Having transmigrated into a book, who would still want to be a secondary wife?

Chapter 1016 The Story of the Female Ghost

Song Ruozhen looked around the room and quickly sensed the presence of the ghost.

At that moment, the others also noticed the chill in the room. Despite the bright sunshine, not a single ray of sunlight could penetrate the room, and it was filled with a cold air.

This feeling... is like not having seen the sun in a long time.

Mencius' mother subconsciously rubbed her arms. Even though she didn't understand anything, she noticed something strange at this moment.

This shouldn't be happening, this really shouldn't be happening!

"Prince Yang, why is there such a place in your backyard that never sees sunlight?" Meng's mother couldn't help but ask.

Generally speaking, people prefer houses to be built facing the sun, and even if a house isn't facing the sun, it will still get some sunlight throughout the day.

Such a cold and damp room is not something an ordinary person would like.

Prince Yang frowned and said, "This mansion was already here when my father bestowed it upon me. I chose my favorite courtyard to live in, and I didn't pay much attention to the other places."

I remember not liking this place the first time I came here, and I've rarely come back since.

The Prince's residence was quite large, and since he had never been married before, he didn't need that many places to live, so he never paid attention to them.

Who would have thought that such a strange thing would actually appear in such a cold and gloomy place? It's really dangerous.

Who lived in this house before?

Song Ruozhen looked at the female ghost in the corner. She had been injured by Song Ruozhen's talisman last night and had been quite menacing, but she immediately stopped moving when she saw Song Ruozhen.

"I remember it used to be the residence of a general. It seems that the general died in battle and the house was abandoned afterward."

Prince Yang pondered before speaking. He had only heard a few words about it and didn't know the specifics.

“It’s General Li,” Chu Junting said.

"General Li?" Prince Yang was taken aback. "Could it be the General Li who never married in his life?"

Chu Junting nodded, "It's him."

Mencius' mother had naturally heard of General Li, and her expression immediately became complicated.

"I heard that when General Li returned from his first battle, he made great contributions and was promoted to the sixth rank. He also got a small house in the capital."

He seemed to have a sweetheart, and the two were in love and were planning to get married when General Li was ordered to the battlefield.

He was gone for three years, and there were even reports of him dying in battle.

The Meng family were originally military officers, so they had a strong impression of this matter.

"General Li knows your father and is older than him, so it's normal that you're not aware of this matter."

I remember when your father learned of General Li's death in battle, he got drunk that very night and said that someone as capable as him could not have died so easily. He also lamented that he hadn't even gotten married yet, and that he had lost everything just like that.

I felt sorry for General Li at the time. His parents had already passed away, and he died on the battlefield, leaving behind no children.

"Then one day, the house suddenly caught fire and burned everything to the ground, but during the cleanup, they found the body of a woman, but no one knew who she was."

As Mencius' mother spoke, she felt a chill run down her spine and couldn't help but ask, "Could it be... that woman who burned to death in that fire?"

Song Ruozhen nodded. "That should be it."

"Auntie, you said that General Li originally planned to get married, and this girl who died in the fire must be General Li's sweetheart."

She diligently dressed and groomed herself every day, and stayed here every night, all in anticipation of General Li's return.

For a moment, everyone in the room fell silent.

Meng Qin and Prince Yang originally harbored resentment towards the female ghost, but now that they know the reason, they can no longer utter those words of resentment.

This female ghost... is really quite pitiful.

"She must have stayed here every day, and even in death, she held onto this conviction, firmly believing that General Li was not dead."

Coincidentally, this place was later rebuilt into the residence of Prince Yang, and she has remained here ever since.

Song Ruozhen looked at the woman in the corner, and after hearing what she said, tears also streamed down the woman's face.

"I finally remember, the person I've been waiting for is Li Lang!"

The female ghost's memory is fragmented; she only knows that she is waiting for someone, so she spends all her time waiting here, but she can't figure out who she is waiting for.

Now, after hearing Mencius' mother's words, it was as if they all came back to her.

"The news from the border says that Li Lang is just missing, and his body has not been found. I believe he is definitely not dead!"

"His martial arts skills were so formidable; everyone in the army praised his abilities. How could he have died so easily?"

After hearing her words, Song Ruozhen asked Chu Junting in confusion, "Was General Li missing at the time?"

Chu Junting nodded, "We only found out about this later. General Li faked his death to escape, ambushed the enemy, obtained their intelligence, and ultimately won a great victory at the border. General Li then returned to the capital in triumph."

Song Ruozhen was slightly taken aback. "So, General Li is still alive?"

"Yes, he's still alive."

Meng's mother nodded, "General Li has made great contributions. After returning, he is in the limelight. The emperor has also rewarded him handsomely. Many noble ladies are willing to marry him."

However, after returning, he rejected all those who tried to arrange marriages for him, and even now, at his advanced age, he remains single.

Prince Yang took in Song Ruozhen's reaction and asked, "Sister-in-law, did you see that female ghost?"

“She’s right there,” Song Ruozhen said, pointing to the corner.

“Last night I had Meng Qin put up a talisman outside the door, but she failed to possess it and was instead injured by the talisman.”

After listening to what we said, she finally understood her place.

When Song Ruozhen saw the female ghost rush over after hearing that General Li was still alive, her eyes were filled with disbelief and anticipation.

"Girl, can you see me?"

Everyone noticed Song Ruozhen's gaze moving from afar to near, and apart from Chu Junting, the other three quickly took two steps back.

The female ghost is here!

Yang Wang even felt as if a faint breeze had passed by, and felt a chill run down his spine. He had never thought he would encounter such a strange thing before.

"You possessed King Yang's body and absorbed his vital energy. Do you know the sins you have committed?"

Song Ruozhen had a cold face. Although the female ghost was indeed quite pitiful, sin is sin.

King Yang had no grudge against her, yet she nearly caused his death.

The female ghost's expression changed. "I...I know."

"Please tell me where Li Lang is, and let me see him one more time."

"I'd be willing to die for just to see him one last time!"

The female ghost looked anxious. "I can return all the vital energy I've recently absorbed to him. I really didn't mean to harm him."
