After I stopped being a lady from a rich family, I fought all over the capital

Chapter 252 requires the cooperation of both of you, husband and wife.

"The little girl's situation is special."

"A new ghost messenger, unfamiliar with the job, is bound to take the wrong soul."

"Although it won't actually lure people away, it's inevitable that they'll keep getting lured by the wrong person, which will add trouble to your lives."

Tan Ci was about to say something.

As if she had already guessed what she was thinking, Song Lan smiled and predicted in advance: "Even if Madam Tan takes her daughter to live in seclusion in the mountains, there will still be other ghost messengers."

“Miss Su’s situation is special. She was already past her prime. Now, it’s just returning her to her rightful owner, giving back the lifespan that originally belonged to her.”

"But with this kind of thing, the problem isn't anything else, it's the lack of timely information. The underworld may know, but the ghost messengers responsible for handling things below might not know in time. If they take the person away and then send them back down for verification, that back and forth..."

Song Lan paused, "I suppose Madam Tan has also heard that a day in heaven is equivalent to a year on earth."

"The way of calculating time is different in heaven and on earth."

Similarly, there is a time difference between the human world and the underworld.

"Moreover, the time difference between the human world and the underworld is even more exaggerated than that between heaven and the human world."

"When the time comes, when Miss Su's soul is taken to the underworld, it may seem like it won't be long, but you, waiting in the mortal world, will most likely have to guard her corpse for three to five days, or even longer!"

"If they come back quickly, that's fine, but if it takes three or five years..."

Just listening to it made Tanci feel scared.

"Not to mention, Madam Tan also plans to take her people and flee far away. Since the emperor is far away, I'm afraid it will take a lot of time for the underworld officials to ask for permission from higher levels."

"At that time, will Madam Tan be able to endure the pain of separation from her daughter again, spending every moment waiting for her daughter to wake up?"

Tan Ci was immediately frightened.

She thought back to every day and night that had passed, each one feeling like an eternity. "Then...is there really no solution?"

Tan Ci was so anxious that she paced back and forth like an ant on a hot pan.

Song Lan raised an eyebrow. The fish has taken the bait!
She flashed a triumphant smile, which vanished in an instant.

He quickly regained his cold and serious expression and said calmly, "That's why I said there's something I need Lord Su to do?"

"I?"

Su Wenheng had been listening quietly to what Song Lan was saying, things he used to find absurd.

Being called out so suddenly left me a little stunned.

Tan Ci immediately showed her disdain, glared at him, and then looked at Song Lan: "Does it have to be him who does it? Can't I do it instead?"

Song Lan glanced at Tan Ci, then at Su Wenheng.

Suddenly, he changed his mind and said, "This matter cannot be resolved by Lord Su alone, nor can it be accomplished by Madam Tan alone."

"It will require the two of you to work together seamlessly."

Tan Ci's expression immediately turned sour.

She glared at Su Wenheng with disdain, her mouth moved as if she wanted to scold him, but after a few moments of hesitation, she swallowed the words back down.

For the sake of my daughter's future, I'll have to endure it for now.

"What exactly happened?"

Tan Ci turned to Song Lan: "Please take the trouble to give me your guidance!"

Song Lan smiled and said, "Madam Tan and Lord Su should both be aware of what has happened to the Zhang family recently, right?"
