Chapter 396: Life-Calling 3
Time passed quickly and it was evening.
By then, everything will be quiet and the lights in the mansion will be off.
Only the mourning hall was still brightly lit.
Su Tan and others had clearly instructed that no one was allowed to go out at this time.
But Xiao seems to be someone who is not afraid of death.
Maybe she was afraid of death, but she was more afraid that her husband would not get what he wanted.
So much so that she actually sneaked out with Yan Jin in the middle of the night.
They even went to a place like the mourning hall, where others would never dare to set foot.
After all, Su Tan said that Zhuang Hui might have turned into a ghost and come to seek revenge.
But I don’t know if these two people look down on women too much, or they think that even if Zhuang Hui really died, it wouldn’t cause any big waves.
The two of them arrived at the mourning hall without any obstruction.
Zhuang Hui's body was placed quietly in the coffin.
At first glance, it looks like it's asleep.
But as soon as they came in, both Xiao and Yan Jin felt a chill enveloping them.
Xiao held Su Tan's purse in her hand and smiled at the servants guarding the mourning hall. "Master Su has instructed that if you all stay here, it will only give the evil spirits an opportunity."
"It would be better if you all go back to your own room and hide, lest that evil spirit use you to threaten her."
There is nothing wrong with this statement.
First of all, the maids and ordinary guards didn't want to stay here any longer. After all, they were all born by their mothers and raised by their fathers.
Those high and mighty masters are afraid of evil spirits taking their lives, so aren’t they afraid too?
They are human beings just like their masters.
Since we are all human beings, we are naturally afraid of these things.
It is human instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm.
They also didn't want to guard the mourning hall and didn't want to be the first dish to be chopped off by the evil spirit.
They were just forced to make a living and had no other choice. After all, in the eyes of those high and mighty masters, the lives of servants like them were worthless.
But it seems that Zhuang Hui brought hope.
Everyone recognized the purse in her hand; it belonged to Su Tan.
At that time, Su Tan took out one amulet after another from a purse of this style, and then stuffed them into their hands, telling them to wear them carefully.
Now that Xiao came with Su Tan's purse, it was naturally somewhat credible in their eyes.
However, one of the servants looked surprised, his eyes falling on Yan Jin's waist. He remembered that the amulet was not of this style. Why...
However, Yan Jin is the most favored one among his descendants.
Even though he could only be considered a relative and not a member of the Zhuang family, Mr. Zhuang really liked him because of his outstanding talent and noble character.
How could it be possible that the amulet worn by such a respected master would be the same as that worn by servants like them?
That was why, even though the maids and guards discovered that the amulet Yan Jin wore around his waist was different, no one said it out loud.
Xiao waved her hand again and asked them to go down.
He used the excuse that Su Tan had some things to entrust to him and Yan Jin.
The servants didn't suspect anything, or maybe they really didn't want to stay in this damn place any longer.
So Xiao just said this and they ran away quickly.
After all, it was Xiao's order.
If something really happened later, I'm afraid the Xiao family would have to bear the responsibility.
In addition, if a disaster really happens, perhaps no one can escape it, and ultimately no one can defeat the fate of the father's imperial power.
But perhaps these servants can fight for themselves, and when the time comes, they can quickly realize that something is wrong before the disaster strikes and then escape from the manor.
"Then... I'll leave this place to Master and Madam. I'll take my leave first."
The scary people who were guarding the body looked at each other and made a tacit decision without thinking too much, then quickly retreated.
Who on earth wants to continue staying in this damn place?
Of the thirty-six strategies, running away is the best one!
Seeing that almost everyone had left, Xiao waited for a while.
Only then did she let out a breath and said to Yan Jin, "Husband, those who are in the way have left."
Having said that, she didn't know if it was a psychological effect or if there was something wrong with the layout of the mourning hall, but she always felt like a cold wind was constantly blowing on her.
Xiao even got goose bumps all over her body. When she talked to Yan Jin, she couldn't help but rub her arms from time to time.
If a beautiful and charming woman did this, Yan Jin would probably feel pity when watching her.
But when his wife, who was not particularly good-looking, did such a thing, Yan Jin's brows instantly frowned.
He said indifferently: "Those people who were in the way have left, but you are still standing here."
"Didn't you agree to be a lookout for me?"
"Then why are you still standing here? Why don't you get outside?"
Xiao pursed her lips, feeling a little sad about Yan Jin's attitude of driving people away without any explanation.
Her eyes were red, but she managed a gentle and graceful smile and said to Yan Jin, "I'm always feeling uneasy, but I still want to take care of Yi'er for my husband."
"Don't worry, my dear husband. Those servants will never come back after they leave. As for the others, they have all listened to Master Su's instructions and will definitely not come out. You can rest assured."
The more she said this, the more virtuous she seemed, and the more she considered Yan Jin in every way.
Unfortunately, they weren't in front of others. Yan Jin was too lazy to act with her. When he heard her speak, he frowned and said expressionlessly, "What kind of accident could happen?"
"Are you jealous and don't want me to be with my cousin?"
"But you know yourself that after tonight she will become a completely dead person. If that's the case, then what do you have to worry about?"
"Could it be that you are still jealous of a dead person?"
This was too impolite, and Xiao's face turned pale.
She bit her lip and said, "Husband, I said I'm just worried about you. After all, the layout of this mourning hall is a bit weird. Don't you think it's very cold tonight?"
She didn't know whether she was guilty or she was frightened by what Su Tan said when they were talking and drinking tea together during the day.
After all, her body was shaking constantly at this moment, and she always felt that there were pairs of eyes staring at her from behind.
Unfortunately, at the moment, Yan Jin’s mind was filled with the thought that he was about to possess the person he had coveted for many years.
How could he listen to a word she said?
How could he feel cold?
He just felt hot.
Instead of appreciating Xiao's kindness, he looked at her coldly.
"You asked me to wear that inexplicable amulet, and I've already put it on. I'm already giving you enough face. What else do you want? Are you going to continue standing here and getting in my way?"
Xiao: "..."
Xiao felt inexplicably humiliated and sighed heavily. She turned around, wiped her tears, and walked out of the mourning hall without saying anything else.
