Chapter 168: Chapter 168: The Compassionate Female Ghost Seeks Justice 1_1

After the auction ended successfully, Shen Tianxing and Dugu Zixi left together.

The two of them went back to the Dugu Family home.

On the way, Shen Tianxing received a phone call from her mother Li Xiuxia, who reminded her, "Xiaoxing, your birthday is in a couple of days, you must come home for dinner!"

Feeling the concern and care in her mother’s words, Shen Tianxing replied with a sweet smile, "Mom, I remember; I will definitely come home to have dinner with you all, don’t worry!"

Li Xiuxia, with a laugh, replied, "Good, then we’ll prepare the meal and wait for you to come back and eat!"

"Thank you, Mom."

"Silly child, what are you thanking your mom for; alright, I won’t disturb you anymore, I’m hanging up now!"

"Okay, Mom, goodbye!"

"Goodbye!"

After hanging up the phone with Li Xiuxia, Shen Tianxing turned to look at Dugu Zixi, who was driving, and asked him, "Zixi, my birthday is coming up, do you want to come to my house with me for dinner?"

Every year, Shen Tianxing’s birthday was celebrated with a family banquet at the Shen Family.

And every member of the Shen Family would give Shen Tianxing gifts and sincere wishes, filling her with happiness.

This year, she and Dugu Zixi had gotten engaged, which made her feel very happy, so she really hoped that this birthday Dugu Zixi could also spend it with her and her family.

Just as Dugu Zixi’s car was about to enter the Imperial Compound, Shen Tianxing suddenly saw a beautiful female ghost float in front of their car, stretching out her hands to stop them.

Shen Tianxing heard her pleading, "Master Shen, I beg you, help me seek justice!"

Shen Tianxing was a bit surprised but still told Dugu Zixi to stop the car.

Dugu Zixi looked at her and asked, "Xiaoxing, what’s wrong?"

Shen Tianxing told him, "There’s a female ghost asking me for justice; I’ll go down and have a look!"

Upon hearing that there was a female ghost, Dugu Zixi’s brows instantly furrowed, "This area belongs to the Imperial Compound, filled with the energy of the dragon. How can this female ghost enter this place and seek justice from you?"

Shen Tianxing nodded, looking at the ghost’s spirit, which was enveloped in a faint layer of yellow golden light,

Shen Tianxing sighed softly, "This female ghost is protected by merit protection, which shows she must have done a lot of good deeds in her lifetime. That’s how she could get in here to find me, but how did she know about me?"

"You should ask her later."

"Mhm."

Shen Tianxing got out of the car, and the beautiful female ghost immediately floated in front of her, wearing a faint smile, "Master Shen."

She had clearly been asking Shen Tianxing to help her seek justice just moments earlier!

Yet there wasn’t a trace of the ferocity of being wronged on her.

Generally, ghosts who die with grievances carry a heavy air of malevolence and resentment, and they could become fierce ghosts harming people at any time.

And this female ghost, despite having met such an unjust death, still managed to maintain a sense of tranquility, which was truly exceptional.

Shen Tianxing guessed that this might be related to the ghost’s inherently kind heart. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have accumulated so much merit during her lifetime, to the point where even after death, she still had merit protecting her.

Even if she were to enter the Netherworld and be reborn, with the protection of this merit, she would surely be reborn into a good life and lead a fulfilling existence.

Shen Tianxing gazed at the circle of bruises around her neck—she must have been strangled to death with a rope!

Shen Tianxing always had a great deal of respect for people or ghosts with merit.

She smiled at the female ghost and asked several questions in one breath, "Hello! May I ask who you are? What injustice do you wish to address? And how do you know that I can help you seek justice?"

The female ghost replied softly, "My name is Tang Qingyi, and I am the director of the Aixin Orphanage in Jinbi County of AnX Province. It felt like a voice in my head was guiding me here to find you, and by following that guidance, I found you."

A flicker of curiosity crossed Shen Tianxing’s mind.

Who could possess such power to guide this female ghost to her, through the unknown?

Shen Tianxing nodded slightly toward the female ghost, Tang Qingyi, "Please continue, why are you looking for me to seek justice?"

Tang Qingyi said softly, "Our Jinbi County is nationally known as a poverty-stricken county. Three months ago, Wang Qunshou, the director of the Capital City’s Poverty Alleviation Office, visited our county for a poverty alleviation program and, accompanied by county leaders, they toured our Aixin Orphanage."

"Before this, we had applied to the county for relief funds for the orphans many times, but despite practically running off our legs, the county always claimed there was no money, and the relief funds were never approved."

Upon hearing this, Shen Tianxing asked, "Without government support, how have you been able to sustain it?"

Tang Qingyi replied softly, "We could only rely on my parents’ pensions, and donations from some kind-hearted people in the community, to barely feed the more than fifty children in the orphanage."

Shen Tianxing then asked her, "Have you always been in charge of the orphanage?"

Tang Qingyi responded, "No, the orphanage was founded by Aunt Li Ping in 1985. Initially, she personally took in a few orphans. However, as she couldn’t care for so many children by herself, she applied to the government to establish the Aixin Orphanage."

"I was originally a volunteer at the orphanage, helping out whenever I was off work or on rest days. Later, Aunt Li Ping got liver cancer. Before she passed away, she entrusted the Aixin Orphanage to me, asking me to carry on with the mission and not to let those poor children end up homeless."

"After discussing it with my parents, I decided to resign from my official job to take on this responsibility, and eventually I became the director of the Aixin Orphanage."

"Many people around me thought I was foolish, even my boyfriend broke up with me over this, saying he couldn’t shoulder the responsibility with me. I understood him and broke up peacefully."

"But what they didn’t understand is how happy and blessed I feel being with these innocent and lovely children, and I hope they all find happiness too."

Upon hearing this, Shen Tianxing understood.

No wonder Tang Qingyi was endowed with so much merit; she must have saved many children and performed many good deeds.

Shen Tianxing asked further, "So what happened afterward? How did you come to be wrongfully killed?"

A glint of sadness and distress passed through Tang Qingyi’s eyes as she spoke softly, "I had always failed to get the relief funds from the county; even maintaining the orphanage’s daily expenses was a struggle."

"This time, Wang Qunshou told me he could help, applying to higher authorities to allocate a special fund for the support of the Aixin Orphanage."

"However, he said that this matter required my personal presence in Capital City to explain the situation so that the authorities would believe it; otherwise, he feared that others might accuse him of seeking an opportunity for embezzlement. I believed him and followed him to Capital City."

"Little did I know that this Wang Qunshou was a true beast."
