Chapter 121: Departure (There will be a major revision later, buy it after the title changes)
At dawn, the door of the Huang Mansion opened wide, and the eldest son of the Huang Mansion rushed back with his family.
Tao Zi did not go there, nor did he need to go there, but his wife came.
The eldest young master's wife is named An Yu. She was the wife chosen by Madam Huang for her eldest son, who was registered under her name.
She bowed and said, "I greet the immortal."
"sit."
Tao Zi asked her to sit down, and she took the opportunity to sit down.
"The haunted incident was resolved thanks to the intervention of several immortals, otherwise our Huang Mansion would have been in chaos."
Xi Jing smiled and said, "No, to be honest, we didn't contribute much. It was all just a coincidence."
Whether it was a brothel or a storyteller, they almost all bumped into each other on their own.
Therefore, Xi Jing did not exaggerate their contributions.
An Yu shook his head solemnly and said, "If it weren't for the immortals, many more people would have died."
That's true.
Tao Zi then asked, "How are Madam Huang's funeral arrangements going?"
"According to the rules, the body should be kept for seven days. My mother had said before she died that extravagance and waste were not allowed. As for the burial objects, they have already been agreed upon. A painting will be enough."
An Yu hesitated for a while when she spoke this, not knowing whether she should pollute the immortal's ears with these trivial matters, but since the immortal asked, she might as well continue.
"The immortals have all seen that painting, the one in the living room."
Xi Jing became curious and asked, "What's so special about that painting?"
An Yu's expression froze for a moment before she continued nonchalantly, "It's said that the people depicted in the painting are my mother and a close friend, and the painter was that friend."
"They must have a very good relationship."
An Yu also sighed a little, and said: "That person was the only close friend that my mother recognized, but he has passed away."
Xi Jing nodded in understanding: "I see."
Tao Zi took a sip of tea on the side.
An Yu suddenly looked at her and said, "I shouldn't have come to disturb the Immortal so early. It's just that my husband heard that the Immortal was the last one to see his mother, so he wanted to talk to the Immortal. But he was afraid that the Immortal would not agree, so he asked me to ask. If the Immortal is willing, my husband will come immediately."
Tao Zi put down the teacup and said, "No need, I'll go over."
Her expression changed, and she practiced her voice, "The immortals can't do that, so how can I let you pass?"
"It doesn't matter. I happen to be free. Let's go."
Tao Zi stood up and walked over.
When we arrived at the lobby, the eldest son of the Huang family was already waiting there.
He is already in his forties, but because his father is reluctant to hand over power, he is still the eldest son of the Huang family.
When he saw Tao Zi's face, he was stunned for a moment, but quickly retracted his incredible thoughts and said, "Huang has seen an immortal."
"No need to be so polite. Is there anything I can help you with, Mr. Huang?"
He looked at his wife silently, and she retreated with the servants.
Huang carefully considered his words and said, "I heard that you were the last person my mother saw before she passed away?"
"Yes, what's the problem?"
"No problem, but..."
He paused, expressing his concern, before continuing, "My mother has a very precious hairpin. Does the immortal know where it is?"
Tao Zi glanced at him, and he immediately bowed his head and apologized: "I am not questioning the immortal. It's just that the hairpin has special meaning to my mother, so I have to ask. If the immortal is angry, I will punish myself immediately."
"No problem."
She looked at him and said bluntly, "Mrs. Huang said that we are destined to be together, so she gave me that hairpin. Is there any problem?"
Her attitude was too calm and composed to arouse any suspicion, but the dagger in her sleeve was already ready to strike.
Young Master Huang breathed a sigh of relief and said repeatedly, "My mother previously stated that she wanted the hairpin buried with her, so I had to look for it. Now that it's like this, there's nothing else to worry about. Please, Immortal, please make this trip."
Tao Zi couldn't see anything unusual and said, "Young Master Huang is alright, but I do have something to ask you."
He immediately said, "Please tell me, Immortal. I will tell you everything I know."
"We received the reward from Mr. Huang. When will Mr. Huang return? Then we can settle this matter."
Young Master Huang fell silent for a long moment before he said with a wistful expression, "Father had an accident while traveling for business, and he hasn't been found yet. This matter falls to Huang."
Tao Zi looked at the false sadness in his eyes, raised her eyebrows, and said, "What are you going to do about Mr. Huang's matter?"
"Keep looking for him." He looked strange for a moment. "Mother once said that if someone is buried in the Huang Mansion, there must be a body. If...eh."
Tao Zi said: "In that case, I'll take my leave."
"Go slowly, Immortal."
She walked out of the lobby and looked at the Huang Mansion where white cloth was everywhere and everyone was wearing white clothes, and her mood returned to normal.
It seemed that Ayuan had already taken the man's life himself, so there was no need for her to take action.
And it seems that this young master has no intention of offering sacrifices to his father, which is really interesting.
Xi Jing looked at her senior sister not far away, hesitating and not daring to go forward. She always felt that her senior sister was not in a good mood, even though she had a smile on her face.
On her way back, Huang Shiqing was wandering around her yard.
As soon as he saw her, he stopped and saluted.
"What is it?"
She was dressed in white and hesitantly asked, "Immortal, may I ask what my mother said before she passed away?"
"If it's about the Huang Mansion, then there is none."
Huang Shiqing's eyes darkened, and he whispered, "Sorry to bother you, Immortal."
Watching the little girl walk away, Xi Jing couldn't help but say, "How sad and pitiful."
Tao Zi didn't say anything.
After Mrs. Huang was buried, Tao Zi and the others took the gold and left.
The flower monk still followed them stubbornly, and this time no one refused him. After all, he was a Buddhist practitioner. Neither Li Xiu nor Tao Zi would refuse the joining of such a powerful fighting force.
The Taoist priest followed them because he was traveling the same way.
After the group left, a handsome young man appeared in an inn outside the Huang Mansion.
The man with a scar on his face said, "This is what happened. Madam Huang is dead. Deacon, what should we do?"
The young man took a sip of wine and asked, "Are there any suspicious circumstances surrounding Madam Huang's death?"
"none."
The scarred man took another step forward and said, "The clues that Senior Sister left for the Hall Master point to Madam Huang. It's a shame we discovered it too late. We didn't arrive in time. What should we do now?"
The deacon said, "Stay a while longer and pay your respects to Madam Huang when no one is watching. After all, she is a trusted friend of Senior Sister."
"yes."
"As for the clues... I believe Senior Sister wouldn't leave only this one, so let's look for more. Tell the brothers not to lose track of their whereabouts, and don't be impulsive."
The young man put down his wine, his eyes stern and murderous: "Brothers, please be patient. There is no need to rush. Even if we can't find the real culprit, we will have to send those people to be buried with our sister in the end!"
"yes!"
