The question Xia Liang mentioned is actually very simple. If you look carefully, with Gu Yumo's keen observation and wisdom, it is not difficult to guess what the answer is.
Here, the original design is really powerful and very scheming.
It's a pity that Xia Zhijie and others didn't pay much attention to it at all, and they didn't specially arrange people to prune and cultivate these flowers and plants.
In this way, the power of the original rune is greatly weakened.
And this also shows that Xia Zhijie and others don't care at all, or, they have completely forgotten about it.
Therefore, even if they destroyed the flowers and trees here, as long as they didn't blatantly move the black stone, they would definitely not be opposed by Xia Zhijie, let alone make him aware of their purpose.
Now, with Gu Yumo's status, moving some flowers and plants casually is just a matter of one sentence.
After thinking about these things in an instant, Gu Yumo checked carefully again, determined the plants to be removed, and then turned and left.
There are some things that naturally cannot be rushed, nor can they be rushed.
... ... ...
Because of Xia Zhuguang's death and the appearance of those two items belonging to Xia Yu'er, Mrs. Xia was in a panic. Even if the wind blew the curtain, it would scare her half to death, and she would scream out from time to time.
Such Mrs. Xia made Xia Zhijie very annoyed. She reprimanded her several times, but it didn't have any effect. Instead, she became more and more afraid.
Xia Zhijie was already extremely depressed, but facing Mrs. Xia's madness and panic, he became even more irritable.
Even though today is the day of his son's first mourning, he does not want to stay at home.
Because, he doesn't want to face his wife for a moment, let alone let her remind him all the time—
That beautiful and beautiful daughter was killed by herself.
For the reputation of the eldest son, Xia Zhijie killed that daughter back then, and it was not without regret in his heart, after all, that was also his daughter.
However, this remorse was not much after all, and when facing Xia Yuer's revenge, what Xia Zhijie did was not to repent, but to destroy and suppress even more cruelly!
In the evening, when Xia Zhijie came back from outside, he heard the servant report to him——
"Master, this afternoon, Mr. Gu fell in love with a peony in the back garden, and wanted to order the little ones to transplant it into a flowerpot for him. However, when Mr. Gu found out that you were not in the mansion, I didn’t let the little ones do it, but specifically asked you to get your permission before doing this thing.”
"It's just a peony. Mr. Gu is worthy of being from a noble family, which is really polite." Xia Zhijie waved his hand when he heard it, couldn't help smiling, and said,
"Go ahead, transplant that peony carefully, so as not to damage it."
When the servant got the order, he immediately responded, turned around and left, and immediately went to deal with the matter.
After Xia Zhijie waited for the servants to leave, he paused for a moment looking at the already late sky, and chose to go to Aunt Liu's place.
For this new concubine, Xia Zhijie dotes on her from the bottom of his heart.
And this doting is more because of Aunt Liu's appearance, compared to other wives and concubines in the mansion, Aunt Liu's appearance is naturally first-class.
However, there is still a reason, Xia Zhijie felt that there was something cryptic and difficult to explain to others.
That is, Aunt Liu's appearance is so similar to the third daughter who died, especially when Aunt Liu smiled, the way her eyebrows and eyes slightly curved made him feel a little dazed several times.
He dotes on Aunt Liu and often eats at her place. He doesn't know whether he wants to make up for something, or there is another taboo and dirty idea.
...
And at this moment, in Furong Courtyard, that is, Aunt Liu's courtyard.
Xia Liang sat on the pedestal, saw that Aunt Liu had only eaten a few mouthfuls, then put down the bowls and chopsticks, and couldn't help saying,
"Auntie, you eat too little, you should use more."
"Auntie sees you happy and not hungry, and wants to talk to you more." Seeing that she was sitting far away, Aunt Liu couldn't help but blamed,
"Come here, my aunt is not used to you sitting so far away."
"I'm a ghost after all, not a human being. Getting close to your aunt will be bad for your health." Xia Liang shook her head and refused with a serious face.
"Your child, you have a real idea." Aunt Liu smiled, and didn't force her anymore, so she chatted with Xia Liang about the things she had with Xia Liang's mother when she was a child.
Xia Liang didn't talk much, but would occasionally chime in with a smile. Seeing her happy appearance because of the memory, there was a trace of warmth in her heart.
The two of them were chatting happily when they heard a servant girl outside reporting that the master had come.
When Aunt Liu heard that Xia Zhijie had arrived, her originally happy expression immediately turned into a vicious and resentful expression.
"Yu'er, leave quickly." Aunt Liu hurriedly stood up, waved her hands anxiously at Xia Liang, urging her to leave.
Aunt Liu naturally didn't want Xia Liang to see that when she faced Xia Zhijie, she had to pretend to be false and flattering and laughing.
Because of her like that, Aunt Liu would feel ashamed, and she naturally didn't want her relatives to see such a bad side.
Seeing the panic in her eyes and her tightly pursed lips, Xia Liang nodded, and said obediently,
"Auntie, I'm leaving first. I'm afraid that when I see that beast, I can't help but want to kill him."
"Be patient, let's kill him in the end!" Aunt Liu tore off the square handkerchief in her hand, her eyes flickered, and she whispered.
Xia Liang nodded and seemed to disappear in front of her immediately.
In fact, Xia Liang didn't leave, she just hid herself, and didn't let Aunt Liu see her anymore.
At this moment, she was standing above the door of the room, pulled her hair to the front again, and then floated in the air. When Xia Zhijie pushed the door and entered, Xia Liang immediately descended from the air...
"ah!!"
Xia Zhijie was terrified by the black-haired female ghost in white clothes who suddenly appeared in front of him. With a scream, he took a sharp step back and fell to the ground because he tripped over the threshold!
However, when he looked at the past again, there was no female ghost, there was nothing.
The figure just now seemed to be dazzled!
Aunt Liu was also startled by Xia Zhijie's action. Seeing his terrified look, a hint of doubt could not help filling her eyes.
However, Aunt Liu quickly suppressed this doubt, but stepped forward, pretending to be concerned and asked,
"Master, what's wrong with you? Why did you fall to the ground all of a sudden?"
"Did you see a white shadow just now, did you?" Xia Zhijie asked with his eyes wide open, unable to hide his horror.
