My God of Wealth is a Short-lived Ghost

Chapter 274 You can’t have your cake and eat it too

Ji Shuheng took another step back after hearing this. "I've heard this voice in my dream." Suddenly, his mind flashed back to the memory of Ji Yun entrusting himself to Zhao Jinghua when he died.

nine years ago

Ji Shuheng knelt on the ground, holding Ji Yun's head and crying, "Brother! Don't abandon me!"

Blood continued to flow from the corners of Ji Yun's mouth. He stretched out his hand with great effort to hold Ji Shuheng's hand, and placed his hand in the hands of Zhao Jinghua who was also kneeling beside him. "Master... I, Ji Yun, have never... begged... anyone... in my life... I beg you to... take good care of... my younger... brother... for me." At this point, Ji Yun's hand fell heavily, but his eyes did not close.

Seeing this, Ji Shuheng burst into tears, "Brother! Don't abandon me!"

Zhao Jinghua shed tears and then raised her hand to brush Ji Yun's eyelids.

Recalling this, Ji Shuheng fell to his knees on the ground with tears dripping down his face, "Brother..."

Zhao Jinghua kowtowed again in front of Ji Yun's grave and said, "You two don't know my name, right?"

Ji Shuheng turned his head to look at the familiar yet unfamiliar person in front of him and shook his head, while Yuwen Songyue sighed and remained silent.

Zhao Jinghua sneered and kowtowed to Ji Yun's grave again. After he straightened up, he inserted three incense sticks into the soil, then took off his hat, revealing his silver hair scattered behind him. Seeing this, Yuwen Songyue and Ji Shuheng's pupils shrank suddenly.

Zhao Jinghua lowered his eyes for a moment before speaking, "You told me a few days ago that in the past three years, there was always a silver-haired man with blood coming out of all seven orifices in your dreams, sitting at the head of your bed, saying that he was unwilling and didn't want to die. That... was me." At this point he raised his hand again to take off the mask on his face and then spoke again, "My last name is Zhao Jinghua. I died of illness three years ago. Perhaps because of my deep obsession, I stayed in this world, often by my wife's side, and one of my souls remained in the golden elixir. The resentment in the golden elixir caused that soul to turn into a resentful ghost and wander around, and that's how I appeared in your dreams."

Ji Shuheng burst into tears when he heard this. "So what are you doing now..."

Zhao Jinghua turned his head to look at Ji Shuheng with a distressed face. After a moment, he sighed softly and raised his hand to wipe the tears from Ji Shuheng's cheek with his sleeve. "Don't cry, listen to me. Half a month ago on my birthday, my sweetheart was forced to marry the Prince of Lin according to the imperial decree. Unexpectedly, the Prince of Lin was murdered... When he stepped into the bridal chamber, the poison took effect and he died on the spot. I took this opportunity to possess the Prince of Lin and drink the wedding wine with my sweetheart, which can be regarded as a positive result, but forced marriage will eventually have retribution."

Zhao Jinghua's tone sounded so miserable that Yuwen Songyue couldn't help but shed tears. "What a pair of unfortunate couple."

Zhao Jinghua produced a pot of wine and poured it on the ground. "It's not that we are destined to be together. It can only be said that she and I are not meant to be together yet." Zhao Jinghua put the pot on the ground and then slowly stood up.

Yuwen Songyue stepped forward and wanted to help him, but Zhao Jinghua raised his hand to stop him, "No need, this body is not to the point where it needs help after kneeling for a while."

Ji Shuheng lowered his head and clenched his fists. "But why did I hear that the former crown prince of Zhao was murdered by the emperor and empress?"

Zhao Jinghua did not answer but turned around and looked at Yuwen Songyue. "This is also the place where you and I first met."

At the same time, in the backyard of Fengming Building, as Wan Sutong came back, not only Fengming but also Wu Yisa came. The three siblings tiptoed into the main building, but Fengming stopped on the second floor, waved to Wu Yisa and Wan Sutong, and then returned to his room.

Wan Sutong turned her head to meet Wu Yisa's eyes, and at the same time sent him a voice message, "Brother, you are worthy of being me. You said you missed my aunt, but you went back to sleep."

Wu Yisa rubbed Wan Sutong's head and said, "No, you will know in a while." Then he and Wan Sutong walked up to the third floor carefully, but they didn't expect that the third floor was brightly lit and there were sounds of Su Yahui and Zhao Jinghuai fighting.

Seeing this, Wan Sutong knocked on the door and said, "Auntie, Jing Huai, you are still awake."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Jinghuai walked quickly to the door and opened it. "Sister-in-law! You're back!" After that, he was stunned when he saw Wu Yisa. "Uncle?"

When Su Yahui heard Zhao Jinghuai calling her uncle, she immediately looked towards the door. The next moment, her eyes met with Wu Yisa's. However, both mother and son remained silent.

Seeing this, Wan Sutong immediately understood why Feng Ming hid. She bent down and picked up Zhao Jinghuai who was still in a daze. "Jinghuai, let's go downstairs to play with Sister Feng Ming, okay?"

However, Zhao Jinghuai shook his head and said, "Can I go find my brother?"

Wan Sutong smiled and nodded, "Sure, I'll carry you there." Then she turned around and went downstairs quickly.

But I didn't expect to hear my cousin's hoarse and sad voice, "Mom! I finally see you."

When Wan Sutong heard this, tears immediately flowed down her cheeks

Seeing this, Zhao Jinghuai wiped away Wan Sutong's tears and looked at her with a worried look on his face. "It turns out that uncle is not from this continent either. He is so pitiful."

Wan Sutong sniffed and hummed, "It's quite pitiful." Then he sighed.

"Close your eyes"

Zhao Jinghuai didn't ask why and closed his eyes obediently.

Wan Sutong also closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, she met 0533's eyes!

0533 Just as she was about to speak, Wan Sutong quickly made a silent gesture, then closed her eyes again. Finally, she returned to the backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion without any mistakes this time. Wan Sutong breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "Open your eyes."

Zhao Jinghuai obediently opened his eyes but was shocked by the scene in front of him and exclaimed, "This is the backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion!" Then he looked at Wan Sutong with starry eyes, "Sister-in-law is so amazing!"

Wan Sutong felt a little embarrassed by the compliment. She chuckled and then jumped up and walked to the house where she and Zhao Jinghua lived. Just as she was about to push the door open, she heard Zhao Jinghua and Gu Zong talking. "Master, you told me all your plans. Are you afraid that your disciple will kill you?"

As soon as Zhao Jinghua finished speaking, Gu Zong laughed awkwardly, "How can I not be afraid? I know your character very well. I can't tell whether you hate me or not. How dare I hide anything from you?"

Zhao Jinghua chuckled and said with a hint of helplessness, "How could my disciple possibly hate you?"

As soon as these words came out, the room fell silent. After a long while, Gu Zong sighed heavily and said, "How could you not hate me? I didn't mean to hide it from you. It was because I was not a good doctor and failed to diagnose that there was a poisonous insect in your body. You also know the saying that you can't have your cake and eat it too."

Zhao Jinghua sneered and said, "You don't need to say more. I don't hate you. I know how good your medical skills are."

Wan Sutong and Zhao Jinghuai looked at each other, and then they reached a tacit consensus and left the palace in a flash.
