Lord Chu’s Wife is Wild

Aunt Yu and Liang Ping wanted to question her, but they were afraid that it would be inauspicious to interrupt the ritual. Hence, they could only wait anxiously at the side.

“I’ll pass it on to them for you. If you have any problems in the future, you can tell Aunt Yu and Brother Liang in their dreams directly. Children cannot bear the torture.”

After Lu Sheng finished speaking, the burning candle was extinguished.

Lu Sheng frowned and lit the candle again. She asked faintly, “Do you have other matters?”

“Is my old man unsatisfied with something?”

Aunt Yu could not help but ask.

Lu Sheng turned her head and said, “Uncle Liang said that the place where he lives has been flooded. It’s wet everywhere and there’s no way for him to live there. He wants Brother Liang to bury him in a better place. Also, you didn’t visit the graves during Qingming Festival this year. He doesn’t have money in his pockets and can’t do anything. He even owes someone a lot.”

Ghosts needed money to live in the Netherworld. There was only one Bridge of Helplessness and one Meng Po. Thousands of people died daily. If they wanted to be reborn, they had to queue.

During this period of waiting, ghosts needed money to eat and drink in the Netherworld.

Some ghosts would have to wait hundreds or even thousands of years before it was their turn to walk on the Bridge of Helplessness. Hence, their descendants would have to burn them money for these hundreds of years.

As for those who were childless, they could only become wandering ghosts. In order to get the money, they would pester those with weak souls and get them to invite people to perform the ritual so that they would burn some money for them.

The grave was their house in hell. Everyone had their own house. Of course, there were good and bad places.

For example, a mud hut would be built in the Netherworld if they were buried underground.

Those mansions would be mansions in hell as well.

Some ghosts could still live with their relatives who died before them in the Netherworld.

Lu Sheng and Lu Zhou had been to Ghost City before. Needless to say, it was no different from the mortal world.

When Aunt Yu heard that, she wiped her tears and sighed softly. “Yuan Zi’s grandmother passed away during Qingming Festival this year, so all of us went over. When we returned, half a month had already passed. We thought of going over next year.”

“Lu Sheng, what else did my father say?” Liang Ping hurried forward and asked.

Lu Sheng replied, “He said he doesn’t have money this year and borrowed some money from others. They’re after his debts now. He wants you to burn more money so that he can return it to them.”

“That’s all?”

Lu Sheng nodded. “That’s all.”

Liang Ping nodded. “Then, tell him that I’ll burn more money tomorrow morning. As for moving the grave, when do you think it’s suitable?”

“Today was originally a good day to move the grave, but it’s already dark now so it’s not appropriate. If we want to move the grave, we’ll have to wait until the Qingming Festival next year.”

There was a rule when it came to moving graves. One could not act rashly as it might bring misfortune to their family.

Liang Ping frowned. “What should we do?”

“Brother Liang, wait for a while. I’ll ask Uncle Liang for you.”

Lu Sheng turned around and discussed with Uncle Liang.

In the end, Uncle Liang agreed to move the grave next year during Qingming Festival. However, Liang Ping had to clean his grave tomorrow.

Lu Sheng passed Uncle Liang’s words to Liang Ping, who said that he would enter town early the next morning to buy some offerings and then visit the grave.

The Liang family’s grave was at the foot of the mountain. Lu Sheng suspected that the rain had been too heavy recently, which was why there was water in the grave.

Uncle Liang left after speaking.

Lu Ran watched them from the side and did not believe them. He even decided to pay his respects to Uncle Liang with Liang Ping tomorrow and check if the situation was as what Lu Sheng had said.

When Lu Sheng heard that, she gave him a talisman when she reached home and told him to bring it with him. After all, that was not her family’s grave.
