My cousin's withered and wrinkled skin was piled up on top of each other, his face was gray and yellow, his hair was thin, and his whole person looked very shriveled.

He couldn't speak, he could only stare at his big round eyes, and the whole eyeball was about to jump out, which was a little scary.

His eyes rolled, he glanced at Jiang Cong, and then at Lin Yanxi, and he shook his head stiffly.

The people at the table were silent, only Shen Yu took a sip of wine disapprerovingly and said, "Isn't it just a subordinate, he must have seen the death of his master and ran away." It's not that it's not in the palace, if any palace maid dares to run away without permission, it's a capital offense."

Lin Yanxi suddenly said with some excitement: "This is impossible, Aunt Yu has been by her mother's side for many years, and her mother entrusted me and Ruoyan to take care of her before she died, she will not run away."

I'm afraid that Yugu has already encountered an accident.

Shen Muzhou, who had never spoken, asked in a deep voice, "The Jiang family can have people who buy and sell or do things in the mansion to be entered into the roster."

Jiang Cong thought for a while, shook his head sadly and said, "After the separation, most of the subordinates were also separated, and there were only a few people left around me, and the roster had long been lost in the old mansion, and there was nowhere to find it."

"However, before the separation, I need to reassign my subordinates according to the roster, and I also deliberately looked at how many maids my aunt took away, so I can guarantee that when my aunt got married, she didn't bring any maids with her to marry."

Lin Yanxi thought about it carefully, and when she asked Chestnut to find Yugu, Chestnut's surprised expression seemed as if she had never recognized Yugu.

Shen Muzhou didn't continue to speak, but his eyes always fell on Jiang Cong's body, but his eyes were admittedly honest and kind, so people really couldn't find faults.

Jiang Cong got up and added some more wine to a few people and said, "Sister, don't think about it, it's just a subordinate, drink some more wine, and have a good rest for a while."

Shen Yu pursed his lips and said, "It's a pity to have this good wine but not to be accompanied by a beautiful woman."

Lin Yanxi didn't speak again, trying to figure out what was going on.

After three rounds of drinking, Jiang Cong said, "It's getting late, I'll entertain all the nobles to stay in the mansion first."

"Come, please come with me."

As he spoke, he got up and led them out of the lobby and into the back house.

Shen Yu drank a little too much, he grabbed Jiang Cong's shoulder and said, "Alas, Brother Jiang, your mansion is too big and too deserted, is there a beautiful woman who knows the rhythm of music and rhythm, can you learn a thing or two?"

Jiang Cong was hugged by him and walked out, and said in embarrassment: "The fifth prince said that he laughed, although the Jiang family has declined, the family style is still there, and he doesn't dare to ......."

Seeing that the two of them had walked out of the lobby, Lin Yanxi and Shen Muzhou also got up and walked out.

When Lin Yanxi passed by his cousin, his dry and rough hands grabbed Lin Yanxi's sleeve and tried his best to grind a word out of his teeth.

"Run!"

Lin Yanxi's body stiffened in place, and his cousin's face was like ashes, and his shriveled body had a smell of decay and mold.

He grabbed the arm of her sleeve, and his wrist was covered in burn scars.

"Cousin."

Jiang Cong's voice sounded coldly, and he stood at the entrance of the lobby and the whole person was hidden in the dark shadows, leaving only a pair of eyes staring at them gloomily.

The next moment he regained his usual peaceful smile, and walked into the lobby through the shadows, where he walked over to his cousin and carefully straightened his clothes.

"Dad, you wait here for a while, and I'll take care of you back to your room later."

He looked at everyone with some embarrassment, "Since my father was sick, he has always had some hallucinations and is in a crazy state, so he didn't scare you, right?"

Lin Yanxi lowered his eyes and looked at his cousin again, he leaned on the wheelchair as if he had no bones, one hand curled up together and trembling slightly, his eyes glazed.

Was that scene her delusion?

She subconsciously exchanged glances with Shen Muzhou, and then shook her head.

Jiang Cong took them to a courtyard, where a thin red rope was hanging on the beams, and the red rope was wearing a bell, and when the wind blew, it made an abrupt and ethereal "bell" sound.

There are two yellow talismans on each door.

Jiang Cong saw that they all looked at the yellow runes and the beams of the house, and explained: "Don't be afraid, this is located in the middle of nowhere, and there is a ghost town in front of it, there are always some strange forces and confusions, so I drew a few yellow talismans according to the method left by my ancestors, and the bells hanging on the beams of this house are called wind chimes, and the ghosts that are different from ordinary people will ring the bell when they approach."

"I don't know how to use talismans, and this yellow talisman is also based on the gourd, I don't know if it works."

Lin Yanxi looked at the yellow talisman on the door, it was indeed only a form without a spell, and it was estimated that it could only scare laymen.

"Cousin, there are many treacherous things in this world, and it's good to pay more attention, but those ghostly sayings have never been true."

Jiang Cong scratched his head and smiled self-deprecatingly, looking honest and credible.

"Okay, then I won't bother you, rest early." He turned around and took two steps and paused and said, "By the way, the wind is cold at night and there are often small beasts traveling, you close the doors and windows, and it doesn't matter if you hear any occasional movement at night."

When he said this, he didn't turn to face them, but looked back slightly, only revealing half of his face, but he could still see his grinning lips upturned, from Lin Yanxi's point of view, it was a very exaggerated angle, as if the corners of his lips had been torn behind his ears.

After he left, several people gathered together.

Shen Yu was drunk and leaned against the door frame and muttered, "Xin'er, my heart, Jing Xin......

After Lin Yanxi heard the name in his mouth, a trace of surprise set off in his eyes, it turned out that the person Shen Yu liked was Luo Jingxin.

Shen Muzhou stood upright, his body was a dark color that had not changed for thousands of years, and he analyzed in a deep voice behind the back of one hand: "According to Jiang Cong, Aunt Yu is not a subordinate in the mansion at all, is it possible that Aunt Yu followed Mrs. Jiang after she got married, and for some reason she said that she was born as a slave, maybe you can ask other old people in Taifu's mansion."

"And this house is by no means as simple as Jiang Cong said, Xiaoliu, you and Shen Yu have a room to rest at night, and you can take care of each other."

When listening to him, Lin Yanxi's little head nodded from time to time, but he had already made up an emotional drama in his heart that two brothers liked a woman at the same time.

No wonder this Shen Muzhou always rejects Luo Jingxin and seems to have an inextricable relationship with her, presumably because of Shen Yu.

Although he didn't say it, she could see that his relationship with Shen Yu was closer than everyone else, and Shen Yu was not afraid of his cold face at all.

Shen Yu muttered again in the back, "Xin'er."

Shen Muzhou's words paused, glanced at Shen Yu, then shook his head and continued, "Early tomorrow morning, we will leave here and go to the ghost town......

Lin Yanxi's eyes always pretended to fall on him inadvertently, peeking at the expression on his face, especially when she caught Shen Muzhou stopping just now, there was a hint of helplessness in her eyes.

Helpless......

So Shen Muzhou and Shen Yu like Luo Jingxin at the same time, but because he doesn't want to hurt the brotherhood, he has been rejecting her, and he is cold to her on the surface, but in fact, he can't love her in his heart, so he can only watch the woman he loves the most go away step by step.

Of course, Shen Muzhou felt that her gaze always fell on him, could it be that he was particularly eye-catching tonight?

Also, this dark-colored big is a new style in the palace, which is very flattering to him.

There was a hint of satisfaction in his eyes, and he carefully hid his feelings.

"Alas!"

After thinking about the relationship, she couldn't help but sigh heavily, wanting to sigh that fate made people.

She looked at Shen Muzhou with a very strange look, and she laboriously raised her hand and patted him on the shoulder to express sympathy.

Shen Muzhou's words stopped, and he looked at her with some doubts, not understanding what she meant.

Feeling the eyes of several people focusing on her at the same time, Lin Yanxi realized that her behavior was strange, she quickly smiled and rolled her eyes and said, "Alas, this ghost town doesn't know if it can successfully find the whereabouts of Zhenshan Dao."

The smile on the corner of Shen Muzhou's mouth became a little more obvious, it turned out that she was worried that he would not find Zhen

Mountain knife will also go to jail.

After assigning the task, Shen Muzhou ignored Lin Yanxi's objection and directly dragged her back to the guest room.

She stood on the bed a little unconvinced and muttered, "I can live in a room by myself, I can use spells, and I can protect myself."

Shen Muzhou was already lying on the bed, he closed his eyes, and with a slight tug of his hand, he pulled Lin Yanxi to the bed.

"Master Fu, I'm weak and difficult to take care of myself, you protect me."

His voice is low, magnetic, and a little lazy, and it sounds beautiful when it falls into his ears.

She snorted softly and said, "Well, the role of a talisman master is to protect all beings."

After they fell asleep, Lin Yanxi seemed to hear many people whispering in his ears in a daze.

"This is the Talisman?"

"She doesn't have the aura of a talisman."

"Hahaha, she said she was looking for Aunt Yu."

"Yugu died more than ten years ago, she can't find it, hahaha."

The woman's screaming voice became more and more terrifying, and she wanted to open her eyes to see, but her body seemed to be uncontrollable, unable to move, unable to speak, and her eyelids were so heavy that she couldn't lift them at all.

She let out a struggling "whining" sound, as if she had been pressed against the bed, unable to move.

"Yan Xi, Yan Xi!" Shen Muzhou shook her gently.

Her eyelids were thinly covered, and she could see the rolling of her eyeballs and a layer of cold sweat oozing from her forehead.

"Jade Aunt."

Lin Yanxi broke free from that shackle, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Shen Muzhou's cold eyebrows, perfect enough to make all women in the world fall for him, he looked at him with concern, and his eyelashes were imprinted with a layer of morning light when they swept down.

She tilted her head slightly, only to realize that it was already dawn.

"Are you having a nightmare?" Shen Muzhou asked.

Lin Yanxi got up from the bed, grabbed Shen Muzhou's shoulders and said, "I, it's not a dream. I really heard people whispering at my bedside, and they said that Aunt Yu had died a long time ago, more than ten years ago."

"They said I couldn't find Aunt Yu."

Her face was pale and haggard, and her eyes were slightly red, moist, and her eyes were brighter.

He hugged her into his arms, stroked her hair and said, "You're just too tired, we will definitely find Aunt Yu, there must be something strange here, we'll ask Jiang Cong later, and then go back to Taifu's mansion to ask."

Under his comfort, Lin Yanxi gradually calmed down, and thinking of Luo Jingxin, he subconsciously pushed Shen Muzhou away.

Her expression was slightly cold, and Shen Muzhou looked at her with some puzzlement, but she just lowered her eyes and didn't explain much.

It turned out that she didn't know the story between them, but now that she knows, she may have really robbed another person's position, although the marriage is fake, but it is still a little awkward.

What she can do is to find out the real culprit as soon as possible and the evidence of Shen Qingyun's evil, and when Shen Muzhou sits outside the crown prince, she can return everything to its original position.

Lin Yanxi wanted to wash up briefly, but she found that the copper basin in this room had a thick layer of ash, and it was also on the table.

Maybe it's because it's been uninhabited for a long time, and no one has cleaned it.

"What's going on? What the hell did we bump into? It's a ghost house!"
