Like squeezing out toothpaste, it leaks out little by little.
"It seems that someone was working on a key plot while we were chatting." Luo Liang wanted to put his hands in his pockets, but found that he had no pockets. He retracted his hands awkwardly and said, "It's definitely not in our yard."
“Hmm.” Currently, there are only a few key plot points that can be found. Yu Xing has already listed one, two, three, and four before, but he just doesn’t know which line has been dug up.
Insert an app: a perfect replica of the old version of the book-chasing artifact and a replaceable source app—— .
Now, in the blink of an eye, Master Fang is dead.
It can be said that in the first half of the chapter, the person who has the most malicious intentions towards Xiao Jin has already played GG. It is a good thing that he does not have to worry about being targeted inexplicably for the time being.
After all, Master Fang's death is inevitable and cannot be changed. Only after his death can the subsequent plot unfold, so there is nothing to feel sorry for.
Yu Xing opened the door a crack, and a white shadow floated above his head. The shadow cast on the ground, swinging back and forth, which was a bit scary.
He brushed aside the white cloth hanging on the porch and looked outside. He saw this hanging in front of all the houses. It was dark, and these ornaments were fluttering in the wind, like slender ghosts.
The two female servants opposite the door were supporting each other and crying. They were wearing white mourning clothes and looked haggard. They might have just returned from the mourning hall, and there were still gray stains on their knees from kneeling.
Yu Xing only glanced at him, and before the maid noticed him, Yu Xing immediately closed the door.
Luo Liang could also get a general idea from behind. He glanced around the room and then walked towards the closet: "Fortunately, you didn't go out directly. It would be over if you were seen."
The closet door was opened, and there were two white mourning robes neatly stacked inside. The sizes were slightly different. They were obviously prepared for Xiao Jin and A Gui.
The young master should be newly deceased, but everyone in the Fang family has changed their clothes. If Yu Xing and the others are seen without changing their clothes, they will definitely be suspected.
Forget it about NPCs, the evil ghost will definitely be able to tell something is wrong at a glance and achieve the killing conditions.
The pitfall of this deduction is really the details...
Yu Xing took off his coat, took the larger one and put it on. This dress was very familiar. This was what he wore in the first stage.
For a moment, it was as if time had returned to its original state.
After changing clothes, he and Luo Liang went out, intending to inquire about the news. Yu Xing estimated that the relationship between Xiao Jin and Liu Xue should have made progress during the skipped period, so he went to find Liang's mother.
is the safest.
As for Agui, played by Luo Liang, he doesn’t know where to go for the time being, so let him follow him.
Wherever they went, the sound of crying could be heard. Everyone was busy grieving, and no one could care about the two people walking around in the mansion. Yu Xing looked sad, trying to blend into the atmosphere, and then asked someone to inquire about Liang's mother.
whereabouts.
The little girl who was being questioned wiped her tears, pointed to the master room, and said: "Husband, Madam was so sad that she fainted. Mother Liang is taking care of her."
"Thank you." Luo Liang showed a comforting look and asked Yu Xing with his eyes.
"Let's go and express our condolences to Madam." Yu Xing said, "I have done a lot of things for Madam, but now that Madam has passed away, of course I have to go and visit her. Maybe Mother Liang still needs us."
Luo Liang nodded: "Yes, the master and the housekeeper are busy dealing with the young master's affairs, and Dr. Cui...it is really difficult to have only Mother Liang to look after him. Let's go!"
The two of them convinced themselves and walked towards the madam's room.
The master is not here. There is a maid left outside the house. Fortunately, he saw her on the night of Dr. Cui's death. She was standing behind his wife with an indifferent expression, as if it had nothing to do with her.
It was still the same today. The maid's expression was indifferent. She was neither sad about the young master's death nor worried about the madam's fainting.
Yu Xing calmly made a calculation in his heart. He had long discovered that the Madam's maids seemed to have a very special status. They did not need to cater to other people's emotions to change themselves. The Madam did not scold them, and others did not find it strange.
.
After getting closer, he found that the maid's face was very pale and a little sick, her lips were discolored, and her skin was not as bright as it looked before, and was gray and gray.
Yu Xing didn't look much, he asked: "How is Madam? Is Mother Liang in there?"
The maid glanced at him, moved to the side, and opened the door.
"Madam said, if you come, let you in." She looked at Luo Liang and said coldly, "No one else is allowed."
Luoliang: “……”
He backed away obediently and imitated Agui's tone: "Xiao Jin, then go in, I'll wait for you outside! You must help Mama Liang take good care of your wife!"
The maid's expression softened slightly.
Yu Xing thought for a moment: "Don't wait for me. Go see where you need help, or find someone to chat with. I think you are almost bored."
Looking for someone to chat is a hint to Luo Liang to find his teammates. He believes that people who can pass the side mission will understand.
As expected, Luo Liang had no objection and watched him enter his wife's door.
In the room, the lady was half-leaning on the bed, drinking bird's nest. Her face was slender and her cheeks were rosy. She did not look like an overthinking woman.
Seeing him coming, the lady smiled slightly but said nothing.
Mother Liang was much more sincere, sitting on a brought chair and quietly wiping her tears.
She is Master Fang's nanny. She has watched him grow up since he was a child, and she treats him as her own son.
As a result, people continued to treat illnesses and cultivate themselves, but in the end they disappeared.
"Young Master, he studied so hard, and even said that in this turbulent era, he wanted to get into a good school and go out to train himself. He will be able to take the exam this year. Why does it happen at this time..." Mother Liang said in her heart
It was so sour that she didn't even hear Yu Xing's footsteps. She wiped away her tears and remembered that the saddest thing was the madam. How could she cry in front of the madam!
Thinking of this, Mother Liang finally recovered from her sadness and was a little surprised when she saw Yu Xing beside her.
"Mother Liang, it's not easy for my son, but the whole family has tried their best. Alas...it's because he is not lucky and cannot enjoy a healthy life." Most of Madam Liang's face was covered by the bed curtains. From Mother Liang's
Her face and expression could not be seen from the angle of view, but Yu Xing could see clearly that this lady was not at all sad at all, and she was only doing it for people to see if she fainted due to excessive sadness.
"The person has passed away, I can think about it, Mother Liang, you don't have to worry about me." Madam's voice was soft, as if her little patience was exhausted at this moment, she stroked her long hair, and then said, "This
The whole house has been in chaos for two days, and I am still in a hurry to come back from other places. You need to worry more about the things in the house than me."
Mother Liang was stunned for a moment and said guiltily: "I can't do anything to help..."
"No, you can." Madam looked at Yu Xing, the tail of her eyes raised like a fox, which was somewhat similar to Yu Xing's slightly raised eyes.
Yu Xing's expression changed. He felt that not only did his wife look better than before, but her appearance also seemed to be more beautiful.
The lips had not been painted with lipstick, but were already covered with a beautiful light pink. This lady was more beautiful and weirder than before when she was wearing heavy makeup.
At least Yu Xing hasn’t met any woman yet, and she becomes more and more beautiful after her son’s death.
There is probably a very cruel truth in this.
The madam finally showed a look of decadence and exhaustion. She raised her body, stuck her head out and said to Liang's mother: "There are a lot of sundries in the house that need to be purchased. It was you who came here, but I thought that as the young master's nanny, you are no more sad than me.
How much less? I really shouldn’t bother you like this anymore, Xiao Jin happened to come to see me...Xiao Jin."
Yu Xing responded.
She seemed to be asking for advice: "I'll leave the purchasing work to you this time, can you do it?"
Mother Liang lamented that her wife's arrogant temper was almost wiped out by the bad news, but Yu Xing saw a hint of ruthlessness in it.
Can you ask me? You are saying...can I take advantage of this opportunity to get Liu Xue? That's why I have to send Mother Liang away. After all, Mother Liang's role is to let me get to know Liu Xue naturally. Now that the goal is achieved, Mother Liang also
It's useless.
He thought clearly, and on the surface he still endured the sadness and agreed.
“Let’s go today, while it’s still early,” the lady ordered, calling the maid standing beside her, “Xiao Ling, bring me the bag I prepared.”
“Eh.” Xiaoling, also known as Zhao Ruru, picked up a palm-sized bag from the table next to her, pursed her lips, and walked over to hand it to Yu Xing.
She just discovered that this bag looked exactly like the one hanging on her waist, with a ghost character embroidered in the middle.
Yu Xing stretched out his hand, and when the maid Xiao Ling handed over something, he saw Xiao Ling's wrist that was not wrapped by her sleeves.
A ferocious deep scar protruded from the sleeve. Judging from the trend, it probably extended to the entire forearm.
Xiao Ling's complexion was also very poor, and she had lost a lot of blood just like the maid outside the door.
This symptom is so familiar to me, and I can tell the cause at a glance.
He pretended not to see anything, took the bag, and found the words on the bag, and looked at the lady without knowing why.
The lady knew that he was confused and explained: "The master gave this to me. It is said to ward off evil spirits and keep people safe. You don't need to worry about it. There are banknotes and a shopping list in it. Just go to the market and follow the instructions above."
Maybe she knew some inside information, but Yu Xing felt that every word she said had profound meaning.
He nodded: "Don't worry, madam, it's not like I haven't done it before. I remember all of this."
Madam Liang waved her hands with satisfaction, coughed twice weakly under the gaze of Mother Liang, and lay back.
Yu Xing received a mission that seemed to have a plot progression. He was about to leave when Liang’s mother held his hand.
He turned around blankly and saw Mother Liang hesitated for a while and took out a paper bag from her clothes.
She didn't want to disturb Madam's rest, so she lowered her voice: "Xiao Jin, I was going to go shopping these days. I prepared last month's money and wanted to bring it to Xue'er along the way. But this change was too sudden. It was already worse than before.
The payment was late for several days."
Yu Xing secretly thought that it turned out that the time jumped by one month.
Although the young master just passed away yesterday, he had already begun to feel worse in the past few days. The master in the Fang Mansion watched over the young master, and a group of people prayed for the young master. Even the daily work was reduced a lot.
Mother Liang's face was haggard, and she looked as if she had aged five or six years. Her voice was still choked with sobs: "I trust you, can you... help me give this to Xue'er? I know that you and Xue'er are in love.
, you are a good boy, willing to work hard, and smart. Xueer will not suffer from following you. I...even if I die one day, I can feel at ease!"
Yu Xing was "shocked" and said quickly: "Mother Liang, I can help you deliver the money, but don't talk nonsense about unlucky things. You are only less than forty years old, so you are still young!"
“Hey, I hope so...Thank you, but don’t let Liu Bingxian, that old gambling dog, hand it over to you. Once the money is in his hands, Xue’er will have nothing to worry about!”
"Don't worry, I will definitely..." Yu Xing paused, "I will definitely not let Xue'er suffer."
Zhao Ruru stood upright, a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes.
She always felt that the tone of this guy named Xiao Jin sounded so much like Yu Xing when he was deceiving others?
Looks like I need to do some fortune-telling and confirm my identity later when no one is around.
Yu Xing took the small bag and went out.
He followed the path that Liang’s mother took him last time... In fact, it was just a few hours ago for him, rented a rickshaw, and headed towards the funeral street.
In the car, Yu Xing opened the small bag and took a look.
The bag has weight when you hold it in your hand, and you can feel that the money inside is not at all.
As soon as the mouth of the bag was opened, a section of white jade was exposed to the dim light of the cloudy sky.
Yu Xing’s pupils shrank and he took out the white jade.
The white jade is exactly the piece in the second stage, except that the word "伶" is not on it, and it is changed to "囍".
It seems that this matter itself has nothing to do with the actor. It is just because the actor was involved in the previous stage, so the wording was changed as a reminder of the identity of the special guest.
Yu Xing’s eyes calmed down and he picked up the other thing in the bag besides the white jade.
That's a note.
Logically speaking, this should be a shopping list, but this time "Xiao Jin" came out alone. Without Liang's mother, there was no need to maintain the excuse. The so-called list was actually a note with tasks written on it.
"Find Liu Xue, give her the white jade as a gift, and propose to her. Make sure she holds the jade and says these six words, "I am willing to marry you," and then brings her back to Fang Mansion. I will solve the problem for Mother Liang.
.”
The handwriting is delicate and vigorous. Yu Xing has never seen his wife write, but based on his intuition, he thinks this is not written by her.
On the contrary, I have seen the master’s calculations written and painted, and the strokes are quite similar to those on the paper.
In other words, this is written by a master.
At this point, Yu Xing already knows one of the necessary conditions for this wedding.
For Liu Xue, she must personally promise to marry, but the truth is that this jade represents the underworld, death, etc., or directly represents the dead Young Master Fang, so Liu Xue's willingness is not Xiao Jin, but the eternal doom.
of abyss.
But... will he solve the problem on Mother Liang's side? What problem will he solve?
Are you worried that Mother Liang will stop her after knowing the truth, so you want to kill Mother Liang?
