Obviously, Heiying's words really awakened the confused Murong Xiaofeng.
He immediately went to open the door and personally invited Gu Siying in.
"Sister-in-law, aren't you asleep yet?"
Gu Siying shook her head: "Not yet, I have something to tell you."
Murong Xiaofeng couldn't help but become alert and asked seriously: "What's the matter? Is uncle's condition serious?"
Gu Siying carefully looked at the man in front of her, trying to find some strange expression.
"Uncle's condition is relatively stable at the moment, but he can't be frightened anymore."
"His health was already not very good, and the torment from nightmares undoubtedly made it worse."
Hearing the woman's words, Murong Xiaofeng couldn't help but laugh in his heart. He deserved what he had today!
But his face was still full of sadness: "Sister-in-law, why is uncle suddenly like this? Has he ever been like this before?"
Gu Siying shook her head and signaled.
"This morning is the first time." She bit the first three syllables particularly hard, as if to remind her intentionally.
Murong Xiaofeng seemed to have heard some clues, and he pretended to look incredulous.
"Did uncle start to act like this after I came here?"
Gu Siying's beautiful eyes stared closely at the man's gaze, and she nodded and said, "Maybe something unclean has come to the house."
"You have been more careful lately."
She did not directly answer yes or no, after all, she still couldn't understand Murong Xiaofeng.
Murong Xiaofeng: "Sister-in-law, if I bring something unclean with me and offend my uncle, I am willing to leave."
He directly used retreat as an advance and deliberately said he wanted to leave.
Gu Siying shook her head: "With so many people in the family, it doesn't necessarily have to be you."
"Xiaofeng, we will find a way to cure uncle's problem."
"I came to see you today because I have other things I want to talk to you about."
Murong Xiaofeng's eyes flashed with doubts and vigilance: "Sister-in-law, if you have anything to say, just tell me."
Gu Siying took a deep breath and then asked slowly: "Xiaofeng, I want to know what you think about your father's death?"
Murong Xiaofeng couldn't help but feel startled. He didn't expect the woman in front of him to be so direct.
He was silent for a while, his eyes full of endless sadness: "To tell you the truth, my father's death has always been a hurdle in my heart that I can't get over."
"My father died unjustly. I just want to find the murderer and avenge him."
Gu Siying asked tentatively: "Do you have a goal now?"
Murong Xiaofeng tried his best to suppress the tension in his heart and kept a calm face: "Not yet."
"The murderer is too cunning to find any clues."
Gu Siying kept looking at it carefully: "Xiaofeng, things back then may not be as simple as they appear. It's not impossible that there are a lot of things inside."
Murong Xiaofeng could feel that there was something in Gu Siying's words, and he seemed to vaguely understand something.
He asked tentatively: "Sister-in-law, have you discovered anything about my father recently?"
Gu Siying was thinking deeply, with an invisible secret hidden in her eyes.
"I didn't find anything, but when I saw my uncle's appearance today, I vaguely felt that it was related to your father's death."
"Uncle told us about your father a long time ago. The relationship between him and uncle was particularly deep back then."
"My uncle's death over the years has also been a scar in my heart."
"He has also been investigating what happened back then, but the result is the same as you, he didn't find any clues."
Looking at the woman's serious eyes, for a moment, Murong Xiaofeng almost believed her words, but in the end his reason was broken.
"My father is such a kind person. I really can't figure out who could be so vicious."
"Sister-in-law, can you please help me find the murderer?"
His voice was full of pleading, and his face was mixed with helplessness and sadness.
And when Gu Siying saw his pitiful appearance, she couldn't help but sympathize.
"Ye Xiu and I will naturally help you."
"But I hope you trust us." Her face was full of seriousness, with an aura that could not be refused.
Murong Xiaofeng nodded immediately without thinking: "Okay, I believe my brother and sister-in-law!"
Gu Siying couldn't see any clues on the man's face. She didn't know if it was because he hid it too well or because he wasn't sharp enough to catch the strangeness.
For a moment, she fell into deep thought.
"Well, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first and you should rest early."
She was about to turn around and leave, but was suddenly stopped by the man behind her.
"Sister-in-law, wait."
Gu Siying immediately stopped, turned around and asked, "Is there anything else?"
Murong Xiaofeng slowly took out a white amulet from his pocket and said sincerely: "Sister-in-law, I went to the temple to ask for this amulet. It can bring peace."
"You and your brother have worked so hard for me. I don't know how to thank you, so I will give you this amulet as a thank you gift."
After finishing speaking, he slowly handed the amulet in his hand to Gu Siying.
Gu Siying did not pick it up immediately. She carefully observed the white amulet. There was nothing on it, it was more like a piece of white cloth.
"Aren't amulets usually red?"
Murong Xiaofeng tried his best to suppress the tension in his heart and tried to look calm.
"Sister-in-law, I specially asked for a white one, because the usual amulets are red and can be knocked out at a glance, but this one looks like a white piece of paper, and no one else can see it when it is placed on the body."
"Take it, it's my intention."
Seeing the sincere look on the man's face, Gu Siying didn't know how to refuse.
A voice inside told her not to accept this thing.
"Sister-in-law, don't you believe me?"
Hearing this, Gu Siying couldn't help but feel startled in her heart.
"I don't believe you."
"It's just that amulets are generally not given to others, because they are things that keep a person safe. You should keep them for yourself."
Murong Xiaofeng couldn't help but feel a little anxious when he saw the woman looking so vigilant.
He still maintained a sincere look: "Sister-in-law, just because this is something to keep you safe, that's why I want to give it to you and your brother. I hope you can also be safe."
"If you don't accept it, you still treat me as an outsider." He pretended to be angry.
When Gu Siying saw the man's appearance, she didn't think he had any ulterior motives. There was helplessness on his face: "Okay, I'll take it, thank you."
Then, she found the amulet in the man's hand.
Murong Xiaofeng's face showed a satisfied smile, and he said with relief: "You're welcome!"
Gu Siying returned to the room with the white amulet. For some reason, she always felt vaguely uneasy in her heart.
"Ying'er, why do you look so sad?"
Ye Xiu's gentle and magnetic voice came.
She slowly raised her eyes and showed the amulet.
"Xiaofeng gave me this amulet just now, saying it can keep me safe."
"I always feel like it's not right to accept this thing."
Ye Xiu couldn't help but look at the amulet in the woman's hand, and his expression suddenly changed.
