Chapter 130: Taoist sister, you must be responsible for me!
Chapter 130: Taoist sister, you must be responsible for me!
Yi Mengyi slowly put her hands down, her eyes slightly curved, and looked at Lin Yu with a faint smile.
"Master, how do you know these things?"
She asked softly, her voice clear and pleasant.
Seeing this, Lin Yu smiled secretly in his heart and decided to imitate Shui Yuci's pretentious appearance to increase the sense of mystery.
So he did not directly answer Yi Mengyi's question, but said in a deep tone: "I guess Miss Yi has a half-brother, right?"
These words were like a thunderclap, exploding in Yi Mengyi's ears.
In an instant, her originally fair face turned as pale as paper.
But she quickly came to her senses, tried to suppress her inner panic, curled her lips slightly, and responded calmly: "The Taoist priest is really amazing!"
However, Lin Yu had already noticed the concealment in Yi Mengyi's words and gradually lost his patience.
He didn't want to continue beating around the bush with the other party, so he simply said straight to the point: "Miss Yi, just as I said just now. The reason why you are weak and depressed is entirely because of the two evil spirits attached to your back."
When Yi Mengyi heard this, she was immediately frightened. After all, she was still just a young girl, how could she withstand such a shock?
She stood up almost instinctively and wanted to turn around to see if there was really anything wrong with her back.
But due to the angle, she couldn't see her back at all.
At this moment, Yi Mengyi's mind kept emerging with everything that had happened since the death of her father's concubine and the son born to that concubine.
She clearly remembered that since then, her physical condition had deteriorated, and she tossed and turned at night and had trouble falling asleep. Once she fell asleep, she would be haunted by endless nightmares...
After taking a deep look at Shui Yuci, Lin Yu and others, she looked at Zhi Nian again.
If Sister Zhinian knew that I had killed someone, would she hate me for it?
This thought kept echoing in her mind, making her feel more and more uneasy.
Just as everyone was waiting for her to speak, a servant ran into the hall in a panic and whispered something into Yi Mengyi's ear.
Although the servant spoke in a very low voice, Shui Yuci and Lin Yu were able to hear it clearly thanks to their profound skills; and Zhi Nian, with the help of the "Thousand Mile Ears" skill granted by the system, was able to hear everything the servant said.
Yi Mengyi listened to the servant's report with a pale face and her body trembling slightly.
After the servants left, the hall returned to silence again, with only a few of them left, facing each other in silence.
At this moment Yi Mengyi fell into deep thought. This Taoist priest did not look like a smart person, and was even a little simple-minded, but he could easily see that she was in blood debt.
Then the Taoist priest who is said to be Sister Zhi Nian's partner is obviously very knowledgeable and he probably has seen through everything.
Maybe he has told Sister Zhi Nian about this... Thinking of this, Yi Mengyi felt even more depressed.
No wonder, when the door opened today, Sister Zhi Nian looked as if she wanted to say something but hesitated. This bad guy must have arranged it to be a mess!
Yi Mengyi turned her head and glanced at Zhi Nian. After a long silence, she slowly spoke: "Master, what you said is very true."
Lin Yu had a calm expression on his face, but he was thinking to himself: Humph, it's all in vain to be stubborn and to quibble!
Yi Mengyi said seriously: "Just as the Taoist priest said just now, I do have a younger brother.
Since my father passed away, there is only one concubine left in the family. Perhaps because my father still has deep feelings for my mother, he never made that concubine his principal wife.
However, now I am the only one left at home with my concubine and a stepson. They think that I will marry into another family in the future, so they make things difficult for me in the mansion...
That day, I was leisurely watching the fish by the pond, when my aunt and her stepson came to cause trouble. I am a bit skilled in martial arts, and I accidentally pushed him into the water...
If they had not pressed me so hard, causing me, the daughter of a legitimate wife, to suffer from hunger and torment all day long, how could I have lost my mind in an instant..."
When talking about the sad things, Yi Mengyi couldn't help but burst into tears.
Shui Yuci always paid close attention to Yi Mengyi's every move and her facial expression, and finally became convinced that she was not lying.
Zhi Nian watched silently, thinking that every family has its own difficulties, and it is not uncommon for a stepmother to be cruel.
She respected everyone's destiny, but she also wanted to see how Shui Yuci and others would properly handle the matter.
On the contrary, when Lin Yu saw Yi Mengyi's sad face, he felt pity for her and handed her his handkerchief to wipe her tears.
Unexpectedly, Yi Mengyi just raised her eyes and looked at him, then lowered her head and took out a pink handkerchief from her arms.
Lin Yu nodded his head in embarrassment, then put away his handkerchief. He carefully comforted her, "Don't be too sad, Miss Yi. If someone bullies you, you should fight back. You did nothing wrong. But it hurt someone's life after all..."
Afterwards, Lin Yu found it difficult to speak. After all, taking someone's life was just too much.
He sighed helplessly and said firmly, "In short, we will definitely help you get rid of those two evil spirits."
Seeing that Lin Yu did not mention the key point, Zhi Nian stepped forward and added: “Miss Yi, please rest assured that this matter itself has nothing to do with you.
The ones who bullied you were at fault, and you just acted in self-defense.
Even if the matter is brought to the authorities, you will not be held guilty at all, so you don’t need to put too much psychological pressure on yourself.”
Yi Mengyi looked at Zhi Nian with gratitude, listening attentively to every word he said.
That's right, she did nothing wrong. The real mistakes were made by those who had been bullying her all along.
Lin Yu nodded repeatedly, agreeing with Zhi Nian's statement: "Yes, Miss Zhi is right."
Why is Miss Zhi so eloquent?
He actually expressed everything that was in his mind. He is really good at summarizing and generalizing!
At this moment, Shui Yuci gently put down the teacup in her hand, and then unexpectedly took out several pieces of talisman paper and silently chanted a spell.
In an instant, she waved her arm, and the talismans flew towards Yi Mengyi like arrows, and stuck steadily to Yi Mengyi's body.
Yi Mengyi suddenly felt that her body, which had been feeling heavy in recent days, suddenly became much lighter. She let out a long breath, and her heart instantly felt refreshed.
Not only that, at this moment, she seemed to hear a sharp and piercing scream.
So she looked up hurriedly, but was stunned!
A wet female ghost was screaming hysterically and flying towards the top of the beam, while the ghost baby surrounded by black air seemed to have suffered a serious injury and fell to the ground in a mess.
However, both of them bared their teeth fiercely at the most powerful Shui Yuci, with murderous looks on their faces.
