“Could it be that your great-grandfather is…”

“That rich young master?” Zhou Kexin asked tentatively.

“Since things have come to this, I won’t hide it from you all anymore,” sighed Grandpa Jiang.

“Master Chen is right. I was the one who caused all this.”

“I asked my son to raise the price.”

“I also caused all the supernatural incidents.”

At first, Grandpa Jiang didn’t want Hu Liang and his wife to buy this house out of vigilance.

He suspected the two were also cultural relic dealers faking their identities as a couple.

He feared that the couple would start reselling everything after buying the house.

When he realized that even after the price was raised to seven million, the two of them still wanted to buy this home, he wanted to keep raising the price, but his son objected.

The income of seven million yuan could significantly improve the village’s appearance.

The village chief decided to sell the old mansion to the two of them at this price.

Grandpa Jiang had no choice but to think of another way.

As the two of them bought the place, they prepared to renovate it.

The suspicion in Grandpa Jiang’s heart disappeared, but he still had to chase them away.

This was his family’s old residence. His ancestors painstakingly built every blade of grass and tree.

He would never allow outsiders to touch this place.

As for the painting on the wall, it was a complete accident.

“Little girl,” Grandpa Jiang said bitterly when he saw Zhou Kexin moving her lips. “You want to ask me if I made up that sad story, right?”

“Since the rich young master is your great-grandfather, your great-grandmother should be that poor girl, right?” asked Zhou Kexin.

“No.”

Grandpa Jiang’s answer was beyond everyone’s expectations.

His great-grandmother was the daughter of a wealthy family in the provincial capital.

The story that Grandpa Jiang had told everyone before was true.

However, the story did not end there.

The haunted old house was a trick played by the rich young master.

“My great-grandfather studied at a place called…”

Grandpa Jiang frowned and began to recall.

“Capital University.”

Chen Yu reminded.

“Yes, yes, yes, the Capital University.”

“My great-grandfather learned a lot of skills at the Capital University, and he used them to fake haunted sightings here,” Grandpa Jiang continued.

“The purpose is so that his parents would give a good burial for that girl and, at the same time, cancel his engagement with my great-grandmother.”

The poor girl died with her unborn child and was buried in a mass grave by her family.

When the rich young master heard the news, his heart felt like it was being cut by a knife.

He wanted to give her a grand burial, but her parents refused to agree.

After a few years, the young master’s longing for the young lady increased daily.

His heart had already died, along with the girl and their child.

Continuing to be married to a wealthy lady would only harm others and herself.

“In order to ease the guilt in his heart, my great-grandfather began to play tricks, trying to make his parents fear the place.”

“He acted as if the girl hadn’t left after she died. They’ll definitely think of ways to give her a grand burial and obtain forgiveness.”

“He didn’t expect the two elders to refuse to believe it. They would rather spend money to hire batches of exorcists than agree to a grand burial.”

Grandpa Jiang’s great-grandfather had used the chemistry and physics knowledge he had learned at Capital University to fake the haunted sightings.

The local exorcists had never seen such tricks before.

They assumed that the unfortunate girl and her child had become a mother-child fiend.

Being threatened daily, Grandpa Jiang’s great-grandfather’s parents and family were about to collapse from fear.

Not long after they went to the provincial capital, they died of illness one after another.

Without the restraints of his parents, Grandpa Jiang’s great-grandfather directly laid his cards on the table with the wealthy lady.

The rich young master did not love this young lady. The two had been married for many years but had never consummated their marriage.

The young lady agreed to leave, but there was a condition.

He had to leave her a son or a daughter for her retirement.

“That era was different from now. Without a son or daughter by her side, she would be looked down upon.”

“When you get old, you’ll be eaten up by others without someone to rely on.”

Once the young lady became pregnant, Grandpa Jiang’s grandfather found a reason to divorce his wife.

He took all the blame on himself.

He then left all the family business in the provincial capital to his wife and children and returned to his hometown alone to accompany his beloved deceased wife.

The painting on the wall was drawn by this young master.

It was used to mourn his deceased wife.

He had wanted to bury the unfortunate girl in a grand burial, but unfortunately, the heavens did not fulfill his wishes.

There was a drought not long after Grandpa Jiang’s great-grandfather returned to his hometown.

Seeing that the villagers were starving, Grandpa Jiang’s great-grandfather could not bear it and sold his property in exchange for food to help everyone out.

Although he didn’t have the money to give his beloved girl a grand burial, this action was equivalent to accumulating good fortune for her.

Grandpa Jiang raised his hand and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

“Just like that, more than thirty years passed in a flash.”

“After my great-grandmother passed away, my grandfather came here to look for his father.”

“My great-grandfather was already a little delirious at that time and refused to acknowledge my grandfather.”

“He also doesn’t want to go back to the city.”

“He said that this is his and his wife’s, Wan’er’s, home. No one can disturb him.”

Wan’er was the poor girl’s name.

In order to take care of his father, Grandpa Jiang’s grandfather had to come from the provincial capital every few days to take care of his father.

“Before my great-grandfather died, he regained his consciousness, and his mind suddenly became clear.”

“He told my grandfather everything that happened back then.”

“He also made him swear to protect this mansion.”

“The person in the painting is Wan’er,” said Grandpa Jiang as he pointed at the painting on the wall.

“My great-grandfather feared that someone would destroy this painting, so he smeared lime powder on it.”

“Other than concealing the contents on the wall, the lime powder can also protect it. The painting will only appear when it comes into contact with water.”

“It’s a complete coincidence that it will look haunted on a rainy day.”

“After all, getting spooked on a stormy night is easy.”

“So, my great-grandfather chose to play his tricks in such weather.”

After listening to the second half of the story, Hu Liang and the other two sighed.

Since Chen Yu didn’t express any opinion, it meant that what Grandpa Jiang said was true.

“Grandpa Jiang, so you pretended that this place was haunted to scare away the cultural relic dealers to protect this old house?”

Pan Yueling asked.

“I’m sorry to have made you all frightened.”

“Ever since my grandfather’s era, he has been protecting this old mansion in secret. It has been more than 70 years since it passed on to me.”

“I can’t let anything happen to the old mansion in my hands, so 1 came up with this plan.”

Grandpa Jiang had learned about all these things from his father.

After learning about the love-hate dispute that happened in this old house, Grandpa Jiang also shouldered the responsibility of guarding this place.

Pan Yueling wanted to say something but didn’t know what to say.

She understood Grandpa Jiang’s intention to protect the old mansion.

But then again.

She and Hu Liang had spent seven million yuan to buy this old mansion.

It was absolutely impossible for them to leave.

“Grandpa Jiang, since your grandfather promised to protect the old mansion, why didn’t he move here?” Zhou Kexin asked coldly.

“Why did he live in the village instead?”

“Wouldn’t it be better to protect this kind of building by staying here?”

“His efforts wouldn’t have been so wasted.”

Grandpa Pan closed his eyes, his voice mixed with emotions.

“If my grandfather moves in here and reveals the relationship between him and my great-grandfather, it’s very likely to bring calamity to my grandfather..”
