The story of Liu Bingxian selling his daughter for money quickly spread on the funeral street.
As old neighbors for many years, the shopkeepers on Funeral Street knew Liu Bingxian and Liu Xue very well. They liked that well-behaved girl very much, and they had always taken good care of her because they felt sorry for her suffering fate.
They never imagined that Liu Bingxian would be so bad that he would really stop doing things.
The shopkeepers thought about reporting it at first, but they were quickly reminded by others that the Fang Mansion was so rich that they might even be able to save lives. If they really stood out, they would be remembered by the Fang Mansion, and the future would be difficult.
Already.
So...
This matter has become something that everyone despises when it comes to mentioning it, but no one stands up to oppose it.
Liu Xue's despair seemed to exist only in casual conversations on the streets, and eventually became a topic of conversation.
Unconsciously, there seemed to be many mornings and sunsets alternating, and no one could feel the passage of time. It seemed that it was just a blur, and things had already happened.
Liu Xue learned about the "disappearance" of Liang's mother, and also understood the meaning of her existence while being imprisoned in Fang Mansion.
Liu Xue thought that Xiao Jin had been deceived. The master was not attracted to her at all, but to her birth date and her mysterious connection with ghosts.
The paper figures she made are the best in the city, they are born that way.
She has never found Xiao Jin. She is afraid that like her mother, she was killed by the master.
Then what’s the point of her living?
Liu Xue ran out of the Fang Mansion, borrowed a paper knife on credit to the surprised looks of the neighbors, and was then taken back by the housekeeper.
Madam was very silent and rarely left the room. Several people were missing in the Fang Mansion, but the housekeeper was very good at prevaricating them. Most of the people were still performing their duties as before, and they didn't even realize that there were so many people in the house for so many days.
A girl who was locked up.
On the way to resist, Liu Xue hid in the housekeeper's closet and committed suicide.
She thought that after she died, the master would no longer be able to do bad things. The master's plan would be disrupted, and she would be able to avenge her mother and Xiao Jin...
But the nightmare is not over yet.
When she opened her eyes again, they were covered with red shadows.
The suona shook the sky, and she saw herself sitting on a chair, wearing red makeup, covering her head with a hijab, and placing her hands in front of her belly, as if she was still alive.
The wedding dress was beautifully embroidered. She had never worn such beautiful clothes in her life. Even the servants in the Fang Mansion were better dressed than her. She could have used the money given to her by Liang's mother to buy many beautiful clothes, but all the money was used by Liu Bingxian.
Take it away and turn it into gray smoke on the gambling table.
She quietly lifted the hijab and saw her face, her lips as red as blood and her face as pale as paper.
It’s very beautiful, but it’s a little bit lifeless and too strong.
Thinking of this, Liu Xue’s hands that lifted her hijab paused in vain, and she remembered.
She is indeed not a living person.
She in front of me is a corpse.
Only then did the sound of suona reach her eardrums. Liu Xue's eyes widened, she retracted her hands, looked down at her translucent gray skin, and realized one thing. Even if he died, the master would not let her go, but let her
Her corpse completed the wedding and attracted her soul.
The outer hall was full of people and the red candles were swaying. Due to the nature of this wedding, the Fang Mansion did not invite anyone else and only allowed members of his own family and Liu Bingxian's "in-laws" to attend the banquet.
Time, here, starts moving again.
…
In the courtyard.
“Congratulations, young master!” Ah Hu and the other servants sat at the table covered with red cloth. Some of them had smiles on their faces, while others had confusion and fear on their faces as they had just learned some facts.
"Isn't this... the young master dead? And, who is the one who married the young master?"
Someone looked at the table full of delicacies and asked blankly, but was scolded by the butler sitting at the next table.
"Can you take care of it? From now on, I'll call you Mistress!" The housekeeper glared at him, "I can't stop your mouth even if I eat at the banquet!"
The man was even more frightened. How could a young lady appear out of thin air?
From now on, when he sweeps the floor... there may be a young lady he can't see floating around him at any time??
Don’t blame him for his random thoughts. In fact, many people have the same doubts as him.
Anyone without common sense knows that such a marriage is against the law, not to mention that the servants of the Fang Mansion have received some basic education. Even if it is the master who arranges this kind of thing, they have already discussed it behind his back.
Several times, I wondered how Mr. Fang, who was so smart and capable in the business world, would listen to the master's advice and do such a derogatory thing.
The deducers came back to their senses amidst the discussions everywhere.
Yu Xing looked down and found that he was on the roof of a room. Due to the cloudy sky and poor light, no one eating at the table could see him. He was safe for the time being.
For him, he had just watched the scene of Liu Xue being brought back to Fang Mansion, and he hadn't done anything yet. His thinking was like a leap, and some specious memories poured into his mind, making him confused about the development of time.
Once you have a general idea, the next thing you know is the scene of lying on the roof.
"Tsk, the food is quite fragrant." Yu Xing smelled it, crossed his arms and laughed, "Who knew that such a fragrant dish is celebrating such a disgusting thing?"
"I'm hungry."
Suddenly, a familiar cold tone sounded behind Yu Xing. Yu Xing's body tensed up at first, and then he laughed, "Why are you there too? As a legitimate subordinate of the master, shouldn't you be among the people eating the table?
Why do you stay with me, a fugitive?"
Zhao Yijiu was silent for a moment, silently crawled forward, came to the side of Yu Xing, stuck out his head and observed the yard below with Yu Xing.
“But before the time jump, we stood together. It’s reasonable for us to be in the same place after the time jump.” Yu Xing asked himself and answered, and glanced back, and sure enough he saw Diamond lying behind, planning to go down quietly.
Zhao Yijiu ignored Yu Xing. He rested his chin on his arm and stared at the food below: "I'm hungry."
"Then you go down and eat. You have a legitimate status. It would be a pity not to enjoy this meal. No, did you see the empty seat there? It's next to the fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl under the master. Maybe it's your seat.
?Maybe in their minds, the reason why you disappeared was to go to the toilet or something."
Yu Xing responded casually, but he did not move. He scanned the scene in the yard and murmured in a low voice: "The master and his wife are not here. Instead, the master and the housekeeper are hosting the banquet in the yard. The old man looks worried, obviously worried about something.
I guess today is the day when the master promised him to resurrect his son."
"Marriage is a special matter. It is a good thing in front of others and a bad thing behind. The fewer people involved, the better." Zhao Yijiu said coldly, "Master does not allow me to participate in things behind the scenes. I can only do superficial work and let the people in the house
To add some joy to the resurrection of his Son.”
“Wow~” Yu Xing exclaimed, “You said a long sentence!”
Zhao Yijiu: “……”
He backed away from Yu Xing: "I'm going down, you can watch it alone."
Yu Xing: “...I really want to go down and have something to eat.”
Unfortunately, Zhao Yijiu had already fallen to the ground and appeared in the courtyard soon, walking towards his seat. Yu Xing's plaintive voice could no longer be heard.
Fang Pian also found his place. In addition to the two of them, two other people also walked in from other places at about the same time. One was Agui, and the other was one of the servants who went out to do business with the master.
The people glanced at each other, and each had an idea of the other's identity.
Yu Xing saw everything clearly on the roof. He thought for a moment, if the number of people was still 77, then besides Zhao Ruru who was locked up in the wing room, one person would be absent.
Where will that person be?
Either he is a fugitive missing person like him and can only hide in the dark, or... the real wedding ceremony is taking place at this moment, that is, where the master and his wife are, watching the frivolous wedding.
"Such a character can only appear next to the madam... because all the master's men are in the courtyard, and those who know and are not aware are eating at the table, and not all the people serving the madam are here." Yu Xingmi
He squinted his eyes to make sure he hadn't missed anyone, then turned over and climbed down from the back of the house.
"It turns out to be Xiao Meng..." He recalled his previous contact with Xiao Meng and had an intuitive understanding of the Xu family's deducer. His acting skills were really good.
He is also someone who has read the information carefully and knows that there is a priest in the diamond team who has a very special ability.
But the information was all collected by Zhao Ruru, and he only saw things on paper. Even if he heard about the characteristics of the sacrifice, it was not as profound as seeing it with his own eyes.
This situation, if placed in a purely role-playing game, would be like a cheating device...
Yu Xing thought for a while and felt that Si's ability was very useful, but a little worse than his own.
Hey, it seemed that he had a chance to communicate with Si in private... But how could he remember that when he was at Fenggu Lanting, Si seemed to be... a man?
Although I haven’t had any contact with him, I seem to have some impression of him. Is he really a man?
It’s really hard for a man to play the role of Xiao Meng so well.
Yu Xing sighed while showing a very subtle look on his face.
With a smile on his face, he left the lively banquet place.
The wedding banquet was held in the second courtyard, which had the largest space and could accommodate all the tables, and he could guess that the most important plot was taking place in the most familiar fifth courtyard.
While the people in the mansion were gathered together, Yu Xing easily walked through the garden outside the courtyard to the fourth courtyard, and then saw a lot of red silk.
On the fifth day, many ropes were pulled into the yard and hung at a height of more than two meters. The ropes were covered with strips of red silk more than one meter wide, fluttering and hanging down to the ground, swaying in the wind.
If a person stands in the red silk formation, he will be in a state where his figure is vaguely visible, but his position is difficult to find.
It is simply the best place for ghosts to appear. A ghost may appear in any corner at any time, so it is difficult to prevent it.
Yu Xing raised his eyebrows, stretched out a finger, and brushed it on the red satin.
It is soft, smooth, and looks like fine silk at first glance. At this time, it was actually used to decorate a white wedding, which shows how rich the Fang family is.
"It's still a little worse than the Yu family before..." Yu Xing mentioned that he was in a calm mood this time and no longer had any emotional fluctuations. He compared it in his mind very objectively and came to a conclusion.
The master here is much weaker than the actor in reality.
The Yu family's various indicators are better than the Fang government's. Whether it is financial resources, power, openness and inclusiveness, or the business ability of the head of the family, the Yu family is definitely better than the Fang government by more than one and a half stars.
The only thing that cannot be compared is that Yu Xing's era is a little later than the era background in this deduction. The Yu family is an old family, but when he can remember it, the Yu family has already begun to innovate in line with the times.
The actor spent much less time than the master and destroyed the entire Yu family.
And the master has been doing things secretly for many years, just for a ceremony, and most of them failed.
One word, dish!
Yu Xing approached the array of red silk. The silk was blown up by the wind, and its soft touch wrapped around his exposed skin, giving him a vague sense of suffocation.
All the silk and satin were moving, covering up Yu Xing's movements. He listened carefully and could barely hear another sound among the intermittent suona sounds.
That's a human voice, someone is talking.
The fifth room entering the courtyard has changed a lot compared to the previous one. The separated rooms were opened one by one, and eventually the rooms on one side were strung together into a huge... wedding hall.
The door is closed, red lanterns are hung on the eaves, the sky is getting darker and darker, and the lanterns are getting brighter and brighter.
Yu Xing did not step forward in a hurry. He walked slowly towards the building and stared at the sky for a while through the gaps between the silk fabrics.
The red light of the lantern reflected the red silk, dyeing the entire fifth courtyard an extremely dim red, and even the darkening sky was glowing with dark red.
The wind began to pick up, and the atmosphere in the fifth courtyard began to become extremely weird. The temperature gradually dropped, and the satin that swept over the skin was biting and cold, causing goose bumps.
Yu Xing curled his lips, put his hands into his sleeves, and walked into the center of the red silk array with the pace of a man walking with his hands on his hands.
He could feel that the swing of the red silk was no longer moving with the wind, but was coming towards him at an uncoordinated angle.
At first, it was like a test, touching his face and ankles, and then gradually became bolder, and some silk material rolled up his hands, not knowing what to express.
Some attachment, but also wrapped in some murderous intent.
Yu Xing put a finger in front of his lips and said softly: "Shh... is it Xue'er?"
The shaking of the red silk became more violent, and the murderous intention also changed from subtle to explicit.
Yu Xing's eyes suddenly flashed, and he chuckled: "Xue'er, you read that right, I'm not dead. I've been avoiding the master's pursuit these days, and I've also tried my best to investigate the truth of the matter. I'm sorry, I'm too stupid.
, which allowed the master to achieve this step."
“I am too useless to save you and Mother Liang.”
“I’m here...to avenge you, Xue’er.”
Every time he spoke a word, he could feel the murderous intent fading away, and in the end, only a feeling of sadness and sadness was left, lingering on these red silks.
At this time, the sentence that appears most often on the barrage is
