665 The thing that was still haunting the Nian family

---------------

Song Yan was not lying when she said that, before she met with Old madam Yan, some woman from the army district instead stopped her and sang praises of Chen Chu Chu. They told her that the latter was a really virtuous woman, even though she was obsessed with her looks, she often helped out in the orphanage and would bring young girls from the streets who had nowhere to go and take shelter.

It was only when Old madam Yan arrived did they stop telling Song Yan just how good of a woman Chen Chu Chu really was.

At that moment, Old madam Yan who heard Song Yan's words couldn't care less about Fu Chen who was already dozing off in his mother's lap. She who knew the world had to stop Song Yan from getting involved with Chen Chu Chu, this was the only thing that she could care about! She immediately leaned forward and shook her head seriously, " Yan Yan, you need to stay away from that woman and you need to make sure that your elder brother-in-law stays away from her too. Did she tell you that she and Shu Chang have nothing to do with each other? She is lying to you. I am telling you, the two of them spend night after night in the research lab, and no one knows what they do while being locked in there. .. I am not saying that your brother-in-law might be involved in something messy with her but you are getting what I am saying right?"

" Anyway, you need to stop your foolish brother-in-law while you still have time. You have no idea how much of an ill star that woman is, even though her fiancé ran away the one who suffered the most was none other than that man's family. The Old Nian family was so happy that they lived a life of comfort and glory but the second their son fell for that Chen Chu Chu bad things started to happen to their family. First, it was Old Nian's wife who broke her legs in an accident and then his son ran away leaving behind his awards and merits causing the Nian family to become a joke in the military district."

" What's more the two daughters of the Nian family …do you know how horribly they died? Now they are only left with a son and that too because they invited a celestial master and made a shrine in their house or else ——, I heard from Old Nian's wife that even her son was going to be killed."

Old madam Yan was not a superstitious woman but the incident with the Nian family really left her in bewilderment. A few months ago when she went to see Old Nian's wife, she heard from the poor woman that something was haunting her house. Even the neighbours who lived next to the Old Nian family agreed with them, they all said to her that something lurked around the house of the Old Nian family at full moon. It looked like a man but at the same time it would sometimes look like a woman, and on some nights it will look like an animal either a snake or leopard or even a spider—— every full moon something strange would come to stand underneath the window of the Old Nian's son's room and stay there the whole night!

The story was so terrible that Old madam Yan who was not a superstitious woman felt like goosebumps were going to break out all over her body but she still thought that it was nothing most probably just a local story to keep tourists interested since the village where the Old Nian lived was a small place in the mountains with no resources.

But to her misfortune, the day when she was visiting the Old Nian family was the day when the moon was on the rise. That night Old madam Yan could not sleep because of the story that she heard from the residents and felt like she was getting suffocated which was why she draped on a shawl and went out of her room into the balcony to get some fresh air.

That night the sky was adorned with the full moon, cold winds were rustling in the mountains and it was a beautiful night but Old madam Yan could not enjoy these things because the second she walked out onto the balcony, she saw a horrible sight! On the other side of the brick wall that was built around the Old Nian house stood a figure in cloak… because the figure was hidden in the shadows she could not see that thing's face but she did see the old Nian's young son walking out of the house as if he was in a daze, his eyes as black as that of an animal!

If not for the shrine that was built in front of the house gate, the young boy would have left the house long ago and gotten killed!

The sight was so horrible that she let out a scream causing whatever black magic the thing cast on it to be broken. Her scream caused the thing to run away and the young boy to be slumped on the ground ever since then the Old Nian couple started to tie their son to the bed before going to sleep.

She heard from Old Nian's wife that her son struggled to get out of bed on full moon nights and would even growl and howl like a beast on certain nights.

Wasn't it after their family got entangled with that girl, Chen Chu Chu? No matter what the others said, Old madam Yan still firmly believed that this thing got attached to the Old Nian family because of that Chen Chu Chu!

Old madam Yan raised Fu Shu Chang and his brothers like her own sons, more importantly, Old master Fu was like a brother to her, she did not want the Fu family to become like the Nian family, being haunted by a monster till the last of their generation died! She also had a very strong feeling that Chen Chu Chu was not as harmless and gentle as she appeared in front of others—— in fact, she was sure that Chen Chu Chu was the one who was guiding that thing from behind if not then she must have some relationship with that thing that was haunting the Old Nian family even now.

If her suspicions were incorrect then she was willing to kowtow and ask for forgiveness from that Chen woman.
