Having transmigrated into a book, who would still want to be a secondary wife?

Chapter 1017 The Reason for the Fire

Looking at the weak soul before her, Song Ruozhen realized that this guy was trapped in this world by his obsession. He should have been reincarnated long ago, but he had dragged it out until now, and his soul was almost broken.

Possession was to stabilize her soul; otherwise, it would have been scattered by now.

"Ruozhen, could it be that she wants to see General Li?" Meng Qin asked.

Now that we know the woman's identity, and since General Li is still alive, it's not hard to guess what this female ghost wants to do.

Song Ruozhen nodded slightly, "Since you say that General Li has not yet married, then the person in his heart must be this young lady."

Why not send someone to General Li's residence to inquire? Perhaps he would also like to see you.

If General Li had already married and had children, then there would obviously be no need to see her again, but it is clear that General Li has always been thinking about her.

Now that things have come to this point, any meeting would be the last. From their perspective, they would probably all be willing to accept it.

Chu Junting understood immediately and said, "I will send someone to General Li's residence right away."

As Yunyang rushed to General Li's residence, the people inside were also looking forward to their meeting.

"Your Majesty is truly remarkable. Normally, I would be terrified if I encountered such a situation, but now that I'm in a room with a ghost, I'm not so panicked because of your presence."

King Yang couldn't help but chuckle. Who would have thought that one day he would be sharing a room with a ghost?

Meng's mother and Meng Qin exchanged a glance. Not only had Prince Yang been staying in the same room with a ghost, but recently the ghost had been staying on him all the time.

However, it was fine before I didn't know, but now that I do, the feeling is naturally different.

"General Li has not married all these years. I have heard many rumors that it is because General Li was injured on the battlefield and could no longer perform sexual acts, so he has not married."

Prince Yang carefully considered the rumors he had heard before. The matter had been widely discussed, and many people felt sorry for General Li.

However, some people say that these are just rumors. Anyway, there are all kinds of rumors, and no one knows which one is true.

"In my opinion, General Li is quite frank."

If that's true, then he didn't delay the other girls, which is a great act of kindness.

If it's not true, then it must be because he's thinking of his beloved, which is even more admirable. The only pity is that this beautiful relationship didn't have a happy ending.

Meng Qin's expression revealed admiration; this was the kind of person she admired most!

Going to the battlefield was a noble cause, and he always had his beloved in his heart. Unfortunately, fate was cruel. If it weren't for that fire, they might have been able to rekindle their romance.

The people inside nodded. Based on what they knew so far, it was indeed a rather regrettable situation for the couple.

"How could a fire have suddenly broken out when everything was fine?"

Prince Yang frowned. "The news of General Li's death had already reached us long ago. Even if you had a grudge against General Li, there was no need to target a young woman, was there?"

He didn't dwell on the fact that he was possessed by a female ghost, even though he felt quite aggrieved that he had been feeling unwell for so long.

But now, thinking about how he had taken over someone else's house, he felt unlucky, especially since the female ghost seemed to be in a pretty bad situation too.

Since the Empress Dowager said that her health condition is treatable, then there is hope.

Song Ruozhen naturally noticed the problem as well, which was quite strange. "Even if the news that General Li sent back was that he died on the battlefield, since this young lady lived in the mansion, it was impossible for her to be the only person in the entire mansion."

A huge fire broke out, yet she was the only one who died. Isn't that strange?

The crowd exchanged bewildered glances. This was not just strange, it was extremely strange!

It's likely that someone deliberately framed her and wanted her dead, so they chose the perfect moment to burn her the only one alive.

"Ruozhen, why don't you ask this female ghost if she knows anything?" Meng Qin asked curiously.

Song Ruozhen noticed that the female ghost's soul was dull in color, clearly indicating that she had been trapped for many years without any energy to nourish her, resulting in her memories being fragmented.

If they hadn't happened to be talking about these things, this female ghost probably wouldn't have been able to figure out who she was or why she was staying here.

I only know that I am waiting for someone, but I don't know who I am waiting for.

She had seen many ghosts, so she could understand the situation at a glance.

Normally, people go directly to be reincarnated after they die. Evil spirits usually die unjustly and carry extremely strong malevolent energy and resentment. They can absorb similar energy from their surroundings to become stronger and also have the ability to harm people.

Another type is controlled by those with ulterior motives, who refine it for their own use through certain energies; this is commonly known as raising a ghost child.

The female ghost before them didn't possess deep-seated malevolence or hatred; she simply carried a kind of obsession.

Because this obsession was so deep, it remained in her mind, so even after death, she kept remembering what she hadn't accomplished, and thus she couldn't be reincarnated smoothly.

As for why it possessed Prince Yang, that was also a matter of chance.

"Never mind, let's ask General Li when he arrives."

You can't just listen to one side of the story, not even the ghost's side.

……

General Li was surprised to learn that His Highness the Crown Prince had invited him to the Prince Yang's residence.

I have no contact with His Highness Prince Yang, so why would the Crown Prince invite me to Prince Yang's residence?

"Didn't His Highness the Crown Prince say anything?"

"General Li, there's no need to worry. You'll find out when you get there."

"Yes."

General Li had no time to think and quickly got into his carriage to head to the Prince Yang's residence.

But when he arrived at the Prince Yang's Mansion and looked at the familiar yet somewhat changed streets, he couldn't help but feel a little melancholy.

This was where he lived when he first distinguished himself in battle and established himself in the capital.

Back then, he was a spirited young man. Because he was born in the countryside and his family was poor, even though he had a childhood sweetheart, he couldn't give her a stable life.

Later, when he went to serve in the army, his Wan'er stayed in the village waiting for him.

Just when he finally achieved military merit and happily brought her to the capital, thinking that they could finally get married, fate had other plans.

He had no choice but to fake his death on the battlefield, thinking that even if Wan'er got married, he would take good care of her when he came back, even if it was just as good as being her brother.

Who would have thought that upon returning, he would learn of Wan'er's death.

He was burned alive in his own house.

Even during the three years he was away, she was buried in a mound of earth, without even a tombstone...

This was the greatest pain of his life.

Later, he took Wan'er's body back and had a new tombstone erected in her honor, commemorating the wife he loved most in his life.

After that, even though he was in the capital, he rarely came here again, because it was a place of unspeakable pain for him.
