Chapter 224 I Do
"Are you sure their souls are gone?" Jiang Yunxi narrowed her eyes dangerously. She remembered the last time in Zhan Beiyuan's villa, the ghost told her that someone was collecting ghosts.
"It's certain. The agreed time has passed and they didn't come. It's impossible for them to leave me behind." Old Madam Gu said with certainty. Something must have happened.
Jiang Yunxi pursed her red lips. If they didn't go to the underworld on their own, then their souls were taken away by someone.
When the Chu family held the funeral, the souls of Old Madam Chu and Chu Yuting were still in the Chu family. It seemed that they were taken away by someone on the way to the Duke Yong's Mansion.
"Did something happen to them?" Mrs. Gu felt even more worried when she saw her expression.
"It should be." Jiang Yunxi didn't want to hide it.
Madam Gu's spirit shook, and then she knelt on the ground, "Miss Jiang, I know you are capable, can you save my mother and sister? They are both miserable people."
No matter what happened in the past, she didn't want to care about it. It was meaningless. Now she only wanted the three of them, mother and daughter, to go to the underworld together and complete their final journey.
Jiang Yunxi didn't speak immediately.
The last time the ghost told them that someone was collecting souls, she naturally remembered it, but the other party was too cautious and left no traces, so it was really difficult to find them.
"Are you willing to take the risk?"
"Yes, as long as I can find my mother and sister."
"The consequence of taking the risk is that you may not be able to find them, and you may disappear. Of course, there is also a possibility that you can find them, but I can't guarantee it 100%." Jiang Yunxi explained the disadvantages to her.
"Is it so dangerous?" Gu Qian's face changed.
"A lot of souls have disappeared in the capital recently." Jiang Yunxi said. Not all the souls have disappeared. If you go out at night these days, you can still see ghosts wandering on the streets.
Gu Qian: “…”
That is to say, some people are catching souls, but not everyone is.
"I do." Old Madam Gu said after considering it. It would be better if she could find her mother and sister. If not, she would just disappear. Anyway, the three of them could not travel together.
"Mother, you..." Gu Qian's eyes were sore and swollen when he saw her make the decision. In his opinion, his mother had a hard life. Although she was happy in her childhood, she suffered so much more than thirty years ago.
Is it possible that there will not be a good ending in the end?
If her soul disappears, she will not be able to reincarnate and will have no next life.
As a son, he hopes that she can enjoy a good life in her next life.
"After I leave, you take good care of the family. The future of the Yongguo Mansion depends on the young people. Spend more time on them and let them walk on the right path." Old Madam Gu advised earnestly.
"Yes, mother." Gu Qian knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face. He felt guilty that he had not fulfilled his responsibilities as a son in this life.
Jiang Yunxi left the Duke of Yong's Mansion at noon. She ate something casually on the street and then slowly returned to the Duke of Ying's Mansion.
As soon as she arrived, she happened to see Jiang Chenyu getting off the carriage.
"Sister Yunxi, I heard about your adoptive parents. Don't be sad." Jiang Chenyu didn't expect to meet Jiang Yunxi.
"I don't have a good relationship with them, so I'm not sad." Jiang Yunxi said indifferently.
Jiang Chenyu: “…”
She didn't expect her to be so direct.
Jiang Yunxi looked at her. "Have you met Zhen Mingyue? Did she provide you with any clues?"
Jiang Chenyu clutched the handkerchief in both hands and shook her head, "She, she said that she would let me deal with you, otherwise she wouldn't tell me..."
"Are you going to deal with me?" Jiang Yunxi looked at her with a smile.
"Sister Yun Xi, how could I deal with you? If I did that, wouldn't I be so heartless?" Jiang Chenyu said anxiously with her eyes wide open.
"If you don't deal with me, Zhen Mingyue won't tell you the clues, and you won't be able to find your biological parents." Jiang Yunxi looked at her intently.
"I, I would rather not find my biological parents than deal with Sister Yun Xi." Jiang Chenyu said in a very serious tone.
Jiang Yunxi curled her lips into a smile and walked towards the mansion.
Jiang Chenyu followed her pace.
"Yun Xi, Chen Yu, why are you together?" Jiang Jingyan was a little surprised when he saw them.
"It's a coincidence that we met. I'm leaving now. You guys chat." Jiang Yunxi said and left. She came back to the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion to find Jinxiu.
Jiang Jingyan looked at Jiang Chenyu and said, "Chenyu, mother is in her yard. I'm leaving first."
After saying that, he quickly chased after Jiang Yunxi.
Jiang Chenyu: “…”
In the past, whenever she was at home, her second brother would always be by her side, but since Jiang Yunxi came back, her second brother only had her in his heart and eyes.
At first, she found it difficult to accept this sense of disparity, but now she no longer cares.
"Sister, why did you come back to the Duke of England's Mansion? I thought you went out to investigate the murderer, and I was thinking of going out to look for you." Jiang Jingyan said with a smile.
"Jinxiu hasn't been out recently, right?" Jiang Yunxi asked.
"Ever since you told her not to go out, she's been staying in your yard. She must be bored, so she asked me to get her some brushes, ink, paper, and inkstone, and she's been painting at home every day."
Jiang Yunxi: "Very good."
"You know what, she draws pretty well, but I just can't understand it." Jiang Jingyan touched his head and smiled.
"If you can't even understand it, how can you know it's a good painting?" Jiang Yunxi's mouth twitched slightly.
"It's just the lines in the painting, they look pretty decent. If I were to draw it, it would definitely be crooked and shapeless." Jiang Jingyan admitted that he was not good at painting.
Jiang Yunxi: “…”
When the two of them entered the yard, Jinxiu was sitting by the window, painting seriously facing the outside world, and seemed to be particularly absorbed in it. After they entered the house, she was still painting.
Jiang Yunxi walked behind her and looked down. When she saw the painting on the paper, she frowned, feeling as if she had seen it somewhere.
On the wall of the underground secret room in the East Palace!
No, the pattern direction is completely different and it is not the same as the mural on the wall.
But one thing is certain.
The brocade paintings and murals should come from the same place.
Does she have any relationship with Nanman?
She was a ghost since birth, and her identity is very unusual.
"Yunxi, you're here." Jinxiu turned around quickly when she found someone behind her. Seeing that it was Jiang Yunxi, a gentle smile appeared on her oval face, and there was a bright light in her black eyes.
"What are you drawing? I can't tell what it is." Jiang Yunxi asked with a casual smile.
Jinxiu looked at the drawing paper and said with a playful smile: "I just scribbled it casually. You can think of it as a ghost painting."
Jiang Yunxi: “…”
Jiang Jingyan: “…”
What a cryptic description!
Seeing their dumbfounded expressions, Jinxiu coughed and said, "I don't know why, but after arriving in the capital, some strange images kept appearing in my mind, so I drew them down."
