The baby no longer cried as he nestled in his father’s arms. He held his father’s arms, looking frightened. Anyone who saw him now would feel sorry for him.
Ye Xin tried her best to force a smile on her face as she said, “M-mu… Mu Chen, hubby… What do you mean?”
Mu Chen looked at Ye Xin frostily as he said, “Do you need me to repeat myself? You know very well if you’re the baby’s biological mother or not.”
“I-L… Of course, I am the baby’s biological mother. I carried him in my womb for ten months,” Ye Xin said tremblingly.
Mu Chen sneered. “Is that so? Aren’t you afraid of being struck by lightning when you say that? I heard the babies’ eyes are special. They can see things that adults can’t. I wonder if he saw the ghost of his biological mother standing behind you.”
After Mu Chen finished speaking, he carried the baby and turned around to say, “Nuan, accompany Grandma to her room to rest. I’ll bring the baby to bask in the sun. You did well today so I’ll ask Sister Yu to give you a bonus. In the future, continue making sure that outsiders don’t carry the baby.”
Nuan hurriedly agreed and went forward to support Jiang Jin’s arm. “Old Madam, let’s return to the room.”
Jiang Jin’s gaze fell on Ye Xin’s pale face. In the end, she did not say anything and turned around to leave.
Ye Xin felt her hair standing on end. She hurriedly chased after Jiang Jin as she called out, “Grandma!”
“Grandma, what does Mu Chen mean? What nonsense is talking about?” Ye Xin asked, grabbing Jiang Jin’s hand.
Jiang Jin was speechless. She could not believe Ye Xin was shameless enough to ask this question, and she really could not believe she had to explain Mu Chen’s obvious words. After a moment, she sized Ye Xin up.
Ye Xin took a step back under Jiang Jin’s intense gaze. Her face turned even paler.
Jiang Jin slowly said, “I heard that those who died unjustly can’t leave in peace. They can only haunt those who are responsible, directly or indirectly, for their deaths. They would erode the culprits’ good luck bit by bit. If the resentment isn’t great, it can’t be quickly quelled or satisfied. With that, they
would leave in peace. However, if the resentment is too great, the culprit might have to pay with their life.”
Ye Xin was frozen. She felt chills running up her spine, and she could not help but s.h.i.+ver. Gooseb.u.mps erupted on her flesh immediately.
Jiang Jin looked at Ye Xin and sighed inwardly. ‘Greed can even swallow one’s conscience.’
Ye Xin was clearly frightened since she was aware of the truth. When she regained her senses, the corridor was already empty. She panicked, wondering if she had truly been discovered. Moreover, what did their words mean? Was Song Ning haunting her?
Ye Xin tried her best not to look behind her. Although it was broad daylight, she broke out in cold sweat. At the same time, she recalled her mother’s words. Her mother’s master had said that something would happen to her if she continued staying in the Mu family. Was it true? Could it be that Song Ning
was haunting her, causing her to meet with one misfortune after another?
It was true that the baby would cry whenever he saw her as though he had seen a ghost. He would even hide from her. Did he really see Song Ning’s ghost?
Ye Xin’s hair stood on end again. She had to find her mother. Only her mother could help her now. After all, only her mother would believe her words..
