Daughter of a High Sect: Abandoned Concubine Reborn

Chapter 33 Illusion?

The next day was the day when Wei Xinyu's coffin was buried.

In June, it was already summer, but there was a lingering drizzle, and the rain was lingering, not at all as generous and heroic as summer rain.

The breeze is melodious, mixed with the aroma of earth.A few servants carried Wei Xinyu's gorgeous coffin out of Xiangfu, all the way to Qiling Mountain in the east. Ouyang Jinxuan, Zhao Ran'er, Ouyang Feixue, and Ouyang Luojie were supported by their maidservants. Umbrella walked in front, followed closely by the dozen or so mourners and a group of servants from the Prime Minister's Mansion who scattered paper money along the way.The mighty crowd seemed to be very grand, and there was a group of guards with knives in white clothes accompanying them along the way.

Along the way, none of Ouyang Jinxuan and the others took a carriage or a sedan chair. They walked for more than ten miles on foot. They thought they wanted to let people along the way see them, so as to suppress Wei Tianzheng's riot yesterday. The Xiangfu said that the second wife of the Xiangfu murdered the eldest lady.

It's a pity that this is for outsiders to see, so there is no real love.What happened yesterday was full of wind and rain in the city, so they naturally had to be careful not to let others talk about it.If these rumors are used by someone with a heart, and spread to the ears of the emperor, the Prime Minister's Mansion is afraid that trouble will be inevitable.

Qiling Mountain, located in the east of Jincheng, is the location of the ancestral graves of the Ouyang family for generations.

The mountain is full of evergreen trees, which look green and verdant from a distance.

Ouyang Jinxuan arranged Wei Xinyu's grave in the cemetery of the Ouyang family's mistress for generations, which is considered to have acknowledged Wei Xinyu's past status as the mistress of the Xiangfu.

It's just that Ouyang Feixue sneered in her heart. She has already left. No matter how good these face-saving things are, they are just for others to see and leave a good name for the Xiangfu. If it is true love, how can she bear to let her She suffered such injustice for nothing.This kind of posturing is really too hypocritical and fake.

When I arrived at the cemetery on Qiling Mountain, it was almost evening, the rain was still falling, the sky was surrounded by dark clouds, and I was so drowsy that I couldn't see the sun.

Zhao Ran'er looked at the neatly arranged tombs, each tablet was engraved with the name and identity of the deceased.The stone monuments, under the dark sky, were extraordinarily white and bright, with occasional glints of cold light, Zhao Ran'er instantly felt an inexplicable chill all over her body, her body trembled uncontrollably, but her eyes Calm and composed, in the eyes of others, it was just that she got wet from the rain and her clothes were a little cold.

However, Ouyang Feixue clearly noticed the lingering fear in her eyes, she secretly sneered in her heart, that's what the so-called guilty conscience looks like.

And Ouyang Luojie looked at so many tombstones, her face was pale, her eyes looked around in horror and vigilance, for fear that a ghost would jump out of a certain tomb.Her hands tightly grabbed Zhao Ran'er's clothes, and her body trembled slightly.

The rain didn't stop for a moment, getting bigger and bigger, hitting the soft soil, splashing mud and water.

The few people who were in charge of collecting the coffin into the ground managed to bury Wei Xinyu's coffin.The clothes on his body were already soaked in rain and sweat, and they were tightly attached to his body.

A servant walked up to Ouyang Jinxuan and said to him, "Prime Minister, it's raining heavily, and the way down the mountain may not be easy."

Ouyang Jinxuan looked at the downpour, and frowned, the rain was really heavy, the muddy road might have been washed away by the rain, and it was getting late, it would be dangerous to go down the mountain like this.

He ordered, "Forget it, let's rest on the mountain for a night."

Everyone took orders, and someone led the way to the attic not far ahead.

I saw that the attic has two floors, and its appearance is no different from that of ordinary teahouses on the street. Its simple structure is very different from the splendor of Xiangfu. The buildings stand among the deep mountains and lush forests.Looking from the wooden window sill in the attic, all I can see is a piece of greenery.

This attic is specially used to rest your feet when it is inconvenient to go down the mountain. Although it is not commonly used, someone will come to clean it every once in a while, so although it is simple, it is very clean.

There are only three master bedrooms in the attic. Originally, Ouyang Feixue had one, Ouyang Luojie had one, Zhao Ran'er and Ouyang Jinxuan had one, and the others just made do and squeezed together in the hall.

But Ouyang Luojie said that she was afraid alone and insisted on sleeping with Zhao Ran'er, and Ouyang Jinxuan had nothing to do with him, so she agreed.

On the other hand, Ouyang Feixue, who was quietly watching them, stood there for a long time without moving, but the expression on her face was unpredictable, making it hard to figure out what she was thinking.

She didn't smile until Mammy Tang called her, and followed Nanny Tang back to her room.

The thunder was rolling, the wind was howling, and the heavy rain was beating on the eaves.

The sky slowly darkened, until the cemetery not far away was gradually hidden in the night.

Ouyang Feixue followed the window to watch the changes in the sky outside, the corners of her mouth were slightly curved, as if she was smiling.

Next door, Ouyang Luojie hid nervously in Zhao Ran'er's arms, watching everything around her nervously. She always felt that this room was eerie.The thunder was still rumbling, and the rain was getting louder.

Zhao Ran'er was actually very scared at the moment, living next to so many graves made her horrified just thinking about it.But she didn't show her fear at all.

As the night gradually deepened, the guards guarding the door downstairs also fell asleep, and the burning lights in the room were constantly swaying by the wind, making the atmosphere very strange.

Ouyang Luojie's eyes also began to slowly become sleepy, and her eyelids closed involuntarily. Today, Ouyang Jinxuan was not allowed to sit in a sedan chair. After walking for a day, she was already too tired. It was just that she was too nervous before and couldn't sleep, but now she is really tired. What's more, I'm too sleepy.

Although Zhao Ran'er who was sleeping next to her had closed her eyes, her mind was extraordinarily clear.

She pricked up her ears and carefully watched the movement outside the house.

Suddenly, she heard a small sound, like footsteps, stepping on the wooden floor of the attic, the creaking sound was extra clear.

She opened her eyes suddenly and looked out of the window vigilantly, only to find a figure with disheveled hair slowly drifting past the window.

She closed her eyes in disbelief, and when she opened them again, there was nothing. She breathed a sigh of relief, perhaps because she was too tired today and had hallucinations.

However, just when she was about to ignore what happened just now, she saw the figure outside the window appear again. This time, the figure stood motionless outside the window and did not leave for a long time.Zhao Ran'er looked at the shadow outside the window in horror, and swallowed in fear.She kept reassuring herself that there are no ghosts in this world, so she shouted tremblingly, "Who!"
