Chapter 141 Shu Xuan's Strange Events
Seeing that his past was exposed, Mr. Shao's face turned red.
"These are all romantic debts from our youth. Who doesn't have some past when they were young?"
Hearing his sophistry, Mrs. Shao rolled her eyes at him.
She was too lazy to care about these things now. After all, no one in the mansion was having a good time right now.
As it was said later, Yin Huan gradually understood.
After all, the protagonists are the eldest daughter Shao Shengan and the second daughter 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 rest of her sisters are all waiting to be married...
Shao Sheng'an is the eldest daughter, born to Mrs. Shao, and the second daughter, Shao Shuxuan, is born to a concubine. However, her biological mother died unexpectedly half a year ago. She was originally a taciturn person, and this time she was even more like a mute.
The eldest daughter was highly regarded in the palace and brought honor to the family, while the second daughter was timid and her eyes would turn red and she would cry after just a few words. She was a world apart from her sister.
Although Mr. Shao has many concubines, Mrs. Shao is indeed a magnanimous person. She behaves like a mistress of the house and never criticizes others.
The two sisters are only two years apart in age and have the same teacher and nanny, so why are their personalities so different?
However, 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 skills. After all, he also fell for it.
No man could refuse the land of tenderness, let alone a businessman like him who was wealthy, so naturally there would be people rushing to get him.
Over time, he could no longer resist the temptation, and when he was young, he lived a life of debauchery and freedom.
However, when he got older, he could no longer play around, so he stopped embarrassing himself outside and instead married someone back home.
Seeing that Shao Shuxuan was ready to find a husband, Mr. Shao helped her and selected several suitable families 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 her relatives. What was his intention?
Mr. Shao said helplessly that the person is gone and people have to look 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 establish some connections with the imperial court, so the children he chose were all 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 and hope that they can help them.
If he married a daughter, he would have another way to make money in the future. Moreover, the emperor had taken his eldest daughter into the palace because of her excellent business acumen, and many people in the court were trying to curry favor with him.
Shao Shuxuan obviously understood this and refused verbally.
But Mr. Shao got angry and slapped her in the face, telling her that she was not allowed to disobey anyone but her father.
He also held a flower viewing party, inviting the sons of wealthy and powerful men he liked to come to his home to appreciate the flowers, and forced Shao Shuxuan to choose a good man from among them.
At first, nothing happened. Shao Shuxuan just cried, sobbing, tears streaming down her face, and her eyes were red and swollen.
But things started to go wrong later. Shao Shuxuan's temperament changed drastically. At certain times, his eyes would turn red and he would beat 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 servants who tried to stop her with her own hands.
Upon hearing this, Yin Huan's brows were twisted into a "川" shape.
"What did you say he was killed with?"
Thinking of the scene that day, Mr. Shao was drenched in cold sweat as he spoke.
He said tremblingly, "Hand."
Yes, he pierced the boy’s chest with his hand, twisted his head off with his bare hands, and kicked it into his arms.
Not only was the ground stained red with blood, but as soon as he entered the yard, something flew towards him.
He caught it subconsciously, and when he looked closely, he saw it was a head. His eyes met his own, and he was so scared that he screamed and fainted.
When he woke up later, he heard that Shao Shuxuan had fainted on her own, and everyone tied her up and threw her back to the room.
Killing someone with bare hands is something that no normal person can do. He must be possessed!
The Shao family had no choice but to find Taoist priests to catch demons and monsters, but most of them had no real skills and would run away after cheating people out of their money.
A few capable people approached Shao Shuxuan, but were knocked to the ground and killed by Shao Shuxuan.
There was no other way, so he had to cultivate his faith towards a higher level only after receiving guidance from others.
When Shao Shuxuan was not sick, she was no different from usual. She sat gently by the window, exuding a unique melancholic 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 anyone.
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, especially at night when it is quiet, which has led to fewer and fewer servants in the mansion.
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 it to the authorities. Besides, these slaves were bought with silver and are worthless. If they die, they die. But the Shao family can't lose face. Sheng An is still in the palace. If someone with ulterior motives 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 a lot more crow's feet at the corners of her eyes.
Yin Huan felt very strange after hearing this bizarre reason and Shao Shuxuan's change.
demon?
But why didn't I sense any strange aura when I entered the house? Was it because my cultivation was too low?
She just felt that the yard was dead and dull.
"Where is the second young lady now?"
Yin Huan wanted to go and see.
Mr. Shao suddenly looked serious, as if he had thought of something.
"Her? She's been locked up in the house, mumbling all day long. Someone saw her talking to the mirror for a long, long time."
Mr. Shao was just feeling very depressed because his concubine had also been killed.
Mrs. Shao added another sentence.
"She also loved to touch her face and talk to herself, her eyes full of admiration. Oh, and she also wrote quite a few love poems, but as far as we know, she didn't have anyone she loved. Moreover, those love poems seemed to be directed to a woman."
Hearing this, Yin Huan fell silent, and Bai Yunshu laughed.
"Writing love poems to men and women is not unusual, but your daughter is definitely not normal. Lead the way, so we can go and see for ourselves."
Bai Yunshu gestured, and Mr. Shao didn't dare to go, so he just asked the housekeeper to take them there.
Because now, it is already evening.
