The Zhong family has always had few descendants, but a few decades ago, in the generation of Zhong Yuxiu's great-grandfather, there were still two or three brothers and sisters in the family. Even his grandfather had a younger sister, but in his father's generation, there was only his father.
Her father only had one daughter.
This is what outsiders see.
But only the head of the Zhong family and close relatives knew that Zhong Yuxiu actually had a twin brother.
But he died just after he was born.
Zhong Yuxiu's mother was not in good health to begin with, and being pregnant with twins caused her even greater damage. She was already extremely weak after giving birth, and when she heard that her eldest son had not survived, and that the daughter she left behind was also weak, she was afraid that she would not be able to survive for two years.
I was so sad that I followed him.
From then on, the Zhong family's head was left with only the father and daughter to depend on each other.
The Zhong family has been doing good deeds for generations, but ended up in this situation.
Not to mention people outside, even the Zhong family themselves couldn't understand why this happened.
Therefore, when Zhong Yuxiu was five years old, she dreamed that her grandfather told her that the Zhong family had become what it was today because of an evil spirit. The head of the Zhong family then looked for a Feng Shui master to find the root cause.
Unfortunately, nothing was found.
The head of the Zhong family tried to find the legendary Xuanmen who could predict good and bad luck and know one's destiny, but the Xuanmen was mysterious and powerful. Even though the Zhong family was already the head of the four major families in Kyoto, it was difficult for them to come into contact with forces at that level.
In the end, it was left unresolved.
But this incident has always been a thorn in the hearts of the Zhong family. Even though they tell themselves that everything is just a fantasy, they always feel uneasy when they think of it.
This is especially evident in the naturally perceptive Zhong Yuxiu.
But she knew that her life was short, and she didn't want her father to worry about it anymore, so she never mentioned it again except after the first dream.
Over time, everyone put this matter behind them.
If it weren't for this incident today, Butler Zhong wouldn't have thought about it for several years.
But at this moment, he couldn't control his nervousness and subconsciously stood in front of Zhong Yuxiu.
Xie Xihe was still hammering away over there. Across a mountain, in a side villa of the Zhong family manor, a middle-aged man with a goatee suddenly opened his eyes.
He made a quick calculation with his fingers, and suddenly stood up from the bed, stretched out his hand and opened the door.
A servant guarding the door was startled, then immediately bowed and asked respectfully, "Why did Mr. Yi come out? Is there anything you need?"
Mr. Yi's face was sullen. He asked him, "Where is your master?"
The servant immediately said, "The eldest daughter of the master's family took people to the back mountain for an outing. The master was a little worried, so he went to ask about the situation at the master's family. It's almost time for her to return."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound of footsteps. Mr. Yi looked down and his eyes met those of Zhong Miao and Zhong Siyuan who were looking at him at the same time.
Both sides ate at the same time.
Zhong Siyuan was the first to come to his senses. He immediately rushed over and held Mr. Yi's arm while respectfully asking, "Didn't you say you were going to be in seclusion for a few days? Why are you out at this time?"
Mr. Yi let him help him walk downstairs and asked with a serious face, "Did you go to the master's house to inquire about the news? What did you find out?"
Zhong Siyuan paused and said, "Ever since the last incident, the main family has been much more vigilant towards the various branches. They're reluctant to reveal most of the information. I only found out from a gardener that the eldest daughter took Xie Xihe to the back mountain, but I can't find out anything else."
"Xie Xihe?" Mr. Yi paused, remembering this person. "Is it the girl you mentioned who rescued Zhong Yuxiu?"
Zhong Siyuan's face looked a little ugly, but he still nodded and said, "It's her."
Then he asked, "Sir, have you discovered anything? Is there something wrong with Xie Xihe?"
Mr. Yi pondered for a moment, then suddenly looked up at him and said, "Immediately contact the influential elders of the Zhong family and tell them that someone is causing trouble at the Zhong family's ancestral tomb. Find a way to stop them!"
Zhong Siyuan and Zhong Miao, who had just approached, changed their expressions and asked in shock, "What does Mr. Yi mean?"
Mr. Yi nodded: "Something was found at the ancestral tomb."
The expressions of the two men changed instantly.
There was no time to think more. He hurriedly said hello to Mr. Yi and left quickly, heading straight for the clan elders' meeting.
Mr. Yi looked at the two people running away, pondered for a moment, and returned to his room. However, half an hour later, he left the room again with a pale face.
This time, he had a small bag on him and said, "I'm going to the back mountain. If your master comes back, tell them that the thing has been there since the beginning and has nothing to do with them."
"Remember?"
The servant was stunned and nodded: "I remember."
Mr. Yi left with a gloomy face. When he reached the door, he stumbled and grabbed the door in time to avoid falling, but a corner of the small bag was scattered due to the vibration.
The servant vaguely saw some talismans, cinnabar, and... a bank card?
The servant instinctively felt that he had seen it wrong. Why did Mr. Yi put the bank card in his bag?
Just when I was about to take a closer look, I saw Mr. Yi had already repacked his bag and left quickly.
The servant couldn't help but scratch his hair, his face full of hesitation.
At this time, Zhong Miao and his son had already obtained the surveillance footage from the cemetery and informed the clan elders' council of the matter.
Of course, the elders' council exploded immediately.
