The sky outside became dark, and the servant girl holding the rooster in the auditorium began to salute.
One bow to heaven and earth, two bows to the high hall, and three bows to the coffin. No one sang, but the ceremony was completed.
The two high-ranking officials at the main table drank the tea with expressionless expressions, having completed their tasks, and then left the table and left through the back door.
Shi Ying finished watching the mime in silence, and followed the maid as she carried the rooster out of the front hall and prepared to take it to the wedding room.
Now the main plot should be over, but Yingying still has no idea how to clear the game. Since this is the Xue Mansion, today is the wedding of the only son of the Xue family represented by this rooster. Maybe you will gain something by following this rooster.
.
After stepping out of the wedding hall, Shi Ying felt her head buzzing. At this moment, all the sounds returned, as if the program had been unmuted by pressing the mute button.
The sound of wind, birds, insects, walking and whispering all appeared.
Shi Ying couldn't help but stop and adapt for a moment.
When she came back to her senses, the servant girl who had just followed her had long disappeared, and she was in a corridor that led to an unknown place, with unfamiliar scenery in front, back, and left.
Two women dressed as maids were passing by each other talking to each other. The sound of walking and whispering that Shi Ying heard just now must be from them.
Shi Ying tried to ask for directions: "Excuse me, how can I get to the front hall?"
The two maids continued talking and walked forward as if they hadn't heard.
Shi Ying opened her mouth, wondering if she should ask again. She felt bad after just speaking. She shouldn't have talked to people just now.
At this time, the maids who had walked to the front suddenly turned around, their bodies still facing forward, and turned their heads directly behind their backs, facing Shi Ying. The maid on the left said expressionlessly: "Are the guests going to the front hall?
, just go straight and turn right to the end.”
After saying that, they didn't turn around anymore. The two of them just kept their current actions and stared at Shi Ying blankly.
Shi Ying was frightened to death, but she still politely said thank you.
Seeing that the two maids refused to leave, she walked by herself. Keep going straight as mentioned just now, turn right when you see the fork in the road, and walk straight for more than ten steps, you will see the house behind the bamboo forest.
It's just that the size is not the same as the front hall that held so many people just now. Shi Ying sighed, you really shouldn't believe the ghosts, especially the ghosts.
Adhering to the principle of come and go, Shi Ying decided to go in and take a look.
It is impossible to leave a useless room in a haunted house, and there is someone to guide her there. Maybe this is an important plot point, or of course it may be an unimportant plot point.
Anyway, there's no harm in taking a look, right?
At this time, the sky had darkened, and a lamp was lit in the house not far away. Through the swaying shadow of the window, Shi Ying judged that there was someone inside.
Or maybe there is a ghost.
The door was ajar, Shi Ying knocked twice, but no one answered.
She pushed the door open with a slight movement and entered. The room was indeed not big. It was divided into two rooms, the inside and the outside. Shi Ying came in from the outside room. There was no light in the outside room, but the light from the inside room could give a general view of the environment outside. The people inside
The furniture style all looks very ordinary, with certain signs of use, and it is not an unoccupied room.
The figure I just saw should be in the inner room. There are lights inside, and some scenes in the inner room can be seen through the half curtain. There are makeup mirrors and makeup packages on the table, and red skirts are hanging from the shelves.
When I saw the red skirt, my heart tightened. Could this be the room of the bride who just lay in the coffin?
Why was she not lying in the coffin and going back to her room? Even if she went back to her room, shouldn't she go to her wedding room tonight? This small shabby room has no decoration at all. The size is neither a young lady's boudoir nor a newlywed's room. It should be a guest room.
room like that.
Moreover, the proprietress of the ready-made clothing shop said the term "the only son of the Xue family", which shows that there will not be a boudoir for a young lady in the mansion. This bride should be temporarily staying in the mansion. She may be a relative, a guest, or the daughter-in-law bought by the Xue family with money.
Spending money to buy a daughter-in-law has not been uncommon since ancient times, and it is reasonable for Shi Ying to speculate like this.
This kind of thing is very likely to happen in an only-child family. Especially when I saw that the groom did not show up in the front hall today, it seems that it is very likely that the groom cannot make his own decisions. His parents want to marry him and force the bride to marry.
To a half-dead or dead son, the marriage that they had to do whether they were alive or dead has now become a matter of life or death in a literal sense.
Shiying was thinking a lot outside, and suddenly she heard a vague "Come in", interrupting her thoughts, leaving her unsure whether to go in or run away.
Thinking of the possible comments from her colleagues after escaping, she still went in bravely.
A graceful-looking little beauty in a wedding dress sat beside the bed, her legs dangling leisurely, and she tilted her head to look at Shi Ying who came in.
"You are today's guest. I saw you just now." The crisp voice said with an affirmative tone.
Shi Ying nodded, but shouldn't this girl have been in the coffin just now? Wasn't she the one in the coffin? Then where is she? Is she pretending to be a guest and attending the ceremony?
One of Shi Ying's few advantages was that she didn't get entangled, she asked the question directly.
"Hehe, I was in the coffin just now, but I can see all of you~"
After saying that, the style of the painting changed, the shaking movement stopped, the body leaned forward, looking at Shi Ying with dark eyes, and his voice had a hint of danger: "What are you doing here?"
Shi Ying felt a kind of oppression, which made her very uncomfortable. Her mind raced, thinking about how she should answer to satisfy this indistinguishable little girl.
