Why are you trying to steal her destiny? She's the little ancestor of the Xuanmen sect!

Chapter 17 is here! Something even scarier than ghosts!

Ye Wanqing was consumed by anger and didn't care about Xiao Jiujiu's newly elevated status:

“Nianling is not even eighteen yet, she’s still a child. How can you slander her like that?”

She wasn't really defending Ye Nianling.

But in front of so many people.

As Ye Nianling is her nominal daughter, she has to stand on her side and protect her.

With her head lowered, Ye Nianling cautiously raised her eyes and glanced at him.

Just then, she saw Ye Wanqing glaring at her.

She outwardly maintained the facade, but inwardly she was blaming Ye Nianling for being completely useless.

Facing the aggressive Ye Wanqing, Xiao Jiu Jiu was not afraid: "I did not slander her."

Her eyes had turned pitch black at some point, and she stared intently at Ye Nianling: "You did something wrong, no one is slandering you."

Otherwise, roll up your sleeves and confront everyone face to face.

"Stop talking so much nonsense!" Ye Yunli walked over and pressed down on Ye Nianling.

The person next to her rolled up her sleeve.

Sure enough, there was a dark mark on her arm.

"This is the Ghost Mark."

Xiao Jiu Jiu pointed to the dark mark.

Everyone saw it and looked at Ye Nianling in horror.

"Nianling, what you're doing..."

"It's just a birthmark!"

Seeing that everyone was scared, Ye Nianling quickly explained.

Ye Wanqing glanced at Ye Nianling in surprise, whose eyes were brimming with tears.

So, she forced herself to reply, "Yes, I've had this since I was little, it's a birthmark!"

"Woooooooo..."

Ye Nianling covered her face and cried, "Sister Jiu Jiu, I didn't do those things at all."

I have no grudge against you, do I?

Little Nine-Nine: ?

Why are you doing this to me? I've really been wronged!

As she spoke, she burst into tears.

Some of the onlookers began to feel sorry for him.

"This new kid has ruined our harmonious family atmosphere as soon as he arrived!"

"Yeah, I don't know why Ah Chen let her in."

"The old man was also completely infatuated."

Xiao Jiujiu glanced at the ghost in her hand.

The ghost screamed: "She's lying! It's her!"

Ye Nianling, with her head down, smiled slightly.

She wanted to see how this would end!

Anyway, they have no evidence!

Seeing this, Ye Chen stepped forward.

"and many more."

He was about to help Xiao Jiu Jiu when she called out to him, "Go away."

Xiao Jiu Jiu clenched the ghost ball in her hand tightly and snorted, "The reason this ghost made a deal with you is because you didn't want Grandma Xiao to..."

"We'll marry you off to your family."

Upon hearing this, Ye Nianling's face almost crumbled.

Xiao Jiujiu continued, "You told him that you didn't like the marriage and that you wanted to make a deal with him and pay him tribute!"

The ghost in the long robe was a wandering spirit.

If no one makes offerings, they will go hungry.

He would occasionally sneak into the temple to steal some incense oil to fill his stomach.

They can eat their fill and have shelter.

Therefore, the yin energy inside a temple is actually much stronger than outside.

"This is why you want Grandma Xiao dead! Do you want me to explain in more detail?"

That day…

Xiao Jiu Jiu learned more inside information from the ghost in the long robe's explanation.

"Shut up, you child, you're just spouting nonsense!"

Ye Nianling was speechless; her face was twitching slightly.

Seeing that things were not going well, Ye Wanqing quickly called for a stop.

She interrupted Xiao Jiu Jiu directly, her face extremely ugly: "Little thing, don't think that just because you're Ah Chen's sister now you can make things up!"

"Watch out or I'll tear your mouth apart!"

After she finished speaking, she looked at Xiao Zhiyin and Grandpa Ye on the bed: "Mom, Dad, Nianling has always been a kind-hearted child."

I wouldn't even step on an ant normally, I would never do such a thing!

Ye Yunli frowned: "Indeed, she's a coward, she probably doesn't have the guts."

“A-Nian is very gentle, and I don’t believe she would hurt Grandma,” Ye Linling chimed in.

With Ye Linling's support, Ye Wanqing became even more arrogant.

She pointed directly at Xiao Jiu Jiu and scolded, "You're such a young child, and you're not learning anything good."

Ah Chen, a child like this shouldn't stay in our family. Send him away immediately!

"I'd like to see who dares!" Old Master Ye retorted even faster than Ye Chen.

He glanced coldly at Ye Wanqing.

Those old, cloudy eyes held a sinister glint in their eyes that seemed to see right through people.

Ye Wanqing flinched.

Xiao Zhiyin said coldly from the side, "How come I didn't know that our Ye family would arrange marriages for children?"

"that is!"

Ye Yuanshu chimed in, "The Ye family has always practiced free love."

Nianling, who told you we would sell children like commodities?

Although he was asking Ye Nianling, his eyes were fixed on Ye Wanqing.

Upon hearing this, Ye Nianling's eyes widened, her expression pitiful: "But, it's Mom..."

"Shut up!"

"Snapped!"

Before Ye Nianling could say anything, Ye Wanqing slapped her across the face.

Her eyes instantly welled up with tears: "Mom!"

"Don't call me Mom! I'm not your mom!" Ye Wanqing quickly waved her hand.

She pointed at Ye Nianling angrily: "How could you do such a thing to your grandmother!"

Xiao Jiujiu tugged at Ye Chen: "Brother Ye, why does she call her Grandma? Why not Grandma on her mother's side?"

“We call them all the same here,” Ye Chen replied in a low voice.

"Oh~"

Ye Wanqing's change in attitude was too obvious.

Everyone was staring at her.

Even Ye Yunli complained, "It's not certain whether it was done by that coward."

Anyone with eyes can see it.

Ye Wanqing was the one who orchestrated this whole affair; she was the one who wanted Xiao Zhiyin dead.

"Third Aunt, don't you have anything to say?" Ye Linling protected Ye Nianling and glared at her.

Ye Yuanbai chimed in, "That's right, Third Sister, how could you teach a child like that!"

He appeared concerned, but was actually secretly amused.

He has never liked his third sister since he was a child.

When Xiao Ling'er disappeared, she actually wanted to find someone to replace her.

It's obviously not a good thing.

If we can take this opportunity to get rid of her, then the shares she holds...

Thinking of this, Ye Yuanbai was extremely excited.

As for family ties, he didn't really care.

Xiao Jiujiu silently took in all their expressions.

Grandpa was right.

More terrifying than ghosts.

are people.

Ye Wanqing moved her lips, defending herself: "I didn't, these are all your side of the story."

Xiao Jiu Jiu pouted and glared back defiantly: "One-sided story? Are you that guilty?"

"Since the ghost is in my hands, why don't I ask you if this matter has anything to do with you!"

She raised her hand, and the black mass stirred: [Master, stop squeezing me, I'm going to shatter!]

"Go, let her feel your presence."

Xiao Jiujiu let go.

The man in the long robe immediately ran to Ye Wanqing's side and bit her arm hard.

"what!"

A shrill scream was heard.

Everyone in the room felt a chill run down their spine...
