"Then go and change your cloths. And if your teacher gave you homework, please do it too!! Okay!! Mommy and daddy will be in the room!!" Zan Tengfei looked at Chang Mingxia.

"Come Young miss Zan!! We should get changed!!" And wait for the big spectacle!! And for the change.... She then looked at the retreating figures of Zan Tengfei and Bo Ehuang.

Zan Tengfei and Bo Ehuang reached their room. He was walking in the front. "What happened today Bo Ehuang?" He turned and looked into his wife.

"Zan Tengfei!! If I say something, would you believe me?" Bo Ehuang asked.

"I will always hear your side of the story Bo Ehuang.... And somethings... If it's worth believing, I would definitely believe it!!" He said matter of factly. "And Bo Ehuang....!" He moved near her and grabbed her hand. "I will be always with you...!!" He whispered in her ear.

She looked at her husband's face. He would believe me if I tell what I found!! She got some assurance.

"Zan Tengfei!! Please hear what I want to say. Today, I went to our back garden to simply take a stroll and check the area under our window. Because some nights before I saw a personal standing there..... When I was standing there, I saw someone looking at me from our room!!"

"What!! Did you say someone was in our room... Looking at you?!" Zan Tengfei interjected.

"Yes Zan Tengfei!! I saw someone!! Can you believe it?! So I ran back inside to catch that person.... But when I reached the room, there was no one there!! Only a message written in the mirror!! Die!!" She pointed at the mirror.

Zan Tengfei came and inspected the mirror closely.

"It was in red lipstick. And I thought it was a physical evidence. So I ran back and called some servants for them to witness it!! But it was a foolish thing to do!!" She looked down. "When we got back, ther was no message.... And I panicked and behaved like a hysteric women..." She sighed.

"All the people who thought I may be some what sane, would have really acknowledged as a mad women!!" She laughed. "So I excused myself and left to sit in my study room. From there, I decided to find the person who is tormenting me, and why!!"

"So... What did you find?" He asked.

"The culprit definitely wanted to make me look like a mental patient.... A mad women...!! You see... Every time when the person visible, the culprit is only visible to me... Not the others. So when I asked did you see, the person with me says no I don't. If it becomes a continuous occurance you will think I have some mental problem.... As today, everyone began to think...."

"Mmm..." He nodded.

"So the next question comes... Why? Why does the culprit do that? What hatred do that person have toward me? So I began to look at all my relations including my parents and siblings.... Both of them is not here with me.... So the culprit doesn't need to show them!! So the culprit would be from inside the house!!"

Zan Tengfei looked intendly.

"So the next one was father... It was when I found out the most legitimate reason. If the culprit wants to show me as a mentally patient, it would be to the father. Because if his daughter in law is a mental patient, he has to oust me from this house or make you divorce me..... So Zan Tengfei..." She grabbed his hand.

"The other person would be most affected, if I think this way... It would be you and Yingying.... Your first wife.... Is no more... Your second wife.... Turned out to be a mental patient... So why? It's because the person.... Probably a women... Is in love with you... Or obsessed with you!!" She took all of her courage to say that to him.

"Love?! Women?! What are you talking Bo Ehuang!! Are you sure about all of these?! Are you thinking of what are you implying?? Do you understand the gravity of your words??" Zan Tengfei turned serious.

"Yes Zan Tengfei!! It's the most possible theory that I have found! The women is in love with you! But she couldn't get near you..... Possibly because of your depression during that time. So she waited that you would notice her... But you didn't!! And then married me!! But seeing we get along well, she got angry because she thought we wouldn't get along well!! So she tries to create a rift between us!!"

"So what is your conclusion?"

"The person would be a worker here, who knows your everything, every moment... the women would be someone who believed by you.... and the person could be a worker who is believed by all the people in this villa." She paused.

"What do you think?!" She asked again.

Zan Tengfei stood up and walked towards her.

"WHAT RUBBISH ARE YOU TALKING?!!" Killing all her expectations, Zan Tengfei asked angrily.

"Zan Tengfei... I... You told...!!"

"So you are saying some women psychopath is obsessed with me and knowingly making you a mad women?? And that women is an employee in our house!! Are you saying that I should question and doubt every women in the house, who is personally selected by my father?!" He screeched.

"No! No! Zan Tengfei!! It's not what I am saying!!" Bo Ehuang tried to grab his hands. "You told me that you would believe me Zan Tengfei!!" Bo Ehuang began to weep. "But.... Now....!!"

"Yes!! I told you that I will believe you!! But not these kinds of stupid theories...." He mocked her. And walked towards the cupboard.

"What did you think Bo Ehuang!! I showed some respect to you as my wife, but you got greedy and accusing the women around me!!" He took his and Li Kexin's picture. "Understand.... Even I found myself after her death, she is the important women in my life. Today you said someone wrote something in our mirror!! Tomorrow you could destroy this wedding photo and say someone did it!! You are definitely crazy!!" He looked at his wife for sometime and barged out of the room.

"Zan Tengfei.... Please....!!" Bo Ehuang called his desperately....

***

After dinner time, there was another commotion in the Zan villa.

Somebody had destroyed Zan Tengfei's and Li Kexin's wedding photo!!
