Chapter 014: Passing
Zeng Yumo knelt in an inconspicuous corner, numbly burning paper money, his eyes were dull, and he didn't even take into account the etiquette that the Zeng family valued most, and he didn't even look at the relatives and friends who came to mourn, let alone greet and salute.
His brain was now like a mess, slimy and knotted.
He and the third lady of the Qiao family just got married two months ago, and this family affair is a kiss and a kiss for the Zeng family. Qiao's family is Zeng Yumo's mother's mother's mother's
The two of them often meet together to talk about their children's love stories. Miss Qiao San heard that Zeng Yurou's dowry had a particularly precious five-eyed peacock feather, and she said to Zeng Yumo that she wanted to see the mysterious five-eyed peacock feather.
Zeng Yumo took this matter to heart, but he was young, his father did not hand over any family affairs to him, and he didn't even know where his father's secret room was, let alone the key to his father's secret room.
On weekdays, the second brother loves him the most on weekdays, so he begged Zeng Yutong.
Zeng Yutong has always been quiet and not good at family business, and most of the things in the family are mainly taken care of by his eldest brother Zeng Yuwen. Zeng Yumo was not sure if the second brother could help him, after all, the eldest brother was more powerful in front of his father than the second brother. But if he begged the eldest brother, it is estimated that the eldest brother would immediately scold himself and tell his father about it.
After Zeng Yumo told his second brother about this, within a few days, Zeng Yutong stole Zeng Zhenxin's key and told Zeng Yumo where their father's secret vault was, but he didn't tell Zeng Yumo how he stole the key, but only warned Zeng Yumo to return it as soon as possible after getting it.
Zeng Yumo's heart was flustered for a while, and while Zeng Zhenxin was not there, he secretly came to the secret room.
The key to the chamber had three layers, and his trembling hands hadn't put the key into the keyhole several times.
He sweated a lot before opening the door, this was the first time he entered the secret room, the secret room is not large, there is a row of large cabinets on each of the three walls, one cabinet contains the details of the Zeng family's business dealings, and the other cabinet contains silver tickets and gold, silver and jewelry. His target was lying quietly in the center of the most conspicuous chamber, supported by a separate jeweled box.
This is a gorgeous and dazzling feather, and the blue and yellow eyes are so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off it.
Zeng Yumo took it off with trembling hands, for fear that one would accidentally break the fluttering feather. Fortunately, although it looks like a fine fluffy feather, it is soft but flexible and will not be easily torn off.
After getting the things, he hurriedly asked Miss Qiao San to meet in the osmanthus forest near Huanhua Creek outside the town.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and the osmanthus flowers are fragrant, which is a good time to date a beautiful woman. He happily crossed the river and happily presented this treasure to the beautiful woman to watch.
Third Sister Qiao praised it, unable to hide the envy in her eyes. Zeng Yumo couldn't bear to make her sad, and secretly vowed in her heart to find something better than the five-eyed peacock feather as her dowry.
On the way back, he had something on his mind, not as excited as when he went, and looked at Huanhuaxi in a daze from time to time.
Why did my father choose to give his second sister a dowry for such a precious and beautiful thing? If he could leave it to him...... Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be stunned, what was he thinking, his brain burned out, it was some confused thoughts, and he felt guilty about the thoughts in his heart.
Back at Zeng's mansion, he wanted to return the things, but who knew that the bag containing the five-eyed peacock feather was gone. He remembered that the bag had been in the sleeve of his underwear, and it was impossible for it to be gone.
He was so frightened that he was covered in a cold sweat, and hurriedly turned back to look all the way, and he didn't dare to tell anyone, but he just ran around like a headless fly. I went to Huanhuaxi to ask the old man Li who was holding the boat, the old man Li parked the boat on the shore, got off anchor, and went to the town to drink.
After losing it, he didn't dare to tell his family, but he blindly sent someone to look for it carefully. When he returned the key to Zeng Yutong, Zeng Yutong asked him if he had returned the things, and he nodded and left in a hurry, for fear that Zeng Yutong would continue to ask.
He thought that the matter could be concealed for a while, and after more than ten days of panic, the incident finally happened.
The father was very angry and furious, and he was trembling with fear. When his father asked him how he got the key, he was too scared to give his second brother out.
Who knew that the second brother would ...... Unexpectedly......
The huge guilt and self-blame weighed him down, and he wondered if he should go with his second brother.
The father, who had always had a smiling face, was heartbroken, his trademark smiling face became cloudy, and he was powerless to pursue the lost five-eyed peacock feather, immersed in the sadness of the white-haired man sending the black-haired man.
A man gently patted him on the shoulder, pulling him back from his thoughts.
"Brother Jiang. Seeing the visitor, Zeng Yumo lowered his head and muttered. Speaking of which, the five-eyed peacock feather should enter the door of the Jiang family soon, but now that he has lost it, let alone anything, even his marriage with his second sister may not be known.
The father wanted to obtain business access to Nanping by marrying his daughter, and now he has ruined it all with his own hands.
Luo Xifeng can understand his current mood, some things can't be comforted with words, he has to rely on himself.
While mourning Zeng Yutong, Luo Xifeng took the opportunity to observe his body. Zeng Yutong's face was pale, and there were obvious dark purple strangulation marks on his neck. Walking in the Zeng Mansion, he heard the people of the Zeng Mansion talking in private, and when the accident happened, Zeng Yutong instructed the people in the house to avoid it, and not to let anyone disturb him for two hours.
After listening to his orders, everyone retreated, and it was not until dinner time that a slave maid found Zeng Yutong hanging himself in his study, and his body was hardened when he was found.
Self-hanging, such a judgment is accurate for any ordinary person in Furong Town, but Luo Xifeng detected the aura of a cultivator in Zeng Yutong's body.
Furong Town is located in the south of the Central Plains, it is just a small town, the people in the town are simple, most of them are some merchants, and there are almost no local cultivators in Furong Town.
It has something to do with the outsiders.
Luo Xifeng's spiritual power is too thin now, although he can't confirm what kind of immortal trick Zeng Yutong was cast, but he can be sure that Zeng Yutong is definitely not a suicide, he was given an immortal trick to control his body, and he faked the appearance of suicide.
Things are getting more and more complicated, and there are cultivators who are working in the dark of Zeng's mansion, and his target is also the five-eyed peacock feather.
Now Luo Xifeng can be sure that they have already colluded with Zeng Yutong, and they don't know the whereabouts of the real five-eyed peacock feather.
Perhaps Zeng Yutong was unwilling to cooperate with them anymore, so they poisoned him and got rid of him.
Luo Xifeng was observing and thinking about a series of things that had happened, but Cha Ming's mind couldn't take away from Zeng Yurou at the moment.
The hairpin on her head became more and more familiar the more she looked at it.
