Chapter 114 My Master Chef

Oh my God!

Lao Chang felt goosebumps all over his body, but even though he had already refused, the man still had an "I understand, I understand" look in his eyes, patted him on the shoulder and walked away.

"Xiaoliu."

Old Chang's thoughts were still on Huazhi when the old man sitting high up called him.

He didn't react at first until he felt the surroundings suddenly become quiet, and all the noisy music seemed to be paused in an instant.

Lao Chang raised his head and found that everyone's eyes were fixed on him.

Cold sweat spread all over his body. Old Chang opened his mouth, then suddenly realized something and laughed playfully as if coming back to his senses, "Grandpa, are you calling your grandson?"

"It's all because of that Huazhi girl today. She really caught my attention and distracted me. I almost didn't hear what you said. Damn it!"

After he said this, the surroundings suddenly became noisy again. People were chatting and singing as if the sudden silence had never appeared.

The old man smiled, a rare smile. "Those who survive a great disaster will surely have good fortune in the future. The doctor your father hired said you're well now. Are you still feeling unwell?"

"Thank you for your concern, grandpa. I am doing very well and all my illnesses have been cured."

The old man nodded and sighed deeply, "You are the only one left in the eldest branch of the family. This banquet tonight is also for you to get rid of your bad luck."

"You must not make any mistakes, otherwise your father and mother will die."

Hearing the old man's words, Master Yin nodded with deep feeling, but the eldest wife snorted and laughed, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Although Lao Chang was sensible, he knew that if he really allowed himself to drink too much in such an occasion, that would be a dead end.

But I still forced him to drink two or three cups.

I wasn't drunk, but I still felt a little unsteady on my feet.

So when he was helped back to the room, he didn't realize at first that there was another person in the room besides him. He just fell onto the bed in a daze, blinking his eyes and still not falling asleep.

He got kicked hard on the butt!

"Ouch!"

Old Chang cried out in pain and was about to look up and curse, but he quickly shut his mouth as soon as he opened his eyes. After checking several times, he looked around and got up and closed the doors and windows. "My master chef, you are finally here!"

"What are you talking about, Master Liu?"

"My humble daughter, Huazhi, is here to serve you tonight."

Seeing the woman in front of him speaking shyly with her head down, Lao Chang raised his hands and begged for mercy, "Master Chef, Auntie! I'm already old, please stop teasing me."

"How on earth are we supposed to get out?"

Shi Yu sat on the bed and finally couldn't help laughing. "I think my acting was pretty good. How do you know I'm not the real Huazhi?"

"Maybe the flower branches will look like me."

In fact, Shi Yu was brought in at noon today to replace the real flower branches.

However, everyone in the Yin family was extremely wary of outsiders like them. Before the dinner began, there were already regulations on what they should eat and drink.

Even when going to the toilet, there are special people following you.

It’s not that Shi Yu couldn’t find an opportunity to escape, but the situation was still unclear at that time, and she might ruin things because of her presumptuous decision.

For example, if Young Master Liu chose someone else to be buried with him, or if some special circumstances occurred, it would be difficult to make up for it.

I just waited until night.

Shi Yu did not expect that the crucial Young Master Liu was actually Old Chang, and it was effortless for him to get him.

"Oh no." Old Chang also laughed, "Master, please stop joking. The girls in those Qinlou and Chuguan don't have the boldness in their eyes."

"Others may not be able to see it, but let's not talk about anything else. I still think I know you a little bit."

In fact, Lao Chang had already said it in a subtle way. Shi Yu was not brave at all. He was fearless. If it weren't for Lao Chang, cleaning up the grave would be like a piece of cake for him.

But now Old Chang is still trapped here. To put it bluntly, the current Old Chang is the Young Master Liu. If the cemetery is gone, Old Chang will be gone too.

Otherwise, Shi Yu wouldn't have to be so restrained.

"I've been here for a few days. Have you found anything?"

Old Chang shook his head helplessly, then added, "Does it count if we discover that this Young Master Liu is having an affair with his father's concubine?"

"Oh, there's more."

Old Chang suddenly became serious. "Although there is no evidence, from my observation, Master Liu's death last time was probably not due to illness, but poisoning."

"Wait." Before Lao Chang could finish his words, Shi Yu raised his hand and interrupted him, "You said he died last time? What do you mean?"

"Could it be that this Little Sixth Master has already died once?"

Lao Chang was also confused, "You don't know about this?"

"Hualzhi didn't tell me!" Shi Yu reacted as soon as he finished speaking. According to the timeline, Huazhi was called to the dinner party held for Master Xiaoliu, and she should not have known about the previous events.

Seeing this, Lao Chang explained the whole story in detail again.

Fortunately, tonight Shi Yu can stay in Lao Chang's house openly under the identity of Huazhi. This behavior is not unusual and will not attract other people's attention.

"That's roughly what happened. However, I've learned a bit about medicine over the years, and the condition that this young Master Liu is experiencing is indeed more consistent with poisoning, and a chronic poison at that. I just don't know who did it."

"This person must have regular access to Little Six's food, clothing, and daily necessities in order to slowly and secretly take action."

In fact, Lao Chang had some guesses in his mind, but he didn't say it, for fear that it would affect Shi Yu's judgment.

But how could Shi Yu be affected? "Since it's something that can't be figured out in a short time, then there's no need to figure it out. Everyone in this house has to die anyway, so it doesn't matter who it is."

Lao Chang: "...It is indeed the style of the master chef."

"So what should we do next?"

Shi Yu was silent for a moment and then asked, "Since your master is the one who sealed the Yin residence back then, did he tell you anything special about this place that you need to pay attention to?"

"Or rather, I taught you some sealing method."

After asking for a while, looking at Lao Chang's clear eyes, Shi Yu knew that it was all in vain.

"But Master, from what I see now, although this house is strange, it's still a normal house. How did it become a ghost house in the living world later? Could this transformation be related to the seal?"

“Bang, bang, bang!”

At the moment when Shi Yu's eyes lit up, there was a sudden violent knock on the door, a very impolite one, "Master Xiao Liu, I am here to help you take a bath. Please open the door."
