After Xiaoman and Shuangjiang called for hot water for Chen Huaixu, Chen Huaixu drove them back to their rooms.
After taking a shower, Shen Huaixu's jet-black hair was draped behind her, still covered with moisture. She sat quietly in front of the window and slowly twisted her hair, intending to wait until her hair was dry before going to bed. However, she could not resist the overwhelming sleepiness and yawned several times.
Just as my thoughts were about to be drowned by sleepiness, I suddenly heard Fu Yin's voice, "Don't sleep, you will catch a cold."
Then she felt her hair falling into someone's palm.
Fu Yin held a towel he had picked up from the cruise ship and tried to be as gentle as possible with his subordinate's long hair.
Fu Yin's arrival made Shen Huaixu feel much more energetic. Thinking of what happened before, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Why? You still want to hear me praise you a few more times?"
"Don't tell me." Although he said that he couldn't tell me, Fu Yin's eyes were filled with smiles. He snorted and accused, "You threw it away after using it. You're not sincere."
Chen Huaixu put his hand under his chin and retorted, "What's not true about it? I see that you are obviously very happy. Can't you feel my sincerity?"
"I am magnanimous and don't care about you humans."
These arrogant words sounded like something Fu Tuan could say, and Shen Huaixu laughed out loud.
After laughing, she felt her head warm and comfortable. Her eyes were half closed, and her long eyelashes trembled from time to time, as if she could fall asleep in the next second.
Before she lost consciousness, she heard Fu Yin whisper, "Three days have passed. Hurry back to find your father, or your future father-in-law will be sad."
If Shen Huaixu was still awake, he would definitely point fingers at Fuyin and say he was shameless. But now——
Father-in-law? What father-in-law?
Shen Huaixu thought in a daze, but unfortunately his brain was no longer functioning.
What Shen Huaixu, who was falling asleep, didn't know was that after she fell asleep, Fu Yin looked down at her delicate profile from above. Curious, he leaned over slightly and stretched out his fingers. His long eyelashes gently brushed across his fingertips, feeling furry and a little itchy.
When I woke up the next day, it was already noon.
Shen Huaixu turned over in bed, slowly recalling the scene of last night. She opened her eyes and looked at the window where she had slept, which had been closed.
After a simple wash, Chen Huaixu had a meal that was neither early nor late. Zhuyue and the other two accompanied him, talking about the news they had heard on the street this morning.
"This morning everyone was talking about the Chu family's ghost marriage—the groom was dragged under the incense table by a snake, the bride's body was nowhere to be found, and the bride's shrill voice that sounded like a curse last night...
Everyone is speculating that the bride was murdered. The Chu family was tainted with something unclean, and the bride is taking revenge! "
Xiaoman felt much more relaxed.
Chen Huaixu listened to what she said and knew that the groom's body was not dragged away by the snake, but was hidden by her under the incense table.
Her space can only hold dead objects except Fu Yin's Feiyuan, and dead people are also dead objects.
She even hid the bride's body, and then told Xiaoman and Shuangjiang the hiding place, asking them to bring it out during the chaos.
Otherwise, Xiaoman and Shuangjiang would have to lie in the same coffin with the corpse.
I don’t know if Fu Yin can smell the stench of the corpse in the space - probably not, right?
Otherwise, with his keen sense of smell, he would have protested long ago.
Shen Huaixu's thoughts wandered outward for a moment, but he was brought back to reality by Zhuyue's voice.
Zhu Yue said with regret, "Some people say that the Chu family was unaware of Qin Xiaowan's death, and that her relatives strangled her to death for the Chu family's 'bride price'. Others say that Qin Xiaowan was fine when she was sent to the Chu family, and her death had nothing to do with the Qin family. In short, the argument continues."
"No matter whether it was the Qin family who did it, Qin Xiaowan will definitely die after they agreed to such a thing. Neither family is a good person." Shuangjiang rarely spoke.
Xiaoman was still thinking about the questions in her mind yesterday, and looked at Shen Huaixu eagerly, hoping to get the answer from her.
Chen Huaixu smiled and casually rummaged around the room, found a piece of cloth, and handed it to Xiaoman: "Do you know what this is?"
Xiaoman shook his head in confusion.
"It's for bugs." Shen Huaixu shook his head regretfully. "I finally brought so many local specialties from Nanxia, but they're all wasted here. I wanted to give some to my second brother to try."
Xiaoman was quite brave and could handle corpses, but she was afraid of insects with many legs. Hearing this, she shook her hand and the cloth fell to the ground.
"Special, special product, Miss is really foresighted."
Zhuyue could tell that Chen Huaixu was teasing Xiaoman and chuckled, "He was indeed prescient. Many people say that the evil spirit Qin Xiaowan transformed into is a creature of extreme yin, capable of attracting the five poisons. Fortunately, her body is missing. Otherwise, if it were buried in the Chu family's ancestral tomb, it would probably disturb the Chu family's ancestors in the underground."
The topic was changed. Xiaoman was still frightened and did not pursue the matter further, but talked about other things.
"My second brother hasn't come back yet?"
Shuangjiang said, "The Second Young Master hasn't returned yet, but with something as big as this happening in Ji County, I think he'll be back soon."
Before Shen Huaixu could speak, footsteps were heard at the door, followed by a knock.
Xiaoman, who was closer to the door, opened it. The innkeeper handed over a visiting card with a flattering smile, "I didn't know that County Lady Mingyi was here. Please forgive me, County Lady."
As he said this, the shopkeeper and his employees knelt on the ground.
Xiaoman handed over the visiting card, "County Magistrate Qiu wishes to see the County Lady."
Chen Huaixu didn't even look at it, as if he had forgotten it, and repeated: "County Magistrate Qiu?"
"Oh—I almost forgot. I wonder what County Magistrate Qiu wants from me?"
"You're joking, my lady," the shopkeeper said with a wry smile. "Master Qiu only asked me to hand over the visiting card, and I don't know what Master Qiu is doing. I only know that Master Qiu seems to be particularly concerned about you, my lady. Perhaps he's worried that the county magistrate is away and that he's treating you poorly."
