After rebirth, I teamed up with the scumbag's mistress

Today, Liu Yuefu drove to Daoning Mountain in the suburbs of Beijing and went straight to the haunted hot spring villa that Boss Wu had sold to her at a low price.

When they arrived at the place, Liu Yuefu got off the carriage and what came into view was a shabby, rotten wooden gatehouse.

Walking in, Liu Yuefu saw weeds everywhere, some of which were as tall as a person. Not far away, there were several remnants of wooden buildings, with only some messy wooden frames piled together, showing the former glory of this place.

Liu Yuefu didn't stop, she walked inside.

When the wind blows, the weeds swell up and down, and a whistling sound can be heard in my ears.

There were several dead trees that had been burned inside, and some of the trees even had half of their branches burnt black.

It's another cloudy day today, with no clouds in the sky and a gloomy sky.

Chun Tao was shivering beside her, and asked with a trembling voice: "Madam, it's so dark out there, will there be any unclean things here?"

"Ah!" Hua Ling suddenly screamed, "There's a ghost!" She just saw a flashing black shadow in the grass.

"Ah!" Chuntao hugged Hualing and screamed too.

Then, a pitch-black cat ran away from them gracefully with its cat steps and soon disappeared into the grass.

"Ah? It's a cat." Chuntao let go of the hand that was hugging Hualing.

Liu Yuefu held her forehead with her hand, "What else could it be?"

"Madam, it is rumored that this farm is haunted. I heard that the ghost is quite fierce." Chuntao's eyes darted around uncontrollably.

"Where did the ghosts come from?" Liu Yuefu didn't disbelieve in these ghost stories. After all, she had been a ghost for a period of time.

But she felt that even if there was a ghost here, it had no grudge against them and would not harm them.

After all, every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt has its creditor.

This can never be brought upon myself.

Besides, even if it is a ghost, so what? Just like myself back then, what can a soul do?

Even a fierce ghost couldn't defeat the other party when he was a human, so can he defeat the other party as a ghost? Not necessarily.

Therefore, Liu Yuefu was very calm.

As the three of them walked further and further inside, the whistling sound in their ears became louder and louder, and the sky became darker and darker.

"Madam, you...you are not afraid at all?" Chuntao asked with a trembling voice.

"I'm not afraid. There's nothing to be afraid of." Liu Yuefu replied calmly.

Seeing that Chuntao and Hualing were scared, she held their hands on the left and right.

"Ah! What is that?" Chuntao suddenly screamed and shouted.

This time it was another black shadow that flashed by. It was very big and didn't look like a small animal.

Liu Yuefu stood up and chased after them, "You two stay here, I'll come find you later."

"No, ma'am, we'll go with you!" Chuntao and Hualing answered loudly in unison.

Liu Yuefu followed the black shadow closely, but the black shadow suddenly made a sharp turn, trying to get rid of Liu Yuefu.

Liu Yuefu accelerated and shouted loudly: "Stop him!"

The black shadow was heading towards Chuntao. When Chuntao saw the black shadow coming towards her, she closed her eyes and pounced forward.

The black shadow didn't expect that someone would dare to block her from behind, and she bumped into Chuntao.

Chuntao was stunned. It was a human, and a girl at that.

At this time, Liu Yuefu and Hua Ling also caught up.

This is a woman wearing a black cloak with a hood, her entire body hidden in the black clothes.

Liu Yuefu pulled her up and lifted her hood.

Liu Yuefu covered her mouth all of a sudden. She...

Her face, from the right cheek to the neck, was covered with burn scars, but her face was unusually pale, making the scars look particularly terrifying.

The sudden light seemed to sting her eyes, and she squinted.

She must have been used to wearing a cloak, so she quickly put the hood back on.

"Madam, may I ask who you are...?" Liu Yuefu asked tentatively.

"I...I was originally the dancer of Mr. Zhou, the owner of this manor. My name is Pei Manyong." said the woman in the black cloak.

"Mr. Zhou?" Liu Yuefu recalled carefully.

Yes, before Boss Wu bought it, this farm was indeed owned by a family named Zhou. One day, a fire suddenly broke out in the farm, and then Boss Wu naturally bought it from a branch of Mr. Zhou's family.

"Are you the only survivor of the fire?" Liu Yuefu asked.

Pei Manyong didn't say anything.

She was about to run away, but Chuntao grabbed her and made her stay.

"Don't worry, I am not in the same group with that Boss Wu. I have no ill will towards you or the Zhou family," Liu Yuefu said in a gentle voice.

Pei Manyong said coldly: "How do I know whether what you said is true or false?"

"Let me put it this way. I used a trick to snatch this farm from Boss Wu. Tell me, can I still be in cahoots with him?" Liu Yuefu asked back.

"Besides, you are in this state now and I am also a woman. Is there any need for me to lie to you?" Liu Yuefu asked.

Pei Manyong's eyes suddenly darkened, and then suddenly became hot.

"I am here, guarding this farm."

Chuntao muttered in a low voice, "What the hell is going on in this farm? I'm afraid it's this Miss Pei who's playing tricks on me."

Pei Manyong pretended not to hear and continued, "Since the fire, I have lived in a thatched hut near the ruins, guarding the Zhou family. I grow vegetables and pick wild fruits on Daoning Mountain where the farm is located for food. I also drink spring water from the mountain. It has been nine years in a flash."

"It's all so that I can avenge the Zhou family one day. Mr. Zhou treated me very well. I had a hard life. I was sold to a brothel shortly after I was born. It was he who redeemed me and gave me a new, stable and happy life." Pei Manyong said this with endless sadness in her tone.

"He never beat or scolded his servants or singing and dancing girls, and he had a very good temper. When he was in a good mood, he would take us out to play. In his free time, he would teach us to read, write and play chess." Pei Manyong said as she burst into tears.

She suddenly knelt down, "Can you, can you help me, I want to meet the man named Wu alone. Did you guess it too? He was the one who set the fire!"

"When I rushed out of the fire, I saw their carriage leaving from the side door of Zhou's house." Pei Manyong lowered her head, her voice filled with uncontrollable sadness.

"But you have no physical evidence. This cannot convict him." Liu Yuefu sighed and then said, "I think you also know, otherwise you wouldn't have been playing tricks here for so long. It's just that you are weak and a slave. After the fire, your identity is even more unknown. I'm afraid you can't even enter the city."

"Get up." Liu Yuefu reached out to pull her.

"From now on, you just follow me. You can continue to stay in this manor. As for revenge, there is hope as long as you live well. What do you think?" Liu Yuefu asked in a gentle voice.

"But I'm about to die..." Pei Manyong grabbed Liu Yuefu's hand and stood up. She lowered her head and spoke softly with a hint of despair.

"What's going on?" Liu Yuefu asked with a frown.
