A line of dampness slid down my armpit, and when the wind blew against my back, goosebumps rose all over my body, including my face.

I swallowed a mouthful of saliva and raised the shovel.

In the pit, there was only a deflated suitcase.

I collapsed to the ground.

Suddenly, I felt a cold gaze behind me, silently and quietly watching me.

I swallowed another mouthful of saliva.

My neck twisted, my bones creaking, as if in the next second it would be the severed head in the bulldozer.

Seeing what had come, my heart dropped back into my stomach.

A fat black rat.

Its beady eyes stared at me, rolling around.

"Scram!"

I threw a stone at it, and the rat squeaked and darted into another patch of darkness.

My heart was still pounding, and when I thought about it carefully, from the first day Aunt Liu arrived, I always felt a cold gaze sticking to my back.

Even though every time I turned around, all I saw was the harmonious atmosphere between Gao Xiu and Aunt Liu, and Aunt Liu's kind smile.

So, she came to be a housekeeper targeting me and Gao Xiu from the beginning, but how did she know that Gao Xiu and I would go to the housekeeping market the day after our wedding and appear there on time? And how did she clearly understand Gao Xiu's weakness for easily feeling compassionate?

These questions bombarded me one by one, making my scalp tingle.

The more I thought about it, the more terrifying it became.

Perhaps, even earlier, Aunt Liu had been eyeing me. If so, could she know...

I gasped, the pitch-black pit instantly turned into a black hole, sucking away all my sanity.

Aunt Liu, she can't stay.
