Chapter 2431: You’re Trying to Escape Again?
Ning Shu regretted that she hadn’t taken out the bracelet sooner and that she hadn’t thought of it before.
Finally, she wouldn’t have to be strangled by Li Sanlang all the time.
Li Sanlang didn’t regard her as a person.
Li Sanlang glanced at the buddhist beads on Ning Shu’s wrist, then disappeared.
“You, you’re trying to escape again?” Lady Wang came over with a large group of servant girls and looked at Ning Shu. “You just can’t live peacefully can you? Do you have to create chaos wherever you go?”
“How has the Li family mistreated you for you to be so unwilling to stay here?” Lady Wang’s expression was extremely loathful and fairly impatient.
Her gaze as she looked towards Ning Shu carried an ominous glint.
Ning Shu saw that Li Sanlang had left and immediately tried to climb over the wall again. However, she was blocked by the unidentified force and fell down again.
Ning Shu: …
What the hell was this?
“Grab her,” Lady Wang said impatiently.
Ning Shu dodged the servant girl and said to Lady Wang, “I’m sorry, I was wrong. Please don’t lock me up. I grew up in the open fields of the countryside and it’s difficult for me to stay locked up.”
Ning Shu must find a way to deal with Li Sanlang.
There had to be an explanation for why Li Sanlang was able to become this powerful of a malicious spirit.
Otherwise, she would never be able to leave the Li family.
Lady Wang snorted coldly. “You’re a widow. How could you be allowed to walk around the house as you please? What would we do if you offended our distinguished guests? You would tarnish the reputation of our great Li family.”
Ning Shu: …
Lady Wang acted like the Li family was royalty, but it was just a merchant family.
Within the hierarchy of the four classes; which consisted of scholars, farmers, artisans, and merchants; merchant families weren’t regarded as upper-class.
“I understand. I won’t wander around. I’ll stay in my courtyard and won’t go to the front hall. Moreover, I won’t offend the family’s distinguished guests,” Ning Shu said with her head lowered.
Lady Wang thought and then snorted coldly. “You’d better keep your word or I’ll have you buried.”
Ning Shu nodded docilely.
“Still not going back?” Lady Wang looked at Ning Shu displeasedly.
Ning Shu made a sound of agreement, lowered her head and went back to her courtyard.
Returning to the messy room, Ning Shu mentally sighed.
Sitting cross-legged on the ground, she looked at the buddhist beads on her wrist. She didn’t know how long the buddhist beads would be effective.
It felt like Li Sanlang had a never ending stream of power at his disposal
If he was an ordinary ghost, her talismans should have been able to exterminate him, but Li Sanlang had been struck by them time and time again and had suffered no damage. Even if he was weakened slightly, he would always quickly recover.
What the hell was this?
Ning Shu took a deep breath and began to cultivate.
She didn’t know how long she had been cultivating but when Ning Shu opened her eyes, the sky had already turned dark.
She assumed that she’d pissed off Lady Wang again since no one came to deliver her food. It had already been about a day since she’d even had any water.
Ning Shu got up from the ground and prepared to go out and find something to eat.
Ning Shu opened the door and saw Li Sanlang floating in the doorway.
The bracelet on Ning Shu’s wrist gleamed.
Li Sanlang used his hand to block the golden light of the bracelet and retreated some distance.
Ning Shu gave a chuckle. She felt fairly smug. Then she prepared to go to the kitchen to find something to eat.
Li Sanlang didn’t dare get too close to Ning Shu and just drifted around her.
Ning Shu ignored him. She found some pastries in the kitchen and ate her fill.
