and wiped the tears from her face. Now that I’ve returned, how could I possibly let that despicable pair get away with it?

With this resolve, Shangguan You’s figure once again disappeared from the cemetery.

As her form vanished, a tall, slender figure clad in black appeared where she had just stood. The man smirked devilishly, his long fingers stroking his chin. His pitch-black eyes gleamed as he stared at the photo of the smiling woman on the tombstone, muttering, "Shen Wanyou, Shangguan You. Quite interesting, quite interesting."

The man murmured to himself for a few moments, then vanished into the cemetery.

Xiangyang Villa was situated in a prime location amidst Beijing’s wealthy districts, a place where every inch of land was worth its weight in gold. It boasted beautiful scenery, surrounded by mountains and water, with ample sunlight. Waking up to the sight of the distant azure sea was one of its prime delights.

Shangguan You’s figure moved like a gust of wind toward Xiangyang Villa. She looked at the massive villa before her, complete with a private swimming pool and a garden lush with flowers. Seeing this luxurious villa, Shangguan You’s hands involuntarily tightened.
