Madam Jade

Chapter 287 Bai Xian Town Thirty-Nine

Mei Nan did not speak, signaling Song Zhi to continue.

They couldn't have gone to the mountain god temple for no reason. What were these young people thinking?

Song Zhi, under pressure, finally told the truth: "Everyone feels that if we just stay here doing nothing, we won't wait for the bus. We suspect there might be a hidden task we haven't completed, so we went to the mountain god temple hoping to find new clues."

"It's good to have ideas, why hide it?" This was the point Mei Nan couldn't understand.

Song Zhi fell silent and nudged Zhu Yulian with his elbow.

Zhu Yulian cleared her throat twice: "It's because Li Ye and Ning Wei went there last night, and they came back with strange expressions. Moreover, Li Ye implied that we can't afford to provoke the mountain god, so we shouldn't act rashly."

Yuan Yuan added an explanation: "Everyone was just trying to help. Staying here long-term isn't a solution."

Wang Jing also stepped forward to say: "But you can rest assured, we just walked around the mountain god temple. We didn't do anything, didn't say anything, and definitely wouldn't cause trouble!"

After listening, Mei Nan also felt it wasn't a big deal. After all, it was for everyone's benefit. It was just that Ning Wei and the others had gone earlier, and they had warned everyone not to go, which led to the concealment.

In the end, as long as things were clarified, there were no ulterior motives, and everyone just wanted to leave here smoothly.

However, Li Ye was sitting there, his expressionless face revealing nothing of his emotions.

Mei Nan had to mediate, the main goal being to prevent everyone from having divided loyalties.

"From now on, if you have anything, just say it directly. I believe Ning Wei and the others will understand. If you act sneakily like this, don't blame others for thinking otherwise, it's only natural!"

"Understood, Teacher Mei, we were wrong." Song Zhi and the others apologized in unison.

Mei Nan stole a glance at Li Ye. He had somehow produced a book and was engrossed in reading it, as if he hadn't heard a word of their conversation.

Meanwhile, Ning Wei had successfully arrived at the Yu family's house with her basket.

Since Aunt Meng had already spoken to Fang Fang in advance about arranging their meals, Fang Fang had not locked the door.

Her body was weak, so she preferred to lie down rather than sit, and sit rather than stand. Therefore, if she could save herself a few steps, she would never pretend to be diligent.

At this moment, Fang Fang was lying on a rocking chair, covered with a blanket, her eyes closed, and it was unclear if she was asleep.

Ning Wei tiptoed in and slowly approached her.

Fang Fang suddenly opened her eyes, her dilated pupils indicating how fast her heart was beating.

But Ning Wei didn't think she had startled her. Instead, she reminded her: "It's better not to close your eyes when the door is open. A fast heartbeat leads to a quick death."

Fang Fang shakily got up. Seeing the basket in Ning Wei's hand, she immediately understood that she had come to deliver food.

As she thanked her, she reached out to take it.

Ning Wei did not hand it to her. Instead, she held the basket in one hand and supported Fang Fang with the other: "Let's go inside to eat and chat."

Fang Fang showed a moment of resistance on her face, but she couldn't resist Ning Wei's strength and was forced to follow her into the house.

The room was lit by incandescent bulbs, indicating sufficient light, making Yu Jiansheng look as if he were dead.

Ning Wei placed the food on the table and then said gently to Fang Fang: "You eat first, and then feed him after you're full."

Ning Wei had thought a lot about what happened at the Yu family's house today. Based on her experience, she was completely certain that Fang Fang was an innocent party in this matter.

However, there were some details that Ning Wei couldn't quite figure out, so she decided to come and ask for clarification.

Behind every strange event, there was a story. This was experience, so it needed to be understood clearly.

Although Yu Jiansheng had absorbed a lot of vital energy during the day, his body had not yet recovered. Therefore, it seemed a bit difficult to expect him to recount the cause and course of events.

Fortunately, there was a third option in the house.

Ning Wei looked at Yu Baohua, who was nailed to the corner and looked like a starving ghost, with a look of disgust.

He was the starting point of the tragic memories of the Yu couple today. He had possessed Yu Jiansheng's body, which led to Fang Fang's stomach being filled with many small black snakes.

"I need to talk to your uncle in a moment. Do you want to listen here, or go outside?" Ning Wei always had endless patience for weaker women.

Fang Fang's mental state had returned to normal, and she had also thought a lot. Therefore, without hesitation, she firmly told Ning Wei: "I'll stay here. I'm also a victim, and I want to know the truth."

Ning Wei nodded, turned around, and began to interrogate Yu Baohua.

Yu Baohua currently showed no intention of cooperating, but Ning Wei had plenty of ways to make him speak.

A peach tree was planted in the Yu family's yard. Ning Wei had casually pulled off a branch when she entered. It was just the right thickness to be used as a whip, most suitable for whipping evil spirits like Yu Baohua who lingered after death.

After a few lashes, although Fang Fang only saw Ning Wei waving her hands in the air, she seemed to hear sounds of begging and screaming as Ning Wei struck with such force.

"Master Ning Wei, would it be possible for me to see clearly?" Fang Fang suddenly made this bold request.

Ning Wei was not entirely in favor of this. She looked at Fang Fang and then at the deceased Yu Baohua, and warned: "His appearance is quite unpleasant, a hundred times uglier than Yu Jiansheng now. Are you sure you can handle it?"

Fang Fang nodded firmly.

Yu Baohua had lusted after her when he was alive, and her current predicament must be related to him!

But she wanted to understand his relationship with Yu Jiansheng.

She wasn't afraid when he was alive, so why should she be afraid now that he was dead?

She just wanted to understand the reason for her suffering.

Ning Wei smeared some of her blood on a peach leaf and then lightly brushed it across Fang Fang's eyelids. Fang Fang's eyes then temporarily became like hers.

In Fang Fang's eyes, a gaunt man covered in dark energy suddenly appeared in the corner. Although his face was horribly contorted, she recognized him at once as Yu Jiansheng's uncle, Yu Baohua.

She was shocked, but Fang Fang remained relatively calm.

Yu Baohua was also audacious. Knowing that Fang Fang could see him, he immediately became brazen and spoke incoherently, earning him several more lashes from Ning Wei's peach branch.

Fang Fang watched with enjoyment, then went out and picked a branch herself, and they took turns whipping him.

Yu Baohua couldn't bear the whipping and finally confessed everything.

After he finished speaking, all the color had drained from Fang Fang's face, her eyes filled with hatred as she stared fiercely at Yu Jiansheng, who was lying on the bed with one foot already in the grave.
