"That girl Liuli has resolved my long-standing heartache; from this day forward, she is my goddaughter!"

The old lady was helped to wash her hands and face by the nanny, and then she sat gracefully on the chaise longue, slowly surveying the crowd.

"From now on, Liuli's affairs are my affairs. If anyone says anything they shouldn't and upsets her, don't blame me for disrespecting them!"

The words, though gentle, carried a strong warning tone.

"yes!"

The ladies and noblewomen responded, their eyes filled with envy as they looked at Yin Liuli.

Congratulations, Miss Liuli!

"To be favored by the Duchess of the State, Miss Liuli is truly blessed!"

……

The Duchess of the State is the current emperor's elder sister. It was with her and the Duke's help that the emperor was able to successfully seize the throne.

If the old lady of the Duke's family could recognize her as her goddaughter, wouldn't that mean she had one foot in the royal family?

"Grandmother, please have some tea."

Completely bewildered, Yin Liuli was guided by the nanny to kneel down and offer the old lady a cup of tea.

She didn't even know what was going on, yet she had unilaterally become the old lady's granddaughter.

Well, she quite liked this old lady.

"Liuli..."

Mrs. Zhen's eyes reddened with excitement, and she felt an indescribable joy and relief in her heart.

"Liuli, I never imagined you'd become my sister!"

Fang Zhengyun winked excitedly at Yin Liuli, patted his chest generously, and said, "If you ever need anything, just tell your brother Yun, and I'll take care of it for you!"

He was deeply shocked to have just witnessed Yin Liuli use magic to summon the spirit of his aunt who had passed away twenty years ago.

Before anyone could even see how she cast the spell, all they saw was that slender finger flip...

This girl was incredibly beautiful, had a free and unrestrained personality, and possessed such powerful Taoist skills; she simply captured his heart!

Unfortunately, she will soon become his cousin's wife.

"..."

Yin Liuli rolled her eyes at him. "I'm two months older than you."

"Sizzle..."

The soft sound of a silk handkerchief tearing echoed in Yin Yuzhu's hand.

Her fingers were bleeding from the effort, and jealousy, resentment, and anger surged through her chest. If she hadn't clenched her teeth tightly, she might have coughed up a mouthful of blood!

Madam Xue's face also looked somewhat unpleasant, and she forced a smile.

"Mother is in a much better mood, and I'm happy for her too. Why don't we have someone serve us food so we can eat, drink, and chat in a lively atmosphere?"

"etc."

Yin Liuli turned to look at Madam Xue, a cold smile playing on her lips.

"May I ask if Madam Xue has been experiencing palpitations or dizziness recently?"

Startled by those eyes, Madam Xue instinctively raised a hand to her head and asked hesitantly,

"N-nothing... What's wrong?"

Not only does she experience palpitations and dizziness, but she also frequently experiences blurred vision, often feeling as if a blurry white shadow is floating in front of her.

But how could she dare to say it in public?

Even if there isn't.

Yin Liuli stepped forward, a chilling smile creeping into her eyes.

"You might occasionally see a white shadow flash past your eyes, and you always feel a chill run down your spine, like ants crawling on a carnivore. Am I right?"

Madam Xue's heart pounded, and she forced herself to speak.

"What exactly are you trying to say?!"

Yin Liuli stopped in front of her, his cold, sharp eyes fixed on her, his aura aggressive and intimidating.

"Your eyes are dark and you can barely hold your makeup on. This indicates a deficiency of Yang energy and a pale complexion."

A faint white streak appears in the eyes; this is a symptom of being possessed by a vengeful ghost...

They've come to claim your life, and you're asking me what to do?

The more smug you were when you were making fun of me and my mother, the more terrified you will be in a moment.

As soon as he finished speaking, all the noble ladies and ladies were greatly shocked.

A chilling sensation, like an electric current, shot through my entire body from the back of my neck.

"What nonsense are you spouting!"

Madam Xue involuntarily shivered, and angrily rebuked, "Yin Liuli, how dare you frame me!"

Yin Liuli sneered.

"Don't you know whether this is a frame-up or not? Let me tell you, the ones who took your life were an extremely vicious mother and son."

Mother and child? Could it be...?

Madam Xue was stunned; her face turned deathly pale.

The atmosphere became tense and somber.

The crowd exchanged glances, a chill running through them, as if they were sitting on pins and needles.

"Gentlemen, some matters have arisen at my residence, and today's banquet has been cancelled. Please forgive any rudeness."

The old lady's voice, as steady as a rock, rang out, "Someone, escort these distinguished guests out for me."

Everyone quickly got up to say goodbye. It didn't matter if they missed out on the gossip; what was truly dangerous was attracting a deadly demon!

After Qing left, the old lady slowly spoke.

"Liuli girl, no matter what Yanran did wrong, she will always be the mistress of our Duke's mansion."

"Girl, please help her for your grandmother's sake."

Yin Liuli nodded.

"Grandmother, Madam Xue was not the mastermind, nor did she personally spill blood. There is still a chance to save her."

Otherwise, I won't get involved in her karma!

Hearing such serious words, Madam Xue's pale face immediately turned green again...

I stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

"Yin Liuli, that's enough!"

Seeing this, Yin Yuzhu quickly stepped forward to help her up, her resentful eyes glaring at her angrily, "Don't think that just because you have the old lady's backing you can talk nonsense!"

Madam Xue has always been kind-hearted; how could she be haunted by vengeful ghosts? That's utter nonsense!

Yin Liuli glanced at her. "So, if something happens to her, would you be responsible?"

Yin Yuzhu stared wide-eyed, speechless.

Yin Liuli said coldly,

"The Mother-Child Curse, also known as the Twin Curse of Mother and Child, refers to the tragic deaths of both the mother and fetus during pregnancy. The fetus, unable to be born and enjoy its full lifespan, harbors resentment that transforms into yin energy along with the mother."

Of all the methods of warding off evil spirits, the "Mother and Child Double Evil" is the most vicious.

"Ruri, what's going on?"

Upon hearing this, even Fang Zhengyun's expression changed. He rushed to Yin Liuli, "You...you're not trying to scare me, what happened to my mother?"

Yin Liuli raised an eyebrow slightly. "Then you'll have to ask her yourself."

"No, no...you, you must stop talking nonsense!"

Madam Xue's face was filled with terror, and she trembled uncontrollably, but she still stubbornly insisted, "What do you mean by 'twin demons'? I have no idea what you're talking about!"

If that matter were to be exposed, her reputation as the high and mighty Duchess would be ruined!

Yin Liuli snorted.

"Go ahead and be stubborn! Just a reminder, three days from now is an inauspicious day, when yin energy is dominant and yang energy is weak. Midnight is the time when yin energy is at its peak, and that mother and child will take your life then..."

"Gulp..."

Xue's legs went weak and she fell to the ground.

Recalling the horrific scene before that person's death, she was so frightened that her voice trembled.

"I didn't want this to happen!! I...I didn't know that bitch would hang herself..."

call……

The moment the word "bitch" was uttered, a gust of cold wind swirled up from the ground, spinning wildly around Xue's feet.

A chilling aura blew on the back of Xue's neck, sending a creepy sensation through her body like ants crawling all over her.
