Three times married to Yama

My mom is indeed a very smart person; she guessed what I was thinking.

"Ah Yin, do you not really want to help the Pei family?" she asked me cautiously.

I won't hide anything. "Old Master Pei has a lot of opinions about me, and I think he must know about the Yin Cai Gui. His silence means he's tacitly accepting the backlash it brings."

"There are two types of Yin wealth ghosts. The methods of formation are different, and the methods of resolution are also different. The backlashes they suffer are also very different. To put it bluntly, if the Pei family uses living people to achieve the Yin wealth ghost technique, then the backlash suffered by the Pei family will be at least the loss of their family wealth, and at worst, the destruction of the family and the death of its members."

"Mom, you have no blood relation with the Pei family. As long as you get divorced, the Pei family's backlash will not affect you."

My mother was still in a daze, and it took her a while to process what I had said. She asked me softly, "What about Xiaoyu and Jiayin?"

"Pei Yu may die. As for Pei Jiayin, she may be affected to some extent, but since they are not related by blood, the impact should be less."

Looking at my mother's worried expression, I knew she wouldn't get a divorce. Perhaps it was for Pei Tiankuo's sake, or perhaps it was for Pei Yu's.

She remained silent for a while, then suddenly looked up at me and asked, "Ah Yin, if I can get the old man to talk about the Yin Wealth Ghost, can you help the Pei family?"

Looking at her, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart. She was the mother who gave me my body and hair. If she refused to leave the Pei family, could I just stand by and watch her die?

"Try your best," I replied.

Seeing my calm and indifferent expression, my mother suddenly gripped my hand tightly. "A-Yin, you and Xiao-Yu are both my children. If I leave the Pei family to save my own life, how can I be worthy of being a mother?"

"Don't worry, leave Old Man Pei's affairs to me. I guarantee he'll treat you with utmost respect the next time you visit the Pei family."

"Are you willing to believe your mother and give me another chance?" She looked at me, tears welling up in her eyes.

Since she said that, I naturally had to give her face.

"Mm." I nodded gently.

Seeing that I agreed, my mother burst into tears of joy. She quickly said, "Thank you, Ah Yin. I'll go find Grandpa Pei right now."

With that, she rolled up her sleeves and hurried away.

After my mother left, the virgin revealed her true form, and she looked at my mother's figure thoughtfully.

"Madam, is that noblewoman your mother?" Her tone was curious, but to me it sounded like a demonic whisper.

I:!!!

I was so engrossed in my conversation with my mom that I almost forgot there was a virgin there!

Before I could answer, I heard the girl say to herself in confusion, "I remember that the lady's mother was from Yongfeng Village, a peasant woman, which doesn't match the noblewoman from before."

I:……

In situations like this, I mustn't panic, so I calmly replied, "She's not my mother."

"But she claims to be the lady's mother," the girl said, still puzzled.

I, "of the table".

The girl was shocked and confused. "Does Mother still have a watch?"

I lied without batting an eye right now, "Yes, she's my godmother, but I've called her cousin since I was little, it's just a habit."

The little girl reached out her small hand and scratched her head, as if she was thinking about what I had said.

To prevent the girl from thinking too deeply, I quickly took out my phone and invited her to play a game with me. Once she started playing, she would soon forget about this.

Before we'd even finished two games, Pei Yu actually came looking for me.

To be honest, I was quite surprised to see Pei Yu, since he didn't treat me very well.

Of course, my attitude toward others depends on their attitude toward me.

I stood blocking the doorway, looking at the boy in front of me with a detached gaze. "What is it?"

"I need to talk to you," he said directly.

I raised an eyebrow. "What is it?"

He pointed to my room. "May I come in and talk?"

I glanced at Pei Yu, then turned and walked into the room. Pei Yu carefully followed me in and immediately saw the girl sitting cross-legged on the sofa.

The virgin was now in a visible state, and anyone could see her. Pei Yu was surprised, "You, how come there's a little girl here?"

"What's wrong? You have a problem with that?"

Pei Yu quickly shook his head. His attitude towards me was somewhat complicated, a mixture of fear, dissatisfaction, and a desire for help.

I pointed to the sofa. "Have a seat."

Pei Yu sat down, no longer as arrogant and annoying as before. Now he sat properly, even a little restrained.

I continued to look at him calmly, waiting for him to speak. Perhaps sensing my gaze, he suddenly raised his hand and asked urgently, "You...you really can help the Pei family?"

I didn't give Pei Yu a definite answer, just said, "Maybe."

At this moment, the little girl jumped down from the sofa next to me. She curiously circled around Pei Yu and then said to me, "Madam, this little brother is about to die."

Upon hearing this, I narrowed my eyes. Judging from Pei Yu's recent fortunes, he has indeed been having a very bad time lately, which is a sign of misfortune.

"How do you know he's going to die?" I asked.

Upon hearing the girl's words, Pei Yu's face instantly turned deathly pale.

The young girl sat down next to Pei Yu, seemingly sniffing the deathly aura emanating from him.

The words spoken in the innocent voice of the young girl were chilling.

"Whoever uses the money brought by the Yin Wealth Ghost will be unlucky. Those who use it a lot, especially if they are close blood relatives, will naturally die."

That's true. For the first hundred years of normal worship of the Yin Wealth Ghost, there's nothing wrong with using this money. But when the hundred-year period ends or if the worship isn't done as agreed, it will indeed happen as the maiden said.

It seems Pei Yu is still a spendthrift.

Before I could say anything, Pei Yu burst into tears. He didn't care about his previous attitude towards me anymore. He knelt down at my feet and grabbed my leg.

"Sister, sister, I really don't want to die! Please save me! I promise I'll listen to you from now on, I'll never disobey you again, you'll always be my dear sister!"

Indeed, when faced with life and death, dignity is a trivial matter.

It is indeed easy for a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child to break down when faced with such a situation.

I looked down at Pei Yu, who was crying like a sad frog. "Alright, stop crying and get to the point. What did you come to see me about?"

Pei Yu, "Waaaaah, I'm scared..."

My patience is running out. "If you don't tell me, I'll beat you up!"

Pei Yu then wiped away his tears and sobbed, "I... I overheard Grandpa talking to a stranger and learned some things that I wanted to tell you to see if they're related to the ghost of wealth you mentioned."

I glanced at Pei Yu with some surprise. This guy finally showed some intelligence and took the initiative to come and talk to me about this.

I picked him up and put him on the sofa next to me, then asked Tong Nu to pour a cup of hot water so that Pei Yu could calm down.

After drinking the water the maiden brought him, Pei Yu shivered from the cold. "Ah, it's so cold..."

I,"?"

"I'm sorry, madam, the water that has passed through my hands is very cold..." the maid said apologetically.

Looking at Pei Yu, who had regained consciousness from the cold, I said to the maid, "It's alright, thanks to you, he's become more sober."

As I spoke, I looked at Pei Yu and said, "Tell me, what did you hear?"

Pei Yu immediately became serious and said, "I heard that stranger tell Grandpa that the time for his death has come and a new candidate needs to be found."
