Cao Yuyan's delicate willow eyebrows furrowed together.

Because she felt from this girl's tone that what she had just said was not appropriate.

But she couldn't understand why?

Isn't it the most basic thing for cultivators to subdue demons and eliminate demons?

Since there are ghosts, then except for it, it is not the most common thing for them, why is this girl in such a tone?

It's like sarcasm!

"It's not easy for any living being to live."

Chu Xiaoran looked at Mrs. Zeng and said: "Although she is a ghost, she is a clean ghost, she has no killing in her hands, and she still has a chance here, I don't ask you to agree with my approach, but since Zeng asked me to deal with this matter, then I hope that it will be done according to my principles and methods." ”

Zeng Yuanwai finally stopped grabbing his hair, stood up and said, "Zeng listens to the girl for everything, but I really don't remember when I offended the female ghost." ”

"Since you can't remember, I'll ask the ghost directly."

Mrs. Zeng took two steps back without a trace, and Chu Xiaoran didn't care, thinking that she was talking about female ghosts, and she was afraid.

In the second half of the night, the female ghost didn't come to disturb, and it was rare for the people in the Zeng Mansion to sleep peacefully.

The next day, Chu Xiaoran finished breakfast and said to Mrs. Zeng: "Mrs. Zeng, please give me the key to the abandoned yard, and I'll go in and see if I can find any clues." ”

"Miss Xiao Ran is suspicious, this female ghost died in that yard before?"

"Yes or no, you won't know until you go in and see it."

"That yard has been abandoned for four or five years, overgrown with weeds, even if it dies in the yard, the clues are estimated to be long gone."

"Just because others can't see the clues doesn't mean I can't see them."

After thinking about it, he added: "If there is nothing big about Zeng Yuan, you will still come with me to see it later." ”

What could be more important than the safety of a family?

Zeng Yuanwai didn't think about it, and nodded in agreement.

Cao Yuyan took out the key from her waist and put it on the table, watched Chu Xiaoran pick up the key, took the two subordinates she brought, and signaled with one look, letting Nianshuang follow behind.

The deserted courtyard is in the westernmost part of the backyard of the Zeng Mansion, the courtyard is not large, but the courtyard wall is the highest in the entire Zeng Mansion.

It can be seen that there are traces of later heightening.

Chu Xiaoran turned his head and asked Zeng Yuanwai: "Why should this courtyard wall be heightened?" ”

Zeng Yuanwai nodded blankly and asked the housekeeper who followed him: "When did the wall of this courtyard be raised, do you know?" ”

The housekeeper thought for a moment and said, "Hui Langjun, it was four years ago, when you were still talking about business in Kaifeng Mansion, so naturally you didn't have any impression." ”

Wu Dalang took the key given to him by Chu Xiaoran to open the lock, and tried several times before opening the rusty lock.

The door squeaked open.

These two doors have been exposed to the wind and sun for four or five years, and the two thin plates are about to "end their lives".

Before they could walk in, they were blocked by the weeds that grew taller than people.

"There are so many weeds, how can you find them, old Zhangtou, go and call some people to clean up the grass in the yard."

Steward Zhang came back quickly, but he was the only one.

"Lang Jun, just now the eldest lady said that the people in the house have been sent to do work, and there is no manpower."

"This ......"

Zeng Yuanwai's face showed embarrassment.

Chu Xiaoran sneered twice, didn't say anything, and stood there without moving, she wanted to see how Zeng Yuanwai handled this matter.

"Miss Xiaoran, let you smile, otherwise you go back to the yard to rest first, and I'll go talk to Madame."

"I don't have anything here, it's just that Zeng might as well think about whether there is anything abnormal in your wife's behavior from yesterday to today."

Zeng Yuanwai nodded with an ugly face, and left with Steward Zhang first.

"You all stand down, my wife and I have important matters to discuss."

Zeng was sent out and retired, his eyes were fixed on Cao, he didn't want to doubt Cao, but since yesterday, she had many abnormalities, so he couldn't help but doubt.

"Yulang's eyes, do you suspect that I have something to do with this matter?"

Zeng Yuanwai was a little calmer when he was called by this Yulang, he looked at Cao Yuyan's eyes, and finally asked, "That female ghost, do you know each other?" ”

Cao Yuyan pursed her lips tightly, looking pained.

"Did you kill her?"

As soon as Zeng Yuanwai asked, Cao Yuyan suddenly stood up and looked at Zeng Yuanwai with disappointed eyes: "You and I have been married for twenty-three years, you don't believe in your own lady, but believe in an outsider." What the hell did that little girl say in front of you that made you doubt me so much? ”

"She didn't say anything."

"You didn't say anything, and you doubted me?"

"Yuyan, you never said mean things before, but yesterday, as soon as you saw Miss Xiaoran, you were very abnormal. This is especially true today, how can you make me not doubt? ”

Cao Yuyan's chest rose and fell angrily: "Okay, since Yulang thinks that I killed the person, then let the female ghost come to me directly to ask for his life." ”

"You don't have to be angry, I only said that you hid this matter from me, and didn't say that the female ghost was harmed by you, what problems can we discuss and solve together, after all, we are husband and wife, don't husbands and wives just want to be in the same boat and support each other?"

"Yulang, don't force me."

Cao Yuyan's eyes were red, but her eyes were firm, and she had made up her mind not to say anything.

"Yuyan, what difficulties do you have, say it and we can solve it together."

Cao Yuyan shook her head: "This matter, you can't solve it, Yulang, if you really love me, don't ask again, okay, just as if this incident hasn't happened, let's change places, why don't we move to Kaifeng, isn't Jiamo in Kaifeng, let's go to Kaifeng, okay?" ”

Cao Yuyan's words were fast and urgent, in stark contrast to her usual steady and dignified.

At this moment, Zeng Yuan didn't need to ask carefully, and he also understood in his heart that the haunting in Zeng's mansion was inseparable from his wife.

But when he said it, she still didn't want to speak, and Zeng didn't want to force her.

Chu Xiaoran came to the courtyard and sat on the swing under the grapevines in the courtyard.

It's the height of summer, the vines are blooming, the sun is shining, there are patches of grape leaves, and the south wind is blowing, but it is not so hot.

Of course, this has to do with the fact that it is not yet noon and the sun is not at its strongest.

Chu Xiaoran shook twice, and Nianshuang came over and told her that the three girls in the house asked to see her.

"Three girls?"

"She was born to Aunt Liu, and she is the third oldest among girls."

From yesterday to today, she has not seen the aunt and concubine in the Zeng Mansion, and Chu Xiaoran thought that she would not meet in the past few days in the Zeng Mansion.

Unexpectedly, this third girl took the initiative to come to her.

"Please let her in."

Chu Xiaoran's intuition was that these three girls came to her, they must not be simply curious about her.
