Adopting A Stray Cat Chapter 353: The Unspoken Secret1

Chapter 353: Chapter 353: The Unspoken Secret_1

The lady ghost dressed in pink gently brushed her fingers over her fair face, calming her emotions gradually.

Qin Sisi waited silently on the side. The lady ghost held a deep grudge in her heart, there must be a wish she had yet to fulfill.

After a while, the lady ghost finally handed the mirror back to Qin Sisi and asked, "Did you really remove the peach wood nail?"

It seed that the magic not only restored the lady ghost’s appearance but also her voice.

Her voice, originally hoarse and uncomfortable to listen to, was now refreshing and clear.

Qin Sisi nodded affirmatively and replied, "Yes."

"Why did you help ?" The lady ghost stared at Qin Sisi’s facial expressions carefully, her past experiences made her reluctant to trust anyone again.

Qin Sisi honestly responded, "I need soul power."

The lady ghost showed a look of sudden realization, followed by a cold laugh. "So you didn’t co to help

after all."

Qin Sisi declared, "I am a principled mage. If you give

your soul power, I will help you fulfill your unfinished wish."

The lady ghost hesitated, then looked at Qin Sisi nervously and hopefully and asked, "Can you help

fulfill my wish? Can you help

revenge?"

Qin Sisi paused then replied, "I can help, but I won’t kill people."

The lady ghost let out a strange noise that was a mixture of laughter and crying and said resentfully, "Not killing? How is that called revenge! Why am I dead, while they are alive and well? They are the ones who did wrong, why shouldn’t they be punished?"

Looking at the lady ghost’s agitated expression, Qin Sisi asked curiously, "How did you die?"

"I..." The lady ghost’s expression stiffened, she was suddenly at a loss for words.

Qin Sisi waited for a while but the lady ghost kept her lips sealed.

Qin Sisi found it peculiar. She recalled what Master Huang had told her and carefully asked the lady ghost, "Was it a dical accident?"

The lady ghost slowly shook her head and said, "It seems so on the surface, but I know it wasn’t."

Qin Sisi’s brows knitted, it seed there were hidden circumstances. But if the lady ghost harbored such a strong hatred for the killer, why was she silent about her cause of death? Was there sothing indescribable?

Qin Sisi ventured to ask, "The father of the child..."

The lady ghost’s face changed and she harshly interrupted Qin Sisi, "Don’t bring up that scoundrel!"

Qin Sisi was taken aback, but understanding dawned on her. It seed that the lady ghost’s death was related to the father of the child she had miscarried.

Qin Sisi thought for a mont and asked again, "Do you know it was your husband who hired soone to nail the peach wood nail?"

The lady ghost chuckled coldly and responded, "I know, of course, I know. He treated

this way, why can’t I seek revenge? Why can’t you help

kill them?"

As she spoke, the lady ghost’s emotions flared up again, and her just restored face grew a bit horrifying due to her resentnt – though it was much better than when she first appeared.

Qin Sisi sighed and said, "If you won’t tell

the cause of your death, how do you expect

to help you?"

The lady ghost hesitated for a mont, then finally lowered her head, and began to tell her story, "My na is Chen Yan, my husband’s na is Chen Gang, we are from the sa village, he is two years older than .

We started dating in high school. After failing to score well on our college exams, we both decided not to go to university and went out to work together.

We moved in together when we started working, and eventually I fell pregnant accidentally. Thinking we were still young, and not ready for a child, I decided to have an abortion.

Half a year later, I fell pregnant again. Afraid that another abortion would harm my health, we decided to get married.

The following year I gave birth to a baby boy. Due to so complications, I had to have a cesarean section.

Our relationship was okay generally. But after the birth, he hated the baby’s cries and almost always ran away from ho. I was too busy taking care of the baby and could hardly care about him; our relationship began to cool.

When the baby was three months old, I fell pregnant again. Considering that our first born was too young, we decided to have another abortion.

He took

to the hospital for the operation, and the doctor told us to abstain from sex for a month afterwards.

But, just one week later, he was pestering

for sex. I gave in after countless requests.

That night, we did it twice. And again the next morning. As a result, I suffered a uterine perforation which led to a massive hemorrhage. By the ti I was taken to the hospital, it was too late."

Qin Sisi’s face turned slightly pale. She clenched and unclenched her hands, grappling with what she’d just heard.

She was at a loss for words; she simply didn’t know what to say about such a story.

After Chen Yan finished telling her story, tears stread down her face and she was crying uncontrollably.

Qin Sisi looked at her sympathetically, then turned to Ye You, signaling him to untie Chen Yan.

Fearing Chen Yan’s uncontrollable emotions, Ye You hadn’t loosened the Vajra Bundling Spirit Rope.

After getting Qin Sisi’s approval, Ye You lightly retracted his claw and retracted the Vajra Bundling Spirit Rope.

Freed, Chen Yan allowed herself to collapse onto the ground, burying her face in her hands, and wept.

Qin Sisi patted her lightly on the shoulder. Chen Yan was probably around the sa age as herself, yet she had lost her life in the bloom of youth.

But who was to bla? her husband? Or herself?

Chen Yan cried for a while before managing to lift her head again. She continued, "At first, I thought it was my fate to die this way. I only worried about my child who was just a few months old.

So when the ssenger of Death ca to get , I asked him to let

stay in the human world for a few days, so I could see my child properly.

The ssenger of Death agreed, and gave

seven days."

Qin Sisi heard through Ye You about the special privileges of the ssenger of Death, to allow recently deceased souls to linger in the human world for a few days. Seven days was quite a long ti, almost the limit of their power.

Chen Yan continued, "Therefore, for the seven nights after my death, I went to see my child every night. After my death, my child was taken care of by his grandparents.

Perhaps because newly deceased souls don’t carry heavy yin energy, he never cried once when I was with him.

On the seventh night, the last night I watched over my child, I planned to depart with the ssenger of Death to the Netherworld for reincarnation after that night.

But, I discovered a secret.

My husband, Chen Gang, was sleeping with our neighbor’s wife rely days after my death.

I saw them entangled naked together and it felt as though my heart was on fire. I rushed to them in a frenzy and tried to hit and kick them, but they couldn’t feel my presence. My stength was in vain."
