Chapter 021: Buns (21)
Xing Ruyi didn't expect that the soul conjuring trick he recited did not summon back the ghost of the green branch, but summoned another evil ghost from hell. She knew it was no coincidence.
The wind blew up, and in a burst of tightness, and in an instant, the scorched earth of the entire ground was lifted.
With the roar of the evil spirit, small dirt bags bulged out on the ground one after another, and pale hands stretched out from under the dirt bags. Then there are the head, the shoulders, and the torso with varying degrees of decay. Those evil spirits, struggling, broke free from the dirt bag, and then ran towards Xing Ruyi one by one.
"Well, things seem to be getting more and more troublesome."
Xing Ruyi turned around in a circle, only to find that he had been surrounded by those evil ghosts. These demons who had just broken through the ground seemed to be a little different from the previous one, they were not afraid of the fire burning on Xing Ruyi's fingertips, but like controlled puppets, they opened their tattered mouths and went straight to Xing Ruyi.
A cluster of ghost fire was struck out, and the evil ghost that was hit turned into a pile of ghost scum with painful spasms. The rest, without the slightest fear, pounced faster.
"It's over, these things seem to be scared." Xing Ruyi dodged left and right, returned to the fox as fast as possible, pointed at those evil ghosts and said: "It's too much, it's tiring and panicked to fight, so please ask your husband to work hard for the rest." β
"Can a husband refuse?"
The fox waved his sleeves, and a few demons who wanted to get close were turned into ashes.
"No, you can't!" Xing Ruyi hung on the fox: "The consequences of rejecting your own wife are very serious." β
The fox sighed: "Madame has become a lot more stupid recently, don't you know the truth that the thief captures the king first?" β
As he spoke, he directly shot out a bright light, and the bright light turned into a beam of light halfway through, piercing straight through the heart of the demon that appeared first. The demon turned into a plume of black smoke in an instant. The big demons are gone, and the little ghosts he summoned have naturally disappeared without a trace. The grove has returned to the state it was in before the conjuring.
"That's it?" Xing Ruyi slipped down from the fox with some disappointment: "I thought there was a wonderful battle of foxes and ghosts to watch." β
"Madame is really a character who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic." The fox shook his head, "The evil spirits are gone, but the main culprit who summoned the evil spirits is still there." β
"The main culprit?"
"It's the one who stole the old fox's cultivation." The fox lowered his head, smiled at Xing Ruyi, and looked behind her: "Am I right, Yingniang?" Perhaps, you weren't originally called that name. β
Tassel girl? It's really a tassel girl!
Different from the proprietress of the bun shop I saw before, the lady at this time was dressed in black, and her face was also covered with black veil, standing in the dark, as if she was one with the heavy black.
"Yingniang thinks that she has hidden it well, but she doesn't want to, but she was discovered by Yin Gongzi."
"You have the breath of an old fox on you, and although it is one with your own breath, when you summon that evil spirit, you still leak some of it. Originally, I was only suspicious, but it wasn't until I smelled that familiar smell that I was sure that you were the one who took the old fox's cultivation. β
"It was just a coincidence." Yingniang said, and walked to Xing Ruyi and the fox: "Just now, Yingniang just wanted to test Madame, and she didn't have the intention of harming her, so please don't be embarrassed by Madame." β
"Just a temptation? Do you know that the demon you summoned almost ate me? β
"Madame, seriously. Mo said that there was still Yin Gongzi next to his wife, just the ghost card hanging on his wife's body was not an ordinary thing. Such a bad ghost can't help his wife. β
"You actually recognize the ghost card?"
"Naturally." Yingniang had some self-deprecation between her eyebrows: "Yingniang was also a lonely soul in this world, and she tried her best to avoid the pursuit of ghosts. How can you not recognize this ghost card? β
"But Yingniang doesn't have any ghost spirit."
"That's because she borrowed the corpse to resurrect her soul and hid her ghost."
"Yin Gongzi even sees this? The Qingqiu clan is really not to be underestimated. β
"What do you have to do with the Yang family, and why do you want to involve Ruyi?"
"Yin Gongzi is wrong, Yingniang originally had no intention of involving Mrs. in these rights and wrongs. It's just that when Mrs. was buying buns, Yingniang accidentally caught a glimpse of the ghost card hanging from her waist. Yingniang has been hunted by ghosts for many years, so she naturally knows that this ghost has both yin and yang. Yingniang didn't know if Mrs. was here for Yingniang, so she moved some thoughts and wanted to find out the details of Madame. β
"That concubine of the Yang family was also summoned by you, right?"
"Madame got the idea?"
"No matter how stupid you are, you should have thought of it. What Yingniang said just now, she said that she moved some thoughts and wanted to explore the details of Ruyi. Coincidentally, when Ruyi went to buy steamed buns, he met the concubine of the Yang family. β
"She's also a poor person. When she was a slave maid in Yang's mansion, she suffered a lot of grievances, if she wasn't honest and obedient, and had no other thoughts, Mrs. Yang would not have given her to Master Yang as a concubine before leaving. It is said that if she becomes the person next to Master Yang, her life will be much better than before, but in a place like Yang's Mansion, how can she stay as an honest slave.
Whether it is the young lady of the Yang Mansion, the uncle, or even the housekeeper has their own thoughts. She made a concubine for Master Yang, but she couldn't help herself, and she was forced to round the house, and she was even more designed. finally got pregnant, and after asking for a little benefit in Yang's mansion, she and the child both became a thorn in the side of others, a thorn in the flesh. After Master Yang died, she was forced to be buried and buried in that place. β
"You saved that child, right?"
Yingniang nodded: "At that time, I happened to pass by, and when I saw that she was pitiful and connected with my fate, I helped her." It's just that Yingniang's ability is limited, and she can only help a little.
That night, when I met my wife, I knew that my wife was not an ordinary person. I called her here, first, I wanted to test Mrs. and see if Mrs. was a ghost in the world. Second, I also hope that Mrs. can help their mother and son. β
"Fire ...... in the Grove"
"It was put by the tassel girl. The wish of the deceased has been fulfilled, and keeping that grove any longer will only add to the troubles of the living. This one is burning, but it's clean. β
"Next question, those people, are they really the ones that Green Branch asked you to kill?"
"Yes, not really." Yingniang smiled: "Isn't Madam trying to summon the ghost of the green branch?" Her ghost is here. β
As soon as Yingniang let go, the soul of the green branch rolled out of her cuffs.
"Green branches?"
Xing Ruyi identified it, and saw that it was the maid who died in the back garden, so he stepped forward and helped her up.
Green Zhi looked at Xing Ruyi in a panic, and when his eyes fell on Yingniang's face, panic turned into fear, and even his body trembled.
"How did you die?"
Green Branch glanced at Yingniang, and then replied tremblingly: "Green Branch doesn't remember, but it should have been killed by my young lady." β
"Your young lady? You mean, you were killed by Miss Yangfu. Aren't you Miss Yang's personal maid? β
"Yes! I'm Miss's maid, but I'm not her personal maid. There was resentment in Lu Zhi's eyes: "In the eyes of the young lady, except for the nurse who serves her, we maids are insignificant at all, let alone the word close. I'm just a rough maid who helps Miss run errands and errands. β
"In that case, why did Miss Yang Fu kill you?"
"That's because...... Because the lord likes me and wants to take me as a concubine. The young lady was jealous, and when she knew about it, she couldn't tolerate me anymore. β
"Sir?"
"Master Su is also Miss's fiancΓ©."
"In this way, it was the maid who hooked up with the husband of her own master, and the master was angry and ashamed, so he secretly killed him."
"What hookup? My lord and I are in love. Lu Zhi looked at Xing Ruyi with some annoyance: "Yes, my Lu Zhi is from a humble background, and I am indeed not worthy of the master, but it is more than enough to be a concubine of the master." At least, in the master's heart, my green branch is much stronger than Miss.
Because there is only one young lady in the Yang family, and the old lady was already old when she gave birth to the young lady, she naturally indulged and pampered the young lady in every way. When the young lady was young, she was already very domineering. The old lady was worried that when the young lady grew up, no one would dare to go to the Yang Mansion to propose marriage, so she sent the child of the relative's family, that is, the current Master Su, to the mansion. Master Su is the husband raised by the old lady for the young lady. β
"Breeding?"
"That's right! Master Su said it himself. The old man told the slave maid that since he was sensible, the old lady told him over and over again that he was the fiancΓ© of the young lady, and that he should take the young lady as the main thing in everything, take into account the emotions of the young lady, tolerate the willfulness and rudeness of the young lady, and even asked him to spoil the young lady like them, and let her mess around and make trouble.
No matter how good the temper is, no matter how good the old man is, he will be annoyed after years like this. But he had no choice, he was raised by the Yang family, and the Yang family was kind to him, so he couldn't leave Miss alone and leave it alone. So, he told me that no matter how much he liked me, he could only wronged me to be a concubine. β
Speaking of that Su Tianlin, the green branch's eyes will shine brightly.
"I'm a maid, and I know that there are only two fates for me. One is that when he reaches his age, he is casually pointed out by the housekeeper, and then gives birth to a child, and continues to be a slave and a maid in the Yang family. The other is to be the master's concubine, although the status is only a little better than that of the maid, but the mother is more expensive than the son, and my child can at least be a young master, even if it is just a concubine. β
"But your young lady can't allow your aunt to take a concubine."
"It's not that she can't tolerate my aunt's concubine, but she can't tolerate it, my belly bulges before her, and I gave birth to a child earlier than her." Green Zhi said, bowing his head and holding his stomach: "I don't know if it's providence, my young lady actually has a strange disease, she can't give birth to a child, and she can't give birth to a child." Because of this strange disease, the lord refused to marry her for a long time, and she had no way to force the lord, so she could only use the Yang family and use the Yang family's properties to keep the lord by her side.
The old man said that as long as he got the Yang family's properties, he would give the Yang family the surname Su. When the time comes, my child will be the eldest young master of the Su family. β
"It's really clear that the retribution is unpleasant. The Yang family's property was stolen from someone else, but I didn't expect that after a reincarnation, it would also be taken away by an outsider. Yingniang sneered and looked at the green branch: "It's a pity, your child is gone, he can't be the eldest young master of the Su family." β
