At this time, it was evening, and the twilight was fading.

The orange glow shrouded the neatly set up street lamps on the side of the road, and the hazy warm light reflected on the ground, as if to drape the city with a soft veil.

Across the road.

Most of them are detached buildings, which are completely different from those high-rise buildings in the center of the city, and the houses here look a little old, but they exude a quiet and calm atmosphere, as if as long as you stand here, you can smell the changes in the city in the past century.

My gaze swept to an antique house, with some dry vine branches on the high gray and white brick walls, hanging loosely and loosely, refusing to leave the place where they once grew and climbing, and two tall banyan trees peeking out of the corners of the yard, their branches and leaves coming out of the wall, and the green leaves were sparsely hung, looking very sluggish.

The double-opening log-colored wooden door closes tightly, as if it hasn't been opened in a long time.

Just by looking at it, I recognized that this was the Sheng family I had been staying in the dream for a long time.

After staring at the house for a long time, Ye Dingxi asked, "What, don't you feel comfortable here?"

I shook my head, as if I had an aftertaste, and smiled faintly, "Although I have never been to the front yard in my dreams, let alone walked out of that gate, for some reason, I actually had a familiar feeling. ”

On the side, Hua Quan reminded: "Madam, the elders of the Wei family have repeatedly told you that you had better not wander away from the body of the living, otherwise even if there is a dream tapir medicine to repair the remnants, the effect will not be great." ”

Saying this, I naturally nodded obediently.

"I made a note of it. ”

"Then let's go in and have a look. Ye Dingxi said.

Across the road, we came to the front of the Sheng family's house, and as soon as we approached the sealed door, I felt an eerie aura slowly spreading from inside.

"This breath is very similar to that in the Xu family's old house. ”

I frowned and rubbed my nose a little uncomfortably.

Ye Dingxi and the others didn't seem to smell this smell at all, they glanced at each other, and secretly raised their vigilance.

Pull.

The seal was torn open by Zhu Yan, and before the door in disrepair could be gently pushed, it had already opened gently to both sides with a squeaky and dry sound.

Ahem.

The dust falling from the door choked Hua Quan and I couldn't help coughing lightly.

There are no lights in the yard, and it is even darker than the road, and when I look at the front yard by the sunset that has not completely receded, I can see many withered potted plants scattered on both sides of a stone road, and a gust of wind blows through the hall, accompanied by the dead air of rotting flowers and plants, which makes people feel that this place is full of gloomy.

In addition, there is the hall at the end of the stone road, the antique building, the use of hanging corner cornices, mahogany doors and windows, under the steps of the front door, scattered a few pieces of green tile fragments that fell at some point.

The hall was pitch black, with only two rows of mahogany chairs used to welcome guests, and a few calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, as if waiting for their owners to come and taste them.

The Sheng family has always been a scholarly family, and my understanding of the small courtyard where Sheng and Xuan live, so I was not surprised by the style of the front yard and the hall, and even when a few of us approached the hall, I felt a strange sense of déjà vu.

It's as if I haven't been there, but I can clearly see the scene when Xu Yayun first came to Sheng's house to propose marriage.

Xu Yayun, who is young and not as blessed as he is now, and is always accustomed to bowing, looks very humble, but it is more of a flattering gesture that borders on flattery.

When Sheng Hexuan was led into the hall by Xiao Yuan, Xu Yayun's eyes were tilted upward, clearly looking at Xiao Yuan, who was more concave and convex, until he glanced at her from chest to toe, and then got up to greet Sheng Hexuan, his fiancée.

The dowry he brought was richer than I imagined, although it was not a precious gold and silver money, but it was very much to his liking, taking care of the vassal and elegant Sheng Wei, the keen to plant flowers and grass, and the obsessive painting Sheng Hexuan.

Books, potted plants of rare flowers, and watercolor paints collected from abroad, etc., although these are not real dowries, they make the Sheng family's parents very happy.

After all, they all knew very well that it was impossible for this prospective son-in-law, who was personally selected by them, to come up with anything valuable

, in this way, it can be regarded as dedication, which shows his intentions for this marriage and his sincerity to Sheng Hexuan.

At that time, Sheng Wei and his wife, how satisfied they were with Xu Yayun, and even liked him very much because of his inappropriate identity, as if only this kind of young man who was born but was self-reliant and self-reliant would bring happiness to their only daughter.

"East, what are you looking at?"

With a cold sound in my ears, the phantom-like picture in front of me dissipated like smoke, disappeared without a trace, at this moment I was standing, facing a yellowed calligraphy and painting, the corners were a little damaged, the handwriting was free and vigorous, and it was everyone's work at a glance.

"After I walked in, I saw some pictures that I hadn't seen in my dreams before, and I saw Xu Yayun ten years ago. "I don't mean to hide it from them.

Ye Dingxi's eyes were as black as paint, and he glanced at the calligraphy and paintings on the wall expressionlessly, and said, "A feng shui array has been set up here." ”

Over here?!

I woke up in an instant, and kept looking around, but I didn't find any strange ornaments.

At this time, Zhu Yan walked over, playing with a round and smooth gray pebble in his hand, and said lightly: "The formation here should have been arranged for a long time, so it will only have a hallucinogenic effect on Madame, and the person who arranged the formation should not be a high-level cultivator, probably just trying to use what happened in the hall to scare off the people who entered this courtyard." ”

Hearing Zhu Yan's words, I couldn't help but feel a little strange, what benefit could this practice have for the person who arranged the formation?

Unless......

"If this formation was arranged a few years ago, before the Sheng family was seized, it should have been the handiwork of the housekeeper Xu Zecheng, he probably didn't want the Sheng family's house to be auctioned off. ”

"Xu Zecheng is really loyal to Mrs. Xu, if his uncle had one percent of his conscience, he would not have harmed the two families what they are today!" Hua Quan complained coldly behind us.

For this kind of strife between families, she has been used to it since she was a child, and she is naturally the most disgusted, but it is true that the Wei family's internal strife is also the Wei family's own business behind closed doors.
