Two pretty maids surrounded Li Chong, showing concern for his well-being. Normally, Li Chong would naturally joke around with them.
At this moment, he looked at the two maids who were eager to please him and said breathlessly, "You two, go, go to Li Yunyan's courtyard and pack up everything inside!"
"If this matter is accomplished, I... will take you as my concubines!"
"Li Yunyan?"
The two maids were stunned for a moment before they remembered who the name belonged to.
"Young Miss?"
The maid's eyes showed a hint of disdain. The young lady's former courtyard was not as spacious as their place as servants!
"Yes, stop asking! Go now!"
Li Chong has recovered a bit and started walking briskly forward again.
"Oh! Okay! We'll go right away!"
With huge profits at their fingertips, the two maids forgot about their young master and ran ahead.
The young master hasn't married a wife yet, and there are only a few maids in the courtyard who have been given sexual favors, but none of them have been promoted to concubines. If they fulfill the young master's orders, then they will be considered half-mistresses in the future!
If I could give birth to the eldest son before the young mistress enters the family, then the future... just thinking about it is wonderful!
They knew the way, and being young and strong, they quickly reached the small courtyard where Li Yunyan used to live.
This little courtyard doesn't even have a name.
Pushing open the half-closed, dilapidated wooden door, one's eyes are met with a dead pear tree in the middle of the small courtyard. The row of small flower pots that were once neatly arranged in the corner of the wall are now all dead, and the flower pots have been smashed.
At this moment, the two maids didn't know what they were supposed to be tidying up in this courtyard. After taking a few more steps, their pupils suddenly widened!
This courtyard has only three rooms: the main hall in the middle and a small side room on each side.
At this moment, the main room was covered with yellow talismans!
Not only that, but there was a small wooden figure on the table, covered in blood, as if it had been soaked in blood!
Upon entering the house, besides the yellow talisman, there were several pieces of clothing on the floor whose original color was no longer discernible, all stained with blood.
A maid recognized the pattern on one of the dresses; she had seen the young lady wear it before. This is the young lady's dress!
"Ah!!!" she exclaimed in surprise!
Could this be... for the young lady's dojo?!
But the young lady—she's clearly not dead!
no!
The young lady married the Lord of the Seal! She became the Lady of the Seal!
They seem to be in the mansion right now!
They suddenly realized the seriousness of the situation!
If the young lady were to take a stroll in the courtyard, the current state of the house would undoubtedly lead to a catastrophe!
No wonder the young master looked so anxious!
"Quickly! Pack it up!" the maid shouted!
The two maids hurriedly began to pick up the things on the ground, but firstly, they were in a panic, and secondly, there were just too many yellow papers on the ground, so they couldn't finish picking them up in a short time!
They suddenly felt the light at the doorway being blocked.
I turned around nervously and found a row of people standing at the door.
Upon closer inspection, the leader was tall and imposing, with narrowed black eyes that swept over them with a sinister, knife-like gaze.
It's the Lord of the Seal!
The two were so frightened that they fell to the ground with a thud!
His voice was so cold it could freeze you, and he asked in a chilling tone, "What are you doing?"
Yun Yi was filled with murderous intent. He had originally intended to find a pretext to deal with the Li family, but he never expected to witness this scene.
This desolate and remote courtyard, this hall full of melodrama and where the dead can never be reincarnated, made him no longer need to find any excuse; he immediately wanted to raze the entire Li family mansion!
Li Yunyan sensed Yun Yi's anger and gently squeezed his hand that was on her waist.
She could vividly imagine the scene: those two wicked people, Huang and Li Shuang, had planned from the beginning to kill her. However, they were also filled with fear, afraid that her vengeful spirit would come to haunt them and demand their lives. So, seeking some psychological comfort, the two of them actually performed a strange ritual in the room where she had once lived.
When she saw the scene before her, even though she was mentally prepared, she couldn't help but gasp – in the center of the room stood a lifelike wooden doll with a twisted and ferocious face, as if it were giving her a sinister laugh; the ground was splattered with clothes, talismans, and bright red dog blood, emitting a nauseating stench.
Such a scene is absolutely horrifying!
Moreover, the props used in the rituals seemed particularly sinister.
There were strangely shaped talismans, dilapidated bronze mirrors, and incense burners emitting an eerie glow. All of this exuded a strong sense of evil, as if it were about to devour the entire space.
She clenched her fists in anger, cursing inwardly: "Huang Shi and Li Shuang are so heartless and cruel! They not only want her dead, but they also want her to suffer the consequences of her death! They've gone to such lengths for the sake of their petty interests in the inner quarters. They've truly lost all humanity!"
At the same time, she felt extremely sad. The original owner was innocent and had never done anything wrong, yet she was unknowingly schemed against to such an extent! Fortunately, heaven had eyes and allowed her to come here and witness this ugly farce.
At this moment, she made up her mind to make those two culprits pay the price they deserved, to console the original owner of the body for the suffering she had endured!
In fact, Li Yunyan only guessed half of it correctly.
Huang was a strong-willed woman. Even if she caused the death of one or two people, she felt no fear or remorse and would never think of performing a ritual.
This ritual was secretly arranged by Li Shuang because she was afraid.
Later, Li Chong found out and joined in. He was the one who had people find the wooden figures and the dog blood!
And those clothes, he found them in Li Yunyan's closet!
When Li Shuang arrived here, her legs were so weak that she could not stand and knelt down on the spot.
Li Wenjin was utterly astonished. He never imagined that his eldest daughter, who had always lived in such a courtyard, was not even as well-liked as the maids in his own courtyard!
That's fine! But what's going on with this main hall where a religious ceremony was clearly performed?
Who died?
"Huang! What's going on?!"
This time, he wasn't acting; he was genuinely completely unaware and utterly astonished.
Huang was shivering; she had no idea how things had turned out this way.
She originally thought it was just a matter of the yard being a little dilapidated and dirty, nothing serious!
Looking at her daughter who had collapsed to the ground, she understood perfectly well what was going on!
How could this daughter be so stupid?!
She was both anxious and angry. Clutching her chest, she collapsed!
