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

Chapter 282 A woman's infatuation is unspeakable.

But since Song Lan asked that question, it means that it is indeed true!

So what exactly happened?
Surely it's not that someone in the middle of this was outwardly compliant but inwardly defying orders from above, arbitrarily altering superiors' commands, or secretly committing murder?
Don't die?

Putting aside the punishment for recklessly summoning souls... being reduced to ashes would likely be the least of one's worries.

The worst thing is that if the cause and effect are disrupted, then one will be unable to live or die!

Cui Jue's expression turned serious as he looked at Liu Yueniang.

He spoke as politely as possible: "Liu Yueniang, please tell me in detail what exactly happened?"

"Who sent you to retrieve souls?"

"Furthermore! You're a newly appointed ghost officer. Although the Underworld has given you a formal position, you're currently doing the work of an intern ghost officer. And what you should be learning first is cultivating ghost power!"

Cui Jue's expression gradually turned serious: "If we don't even have the ghostly power to restrain wandering spirits, what if we encounter vengeful ghosts or evil spirits on the way to collect souls, and accidentally lose our own souls, causing the deceased's souls to be devoured and vanish into nothingness?"

"At the very least, you should have the ability to run away and save your own life!"

Liu Yueniang blushed with embarrassment after being scolded, and looked at Song Lan with some helplessness.

Logically speaking, Cui Jue is now her superior, and the superior's superior.

That's not the case. As ordinary new souls, they are not afraid of the judge.

But every word Cui Jue said seemed to be for her benefit.

It was a suggestion to her.

Liu Yueniang was not a woman who could stand on her own before.

Before marriage, she lived a secluded life in her boudoir.

Her family was large, and she was neither the eldest nor the youngest, often being the one who was overlooked.

They had never learned how to manage a household.

She was forced into an arranged marriage by her family, and her marriage to Zhang Youguang was preordained.

After getting married, she only thought of him as an ordinary, ambitious, and hardworking minor official.

She was eager to learn how to manage household affairs and wanted to help her husband as much as she could. But Zhang Youguang refused, saying that he had married her not so that she would have to work hard at housework. All she needed to do was stay at home, be a wealthy official's wife, eat well, dress well, and live a comfortable and carefree life, like a delicate flower, living peacefully in a greenhouse and blooming at her most beautiful moment. That would be enough for her.

At that time, Liu Yueniang thought that she had finally overcome all her suffering.

Although at home, he is often ignored by his family.

Nobody cared about her feelings.

Now that she's married, she's someone who cherishes her.

She had always heard that a woman's marriage is like a second reincarnation.

She used to scoff at it, but now she truly believes it.

And then...

They believed it even more.

After three years of service away from home, Zhang Youguang had accumulated enough experience and, with the help of his wife's family, successfully transferred back to the capital.

However, Zhang Youguang, her husband, the one she thought was a proper marriage, the one she thought involved proper betrothal and marriage arrangements... it was all a lie.

Her husband, Zhang Youguang, had already married and had children before he was sent to work in another region.

His wife's family was the renowned Cui clan of Qinghe.

She was pampered and raised like a delicate flower in the inner quarters, but was suddenly abandoned and found to be completely helpless.

Even getting enough to eat is a problem.

Not to mention social interactions and interpersonal relationships.

If it weren't for raising her eldest son, she wouldn't have had the courage to continue living.

Later, he could only barely make ends meet by relying on the needlework he did well while he was still young.

But when socializing with others, she always felt flustered and didn't know how to behave.

Now, naturally, he doesn't know how to respond to Cui Jue's words, which seem like well-intentioned advice but also like harsh criticism.
