Chapter 34: House Door Resentment 12
Lin You was guarded, and intuitively, this matter did not look good, but it wasn't that bad either. At least Lin You breathed a sigh of relief, because the Xu family deliberately separated her from the servants of the Lin family, so that at least she wouldn't have to face Mrs. Lin who had become strange.
Of course, Lin You definitely disagreed with the Xu family's approach, and felt a little nervous. Lin You was afraid that if the Xu family really wanted to sacrifice her alive, she would be powerless to resist.
Just walking around in the bedroom like this, Lin You's mind was in a mess. After letting herself vent for a few hours, Lin You forced herself to settle down.
No, it can't go on like this.
Lin You gritted her teeth and tried to get herself to do something. The lunch was also brought in by the servants of the Xu family. Lin You didn't move at all, but it didn't look good just like that, so Lin You poured it into the Gong bucket for disposal.
The bowls and chopsticks were placed empty on the table, and an hour later, there was a knock on Lin You's door.
"Miss Chou?"
"Are you awake? Miss Biao?"
Lin You's brain exploded with a buzzing sound, and her body was very honest and she lay down on the table. After a while, the maid outside called the doorkeeper pushed the door open and came in.
She wasn't surprised when she saw Lin You fall, she just tidied up the tableware and chopsticks. After cleaning up, she tried to move Lin You to the bed, but it didn't work, so she gave up and let Lin You lie on the table. Go on, go out on your own.
Lin You closed his eyes at the moment and couldn't see anything, but because of this, the slightest sound around him was amplified infinitely. Until the maid walked out, she vaguely heard the conversation between the maid and the guard at the door.
"Passed out."
…
Lin You slowly raised her head, grateful that she had made the right bet just now. When the maid knocked on the door, two options popped into Lin You's mind. One was to pretend to be in a coma, and the other was to hide and wait for the maid to subdue the maid, and then run out.
But there were two guards at the door. Lin You thought that even if he drank the stamina potion, he might not be able to beat two tall and trained guards, so he chose to pretend to be in a coma.
Slowly removing the handle from the knife handle at his waist, Lin You squatted down and moved to the door little by little, observing the situation of the two guards outside through the crack of the door.
Sure enough, after the maid said that, the guards seemed to relax a lot, but it wasn't enough.
Lin You turned around and went indoors again, took out the map, and thought about her mission carefully. She had a rough estimate on the eldest lady's side. Yesterday, Lin You planned to go to the ancestral hall to have a look. If this is the case, it would be in the outer courtyard, which is a bit far from here. Today, I have to go out early.
The current situation is not within Lin You's expectations, and it is time for her to prepare a backup plan for herself.
Lin You thought so, but the plan could not keep up with the changes. As time passed, and it was almost evening, the behavior of the two guards gradually became rigid and rigid, but Mrs. Lin brought food to Lin You again.
Mrs. Lin was not a servant of the Xu family. These guards knew that, so there was a conflict between the two parties. Lin You quickly tucked the quilt and the like onto the bed and pretended that someone was lying down. The bedroom leaned against the window of the courtyard in the back wall, and quickly left.
The "squeak" sound made by opening the window was covered up by the noise, and the three people at the door did not realize that something was wrong. As for why Lin You pretended she was sleeping on the bed... Anyway, the maid also said she was in a coma, but didn't say where she was?
After Lin You left, it was the Xu family's guard who forced Mrs. Lin back to her room, and the two guards didn't go in specifically to see if Lin You was still there, but still stood guard.
Lin You escaped and didn't leave immediately. When the two guards "send" Mrs. Lin back to the side room, she slipped out quietly. As soon as she went out, she hid in the grass and observed the surroundings. After making sure it was safe, she walked slowly.
In fact, this time is still early, you can see that Mrs. Lin can still move freely. Therefore, Lin You is not in a hurry. As she walked, she stopped.
why?
Lin You saw the old man's yard. In fact, the old man's yard has always been in the center of the whole house. If there are no obstructions, it is easy to see. A few days ago, Lin You didn't go to check because there were always a few guards patrolling here and there. It happened today, and now there is no one here.
The phrase "people take tea to cool" was vividly interpreted on the day when the old man died.
Lin You determined that the eldest lady's target was the old lady, so the old lady and the grandfather were husband and wife, so would the old lady have anything there?
This is what Lin You thought in his mind, and his body was very honest and walked towards the old man's yard. The gate of the courtyard was just ajar, and Lin You held her breath for a while at the gate, making sure there were no footsteps before entering.
This courtyard is much larger than the other courtyards that Lin You went to, so Lin You felt a sense of emptiness. As soon as she lifted her foot into the main room, Lin You was stunned.
There is another person here, an acquaintance.
Xu Leqi, the second girl in Tsing Yi, held a golden crown in her white hands, and stood in the old man's bedroom with a happy expression on her face.
The two looked at each other for a while and neither of them spoke.
"Sister Lin?" In the end, Er Xu was the first to speak. She picked it up and took out a red-colored hijab from the box in front of her. She wrapped the golden crown with the red-colored hijab, protected it in her arms, and pointed at Lin. Yu smiled.
"I met again. It seems that my sister and I have a fate."
Lin You refused this kind of fate, but there was no other way. Lin You took a deep breath:
"Yes, yes."
Lin You pursed a smile, looking extremely harmless. Then she took a few steps towards Miss Xu Er and said:
"It's ordered, have you eaten?"
The best way to interrupt the Chinese people when they split the topic, Lin You can only say it with a little embarrassment. She felt that there was something wrong with the second girl of the Xu family, and naturally she was unwilling to continue her conversation, but who knows if there will be any minefields?
"Pfft, hahahahaha." After hearing Lin You's words, the second girl Xu laughed out loud, and then she spoke slowly:
"Sister Lin's is quite interesting. No wonder Zhili likes you very much."
Chili? The eldest young master of the Xu family? like her?
Lin You didn't believe it at all, but she didn't open her mouth to refute.
"Okay, okay, I'm full, I came here to digest food." Xu Er's tone was smiling. "Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat it at night."
night? Can't eat?
Lin You's eyes were a little erratic, she really didn't dare to think about what this second girl Xu's supper was.
Miss Xu Er ignored her. She continued the movement that was interrupted when Lin You came in, and picked out a silver-red... wedding dress from the box in front of her?
Lin You is not very sure, because although this style is a wedding dress, the color is not red at all. Lin You was still puzzled. The second girl Xu threw the clothes into the corner, and the faint green flames immediately adhered to it, and it burned clean in a short while.
Miss Xu Er took the wrapped crown, walked towards Lin You step by step, and stood in front of Lin You:
"After all, you've served incense at my mother's place, and you've been guarded by the child Zhili. I had a good time chatting with you today, so I'll reserve a seat for you."
"Look at the false and bustling collapsed seat of the Xu family."
Lin You's heart was beating thumping, and when she regained her senses, Miss Xu Er had disappeared.
Lin You soaked the clothes on her back with cold sweat. She slowed down a few steps and came to the box left by the second girl Xu, and looked inside.
The box was not that big, but it couldn't hold anything in it, and Lin You could see the bottom at a glance.
It was a thick stack of paper. Lin You looked at the degree of yellowing of the paper and found that it was two periods. One of them was very yellow, while the other paper was still white, as if it had been put in newly.
Lin You took it out and saw that it was all in traditional Chinese characters. Although it was a bit difficult to read, Lin You could also see that these were two eulogy, one written by the old man to his two wives.
The yellow one is quite satisfactory, but the recent one is more of an apology than an eulogy.
The above vaguely mentioned that the second son of Mrs. and Ji had died, and she felt guilty, and even that Mrs. Ji was not wearing a red wedding dress when she entered the door.
Lin You looked at the corner, as if she understood something. The red wedding dress under the old lady's coffin might have been buried with the old man, which could also explain why the crown is on the old man's place.
Looking at the thick eulogy, Lin You felt more and more strange. After reading it again, Lin You finally found the key point.
The eldest son starts a family...
etc!
Lin You sorted out the order again. First, the old lady entered the door, then gave birth to two boys, both of whom "died", and then the uncle got married... Then the problem came, the eldest lady would never have anything to do with the two children of the old lady. What guilt, because that all happened before she got married.
Lin You's speculation about the relationship between the eldest lady and the old lady is about to be overturned!
Lin You is glad that she made such a trip, otherwise who knows how far she will go on the wrong road?
Once again, Lin You thought of the words of the great aunt of the Xu family at noon, saying that the big house depended on her, but the eldest lady didn't feel any guilty conscience, so she was directly pressed down. Based on this, it is impossible for the eldest lady to feel sorry for her.
But the reincarnations in the eldest lady's room, as well as the boy's clothes, proved that she was atonement for a child. Then, it is necessary to go to the ancestral temple.
The ancestral hall is the place of sacrifice, and there should be records of sacrifice. As long as you find the boy whom the eldest lady worships, you can almost understand.
Lin You's mind was very clear, she didn't waste time with the old man, she turned around and went out.
As soon as he went out, Lin You saw a group of servants of the Xu family not far away who were carrying lanterns and carrying coffins. Who was the eldest young master of the Xu family who was not stern in the front?
Lin You subconsciously dodged, looking at the destination of the group of people, it was estimated that it was the ancestral hall, and that coffin was familiar to Lin You... It was the second master of the Xu family, but the coffin.
Unexpectedly, the dead were also used cleanly by the Xu family, leaving no bones left.
When the group left, Lin You was in trouble again. Now that there are people in the ancestral hall, it would be difficult for her to go. It would not be fun if she was caught.
Lin You didn't struggle for too long, after all, she was a woman with alternatives. In the opposite direction of the group of people, Lin You went to the uncle's yard.
The uncle's yard is very close to the old man's yard. There are some guards here today, but they are all walking dead. Lin You avoided it with snacks, and the side door was not locked. courtyard.
I don't know if it was because the eldest young master left with a large group of servants just now, but Lin You didn't see a few people after lurking in the inner courtyard.
What Lin You didn't know was that the servants were all sent away by the uncle and his wife.
"Has Zhili gone?" Lin You was lying on the wall of the master bedroom and heard the voice of the uncle.
"Go, I also sent someone to compensate for the second brother and sister." The eldest lady said, "It's just the eldest sister, I'm not good..."
"Don't worry about her." The uncle's tone was full of disgust. "I really thought that if you gave birth to a few wild species, you could do whatever you want. Look at the bad things she did, cough, cough, cough"
"Husband, you..." Inside was the voice of the eldest lady pouring tea, and the uncle came over after a while.
"It's alright, the old problem is gone." The uncle's tone was filled with despair. "Don't worry about me, you, Zhili and Zhihui should be well. The one from the Bai family should marry as soon as possible."
"Here, there are so many things happening in the mansion, the wedding..." Da Furen said hesitantly.
"Isn't that the case when the old lady came in? It's enough to give a real wife, not to mention that your mother's family sent her over." The uncle was very calm, "I'm also doing it for your own good, she's here, you don't have to work so hard, early If you give birth to a child, Zhili will not be like me."
The shadow of the eldest lady was reflected on the window, and after a long time, Lin You saw her nodding.
"I don't want anything to happen to our children. In order to let Zhili Zhihui grow up, you know how many lives have been spent by me and the Xu family."
"Can't it be... The concubine only wants the family to be safe." The eldest lady's tone was full of tears.
"No." The uncle's tone was very indifferent. "Without the suppression of the evil Jiao, the Xu family will not be better, the Bai family will not be better, and the Chen family will not give up."
"Uuuu... This, what's this all about." The eldest lady seemed to be completely unable to bear it.
"It's a curse." The uncle picked up the eldest lady's hand and patted it, "You, me, the Bai family, the Xu family... can't escape."
"Perhaps it was a mistake that the ancestor of the Chen family sealed the Jiaolong."
…
Lin You listened to the conversation between the husband and wife of the Xu family in the room, and roughly understood the cause and effect.
The ancestors of the Chen family sealed Jiaolong, and the Xu family somehow used it to suppress their own luck, and they became prosperous. They even called the Bai family and the descendants of the ancestors of the Chen family to develop together. No more.
Lin You almost understands the role of the Xu family and the Chen family, so what role does the Bai family play?
Not long after Qu Zile left, the aunt of the Xu family woke up. She was knocked unconscious from behind, so she didn't know it was Qu Zile's hand.
Compared with Quzile, she felt that maybe it was the people in the Xu family's big room who became mad once they gained power.
Ingratitude, what a white-eyed wolf!
She rubbed her neck and slowly sat up from the bed without taking off her shoes, so she simply stepped on the ground.
"Come on, hold the lamp."
The aunt of the Xu family called out a few times, but no one responded. When she was about to yell in anger, the door was pushed open.
Someone came in with an oil lamp, but Aunt Xu was still unhappy and muttered.
"Lazy, slow to death."
The oil lamps in the room were lit one by one, and the whole room also lit up. At this moment, the aunt of the Xu family inadvertently swept the mirror of the dresser money and was frightened half to death.
"Old, old lady?"
The old lady holding the lantern showed a smile, an expression that was not common in the minds of the aunts of the Xu family. In her recollection, Mrs. Ji was either cowardly or forbearing, and there was no such a bold smile.
Otherwise, she obviously entered the door as a wife, why did she do it when others asked her to wear a silver-red wedding dress? But she is a prostitute, born lowly, and her waist is not straight. How can she compare with her, the dignified and upright eldest daughter of the Xu family?
"Why do you call me old lady? Call me mother." The old lady walked in step by step, "Come on, mother"
"Ah, ah, you, don't come here." Aunt Xu hurriedly avoided, "You are dead, you are not allowed to come here."
"Dead? It doesn't matter." At this moment, the old lady was wearing a red wedding dress and shook her head. "Anyway, aren't you going to die soon?"
"No! No!" Aunt Xu shook her head frantically, "I won't die, I won't!"
"Why does my elder sister talk like this?" A crisp female voice sounded from the door of the room, "We are a family, everyone is dead, how can elder sister not die?"
Xu Leqi in Tsing Yi blinked, walked a few steps quickly, and put the crown on his hand to the old lady. The old lady just let Xu Leqi's movements go blank.
"You, Le, Le Qi?"
"Yes, it's me, sister." Xu Leqi put on the crown for the old lady, and after admiring it for a while, she looked back at the aunt of the Xu family, "and father, everyone is here."
The aunt of the Xu family widened her eyes, and sure enough, the purple face not far away was indeed the grandfather of the Xu family.
Suddenly, the aunt of the Xu family was restrained by a person behind her, and Xu Lerong couldn't help struggling. After struggling, he saw that the pale face was the second master of the Xu family.
"Second, second brother?"
"The family is reunited No, there is big brother. Hmm!"
Hearing what the second girl of the Xu family said, the aunt of the Xu family was completely frightened, and she knelt down with a puff:
"Le Qi, I was wrong, I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
"I didn't do it on purpose, really, I... blame the third child, and he didn't stop me."
"I don't want it to be like that. Father, he also tacitly agrees, and I have no choice."
…
"Liangtangtang, the eldest girl is bright and dignified." The second girl of the Xu family closed the door and hugged the stunned mother beside her. "Big sister, you should be very happy now, doesn't she like this the most?"
The old lady nodded dully.
"That's great, so we can all be together."
