Chapter 219 Miss 218 (Part )

This is how Xiao Yansheng died.

It was a little different from what Shen Niannian expected.

At first, she thought that Xiao Yu killed Xiao Yansheng in order to achieve immortality.

After all, there is the evil way of the Taoist priest Fenxiang, which is really full of sorcery.

Especially the one that uses the water from the baby girl's corpse to make incense and wine, which is really evil.

After Xiao Yansheng died, Xiao Yu went to find the Taoist priest Fenxiang.

He heard that the Taoist priest Fenxiang could save the dead, so he wanted to bring his son back to life.

The Taoist priest Fenxiang first brought a black crystal coffin and asked Xiao Yu to put Xiao Yansheng's body into the coffin to prevent it from rotting.

Then, the Taoist priest Fenxiang asked Xiao Yu to find twenty young girls, and in addition, three women born on an inauspicious day, month and year.

The three women who were born on the Yin year, Yin month and Yin day were used to marry Xiao Yan in a Yin marriage.

The purpose is to use their horoscopes to ward off evil.

After all, Xiao Yansheng had been dead for so long, and he died with resentment.

The remaining twenty young girls were used to make tribute incense.

The main reason why the tribute incense of the Xiao family was valued by the emperor was that the tribute incense had the effect of prolonging life.

For the dead, this tribute incense is a guide for their souls to return to the human world.

What surprised Shen Niannian was that the person who helped Xiao Yu find twenty young girls was actually Xu Shi.

Xu Shi did lie. From the very beginning, he did not really enter the Xiao family as a young master of a branch of the Xiao family.

He was the butcher that Xiao Yu had "invited" to kidnap the young girl at a cost of five hundred taels of silver.

Although Xu Shi's family was poor, he was quite talented.

In addition, he was born with a good appearance and seemed gentle and elegant. Many girls in the city and town admired him very much.

Some brave women would even give him some hand-sewn clothes and shoes as gifts from time to time.

Although in this world, etiquette is strict.

But these strict etiquettes mostly restrict the young ladies from aristocratic families and wealthy families.

Some girls from poor families do not have the rule that they cannot show their faces in public, and they have been the "pillars" of the family since childhood.

Therefore, Xiao Yu sought out Xu Shi purely because of his reputation.

Shen Niannian thought that this had finally solved the mystery of the girl's disappearance.

But unexpectedly, this matter remains a mystery.

Originally, Xu Shi had tricked those girls into the Xiao family, and things had already come to fruition.

Unexpectedly, several of the women disappeared out of thin air.

This forced Xiao Yu to find other ways and he spent a lot of money to buy women from several families.

It’s not that he can’t buy a woman with money, but he won’t do it unless it’s absolutely necessary.

Otherwise, the matter would be easily exposed, and if someone with ulterior motives reported it, the Xiao family would be in trouble again.

As for where those women who disappeared out of thin air went, the steward said he didn't know. And from what he said, it was completely unknown why Xiao Yu finally set his sights on Xu Shi.

According to the steward, Xiao Yu asked Xu Shi to stay only because he said that it would be too risky to find another young master from a side branch to marry Xiao Yansheng, and the fewer people who knew about this, the better.

But Xu Shi was a grasshopper in the same boat with them, he had to obey and also had to keep the secret.

With these thoughts in mind, Shen Niannian soon arrived at the southeast courtyard with Lu Wenyan.

It was still the same dilapidated courtyard, but this time, a faint humming sound came from inside. It sounded like a lullaby, or like a sad and mournful yearning, wrapped in the sound of the wind, and exuded a sense of weirdness.

Shen Niannian and Lu Wenyan stepped inside, pushed open the half-open door, and looked around in pitch darkness. They saw a tall woman with blood-stained white clothes sitting on a rattan chair under a tree.

But the rattan chair was empty and shadowy, as if it would disappear into the world in the next second.

The woman was still humming a tune that Shen Niannian had never heard of before, but it was very gentle.

The moonlight shone very softly on her body. Her long hair was not loose, but rather beautiful after being carefully combed.

And at this moment, the humming sound stopped abruptly.

The woman's face was blurry and the next moment she suddenly looked towards them.

Shen Niannian's heartbeat suddenly skipped a beat, and she subconsciously leaned towards Lu Wenyan, but her face remained calm.

She was considered brave enough, but the sudden horror scene made her adrenaline surge.

However, surprisingly, the woman's face when she turned around was not horribly pale.

She has beautiful eyebrows and eyes, and a beauty mole at the end of her eye. She looks like an ordinary girl.

"A person from the outside world." Her voice was a little ethereal, and her eyes fell firmly on Shen Niannian: "He is also a person with whom we are destined to meet."

The movement of her neck was a little stiff, but it did not detract from her beauty.

"Are you Su Yue?" Shen Niannian looked at the woman in front of her in confusion: "Are you Su Yue's mother?"

Su Yue had a beauty mole at the corner of her eye, and considering the age of this woman, she looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old...but she felt that this should not be Su Yue.

"Su Yue's mother?" The woman was stunned when she heard that.

Then, she smiled self-deprecatingly: "No one in the world remembers my name. But this is not surprising. Many women lose their names after getting married and having children. From then on, they are just someone else's wife and someone else's mother."

She sighed and slowly moved her body, but this time, she only turned slightly and a crackling sound of bones came out.

"I named Yue'er Yue because I hope she will be happy and worry-free in her life."

"The surname of the Xiao family is not worthy of my Yue'er."

"But my last name is not worthy of Yue'er."

"So, I named her Su Yue after my mother's family name."

"I wonder if Miss will think that I gave you this name too casually."

Having said this, she laughed softly to herself.

When she mentioned the word 'Miss', she was as gentle as water.

But if it was really as the steward told the story, and Zhou Chuchu pushed her maid to "die" in her place, then why didn't the woman in front of her have any hatred?

"The young lady is a very nice person. I first met her twenty-two years ago."

She shook her head. "See, I even remember the date."

"Twenty-two years ago, on the seventh day of the seventh month, Fenxiang City was hit by heavy rain for days. The rain continued and incessantly. At midnight, the flood broke through the dam and seemed to be about to submerge the entire Fenxiang City."

"It was on that night that countless people fled to Mount Wangtian with their wives and children."

"I am no exception."

"At that time, I was the bully of Fenxiang City and the unfilial son of the Gu family. When the water flooded Fenxiang City, I actually felt happy. If it was all flooded, it would be fine."

"But just then, I saw the young lady."

"She walked with difficulty, holding a heavy box in her hands. She was already wrapped up, and in this rainy night, she seemed like she would fall down at any second."
