Three times married to Yama

"What are you doing here?!" Pei Yu asked in a fearful voice when he saw me.

I smiled slightly at him, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Why can't I be here?"

Seeing Pei Yu's horrified expression, my mother glared at him disapprovingly. "Xiao Yu, how dare you talk to your sister like that? Missing your mother's slaps?"

Pei Yu quickly covered his face, his eyes full of resistance, but then he couldn't help but steal glances at me.

"Mom, I'm here to take you back. Something so big has happened at home, you need to go back and take charge," Pei Yu whispered in my mother's ear, looking at me with eyes that seemed to guard against a thief.

I have absolutely no interest in the Pei family's affairs, but judging from the way my mother looked when she received the call, something terrible must have happened to the Pei family.

If my mom needs my help, I will step in.

Thinking of this, I said to her, "Mom, if there's anything I can help you with, just let me know."

Before my mother could speak, Pei Yu said, "You call me 'Mom' quite smoothly, but you're just an outsider. You have no right to interfere in the Pei family's affairs."

I rolled my eyes at Pei Yu. What's wrong with him? Does he think I want to get involved?

I'm only doing this for my mother's sake; otherwise, I wouldn't care about the Pei family's situation at all.

Snapped!

My mother didn't say anything, but she slapped Pei Yu hard across the face, which shut him up completely.

"Ah Yin, don't pay any attention to this brat's words. What he says is nonsense. He has no right to speak for the Pei family. Something has indeed happened to the Pei family, and it's about that kind of thing..."

My mother paused here, then leaned closer and whispered to me, "You grew up with your father, so you should know what 'that kind of thing' means, right?"

I frowned slightly. "Is the Pei family's house haunted?"

"I'm not sure if it's haunted, but it's been quite bizarre. It started with the nanny/housekeeper the Pei family hired, and now..."

My mother paused here, but Pei Yu was very anxious. He grabbed my mother's arm and said urgently, "Mom, let's go back quickly. Dad's condition is really bad; it scares me!"

"Ah Yin, will you come with me?" My mother looked at me with hopeful eyes.

My mom might have already figured something out.

I nodded. "Okay, I'll go with you to take a look."

My mother's eyes were filled with excitement and love. She gently stroked my head and said, "I know, Ah Yin. Like father, like daughter."

I didn't reply. It seems my mom thinks quite highly of my dad. It's just a pity they weren't meant to be.

"Mom, you go back first, I'll come find you later," I said to her, since I still needed to go back to my room and talk to Yan Jinyue.

My mom was surprised, "Aren't you coming with us?"

I shook my head. "I still have friends here. I need to say goodbye to them. You guys go back first."

Seeing my firm stance, my mother had no choice but to leave with Pei Yu. It was clear that Pei Yu was still very dissatisfied with me; his eyes were full of vigilance as he left, as if I were going to do something to him.

When I returned to the room, Yan Jinyue was sitting on the sofa engrossed in scrolling through his phone. Hearing the door close, he didn't even look up, and asked me casually, "You're back. What do you want for supper? I just learned how to order takeout."

"You've made quite a bit of progress, Lord." I said with a hint of teasing in my voice. "But I'm not eating tonight; I have something to do and need to go out."

Hearing that I was going out, Yan Jinyue shifted his gaze from his phone to me and asked in a low voice, "Where are you going?"

"I'm going to visit a relative of mine. Something's happened in her family, and I'm going to check on them."

Yan Jinyue stood up and moved closer to me. "I'll go with you."

"No need." I immediately refused. If he knew that the mistress of the Pei family was my mother, wouldn't my identity be exposed? After all, Qin Zhi's parents are still in Yongfeng Village.

Seeing my refusal, Yan Jinyue frowned slightly. "I don't have anything to do tonight, so I can go with you. Besides, I need to observe the various aspects of human life, and as my wife, you should cooperate."

I opened my mouth, but for a moment I really didn't know how to refuse his reasonable request.

The young boy and girl mentioned before that I needed to cooperate with Yan Jinyue to enter the mortal world.

Seeing that I remained silent, he raised his chin, his tone turning colder, "You don't want to?"
