Chapter 70: Bring in the coffin

After the Qiqiao Festival, followed by the July Half Ghost Festival, Xun Xuan ordered people to secretly make the spiritual position of his parents and elder brother, so he could only hide in the back room and worship quietly.

"Be careful, don't let anyone see it." Xun Xuan ordered Qu You to take out the brazier that burned paper money, and he carefully wiped the three tablets with a cloth.

"Miss, the tablet should not be placed in a conspicuous place, and the slave maid will put it in the cabinet for you." Chi Yin stepped forward and took down the three tablets that were placed on the table.

Xun Xuan exhaled softly, began to clean up the sacrifices placed on the table, and sighed: "It's my incompetence as a daughter, that I even have to secretly worship." ”

Qi Yin whispered comfort: "Miss, don't say that, your heart, Grandpa Guo and Duchess Quanxia will be pleased, the prince loves you when he is young, as long as he sees that Miss you are safe, he will also be happy for you." ”

A bitter smile flashed across Xun Xuan's face, turned around and lifted the bead curtain and walked out of the room, ready to go out to breathe.

Xun Xuan didn't go far out of the courtyard when she saw An Xinyue walking towards this side with a sad face.

"Big cousin? Where are you going? Xun Xuan stepped forward and greeted her.

When An Xinyue saw Xun Xuan, she couldn't help but smile on her face: "It's boring for me to stay alone in Fanglan Courtyard, so I want to come out and take a walk." ”

Xun Xuan's eyes moved: "The eldest cousin's face doesn't seem to be very good, is something wrong?" ”

As soon as An Xinyue heard Xun Xuan say this, the smile on her face gradually dissipated, and her sorrow immediately emerged: "You are in a remote place, I'm afraid you haven't heard of it yet, that Aunt Lan fell into the second uncle's dream last night, and the second uncle was scared all night, and now the whole person is in a trance." ”

Xun Xuan couldn't help sneering in her heart, the secret retribution came really quickly, although she understood what was going on in her heart, but on the surface, Xun Xuan still showed a scared look: "Big cousin, don't scare me, it's the half-ghost festival in July, the second uncle has such a dream, it can't be that Aunt Lan is coming to the door without a soul, right?" ”

"Who knows? Now the people in the house are already panicking, and my heart is also up and down, what do you say this Lan Gu was killed to do with us? Why did you get entangled in our family? An Anyue was so frightened that even her face turned pale.

Xun Xuan patted the back of An Xinyue's hand and comforted: "Anyway, we didn't do anything wrong, even if there is a soul, we can't find it." ”

An Xinyue was timid and couldn't stand the fright, so she insisted on pulling Xun Xuan to accompany her to all corners of the house to burn paper and worship the lonely souls and ghosts, and she felt a lot better.

I went around Anfu and finally arrived at the gate of Anfu.

As soon as the two of them walked to the door of Anfu, they saw a man outside the door dragging a board behind him, and a person was lying on the board.

Xun Xuan and An Xinyue stepped forward to take a closer look, only to find that it was Lan Gu's corpse lying on the board.

The temperature of the summer day was high, and the corpse had already begun to decompose after so many days, and a foul smell came, and An Xinyue couldn't help but vomit on the spot.

The man knelt at the door of Anfu and shouted: "My mother died unjustly, please give my mother justice!" ”

Xun Xuan's face sank, and she pulled An Anyue and hurriedly walked back, whoever fell on this kind of thing was unlucky.

Before the two of them walked out of the front yard, Ziyan hurriedly came over to pass the word.

"Two young ladies, Mrs. Liu heard that someone was coming from the front yard, she was busy taking care of the second master, and she couldn't leave for a while, so she asked the two young ladies to help entertain her!" Ziyan said.

"What? Let the two of us go? That Lan Gu's body was lying there so straight, what can the two of us do? As soon as An Xinyue thought of the rotten breath, she couldn't help but want to vomit.

"Aunt Lan is an errand boy in Liu's courtyard, Mrs. Liu doesn't care, but she lets us take care of it, what's the reason?" Xun Xuan looked at Ziyan with a sneer and asked.

Ziyan's face changed when she heard this, and she said in a trembling voice: "The slave maid is just a person who is responsible for passing the word, and please don't embarrass the slave maid." ”

"Embarrassed? You maid has sharp teeth and sharp mouth, your master has hurt us like this, we just complained twice, do you feel wronged? An Anyue scolded dissatisfiedly.

Ziyan pursed her mouth, and never paid attention to Anxinyue, the weak and bullying eldest lady: "It's useless for the eldest lady to complain to the slave maid, after all, the slave maid is just an errand by Mrs. Liu's side." If you really don't want to, you can go and tell Mrs. Liu. ”

"You ......" An Xinyue was choked by the purple smoke, but she didn't expect that a mere maid could be so sneering at her master.

"Dogs fighting people!" Xun Xuan looked at Ziyan coldly, and spit out a few words indifferently.

Ziyan was stunned for a moment, she didn't dare to speak when she was scolded, she dared to contradict An Xinyue, that was because An Xinyue was weak and could be bullied, but Xun Zhi was not easy to bully, she had seen the power of this Miss Biao.

Ziyan didn't dare to reply, and the tears in her angry eyes flooded out one by one.

"Hold back the tears, I don't know what I thought I had done to you! But a slave and maid, dare to argue with the master, this is the eldest lady is kind-hearted, if it were me, you would not be able to stay in Anfu today. ”

Xun Xuan squinted her eyes, and the purple smoke she said word by word was ashamed, and she no longer had the arrogance of Fang Cai.

Xun Xuan stepped forward slowly, her cold fingers gently slid over Ziyan's smooth cheeks, making Ziyan tremble with fright.

"Warn you, I'll be a man with my tail between my legs in the future!" Xun Xuan said.

"Yes, slave remember!" Ziyan hurriedly responded.

"Kneel here for an hour and then go back!" Xun Xuan commanded coldly.

"Slaves obey!" Ziyan obediently kowtowed.

After Xun Xuan finished speaking, she turned around and went back to the courtyard, called Qi Yin and Qu You, and went towards the gate of Anfu.

"Cousin, Aunt Lan's matter is such an evil sect, do we really want to take care of it?" An Xinyue followed Xun Xuan back to the gate of Anfu.

At this moment, there were already a lot of people gathered in front of the gate of Anfu, looking at the excitement, the son of Lan Gu knelt beside Lan Gu's body, looking very miserable.

"This matter is strange inside and out, last night the second uncle just because of Aunt Lan's serious illness, today his son appeared in front of our Anfu with Aunt Lan's corpse on his back, don't you think it's strange, eldest cousin?"

Xun Xuan analyzed calmly, she vaguely felt ...... This rumor of a haunted ghost is just an illusion, all of this is more like someone did it on purpose, the other party is obviously coming for Anfu, and it is even possible to know the inside story of Lan Gu's death, who will this person be?

Xun Xuan exhaled lightly, and couldn't think about it so much for the time being, so she could only bite the bullet.

"Butler, disperse the unrelated people, and distribute some silver to each person, which is regarded as hush money, so that they keep their mouths shut!" Xun Xuan gave an order, and then walked towards the door.

The son of that Lan Gu was five big and three thick, and I heard that he was a farmer on the outskirts of the city, and his name was Da Niu.

Da Niu saw a pair of luxurious and delicate embroidered shoes appear beside him, looked up along the skirt, and saw a girl with a cold and bright face, looking at him seriously.

"Your mother has died, why don't you let her be laid to rest?" Xun Xuan asked in a kind tone.

Da Niu had tears in his eyes, and he looked very sad: "It's not that I don't want her to be buried in the ground, it's that my mother cheated on her corpse last night, and even the grave was picked up." When I went there this morning, I saw my mother's body exposed. ”

When An Xinyue heard this, her whole face turned pale, her hands trembled and patted Xun Xuan, and whispered in her ear: "How could it be so coincidental, the second uncle was ...... last night"

Xun Xuan's face sank, and she asked Xiang Da Niu slowly: "Who asked you to drag the body to the gate of Anfu?" ”

Da Niu wiped away a handful of tears and said, "This morning, a master passed by my mother's grave and instructed me to do this. ”

Expert? Xun Xuan squinted her eyes and was silent for a long time, then turned around and instructed the housekeeper: "Go and help Lan Gu buy a good coffin, find some people to overtake Lan Gu, and let her be buried as soon as possible!" ”

"Yes, the minion will go." The housekeeper answered, and then recruited a few servants from Anfu and carried Lan Gu's body away.

Xun Xuan turned around, but saw that Da Niu was still kneeling in place motionless, so she couldn't help but ask, "You still don't leave?" ”

Da Niu: "My mother's death is unknown, and she was on an errand in your Anfu before she died, but now that she is dead, she doesn't even have an explanation, and I ask Master Anfu to come forward to find out the real murderer who killed her for my mother!" ”

Xun Xuan sneered: "If Master An is willing to take care of it, there is no need to send us unfavored young ladies to come forward." ”

"Mother has been working as a cow and a horse by Mrs. Liu's side for so many years, how can Anfu say that she doesn't care about it?" The bull said angrily.

Xun Xuan smiled coldly, and said unabashedly: "Lan Gu has done all the bad things for the Liu family over the years, and it is not strange that she ended up like this after her death, this is called retribution!" ”

"You...... My mother is gone, how can you say that? The big bull roared and rushed up, but was kicked to the ground by Chi Yin.

Seeing that the situation was wrong, An Xinyue hurriedly whispered: "Cousin, just send him away with some silver, what are you doing with him?" ”

"This Lan Gu has the secret of the Liu family, if you don't ask it now, you won't be able to ask it in the future." Xun Xuan replied softly.

"I said, your mother did all the bad things in her life, and she was dug up by someone, and you can only blame the Liu family, who let your mother follow a vicious master." Xun Xuan hooked her lips, slowly squatted down, stared at Da Niu coldly with her eyes, and said, "Look at the Liu family, your mother has done so much for her before and after the saddle, and in the end she ended up with a bad death, but she ignored it." ”

Da Niu had tears in his eyes, and he felt that it was not worth it for Lan Gu in his heart.

"Most of the things that Lan Gu has done for the Liu family over the years are to be brought into the coffin, but there are always some things that can't be hidden, I think...... You should know a thing or two about what you did to your mother! Xun Xuan looked at the big cow with a smile, her eyes were like eagles, staring at the big cow, and the other party was uncomfortable.

"I ...... I don't know, I don't know anything......" Da Niu tilted his head and said in a panic.

Xun Xuan sneered, and followed the temptation: "This is a good deed to alleviate your mother's sins, if you don't say it, your mother will be afraid that it will be difficult to be safe underground." ”
