The eldest daughter became popular after appearing on a family variety show

Chapter 285 Toward Death
"Since you have chosen this path, don't think about turning back. I have asked the prison, and they will both die in two days at most. You should focus all your attention on the princess. She is your only daughter in the future. Remember that?"

Ji Xueyao still had half a piece of cake in her mouth that she hadn't swallowed.

The mung bean paste filling was sweet and not greasy or choking, but Ji Xueyao felt like she was suffocating.

She stared blankly at the pastry in her hand, as if the person who brought her the pastry was not the same person who spoke to Ji Zunxing on the screen.

She didn't understand why some people could be so hard-hearted, providing food and clothing to her and her daughter while expecting their death.

Ji Xueyao turned to look at Shen Ruyan, only to find that Shen Ruyan had been standing there in a daze.

There was also a white coat in the package that Ji Minghan gave.

This coat is made particularly long and thin, and it doesn't look suitable for either Shen Ruyan or Ji Xueyao to wear.

Only after Ji Xueyao got closer did she understand why Shen Ruyan was stunned.

This white dress is poorly made. When you pick it up, it seems to be tattered, just like a piece of clothing made by sewing several pieces of white silk together.

The quality of the threads in the middle of the white silk was also very poor. Shen Ruyan just touched it casually and the threads broke, turning the white silk back to its original appearance.

Ji Xueyao was stunned when she saw Shen Ruyan's actions.

They thought Ji Minghan would be on their side, but they didn't expect that Ji Minghan was the one who wanted them dead the most.

"Mother……"

Seeing what Shen Ruyan was holding, Ji Xueyao dropped the cake in her hand into the dirty mud in the dungeon.

Shen Ruyan also realized what was in her hand. In order not to scare Ji Xueyao, she quickly stuffed the white silk back into her bag.

Unexpectedly, this messy movement brought out other things in the bag.

A booklet fell to the ground with a thud.

Ji Xueyao's attention was quickly drawn to the booklet. She briefly forgot about Bai Ling and shifted her gaze to the booklet. "What is this?"

Ji Minghan was a writer, and the booklet that fell out of the bundle he gave was undoubtedly a storybook.

This storybook is exactly the story called "The Down-and-Out Scholar and His Evil Ghost Sister" which Ji Minghan wrote when he was in the academy.

Although she didn't know why Ji Minghan put a storybook in his bag, Ji Xueyao still started reading it.

It is very lonely in prison, and people will be gradually overwhelmed by fear. Instead of being confused and afraid, it is better to read some stories to divert your attention.

Ji Minghan's language is concise and the plot is cheerful. Ji Xueyao just read a few sentences at first, but then she gradually devoted her energy to it and was attracted by the story written by Ji Minghan.

"The Down-and-Out Scholar and His Evil Ghost Sister" is a storybook written by Ji Minghan a few months ago.

The protagonist of the story is a scholar who has no parents, no money and no power. The story begins on the day when the results of the provincial examination are posted. The failed scholar is upset because he did not pass the exam. Suddenly, he sees his reflection in the water and finds that he has been haunted by an evil ghost.

The scholar thought he was dead this time, but he didn't expect that the evil ghost was none other than his sister who had depended on him when he was a child.

Later, with the help of his sister, the scholar helped people exorcise ghosts and perform rituals, and saved a lot of money. The road to the imperial examination was also smooth, which surprised his brother, sister-in-law, village officials and county magistrate who once looked down on him.

It was the first time that Ji Xueyao read a book about something other than love between a man and a woman, and she read it very attentively. However, this booklet only had the first half of the story, and it ended abruptly after explaining how the "evil ghost sister" died.

Seeing that her daughter was so obsessed with the booklet, Shen Ruyan started reading it as well.

Ji Xueyao put on a thicker piece of clothing and huddled in the haystack in the corner, thinking about the story she had just read.

She had to admit that in this story, she saw a miniature of Ji Chenxing, Ji Minghan, and even herself.

The "evil ghost sister" in the storybook is Ji Chenxing, and the person who killed the "sister" and turned her into an "evil ghost" is himself.

"Evil Ghost Sister" was just an ordinary person when she was alive, but after her death, she gained many abilities that normal people do not have.

Through these abilities, she was able to help her brother, the "poor scholar", reach the pinnacle of life. Because of her many good deeds, she was even worshipped by relatives from all over the country...

Ji Xueyao kept comparing what happened to Ji Chenxing in reality with Ji Minghan's story in her mind.

Soon, she discovered a point that she had never noticed before——

All of Ji Chenxing's changes began after her death.

Just like the stories in the vernacular novels, before the protagonist's death, they were all ordinary women, not strong, and even bullied.

But after death, they all returned to their previous lives in another form and became the dominant party.

Death is the biggest turning point in their lives.

This turning point is not the end of life, but a new beginning.

The more Ji Xueyao thought about it, the more she felt that what she was thinking made sense.

Did Ji Minghan put such a storybook here just to hint to herself that she is not without a way out, but a dead end?
Soon, Shen Ruyan also finished reading the storybook.

However, she did not think as much as Ji Xueyao, but angrily threw the notebook to the ground.

"It's true that he's not doing his job properly. Look at what nonsense he wrote. It's misleading!"

As soon as Shen Ruyan finished speaking, Ji Xueyao grabbed her sleeve.

"Mother, Minghan might want to tell us something... Do you think it's possible that after we die, we can come back to life like Ji Chenxing?"

Shen Ruyan was stunned for a moment, then grabbed Ji Xueyao's shoulders.

"Xueyao, don't let your imagination run wild and don't do anything stupid!"

Many people die in this world every day, but from ancient times to the present, after death they all turn into a handful of yellow earth. Ji Chenxing is the only one who can come back from ancient times to the present.

As for why Ji Chenxing was able to come back, no one could explain the reason clearly.

If Ji Xueyao were to try, there would be a 100% chance that she would never come back.

Shen Ruyan didn't want to watch the daughter she had raised for more than ten years die in front of her.

Ji Xueyao broke free from Shen Ruyan's hands, "But mother, we have no other choice now. Didn't you hear what Minghan said? In two days at most, we will both be dead!
"Instead of waiting until that time, why don't I take the initiative? Maybe I will become like Ji Chenxing?"
