Chapter 3: The Sorrowful Concubine of Cui Mansion (1)

When her gaze returned, Meng Hui found herself standing in an antique boudoir, wearing a light blue and white skirt, with a pair of half-worn embroidered shoes on her feet, and there was obviously another soul in her body, which she guessed should be the real owner of the body.

Meng Hui knew that this must be the "soul piercing" temporarily arranged by the king of Hades in order to let her complete the task.

There is not much information on the wooden sign, she only knows that she wants to help the deceased find out the murderer, but she wishes, and it is not clear what to do.

"Hades has this ability, why don't you figure out the murderer and throw the task to me again?" She couldn't figure it out, rubbed her drowsy head, shook off her doubts and curiosity, walked to the blurry makeup bronze mirror and took a picture.

With long eyebrows, apricot eyes and melon seed face, she looks very good, but she is skinny, as if she has never eaten enough, and she looks worse than her orphan.

A wave of memories flooded back, and Meng Hui learned that the original owner was a fourteen-year-old girl named Cui Yuzhen.

Cui Yuying, the female ghost who saluted Meng Hui in the Hades Palace, is the eldest daughter of Cui's Mansion and the eldest sister of the original owner Cui Yuzhen. In addition to these two girls, Cui Mansion also has a second girl, Cui Yuwei.

The deceased's mother is the original partner of the master of Cui Mansion, and the relationship between the husband and wife is extremely poor, so Cui Yuying, as the eldest daughter, is not valued by her father at all. When she was four years old, Mrs. Cui died of illness, and Master Cui married the new Mrs. Wang, and Cui Yuying was not as good as day by day.

In general, the deceased Cui Yuying is a little bitter gourd, which is bitter from the skin to the core.

"I don't have my own mother, and my stepmother is not a good stubble, and she was killed at the same age!" Meng Hui sighed. In the Hades Palace, Cui Yuying was extremely cautious, with low eyebrows, for fear of provoking anyone's eyes.

Meng Hui understands very well that it is normal for him to have such an inferiority complex when he has lived in the shadow of rejection since he was a child.

The Wang family has a son under his knees, but has no daughter, in order to respond to the late original partner and Cui Yuying, Cui Yuwei and Cui Yuzhen are recorded in their names together, so now Cui Mansion is a girl.

Compared with the timid and cowardly original owner Cui Yuzhen, the Wang family prefers the sweet and clever Cui Yuwei. As soon as he thought of this second sister, Meng Hui felt that the ontological soul instinctively felt frightened.

Meng Hui suppressed his fear, and planned to find the picture of the three sisters getting along in his memory, but just after taking a look, he heard a sharp female voice outside.

"Cui Yuzhen, you are such a big dog! Mother asked you to go to the ancestral grave to burn after copying the scriptures, and you actually instructed the maid to do it! There was ruthlessness in her voice, and Meng Hui immediately reacted, this is Cui Yuwei here.

Cui Yuwei is favored by the Wang family, and usually bullies Cui Yuzhen, and she does not respect her eldest sister Cui Yuying. But after Cui Yuying's death, she closed her door very abnormally for a period of time, and did not return to her arrogance until a few days ago.

Meng Hui heard her footsteps approaching, and walked to the door with his hands lowered and his head down, making a look of low eyebrows and pleasing eyes.

The status of women in this dynasty is not low, and unmarried women can enter the ancestral grave after death, but the ancestral tomb of the Cui family is not close to Kyoto, and the carriage will not arrive until the next day when it is not dawn, and it will be midnight when the scriptures are burned and then returned.

The Wang family did ask Cui Yuzhen to copy the scriptures, but they didn't specify that they wanted her to go in person, and Cui Yuwei obviously wanted to find a reason to bully the original owner.

Cui Yuzhen was weak, and a few days ago she had a high fever and went to half her life, and she couldn't go out after barely copying the scriptures. Last night, she knelt outside the house with her sick body, begging for forgiveness from the dead Cui Yuying, and kneeling until her knees were bruised before she ordered her personal maid to go out on her behalf.

"Come with me to the main courtyard, and see that your mother will not punish you for kneeling in the Buddha hall for a few days!"

Cui Yuwei's originally bright face was a little distorted because of her coquettishness, and seeing that there was no one else in the room, she leaned into Meng Hui's ear and lowered her voice: "Do you still want to go to the Wenfu Flower Club?" Can Mr. Wen take a fancy to you? Don't be whimsical, just wait at home to marry an old widower! ”

Meng Hui was pulled out by her wrist, almost falling and eating, and the memories that had just come to her were a mess again.

The only little maid who was guarding outside was only eleven or twelve years old, and when she came up to help, she was kicked away by Cui Yuwei and fell so hard that she didn't dare to step forward again. Meng Hui's wrist hurt, his head was buzzing, and he couldn't get angry.

She really wanted to press the noisy and annoying Cui Yuwei to the ground and beat her, but in order not to show her flaws, she could only grit her teeth and continue to be dragged away.

On the way, Meng recalled what Cui Yuwei said about Mrs. Wen. She once had a verbal agreement with the late Mrs. Cui, saying that it would be good for the two families to marry when they grew up.

Wenfu and Cui's house are on the right side, Mrs. Wen and the late Mrs. Cui are handkerchiefs, and they were sincere when they made an agreement. It's just that later, Cui Yuying became the eldest daughter of the bereaved mother, and she gave people a feeling that she couldn't be on the stage, and the Wenfu, which was gaining momentum, no longer mentioned the matter.

Mrs. Wen has a friendship with the dead Mrs. Cui, and often asks Cui Mengying to be a guest, which is originally a good intention, but it makes Master Cui, who wants to borrow his daughter to climb the Wen family, think that there is still hope for marriage.

It wasn't until Cui Yuying was smashed from behind and drowned alive in the fish pond that Master Cui gave up on this "oral marriage contract".

Master Cui had no intention of finding out the truth, Cui Yuying didn't invite him to see him, and he didn't say anything about his bad luck at home, and it was easy to affect his reputation if it was spread out. He hastily collected the body and buried it in the ancestral grave, claiming that he had died of a sudden illness.

Five days ago, Mrs. Wen sent a post to Cui's house, inviting the two girls to go to Wen's mansion to participate in the flower party to relax.

Not only him, but Cui Yuwei, who had long been jealous of Cui Yuying's "marriage contract", was also moved. Recently, looking at the white-skinned, delicate, delicate and pitiful third sister, the hostility is more than twice as great as usual.

The sensitive-minded Meng Hui knew with a thought on his toes that the reason why Mrs. Wen would invite the Cui family girl was just because of face, and she would not really consider Cui Yuwei and Cui Yuzhen as daughters-in-law at all.

Wen Gongzi looks like a human, has a nose and eyes, and is a popular son-in-law candidate in the range of a fifth-rate family in Kyoto. Mrs. Wen grabbed a handful of them, and she was able to pick up several ladies who wanted to marry her son, and she looked down on Cui Fu who was going downhill at all.

Cui Yuwei pulled her to complain, and staying in the house on the grounds of punishment could also clarify the situation and find out the real culprit as soon as possible.

Meng Hui pondered, although Master Cui hated Cui Yuying, he should be eager to use her to kiss, as if it could not be a murderer; The Wang family dislikes Cui Yuying, but the two have no entanglement of interests, and she has to have killing intent, Cui Yuying will not live to be seventeen years old at all, so Wang's suspicion is not great.

In addition to the two family members, there are only two aunts in Cui's house, a bunch of maids, and the original owner and the slightly suspicious Cui Yuwei.

Meng Hui analyzed all the way to the corridor of the main courtyard, and the moment he stepped into the main house, he suddenly remembered what Cui Yuwei had just said.

Waiting to marry an old widower? What does this mean?
