Why Did You Provoke Her? She Can Tell Fortunes!-Chapter 324 - 297

She wanted to divorce him, but he absolutely disagreed.

"Not only that, at this time, because the family couldn’t come up with any more money, he set his sights on me just after I’d given birth."

Mu Yunchu just listened quietly, becoming the perfect listener. She didn’t show even a hint of sympathy due to the other’s tragic experiences.

"In order to gamble further, he was arranging buyers to sell me."

Her tone was as calm as if she was not talking about her own experiences.

At this time, the Li Family stepped in to rescue me.

The Li Mansion’s young lady was just born and urgently needed a wet nurse, and I happened to fit the role, so for ten silver, I was sold to the mansion.

"I became the wet nurse of the Li Mansion’s legitimate daughter, and after hearing my story, Mr. Li and Madam Li made that scoundrel sign a divorce document."

It’s worth mentioning that after they learned that their own child was sold, they also spent some effort trying to find her back, but only received news that she disappeared after being taken out of the city.

Although they had no results, I kept in mind the kindness of the couple towards me.

Thus, I am truly grateful to these two people.

"Unable to repay them, I can only care for Miss Li with much more devotion."

Speaking of Miss Li, the old lady’s face revealed a sincere smile.

"She was indeed such a lovely little girl."

Having just lost my own child, and out of gratitude, I poured all my energy and love into this person.

It’s no exaggeration to say I treated the child just like my own.

"She liked to eat pastries from outside, but since Mr. Li didn’t allow her to go out, I learned to make them for her by hand."

Later on, I unknowingly acquired this outstanding skill.

"I know how to make many pastries, but she still loves my peach blossom cake the most."

The old lady looked down at the large plate of pastries in front of her.

"I watched her grow up little by little, witnessed her first steps, her first time calling for her mother, and her first marriage..."

"I have never seen her so fond of a man."

"That man’s family situation was ordinary, and the young lady quarreled with Mr. Li many times over it."

However, Mr. Li wasn’t entirely unwilling to agree to the marriage just because of the man’s poor family situation.

"Aside from fearing the young lady would suffer if she married into that family, he saw from the other’s appearance that he wasn’t a gentleman."

At this point, the old lady’s face suddenly turned gloomy.

"In the end, Mr. Li indeed guessed correctly."

Mu Yunchu interrupted for the first time, "So...this Miss Li from the Li Mansion is Li Shang."

"Yes."

Though she already made this connection in her heart, it was the first time she heard a definite answer from the other.

"Her real name is Li Shang."

Mu Yunchu fell silent.

Actually, none of this is that hard to guess.

For example, when she first met Li Shang, she was wearing a wedding dress.

It’s just that her memory seems to have problems. The old lady’s account of events differs greatly from what she was told at that time.

Mu Yunchu trusts the latter more.

Because everything aligns with what she saw in the Illusion Realm.

Speaking of the Illusion Realm, Mu Yunchu’s face darkened a bit.

Who exactly is the water ghost, and why does the Illusion Realm mediated by it recreate Li Shang’s life?

Or perhaps, does Li Yunhe behind the scenes know something?

For now, Mu Yunchu can only speculate and can’t get answers.

She raised the experiences Li Shang narrated to her.

The old lady didn’t understand why Li Shang’s memories were jumbled in her mind after she became a ghost; it wasn’t something she could explain. She could only tell Mu Yunchu, during her lifetime, Li Shang was definitely in a very normal state.

"Maybe being betrayed by someone she loved, causing over a hundred of people in her entire family to be raided, affected her."

Just like Mu Yunchu experienced in her dream.

Li Shang’s father finally agreed to the marriage, but the condition was the man must join the Li family as their son-in-law.

In the ancient male-dominated world, such things were ridiculed.

Since then, he was labeled as a ’kept man.’

But in truth, Mr. Li was just worried that his daughter would suffer if she married into such a poor family.

What was unexpected was that the man actually agreed.

He even became someone who brought glory to the family.

This matter was unclear from Mu Yunchu’s perspective, but if Wen Xu were here, he would deeply feel it.

Clearly a man, yet covered by a wedding veil, each time would be met with especially enthusiastic applause and cheers. All the guests, including his parents, spoke of his later life of carefree prosperity. No one felt ashamed by the fact that a man was marrying into the Li family.

However, due to the nature of the Illusion Realm, many things are based on the creator’s mind or consciousness, but the difference from reality won’t be too great.

The man agreed, and after the wedding, lived with Li Shang in the Li family; the two spent a happy time together.

"But none of us expected that he deceived everyone."

On a supposedly normal night, the Li Mansion was raided.

This part was the deepest for Mu Yunchu in the Illusion Realm.

Every retrospective was to relive the night of the raid.

And with each cycle, her spirit increasingly overlapped with the characters in the Illusion Realm, each time feeling deeper pain.

The old lady paused and said the most chilling things in the calmest tone, "That night, everyone died, including me."

Mu Yunchu said nothing.

The old lady looked at her, "I sense a frightening aura from you."

"This aura didn’t exist during our previous meetings."

These words surprised Mu Yunchu somewhat.

She couldn’t help but speculate if what King Yan gave her caused such an impact?

The old lady went on, "I’m not sure what it is, but I can confirm you can suppress me. So your target is me, right?"

Mu Yunchu didn’t answer this question directly.

"Do you know why you can live for so long?"

The old lady recalled things from long ago.

By her era’s calculation, she had lived for at least six or seven hundred years.

Never aging nor dying, just wandering like a monster among humans.

She had to change where she lived every now and then, afraid someone would recognize her.

"I only remember being stabbed by a soldier that day, lying on the ground, feeling cold, increasingly cold, and then losing consciousness."

"When I woke, I found myself in a mass grave in the back mountain, unchanged except the wound on my body had disappeared."

"I walked back to the Li Mansion on foot, only to hear from passersby that there was no one alive from the Li Mansion."
