To know a word is to works

She is special

    

ased after a dark figure and went up there. I heard your scream and came back down." Jiang Qiyun pulled me along quickly."...I didn't mean to scream, I was just startled by how suddenly aggressive the...After a flurry of activity, I stood before the deserted secret passage and sighed.

We are too restrained, while the other party is completely unrestrained. We're at a disadvantage.

"Miss Mu," Officer Lu patted my shoulder, a smile tugging at the corners of his determined face. He discreetly pointed to his coat pocket: "Don't lose heart, I managed to snap a picture of her face..."

What

This—as expected of an experienced detective captain!

Just as I was about to laugh and compliment him, he shook his head at me.

"...I'll check through connections discreetly, and I'll notify you when I have news. Keep it confidential!"

"Okay." I nodded.

Only after we know this woman's background can we handle the situation properly.

I used to think that exorcism was just exorcism, and binding evil spirits was just binding evil spirits. Now I realize it's not as simple as that.

I'm still a human, I have a father, brother, and children. My home is full of people of all ages, including two pets.

If I were to indiscriminately collect souls and subdue evil spirits, the ghosts would be cleared away, but there would be a field of corpses left behind. How could I explain that

According to the laws of the world, I cannot escape responsibility. Either "an eye for an eye" or a life behind bars.

This is probably what Lin Yanhuan has always emphasized: "I believe, but I can only handle things according to the laws and common sense of the world!"

I sort of understand his point of view.

Shen Qingrui checked each room in the basement, reinserted the peach wood hairpin into her bun, and raised an eyebrow: “Several dismembered corpses, with their internal organs missing. They were probably trying to make human skin scarecrows, but you interrupted them.”

"What else have you discovered" I asked.

She was taken aback for a moment, suddenly realizing that she seemed to be reporting to me. Immediately, she growled angrily, "Can't you just look at it yourself!"

I raised an eyebrow and looked at her: "Shen Qingrui, you are still the nominal heir of the Shen family. Do well, and there will be a place for you in the future."

"You—!"

"Stop dreaming about returning to the underworld as a maidservant after death. Now that you are human, if you die, you will have to go through the Wanguo Terrace and the Reincarnation Well... The Yinjing Heavenly Palace has nothing to do with you anymore. You should cherish your status as the heir of the Shen family and not end up with nothing." I kindly reminded her.

She gritted her teeth and growled, “What right do you have to decide my future The Emperor— ”

"Him" I rubbed my temples. Hearing another woman refer to Jiang Qiyun as "he" made me inexplicably irritated. I was truly becoming more and more obsessed.

"He is my husband from the underworld, my companion, and the father of my children. I have devoted myself to Qinghua with all my heart, he is my husband, and the empress of the Underworld. If you dare to consider yourself his subordinate, then I am still your mistress! Recognize your place and stop harboring foolish fantasies. Do you think I will allow you to appear in Yinjingt Palace again"

"You, you..." she gritted her teeth in anger.

I smiled. "What do you think Am I being cruel, or petty Don't tread on my kindness. To let you continue wearing the title of heir, I've already been incredibly generous. Otherwise... I could make you suffer a physical death and experience the horrors of hell firsthand."

She pursed her lips. She had been to the underworld, surely she knew what the Ghost Path was like. Even after reincarnation, a soul ravaged by the shackles would be flawed.

She wants me to lose my child and remain in the underworld, unable to conceive. She wants me to be unremarkable, hoping Jiang Qiyun will eventually get tired of me,... I'm sure she thought about it this way.

"Had I not gone through hardship, I would never have known his depth of affection. You've been fanning the flames... From now on, restrain your impulses and fulfill the duties expected of an heir. Then perhaps there's a chance for you to inherit the head of the family. Live a good life, don't be like that ghost princess who trampled upon the divine compassion and ruined her own opportunities."

Shen Qingrui stared at me, her eyes complex: "You... really think so"

I nodded. "I have no intention of harming you, but don't even think about my husband, children, and family, or else—"

Otherwise...

I smiled at her: "Even immortals can fall to demonic possession, let alone mortals... For important people, even heavy karma is worth it."

"If you understand, just obediently do your duty."

Officer Lu probably anticipated immense pressure, so he prepared in advance. Before the team left, he secretly sent me a picture of the short-haired woman he had filmed privately to my brother's phone.

My brother stared at the few seconds of close-up footage on his phone, flipping back and forth, until he looked like he was going to be sick.

"Who is this woman with short hair...Whose daughter is she to be so arrogant, did her parents die Didn't she notice anything unusual about her daughter How could she not care" He slumped on the sofa, looking soft and weak.

Lin Yanqin was finally able to go out today. As soon as she entered the door, she saw my brother's lazy appearance and hurriedly asked, "Yunfan, are you not feeling well"

My brother rolled over, grinned at her, and wiggled his fingers. "Yeah, I haven't had a good 'practice session' in ages. I'm feeling off! Qinyin, you're just in time. Come help me 'maintain my weapon'."

Lin Yanqin's face flushed instantly. My brother physically explained to her what was meant by "guns on men." She was so embarrassed when she heard this.

I speechlessy rubbed my forehead and said, “ ... Are you suffering because your ammunition depot is overcrowded Would you like me to make some space for you Just pull down the shop door…”

"Xiao Qiao, don't joke around!" Lin Yanqin covered my mouth.

Ugh, to be honest, bullying Lin Yanqin is actually quite amusing.

To see her, a usually composed and well-mannered young lady, blushing and at a loss for words when teased, inexplicably brought me a sense of exhilaration. No wonder my brother enjoys this so much.

Is this considered class envy

Lin Yanqin sat beside me, her gaze flicked to the phone in my hand.

"Wow, you're still watching horror movies on your phone!" She reached out to take a look, but realized the video was only a few seconds long.

Lin Yanqin frowned and said, "What kind of ghost movie is this so short Selected shots"

"Why would we watch ghost movies We live in a ghost movie every day...This is the person we're looking for." My brother answered lazily.

Lin Yanqin let out an "oh" and stared intently at the screen. Suddenly, she put down her phone in a daze: "This is the person you're looking for... what do you want to do with her!"

My brother was stunned, then jumped up with a start: “You know her!”

"I...of course I know her...she is..." Lin Yanqin looked at me, hesitating to speak.

"Come on, grandpa! Hurry up and tell us!" My brother urged impatiently.

"She's...my brother's friend...she's always been very attentive to my brother, often flying over from the imperial capital, and even wanted to live in our house. My brother refused, so she bought a villa here herself. It seems like she's trying to pressure him into marriage." Lin Yanqin said.

"Ah!" I jumped up.

——I do have a connection with her indeed!!

Before I went to look for Lin Yanhuan, she laughed and said, "You're just in time," then came downstairs and led me into a special elevator!

At that time, a woman with sharp eyebrows and eyes was staring right at me!

Lin Yanhuan let me take the fall for her, and then explained that this woman flew over from the imperial capital to force a marriage.

It was her!!"If it were just these crazy fangirls being obsessed, they'd quiet down soon enough," he said. "But just now Yanqin told me she saw Changning's body dug up And it was even on the news That's a bit sus...
