Xu Cheng's face turned from white to red, his eyes filled with anger, and he glared at Xu Zhixi: "What nonsense are you talking about!"
It vividly demonstrates what it means to become angry and "blow your beard and stare".
Second Mrs. Xu stepped forward and raised her voice: "Taoist Master Xu, how can you, an outsider, have my husband's things? You can't just take some pickled things and slander them as my husband's."
Her eyes flickered uncertainly, with a hint of guilt.
It seems that both the couple know something inside.
Xu Zhixi straightened her messy sideburns and dusted the hem of her wedding dress in front of everyone. Then a soft smile appeared on her weak and pale pretty face, "Second sister-in-law, why are you still here?" Call me Taoist Master Xu, and besides, I’m married to Xuan Lang, so I’m not an outsider to the Xu family.”
Everyone's expressions changed.
Mrs. Xu was choked and said nothing for a long time, her chest rising and falling.
Mrs. Xu said: "It is true that after last night, Master Xu became a member of my Xu family. But...as my sister-in-law, what are you doing, disrespectful to your brother and sister-in-law?"
What’s even more interesting is that it seems that Mrs. Xu also knows the inside story.
Gu Zi spoke up: "We found these things in Xu Cheng's room, and Xu's servants testified. Your second son, Xu Cheng, has been smoking opium in private."
Mrs. Xu glanced sharply at Xu Cheng and his wife, but then turned to look at Gu Zi: "Daozhang Gu, our Xu family invites you to perform rituals, not to interfere with private affairs. This matter , the two Taoist priests are a bit nosy."
"Hey, mother-in-law, I am now the third young lady of the Xu family, how can I meddle in others' affairs?"
Xu Zhixi's eyes signaled to Gu Zi that she would handle this matter.
As a woman who has lived in a wealthy family for many years, even if she is usually frail and sick and doesn't have much interaction with others, she still has some experience.
"Besides, this matter has something to do with my husband Xu Xuan, so of course I have to take care of it."
Xu Cheng's eyes became more panicked. Xu Zhixi took out two pieces of paper from the inside of her wedding dress. One was the paper she found in Xu Xuan's study last time with only two lines of words left, and the other was It was half a piece of unburned paper found in the brazier in Xu Cheng's backyard.
"This is Xu Xuan's handwriting. You should know it better than me. Although some words have been burned on some parts, it does not affect the content.
The first line, 'Brother sincerely expresses his sincerity: I am very heartbroken to hear that my brother is addicted to opium. Opium is the first of all evils, a weapon used by the barbarians to destroy the spirit and body of the people... Please destroy it in time. '
There is another "Wang Brother Correction" signed Xu Xuan. "
Mrs. Xu frowned, "What does Master Xu mean?"
"Isn't it very clear? Xu Xuan did not contract the bad habit of opium at all, but Xu Cheng framed him.
In fact, it was Xu Ershao who killed those people. He went crazy due to drug addiction, killed the servants, and put the blame on Xu Xuan. Then he took the opportunity to praise Xu Xuan for his poison, locked him up, stabbed him in the chest with a silver hairpin, killed him, and then pretended that Xu Xuan committed suicide. "
Xu Cheng burst out laughing: "Hahahahahahahaha..."
"Daozhang Xu, you are too good at guessing.
It is true that I smoked opium, and my third brother did come to see me because of this matter, but as for him, he was not framed by me.
I asked him to give this ecstasy a try and he couldn't help himself.
He is more addicted and addicted than me, and he goes crazy and kills people. I have no choice but to lock him up. He indeed committed suicide. He inserted the hairpin into his chest and hung the beam by himself. "
At this time, an elegant male voice intervened, "That's true. We all know these inside stories.
At that time, my second brother and I witnessed the third brother murder with our own eyes. It's just my second brother... I won't let you touch these things anymore, right? "The person who spoke out was Xu Qing, the eldest son of the Xu family, with a heartbroken look on his face.
"Can--"
Xu Zhixi wanted to say something more, but Wang Li stopped her: "Okay. Our job is to suppress the evil spirits, not to interfere with the Xu family's private affairs."
"Then I am Xu Xuan's wife now, so I should know the truth, right?"
Mrs. Xu's eyes were cold, "Daoist Master Xu is right, you are now part of our Xu family. But you are treasonous by slandering your elder brother and killing your own brother.
Someone comes and puts the third lady in the young master's room. Don't come out without permission. "
Xu Zhixi was stunned, and two tall middle-aged maids walked out from the side, took Xu Zhixi's arms from left to right, and pulled her away. She was already thin and unable to move at all, so she was forced to walk outside.
Mrs. Xu's eyes moved to Gu Zi, "What does this Taoist priest think?"
Gu Zi gave a refreshing smile and said, "This is all Xu Zhai's family affairs, outsiders don't need to get involved."
…
"Hey, hey, hey - there's no need to lock me up, right?"
The door was closed, and the sound of locking was heard from outside. Xu Zhixi patted the door, but no one responded. She had no choice but to turn around and sit on the stool.
Xu Zhixi slammed the table and said angrily, "Everyone in this house is in the same group!"
"What Madam said is absolutely true."
The cold male voice replied.
Xu Zhixi was stunned, turned around, and saw a red figure sitting next to her. I don’t know if it’s because she is not afraid at all now.
"Why are you here?"
"When the wife is in trouble, the husband will naturally come to her. Otherwise, how can she be worthy of the wife's painstaking efforts to redress her husband's injustice."
Xu Xuan's thin lips are extremely brightly colored, with dark eyes and bright red thin lips curved.
"You also said that if you are not a fierce ghost, why were you bullied like this?"
"Madam, you didn't believe what they said? After all, I am a fierce ghost. How can I be called a fierce ghost if my hands are not stained with blood."
Xu Zhixi was stunned. She seemed to have never considered the authenticity of Xu Cheng's words in her mind. She subconsciously thought that Xu Cheng was quibbling and everyone else was covering for Xu Cheng.
She felt angry and unfair for Xu Xuan.
However, the biggest boss in the entire dungeon is clearly Xu Xuan! If he can control himself, he can also control others.
There may be no one else behind Xiaocui's incident, and Xiaocui may be working for Xu Xuan.
But she rejected this idea from the beginning.
"Are you lying to me?"
Xu Zhixi's cyan eyelashes blinked.
The smile on Xu Xuan's lips deepened, and he uttered four words, "Madam, what do you think?"
Guess you are a big-headed ghost!
Xu Zhixi was extremely angry, angry and aggrieved, with tears hidden in her peach blossom eyes, "I am doing something for you, and we are husband and wife. Shouldn't you be honest with each other?"
"Be honest with each other? Madam, I am a fierce ghost, how can I talk about being honest with each other?"
He stretched out his hand to lift Xu Zhixi's scattered hair around her ears, and leaned towards her, "Madam is the most special person I have ever met."
"What's so special, so stupid?"
Xu Xuan's smile deepened, "Madam is so cute. I can't bear to kill Madam at all. I opened the lock outside, Madam, please leave here as soon as possible."
The cold and soft touch fell on Xu Zhixi's forehead. She was in a trance. When she came back to her senses, Xu Xuan's figure disappeared.
Xu Zhixi opened the door and the door lock fell on the ground outside.
She walked out of the door, and the sky outside was dark and misty. The whole house was shrouded in black clouds, which made her breathless.
"Ah - please let me go, please, let me go -"
A shrill female voice screamed for help. Xu Zhixi ran over following the sound and saw a man pressing on a woman with the intention of committing violence.
Xu Zhixi stopped: "Stop!"
The man turned around, saw Xu Zhixi, and ran away instantly.
Xu Zhixi was stunned. She also knew that man.
It's Xu Qing, the eldest young master of the Xu family.
