Rebirth: Ghost Exorciser

1685 The Xia Family Is Frightened

As soon as Xia Mingzhen finished speaking, it was like an explosion going off in the heads of Father and Mother Xia, and Xia Mingcheng. As if they had been struck by lightning, they were shocked and stupefied, and didn’t react for a long time.

Xia Mingcheng was fine. He had long seen the true face of that Yuan woman, but Father and Mother Xia were so shocked by their youngest son’s words that their faces changed drastically. They couldn’t believe it for a long time.

The person who was in the most disbelief was Mother Xia. It had to be pointed out that her impression of Yuan Yuan had been very, very good. She never thought that the other party would be vicious enough to harm her son. Mother Xia gasped heavily for breath a few times. She still couldn’t believe it. She gritted her teeth and squeezed out a few words with difficulty. “Mingzhen, are you… mistaken?”

Xia Mingcheng could tell that his mother had been agitated by his brother’s words and was in a daze. He was about to persuade his brother to talk later, but Xia Mingzhen couldn’t wait for his parents to see that woman’s true colors. He was afraid that his mother would really let that vicious woman marry into their family. If that happened, would he still be able to live? Xia Mingcheng hurriedly said, “That’s impossible. When I went up to the third floor, I happened to run into that woman. At first, I thought that she had something to say to me or wanted to find Brother through me. Who would have thought that she would be so vicious? When I wasn’t paying attention, she suddenly pushed me down the stairs to kill me. That woman is simply too vicious. I just said a few bad things about her, but she wanted to kill me. She’s really too vicious!”

When Xia Mingzhen mentioned badmouthing Yuan Yuan, Mother Xia froze. She had been hoping that it was a misunderstanding, but her youngest son’s words completely erased that hope.

When something happened to her youngest son, Mother Xia hadn’t thought much of it and just thought that he had accidentally fallen down the stairs. However, Mingzhen’s words clearly revealed that he hadn’t fallen down the stairs by accident, but had been pushed.

Now that she thought about it, there had only been her, Mingzhen and Yuan Yuan at home. She had been on the balcony at the back and hadn’t seen anything. If Mingzhen really had been pushed, then the only suspect was that Yuan woman.

Mother Xia suddenly remembered that the Master whom Mingcheng had invited over had read Mingzhen’s physiognomy and said that he would offend a petty person.

Now that Mother Xia thought about it carefully, wasn’t this exactly it?

At that time, that Yuan woman had heard Mingzhen. Mother Xia had been especially embarrassed and wanted to scold her youngest son. It was Yuan Yuan who took the initiative to gloss over the matter and even blame herself.

Mother Xia had been very glad that she had good taste and that the daughter-in-law she had found for her eldest son had such a good character. Now that she thought about it, however, this didn’t have to do with a good character, but thoughts that were too deep. It was one thing to have deep thoughts, but for this woman to kill Mingzhen over just a few bad words, she could only be described as ‘malicious.’

Mother Xia had been slapped in the face too painfully. She was especially scared, and she didn’t stop trembling. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ NovelEnglish.net

Xia Mingzhen couldn’t help but mention Xia Mingcheng. He couldn’t help but say to Father and Mother Xia, “Fortunately, my brother has a good eye and didn’t marry that two-faced and vicious woman. Otherwise, the person who would be crying now would be my brother!

“I get it now. That woman is a good faker. I just said a few things about her back then, and she said she didn’t blame me and that it wasn’t all my fault. Who would have thought that she’s ruthless enough to kill me?” Xia Mingzhen continued to stress to Mother Xia, “Mom, you really can’t let my brother marry this woman. What if she wants to kill me again?

“I can still move out and stay away from her, but Dad, Mom, if that woman becomes the daughter-in-law of our Xia family and lives with you, what if you displease her, and she wants to harm you?”

Xia Mingzhen really wasn’t scaring them for nothing with his last sentence – it was his genuine thought. Father and Mother Xia were also shocked by their youngest son’s words. They trembled non-stop and their faces turned pale.

Mother Xia was especially scared and flustered, particularly when she thought of her son’s words. The couple looked at each other and shuddered violently. Mother Xia was so scared that she couldn’t even say a word. She stumbled and flushed red, unable to utter a word.

Father Xia hurriedly tried to calm the situation. “Okay, kid, stop talking. Your mother gets it!”

Xia Mingzhen and his brother took in Mother Xia’s scared and pale face, and heaved sighs of relief.

At that moment, Xia Mingcheng added in an especially serious and solemn tone, “Dad, Mom, I really wasn’t deliberately clashing with you before. There’s indeed something wrong with that Yuan woman’s character; she’s too evil. I don’t know what thing she stirred up which she shouldn’t have, but she killed many people, including Liling!”

At the mention of Yan Liling, Xia Mingcheng’s eyes couldn’t help but turn red. He didn’t want to mention it at first, but in order to prevent his mother from being bewitched by that Yuan woman again, he could only tell her about how Yuan Yuan had awakened some evil creature and caused the tragic deaths of Lin Dong, Chai Qing and the others.

Xia Mingzhen was both scared and curious when he heard this, and his eyes almost popped out of his head. Father and Mother Xia were scared out of their wits by their eldest son’s words and turned pale with fright.

Chi Shuyan had been practically invisible the whole time, but she couldn’t remain silent now. Looking at Xia Mingcheng’s pleading gaze, she naturally took over and narrated the truth. In an even and calm tone, she recounted in detail how Yan Liling and the others had died strange and tragic deaths. This completely scared Father and Mother Xia out of their wits.

Seeing that Mother Xia’s vision was turning black and she looked like she was about to faint, Chi Shuyan said, “Mm, that’s about it.”

The atmosphere in the ward was dead silent at that moment. Father and Mother Xia were so scared that their faces turned green and their lips trembled. Xia Mingzhen wasn’t much better, but young people were always curious. He gradually suppressed the fear in his heart and stuttered, “Master, Master, are… are there really ghosts in this world?”
