Wait for me inside; I’ll be right back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Cheng put on a white bathrobe and then donned Kong Lingwen’s wig.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you going to disguise as a ghost to scare Cao Yumei? She’s not foolish—she won’t believe it, and it’ll be obvious that it’s us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kong Lingwen furrowed her brow, somewhat disapproving of his idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look at this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Cheng took out some broken flowers from his pocket, the same Illusory Soul Orchid that had fallen earlier that day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Weren’t these shattered already? Where did you get them from?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kong Lingwen asked in surprise. She had been with Yang Cheng the whole time but hadn’t noticed when he picked the flowers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Before you dropped them, I managed to pluck two. The scent of the Illusory Soul Orchid can make someone feel dizzy and disoriented. When the flower’s juices enter the body, they can cause hallucinations.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Kong Lingwen understood perfectly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re truly clever! If you were part of the Kong Family, you’d have played those two to death by now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kong Lingwen looked at him with admiration, giving him a thumbs up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just you wait; I’m going to scare her half to death.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Cheng’s eyes glimmered with excitement as he finished equipping himself and climbed out of the window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, he reached the window of Kong Jingshan and Cao Yumei, channeling spiritual energy into his palm to easily open the window through a layer of glass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He moved closer, sprinkling some white powder in front of Kong Jingshan to ensure he continued sleeping peacefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Assured that Kong Jingshan wouldn’t wake easily, he then took out a silver needle, dipped it in Illusory Soul Orchid juice, and pierced Cao Yumei’s acupoints.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the juice coursed through her bloodstream, she furrowed her brow uneasily, her heart raced, and unsettling images emerged in her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hallucinations amplify one’s deepest fears or desires. Today, Kong Lingwen had mocked Cao Yumei as a mistress who climbed ranks, and Yang Cheng bet that her hallucinations would reveal Kong Lingwen’s deceased mother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After piercing several of Cao Yumei’s acupoints and ensuring the Illusory Soul Orchid’s toxin had taken effect, Yang Cheng’s work was done.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No... don’t come over. I didn’t kill you; you were too weak physically. I just spoke a few words, and you prematurely gave birth. That’s not my fault!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Yumei muttered continuously, shaking her head vigorously, her limbs struggling uncontrollably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xu Wan, don’t haunt me, or I’ll have a master drive you to oblivion!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We were good friends; I’m not inferior to you in looks or background. Why could you marry Jing Shan?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I only wanted you and Jing Shan to divorce so I could take your place. I didn’t want you to die. You were too emotional, and that’s why it ended in a tragedy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Cheng listened for a long while and understood everything that had transpired years ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn this woman!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took out a silver needle and pierced it into her philtrum. Cao Yumei was awakened by the sharp pain and saw a white figure before her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The long hair was blowing, sweeping across her face, the cold, eerie eyes staring straight at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person in front was clearly Yang Cheng, yet in Cao Yumei’s eyes, it appeared to be the deceased Xu Wan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahhhhh!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Yumei screamed madly, trying to flee but collapsed onto the floor as soon as she got out of bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Help! There’s a ghost! Save me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cao Yumei, where will you escape? You killed me, and now you threaten my daughter. I’m taking you away!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Cheng altered his voice, speaking coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Yumei couldn’t stand, only able to crawl forward with all her might, yelling, \"No! Please spare me; you remember I was your best friend.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed! I treated you as my best friend, but you stole my husband, leading to a tragedy. I should’ve taken you away long ago, so my daughter wouldn’t suffer all these years.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the words were spoken, the sound of hurried footsteps came from outside the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing someone approaching, Yang Cheng immediately jumped out of the window, promptly closing it and returning everything to its original place as if no one had ever come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to the Illusory Soul Orchid’s poison, Cao Yumei had gone mad, continuously muttering under her breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Madam, what’s wrong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nanny Deng knocked incessantly at the door but couldn’t get in because it was locked, so she resorted to calling for help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, Kong Jingshan, who had been asleep, finally awoke to see Cao Yumei kneeling on the ground, hands clasped, praying continuously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xu Wan, please don’t kill me. I truly know I’m wrong; I shouldn’t have stolen your husband or provoked you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please consider our past friendship and spare me. I won’t harm Lin Wen anymore; I’ll treat her like my own daughter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kong Jingshan’s face darkened as he woke from his sleep, initially thinking he misheard. Gradually, he discerned what Cao Yumei was saying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cao Yumei!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shouted angrily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Yumei trembled, pointing at the air, \"Husband, save me! Xu Wan is floating there; she died tragically and wants to take me away!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even as the Family Head, Kong Jingshan broke into a sweat upon hearing such words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The name ’Xu Wan’ hadn’t been mentioned in a long time, and he had almost forgotten what she looked like.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Yumei had wronged Xu Wan, but he was even more culpable. Had Xu Wan truly become a ghost seeking revenge?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, more hurried footsteps echoed in the hallway as the butler Wen Xu opened the door, hurriedly asking, \"Family Head, what’s happened?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"An avenging ghost is here; she’s right there; you both saw it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Yumei grabbed Nanny Deng’s hand, pointing to the window area, but there was only an empty curtain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Madam, you had a nightmare; let me help you up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nanny Deng gently comforted, worried about her state leading to something she shouldn’t divulge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let her speak; no one is to help her up!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kong Jingshan commanded coldly, preventing anyone from stepping forward, leaving everyone to watch as Cao Yumei spiraled into madness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The poison was deeply rooted within her, not yet dissipated, causing her to reveal many secrets while hallucinating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nanny Deng was drenched in sweat, only able to lower her head, occasionally glancing nervously at Kong Jingshan.\u003C\u002Fp>",1147,"2026-06-05T17:45:56.241Z",1,"novelbin.me","33f3f690226f9291f70f4e32c7d90366612fed11a18aa6add5fd557d12807594","romantic-medical-immortal-chapter-532","romantic-medical-immortal-chapter-530",562,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fromantic-medical-immortal-cover.jpg"]
