Marrying a playboy? She turned the tables and used a magical talisman to become famous throughout th

The old lady's face was shrouded in an eerie aura, caused by the invasion of malevolent spirits.

She couldn't say it directly at the time.

Yin Liuli secretly drew a "soul-summoning talisman" in her palm, and with a flick of her fingers, a faint figure slowly appeared before her eyes.

It looked like a little girl of about two years old, dressed in rich and luxurious clothes, but her whole body was covered in mud, and her mouth and nose were blocked tightly.

Yin Liuli raised her hand and sent out a small black piece of paper. The paper spontaneously combusted in mid-air without fire, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a black oil-paper umbrella, which slowly landed on the little girl's head.

"Hold on, it can shield you from the scorching sun and the intense heat of the human world."

The spirits of the dead roam at night and cannot stay in the sun for long, as they will be annihilated by the intense sunlight.

During the day, they usually hide in graves or the ground, or transform into a wisp of yin energy that clings to a person's shoulders, surviving by absorbing the yang energy from the two lamps on a person's shoulders.

This black umbrella is a Yin-Yang umbrella specifically designed to shield the spirits of the dead from the yang energy.

Yin Liuli spoke to the little girl with her heart,

"Tell me who you are, why you're with the old lady, and what you need help with?"

The little girl opened the black umbrella, stared at her pitifully with her round eyes, opened her mouth, and then burst into silent tears.

A wisp of talismanic light flashed from Yin Liuli's fingertip, cleaning the mud that had filled its mouth and nose.

"Speak."

……

Her conversation with the little girl's ghost was only a fleeting thought.

After clarifying the reason, Yin Liuli's expression turned serious, and she frowned as she asked the old lady,

"If I may be so bold as to ask you, Madam, did you ever lose a child when you were young?"

The atmosphere suddenly fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone held their breath, watching to see how Yin Liuli would offend the old lady of the Duke's family to death!

A smug look flashed across Yin Yuzhu's face.

The old lady's face stiffened, and she was about to fly into a rage.

But her inherent upbringing forced her to suppress her anger, and she looked coldly at Yin Liuli.

She was protecting this child just now, so why did this child have to choose to poke the place in her heart that she couldn't bear to touch!

Madam Xue pointed at Yin Liuli and angrily rebuked her.

"Shut up! What nonsense are you spouting!"

The old lady did indeed have a daughter when she was young, who was as cute as a little dumpling and was the third child in her family.

Because of her two older brothers, she was spoiled rotten by the whole family.

Who knew that when he was one or two years old, a cold took his life.

The death of her beloved daughter was like a knife to the old lady's heart; she couldn't recover for many years.

Many people know about this, but it's a taboo subject in the old lady's heart, and she can't bear to hear anyone mention it even now.

Yin Liuli said calmly,

"I asked the old lady, but she was unwilling to answer, so let it go."

The pain of losing a child is naturally indescribable for a mother. May I ask if the old lady has been dreaming of her recently, or having trouble sleeping at night?

If I'm not mistaken, the old lady won't be able to fall asleep until sunrise, so she can recuperate.

Over time, this will shorten the old lady's lifespan...

"Girl, how...how did you know?"

Before she could finish speaking, the old lady, her face filled with shock, grabbed Yin Liuli's hand and said in a trembling voice,

"I...I did lose a child. Recently, I've been dreaming about her every day. I dream that she's all disheveled and I can't see her clearly. She looks like she's about to cry."

No matter how I asked, she wouldn't say a word; she just stood in front of me and cried...

Liuli, why is she just crying? Is she blaming me, her mother, for being powerless back then?

"Sheng'er, Mother didn't want this either..."

As she spoke, the old lady's face was covered in tears, and her voice trembled uncontrollably.

"Madam, she didn't come to question Mother in your dream, but to beg for your help."

Yin Liuli sighed softly, took the old lady's hand and said, "It's just that her mouth and nose are blocked by mud, so she can't speak, and you don't understand what she means."

The old lady's heart skipped a beat.

"What did you say? How could her mouth and nose be blocked by mud?"

"Yin Liuli, what nonsense are you spouting! Do you even know anything about divination?"

Madam Xue scoffed, saying disdainfully, "Our third young lady died from a cold, not from drowning in the lake..."

Yin Liuli glanced at her and said slowly,

"There was a hidden spring beneath the Third Miss's tomb. The spring changed course and flooded her tomb."

Her body was covered in mud, and she suffered the excruciating pain of being submerged in icy water every day, as if she had fallen into hell.

"What a joke! You're talking nonsense. Our Duke's cemetery is built against the mountain; how could there be an underground river underneath?"

Xue gave a disdainful sneer.

"Elder sister, the Duchess's status is extremely noble; you mustn't speak carelessly!"

Taking the opportunity, Yin Yuzhu sarcastically remarked, "If you offend the old lady, you'll be in deep trouble if she punishes you!"

"Shut up, all of you!"

The old lady's face hardened, and she pointed at Yin Yuzhu angrily, "Get out! When did it become your place to interrupt when I was talking to Liuli?"

"Yanran, is this the daughter-in-law you chose? Does she have no manners at all?!"

"Mother, please don't be angry."

Madam Xue gave Yin Yuzhu a resentful look, "Get out of here now!"

Yin Yuzhu gritted her teeth and dared not say another word.

The old lady held Yin Liuli's hand and cried incessantly.

"Liuli girl, you...you really know Sheng'er? Tell me how to save her!"

"You, you help me tell Sheng'er that all these years, Mother has never forgotten her, Mother's heart has always been with my Sheng'er..."

Yin Liuli said softly,

"Madam, Miss Sheng'er is standing right next to me. She has a lot to say to you."

"If...if you'd like, I'll let you meet her."

The old lady trembled.

……

"Mother!"

Inside the room, Sheng'er slowly appeared before the old lady, holding a black umbrella.

"Sheng'er! You, you really are my Sheng'er... Mother misses you so much!"

The old lady was so excited she almost fainted. She rushed forward to hug her, but only managed to hug empty air.

Sheng'er looked at her and burst into tears.

"Mother, save me! Save Sheng'er! My tomb has been submerged by an underground river in the mountains. Mud and sand have blocked my mouth and nose, and I suffer from the icy, bone-chilling spring water every day. It's unbearable!"

The old lady was trembling so much she could barely speak.

"Madam, now that we are separated by life and death, she cannot stay in this world any longer."

Yin Liuli helped her up and said softly, "Your fate as mother and daughter in this life has come to an end. The only thing you can do for her is to repair her grave so that she can enter the cycle of reincarnation sooner."

……

After a long while, Yin Liuli helped the old lady out of the room.

Despite her tear-streaked face, the old lady looked remarkably relaxed, even sporting a smile, and appeared quite energetic.

Everyone hurriedly welcomed the old lady back to the pavilion, their faces filled with curiosity.

Yin Liuli invited the old lady back to her room, saying that she wanted to see her daughter who had been dead for more than 20 years. How could that be possible?

Yin Yuzhu felt like she was sitting on pins and needles, so frustrated that she wanted to slap herself!

She originally wanted to embarrass Yin Liuli and make fun of her in front of everyone, but unexpectedly, she made Yin Liuli shine in front of the old lady!
