Chapter 145: Shocking
"That's really not your mother, after death, the soul leaves the body, your mother is afraid that she has already been reincarnated, what you are left behind is just a shell, even if it does not decay, your mother will not return to the soul, and the one who occupies the shell may be some lonely soul and wild ghost. But it's no wonder you, the mother-daughter relationship is justified, Mama Qin took this point and lifted your mother's body out of the ground, she had premeditated it and had nothing to do with you. Cheng Jin handed her a handkerchief.
When Zhu was alive, he thought that Cheng Yu was also a thousand pets, and the harder Cheng Yu lived in the world, the more he missed the warmth given by his biological mother.
"What's going on?"
Mrs. Cheng's voice sounded from behind them, the withered locust tree that fell to the ground, the stiff corpse, and a few maids and women lying on the ground dazedly and didn't know what was happening, and the most important thing was that Cheng Jin and Wen Shaoan stood in front of Cheng Yu, who was crying endlessly, such a picture gave Mrs. Cheng a very bad premonition.
"Mrs. Cheng, can you take a step to speak?" Wen Shaoan stepped forward.
Mrs. Cheng glanced at him hesitantly, but finally chose to believe him and glanced at Cheng Yu, "After all, this is the inner courtyard, and Miss Yu's family has a bad reputation, so go to the flower hall." ”
Cheng Jin looked at the few servants carrying lamps outside the courtyard, and knew that Mrs. Cheng saw that they had disappeared, and came to them with lanterns, worried about her reputation, and there were not many people with her, and they were all confidants, but this incident happened in the mansion, and it was not easy to seal it, but if it was spread, not to mention that the people in the mansion were panicking, and even the Chengenhou Mansion outside would have some discussions, maybe someone would take the opportunity to participate in them, and the matter of her lost soul recovery might also be used by people with a heart to make a fuss.
"A-Niang, don't go to the flower hall......"
As soon as she opened her mouth, she was glared back by Mrs. Cheng, she left her and Wen Shaoan to talk in the flower hall, she believed that the two of them were upright, who knew that she actually brought her foreign man into the inner courtyard, and she made such a fuss, and the reputation of the girl in the mansion was gone.
Cheng Jin touched his nose and decided to leave this hot potato to Wen Shao'an, just when he caught a glimpse of Cheng Yu sitting on the side in despair, remembering that if there was no Cheng Yu this morning, I am afraid that she would have been poisoned by Mama Qin at that time, she owed this favor, so she raised her voice and said to the servants, "Mama Qin suddenly fell ill and died, the sixth girl was frightened, you help her into the house to rest first." ”
Mrs. Cheng glared at her, she didn't want her own reputation, but she still had time to worry about others? And these mothers-in-law who cowered forward are also stupid, and they even let a foreign man go to the inner courtyard, and they don't know how to stop them, are the rules in Chengenhou's mansion all decorations?
And this Wen Shaoan looks like a steady and polite person, but he didn't expect to be so ignorant, although he knew that there must be an inside story, but when it came to Cheng Jin's reputation, Mrs. Cheng was still very uncomfortable.
"This matter is very important, and I am afraid it will be inconvenient to say it in the flower hall." Wen Shao'an didn't seem to have seen Mrs. Cheng's ugly face, and said to himself, "Just say it here at Miss Cheng Liu, and ask Mrs. Cheng to step down, today's matter must not be spread." ”
Mrs. Cheng now looks at him very unpleasantly, "I heard that the Wen family is noble, and the rules are the strictest, don't you know what is the great defense of men and women?" Entering a woman's boudoir at night, is it a gentleman's doing? ”
"Why don't you go to my yard?" Cheng Jin suggested very sincerely.
Mrs. Cheng was angry with her, thinking that she was simply stupid to go back again, and Wen Shaoan also glanced at her deeply, with a full warning written in her eyes.
Cheng Jin was so unflattering that he touched his head with a dry smile, and silently stepped aside.
"Mrs. Cheng, I'm afraid that this matter can't be spread, and I'm afraid that there will be more people who will be alarmed when I go to the flower hall, whether it is good for the two girls or the Chengenhou Mansion, and it may even bring disaster to the mansion." Wen Shaoan arched his hand at her, looking very serious and solemn.
Mrs. Cheng's anger was bluffed away by his solemn attitude, she looked at him deeply, and let Mama Hu and the servants lead Cheng Yu into the house, "If you have anything to say, it's not good for you to enter the boudoir of the girl's house as a foreign man." ”
"Madame, remember when this tree was planted?" Wen Shaoan didn't dwell on it, and asked directly at the old locust tree that fell to the ground.
Mrs. Cheng was stunned for a moment, feeling that some memories seemed to be broken, and frowned, "I have always come to this courtyard rarely, but I don't remember." ”
"Madame, may wish to find someone to ask about the origin of this tree."
"No need to ask, this tree was planted on the second day of my aunt's burial." Cheng Yu got rid of the mothers-in-law who were taking care of him and ran out, "Auntie can ask whatever she wants, I know this matter best." ”
She turned her head to look at Cheng Jin, her eyes were complicated, "How it should be is what it is, I don't need you to take me out, and I won't accept your affection!" ”
Mrs. Cheng is a short-term protector, and when she heard her words, she felt uncomfortable, and her face was cold, "Since that's the case, Sister Yu will explain it clearly." ”
Cheng Yu had already broken the jar, but he didn't sell it, and sneered at the things that had happened in the past three years, which shocked Mrs. Cheng almost unsteadily.
"You, you're saying that this tree is used to support your aunt's corpse?" Mrs. Cheng didn't expect such a thing to happen under her nose at all, the branches of the teeth and claws in the night looked particularly eerie, especially knowing the purpose of this tree, she unconsciously reached out and pulled Cheng Jin closer, slightly blocking in front of her, as if she could protect her daughter in this way.
When Cheng Yu saw such a picture, she couldn't help but feel sad in her heart, if her aunt was still there, she would definitely take care of herself like this, but now her aunt has become a monster, and she is also disgusted by the world, what's the fun of such a day......
"The locust tree nourishes yin, and this is not an ordinary locust tree, it is a ghost tree spawned by Mama Qin with magic, it is the most yin and evil, if it is allowed to become the climate, don't say that it is the demon corpse is tricky, even this locust tree can also make trouble in the house." Wen Shaoan explained.
"This matter was also done by King Qi? The investigation that Master Wen said to Ah Jin is this matter? Although Mrs. Cheng was calm on her face, she had already set off a monstrous wave in her heart, they had lived in the capital for a long time, they were not involved in government affairs, and they had no grudges with King Qi, why did King Qi repeatedly put them to death?
"I don't think this matter was done by King Qi," looking at Mrs. Cheng's puzzled eyes, he continued to explain, "When I discussed the case with Miss Cheng Wu, she talked about the strangeness in the mansion and suspected that it was related to Nanban, so we just went to Miss Cheng's courtyard to investigate, but looking at this Mama Qin's methods, I am afraid that it is a monk who has fallen into the devil, not Nanban. ”
