Seeing that his past was exposed, Mr. Shao's face turned red.
"They are all romantic debts from youth. Who doesn't have some past when they were young?"
Hearing his trickery, Mrs. Shao rolled her eyes at him.
She was too lazy to think about these things now. After all, everyone in the mansion was having a hard time.
Speaking of which, Yin Huan gradually understood.
After all, the protagonists are the eldest sister Shao Shengan and the second sister Shao Shuxuan.
One is bright and passionate, the other is calm and reserved. The eldest daughter, Shao Sheng'an, entered the palace last year and became a concubine. The second daughter, Shao Shuxuan, and the other sisters are all waiting to be married...
Shao Sheng'an is the eldest daughter, born to Mrs. Shao. The second daughter, Shao Shuxuan, is born to a concubine. However, her mother died unexpectedly half a year ago. She was originally a taciturn person, and this time she is even more dumb.
The eldest daughter was highly regarded in the palace and brought honor to the family, while the second daughter was timid and submissive. Her eyes would turn red and she would shed tears after just a few words, which was a world of difference from her sister.
Although Mr. Shao has many concubines, Mrs. Shao is indeed a magnanimous person. She acts like a mother and never blames others.
The two sisters are only two years apart in age and have the same teacher and grandmother, so why are their personalities so different?
But Mr. Shao didn't think much about it. After all, Shao Shuxuan's biological mother was a gentle person and couldn't be treated harshly.
It's not an exaggeration to say that he inherited his mother's true teachings, after all, he also fell for it.
No man can refuse tenderness, let alone a businessman like him, with thousands of women around his waist, so naturally people will rush to him.
As time went by, he could no longer resist the temptation, and when he was young he lived a life of debauchery and ease.
But when he got older and could no longer play, he stopped going out to embarrass himself and instead married her back home.
Seeing that Shao Shuxuan was ready to find a husband, Mr. Shao helped her to choose several suitable sons for her.
But Shao Shuxuan was not satisfied. She cried and said that her mother had only been gone for half a year and her father was already looking for a relative for her. What was his intention?
Mr. Shao said helplessly that the person is gone, people are looking forward, your mother must also hope that you will choose a good family.
In fact, there is another reason why he is so anxious.
He wanted to have some connections with the imperial court, so he chose sons of important officials in the court.
So those people have always been self-righteous and looked down on the daughters of merchants, but they are also coveting the money in their hands, hoping that they can lend a helping hand to themselves.
If I marry a daughter, I will have one more way to make money in the future. Besides, the eldest daughter was taken into the palace by the emperor because of her excellent business acumen. Many people in the court are trying to marry me.
Shao Shuxuan obviously understood this and refused verbally.
But Master Shao got angry and slapped her in the face, telling her that she was not allowed to disobey her father no matter who she was.
He also held a flower viewing party, inviting the sons of dignitaries that he liked to come to his home to appreciate the flowers, and forced Shao Shuxuan to pick a good man from them.
Nothing happened at first. Shao Shuxuan just cried, sobbing and crying until her eyes were red and swollen.
But things became wrong afterwards. Shao Shuxuan's temperament changed drastically. At certain times, his eyes turned red and he started hitting people like crazy, and several people couldn't stop him.
Her strength became extremely great, and she became irrational. She even ran out of the yard and killed several people who were about to stop her with her bare hands.
Upon hearing this, Yin Huan's brows were twisted into the shape of a "川" character.
"What did you say you killed him with?"
Thinking of the scene that day, Mr. Shao was already drenched in cold sweat as he spoke.
He said tremblingly, "Hand."
Yes, pierce his chest with your hand, pull his head off with your bare hands, and then kick it into his arms.
Not to mention the blood-stained ground, as soon as he entered the yard, something flying towards him.
He caught it subconsciously, and when he looked closely, he saw it was a head. He looked into the eyes and was so frightened that he screamed and fainted.
When she woke up later, she heard that Shao Shuxuan had fainted, and everyone tied her up and threw her back to her room.
Killing someone with bare hands is totally not something a normal person can do. It must be someone who is possessed!
The Shao family had no choice but to find Taoist priests to catch demons and exorcise monsters, but most of them did not tell the truth and just scammed money and ran away.
A few people came close to Shao Shuxuan and were slapped to death by Shao Shuxuan.
There was no other way, so after receiving some advice from others, he began to practice faith in a more positive way.
When Shao Shuxuan was not sick, she was no different from usual. She sat gently by the window, exuding a unique melancholy temperament, just like her mother.
Of course, the fact that she was possessed was suppressed by the Shao family and was not allowed to be told to outsiders.
The rest of the sisters have been sent to a winery in the countryside.
In the past few days, Shao Shuxuan's illness has become more and more frequent, and he prefers to stay up late at night when everyone is asleep, which has resulted in him visiting the mansion less and less.
But she usually only killed people around her house and returned to the house after killing them. Mr. Shao and the others were far away from her, so nothing happened to her.
Yin Huan didn't understand.
"So many people died, why didn't you report it to the authorities?"
Mrs. Shao spoke with a guilty look on her face.
"It would be so embarrassing to report to the police. Besides, these slaves were bought with silver and are not worth much. They can die if they want, but the Shao family cannot lose face. Sheng An is still in the palace. If someone tells them about it, it will be bad for Sheng An..."
Mrs. Shao was worried about her daughter, which caused her to worry day and night, and she had more crow's feet at the corners of her eyes.
After hearing this bizarre reason and Shao Shuxuan's change, Yin Huan felt very strange.
demon?
Why didn't I feel any strange aura when I entered the house? Is it because my cultivation is too low?
She just felt that the yard was dead and dull.
"Where is the second sister now?"
Yin Huan wants to go and see.
Mr. Shao suddenly looked serious, as if he had thought of something.
"She? She has been locked in the room, mumbling all day long. People saw her talking to the mirror for a long, long time."
Mr. Shao felt very depressed, and his concubine also suffered a tragic death.
Mrs. Shao added another sentence beside it.
"She also loved to touch her face and talk to herself, with admiration in her eyes. Yes, she also wrote a lot of love poems, but as far as we know, she didn't have anyone she loved, and those love poems seemed to be expressed to a woman."
Hearing this, Yin Huan fell silent, while Bai Yunshu laughed.
"It's not strange to write love poems for men or women, but your daughter is indeed abnormal. Lead the way, so we can go and see for sure."
Bai Yunshu gestured that Mr. Shao didn't dare to go, and just asked the housekeeper to take them there.
Because now, it is already evening.
