Lord Ghost Husband, Please Let Me Go - Chapter 7

Chapter 7: You Are Not Allowed to Wander Around

But the bruise on my forehead was throbbing painfully. Aunt Qin also asked me, “Madam, how did you get such a large swelling on your forehead? Where did you bump it? Let me reduce the swelling for you so it doesn’t leave a scar. It would be such a pity to ruin such a pretty face.”

Hearing that it might leave a scar, I immediately nodded my head vigorously like a rattle-drum – it really needed to be treated quickly. With lingering fear, I glanced at the coffin. Could it be that I had hit my head inside the coffin?

Following that thought, I looked at the coffin.

In the upper right corner of the coffin, there were inexplicably several scratch marks, and the nails showed signs of being pried open, as if something had indeed crawled out from inside…

I had examined the coffin yesterday, and there had been nothing unusual at that time.

While I was pondering this, Wei Que’s voice sounded in my ear again. “Su Su, you must remember what you promised me.”

His sudden voice scared me so much that my poor heart nearly jumped out.

So last night wasn’t a dream – I had truly promised my dead ghost husband to help investigate his death and find out who killed him… I thought about it, but I had no clue whatsoever. And because Wei Que remembered nothing, in the Wei Family, I truly didn’t know who to trust or who to suspect.

Anyway, I couldn’t rely on anyone I could only depend on myself.

I could only follow her dejectedly back to my room. Along the way, Aunt Qin told me about various rules here. She informed me that this villa was a quadrangle courtyard, and I would mainly be active in the eastern rooms and courtyard. As for other areas, it was best not to go there, adding that this was the rule in wealthy families and asked for my understanding.

On the surface, I kept nodding, but inwardly I was complaining if he didn’t want me to go there, there must be something wrong, otherwise why would he stop me?

After entering the room, she skillfully rolled a boiled egg over my forehead to reduce the swelling. I also mentally scolded myself although Aunt Qin was ugly and spoke strangely, if I defined her as a bad person just because of that, it would be too rash.

After Aunt Qin finished treating my forehead, she withdrew, repeatedly reminding me before leaving not to go to other courtyards. I nodded and watched her close the door with a smile.

As soon as the door closed, a pale, transparent soul emerged from my body and smiled leisurely at me.

Wei Que…

I was already somewhat headache, and after seeing him appear, I felt my entire head swelling even more… I could only look at him with helplessness. “Could you please not appear so suddenly all the time? I have a weak heart – sooner or later you’ll scare me to death.”

“I thought you’d be used to it since you’ve been seeing ghosts since childhood,” Wei Que said, crossing his legs as he sat on the bed. Being handsome really had its advantages – even such simple action appeared so suave and unrestrained when he did it, making it impossible to look away…

My heart was pounding wildly, almost jumping out of my chest!

If I didn’t know he was a ghost, I think I could have pounced on him and devoured him alive in an instant… But remembering his nature as a fierce ghost, I reconsidered – to preserve my own life, it was better not to provoke him.

I could only suppress the palpitations in my heart and tell Wei Que, “Well, I’ll handle your matter later. I still need to go out for a while.”

“Where are you going?” His expression suddenly turned cold. Looking at his demeanor, anyone who didn’t know better would think I was going out to meet a lover!
