Three times married to Yama

"I'm glad you're satisfied," he replied.

I couldn't help but frown slightly. The more Yan Jinyue spoke, the stranger it became, and the more ambiguous it sounded.

I stopped responding to his words and focused on the path I was walking down the mountain.

By the time we got down the mountain, it was already bright outside. Yan Jinyue and I went straight to the Pei family's house.

When my mother saw me return, she finally felt relieved, and the worry on her face disappeared.

"I'm so glad you're back. I was so worried about you." My mom held my hand tightly for a long time.

"I'm fine, don't worry, Mrs. Pei."

When she heard me call her Madam Pei, a faint look of disappointment appeared in her eyes, but when she saw Yan Jinyue beside me, surprise overshadowed her disappointment.

"Mr. Yan, what a coincidence that you're with Ah Yin. I don't remember seeing you when I left Yuandu Temple," my mother said to Yan Jinyue, her voice tinged with doubt.

Faced with my mother's questioning, Yan Jinyue smiled slightly, "Unfortunately, I went to see A Yin on a special trip."

Upon hearing Yan Jinyue's answer, my mother gave a soft "oh," but her eyes darted back and forth between me and Yan Jinyue before finally revealing a meaningful smile.

I know my mom has misunderstood again.

I quickly said to my mother, "Madam Pei, I have something to say to you privately. May I speak to you in private?"

"Of course, but Mr. Yan..." My mother was still staring at Yan Jinyue.

I then said to Yan Jinyue, "Yan Jinyue, go to the living room and wait for me. I'll come find you later."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." He nodded and replied calmly.

Seeing Yan Jinyue walk towards the living room, I then went with my mother to the garden where the Yin Cai Gui stone statue had been dug out earlier.

The people who had previously fallen into a deep sleep have been properly taken care of. I will soon undo the spell I cast on them, and they will wake up on their own.

As for those who have truly fallen into a deep sleep because of the Yin Wealth Ghost, they will awaken once they let go of the Yin Wealth Ghost's obsession.

At that moment, only my mother and I were in the garden. She asked me with a worried expression, "Ah Yin, how's the matter with the ghost of wealth? Can our Pei family still be saved?"

I nodded and released the ghost of wealth, Pan Yi.

I said, "The Pei family is fortunate that the Yin Cai Gui's true obsession is money and her daughter, not revenge. Otherwise, given her resentment, the Pei family might have been wiped out."

"But the Pei family still has to donate all their assets to completely settle her resentment. If the Pei family is truly as talented as Old Master Pei said, even without the money brought by the Yin Cai Gui, I think they can still be more than wealthy even if they can't make a comeback."

After listening to my words, my mother pondered for a while before slowly nodding and affirming, "Yes, I will listen to Ah Yin. I will donate all of the Pei family's assets to charity on behalf of the Pei family."

"However, I'm afraid Old Master Pei won't agree."

My mother smiled faintly, her eyes full of confidence, "He has no choice but to agree. I am the one who actually holds power in the Pei family now."

As she spoke, she looked at me gently again, "But don't worry, Ah Yin, Mom won't become penniless. Mom's Pei family is different from this Pei family. Your grandfather is very rich. If he knew you were still alive, he would definitely be very happy."

I was shocked to hear what my mother said. At first, I thought my mother had married into a wealthy family, but I never expected that my mother herself was the wealthy family. No wonder she was so assertive in the Pei family.

However, there's a question I've wanted to ask for a long time.

"Mom, I have a question for you, I hope you don't mind," I said.

"Mom definitely won't mind. You can ask whatever you want." She looked at me with those expectant eyes, which made me feel a little embarrassed.

After hesitating for two seconds, I asked, "So... how exactly did you fall for my dad in the first place? And why did you live with him in Changyue Village?"

When this question was brought up, my mother seemed dazed for a while.

"Although I don't know what he looks like now, he was really handsome when he was young. I have a lot of money, but I've almost never seen anyone as good-looking as your dad, so... Ah Yin, you understand, right?"

As she spoke, she looked toward the living room, then lowered her voice and continued, "I think this Mr. Yan is quite good, almost on par with your father back then. Ah Yin, trust me, don't let your eyes be disappointed."

Me: "...It may be a bit impolite, but I think your husband is nowhere near as good-looking as my dad."

"You're right," my mom nodded in agreement.

"Master..." a faint female voice sounded beside us, "I'm still here..."

My mom and I turned our heads at the same time and saw Pan Yi pulling her hair away from her face, revealing a face covered in blood as she looked at me.

My mom was startled and moved closer to me.

"I know you're still here, but aren't you going to tidy yourself up? You don't want to scare Yiyi later, do you?" I said, pointing at her face with some disdain.

Pan Yi was stunned for a moment, then her face lit up with joy. "Master, you...you've found my daughter?"
