Chapter 394: Life-Calling 1
The expression on Yan Jin's face was unpredictable.
He raised his head from a distance and looked over at Madam Yuan. Even though Madam Yuan did not show it on the surface, he could see that she was holding on. Even her walking posture was heavier than usual.
But when his eyes fell on Su Tan beside him, there was a hint of displeasure between his brows.
He doesn't like people meddling in his affairs.
He doesn't like anyone ruining his good deeds.
Yan Jin slowly winked at Xiao beside him.
He sighed and made an excuse to go see his cousin, but took advantage of the crowds to go to the garden behind the rockery.
Xiao followed closely behind.
"My lord, do you have any instructions?"
Xiao's tone was gentle and his expression was respectful.
I just caught Yan Jin's gaze.
This time it was naturally her husband, so she would do whatever he asked her to do.
Yan Jin sounded a little irritated. He felt that the scorching sun today was too dazzling, as if something was about to come out from under the sun.
He had never felt that the sun hanging high in the sky was so unlucky.
His voice was cold, "That Master Su is meddling in other people's business and has called a group of people to guard the mourning hall."
"It does prevent us from taking advantage of the situation, but you know what I'm going to do. If you hadn't told me before, it would have been fine. But since you gave me that thing, I don't want to go back empty-handed."
After all, after today, there may never be such an opportunity again.
Who knows if after tonight, Zhuang's father will ask someone to close Zhuang Hui's coffin.
Xiao's face showed a bit of sorrow. "My husband, it's not that I don't want to do this for you, but you just heard that all this was requested by that Master Su."
"At this moment, both my uncle and aunt are treating Master Su as a guest of honor. How can I take advantage of this opportunity?"
Before she came here, she had never imagined that the Zhuang family would be so cruel and even ask people to take turns guarding Ling Teng.
Although the interests involved had been explained to them when someone went to the mansion to report the death yesterday, and why they had to be called over today, Xiao didn't take it to heart at that time.
She always thought that Zhuang Hui was not favored, so naturally no one would take her words seriously.
Even Zhuang Hui was a cowardly and incompetent person during her lifetime, and she would certainly not be able to withstand any major storms after her death.
Xiao has always thought so.
But at this moment, seeing that the people from the Zhuang family did not care about Zhuang Hui's life or death as she had imagined, and even knowing that someone was guarding the mourning hall at all times, her eyes were filled with hostility.
How can that little bitch who transferred in get these treatments? She is just a concubine's daughter, and concubines should always be humble!
What's even worse is that because he gave the things to Yan Jin last night, Yan Jin is now having a headache, hoping that he will order all the scary people guarding the mourning hall out and keep watch for him.
Whenever Xiao thought about it, she felt her eyebrows twitching wildly.
She gave Yan Jin a flattering smile and said, "Husband, let's just forget it."
"There are so many people here, it's easy for something to go wrong."
"It wouldn't be worth it if you sacrificed your reputation for a little bitch like Zhuang Hui."
She thought that Yan Jin was a modest gentleman, and it was not easy for him to accumulate a good reputation. He would definitely not take such a big risk just for the sake of women.
Unfortunately, Yan Jin's expression darkened in an instant.
"What did I ask you to do? Just be obedient. Besides, you gave me the thing, and now you're asking me to give it up. Do you think I'm the kind of person who can be toyed with?"
At this moment, Xiao finally felt what it meant to have pain that could not be expressed in words.
She sighed heavily.
But her ten fingers were tightly grasping her handkerchief.
"Husband, I can only try my best, but I can't guarantee it."
Unfortunately, Yan Jin didn't give her any chance to retreat.
"What I want is not your best attempt, but your must do it."
If she couldn't do it, there was no need for her to make such a boast in front of him.
But since she has already said so and even handed the things to him, what kind of difficulties and changes will occur in the process are all what Yan Jin has to consider.
He just needs the other party to give him a perfect answer.
Xiao's scalp tingled.
I had no choice but to do as he told me.
She could get rid of the servants in the village.
But she really didn't know how to control Su Tan, who looked very difficult to deal with and would bring her endless troubles.
However, hard work pays off. After careful consideration for so long, Xiao finally found an opportunity for herself.
Su Tan is at least a distinguished guest of the Zhuang Mansion.
Xiao invited Su Tan to have tea under the pretext that she could not neglect distinguished guests.
Su Tan's eyes fell on her, and his expression was quite gentle. However, when he spoke to Xiao, he asked with a hint of meaning, "I wonder if Madam Xiao believes in karma."
In front of others, the other party is a world-famous mystic, Xiao, so of course he would not say without any color that he never believed in these things.
She could only force a smile and said calmly, "If I say I don't believe it, it would be a bit presumptuous. But if I say I do, I actually believe that a person with a clear conscience has nothing to fear."
"But I haven't done anything bad in my life. I've always been upright. Master Su insists on asking for clarity. I guess I'd rather believe it than not."
"Nothing in this world is certain, but my cousin was a kind girl. It's a pity that she was unlucky and passed away so early."
Su Tan simply fixed his gaze on her and said calmly, "It turns out that Madam Xiao also believes in karma."
She picked up a cup of tea and took a small sip.
"But Madam Xiao, do you think the person who killed Second Miss Zhuang is now mixed up in this?"
"He said he was genuinely confused by this. Was he afraid that some evil spirit would come after him?"
Xiao was horrified when she heard this.
He could barely maintain the smile on his face. He avoided Su Tan's gaze and uncomfortably probed, "Master Su, aren't you a fortune teller? Why don't you calculate whether the murderer is here?"
Su Tan shook his head with a strange expression.
"Mrs. Xiao is wrong. I only tell fortunes for the living, not the dead."
"The second young lady of Ruozhuang is still alive. She asked me to tell her fortune. I could naturally find out who caused her to fall into this state. Unfortunately, when I met her, her body was already cold."
"But the Second Young Lady held a deep grudge before her death. I think she must have been seeking revenge on the soul of the person who harmed her."
She looked at Xiao with a smile.
It seemed that he could not see the cold sweat dripping from the other person's forehead.
"What does Madam Xiao think?"
Xiao laughed dryly twice, and inexplicably felt a chill enveloping her.
