A ghost?

"Ghost..... you!!!! you are dead. How could you be alive?" Jiang Muxun mumbled and took a step back. Her face was full of fear at this moment. The smile on Amelia's face seemed like a devil's smile to her. She couldn't help but clench her handkerchief, her nails digging into her palms and her feet were shivering in fear. "No... you are a ghost!!! You are a ghost!!!" she whispered and took another step back.

Amelia blinked her eyes innocently. "A ghost? Elder Sister, are you talking about me? Are you not happy to see me..... alive?"

Shen Xiaozhang narrowed his eyes. He looked at Jiang Yuyu and his eyes deepened. For some reason, he felt as though there was something different about her. Jiang Yuyu seemed weird. He couldn't exactly pinpoint where she was different, but he knew she was different. It was as though something had changed on the inside of her. But what?

He was observing her from the moment she entered in the hall. At first, he thought she would act like her old stupid self, cry and make trouble. But, she proved him wrong. Instead of complaining, she was confronting. Instead of blaming, she was smiling. Why? Why did she look so calm? The way she walked in, the way she was smiling, the way her eyes moved beautifully yet there was that charm, that seductiveness that he had never seen before.

She captivated him the moment she walked in. His eyes couldn't help but fall on her beautiful eyes, her charming smile. She looked the same, then was he getting so attracted to her. Shen Xiaozhang couldn't help but think more about it. And, this is the reason why he spoke out for her. But, to his surprise, she ignored him. She didn't pay any attention to him nor she gave him any glance. Why?

If it was before, then the moment he took her name, she would be sticking to him like glue. Then what changed? Is she angry because of today's incident? Why did she ignore him? Or was he thinking too much?

Yeah, maybe he is. Shen Xiaozhang snorted in his heart. How could this woman ever change? She was still the same ugly, clingy, stupid woman. He just needs to speak one word to this woman, and she would be running behind him while calling him 'Brother Shen', 'Brother Shen.'

Humph!!!

However, right now, he had no time to think about Jiang Yuyu's weird behavior. He needed to get this situation under control. He needed to tactfully handle the situation; so that he will not fall out of General Jiang's favor. He cannot let Jiang Yuyu implicate him and Jiang Muxun. At the same time, he couldn't help but cast a displeased look at Jiang Muxun.

What happened to her?

Usually, she is very smart and can handle everything perfectly. But, right now, she was making everything worse. However, she was still his woman and that's why he stepped forward to help her. "Muxun, what are you saying? Since when did your sister turn into a ghost? Jiang Yuyu is back. Aren't you happy?"

Jiang Muxun blinked her eyes and looked at Shen Xiaozhang. Only after seeing his serious expression, she realized her mistakes. Her hands clutched the handkerchief tightly, and her face paled. Shit!!!! What did she do? She almost lost her composure in front of everybody. Now, wouldn't everyone get suspicious of her?

Dammit it!!!

It was all this bitch's fault. She couldn't help but glare at Jiang Yuyu. Why? Why was this bitch so lucky? Why didn't she die in that Mystical Forest? Why did her flawless plan fail? Her heart was burning in anger. But on her face, she quickly composed herself and put on a sincere smile. "Yuyu, it's good that you are okay. Thank God, you are fine. We were so worried about you."

"Really?"

Jiang Muxun nodded. "Elder Sister cares about you the most."

Amelia chuckled, "But Elder sister when I entered the hall, why did you call me a ghost? I know I am not as beautiful as Elder Sister, but I am not that ugly to be called a ghost? Or is it that you already knew that I was dead and that's why, you were surprised to see me alive?"

Jiang Muxun's heart thundered and her eyes went wide in horror. She bit her tongue and looked at Jiang Yuyu carefully. When did her silly sister turn so sharp? Was it the same Jiang Yuyu who was fooled by her every word? Jiang Yuyu never talked to her like this. What happened?

She pursed her lips slightly and was about to reply when suddenly, Shen Xiaozhang spoke for her again. "Jiang Yuyu, how can you ask doubt Muxun's intention? She is your elder sister, and she was worried about you. Do you know how much she was crying for you? Maybe that's why she spoke such words because she was shocked to see you."

Hearing his words, Jiang Muxun felt good. Her heart began to bloom with love. She couldn't help but glance at Jiang Yuyu pridefully. Look, so what if you are Brother Shen's fiancé? He only cares about me. He only loved me. Look, how he is speaking up for me.

"Brother Shen is right," Jiang Muxun agreed. "Yuyu, I was simply shocked and that's why I said those things."

"Oh," Amelia nodded lazily.

"Yuyu, come here." Suddenly, a powerful and authoritative voice interrupted their banter. Everyone turned to look at General Jiang who was now seated back in his place. His face didn't look so worried anymore however, his gaze was still extremely sharp as he looked at Jiang Yuyu carefully.

Amelia looked back at him. So this General Jiang, the amazing, loving, doting father of the original soul?

Looking at him, now she understood, why her mother choose to be this man's concubine. This General looked extremely handsome. He had that tall, muscular body with sharp and manly features. On top of it, the scars on his face and body added to his beauty. They were the signs of the battle that he had fought. Amelia could feel a tremendous source of pressure coming from him. However, it didn't faze her a single bit.
