Because of Xia Zhuguang's death, and the appearance of the blood-stained silver bell lock and the peach hairpin, Xia Zhijie and the others couldn't help feeling terrified and restless.
Mrs. Xia knelt there, her face full of horror, thinking that Xia Yu'er had returned, that she had come back to take revenge on them.
No matter how the eldest son explained to her, she didn't believe it, she just trembled, feared, and panicked.
After Gu Yumo returned to the room again, Xia Liang couldn't help guessing and said,
"Seeing that Mrs. Xia is so panic-stricken, I think she must be the culprit who killed me."
"Not necessarily." Gu Yumo lifted the teapot, poured a cup of tea, and was about to drink it when he was immediately reprimanded,
"The tea is cold, and you still drink it! Put it down quickly, and ask Gu Zhu to bring you some new hot tea."
Gu Yumo paused the hand holding the teacup, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but he put down the teacup and said,
"If you can show up and meet that Aunt Liu, you may be able to learn a lot of things. I am a man, and it is inconvenient to see her after all. If I don't do it well, I will cause trouble and misunderstanding."
The Aunt Liu that Gu Yumo was talking about was the woman who looked very similar to Xia Yuer. Just now, Gu Yumo sent Gu Zhu to inquire about it, and found out that she was Xia Zhijie's new concubine last year, named Liu Yiyi, everyone Everyone calls her Aunt Liu.
It is said that this Aunt Liu is not from Jushui County, but from a foreign country.
It's just that when I came here last year, I was very down and out, and almost fell into a brothel, but because of her beauty, I didn't know how many years later, Xia Zhijie took a fancy to her, took her back directly, and made her his aunt.
He has been in the mansion for a year, and he is very much loved by Xia Zhijie, he is favored, and has been targeted by his wife and other aunts.
However, because she has a good way of winning over and flattering Xia Zhijie, and has always been favored, other people dare not do excessive things to her even if they are jealous.
Therefore, she still has some status in this Xiafu.
"Hurry up. I can come out when I raise it again." Xia Liang said, "You should rest quickly, it seems that the day will be bright soon."
Hearing that she could show up soon, Gu Yumo couldn't help feeling a little bit of joy and anticipation in his heart.
After lying on his back on the bed, Gu Yumo couldn't fall asleep for a while, his mind was always thinking about what happened today.
Because he was deep in thought, his hand couldn't help touching the jade pendant on his chest, and as before, he gently stroked the lines on the jade pendant with his fingertips.
"Hehe... Are you tickling me again?" Xia Liang felt itchy all over his body after being touched by him, so she couldn't help but said with a smile.
"No, I'm sorry, I'm so offensive. I was thinking about something just now, and I was fascinated for a while, and I forgot that you are in the jade pendant now."
Gu Yumo was a little embarrassed by what she said, and immediately withdrew his hand, and his white jade-like ears were also stained with red.
"You used to like touching this jade pendant when you were thinking about things?" Xia Liang asked curiously.
"Well, when I can't fall asleep, I will hold it to think about things." Gu Yumo responded, and added, "It feels good in the hand."
This sentence feels very good, and when it is said at this time, there is obviously an ambiguous sense of meaning.
After speaking, Gu Yumo's ears turned redder, and he felt a little hot all over his body.
"Hey, son, is your typhoid fever still not healed? Why do I feel that your body is so hot now?" Xia Liang pretended not to know his current state, and asked innocently.
"The typhoid fever is gone." Gu Yumo quickly took the jade pendant off his neck, put it on the side of the pillow, and said, "It's getting late, Miss Xia, I'll go to bed first."
After finishing speaking, Gu Yumo turned over and turned his back to Xia Liang's direction.
Xia Liang sighed softly in the jade pendant, and also closed her eyes.
Now, let's finish the matter of the Xia Mansion first. As for how to stay in the future, we will wait until the task is completed.
...
The morning of the second day.
After Gu Yumo got up, he found that the mansion had been hung with white silk, the coffin, and the mourning hall had all been set up.
This Xia Mansion also seemed to be shrouded in a oppressive and dull atmosphere, the servants who came and went were all tied with hemp ropes, and they lowered their heads and walked in a hurry.
Now that there is a funeral in the mansion, it is naturally inappropriate for Gu Yumo to stay here any longer.
However, Gu Yumo didn't say anything, and Xia Zhijie wanted to get in touch with him. As long as Gu Yumo didn't take the initiative to leave, naturally, Xia Zhijie wouldn't take the initiative to ask him to leave.
Gu Yumo got up after a little bit of padding, and was going to take advantage of the chaos in the mansion to go to the area where Xia Liang's ashes were suspected to be suppressed yesterday.
Maybe there will be a big harvest!
One of them is in the southwest, next to the rockery group in the back garden, which is also Gu Yumo's first destination.
Because the people in the mansion are basically busy with Xia Zhuguang's affairs, so Gu Yumo walked all the way, and basically didn't meet a single person in the back garden.
"Wait. There is someone in front, move gently, and get closer." Gu Yumo was about to go towards the rockery in front, but at this moment, Xia Liang directly stopped his movement and gave a warning.
After hearing her words, Gu Yumo immediately lightened his footsteps, and slowly walked forward a few more steps, and sure enough, he heard the faint voice of a conversation coming from the other side.
"No... no... can't do that, I dare not... I can't..."
"You listen to me... there is absolutely nothing wrong... this time... it is the eldest son... he is dead... he can..."
Because the voice was too low and the distance was too far, Gu Yumo couldn't see people clearly at all. Of course, he couldn't hear what they were talking about. He could only vaguely hear the words of some eldest son or something dead.
Could it be that this person's next goal is to kill Xia Zhuyao? !
"I'll go take a look..." Xia Liang finished speaking, and then, under Gu Yumo's slightly surprised gaze, she saw her, and suddenly seemed to fly out of his body...
Then, Xia Liang turned her head and smiled at him, then flicked her sleeves and floated forward...
The white figure, the way his sleeves fluttered, and the way he smiled at him all made Gu Yumo's heart skip a beat.
Ruo Ruo... Ruo Ruo looks a little more beautiful than she did a few days ago.
However, it was a bright day and the sun was shining brightly, so she ran out of the jade pendant in such a careless manner? !
Will there be no problem? !
Xia Liang flew out like this, in fact, there are not too many problems. During the period of time she stayed in the jade pendant, not only did her soul condense a lot, but she also seemed to have some new skills—
She can now choose whether to let others see herself.
