"I feel it's a bit too sensitive." Shen Xiaoran shook his head and sighed.

"After all, for scholars, face is very important."

Chen Yuan nodded in agreement and continued, "But there was nothing we could do. Women were subordinates at that time, let alone daughters. Her efforts were useless, and on the contrary, they angered her father. Her father called the scholar, gave him money, and asked him to leave his daughter. The scholar was very stubborn and refused to obey, saying that he would definitely pass the imperial examination and asked him to fulfill the three-year agreement."

"That's not too bad."

"She still has some pride." Chen Yuan continued, "The father laughed and said there was no three-year agreement. Moreover, he drove the girl's wet nurse, the scholar's mother, out of the house. At that time, although the status of servants was not high, people like wet nurses who served their masters almost all their lives actually had a very close relationship. But her father still drove her out harshly." "This father is a bit too much... but it's hard to judge."

"Then, the girl was betrothed to the scholar. But there was an outbreak of influenza at that time, and the scholar died before they could get married. Although the girl became a widow, she was very happy because her body had never been touched by anyone. So, she continued to contact the scholar secretly and supported him as much as possible. Finally, in the third year, the scholar passed the imperial examination and became a juren."

"The first thing I do when I get ashore is to kill the person I love!"

"Correct."

Chen Yuan nodded and said, "After the scholar passed the imperial examination, he became extremely successful. The county magistrate, the gentry, and the wealthy all gave him money and gifts. The girl's father also came to his senses and went to flatter the scholar. But the scholar immediately refused and kicked her father out."

"What about the girl? There's no explanation there?"

"Yes, the scholar returned all the money he had spent on her to the girl, and that's how we are even."

"Damn it, you're feeding the young master a cake, right?!"

"You know, the joke is a bit too broad..."

Chen Yuan's mouth twitched subtly, and he went back to the story, saying, "Of course the girl didn't want this. She thought the man would marry her for the sake of affection, after all, she was still innocent. However, the scholar felt that he was a juren, so how could he marry a widow? In addition, he had a good image, so he married the daughter of a prefect."

"Bah, scumbag."

Shen Xiaoran felt that it was reasonable for the scholar to hate her father. After all, it was true that "Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west", but the girl was right.

Besides, you're holding her money!

"Originally, this matter would have passed. However, our place is close to the sea, and Japanese pirates started to cause trouble. Many local people became unlucky. The girl's father had done business with the Japanese before, so he was also considered an anti-Ming element. In fact, this matter could have been resolved by finding a connection. But at this time, the scholar who had been appointed as the county magistrate insisted that her family was in contact with the Japanese, and sent people to raid the girl's family and confiscate their property."

"Bitch!" Shen Xiaoran was so angry. He didn't understand why there could be such a man.

"The girl's father died of illness in prison. Her family was also separated. So..."

As Chen Yuan was talking, he looked up at the ginkgo tree and said, "She was wearing a red wedding dress, with a copper hairpin on her hair, and she hanged herself on this tree."

"???"

Shen Xiaoran was stunned when she heard this. She looked up at the tree and said in astonishment, "No, are you serious?"

"No, it was just a joke." Chen Yuan smiled and said, "I just had a dream. In the dream, the heroine hanged herself. So, I wanted to find a ginkgo tree to return this ominous object."

This is why Chen Yuan is unwilling to earn this small amount of money.

Because the girl in the story was a bit pitiful, he felt sorry for her.

He thought of Xia Xinyu, she was also so pitiful and so loyal.

But the difference is that Xia Xinyu met Chen Yuan.

And what she encountered was the birth of 'You can't stop me from running towards a better person'.

The reason why she still kept the hairpin was probably not because she still liked that birth.

Simply because the happiest memory in her life was the moment she received this broken hairpin.

And when you are young:

At the banquet of the general manager, he talked and laughed, and made vows without thinking about the opposite.

"Is this really your dream?"

If it was someone else, Shen Xiaoran would be willing to believe it was a dream. But this was Chen Yuan, he was an omnipotent god.

Isn't it very normal and natural for God to see ghosts?

"Really? Don't be afraid."

"No, how can I not be afraid?"

"Then I'll treat you to a barbecue meal later."

"Then I'm not afraid."

Shen Xiaoran is proficient in Sichuan Opera face changing and immediately smiled.

"Then wait a moment."

Chen Yuan squatted down, picked up a sharp stone, and dug a hole under the tree.

There is a secret beneath Miss Sakurako's feet.

And underneath, buried are corpses.

So Chen Yuan didn't dare to dig too deep, and after about five centimeters, he put the hairpin in.

Then, fill it with soil to complete the project.

Now, I feel a little more balanced.

I can’t touch antiques anymore.

After all, this thing is most likely related to dead people!

"Why, I saw a red figure behind you..."

Suddenly, Shen Xiaoran said in surprise with a frozen expression.

"?!" Chen Yuan turned around in fright and found that there was no one behind him.

Could it be that children and dogs can see things that others cannot see?

Just when he was trembling with fear, Shen Xiaoran suddenly let out a "puff" sound and couldn't hold it back.

Chen Yuan's face suddenly sank: "Xiao Ran farted, right?"

"No, I laughed so hard! Pretty girls don't fart!"

"Wasn't it playing quite loudly just now?"

“That’s laughing… laughing!”

Chen Yuan pushed Shen Xiaoran and left while arguing with her.

Behind him, an almost transparent girl in red was looking at his back with sadness, almost in tears.

But people like her can't cry.

Chapter 236 Eating shrimp with Xiao Shen and the ghost following

Less than a day after An Ruxue hanged herself on the tree, the villagers stripped her clothes, robbed her hairpin, and buried her under the ginkgo tree.

She thought that after death she would go to the underworld or some kind of paradise, but to her great surprise, she found that she could not escape from here.

She still exists.

Even though the soul can wander, it will return to this tree at midnight.

And so, more than four hundred years have passed, and until now, she is still here.

Just like what people say, an earthbound spirit.

Time can dilute many things, including hatred.

She no longer cared about the unfaithful man Ruan Lang. She just wanted his soul to be torn apart or to enter reincarnation as soon as possible.

But unfortunately, her soul was bound under this ginkgo tree and could not go anywhere.

But she could see and hear.

Hundreds of years have passed, and the world has changed dramatically. The former village is long gone, but this ginkgo tree is still growing here, standing for a thousand years.

She just looked at the passers-by with boredom.

Sometimes, I would encounter some souls. People in this era called them "ghosts", but their souls usually returned to the underworld and reincarnated on the seventh sunset. Only I was locked up here for no reason.

She thought that if the tree was cut down, her soul would be able to be liberated smoothly.

But for some reason, the tree grew stronger and stronger and was even protected.

Just like that, for hundreds of years she lived alone... no, like a ghost.

Until today, a boy found me with the hairpin and told the story to his lame sister...

Although there are many discrepancies, there are many differences in the details. For example, her house was raided because her father did business with the Japanese.

But in fact, it was not the "scholar" who brought people to confiscate the house.

Of course, it also has something to do with him.

The scholar was an official at that time. An Ruxue wrote to him for help, hoping that he would speak well of him to the local official. However, her Ruan Lang not only did not remember their past relationship, he even asked his mother, who had been a wet nurse in his family, to testify that there was indeed collusion with the Japanese, and she had seen it with her own eyes.

As a result, her house was raided.

After her house was ransacked, An Ruxue became completely desperate and hanged herself to death.

She wondered if she would have had a good ending with her beloved brother Ruan Lang, if it weren't for her father.

After all, no matter how you look at it, this tragedy was caused by my father's materialism.

But hundreds of years later, after experiencing a lot, she has figured out the problem.

Whether a person is bad or not is never determined by what reason he changes.

You are who you are in essence.

Looking back, he has never done anything out of love for me.

Every time his father confronted him, he was forced to do so and only swore and made a resolution out of necessity.

Moreover, after she became a widow, every time he saw her, although he said nice things to her, deep down, he actually disliked her.

With his self-esteem, he has always been ashamed of the fact that his mother had been the wet nurse of the An family, so when he mentioned it, he was so excited, as if he had gone crazy.

So, she had already let it go.

My own love is cheap.

The person you love is also very mean.
