Chapter 345: 345 Chapter Atonent Chapter 345: 345 Chapter Atonent For Zhong Niangyao, whose ideas seed to co to life as quickly as they arose, Zeng Zhang and Pan Zii were sowhat astonished. However, now that they were planning to give Zhong Niannao a try, they could only trust her.
Soon, Zeng Zhang and Pan Zii led Zhong Niangyao to Old Mrs. Zeng’s room.
As for Zhao Xuanglang and Liu Zihang, the two did not follow them upstairs to join the activity, and they stayed in the living room to wait.
Upon entering the room, they saw light coming in through the window. Although it was already fall, the sunlight filtering through the window still carried a hint of warmth, giving a very comfortable feeling.
Zhong Niangyao glanced around and noticed that the room was well-ventilated and clean, making it suitable for recuperation.
However, the elderly figure lying on the bed was sowhat out of place in this comfortable room.
The elderly woman was originally lying on the bed, but when she saw visitors, she slowly sat up, leaning against the headboard, her face clearly showing confusion.
Zhong Niangyao looked at the elderly woman, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, then she returned to calmness.
Old Mrs. Zeng looked at Zhong Niangyao and then at her son and daughter-in-law, “Who is this—”
Zeng Zhang and Pan Zii glanced at each other, also unsure how to explain to Old Mrs. Zeng. After all, they couldn’t just tell her they suspected there was sothing unclean in the house and had brought Zhong Niangyao, a master, to take a look.
“I am here to have a chat,” said Zhong Niangyao as she directly approached the bed, pulled over a chair, and sat down, “About your current situation.”
Old Mrs. Zeng was stunned, sowhat perplexed.
“This—” a hint of embarrassnt appeared on Pan Zii’s face, then she spoke up, “Mom, Lady Zhong is a master. She is very skilled in paranormal matters.”
“Nonsense.”
The once kind-looking Old Mrs. Zeng suddenly looked somber, and there was a faint hint of concealed worry as she looked directly at Zhong Niangyao, “Young lady, there is nothing wrong in our house. You should leave imdiately!”
“Mom—” Pan Zii voiced her concern, “Your health deteriorated without reason, and even the doctors couldn’t diagnose any problem. Please let Lady Zhong take a look, if only for peace of mind!”
Zeng Zhang also chid in, “Yes, Mom! This person was brought by Zihang, he is also worried about you. You can’t just let her leave like this!”
“No need,” Old Mrs. Zeng’s attitude beca very firm, “You must make her leave now. I am fine and don’t need any help.”
“Mom!” Zeng Zhang’s face was full of helplessness, “Please let her take a look! She has co from far away! And to think, you were even taken to the ergency room and still say you are fine.”
“Don’t talk anymore,” Old Mrs. Zeng’s expression worsened, and she directly said, “I have already decided. No matter what you say, it’s no use. Now, all of you leave, I need to rest.”
Seeing Old Mrs. Zeng’s uncharacteristically firm attitude, Zeng Zhang and Pan Zii exchanged glances. But since the concerned person was unwilling, there was nothing they could do.
“Um, Lady Zhong,” Pan Zii’s face carried a hint of embarrassnt, “Sorry for troubling you for nothing today, we—”
Zhong Niangyao ignored Pan Zii, her gaze still on Old Mrs. Zeng’s face, “What are you afraid of?”
With that statent, Old Mrs. Zeng’s facial expression didn’t change, but soon returned to normal, her deanor very cold, “I don’t understand what you are talking about. But I can tell you clearly, there’s nothing wrong with . My recent ill health is rely due to old age.”
“And you, young girl, should not deceive others. You’d better find a proper job, which would be better than anything.”
“Oh?” Zhong Niangyao spoke with interest, “Old lady, how do you know I am deceiving anyone? What if I actually have abilities? You can’t look down on my skills just because of my young age, can you?”
A hint of panic flashed in Old Mrs. Zeng’s eyes, but her face remained calm, “I don’t know what you’re talking about, but I don’t need you here. You should leave now.”
Hearing such a clear order to leave, Zhong Niangyao’s expression remained unchanged, nor did she show any intention of getting up. She tilted her head, looking at Old Mrs. Zeng, “You are afraid. You’re afraid I’ll discover sothing. Or maybe, if there really is a ghost causing trouble, you’re afraid I might harm it, right?”
Initially, the conversation between Zhong Niangyao and Old Mrs. Zeng left Zeng Zhang and Pan Zii completely confused. But now, they seed to understand—Mom was just protecting the unseen ghost.
“Mom, what are you doing?” Zeng Zhang spoke in disbelief, “Do you know sothing? Is that why you didn’t want Lady Zhong to check today?”
Pan Zii, though silent, her face clearly showed disapproval.
“Get out, all of you get out now.”
Old Mrs. Zeng suddenly beca very emotional. She pointed towards the door, her voice raised several notches, “I don’t want to see anyone right now. Everyone, get out.”
Seeing Old Mrs. Zeng’s unusual deanor, Zeng Zhang beca even less likely to leave.
“Actually, there are no ghosts in your house,” Zhong Niangyao suddenly spoke up, “and there are no paranormal occurrences here.”
“That’s impossible,” Old Mrs. Zeng blurted out.
But it was exactly this reaction that made Zeng Zhang and Pan Zii even more aware of the abnormality.
If there really was nothing in the house, they should be happy to have guessed correctly. Yet, Old Mrs. Zeng’s expression wasn’t one of joy; instead, she looked sorrowful and disbelieving.
“I am not lying,” Zhong Niangyao spoke blandly, “I think you believed that your daughter has always been by your side. Unfortunately, I must tell you, there is nothing by your side.”
“That’s impossible, absolutely impossible,” Old Mrs. Zeng appeared deeply distressed, “That master clearly told Niuniu has been beside , always by my side.”
“So, you harbored thoughts of death, didn’t you? Your body has no issues, but you want to die, and that’s why your health keeps deteriorating. You believe you need to atone, and you plan to use your life for that atonent.”
