False evidence

Chapter 223 Only Three People I Hate (Part 1)

At my prompting, Pidan followed Gao He's lover away.

Fang Ling turned around and smiled, "This body suits me better."

"Do you believe what I just said?" I pretended to be calm, but I was extremely surprised inside.

According to Grandpa, after the ghost hand is revealed, I will be able to see some things that I couldn't see before.

However, even though they knew that Tong Jiawen had possessed Fang Ling, they couldn't see any trace of it.

"I believe you." Fang Ling looked at me, her expression suddenly becoming somewhat conflicted.

However, he quickly said, "At first, I really thought you were him. But then I started to have doubts. After hearing what you said before, I finally understand what happened. How did he die?"

"Hanged, died a horrible death."

Fang Ling suddenly smiled.

She was already beautiful, but her smile now added an extra touch of ethereal charm.

However, as she smiled, two lines of clear tears streamed down her face.

I subconsciously looked at the black umbrella that had become useless, and remembered the old woman who delivered the umbrella to Cao Furui, saying, "Let him protect it in the rain and snow." Looking at Fang Ling's (Tong Jiawen) expression at this moment, I sighed inwardly.

She certainly hated Lü Xin, but she definitely loved him even more.

After she wiped away her tears, I said, "Sister Ling is a good person."

She nodded: "I understand what you mean, I won't hurt her."

“Then you…” I glanced at the black umbrella again.

She said, "I said Fang Ling's body is suitable for me because she has lived in the place I lived since she was a child and has something of mine. Perhaps that is why she lacks intelligence. However, deep in her heart, there is a part of my consciousness."

Thinking of the amber ring that Fang Ling took to Dongtaimen to sell, I suddenly found myself leaning towards her explanation.

Just as he was about to speak, the other person continued, "Some things are truly wondrous. You might have thought that possessing this woman's body would harm her, but the truth is, I'm the one who saved her. As I said, she possesses a portion of my consciousness, making it easier for us to unite."

The moment I possessed her, I sensed that she would die soon after leaving this place. She would die in my house, ah, in her own home. She had lost her only remaining loved one; she couldn't go on living, and she didn't want to live anymore.

My heart pounded with fear. "If you trust me, leave her first!"

I thought the other party wouldn't agree, and I was about to explain when, to my surprise, they said "okay".

Then, Fang Ling's body trembled, and her expression became confused.

Looking at her face, a series of images flashed through my mind.

By the time I came to my senses, Fang Ling had already returned to her previous demeanor: "You believe what I said?"

All I could do was nod.

Compared to being possessed by her, and compared to the ending I saw for Fang Ling through the divination, that was so much better.

At least that's what I think.

Fang Ling has relied on Uncle Cheng since she was a child.

The death of her only close relative might be easy for most people to console, but Fang Ling has an intellectual disability and her dependence on Uncle Cheng is unimaginable to others and cannot be replaced.

If I had seen her before, when she wasn't possessed by Tong Jiawen, I would have been able to tell that she had already made the decision to die.

Fang Ling said, “I believe you, and you should believe me too. I am a ghost, but I have been in Cao Furui's place for decades. Cao Furui is not an ordinary tailor shop. Over the years, my hatred remains, but my yin energy has been weakened by their nourishment. I cannot harm the living. Yue Rong feels pain because my body is incompatible with hers. She can only feel the pain I suffered back then. Fang Ling is different.”

I believed her because the moment she left Fang Ling, she didn't return to the umbrella. While I was examining Fang Ling's face, I also glanced at her. I could tell she had absolutely no intention of harming anyone, at least not at this moment. Yes, Master was right; the ghost hand was revealed, and my eyes could see it too… ghosts.

Fang Ling continued, "In this life, I have loved one person and hated three people. I truly love Lü Xin, but if you really are him, or his reincarnation, I will still do everything in my power to kill you."

"Who else do you hate?" I asked instinctively.

"Zhao Boqing, Jiang Baohan."

"Why?" I asked, puzzled.

Fang Ling smiled slightly, but her smile was filled with a chilling hatred. "Why? Why? Why..."

I noticed she had been trembling from the beginning, so I pointed to the sofa next to me and said, "Sit down and let's talk."

Fang Ling sat down as instructed, and her posture was indescribable.

In short, she is different from the real Fang Ling, and her sitting posture is also different from the so-called politeness and manners of modern women.

When the other person said that the two other people they hated the most were Zhao Boqing and Jiang Baohan, I was not only surprised, but also disgusted.

Zhao Boqing was Tong Jiawen's first husband, and his entire family was later murdered, which can be said to be entirely caused by Tong Jiawen.

As far as I know, the house belonging to Uncle Cheng was previously owned by Jiang Baohan, who had married a very beautiful wife.

Based on the accounts of Liu Yier and Tong Jiawen herself, it can be confirmed that Jiang Baohan's wife is Tong Jiawen, who ended up in this place.

"You must be wondering why I hate both my ex-husbands. That's because you don't know what they did to me."

Next, 'Fang Ling'... it's more appropriate to use Tong Jiawen.

Next, Tong Jiawen explained why she hated these two men—

Tong Jiawen is indeed a lady from a distinguished family, born into a scholarly household.

How could a beautiful woman like Zhao Boqing, who is intelligent, wealthy, and of good character, possibly be interested in such a boorish man?

But such women are the kind of women that all men would flock to.

By chance, Zhao Boqing met her, and in modern terms, he was instantly captivated.

Zhao Boqing knew that the two families were not of equal social standing, but he still asked someone to propose marriage twice, only to be rejected both times. Undeterred, he relied on his many friends in the underworld and gathered a group of people to harass and make things difficult for the Tong family like thugs.

Not only that, but he also took the opportunity to smear Tong Jiawen.

Left with no other choice, the Tong family had to comply.

This marked the beginning of Tong Jiawen's tragic life.

Her hatred for Zhao Boqing was later avenged for her by Lü Xin. (This may also be one of the reasons why she was so devoted to Lü Xin.)
But Lü Xin was never faithful to one woman; he would only get tired of her and drain her dry before moving on to the next one.

Tong Jiawen was treated the same way.

Tong Jiawen's turbulent life in this city was something she didn't talk about, and I didn't ask her either.

In the end, she married Jiang Baohan, an honest man she believed she could rely on for the rest of her life.

But she never expected that she had misjudged someone again.

The honest Jiang Baohan turned out to be an even more terrifying person than Lü Xin.
