She watched the hurriedly fleeing figure disappear around the corner.
"It's ironic, there are no good people in this house."
The woman who had just been raped sat up, gathered her open clothes, and pushed the hair behind her ears behind her ears, revealing a beautiful face.
Fair skin, curved and thin eyebrows, and pointed chin. Her pupils were dark and the whites of her eyes were few, but they seemed to have been drained of life and had no luster.
She seemed to have seen this woman somewhere.
It was the female ghost in white, Xu Zhixi suddenly remembered.
"Are you Aunt Lin?"
The woman twitched her lips and said, "It's me." She pointed to the bench next to her and said to Xu Zhixi, "Come and sit."
Xu Zhixi entered the room and sat next to her.
Aunt Lin picked up the teapot, poured a glass of water, and pushed the teacup in front of her.
Xu Zhixi took it and said thank you.
"Are you the girl who is secretly married to the third young master?"
"It's me." She could guess it, and Xu Zhixi was not surprised because she was still wearing her wedding dress.
She sighed, "It's also pitiful that she was pushed to become a ghost bride."
Xu Zhixi couldn't help but ask: "Are you mad because you didn't gain or lose? The one who bullied you just now was Xu Qing, the eldest son of the Xu family?"
She gave a wry smile and said, "There are so many dirty tricks in this deep compound that I can't even count them. I pretended to be crazy just to be on guard against that beast Xu Qing. But after he found out that I was pretending to be crazy and stupid, he …”
"Then what did you mean when you said there is no good person in this house?"
Hearing this, Aunt Lin and Xu Zhixi looked at each other, their eyes dark and their expressions as if they were frozen.
“There is no good man in this house.
The Liu family had an affair with the second uncle of the Xu family, and they also teamed up with an adulterer to kill the master.
Xu Qing is a complete hypocrite, a beast, and insults his father's concubine.
Xu Cheng and his wife were drug addicts, killing servants and losing their humanity.
As for Xu Xuan... he was innocent when he was alive, but he became a fierce ghost after his death. "
A huge amount of information exploded in Xu Zhixi's mind.
Aunt Lin stood up, picked up a cup of tea with her plain white fingers, and started laughing maniacally.
Xu Zhixi was a little at a loss.
Suddenly, the cup in Aunt Lin's hand slipped and shattered on the ground. She stopped laughing, her expression was dull, and her eyes were fixed on Xu Zhixi's bun.
"Where did the silver hairpin on your head come from?"
She grabbed Xu Zhixi's arm with a look of madness in her expression.
Xu Zhixi replied: "Xu Xuan gave it to me."
She instantly seemed to have lost all strength and collapsed on the ground. Then she looked at Xu Zhixi with a sad look in her eyes: "I plunged this into Xu Xuan's chest with my own hands."
"What did you say? Did you kill Xu Xuan?" Xu Zhixi was shocked.
Aunt Lin covered her face and cried: "I killed him. He obviously came to save me, but I killed him."
"Can you make it clear?"
Aunt Lin put down her hand and sobbed: "That day, Xu Qing wanted to do something wrong to me, but Xu Xuan bumped into me. Xu Xuan wanted to save me, so he fought with Xu Qing, and Xu Qing pinned him to the ground. I was obsessed with taking this silver hairpin and inserted it into Xu Xuan's chest."
"Why did you want to kill Xu Xuan? Shouldn't you be helping Xu Xuan?"
Xu Zhixi was puzzled.
"At that time, I just thought that the matter between me and Xu Qing should not be leaked..." Aunt Lin grabbed Xu Zhixi's wrist, "Please tell Xu Xuan for me, I didn't mean it, and I didn't want to. I will I blame myself endlessly..."
Xu Zhixi was extremely angry, her chest was rising and falling, and somehow she had a little more strength than usual to throw away Aunt Lin's hand.
"It's high-sounding, but it's not for yourself. You are Xu Qing's victim. It's true that it's miserable, but what about Xu Xuan? What did Xu Xuan do wrong?"
Xu Zhixi only felt a tightness in her chest.
"It was his fault that he should not have been born in this dirty house."
Aunt Lin's eyes were hollow, tears streaming down from the corners of her eyes.
Xu Zhixi shook her head, held up the hem of her wedding dress, crossed the threshold, and left the house.
The sky outside is getting darker.
The further she walked, the sadder she became, and her heart seemed to be squeezed tightly. Such an elegant and upright young man, as innocent as a lotus, should have written with youthful spirit, scolded Fang Qiu, and pursued his ideals with a group of like-minded young people.
As a result, his bones were buried in this deep compound.
Something scratched my cheek.
Xu Zhixi reached out and touched her, her fingers were wet.
It turned out to be tears.
…
Xu Zhixi walked to the main hall, but there was no one here. Not even half a servant.
"What is the third lady looking for?"
A hoarse and unpleasant voice came.
Xu Zhixi followed her reputation and saw that she was the old woman who sent them into Xu's house.
"Where are they?"
The old woman's back was hunched, her withered face was wrinkled, and her eyes were cloudy.
"They are all summoning spirits in the wedding room between you and the third young master."
Xu Zhixi thought that Wang Li and the others would use the "silver hairpin" to get rid of Xu Xuan.
The silver hairpin was the same style as the one on Xu Zhixi's head, but it was only the silver hairpin that killed Xu Xuan. All, one silver hairpin is fake. She thought again of the receipt from the silver jewelry shop in Xiaocui's room.
It should be that Xiaocui secretly made a fake silver hairpin to deceive Xu Qing or Xu Cheng. Or - two people.
"Thank you."
Xu Zhixi thanked the old woman and left.
But the old woman asked: "Is the third lady rushing to save other people, or is she rushing to save the third young master?"
Xu Zhixi paused.
"Do you know what's going on?"
The old woman did not answer Xu Zhixi's question, but stretched out her hand and pointed to the landscape painting in the main hall.
"That's the third young master's painting."
Xu Zhixi was stunned. She looked at the landscape. The ink-wash landscape was free and easy yet fresh and elegant. It really looked like Xu Xuan's style. But she didn't understand why she mentioned Xu Xuan's paintings at this time.
"Third Madam, let me take you there."
"good."
Xu Zhixi followed the old woman.
Passing by the rockery and the pond again, the water in the pond seemed to be getting darker and darker. At this time, it was completely like a pond filled with ink.
Xu Zhixi followed the old woman, but she saw the old woman suddenly stopped, pointed at the pool and said, "This pool is Xu's house."
Xu Zhixi turned around and looked at the dark water, thoughtfully.
"Indeed, this house is dark—"
Before she could even finish her words, a force suddenly hit her back and she fell into the pool.
"I won't let you save those people."
Xu Zhixi originally wanted to swim up, but found that her body was extremely heavy and she sank straight to the bottom of the water.
…
Cold fingers rubbed her chin, Xu Zhixi's eyelashes trembled, she opened her eyes and looked into a pair of deep eyes.
"Xu Xuan?"
She gasped heavily.
The familiar red clothes and familiar handsome face made Xu Zhixi relax a little.
"Did you save me? You are still loyal."
Xu Xuan remained silent.
Xu Zhixi was a little surprised. Normally, this male ghost would be "talking nonsense". Only then did I realize that something was not right with this Xu Xuan.
"Who are you? Do you know me?"
Xu Xuan looked at her with a strange look.
"You don't know me? Didn't you keep calling me madam? Now your face has changed?"
Xu Xuan's eyes were cold, "It's a joke, I've never had a wife."
His appearance really didn't look like he was pretending, and Xu Zhixi was a little confused.
She climbed up, glanced around, and her pupils shrank sharply.
This is the main hall of Xu's house. Having been there so many times, Xu Zhixi will not admit his mistake.
However, the place was in ruins, the wooden furniture was corroded, and spider webs were hanging everywhere. There were also skeletons lying everywhere, with clothing hanging on them.
Xu Bai, Xu Mu, Xu Cheng, Xu Qing...
"Are they all dead?"
Xu Zhixi was stunned.
"Yes, I killed him."
Xu Xuan replied, his gorgeous thin lips curved.
"No one has been here for years, and you are the first."
