Xie Ning came to the Xing Mansion and went directly to the hall. The elders of the Xing family had no reason to receive the younger ones. At this time, Xie Ning was the only one in the hall.
She clutched the handkerchief in her hand tightly.
If Xing Ziyuan knew that she was urging her so many times a day for a pair of embroidered shoes, he would definitely quarrel with her.
But rather than being quarreled by Xing Ziyuan, she was more afraid of being discovered by others about the secret in her embroidered shoes.
Thinking of how he got these embroidered shoes, a chill ran down Xie Ning's spine.
——Those are the longevity shoes taken off from the dead.
Yan Yan came to the hall faster than Xing Ziyuan, climbed up to the roof and sat down without entering the door.
She didn't bother to listen to it in the corner, but she was very keen to listen to it on the roof.
Not long after, Xing Ziyuan arrived at the hall. After she entered, she drove out all the servants in the hall, leaving only her and Xie Ning.
"Zi Yuan, were you wearing my shoes when you walked that day?"
Xie Ning was waiting for Xing Ziyuan to mock her for a pair of embroidered shoes. She was prepared, but Xing Ziyuan didn't look like he was mocking her.
"Are you a girl from the Xie family, Xie Ning?"
When Xing Ziyuan asked this question, Xie Ning was stunned. The two have been friends for many years, why did they suddenly not recognize her?
Staring into Xing Ziyuan's eyes, Xie Ning took a deep breath.
She always felt that Xing Ziyuan's eyes were very similar to the female corpse that refused to rest in peace.
Taking a deep breath, he slowly lowered his head and looked at Xing Ziyuan's feet.
Xie Ning couldn't see the embroidered shoes she was wearing due to the hem of her dress.
I can only console myself in my heart. With Xing Ziyuan's arrogant temperament, he will definitely not wear her embroidered shoes.
But when she woke up, she didn't lack any of her embroidered shoes, but her longevity shoes.
"Zi Yuan, what's wrong with you?" Xie Ning stepped back and sat down on a chair in the hall.
As long as you stay farther away from Xing Ziyuan and lower down, you can see the embroidered shoes she is wearing.
"Ziyuan, why do you walk on tiptoes?" Xie Ning asked.
From under the hem of her dress, she could only see her tiptoes, and only a little bit of the pattern was like a lotus flower, but it looked like other patterns.
If she didn't stand on tiptoes, she could see clearly.
After Xie Ning sat on the chair, Xing Ziyuan let her look sideways at her feet.
When she asked aloud, Xing Ziyuan walked up to her step by step on tiptoes.
Xie Ning also looked at Xing Ziyuan's feet, walking towards her in such a posture, which made her feel terrified.
Xing Ziyuan walked on tiptoes, but his body was strangely steady.
Just looking at her upper body, it seemed like she was floating.
"You want to see my feet?"
Xing Ziyuan came to Xie Ning, stood in front of her, and blocked Xie Ning in the chair, so that she could only watch as Xing Ziyuan pulled up the hem of her skirt.
Under the hem of the skirt is a pair of birthday shoes that Xie Ning will never forget in her life.
It's the pair of longevity shoes she took off from the dead man's feet.
——And that dead person was her concubine.
The Xie family has been in decline in recent years, and their business has been declining year by year. They are almost unable to survive in Yunze City, a city where they spend a lot of money.
Several young ladies from the Xie family are planning to get married when they get hairpins, and the Xie family master has already made an appointment for each of them.
Although Xie Ning's concubine Xie Man is a concubine, she is favored by the Sun family, second only to the Xing family in Yunze City.
Mr. Xie's family thought that he could get help from the Sun family and return the Xie family to their former wealthy life.
Xie Man, however, had a private life-long arrangement with a servant of the Xie family, and the Sun family even learned about their elopement.
The Sun family was so angry that they not only failed to help the Xie family, but also made it difficult for the Xie family to move forward in Yunze City.
Sherman left, and when Xie Ning saw her again, Sherman had become a cold and terrifying corpse.
I don’t know who put the shroud and shoes on her body.
Xie Ning didn't even know why the man asked her to take off Xie Man's longevity shoes.
All she knew was that the Xing family was out of reach, and that man said that as long as he followed what he said, he could get countless money.
That way, she wouldn't have to marry Xing Juzhan as a concubine.
"Ziyuan, these embroidered shoes are mine a long time ago. They are old. I will give you a new pair." Xie Ning's lips couldn't stop trembling.
"These are my embroidered shoes, why did you take away my embroidered shoes?"
Xie Ning was stunned for a moment.
For a moment, I couldn't tell whether this was what Xing Ziyuan said or whether it was her dead concubine.
"These shoes are old and can't be worn anymore." Xie Ning could only pray that Xing Ziyuan was playing tricks on her.
Dead man's shoes, nothing will happen if you wear them, right?
She didn't care if something happened to Xing Ziyuan, she was just afraid that her concubine's ghost would haunt Xing Ziyuan, and she would get angry if she took off her longevity shoes.
"Where is it old? Isn't this still new?" Xing Ziyuan lifted the soles of his feet.
When Xie Ning saw the soles of the shoes, he was so shocked that he fell down on his chair.
Xing Ziyuan walked all the way without any dirt on the soles of his shoes.
The soles of the shoes are all white, like a piece of white paper. Upon closer inspection, they are indeed a piece of white paper.
How can any living person's embroidered shoes have soles made of white paper?
These are not the same pair of longevity shoes on the feet of Sherman's corpse!
"Sister, eldest sister." Xie Ning stuttered.
Xing Ziyuan suddenly smiled and reached out to stroke Xie Ning's cheek.
The lips covered with bright red lipstick opened slightly, "Good sister."
Xie Ning lost all strength and sat on the chair in despair.
After Xie Ning left the Xing Mansion, a servant came to report and asked Xing Ziyuan to go to the dining hall to eat.
Xing Ziyuan seemed not to have heard what the servant said and went straight to the boudoir.
"If I'm not mistaken, Xing Ziyuan is wearing longevity shoes, right?" Yan Yan raised his eyebrows, "No wonder she is haunted by the female ghost. The female ghost has no shoes to wear, so he has to stalk her."
Stepping on the lotus, I ascend to the western sky.
No living person would dare to embroider lotus flowers on their shoes.
