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

Chapter 372 Regret cannot be made up for, let alone hatred.

Was the resentment that Song Lan just extracted to fight against the Heavenly Dao because she killed all the residents in this area?

Those who can generate resentment strong enough to defy the will of Heaven will likely not have an easy time in their deaths.

Yan Jun was preoccupied with worries.

He wanted to talk to Song Lan, but the burning and increasingly intense pain on his face made him afraid to speak rashly.

If Song Lan said she would slap him, she definitely wasn't joking.

She never showed him any pity, and even in bed, she only cared about her own pleasure.

Thinking about all this, Yan Jun felt even more aggrieved.

He covered his face and followed Song Lan step by step.

Ouch.

The little dog that Song Lan was supposed to save struggled weakly a few times amidst a pile of scraps of meat, letting out a painful cry.

Yan Jun looked at Song Lan's retreating figure, feeling hesitant.

Save?

Should we still try to save them?

He hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't get past his conscience. He quickly picked up the puppy and put it in his pocket.

Then he jogged and caught up with Song Lan again, following closely behind.

Song Lan frowned, her gaze sweeping over the man's bulging arms, her mood somber.

Of course she remembered the puppy.

Same colors, same scene... just in a different place, but the same fate.

In her past life, she also encountered a puppy like this, surrounded by several men and kicked around like a ball.

She felt sorry for them and told them to stop.

Of course, I was inevitably subjected to their verbal humiliation, but I didn't take it to heart.

But she had too many guards with her.

After beating up the men and breaking one of their legs, she took the puppy away and cared for it carefully.

The little guy is so cute.

In just a few months, it has lost its pitiful appearance and started to become chubby and adorable.

Later, she raised the little guy for three years.

The little dog, which was originally the size of a palm, has grown into a big dog, and when it stands up, it is almost as tall as her.

At that time, she was about to get married.

She married into the Zhang family.

At that time, she didn't know what the future would hold, and her heart was full of anticipation for the future.

later……

Ah!
Her dog was extremely protective of its owner; it would always retaliate if it saw her being bullied.

They might even be quite clever, secretly retaliating in return.

But how could a cat or dog possibly understand the wickedness of the human heart?

It was only later, from Zhang Chi, that Song Lan learned that her little dog had overheard those people plotting to imprison her and torture her to death.

Her puppy wanted to save her.

But she was stupid and dull-witted, unable to understand the puppy's words, even though the puppy had already led her away from the Zhang family.

She thought the puppy just wanted to go out and play.

After playing enough, they took the puppy back to the Zhang family's house.

The puppy probably doesn't understand either!

I don't know why, but she still wants to take it back with her.

But the puppy was fearless and followed her back without hesitation.

Even knowing that the road ahead was a dead end, the puppy never thought of abandoning her and escaping alone.

The puppy was willing to risk its life for her.

She was slow-witted, she was incompetent, she failed to protect the puppy...

At that time, she did not know that her puppy had died.

She was in purgatory, imprisoned by the Zhang family, and subjected to their humiliation and torture.

But she always felt that her puppy was so smart that it would definitely be able to escape.

She escaped to a very, very far place, living a very, very good life, somewhere she didn't know.

But why would a puppy want to leave its owner?

No matter how nice a place is, it's not what a puppy wants without its owner.

It wasn't until Zhang Chi revealed the truth, explaining how they had painstakingly chopped off the puppy's paws and legs, piece by piece...

Her little dog never once considered leaving her side until its death.

Even knowing that death was inevitable, they still stayed without hesitation.

Ah!
The people in the underworld lived in constant fear, worried that the lingering resentment in her heart would turn into karmic fire and burn everything in this world to ashes.

But how could it be?

She will never have that puppy again...

Even though she was reborn, they met again in this world.

But in the end, this life is not the same as the previous one.

If she could, Song Lan would not want to be reborn...

So what if she killed the Xie family, the Zhang family, and everyone who had wronged her?

What has already happened, has already happened.

Irreversible, indelible.

The wounds etched in your heart are already there; no matter how many times you try to smooth them over, it will be of no use.

It's all in vain.

Yan Jun was unaware of Song Lan's thoughts; he only felt disappointed.

Song Lan doesn't want him anymore.

He rested his hand on the bulging bag in his arms, looking dejected.
-
The Zhang family's haunted house.

It's only been a while since I last visited, but the dust on the door looks like it's been over a hundred years.

"girl!"

Just as Song Lan was about to push the door open and go in, a woman suddenly ran out and called out to her.

"That house is unclean, we can't go in!"

The woman looked Song Lan up and down for a moment. She saw that he was clean and tidy. Although she could not tell that he was rich, his demeanor did not seem like that of a child from a poor family.

She asked tentatively, "Did you have a fight with your family, young lady?"

Judging from Song Lan's appearance, although she didn't have a married woman's hairstyle, she looked like she was already married.

She couldn't help but guess that the newlyweds had quarreled, and the girl was upset!
Perhaps she married into the family from afar and is now homeless.

With that thought in mind, the woman warmly invited Song Lan: "Young lady, come and sit in my room! My husband has gone out to work and won't be back for a while."

"Come in and rest your feet, have something to eat."

After saying that, seemingly worried that she might scare Song Lan, she changed her mind and said, "Why don't you sit here at the door for a while? That way you can see everyone coming and going. I'll go to the alley next door and buy you some sweet cakes!"

She didn't say anything more and told Song Lan to eat her own food.

Song Lan blinked, seemingly a little puzzled by the woman's excessive enthusiasm. "Anyway, you absolutely cannot go in here! Just look at the dust on the gate and the cobwebs on the lanterns, and you'll know how abnormal this place is!"

"This house has only been abandoned for a little over half a month, but it looks like a haunted house that has been abandoned for a hundred years! Especially since the house lights up by itself at night!"

"But it's scary!"

The woman sighed, "I'm just unlucky. I bought this place because I was greedy for a bargain, and now I've lost most of my life savings. I can't even leave now."

She and her husband saved up for most of their lives and finally managed to afford this house.

At first, she thought she had gotten a great deal, since the location was so good and the price was so cheap.

Little did I know that I was living next to such a haunted house.

"I've heard before that this house has been the site of trouble."

"But hearing about it is not as good as seeing it in person; what you hear from others is never as unforgettable as what you experience yourself."

Song Lan raised an eyebrow: "Judging from what you're saying, sister-in-law, have you seen any unclean things in this house? Are those things so bold that they dare to come out and scare people in broad daylight?"

The woman's expression immediately changed, and she looked around suspiciously and warily.

"...Girl, you mustn't say that! If some unclean thing inside hears this, it might haunt you, and that would be terrible!"

Song Lan showed no fear whatsoever; on the contrary, she seemed quite interested.

The woman hesitated for a moment: "That day, my husband and I heard some noises in the neighbor's yard, but we were too scared to go out and see what was going on, even though we heard the noises."

"The next morning when I went out to get some water, I saw that the house next door had become even more desolate."

"I did pay attention to it when I first moved in."

"I know what the door looks like. The door gods and lanterns on that door were incredibly bright and vibrant at the very beginning."

"But after that day, I suddenly achieved a lot."

"It's as if this house wasn't recently abandoned, but rather has been weathered by wind and rain for decades or even centuries."

"Also, today I was in the yard and I heard voices coming from next door."

"What sir? The Xue family?"

The woman said a couple of words and then quickly covered her ears: "It was terrifying! I heard two sounds and immediately stopped listening."

“I was terrified that the neighbors would find out and that if I heard them talking, they would come and kill me to silence me.”

Song Lan raised an eyebrow: "Then... sister-in-law, aren't you worried that I'll kill you to silence you after telling you all this?"

Woman: ...

Her voice stopped abruptly, and then she turned deathly pale with fright, her lips trembling, unable to utter a word.

Song Lan looked at her for a while, then chuckled and reached out to pat the woman's shoulder: "Sister-in-law, don't be afraid, I was just joking."

"As my sister-in-law just said, she also heard people talking next door in the yard today."

"But around 9 AM?"

The woman was already too frightened to speak, and could only nod her head upon hearing the sound.

Song Lan raised an eyebrow.

Around 9 AM, the evil spirit inside Xue Wan's body couldn't resist the intense sunlight and was devoured by Xue Wan, its vessel.

Tsk... saying it was a backlash from the container isn't quite right either.

However, she hadn't thought about it in that way before.

Now, after hearing the woman's words, it became clear that Xue Wan's brazen act of devouring souls in the street was due to orders from someone behind her.

They would rather expose her than destroy Xue Wan's vessel directly.

It was all for the purpose of reaping the souls of those who had made deals with him.

To avoid being discovered and having the deal with him cut off.

It seems the other person isn't having an easy time either.

That's why they're so eager to devour a large number of souls.

Therefore, the soul hidden inside Wu Lao Er's body must be part of the person behind the scenes.

Because that soul was annihilated, the person behind it all now desperately wants to replenish their energy.

"Sister-in-law, you can rest assured, I am not a bad person."

Song Lan smiled kindly.

Woman: ...

The way you are now, I can't be nice to you at all!
"I've come to vanquish demons and monsters!"

"Don't worry, sister-in-law, soon the filth in here will no longer affect your lives."

"Buying a house here won't be a loss; it'll be a profit!"

The woman subconsciously said, "If it's really profitable, more people will come soon and try every means to drive me away."

"The destruction of one's family and the loss of one's loved ones might be the least of one's worries."

Song Lan was slightly taken aback, and after a while she smiled and said, "Sister-in-law is very insightful."

But what's the use of being transparent?
That's how the world is. It's easy to see things clearly, but when it comes to making choices, it's not so easy to let go.

How can I let go of it?
Even if they knew that this place wasn't an inauspicious place, they would never have been in this situation. They had worked hard and saved up money for most of their lives. Once they knew that this place had really returned to normal, there would definitely be people eyeing their house, seeing it as a piece of fat meat, just waiting to take it all away without leaving a single scrap.

What can I do?
Do you really think you can just run away?

Where will they run off to next?

They've spent most of their life savings here, and now they're still struggling to make ends meet, earning every penny they can. Where can they possibly go?
Not to mention, even if you run away, how can you guarantee that you won't encounter the same thing in the next place?
The woman gave a bitter smile and let out a long sigh.

"I don't expect anything now. If I can really get rid of the evil spirits in this place and restore a peaceful life for my family, that would be good."

"However, if in the future a benefactor takes a liking to this place because the evil spirits have been exorcised, I hope that he is a benefactor with a conscience who is willing to compensate us with some money. Even if we can't get back the money we spent on the house and land, at least we can get back 70 or 80% so that our family can have a place to live in the future."

"I hope it's not the case that they only give me two pounds of coarse noodles and then expect my whole family to move away."

As the woman spoke, she smiled bitterly, as if she had already experienced it herself: "So be it, everything is fate, and there's nothing we can do about it."

"What noble person would have a heart and soul?"

Song Lan didn't understand why she was so pessimistic, but she didn't say anything more.

Pushing open the door of the Zhang family's haunted house, a smell of dust greeted you.

It's as if this place has truly been sealed off for a long time.

In just over a month, the house had become so dilapidated; no wonder the people living nearby were so reluctant to talk about it.

Anyone who sees this scene would inevitably feel afraid.

"you……"

Yan Jun followed Song Lan and was somewhat frightened when he saw the current state of the Zhang family's haunted house.

"This is?"

In just over a month, how did this place become like this?

A sense of panic gradually arose in his heart.

Perhaps Song Lan didn't know why this place had become the Zhang family's haunted house...

After all, this place had never appeared in Song Lan's memories of her previous life.

No, that's not quite right. To be precise, this is the place where Song Lan harbored the deepest resentment in her past life.

But it definitely didn't appear in Song Lan's memory in this form.

All of this began with their ability to give Song Lan a second life.

"This place looks strange, let's not go in."

Seeing that Song Lan was about to walk inside, Yan Jun subconsciously spoke up to stop her.

Song Lan scoffed, "I've been to this Zhang family haunted house more than once. Isn't it a bit too late for you to speak up and stop me now?"
