The Heiress Acts Mischievously, But Her Family Can Read Her Mind novel Chapter 311

Chapter 311: Chapter 311: Recognizing Relatives

Hearing this,

Jiang Nanshu’s heart still ached.

She was always too late, unable to save Zhou Yanxu’s fate.

In both worlds, it was a massive fire.

Yet in her heart, she firmly believed that Zhou Yanxu hadn’t died, that he must be living well somewhere in the world.

Jiang Nanshu pursed her lips and also showed sympathy, "That’s really too bad, he was very young, wasn’t he?"

"Yes, he was only 29 when he died, not even married, let alone having children. It’s such a shame." The maid’s words poured out like a broken dam—everyone likes gossip, and she couldn’t resist revealing more to Jiang Nanshu: "The burnt house is just behind this villa. They say the fire raged for three days, and by the time they got it under control, the former Family Head was burnt to ashes, not even a corpse was left behind."

Jiang Nanshu looked at the maid, her heart rate accelerating, "You’re saying not even his body was left?"

"Mm-hmm, so there are rumors that there are haunting occurrences behind here, it’s gotten to the point where we’re all too scared to go, and some servants have even said that when they passed by there at night, they saw will-o’-the-wisps amidst the burnt ruins!" The maid’s voice lowered, fitting the vast surroundings with an eerie feel.

"Really? Is it that mysterious?" Jiang Nanshu feigned surprise.

The maid nodded gravely, "It’s true, they saw it with their own eyes. If it weren’t for fear, the person who saw it would have taken a photo to show us."

Jiang Nanshu was not afraid of ghosts.

If one were to say they truly existed.

Then that ghost could only be her.

Reincarnating into someone else’s body was always going to sound mysterious.

And no one would believe it.

"Then can you take me to see it? I’m a bit curious."

The maid looked terrified, "No, no, you can’t go. Ever since the ghost sightings were rumored, Mr. Zhou forbade anyone from going there. It’s been sealed off, and now the place is probably overgrown with weeds and is very gloomy. If you go, you’ll have nightmares, young lady."

Jiang Nanshu sighed, "Alright, I was thinking of having an adventure, but since it’s off-limits, I won’t go."

"Do you have a picture of him? I’d like to see it."

The maid continued to shake her head, "No... the fire burnt everything, not a single photo of him was left behind. If there is one... it would be on his gravestone."

After a while, Jiang Nanshu asked,

"Where is he buried?"

The maid truthfully replied, "In the graveyard in Western Suburb, the place is a bit out of the way."

"Okay, I got it, thank you. I don’t want to wander anymore, let’s go back," Jiang Nanshu said to her with a smile.

The maid led Jiang Nanshu back the way they came.

It just so happened that Zhou Zhenghui came back at this moment.

He was holding the hand of a middle-aged woman with half-gray hair, who, in contrast to him, was still somewhat presentable and not as worn down as he.

"Zhenghui, where’s our daughter? Did you really find her? Are you lying to me?" the woman asked with a trembling voice.

Zhou Zhenghui felt very uncomfortable, but seeing the hopeful light in his wife’s eyes, he forced a smile, "Yueru, it’s true, I’ve found her, I would never lie to you, our daughter has come back."

He pointed to Jiang Leyi, who was standing up anxiously not far away, and said to Liu Yueru, "Look, that’s her, her name is Le Yi, she is our daughter."

Liu Yueru’s gaze instantly fixed, she blankly stared at Jiang Leyi for a moment, then tears streamed down, "She’s really back... really."

She broke free from Zhou Zhenghui’s hand and stumbled toward Jiang Leyi, "Niao Niao, wu wu wu, my Niao Niao, Mommy missed you so much."

She hugged Jiang Leyi tightly, crying so hard that she could hardly catch her breath.

Jiang Leyi looked towards Zhou Zhenghui in a bit of a panic.

Seeing that he too looked pained, he nodded at her, signaling her to keep playing the part. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
