Chapter 13: Keep Crying, Keep Acting
Li Cheng was still worried.
Qin Yinyao sighed: "Hua Niang, take him with you."
Hua Niang sighed, "Master, the sun is so bright outside, and I am so delicate, how can I not go?"
Li Cheng and the others' cheeks twitched: "..."
Evil ghost, delicate?
Two common words put together form a very niche discourse.
"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up." Qin Yinyao urged and walked outside on her own.
Li Cheng and his group subconsciously followed Qin Yinyao's footsteps.
It was not until they were almost at the main courtyard that they realized they were searching the mansion for the formation!
Not here to visit the garden!
"Junior sister, go and play for a while. Let's take care of our business first." Li Cheng tried to be gentle.
Qin Yinyao pointed to the five trees outside the main courtyard wall and said, "Isn't that what you are going to do?"
Mulberry trees, willow trees, poplar trees, locust trees, and chinaberry trees are known as the Five Ghost Trees. They have extremely heavy yin energy and are prone to attracting ghosts.
Ordinary families know that they cannot plant these kinds of trees at home, let alone the wealthy and powerful mansions?
Moreover, the locations where the Five Ghost Trees are planted form a masculine formation.
Extreme yin and extreme yang, a method to summon ghosts and calm souls.
No wonder the aura of the Marquis' Mansion seems so clean at first glance, it's all due to this formation.
This formation also includes a large formation of borrowing luck. The sacrifice whose luck is borrowed feels like being tortured every minute and every second when it is in it.
"Ridiculous! This is absolutely insane!" Li Cheng was furious.
The Marquis, who was "sent" here by Hua Niang, felt very disappointed.
But his eyes rolled and he immediately said, "There really is a fortune-borrowing formation! Qin Yinyao, you are absolutely crazy! That's your biological mother!"
Qin Yinyao, who was leaning against a poplar tree to enjoy the cool air, said: "..."
What does she ask?
"My Lord, you mean that I was the one who set up this formation?" She narrowed her eyes slightly.
The Marquis was still being held captive by Hua Niang, and he didn't dare to break free. He just stiffened his neck and said, "You live in this courtyard. If it wasn't you who did it, who else could it be?"
After hearing the servant's report, the Marquis's wife, who had hurried over, shouted, "No wonder you racked your brains and even resorted to throwing tantrums to move into this courtyard!"
"So this courtyard was set up with a formation to harm people, and you're so anxious to destroy the evidence!"
She threw herself towards the Marquis tenderly, but saw Hua Niang holding the Marquis' arm, with a fierce look in her eyes.
This little bitch!
How long had it been since she lost her housekeeping power?
There was a maid who dared to flirt with the Marquis right under her nose. It was so disrespectful!
After sending Si Tianjian and his men away, she would definitely investigate the vixen in the mansion.
Seeing that Hua Niang had no intention of letting go, he knew that now was not the time to pursue these matters.
She just stood beside the Marquis and cried, "No wonder the Marquis's health has been getting worse in recent years. It turns out there's a harmful spirit in the family!"
"Yin Yao, mother knows you're resentful. But no matter what, you can't harm your biological father!"
She looked at Qin Yinyao with tears in her eyes, crying sincerely.
People who don't know the truth would think that she had suffered a great injustice.
"Ah..." The Marquis sighed in agreement: "Don't blame Yin Yao. It was my fault for not taking good care of her mother that led to her early death. It's only natural for her to resent me."
"Even if I have to die with her mother, it is what I deserve."
"But if I die, leaving you and your mother as orphans, how can I rest assured?"
The Marquis's wife wiped her tears and said, "Your Majesty is wrong. My sister died of an acute illness. If I want to blame someone, I can only blame the heavens for being jealous of my beauty! How can I blame Your Majesty?"
"But she is my wife after all. I am responsible for her death!" The Marquis' eyes turned red with regret.
Looking at Qin Yinyao, he said, "I only hope that after I die, Yinyao's resentment will subside a little, and she will not embarrass them anymore."
Then he looked at Li Cheng and the others and said, "Please bear witness, my lords, I am willing to die. This has nothing to do with my little girl Yin Yao. Please do not punish her!"
"My Lord..."
"lady……"
"My Lord..."
What a meeting on the tower, with the man in love and the woman willing to pay attention.
"Tsk tsk..." Qin Yinyao smacked her lips, feeling that it was missing some melon seeds, peanuts, and small Cokes.
This play is much better than the one in the Southern Opera House.
This statement seemed to have cleared her of all charges.
In fact, every word and sentence implies that she wants to kill her biological father.
If the crime of being unfilial is proven, the lightest sentence she will receive is hanging. If she is sentenced to a more severe punishment, she might even be sentenced to death by slicing.
Perhaps because the sound of clicking was too loud, the Marquis and his wife looked at her reflexively.
Qin Yinyao: "Don't worry about me, keep crying, keep acting, it's so interesting."
The Marquis and his wife: "..."
"Stop performing?" Qin Yinyao waited for a while, but they didn't continue. She curled her lips in boredom and said, "Is this the end?"
The Marquis and his wife: "..."
Qin Yinyao tutted twice in disdain: "You guys can't even act."
"If you really want to imply that I was the one who wanted to kill my biological father, you shouldn't have said it so bluntly."
"Three parts truth, seven parts falsehood, mixed with some paternal and maternal love to protect it, it is easy to deceive people."
The Marquis and his wife: “???”
Are there people who teach others how to harm themselves?
Li Cheng and others: "!!!"
And teaching others how to act and harm themselves?
"What are you going to do next, brothers?" Qin Yinyao looked at Li Cheng and others inquiringly.
Li Cheng was the first to come back to his senses. He said soothingly, "Don't be afraid, Junior Sister. Although we can't find out the exact time when the formation was set up, we can still estimate it roughly."
"Furthermore, this formation uses the Five Ghost Tree as its eyes to monitor its growth and the soil around its roots..."
"Combining the two, we can basically determine the time when the formation was set up. In addition, I see that the undead in the formation haven't dissipated. Once we rescue her, we'll find out the truth by asking her."
Hearing what she wanted to hear, Qin Yinyao smiled brightly: "In that case, thank you for your hard work, brothers!"
"Brothers, you must find out the truth and make a decision for the Marquis!"
"Don't take it lightly! Yi! Please spare me..."
Every word, every rhythm, like a cat teasing a mouse, kept tugging at the heartstrings of the Marquis and his wife.
Seeing her like this, Li Cheng felt funny and distressed.
It's so pitiful that she has such a pair of biological father and stepmother who want to kill her at such a young age.
"Junior Sister..." He glanced at the Marquis, pulled Qin Yinyao's sleeve and went to talk to the side.
After the two of them whispered a few words, Qin Yinyao stepped back.
Li Cheng and his fellow junior brothers used magic together to draw out Cen Xiaoan's soul and put it into a magic weapon that nourishes the soul.
They also uprooted trees and dug up soil to break the formation.
After all the hard work, the sun had already set.
Li Cheng and others took their things and left, but Li Ming was still a little worried about Qin Yinyao's safety.
Li Cheng: "...With Hua Niang here, even a hundred skilled fighters might not be able to get close to Junior Sister."
After spending the day together, he saw clearly that although Hua Niang was still a little dissatisfied with her junior sister, she was actually obedient and followed her orders.
Only then did Li Ming feel relieved.
The people from Si Tianjian left and the gate of the marquis' mansion was locked.
The Marquis turned around and walked quickly towards Qin Yinyao, raising his hand to hit her.
