"The lanterns are hung high, and the courtyard is deep."
Looking at Ji Yu who was still staring at the courtyard wall in a daze, Shen Tianchen said anxiously: "Sister Ji Yu, it's almost dark, and the old man hasn't come to find you yet."
Ji Yu took a deep breath and carefully counted in her mind how many times the little guy had repeated this sentence in her ear since she came back from Grandpa Xu's house.
"Eighty-eight."
"Huh? What?" Shen Tianchen obviously didn't get what she meant.
Shen Baizhou couldn't stand it anymore, so he grabbed Shen Tianchen's ear and pulled him to sit at the table.
"Even all this food can't stop you from eating. That old man Xu is obviously a man who won't turn back until he hits the wall. He won't come here on his own initiative unless someone dies."
"Then we're really going to watch someone die." Shen Tianchen hugged his ears, looking aggrieved.
Shen Baizhou couldn't figure out Ji Yu's thoughts, but even if the sky fell, there would be someone tall (cross out him) to hold it up.
Ji Yu stretched lazily, peeling an orange in his hand. "I don't know who died, but judging by Mr. Xu's personality, he probably wouldn't care. If he put the person in front of him and watched him, it would be very interesting."
Old Master Xu is a typical self-centered person. He didn't seem very sad even though so many people died in the mansion, and it was obvious that he didn't care much about those people's lives.
There was only one reason why he was willing to put someone who might die tonight in front of him.
"How cruel! He's already old, but he still can't see through it."
"Ah? Sister Ji Yu, what do you mean?"
"It's nothing." Ji Yu stuffed a slice of orange into the other person's mouth: "Eat yours. Anyway, he will definitely come to find me before dark."
He can't afford the gamble.
As expected, around dinner time, Butler Chen came over and asked Ji Yu and the others to go have dinner with Old Master Xu.
When I came back here again, I found many people I had seen briefly during the day coming to the dining area.
Old Master Xu was sitting in a wheelchair and was pushed over by Butler Chen.
Ji Yu had read the information given by Shen Baizhou. Mr. Xu had been married twice and had several concubines who were not married with a marriage certificate.
The first wife, Ji Yu's grandmother, was listed as missing in the records. Her name was Xu Manchun. Shen Baizhou was unable to find her at first because the Xu Manchun in Gushu Town was not surnamed Xu at all. She was always addressed by her name. Her surname was Jiang before she married into the Xu family.
The second wife was named Xu Qian. She died in an accident and the case remains unsolved. Her original surname was Li before she married into the Xu family.
Many of his concubines died from taking sleeping pills, and now there is only one concubine left. They are all precious and their surname is Xu.
Although the old man of the Xu family has so many women, he has few children.
After his wife died, the eldest son also committed suicide for love.
After his wife died, the second son went abroad and never returned.
The third son is a typical playboy. After his wife died unexpectedly in the house, he never remarried. Instead, he started a casual relationship and did not return home for many years. This time, he came back because Xu Nian was getting married.
The youngest son, Xu Xian, is a staunch materialist, a university professor, and a major in Marxism.
(Note: All the daughters-in-law of the Xu family changed their surnames to Xu after they married into the family)
Shen Tianchen couldn't help but mutter in a low voice: "Sister Ji Yu, don't you think your view on this rather weak fate of offspring is biased?"
Ji Yu put away the information and coughed dryly: "Only four, one died, and one left. Isn't it thin?"
With this number of concubines, if she were the king in power, he could give birth to dozens of children for you.
"Everyone is here, come and sit down."
Butler Chen pushed Mr. Xu's wheelchair to the main seat and stepped aside. The atmosphere at the table became depressing and gloomy.
Ji Yu glanced at the person on his left indifferently, thinking that it must be his beloved little wife.
She greeted the other person.
"Mrs. Xu, you don't look well. I've learned a little bit about medicine. Do you need me to take your pulse?"
The concubine's face was unusually pale, without any blood, and when she smiled it was as if Lin Daiyu was walking past someone.
She raised her hand, but a shout came from the side, and she was so scared that she quickly put her hand down.
She looked at the old man next to her cautiously, then smiled apologetically at Ji Yu and said, "No, thank you."
Everyone present was not very happy with the meal. After everyone left, Ji Yu and the other two were left behind, along with his concubine who had been staying there all the time.
"Miss Ji, I will do the deal you mentioned during the day."
Ji Yu raised his eyebrows. Oh, this precious granddaughter, the good girl doesn't want to be called that anymore.
"Okay, I can find the ghost for you right away, but I need to see the object first."
"I need to find something."
Old Master Xu was evasive, so Ji Yu simply leaned back in his chair and drank the tea that Shen Baizhou handed to him.
"Old man, it's not nice to get something for nothing, but it doesn't matter, I'm a good person."
"You can't find who's behind the haunting, is it because so many people have died? You might even have thought, could it be my grandma who did it?"
The other person held the handle of the wheelchair tightly, staring at Ji Yu.
"Don't look at me like that. My grandmother has been reincarnated and cannot be killed. What's going on in your house is not a problem, but what's going on in your house is a problem."
As soon as he finished speaking, Butler Chen, who was originally standing behind Mr. Xu, suddenly pushed the wheelchair in his hand towards Ji Yu, turned over, and tried to escape out of the window.
"snort."
Ji Yu raised his leg and kicked Mr. Xu, who was running towards him, and kicked him and the chair against the wall.
"hiss."
Shen Tianchen closed one eye, feeling that the old man’s bones were about to break.
When he turned around, he was about to laugh at the old guy with his uncle, but he found that his uncle had already chased him out.
After Butler Chen made the move, Shen Baizhou immediately followed. He looked outside the house and saw the agile figure, who didn't look like a 70-year-old man at all.
He immediately followed and found that Ji Yu, who had been staying in the house, appeared in front of Butler Chen at some point and hit the other person's face with a rope.
There was no red mark as imagined, but a piece of human skin hanging there.
Ji Yu controlled the rope and tied the man up, threw him in the yard, and stepped on the man's soft belly.
bend over.
Tear off the precarious human skin mask.
"Mr. Shen, come over and see if this is the person you are looking for."
Shen Baizhou bent down, looked at the young, ordinary-looking face, and shook his head silently.
"No, it's not that inconspicuous."
Ji Yu carefully examined the other person with great interest, and said with some regret: "This is what he really looks like, but it doesn't matter, you can ask."
"Hmph, wishful thinking, I won't tell you anything."
When the man saw that he was caught, he simply lay on the ground.
