Dumb Widow 6
"Oh."
As the two of them froze, Shen Wanyue took a step back. Xiao Zhaoming raised his lips slightly, "Gileta said that my wife's illness can't even be cured by Mr. Wu. I'm really curious about what kind of illness it is."
Chen Wanyue resisted the urge to roll her eyes, and her eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness.
She picked up the oil lamp that was on the stone and used the remaining flame to relight the torch, lighting up the space between them.
"It's alright if my lady doesn't want to answer, but I just thought that maybe you and I share the same fate."
Who is connected with you by the same fate? When I leave this body, there is another body waiting for my soul.
Suddenly, a voice came over: "Sir."
Shen Wanyue's body froze. There was someone else? Why didn't she notice?
The person who came was Xiao Zhaoming's guard. He had been standing not far away, watching his own master come forward to "tease" others.
"What's the matter?" Xiao Zhaoming's tone was obviously unhappy. He was already annoyed because he couldn't see the fate of a mere country girl, and now he was interrupted, so he was naturally annoyed.
He vaguely remembered that the master once said: human eyes are covered by a double veil, one is chaos, the other is "consciousness". When both of them exist, he will truly die.
In recent days, he noticed that his vision was becoming increasingly blurry. If he could no longer see other people's "destinies"...
Only when the guard came over did Xiao Zhaoming feel relieved - the guard's "fate" was still there.
If it wasn't his problem, then it was... the young lady in front of him. While thinking, his gaze returned from the guards to Shen Wanyue's eyes.
Shen Wanyue was immersed in her own thoughts and automatically ignored the other person's gaze.
That night, maybe there were more than two people?
This thought came to her mind when the man emerged from the darkness just now.
No, that's not right.
It was obvious that "Mrs. Li's" mother-in-law asked Mrs. Zhu to take the person back, and she woke up from bed the next day.
So when did Lady Li die? But how to explain the blood splattered all over the ground?
All of this turned into a pile of mysteries, trapping Chen Wanyue.
She carefully recalled the scene when she first entered the room. It was very clean and didn't look like a crime scene.
That's where they lost their lives...
But "Madam Li" was in a coma and had no memory for her to refer to.
Xiao Zhaoming kept looking at her. At this moment, there was white mist surrounding the young lady in front of him, but it was floating in the air and did not gather like before.
Chen Wanyue felt that she was getting closer and closer to the truth.
Die here... Wait, why would Madam Li, Mrs. Zhu and mother-in-law appear in the wilderness?
The body of "Madam Li" gives the answer.
Because the grave of the fool's husband is here.
After receiving this news, Shen Wanyue had a bold guess in her mind - was it a ghost?
After all, I wore it twice.
If only I could go back to that night... to see directly who attacked "Madam Li"!
——Maybe?!
She came into this body and gained memories because she embroidered Li Niangzi's embroidery. So can she enter Zhu Sao's or her mother-in-law's body and gain memories?
"Young lady?" Xiao Zhaoming saw the other party's gloomy face. The white mist around him slowly gathered together, and a few white words appeared in front of him:
The wish came true.
Seven days later, Yangguan is the gate of breaking the soul.
Haha, it turns out that...I won’t live long.
For a moment, Xiao Zhaoming lost interest in Shen Wanyue: "Young lady, I will not bother you anymore." After saying that, he turned around and the guards didn't even react.
Just leave like that? The guard thought he should try to persuade him.
Chen Wanyue didn't care whether he left or stayed. The fog in her heart suddenly dissipated. The torch was about to burn out, so she quickened her pace and hurried back.
...........
Yesterday, the relatives were waiting at Shen Wanyue's door early in the morning, but no one showed up.
"Maybe he doesn't want to give us money anymore?" someone speculated.
Everyone was talking about it, frowning, and even saying some vicious words.
"No wonder he was so easy to talk to yesterday. It turns out he was stalling for time so he could escape!"
"If it were you, I should have asked her to hand over the money yesterday!"
"That's right. That's right."
Everyone said a few words, but Mrs. Zhu, who had been the loudest in the noise before, was not present.
They also noticed it, but they just thought they were unhappy and didn't come, and they were sulking at home.
This is not the case.
Mrs. Zhu didn't come because she couldn't come now.
After Shen Wanyue came back last night, she came to Mrs. Zhu's house based on her memory.
In this era, every woman in every family can do some handicrafts, and those who have the conditions will learn embroidery. In Mrs. Li's memory, Mrs. Zhu knows some, but her skills are not very good.
When she was thinking about how to get Madam Li's embroidery, she found a bellyband that Mrs. Zhu made for her child on the clothes drying area.
Shen Wanyue took it off secretly. Why did she always feel like she wasn't a decent person?
When she got home, she took out the needle and thread. Just when she was about to draw blood, she remembered that this was the body of "Madam Li" and the blood was different.
Since I had already stolen it, I might as well give it a try, so I cut my finger and let a drop of blood hang from the needle.
Mrs. Zhu's embroidery was quite conventional, while Chen Wanyue chose to embroider a lotus leaf next to the koi.
She was not expecting it at first, but when the koi fish on the bellyband twisted while she was closing the stitches, she knew it was a success.
Sure enough, the next moment, a familiar feeling of dizziness filled her brain, and her hands, feet, and neck felt as if they were torn apart, causing her severe pain.
The skin seemed to be torn apart by countless claws, and the burning pain spread along every inch of nerves, tearing out slowly and cruelly.
"Um!"
Chen Wanyue couldn't bear the pain, so she squatted down beside the bed, and threw everything in her hands to the ground without paying attention.
It didn’t hurt this much before...why?
Cold sweat soaked her back and her fingers couldn't help but tremble.
Why am I still here? Did I fail? It's a pity that I have suffered so much...
It hurt so much that Shen Wanyue couldn't think.
Then, she felt her bones begin to ache: "Ah——!"
The cold wind blew into the room, and a familiar figure appeared in front of him - the real Madam Li.
"You, why do you want to leave my body!" Madam Li's hair covered her eyes, making it difficult for Shen Wanyue to see clearly.
She wanted to yell, it's all because of you!
There is nothing between you and me, why should you ask me to help you find the real murderer?
And it makes me feel so miserable?
"Remember, you don't have much time left. No matter what, you can only help me." Madam Li replied calmly.
The pain continued, Chen Wanyue endured the pain and raised her head: Do you know what I am thinking?
"yes."
She bit her lower lip, her fingertips turned white, cold sweat rolled down her pale face, and a sneer came out from between her teeth: I'm going to go to Sister Zhu and get her memory. I want to find out what happened after you fainted.
The cold wind gradually weakened, and Madam Li said, "Don't think about escaping. You can only leave this place if you fulfill my wish." The voice gradually weakened, Madam Li's soul disappeared, and the candlelight lit.
But the pain in Shen Wanyue's body did not subside.
She originally wanted to get some more information from "Madam Li", but now, "Madam Li"'s soul seemed to have some restrictions -
Slowly, the things in front of Chen Wanyue's eyes became illusory. When she regained her clarity, she was lying on a bed, with bursts of snoring coming from her side.
So noisy.
It seems that I really am wearing Mrs. Zhu's body, and the person next to me should be her husband.
No wonder Mrs. Zhu has such a bad temper. She probably didn’t have a good sleep at night.
She got up from the bed. She didn't know if there would be any side effects, so she had to hurry to find her memory.
"You stupid bitch, why are you moving around?" Mrs. Zhu's husband groaned a few times and fell asleep again.
Chen Wanyue stood speechlessly beside the bed, looking at the man on the bed whose physique was even stronger than Mrs. Zhu: dead pig.
Whenever she wanted to recall something, she would feel a pain in her head. She couldn't remember anything.
Maybe it had something to do with the fact that she was forced to come into Mrs. Zhu's body. I remembered that I fainted once in "Mrs. Li's" body.
Why not try to trick your mother-in-law first?
Just do it.
In a blink of an eye, she arrived at her mother-in-law's house and went straight in.
The mother-in-law was startled and shouted, "Don't you know how to knock? I think you are becoming more and more unruly. I just want to go find you."
Shen Wanyue imitated Mrs. Zhu's way of speaking and said with a smile: "Hey, my mother, don't I want to talk to you about the mute thing?"
"Humph, I just happened to come to you for this matter. This morning, the boss and his group went to ask the dead mute for money. They waited for a long time but no one came out. They were afraid that he would escape, so they broke down the door and went in. As a result, the mute fell to the ground and could not be woken up no matter how much they shouted."
"This..." Chen Wanyue pretended to be confused and rolled her eyes around, "Hey! Could it be that he really broke his brain that night?"
"Shut up! Didn't I tell you not to talk about this?" Unexpectedly, the old woman shouted harshly, then lowered her voice, "Is it really related?"
Seeing her like this, Shen Wanyue said nothing and waited for the other party to tell more information.
Sure enough, the mother-in-law began to talk to herself: "Logically speaking, shouldn't the mute still be alive...?"
Shouldn't be alive? What does that mean?
Is Mrs. Li’s death really related to her mother-in-law, Mrs. Zhu?
Then, the mother-in-law talked about what happened that night intermittently, ensuring that Madam Li’s current situation had nothing to do with her.
As a "good daughter-in-law", Shen Wanyue only agreed with a few words from time to time, and in these mutterings, her guess was verified.
On the night when "Madam Li" was murdered, there was indeed another person.
He was Mrs. Zhu's husband and the second son of the mother-in-law. He followed them here, and when Mrs. Zhu and her husband found out, they asked him to carry "Mrs. Li" back.
However, they did not go back together. Mother-in-law and Mrs. Zhu went back first, while Mrs. Zhu's husband was responsible for cleaning up the bloodstains and then carried the people away. So, Mrs. Zhu and mother-in-law did not know what happened afterwards.
Chen Wanyue said: "Don't worry, mother, maybe the mute himself is not in good health."
"That's right. Go and have a look. Don't let the person die and the money be gone too."
"Okay."
