Not long after Xiao Chenyan left, a servant came over and carefully took away the iris lantern.
At the same time, the maid he arranged also came over.
Hongrui looks calmer while Luqiao is more lively. Both girls have pretty features and are skilled in the way they walk, sit or lie down. But what attracts people's attention is the tattoos on their right cheeks.
A tattoo of the word "slave".
Qing Wu recalled the past. In her previous life, she and Xiao Chenyan had saved three children who were abducted by human traffickers.
Two girls had tattoos on their cheeks, but the other little boy was luckier as he was rescued before the tattoo could be done.
Qing Wu collected her thoughts, yawned as she waited for the meal to be served, and after taking two bites, she went back to sleep.
The two maids observed her for a while, and when they saw nothing unusual about her, they left.
When Qing Wu woke up, it was already dark.
The two maids were still guarding the door. She smiled and blew a breath towards the door.
The night breeze blew gently, and Luqiao and Hongrui suddenly felt extremely sleepy. The two girls nodded and fell asleep against the wall.
Qing Wu pushed the door open and walked out, her figure disappearing into the darkness in an instant.
Ever since Yun Houxing brought the coffin home, everyone in the Shangshu Mansion has been in a panic.
Luo had just been promoted from concubine to wife, and had not enjoyed the power of the head of the household for a day when she saw her daughter coming back dead, crying so hard that she was gasping for breath.
As soon as he left Prince Yan's mansion, he went to ask for an audience with the Crown Prince, but in the end he didn't even step into the door of the Eastern Palace.
Apparently the prince has received the news and is now trying his best to distance himself from him!
Is Yun Houxing afraid of Xiao Chenyan now?
No……
What he was afraid of was the coffin!
It's clear fog!
He didn't have time to care whether Luo was sad or not. He sent his trusted men out to find a Taoist priest or a high monk to destroy Yun Qingwu's ghost!
At nightfall, the Taoist priest was not found, but a group of monks were invited to chant mantras for salvation in the Shangshu Mansion.
Yun Houxing felt a little safer, but still didn't dare to stay alone, so he asked the servants to guard outside the door and keep lights on in the house.
He didn't care whether Luo was sad or not, and forced her to stay with him. However, he was thinking that Yun Yujiao was Luo's daughter, and this woman had bullied Yun Qingwu a lot in her childhood.
If that little bitch comes to take my life, she will definitely not let Luo go.
If there is any danger, let Luo take the blame for him first.
Yun Houxing was quite frightened today. His eyelids gradually became heavy as he heard the woman crying.
The whimpering sound beside my ear suddenly became distorted and eerie.
“It hurts so much…”
“My heart aches…”
Yun Houxing was feeling extremely annoyed when he suddenly felt something dripping on his face.
He subconsciously touched his face and it was sticky as if it were blood. The sound seemed to come from above his head.
Yun Houxing's heart seemed to be hit by a hammer and stopped suddenly in fear. When he opened his eyes, he saw only darkness.
“Aaaaaaah!!”
The man's scream was particularly shrill in the night.
"Light the lamp! Light the lamp quickly! Who turned off the lamp for me?"
Luo was so frightened that he quickly went to light a lamp.
The light returned, Yun Houxing gasped and looked at his hands, only to see that they were covered in sweat, not the bright red color he had imagined.
He breathed a sigh of relief and shouted angrily: "Who turned off the light?"
He looked in the direction of Roche.
But he saw a woman in a wedding dress with several bloody holes on her limbs and chest. Her face was pale. She stood by the lamp and stared at him. That face was clearly Yun Qingwu.
"It's me, father..."
“Ahhhhhh!!!”
"Help! There's a ghost!!!"
Yun Houxing was so frightened that he pissed his pants and ran out of the door screaming.
Inside the house, Luo was holding a candle and was also frightened and broke out in a sweat. However, she was much calmer than Yun Houxing. However, she did not dare to stay in the house for long, and hurriedly ran out to guard the courtyard.
A figure emerged from behind the screen, and Qing Wu smiled at the female ghost in the room, "Go ahead and continue making trouble."
Yun Qingwu nodded and floated away with red eyes.
Qing Wu was holding a ghostly lamp, the faint ghost light concealing her whereabouts and scent. She wandered around the Shangshu Mansion as if no one was around, obviously she was familiar with the place.
Judge Pen: "Why are you so familiar with this place?"
“This was my home.”
The nostalgia in Qing Wu's eyes soon turned into ridicule: "The old emperor was so willing to give the Marquisate to that bastard Yun Houxing."
Judge Pen was shocked: "No wonder you want to help Yun Qingwu to get revenge, you are just seeking revenge for personal gain. No, Grandpa Mingjun has banned you from looking up any records from the time of the catastrophe."
"Have you ever peeked at the Book of Life and Death? Otherwise, how would you know that Yun Houxing killed your father and brother?"
Qing Wu said calmly: "Don't worry, I just took a peek, I didn't see much."
It seems that this old dog Yun deliberately cut off the army's food supplies and leaked information to the Hu people.
Judge's Pen: "We agreed to only look for souls! You clearly want revenge! It is taboo for the Yin officials to kill mortals without permission!"
"How could I kill him? The one who wanted revenge was Yun Qingwu, I just stopped by to watch the fun."
"Besides, Yun Houxing is still alive."
As Qing Wu spoke, she entered the study and began to search.
Back then, Yun Houxing had other plans behind the scenes. This guy would not have left a backup plan to save his life after committing such a serious crime as treason.
Qing Wu wants to find the souls of her father and brother, and also wash away the stigma attached to them.
Even though she had been in the netherworld all these years, whenever there was a war and the two worlds of humans and ghosts quarreled, she could always hear the families of the soldiers who died in the war that year cursing the Zhenguo Hou Mansion.
They cursed the Marquis of Zhenguo Mansion for killing their son.
Calling the entire family of the Marquis of Zhenguo traitors!
How ridiculous it is that loyal bones are wrongly treated and their souls disappear without a trace!
Qing Wu searched the entire study but found nothing. She took a deep breath and suppressed her murderous intent.
The banging sound of the judge's pen made her even more irritated.
"Awu, you bad boy, calm down, don't mess around anymore!"
"Investigate if you want, but let's just follow some human rules. If you kill someone yourself, we'll be in trouble!!"
"I know." Qing Wu gritted her teeth. Suddenly, she narrowed her beautiful eyes and looked towards the door.
The light of the Netherworld Lamp in his hand flickered, wrapping Qing Wu's figure even tighter.
A figure quickly pushed the door open and walked in.
The study was pitch black, but Qing Wu could clearly see the man's beautiful phoenix eyes.
Xiao Chenyan's body paused. The moment he sneaked into the study, he felt the presence of someone.
The dagger flew out of his hand, shot forward, passed through the void, and nailed to the pillar.
Xiao Chenyan's eyes darkened. Illusion?
He walked quickly forward, pulled out the dagger, and smelled a familiar fragrance.
It looks like...snowflakes during the first snowfall, and also like...irises.
A face flashed through Xiao Chenyan's mind.
Clouds, clear fog?
