After I committed myself to the yandere villain, the male protagonist turned evil

Chapter 216 215 Another Corpse

But the moral principles in his heart would not allow him to delay a young woman in her prime.

So he told Mrs. Xiao that if they wanted to have an offspring, they had to get the girl's consent.

However, Old Lady Xiao told him that the clan had already asked the girl from the Zhou family, with whom he was originally engaged, to come to the prison to take over as his heir.

And the other party also agreed to this.

At that time, Xiao Jue just sighed.

They could no longer see what happened afterwards.

Those baby girls who were supposed to be saved were so indignant about Xiao Jue's death that they lingered in the world of the living for more than ten years and did not leave.

Later, they wanted to leave and had already forgotten the way forward.

Those ghosts soon entered the cycle of reincarnation under the guidance of Shen Niannian.

After doing all this, Shen Niannian leaned in Lu Wenyan's arms somewhat exhausted, unable to speak for a long time.

After a long while, she said quietly, "Xiao Jue's orphan is either a baby girl or died young."

If it weren't for these two situations, there wouldn't be Xiao Yu, the head of the family.

Xiao Yu was adopted as a descendant of a side branch. Although Xiao Yu was old enough to get married at that time, he had no choice but to do so due to circumstances.

At this moment, a white light suddenly floated up, and Shen Niannian and Lu Wenyan looked at each other.

Lu Wenyan said: "If you give those ghosts the best destination, they will want to repay you."

Shen Niannian nodded.

Then I saw the white light floating in another direction.

Shen Niannian took a deep breath and quickly followed the white light with Lu Wenyan.

The two followed the white light, came to the foot of the mountain, and then entered the city.

Unexpectedly, we ended up at the back mountain of Xiao’s house.

The white light finally stopped in front of a tombstone and then dissipated between heaven and earth.

Shen Niannian looked and saw only a few words engraved on the tombstone.

The tomb of Xiao Jue, the tenth patriarch of the Xiao family.

But what is strange is that only the names of his parents are clearly engraved on his tombstone, while the names of his wife and son are empty.

Logically speaking, the woman who had children with Xiao Jue was Xiao Jue's wife.

His wife's name should also be recorded.

With such doubts, Shen Niannian and Lu Wenyan decided to open the museum.

The place pointed by the evil spirit must have clues.

Shen Niannian bowed three times in front of Xiao Jue's tombstone, and silently recited a few words of apology and forgiveness.

Her actions made Lu Wenyan couldn't help laughing.

But he said nothing.

Seeing him like this, Shen Niannian tugged at his sleeve, motioning him to follow her example.

After all, it is DNA engraved in the bones. Even in the world of cultivating immortals, this habit cannot be changed.

It seems that if I don’t do this, I will feel uneasy.

Lu Wenyan smiled and followed her example.

Strangely enough, what seemed like a stupid behavior to him turned out to be so much fun when he did it with Shen Niannian.

Soon, Lu Wenyan began to dig the soil with a shovel.

Shen Niannian, on the other hand, was eating pills and practicing to recover some of his spiritual power.

When she opened her eyes again, the entire coffin had already appeared above the surface.

Shen Niannian looked at Lu Wenyan and couldn't help laughing when she saw that he looked a little embarrassed.

She stood up, walked to his side, and used her spiritual power to wipe away the dirt and filth on his body.

Then he stepped forward and opened the coffin.

Xiao Yu had been dead for nearly twenty years, so it was no surprise that there were bones in the coffin. But what surprised Shen Niannian was that there was more than one corpse in the coffin.

"Two corpses!" Shen Niannian exclaimed in surprise.

The head of one of them was obviously separated from the body, and the other one was about 1.7 meters tall, but judging from the skeleton, it did not look like a man.

"Is this Zhou?" Lu Wenyan asked.

"That shouldn't be right." Shen Niannian shook her head: "I heard from the villagers before that Zhou was a daughter of a Jiangnan clan, and she was very petite and beautiful."

According to the villagers' oral accounts, Xiao Jue and Zhou Shi have another version of the story.

Zhou's name is Zhou Chuchu, and she is the daughter of the Zhou family in Jiangnan.

The Zhou family was wealthy and although they were merchants, they were extremely prestigious in the local area.

Therefore, the Zhou and Xiao families began their marriage very early.

Zhou Chuchu is a young lady from the boudoir, well-read and with a kind heart.

She had been engaged to the young master of the Xiao family, Xiao Jue at that time, since she was a child.

The Xiao family's direct descendants have strict requirements when it comes to marrying a wife.

To marry into the Xiao family, one must be knowledgeable in poetry and literature and have bound feet since childhood.

Therefore, Zhou Chuchu had her feet bound since she was a child and was kept in seclusion.

However, Xiao Jue passed the imperial examination at a young age and was determined to achieve fame and success. In addition, his father passed away later, and he mourned for his father for three years.

So the marriage was delayed.

Until Xiao Jue was imprisoned, they only met once, and they looked at each other from a distance through the gauze window.

The servants of the Zhou family all said that Zhou Chuchu fell in love with Xiao Jue because of that side.

How could anyone not be moved by such a handsome and elegant young man?
Later, Xiao Jue was imprisoned, and Zhou Chuchu volunteered to go to jail to leave him an heir.

Later, Zhou Chuchu followed her husband Xiao Jue and was buried in the Xiao family mausoleum.

At this point, all the stories came to an abrupt end.

Shen Niannian told Lu Wenyan all of this, and then looked at the extra skeleton, a little dazed.

She had never thought that the so-called burial in the Xiao family mausoleum meant being buried together with Xiao Jue. And this joint burial did not mean burying next to each other like the big clans, but being buried in the same coffin.

Furthermore, is that other corpse really that of the petite Jiangnan girl, Zhou Chuchu?
But if it wasn’t Zhou Chuchu, who could it be?

Shen Niannian and Lu Wenyan quickly sealed the coffin again, buried it with soil, and left the back mountain of the Xiao family.

The two returned to the dilapidated temple and found the incense-burning Taoist Gu Yaozu still lying on the ground motionless, as if he was asleep.

As soon as Fatty saw Shen Niannian coming back, he flew towards her happily.

Shen Niannian touched his head soothingly, and then looked at Lu Wenyan.

"Let's go, it's time to enter the Xiao Mansion."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Wenyan controlled Gu Yaozu, who was lying on the ground, and slowly opened his eyes.

Several people went to Xiao Mansion again.

This time, they transformed themselves into the appearance of ordinary children and pretended to be Gu Yaozu's servants.

When they saw that the visitor was Gu Yaozu, the steward of the Xiao family respectfully welcomed him in.

But when he saw Shen Niannian and Lu Wenyan behind him, the manager was quite surprised, probably because Gu Yaozu had never brought anyone else to the Xiao family.

But the manager did not ask any further questions.

He had always known the temperament of this Taoist priest who burned incense. He was a man who was arrogant because of his talent, but most people with some abilities were arrogant because of their talent.

Shen Niannian glanced at the manager, and a gleam flashed across her lowered eyes.

The steward's reaction showed that he was very clear about many things in the Xiao Mansion.

The three of them followed the steward into the main courtyard. When they passed by Xiao Yansheng's courtyard, Lu Wenyan controlled Gu Yaozu to speak.

"Is everything normal with the young master's body?"
