Liu Sanniang nodded. “Do you know how she died?”
Granny Li shook her head. “I don’t know. Councillor Tan said that she died of illness.”
Liu Sanniang said, “No, she’s covered in wounds. She was beaten up by her son. Her resentment is not accumulated in a day or two.”
She gave birth to him, but he abused his mother for fun. This hurt was so deep in her soul that she could not rest in peace even after she died.
As for Tan Fengzhi, he did not repent at all. He only felt deep disgust. He hated his mother for haunting him after she passed away. If not for the fact that they were separated by life and death, he would have continued to commit atrocities.
Therefore, the person who needed help was not Tan Fengzhi, but his mother.
Granny Li felt that Liu Sanniang was simply unique. Before this, no psychics had ever done such a thing. She had been on this path for so many years, but she had never encountered anyone like Liu Sanniang.
Liu Sanniang helped the government office solve cases. She thought that Liu Sanniang was doing it to uphold justice, but this justice was not just for the sake of the living but also for the dead.
Granny Li chased after Liu Sanniang and asked. “Miss Liu, what did you mean by three days?”
Liu Sanniang said slowly, “Granny Li, don’t tell me you don’t know that the deceased’s soul will linger around for seven days?”
Granny Li blushed. She knew, but was that the point?
The main point was that Liu Sanniang knew that it was a vengeful spirit, but she still let her stay. Wasn’t she afraid that the vengeful spirit would do something?
However, since Liu Sanniang dared to do this, she must have her reason.
Granny Li felt exhausted. She should worry about herself. Granny Li quickly asked her. “Miss Liu, is there something on me? How can I get rid of it? My talisman is useless.”
Liu Sanniang looked at Granny Li and replied. “Granny Li, please extend your hand.”
Granny Li was a little afraid of reaching out, but looking at Liu Sanniang’s clean eyes, she felt that she was being paranoid. She reached out and Liu Sanniang held her hand. Granny Li was stunned.
A warmth spread out from Liu Sanniang’s palm into Granny Li’s body. She felt that all the fatigue in her body had disappeared. She seemed to have become a few years younger and was extremely energetic.
Liu Sanniang let go of her hand. “Done, you were just infected with some resentment. It’s fine now.”
Granny Li stretched her body. “Miss Liu, you’re really omnipotent.”
What happened to Liu Sanniang over the course of a few months was beyond Granny Li’s ability to understand. A few months ago, Liu Sanniang did not know anything but now her ability had far exceeded hers.
Liu Sanniang smiled. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll go home first.”
Granny Li nodded. “Okay, okay.”
Granny Li looked away from Liu Sanniang’s departing figure reluctantly. She really wanted to become Liu Sanniang’s disciple, but she knew that she was not worthy. Liu Sanniang was gifted and blessed by the heavens.
When Liu Sanniang returned home, Madam Wei was still awake. Seeing that Liu Sanniang was back, she was relieved. “I left some food for you. Go eat before sleeping.”
Liu Sanniang nodded. “Mother, go to sleep first.”
Madam Wei nodded. Her daughter was still young, but she no longer needed her protection.
Liu Sanniang ate before returning to her room.
In the Tan mansion.
The servants were all trembling with fear. Granny Zhou pulled Tan Fengzhi into the house with enormous strength and slammed the door shut.
As soon as the door closed, Tan Fengzhi revealed his true colors. The fear on his face disappeared and was replaced by an excited expression. “You’re really my mother. Why don’t you find a stronger body to possess? This body surely can’t withstand my torture.”
Granny Zhou revealed a pained expression. “I really regret giving birth to you. I should have let you die of illness back then.”
Tan Fengzhi smiled. “It’s a pity that you couldn’t bear to let me die. It’s all thanks to you that I am still alive and kicking.”
Tan Fengzhi rolled up his sleeves with a vicious look in his eyes.
After Old Madam Tan died, he felt that he hadn’t had enough fun. He thought he would never have a chance to beat his mother again but he didn’t expect she would be sent back for him to torture again. This world was indeed full of miracles.
Looking at Tan Fengzhi raising his fist at her, Granny Zhou felt a deep fear and could not help but reach out to block it.
She had completely forgotten how strong she was when she dragged Tan Fengzhi into the house.
Tan Fengzhi’s eyes were red as he threw a punch at her.
Granny Zhou pushed him away in panic.
She thought that her strength was too little to even make him budge an inch, but she did not expect Tan Fengzhi to be sent flying by her.
Tan Fengzhi was taken aback.
Granny Zhou was stunned. She looked at her hands and couldn’t help but tremble. She had been abused by her son for many years. Now, could she finally teach her son a lesson?
Since she could not fight back before, she could only beg for mercy and to be gentler while beating her.
After being ill-treated by her son for decades, her heart had long died. She used to dream that if one day she had the strength, she would definitely teach this unfilial son a lesson.
Now, she finally had that chance.
When Tan Fengzhi came back to his senses, he wanted to run, but before he could make a dash for it, Granny Zhou grabbed his foot and said coldly, “Son, today I’ll use this old and weak body to teach you a lesson.”
“My son, do you remember the first time you hit me? You slapped me. My heart ached for half a month. I gave birth to you and protected you, but you didn’t care about me at all. You ingrate!”
Old Madam Tan used Granny Zhou’s body to slap Tan Fengzhi.
Tan Fengzhi felt so much pain that his soul almost left his body. His mind was buzzing, and his face was numb for a long time. He had always been the perpetrator, but now, he became the victim.
Pain spread through every part of his body.
Granny Zhou looked at him coldly. Tan Fengzhi felt that Granny Zhou suddenly looked like his mother. He couldn’t help but beg her. “Mother, I was wrong. I was wrong. Please forgive me.”
Granny Zhou smiled coldly. “My son, this is just the beginning. Miss Liu gave me three days. Can’t you even suffer for three days? Do you know how long I suffered for? Decades!”
Old Madam Tan had long lost her hope in her son, so she naturally wouldn’t be soft-hearted just because Tan Fengzhi begged her for mercy.
Using Granny Zhou’s body, she vented her anger.
Every time she hit him, she would ask Tan Fengzhi how it felt. Tan Fengzhi kept pleading for mercy, but it was useless.
Those three days were hell.
