Mrs. An Si said, scooping up the soup from the spoon and feeding it to the old lady.

At the moment when the spoon was delivered—

Suddenly, her eyes went dark, and the candles in the entire room went out in an instant, plunging into darkness.

"Bang-"

Mrs. An Si only felt that her wrist was numb, and the white porcelain soup bowl was knocked over to the ground by her hand.

"What's going on? Come! Come and ......"

However, as soon as she was halfway through her shouting, she only felt a pain in her neck, and she could no longer make a sound in her throat.

"Plop...... Thump...... Plop ......"

Immediately afterwards, with the sound of three heavy objects falling to the ground in a row, Mrs. An Si turned her head to look-

Mama Huai and the two maidservants behind her also fell limply to the ground.

The whole room instantly fell into a deathly silence.

Mrs. An Si was so frightened that the hairs on her body stood on end.

In her sight, a tall figure with a rickety body, with a cloak falling from the sky, fell silently not far away......

"Ghost ...... Ghost ......"

Mrs. An's lips trembled, and she said the word silently.

At this moment, her mind instantly echoed with Mrs. Zhao's terrible curse during the day-

"Before dawn tomorrow, your life will be taken away by your ancestors!"

Ancestors...... Took it......

What the hell......

Mrs. An's eyes rolled, and she fainted in fright!

The old lady Shen, who hugged the quilt tightly on the bed and sat up straight, asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?" ”

She lives at the border all the year round, and she is a family member of a military general, so she is used to seeing wind and waves, and she is quite calm.

"Ahem...... Ahem......"

In the darkness, the rickety black shadow did not move.

But there was an old and hoarse voice that was panting hard and sounded out of nowhere, echoing throughout the room: "Shufen...... It's ...... me."

"Old, sir?" Old Lady Shen's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Ahem...... Cough...... It's ...... me."

The black shadow leaned back and took two trembling steps closer to her.

At this moment, Old Lady Shen's eyes were barely adapting to the darkness.

Her husband Shen Wanshan, who has been dead for many years, was in the early years of the Guanwai expedition to the tribe, and he injured his lungs by taking drugs and cigarettes, and coughed all the year round.

Later, when he was dying, he spoke like this...... Wheezing, hoarse tones.

Since the old man's death, Mrs. Shen has lived alone in Fuyun Temple, and she has not heard anyone call her by her maiden name like this for many years.

Because of this cough, and her maiden name......

The old lady looked at the black shadow in front of her, and she saw a little familiarity.

At this moment, Mrs. Shen immediately thought of the words of "ancestral purpose" and "seeking justice" before the Zhao family was dragged away today-

Her heart was blocked, and her tone was a little aggrieved: "Master...... Even you think that I have mistreated the big house? ”

"Ahem...... Cough...... Ahem......"

The voice coughed weakly, and said hoarsely, "Shufen...... You're right, it's that poisonous woman from the Zhao family who wants to harm you! I have come to save you with the will of the Shen Ancestor. This ginseng soup is poisonous, and the Zhao family wants to borrow the hand of the fourth daughter-in-law to kill you, and she wants to kill our children and wives...... Shufen...... You have to protect this family, don't let the Zhao family's poisonous woman succeed...... Be vigilant and remember...... Don't forget ......"

As the sound grew inaudible, the shadow slowly receded until it disappeared into the darkness.

It all happened so fast that it was like a dream.

"Sir...... You can say a few more words to me, sir......" Old Lady Shen called softly in a choked voice.

However, only the silence of the room filled her.

"Old lady...... This is...... What's wrong? Fast! Quick Palm Lamp ......"

In an instant, the grandmothers and maidservants who had fainted earlier all woke up.

With the sound of their noisy footsteps, two dark figures silently jumped out of the half-open window in the dark corner outside.

Wait until the handmaid has the lamp in her hand—

What caught everyone's eyes was the old lady sitting at the head of the bed with tears on her face, and Mrs. An Si who fell to the ground unconscious.

"Quick...... Quickly help the fourth wife to the soft couch, and go to the doctor. Mama Huai commanded.

Old Mrs. Shen wiped her tears and instructed her, "You go in person and call Shen Xing and the others, I have something to say." ”

*

Outside the pine twilight fast.

Shen Shu was out of the window and quietly looked inside.

Under the light of the lamp, the incense ash mark on the eyebrows of the grandmother and the fourth aunt has disappeared.

Now, she heard that her grandmother was going to call a few elders into Songduzhai overnight, and finally let go of the heart that had been hanging.

Half an hour ago—

When she and Shadow Wood sneaked into Songdusai, they happened to smell the smell of ginseng soup wafting from the small kitchen.

Ginseng is good ginseng.

But the aroma of mushrooms mixed in the soup is by no means a good thing.

It is the unique green cordyceps in the Yunjiang poisonous miasma forest.

Cordyceps is a fungus that grows from green worms that have died in a poisonous miasma.

With the unique fragrance of mushrooms.

If you grind it into powder, you can poison a cow with just a few fingernails.

It's just that almost no one can set foot in the Yunjiang poisonous miasma forest, and few people know about this kind of green cordyceps.

Shen Shu smelled the fragrance of the soup, and the toxicity of Cordyceps instantly appeared in his mind.

With only three or five spoonfuls, in less than half an hour, it can make people bleed to death.

Calculate the time, that bowl of soup is the root of my grandmother's imminent life!

The soup must be boiled at night to calm the nerves before going to bed.

From the news that Shen Shu brought back from Green Peach, she knew that the fourth aunt was serving her grandmother in Songduzhai.

Combined with the incense ash marks she saw from the eyebrows of the two—

It must be the Zhao family who poisoned the soothing soup and fed it to his grandmother through the hands of the fourth aunt.

If my grandmother dies of poison —

The fourth aunt poisoned her mother-in-law with her own hands is a heinous crime, which will not only affect a pair of children, but also affect the reputation of her mother's family.

With the temperament of the fourth aunt, she will definitely commit suicide.

This is the reason why the ash mark on the center of the fourth aunt's eyebrows is slightly longer than that of her grandmother.

Sure enough, it's an extremely vicious backhand!

Shen Shu originally wanted to quietly break the soup pot and solve this poison situation.

But when she thought about it, Cordyceps is rare in the world, and ordinary people can't get it at all, even if the posthumous autopsy is performed, it may not be able to be detected.

Where did this poison come from, and how did it get there?

Shen Shu didn't know anything.

Before the Zhao family was dragged out of Songduzhai, in the name of the ancestor of the Shen family, he cursed the Shen family to die one by one.

This means that—

To confirm her curse, she will definitely have a backhand.

Whether it is from the origin of Cordyceps or Zhao's unseen backhand, this kind of trick is by no means something that an ordinary woman in the Zhao family can do.

If Shen Shu quietly broke the soup pot this time, he would only be saved for a while.

Like this afternoon, the Shen family has lost their guard, she has limited strength alone, she can't keep an eye on everyone all the time, and maybe something will happen......

After thinking about it, Shen Shu decided to let Ying Wu pretend to be the old lady Shen who had long since died.

And she, relying on the vague impression in her mind, used her experience of playing the old student in the play book from childhood to adulthood, imitated the characteristics of the old lady, and spoke on the beams of the house......

"Let's go, let's go to the ancestral hall."

Coming out of Songduzhai, Shen Shu pleaded with Ying Wu: "Wait until the ancestral hall, I will bother you to pretend to be a ghost again, this time I will return it to others in the way of others." ”
