The woman, known as the "Night Maiden," lay in the attic.

She looked haggard, her face was so withered that she couldn't even breathe, and it looked like her days were numbered.

"My body was already weak every night, and I suffered from the wind and cold a few years ago. Although he was cured, his body was not as good as he was a year ago, and now he can only stay in bed all day long. The woman walked over to the night girl's bed and nudged her.

"Night, get up quickly, someone has come to see you. The woman whispered to her.

"Xiangxiang, don't make trouble. The night girl woke up and said angrily. This night girl is still like a little girl!

Miss Xiang opened the tent and pointed to Xu Ming and Zhu Shuying, who were standing aside: "Look who's coming!"

"Who else knows me in this huge imperial capital!" the night girl smiled and slowly turned her head sideways.

There was a sudden silence in the attic, and there was no sound at all.

"Xiangxiang, this person, it looks like him!" the night girl was stunned for a long time before she asked Xiangxiang in disbelief, "Did I read it wrong, or did I fall asleep?"

Miss Xiang's eyes were slightly red, she took her hand and said, "You are not mistaken, these two people are the descendants of Ma Bi, and they are looking for you!"

Xu Ming and Zhu Shuying exchanged glances, and they both stepped forward and bowed: "The junior Ma Mengqi (Ma Dan) has seen Aunt Ye. ”

"You, you are his ......" The Night Maiden's emotions suddenly became very excited, her withered face flushed, and she couldn't even speak.

"The younger Ma Dan, Ma Bi is the uncle of the younger generation. "They have already discussed it before entering the door, and in the Hongxing Building, Xu Ming will try to speak. So Xu Ming stepped forward and said, "This is the clan brother Ma Mengqi, the son of my uncle." ”

"Did he tell you to come looking for me?" the Night Maiden's voice trembled.

"Exactly!" replied "Madan" respectfully.

"He, how is he doing? Why don't you come in person?"

"Ma Dan" said with a tone of loss and regret: "A few years ago, my uncle died of illness, and my brother and I kept filial piety for my uncle. At the end of the filial piety period, we will follow my uncle's last wish and come to you. ”

He ...... Is he dead?" the Night Maiden looked incredulous, trembling slightly. Two lines of tears instantly fell on their faces.

"Please mourn. Ma Dan lowered his head and whispered.

"It's okay, it's okay. The low whimpering voice was accompanied by Miss Xiang's comfort, and Xu Ming was inexplicably sad when he heard it.

"Come to think of it, Ma Bi and the Night Girl once had an unforgettable love!" Xu Ming sighed secretly.

"You, come here. The Night Girl gently pushed Miss Xiang away and pointed to "Ma Meng Ride".

Xu Ming looked at Zhu Shuying, who was standing in place and had no reaction for the time being, and quietly pinched her.

"Oh, here we are. Zhu Shuying gasped in pain, and then woke up like a dream.

Zhu Shuying walked to the bedside of the night girl.

"Sit. ”

Zhu Shuying mechanically sat on the edge of the night girl's bed.

"It's like him, just like when he was younger. The Night Maiden gently stretched out her arm and touched the face of the "Ma Meng Ride".

The Night Maiden's hands are not pretty, nor are they smooth. The long-term illness has tormented her to the point that she has no human appearance, and her hands are so thin that only bones remain, and it is not comfortable to touch her face.

Xu Mingzheng was a little gloating, watching Zhu Shuying stammering to answer the night girl's question, and suddenly a voice from Miss Xiang came from his ears: "Come here." ”

Xu Ming looked to the side, and Miss Xiang winked at him.

He followed Miss Xiang out of the attic.

"Your acting skills are so good, I was almost deceived by you. Out of the attic, Miss Xiang found a quiet and uninhabited corner and stopped, looking at Xu Ming vigilantly, "Say, what is your purpose." ”

Xu Ming was so frightened that he almost fell down with a weak leg. "There's no reason for her to find a flaw, is she just testing me?" Xu Ming thought so, laughed with him, and arched his hand and said, "What does aunt mean? ”

Miss Xiang sneered: "Let's be honest, the Ma Bi family is dead, and I have already investigated it a few years ago." And you can't fool me, I've seen Mamon and Madan, and though they were young, I could still recognize them. But I have to admit that you pretend to be very similar, and if I hadn't known that Ma Dan and Ma Meng Qi were dead, I wouldn't have been able to tell the difference. ”

"The eighteenth male college has changed, right, Auntie. Xu Ming still stiffened his neck and refused to admit it.

"Still not telling the truth?" Miss Xiang's eyes lit up, and a short knife was already on Xu Ming's neck, "A Yuan Infant Realm, I want you to tell the truth There is still a way, don't force me to use soul searching." ”

"Turning into a god, definitely a god!" Xu Ming was almost scared to pee, and his legs couldn't stop shaking, "How could it be, in the small red apricot building, in the red apricot building where there is not even an oiran, there is actually a master of the god transformation realm!"

"Don't don't, the heroine spares her life, I say I say. Xu Ming was stunned for a moment, and raised his hands to surrender, "We really have no malicious intent." ”

Without waiting for Miss Xiang to ask, Xu Ming told everything about the cause of the incident, like pouring beans.

After listening to Xu Ming's "statement" and making sure that he hadn't lied to herself, Miss Xiang finally withdrew the knife.

The chill on his neck disappeared, and Xu Ming breathed a long sigh of relief.

"You said that the one who killed Ma Bi could be someone from the outside world?" said the incense girl.

Xu Ming nodded: "We are so suspicious, although it feels a little incredible, but maybe it's because of vendetta." Ma Bi's inadvertent enmity offended people who shouldn't be offended. ”

Miss Xiang shook her head: "I don't feel like it, with his character, he won't offend people for no reason." ”

"Maybe!" Xu Ming said.

Miss Xiang didn't refute: "You go and ask Ye Ye, she should know much more about these old things than me." ”

"We're pretending to be Ma Bi's descendants, aren't you angry?" Xu Ming asked cautiously.

Miss Xiang sighed softly: "I haven't dared to tell Yeye about Ma Bi. She's in a bad situation right now, and I'm afraid she won't be able to stand it when she knows the truth. Her only wish now is to see Ma Bi again, and he said that he would come back to pick her up, and he has been waiting for it all night. Now that you're here, you can be considered to have fulfilled one of her wishes. ”

"How did Ma Bi and the Night Girl meet?" Xu Ming was suddenly curious about the love story between the two.

"They've known each other for a long time. At that time, Ma Bi went to Beijing to take the exam, but he failed the list, and he didn't dare to go home, so he stayed in the imperial capital and lingered in this Yingyue Lake. ”

Later, they met Yeye, and the two fell in love at first sight. In order to redeem the Red Apricot Building every night, Ma Bi was ready to take the exam again. During that time, Mabi's food and lodging were managed night and night. Xiang Girl recalled that part of the past, filled with the fragrance of summer lotus flowers.

"At that time, we were not optimistic about them, and my mother kept scolding them for not being able to do anything at night. Thankfully, they survived. Ma Bi won the top prize in high school, won the favor of Master Xu, and married his daughter to him. Ma Bi also promised Yeye that when he had saved enough money, he would come to ransom her. ”

It's a pity that in less than a year, Ma Bi sneaked out of the imperial capital for some reason and went to Jingguo. Before leaving, I saw each other alone, and left a child from nowhere to be raised by Ye Ye Ye. Ye Ye also became the laughing stock of the people in the building, and the child was also thrown away by his mother. Night after night, I was depressed all day long, and I fell ill. Later, I became the mother of Hongxinglou and have been taking care of Ye Ye Ye until now. ”

"Wait, child?" Xu Ming grasped a very suspicious point, "I suspect that Ma Bi gave someone else green and gave birth to a child, so he ran away for fear of being discovered." It's a pity that it was discovered in the end, and someone hired a killer to kill the whole family!"

Miss Xiang glanced at Xu Ming speechlessly, sneered, and left.

"I think it's a possibility, isn't it?!"
