Grandpa Gong was very old, and he was seriously ill, and then experienced the pain of losing his son, and his health was not as good as before, so Grandpa Gong slept very early, around eight o'clock, the family was still noisy, and he fell asleep peacefully in the company of Shu Yun early.

When Ji Younai and Gong Siyu quietly found Shu Yun, Shu Yun, who was attached to the puppet's body, was sitting on a rocking chair, knitting sweaters and hats for Ah Gu, who had been living in the basement recently and was not allowed to appear by Ji Younai.

I heard that Ji Yunai and they were looking for her.

Shu Yun hurriedly put down the needlework in his hand, straightened out the hem of the cheongsam, and followed Ji Younai to the dome glass round hall on the second floor.

In the rotunda, the fireplace burns coals, the projection television plays horror movies, and the lights are dim.

Liuyun reclined in Bai Feiran's arms, ink black and ink white curled up in the corner...... Everyone was doing their own thing, and the atmosphere was quite eerie and harmonious.

"What kind of horror movie to watch at Christmas, I'm sick! It's not Halloween again! ”

Grandma Shuyun is timid and afraid of Sadako in horror movies.

Ji Younai hurriedly turned off the TV, picked up Xiao Xiao, who was sitting on the single sofa and was eating his fingers, dusted off the sofa, and then smiled softly, looking at Shu Yun, "Grandma sit!" We just wanted to ask you something, don't be nervous. ”

Because it is attached to the body of the puppet.

So Grandma Shuyun's skin is bloodless and very pale.

But she combed her hair in a very beautiful bun, inserted the jade hairpin given by Grandpa Gong, slim and beautiful like a peony, and her outstanding classical temperament is indescribably beautiful, but she is a little restrained.

Xiao Qian was thrown on the carpet, grinning with a sore buttocks, and he didn't dare to complain, so he could only squat in the corner, facing the wall, and shut himself.

Liuyun and Bai Feiran were clubbing on the side, and they didn't say a word, they were all transparent people.

Ji Ruchen and Angelica were looking through the antique manual, and they seemed to have taken a fancy to the treasures at an auction and wanted to grab them.

Shu Yun sat down stiffly, at a loss, seeing Ji Younai, Gong Siyu, and Gong Youen sitting beside her, all staring at her closely, she swallowed her saliva, and asked softly, "What's the matter?" Ask, your grandfather is not well, he has a low-grade fever, and I have to go back to the room to guard him in a while. ”

"Okay, then...... Grandma Shuyun, let's not go around the bend and get straight to the point. ”

Ji Younai sat on the side of the sofa, his little hands were held in the palm of Gong Siyu's palm, and then he continued.

"How much do you know about the sealed female monster in the Gong family's ancestral mansion? What is it? Origin? Why did it become like that? How did it form a deep hatred with the Gong family? Why kill the first wife of every Gong man? Did you know? ”

When Shu Yun heard this, she was stunned, first frowned, and then lowered her eyes and was silent for a long time, as if reminiscing, after a while, she raised her eyes and looked at Ji Younai, and then said quietly: "I...... I don't know much about her, but I know her name, and she told me that her name is Qingdai, and I don't know why she is like that...... will kill so many people, and what kind of deep hatred does she have with the Gong family, but I think she is not as heinous as you think, otherwise back then, when I was assassinated by the Shen family, she wouldn't have had to save me several times...... She's not as bad as you think, she might ...... Do you have a hard time? ”

"The seal was broken, she came out, and she started killing again, Eun's mother, she was murdered today."

"Huh? That...... I'm sorry, maybe I made a mistake, don't mind, I didn't speak for her, it's just that she saved me, and I'm just grateful. ”

Shu Yun said apologetically.

Shu Yun didn't know the origin of the woman, let alone what grievances she had with the Gong family.

However, Shu Yun still provided Ji Yunai with an extremely important message.

That female demon is called Qing Dai.

And the name Qing Dai.

Ji Yunai, who has never forgotten it, is extremely familiar.

Almost instantly, she remembered the portrait painting she had seen in the center of the Yun Pavilion hall where she lived in the ancestral mansion of the Gong family.

"Qing Dai, Gong Siyu! Do you remember? The portrait painting of the ancestral mansion Cloud Pavilion reads, in the early spring of the forty-eighth year of Qianlong, Mrs. Qing Dai! ”

Ji Younai remembers very well that the woman in the portrait of the Qing Dynasty is extremely beautiful and enchanting, not to mention the sinking fish and geese, it is definitely a rare stunner of that era.

I never thought that this monster who is not a ghost or a ghost will be the woman in the portrait!

"By the way, if you want to find clues about Qing Dai's past, perhaps, you can go back to the ancestral house of the Gong family and go to the courtyard where she lived when she was alive...... When I was alive in the past, I heard the old grandmother of the palace family talk about the dozens of courtyards of the palace family's ancestral house, all of which have lived in different eras of aunts and wives, and the hostess of each courtyard has the habit of writing small notes, because in the past, most of the women in the feudal society were polygamous, they were very lonely, and they would record the past with a pen, or what they thought in their hearts, if they could find the pen of this small note, maybe, they could know the clues you wanted to know, and maybe they would ......"

Listen to what Shu Yun said.

Ji Youno and Gong Siyu glanced at each other.

Suddenly understood in their hearts, I am afraid that they really have to go to the ancestral house of the Gong family again.

Without further ado, Ji Younai decided to use the Immortal Bead to open the teleportation channel and go tonight.

After sending Shu Yun back to the room, Ji Younai returned to the round hall, stood on the coffee table, and shouted-

"Come on, come on, go to the ancestral house of the Gong family tonight, and explore on Christmas Eve! Application! Who goes! There are only 2 places for 2 people! Outdated does not wait! ”

"Don't go, sleepy." Liuyunwo Bai Feiran was in his arms, turned over, and continued to play the game.

"Bored, not interested." Ji Ruchen crossed Erlang's legs, obsessed with the antique auction.

……

As a result, I asked around, but no one went.

However, just as Ji Younai, Gong Siyu, and Gong Youen were about to leave, Bai Wuwu appeared.

"Young Master, where are you going?"

"Go back to the ancestral house, check that monster, have some clues, and plan to try your luck." Gong Siyu's phoenix eyes condensed, faint and unwarm.

"What clues?"

"That monster used to be a marriage woman in the Qianlong period of the palace family, named Qingdai."

"I see, that's not as good as ...... I'll go with you, and as you know, I'm good at archaeology and history, and I might be able to help you. ”

“……”

So, Bai Wuwu threw Xiao Nianqing, who was temporarily staying in their house, in the room, accompanied Gong Siyu and them, and immediately passed through the teleportation channel opened by the Immortal Bead and returned to the ancestral house of the Gong family in Hualong Village, Jinling City.

Christmas Eve, freezing cold.

The ancestral house of the Gong family is located in the deep mountains and old forests, and there are no people, like a haunted house.

The New Year is approaching, so the descendants who stayed in the ancestral house have all returned to their hometowns, and there is no one in the house at present.

Over the wall, pick the lock, and move neatly.

Passing through the snow-capped winding corridors and the rockery in the courtyard, they soon returned to the cloud pavilion where they had lived, and after holding the lamp, they saw the yellowed portrait hanging in the center of the hall in the dimly lit hall.

It's just that in the faint flickering lights, the woman in the portrait seems to have a strange smile.
