"Can you tell me what's going on?"

Shang Xiaodie still wants to know the truth of the matter, so she asks tentatively.

Grandma Shang walked in front and didn't look back at Shang Xiaodie, and after a long time of silence, she said, "It stands to reason that you also have the right to know the truth." Since you asked today, the old body will tell you. It will also let you know why you are not allowed to do business burgers. ”

"Your mother and Haotian met by chance during an experience. ”

Haotian is the first heir of Shangbao, Shang Xiaodie's former titular father, Shang Haotian.

This is the first time Shang Xiaodie has heard the story of the grievances between them, and she has an indescribable complex feeling. However, she was not excited, as if she was listening to someone else's story and had nothing to do with herself. Because, both of them have only been living in what she has heard, and she has no impression of them. Moreover, all the previous stories were just a few words, and she could not form any specific and complete image in her cognition.

"Speaking of which, it was your mother who saved Haotian. This is also a bad fate, and the two fell in love at first sight. Haotian brought your mother to the merchant castle. Your mother was pregnant when you arrived at Fort Merchant, and that was you. At that time, we all thought that the child was Haotian, including Haotian himself. However, your mother deceived us all, and after Haotian learned the truth, he couldn't accept this fact and couldn't afford to fall ill. ”

Grandma Shang spoke extremely plainly, and finished in just a few words. There were many details that were not clear, but she clearly had no desire to continue.

Although Shang Xiaodie didn't hear it very clearly, she still knew the contradiction of the basic facts.

Shang Xiaodie naturally didn't know what happened to her mother at that time, but she believed that her mother had deceived Shang Haotian, but she was afraid that it might not be.

Speaking of which, I can only blame Shang Haotian for being cautious, just because of this, he ended up depressed, and he was too unmanly. Moreover, his mother was pregnant before she met him, and in this case, she fell in love with Shang Haotian at first sight, which fully showed that her mother must have other difficulties, and she must not like the man in front of her and escaped. For such a woman, shouldn't Shang Haotian be more pity and pity? But after he learned the truth, he was very careful. It can be seen that the so-called love is not so great. What's even more regrettable is that a big man still dies of depression because of this, which is even more ridiculous.

If you meet such a man in the future, don't do it.

Shang Xiaodie secretly slandered for a while, and she was quite unimpressed.

"And how did my mother die?"

Shang Xiaodie couldn't help but ask again, but her tone was very calm and unemotional.

"Hmph. Grandma Shang snorted coldly in her nose and said, "I'm ashamed to die." A harmful spirit like her, do you think she still has the face to live?"

Grandma Shang's words didn't motivate Shang Xiaodie. After all, Shang Xiaodie didn't even know what her mother was like, and in her memory, she didn't feel the slightest love from her mother, but was discriminated against and bullied because of it. In this case, it would not be normal if she was still full of emotions for her mother.

Shang Xiaodie couldn't help but sneer when she heard Grandma Shang's emotionally charged words, and said, "I thought I was killed by you." ”

Grandma Shang's body trembled slightly inexplicably, and she asked coldly, "If it was really killed by the old body, would you avenge her?"

Shang Xiaodie didn't expect Grandma Shang to suddenly ask such a question. To be honest, she hadn't thought about it before. At this time, he naturally didn't know how to answer, so he was slightly stunned and said vaguely: "I don't know." ”

Grandma Shang let out a strange laugh and said, "You are still honest, if you say no, the old body will not believe it." ”

As they spoke, the two of them arrived outside the merchant fort.

After three years, Shang Xiaodie came to this place again, and she had mixed feelings, but she quickly regained her mood, unmoved, and followed Grandma Shang towards the altar in the back mountain.

The merchant fort is built on the mountain, continuous into it, covering an area of more than 10,000 acres, a stone path winds up the mountain from the gate, until the back mountain, is cut off by a horizontal boulder. Behind the boulder is an isolated place, the altar, the forbidden place of the merchant fort.

To Shang Xiaodie's surprise, the altar is full of people, and almost all the core members of the merchant castle are there, including Shang Zhan, who used to bully Shang Xiaodie.

In fact, in the merchant fort, it is not Shang Zhan who bullies Shang Xiaodie the most, but Shang Zhan's father, Shang Haoran.

Grandma Shang has two sons, and Shang Haotian is the eldest, so he is the first heir. And Shang Haoran is the second, if Shang Haotian is there, Shang Haoran is not qualified to inherit the castle master. Therefore, after Shang Haotian's death, Shang Haoran was the biggest beneficiary.

It stands to reason that Shang Haoran picked up such a big bargain, and after Shang Haotian died, he should be secretly grateful to Shang Xiaodie. Because, Shang Haotian's death was objectively because of Shang Xiaodie's appearance. Therefore, even if he doesn't take care of Shang Xiaodie, at least he shouldn't bully her.

However, in order to show how deep his feelings are for his dead eldest brother, Shang Haoran actually tortured Shang Xiaodie pervertedly, saying that Shang Xiaodie was a broom star and the reincarnation of the devil, which cost the life of the heir of Shang Castle and caused him to lose his most respected and beloved eldest brother.

At this time, the pervert was also outside the altar, standing with his embarrassed son Shang Zhan. Both father and son look at Shang Xiaodie with gloating eyes.

For this father and son, Shang Xiaodie is naturally extremely disgusted. But she was in no mood to pay attention to them at this time, because she was quickly startled by the strange battle of the merchant fort at this time.

Except for Shang Haoran, father and son, who showed a hint of schadenfreude when they saw Shang Xiaodie, everyone else could not hide their nervousness.

Could it be that Fort Merchant is really in big trouble? This shouldn't be as simple as a ghost.

Shang Xiaodie pondered the meaning of tonight's intentions.

Grandma Shang personally went out and let herself come to the merchant fort to resolve the resentment of the ghosts, and the hurried looks of these people in the merchant fort could not be brought to them by a simple ghost?

Thinking about it like this, Shang Xiaodie immediately understood, but I was afraid that it was not that simple. Combined with the gloating expressions of Shang Haoran's father and son at him. I'm afraid tonight's trip to Fort Merchant's will not be good for me.

However, having made it to this point, Fluttershy can't help it.

As if she could understand Shang Xiaodie's thoughts, Grandma Shang suddenly stretched out her left hand like a chicken claw, clasped Shang Xiaodie's right wrist, and dragged Shang Xiaodie with a strong force, so that she could not move at all, and could only follow her mechanically, slowly walking up the stone steps towards the high platform at the entrance outside the altar.

Walking up the platform, Shang Xiaodie is more and more shocked, only to see the three elders waiting there.

The three elders of the merchant are the same generation as the grandmother of Shang, and they are the three younger brothers of the previous generation of the lord of the merchant fort, and the grandmother of the merchant is their sister-in-law. The previous lord of the castle has been dead for many years, and according to the clan rules of the merchant castle, the wife of the castle owner inherited the position of the lord of the castle.

Because this is a family rule, and Grandma Shang herself is also very prestigious because of her own strength, so the three elders of the merchant dare not disagree.

The three elders of the merchant are all between sixty and seventy years old, but they are all in good spirits, and their cultivation is not much lower than that of the grandmother of the merchant.

The three elders of the merchant are quite detached in the status of the merchant fort, basically ignoring the mundane affairs, and each of them has opened up a place of cultivation in the back mountain, and they have been practicing penance all year round, and rarely come out to activities. They all came out today, and they were still waiting outside the altar. This cannot but make people frightened, guessing what a terrible change has occurred in the altar.

"Fort Master. ”

The three elders of the merchant saluted the grandmother with a respectful attitude. They all looked at Shang Xiaodie, their eyes showing deep concern.

For these three old men, Shang Xiaodie has naturally seen them, but the number of times she has seen them is very rare, and she doesn't even know their names.

Of course, these three old men didn't bully her, maybe they didn't bother to bully her as a little girl at all.

However, because of her hatred for the house and Wu, Shang Xiaodie naturally does not have a good impression of the three merchants.

At this time, in the face of the worry that the three elders showed when they looked at her, Shang Xiaodie naturally did not pretend to think that they were worried about her safety. They were just worried about what was going on at the altar. It can be seen that a very big change must have been found in the altar of the merchant fort, and this change may even endanger the safety of the merchant fort. Otherwise, how could it alarm the three elders of the merchants?

Grandma Shang nodded slightly at the third elder, and her expression was extremely respectful.

The eldest of the three elders took a half step forward and said to Grandma Shang, "Castle Master, is this useful?"

Grandma Shang said: "This is a transaction, and whether it is useful or not cannot be guaranteed." However, the situation forced it to be like this. ”

Grandma Shang said, bowed to the three elders, and said solemnly: "Today is related to the survival of the merchant fort, and the old man's ability is limited, and it may be difficult to suppress him." So I had to alarm the three elders. The old man thanked him. ”

The third elder hurriedly saluted at the same time: "How dare you." ”

The eldest man further said: "There are eggs under the nest, and the old decay and others are all members of the merchant fort, and in the face of the safety of the merchant fort, they should do their part, this is originally a matter of duty, and the lord of the castle does not need to be polite. ”

Grandma Shang nodded movingly, and then looked at the dense clansmen under the high platform with complicated eyes, her expression became more and more solemn, and then she said to the three elders of the merchants: "Just in case, please wait outside for the three elders." ”

The third elder's face suddenly showed a look of surprise, and he asked in unison, "Do you need to form the 'Heavenly Demon Demon Array'?" Is it so serious?"

Grandma Shang said solemnly: "Be prepared, it's better to be cautious, you have worked hard for the three elders, you must not let the resentment overflow the altar, otherwise, the people will not be able to be safe." ”

"Yes!"

The three elders glanced at each other with surprised eyes, and then agreed solemnly.
