The nanny completely lost her composure.
Anyone would in this situation.
She pointed her finger at Niannian's nose, her voice rising an octave.
"You little country bumpkin liar! What nonsense are you spouting? I've never laid a hand on my daughter, let alone done the things you've described! Even if you're a rich family's daughter, you can't just slander people like this!"
"If you keep talking nonsense, do you think I won't rip your mouth off!"
The nanny was trembling all over, her voice getting louder and louder until it turned into a roar.
But this wasn't out of anger.
It was out of fear.
Every word Niannian said was right on the mark, completely exposing all the darkness in her heart.
She had gotten pregnant before marriage.
The man who had gotten her pregnant and promised her eternal love had run away when she was eight months pregnant.
She had met this man in a KTV. He came from a poor family and was idle, but he had a good-looking face and a silver tongue.
She was young back then and was completely smitten by her boyfriend. She was determined to marry him.
But her parents flatly refused.
At that time, her boyfriend said they should have a child first. Once she was pregnant, her family would have no choice but to agree.
So she eloped with her boyfriend and lived outside for a year. When her belly was eight months big, she went back home to ask her parents to approve the marriage.
But in the end, her parents kicked her out and even moved her household registration.
They said she could have the baby if she wanted, and she could get married if she wanted, but from then on, she was cut off from the family.
The day after her boyfriend heard this news, he ran away.
She came from a well - off family, a middle - class household. That man had been interested in her because he thought that by marrying her, he would get help from his father - in - law.
But in fact, her family favored sons over daughters. As a daughter, she was only well - fed and well - clothed but never truly valued.
After this incident, her family thought she was a disgrace and didn't want to recognize her anymore.
The baby was already eight months old and couldn't be aborted. She had no choice but to give birth to it herself.
She had tried to abandon the child, but in this day and age, it wasn't that easy to get rid of a baby.
Within a few days, the child was sent back.
She didn't want to go to jail for child abandonment, so in the end, she gave up the idea of getting rid of the child and raised her.
But as the little girl grew up, she looked more and more like that man.
The anger and hatred in her heart grew stronger.
Every time she saw the child's face, she would think of the man who had ruined her life, and she came to hate her own daughter as well.
If it weren't for this child, even if she had eloped for a year, she wouldn't have been cut off from her family when she got back.
So during her daughter's growing - up years, whenever she was in a bad mood, she would beat and scold the girl.
She created an image of a kind mother outside, but at home, she was a different person.
Her daughter's so - called illness wasn't really an illness at all. It was the result of years of abuse.
But she didn't care at all. She didn't even want to treat her daughter. She wished the child would die soon.
From time to time, she would use her daughter's "illness" as an excuse to gain some benefits.
For example, when she worked in the Yu family, Yu Shanhe gave her a raise after learning that her child was sick.
For example, she had raised nearly a million in donations by claiming that her child was ill.
In the nanny's eyes, this was the little girl's last use.
The nanny didn't care about her daughter's life or death, but she cared about her own reputation. She knew that if the things she had done in secret were exposed, she would be in big trouble.
So when Niannian pointed it out, she was terrified.
She wanted to suppress her panic with a loud voice.
She looked like the kind of person who thought that as long as they shouted louder, they were in the right.
She thought that if she acted tough enough, she could scare a little kid into stopping this nonsense.
But in fact, Niannian was completely unaffected. She even came up with a way to prove her words.
"Shameless auntie, if you don't believe me, you can go back home now. The little sister's body is still warm, and the bruises you left on her haven't faded yet."
"Shameless auntie, actually, I don't recommend you going home. The little sister was full of resentment when she died. Her soul is still there. If you go home, she'll haunt you until she kills you."
"And there's nothing you can do about this. Master said that those who do many evil deeds will surely reap what they sow. People always have to pay for what they've done. A vengeful ghost killing someone doesn't violate the rules of the underworld. They can avenge their grievances, and no one, neither human nor ghost, will interfere."
The little girl said it very seriously.
Every word made the nanny feel a chill down her spine.
As the little girl spoke, she could even imagine her daughter's soul wandering around the house, ready to kill her at any moment.
Sometimes, even those who haven't done anything wrong are afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, let alone someone like her who has a guilty conscience.
Seeing that the nanny was on the verge of losing control, Yu Shanhe quickly grabbed Niannian's head and held her on his shoulder, preventing her from looking at the nanny. Then he took out his phone and dialed the police number.
Yu Sheng was completely stunned.
Especially after seeing what his father had done.
Was this really that simple?
Could people really believe the crazy words of a five - year - old child?
Dad! There has to be a limit to how much you dote on your daughter, right!
Yu Sheng didn't believe it at all.
Confucius said not to talk about strange, violent, chaotic, and supernatural things.
He was a complete materialist.
He always thought that both the Taoist priest who had raised Niannian and Niannian herself were quacks.
They would say some mysterious things to scare ordinary people and make money from them.
When he was in junior high school, one of his classmates was seriously ill. Maybe the classmate could have been cured if they had gone to the hospital.
But then the classmate's parents met a Taoist priest. With just a few words, the family's savings were emptied and given to that swindler.
In the end, they lost both the money and the child.
Since then, he had hated Taoist priests and fortune - tellers.
So from the moment he knew they were going to pick up his sister from the Taoist temple, he had no good impression of this little girl who had lived in the temple.
After they got home and she kept saying all these strange things, he thought this sister was even weirder and more annoying.
Why couldn't she just be a normal kid?
Why did she have to engage in all these side - ways?
Their family wasn't short of money.
Seeing that his father had hung up the phone, Yu Sheng finally couldn't help but roll his eyes and said, "Dad, you believe this? The auntie has been working in our family for four years. Four years of getting along isn't worth two words from a little swindler?"
"Even if you don't trust the auntie's character, you should use your head. We've met the auntie's daughter. If she really abused the child, why didn't the child say anything when she saw us?"
Yu Shanhe glanced at his son and then looked away in less than a second. Disgust was written all over his face.
He must take this stupid kid to the hospital to check his brain one day.
And maybe do a paternity test as well.
This kid was so stupid. He really didn't seem like his son.
Yu Sheng, who was inexplicably disliked: ???
