"Mommy, what's going on? Is someone plotting against us?" After hearing my words, Little Ink immediately looked at me with a serious and anxious expression, like a little adult.
I gently patted Little Ink's head, not wanting him to be anxious or scared with me. So I quickly reassured him, "It's nothing, maybe Mommy was just overthinking earlier."
Then I thought of Little Ink eating so many things with alkali in them. Eating too much alkali, I seem to have seen somewhere that alkali can be poisonous. I quickly reached into Little Ink's mouth to try to clear his throat and make him vomit, anxiously saying, " Little Ink, quickly spit out those things with alkali. Too much alkali can cause poisoning. Earlier, Mommy didn't think of it, didn't pay attention, but just now, a thought flashed through Mommy's mind, remembering having seen something about alkali poisoning. Severe alkali poisoning can be fatal sometimes."
Originally, Little Ink was a little resistant to prying my fingers apart, but when he heard what I said, he obediently stood there and let me do it. Then Little Ink started to vomit heavily. After I saw him vomit most of what he had eaten, I quickly gave him a cup of tea that I had tasted to make sure it didn't contain alkali for him to rinse his mouth.
After rinsing my mouth, I tidied up Little Ink's clothes and let Little Ink sit on the sofa to rest. Then I walked to the lady painting, carefully took it down, rolled it up, and planned to take it away. Otherwise, when Mrs. Shen finds some profound Taoist master to come back, this painting might be burned. Even if it's not burned, the oldest cousin in the painting might be scared to death. There's also a mysterious ancient tomb cluster in the painting that has a deadly allure, as if some answers can only be found in the ancient tomb cluster.
Little Ink saw me carefully holding the lady painting and asked puzzledly, "Mommy, why did you take away such a weird thing?"
"Of course it's useful. Didn't Mommy just say that there's your maternal uncle in there? If we leave this painting behind, how do you think Mrs. Shen will deal with your maternal uncle when she brings in the master?" I pulled Little Ink and asked as we walked outside, "I don't want to stay in this courtyard with Mrs. Shen. It's too damn creepy. Who knows what else might come up later."
"I understand. Mommy is protecting maternal uncle, otherwise maternal uncle would definitely be beaten to a pulp by the master that Mrs. Shen brings in," Little Ink excitedly said, tilting up her little face to me.
"I always knew Little Ink was the smartest..." Before I could finish praising Little Ink's intelligence, the lady painting that was in my hand suddenly disappeared. This startled me, and I immediately turned around to look for it. What's strange is that I actually found the lady painting in the original spot where the painting was hanging. This puzzled me greatly, so I hurriedly knocked on the lady painting and asked, "oldest cousin, oldest cousin, can you come out for a moment?"
As soon as I spoke, oldest cousin transformed into the lady and appeared again. After looking around, oldest cousin somewhat puzzled and impatiently said, "Yuan Yuan, what's wrong? Do you need my help? Wait, I don't see any danger nearby. Yuan Yuan, I forgot to tell you, the Gui Li left to me by that powerful person is running out. It won't last much longer, and it won't be enough to support me for long. Every time I come out, it consumes some of it. So, I will run out very soon, and then I won't be able to help you. Remember, if there's no life-threatening danger, don't call for me."
"Ah, so that's how it is. But since you've come out once, let's chat for a while. Otherwise, it would be a waste of Gui Li." I felt a bit regretful for wasting a chance to save my life, but then I thought, since I've already come out once, it would be even more regretful to let my oldest cousin go back without chatting.
"Alright, Yuan Yuan, what do you want to know? I'll tell you everything I know," my oldest cousin nodded helplessly, indicating that it was indeed the case that he couldn't come out for nothing.
After thinking for a moment, I brought Little Ink over to oldest cousin and said, "Oldest cousin, let me introduce you to my Little Ink. He's really amazing. He claims to have had memories from the moment he was born. He knows I'm his birth mother, and he's very sensible. He even pretends to be a good little brother in front of me, just to make me happy without letting on."
"Really? Little Ink is indeed quite remarkable. Much better than my eldest nephew. He's too weak, just a punching bag for my sister. Poor thing," said oldest cousin with a look of pity, as if feeling sorry for big cousin's son, Chubby. After all, no matter what, Chubby is oldest cousin's own nephew, and as the saying goes, a nephew is closest to his uncle.
However, it seems that oldest cousin is still unaware of Chubby's misfortune. But based on his intense hatred towards big cousin before, I am curious about the grudge between him and big cousin. Anyway, there's nothing urgent at the moment, and I doubt Mrs. Shen will be able to find master anytime soon. So, why don't we talk about this matter? But before we do, I forgot to ask something important. Why can't I take this painting with me? So, I quickly pointed to the painting of the lady on the wall and asked oldest cousin, "By the way, oldest cousin, why can't I take this painting out of this room?"
"You're talking about this lady painting? This painting, like me, has been enchanted by a powerful being from the underworld and can only be trapped in this room. It's okay, that being said that no one in the human realm can break his seal and destroy this painting, so I will be very safe," oldest cousin said confidently, looking like he really believed in that powerful being from the underworld.
"That's good to hear, oldest cousin. By the way, I've been wanting to ask you about your feud with big cousin. What exactly happened between you two?" I finally found the opportunity to ask the question that had been on my mind.
"Don't even mention it. Your big cousin is a selfish devil. She would do anything for money, even to the extent of causing my death and selling my body for a ghost marriage. Yuan Yuan, I want to make it clear that she didn't take the money to support my nephew, but for her own pleasure. If she had done it for my nephew, I wouldn't hate her so much." As oldest cousin spoke, he was visibly furious, his eyes turning blood red, confirming once again the saying, 'The most poisonous woman's heart'.
"What? She took your body for a ghost marriage and intentionally caused your death. You were her own brother, no wonder you hated her so much. If it were me, I would want to tear her apart." I said sympathetically. I really didn't expect that big cousin would be so heartless. For the sake of money, people really can do anything.
"It's all because my mom spoiled her. There's no way around it, Yuan Yuan, you don't know my mom. Your Eldest Aunt really favors girls over boys. At home, my dad and I are just hard labor, and my dad always listens to my mom. In fact, when I was killed in a car accident, as you know, even if my dad was also accidentally killed, my mom didn't blame Siyang at all. Instead, she tried to clean up after her and even went to the temple to pray for her safety, fearing that I would come back to retaliate against her. Sigh!" At this point, oldest cousin was in tears.
I didn't expect things to turn out like this. Could it be that oldest cousin is not Auntie's biological child? Could it be that my Auntie's husband had a previous wife, and oldest cousin is from that previous marriage? Otherwise, why would a tiger not eat its own cub? How could Auntie let big cousin harm oldest cousin and not let oldest cousin rest in peace, arranging a ghost marriage for her? So I hurriedly asked, "Is oldest cousin really the biological child of my Auntie? Could she have been adopted?"
"I've never heard my parents mention this, and I've also had my doubts. I even asked my dad quietly, and he swore that I am biological. It's just that my mom always favored girls, so she leaned more towards my sister. My dad even advised me to be considerate towards my sister because I'm the older brother. But to be honest, I don't have much affection for my mom. Her personality is just as sharp and mean as my sister's, even more ruthless and heartless. Maybe that's why she favored my sister. I, on the other hand, am introverted and honest. My mom has never liked my personality since I was little," oldest cousin said with a pained expression.
"I can't believe it. My mom has always been good to me. Auntie is my mom's real sister. How could my kind-hearted mom have such a cruel sister?" I shook my head in disbelief. I never thought Auntie could be such a cruel woman. No wonder my mom wanted to stay away from Auntie and moved to another city.
"Ah, it's all fate. What's even more infuriating is that Siyang wanted to use my body for a ghost marriage. But the fortune teller made a mistake with the birth date, and it turns out that the daughter of the wealthy family who died and I are not compatible at all. So, I died for nothing." At this point, oldest cousin paused, and her body started shaking violently. It seems she was really upset.
I don't know who this is, who wouldn't be angry and spit blood. After a pause, oldest cousin continued to speak with even more sympathy in his eyes, "This little b*tch Siyang didn't make any money, but she didn't give up. She actually froze my body, thinking of finding another buyer. She has a talisman on her body, and my dad is watching. I can't deal with her, but I can deal with those shamans. So she hasn't been able to sell me for these years, which is a bit comforting, but I hate it. So I've been asking the driver to kill her all the time. I didn't expect that she wasn't killed last time, but almost let that cat scatter my soul. Fortunately, there's Yuan Yuan to save me."
"It's nothing. oldest cousin, you've helped me too. By the way, oldest cousin, how did you encounter that expert from the ghost realm?" I asked with great curiosity.
"It's like this, ever since you saved me last time, I've been scared out of my wits and dare not think about seeking revenge or anything. I just wanted to find a quiet place to hide. But unexpectedly, I was forcibly conscripted into the ghost realm just because I was young. After that, my life became incredibly terrifying. I was forced to fight every day. It turns out that the ghost realm is fighting for territory, and we new conscripted soldiers are just cannon fodder. Several times I was nearly beaten to death, and the last time I was knocked flying and landed in a crack. When I woke up, I saw that masked strongman." oldest cousin carefully recalled and replied.
