Seeing that Lin Yan was silent, Mr. Xiao continued, "Shuqin, are you still angry with me after all these years? Don't worry, that woman is dead. As long as you want, you can become Mrs. Xiao at any time!"
The world is so chaotic.
Lin Yan was a little scared when he heard that, and looked at Shen Yaoyao and the others for help.
Shen Cangzhu glanced at Third Yiniang, and finally stepped forward and struck Mr. Xiao on the back of the neck, knocking him unconscious.
"master!"
Third Yi Niang covered her mouth with her hands and exclaimed, looking at Mr. Xiao who had passed out on the ground with wide eyes.
"Brother, why did you knock him unconscious?" Seeing this, Shen Yaoyao also felt that he was careless.
Shen Cangzhu did not answer his words, but said to Third Yiniang, "Third Madam, Mr. Xiao is unconscious. In order to prevent him from being stimulated and aggravating his condition, I had to knock him unconscious. Please forgive me, madam."
…
Third Yiniang came to her senses and asked Shen Cangzhu to help carry Mr. Xiao back to the bed, then drove them out of the door.
Lin Yan originally had a lot of questions, but he was kicked out by his third wife.
"What's going on?" Shen Cangzhu was a little dissatisfied with Third Yiniang's behavior, and at the same time turned his attention to Lin Yan.
"You should know the inside story of what just happened, right?"
"I don't know." Lin Yan shook his head decisively, "If I want to know, am I still as confused as you?"
Shen Cangzhu's words also reminded Shen Yaoyao, "Speaking of this, I have heard such a story in rumors before.
Lin Yan, the Shuqin that Master Xiao captured just now that you have been talking about must be your mother, right?"
The topic turned to him again, and Lin Yan was quite confused, "I don't have a good relationship with the people in Xiao Mansion. This rumor is no longer a secret, so how can I know about their affairs?"
"Really?" Shen Yaoyao was a little suspicious, "But I heard that when your mother brought you to the Xiao Mansion eight years ago, the eldest lady at that time suffered from mental illness and died for no apparent reason.
Many people think this has something to do with your mother, and the fact that Mr. Xiao pulled you to say those words when he was unconscious just now shows that Mr. Xiao and your mother should have a close relationship."
Lin Yan opened his mouth and was speechless.
He didn't remember much about the original owner's mother. He only saw in his memory that every time Mr. Xiao came to see the original owner's mother, the original owner's mother didn't want to see him.
When necessary, the original owner's mother would always push the original owner out of the door and deal with Mr. Xiao on her own.
However, Shen Yaoyao's words also gave him a bold guess.
If the female ghost I met when I was with Rong Ying last night was really the eldest lady in life.
Does that mean that Mr. Xiao once admired the original owner's mother, but the original owner's mother always rejected Mr. Xiao and refused to accept him, because they are cousins after all.
But Mr. Xiao may not think so. What he thinks is that the original owner's mother refused to accept him because she didn't want to be a child.
That's why Mr. Xiao plotted against the eldest lady. The so-called unruly wives and adulterers were all false. He originally wanted to get rid of the eldest lady.
If that's the case, then why did the female ghost come towards him last night with a look of deep hatred? Everything makes sense. She just hates him. It should be said that she hates his mother and wants to cut him into pieces. .
Thinking of this, Lin Yan asked the brother and sister again, "Did you hear the sound of opera singing when you were exorcising ghosts last night?"
"The sound of opera singing? No." Shen Yaoyao was a little confused.
But Shen Cangzhu said seriously, "Did you really encounter a ghost? Was the talisman I gave you last night useless?"
When the talisman paper was mentioned again, Lin Yan was speechless for a moment, but then he thought about it and told them what happened last night.
Of course, Rong Ying didn't say that part.
After listening, the two of them were silent for a while, with different expressions on their faces.
"So you suspect that the singing voice is that of the eldest lady during her lifetime?" Shen Cangzhu said.
Shen Yaoyao also thought of something and added to him.
"In front of the yard where Lin Yan lived last night, there was a dead locust tree. The locust tree belongs to the yin category. If the eldest lady was really unjustly killed, she would have already turned into a vicious ghost if she stayed in this environment all year round after her death. .
This should not be difficult to explain why other little ghosts dare not approach the yard."
Lin Yan didn't think as much as they did. He felt that the reason those brats didn't dare to approach the courtyard was probably because the target was there, not the eldest lady.
