After about a stick of incense, Yang Yun took Liang Jiunan and Yu Langya to a room in the backyard.
When you push the door open, you will see the layout and furnishings. Although it can be seen that no one has lived in it for a long time, it has been kept spotless.
"This is my sister Yang Lian's boudoir before she married into the Pei family."
After Yang Yun placed the lantern on the table in the room, the candlelight also lit up the entire room.
All the arrangements are like ordinary boudoir girls, there is nothing unusual about it.
Only Yang Lian's tablet was never placed in the ancestral hall at home, but was placed here.
Yang Yun smiled bitterly: "Dad and mother come here every day. It would be inconvenient to place the memorial tablet in the ancestral hall."
Liang Jiunan nodded and looked around the incense burner in front of the altar, where there was faint incense ash spilling out.
In the incense burner, there are still incense heads that have just burned out.
Obviously, as Yang Yun said, the Yang family worships their eldest daughter Yang Lian every day.
Liang Jiunan and Yu Langya also offered a pillar of fragrance to the deceased out of courtesy.
On the side, Yang Yun couldn't help but said:
"Actually... the first person to marry into the Pei family was my sister."
"It's just that the master hadn't separated his family at that time, so no one in Yangzhou City knew about my sister."
"Cui Huan was also the maid who followed my sister at first."
"Later, my sister died in childbirth and the child was not saved. The master was disheartened and thought of dividing the family. Even the maids and servants who were familiar with my sister were sent back to my parents."
"Only Cui Huan stayed for some unknown reason."
"When the funeral is over, I will marry the master as your second wife."
"Then, after another half a year, Mrs. Pei got married!"
Speaking of this, Yang Yun couldn't help showing a hint of resentment.
Liang Jiuhan saw this and became even more confused.
According to the clues they investigated, there was a big problem between Yang Yun and Pei.
If Yang Yun really had any problem, why would she show such blatant resentment at this time?
Could it be that... there is really something fishy about Yang Yun's matter?
In doubt, Liang Jiunan asked:
"IMHO."
"In that case..."
"Mrs. Yang, why did you marry Pei Ji?"
"Shouldn't you... also resent your master?"
Yang Yun laughed at herself:
"How can you not complain?"
"But, first of all, when my sister married the master, she had a cold temperament, and because she was teased by the old lady, she had a reputation of being jealous. As a result, I also had a bad reputation and couldn't find a good job."
"Secondly, regarding the relationship between families, the two adults are practitioners, so I'm afraid they don't know the secrets involved."
Liang Jiunan and Yu Langya looked at each other and immediately said, "Mrs. Yang, I would like to hear the details."
Yang Yun sighed softly, with a hint of helpless sorrow in her eyes:
"In order to ensure the personal connections between families, marriage is the most common method. But...if the person to whom the marriage is connected dies unexpectedly, the connection will be severed."
"So, many families, like my Yang family, often marry another daughter to be their equal wife."
"In this way, the connections between families will continue, and the families can also benefit from each other."
"Compared to the Pei family, the Yang family is certainly a small family, but it is also useful."
Liang Jiunan thought for a while and finally asked:
"Then... please think about it carefully, Mrs. Yang."
"Is there really nothing weird in the three days from when you came back to when the tenant farmers incident happened?"
"Weird..." Yang Yun frowned. After thinking for a moment, her eyebrows moved and she suddenly said:
"Speaking of which, my parents really forgot something just now."
"I was bullied by Mrs. Pei, and the day after I returned to my parents' home, my mother was indeed worried that my destiny would be evil and that I might be injured."
"So, I invited an alchemist to tell my fortune."
"I was still surprised at the time. Yangjia Villa is a relatively remote place. How could we hire a Feng Shui master on the same day?"
"This person wears a black veil, and his voice is sometimes male or female. It's very strange."
"Finally, because I was at risk of being entangled by villains, I set up a Feng Shui formation in the ancestral hall at home."
Liang Jiunan's eyebrows moved.
Feng shui?
Isn't this a coincidence?
"Mrs. Yang, can you go to the ancestral hall and see it?"
Yang Yun showed a hint of embarrassment:
"My lords, please don't be offended."
"The ancestral hall... after all, there are ancestral hall rules. You must not disturb them at night."
"And the key is in my father's hands. He has already gone back to his room to rest. It's better to wait until tomorrow."
"It's getting late today, so I'll arrange a place for you two first."
Liang Jiunan nodded: "Okay. But it doesn't have to be too much trouble. We people in the Demon Subduing Division don't have to pay so much attention. Just one room will be fine."
Yang Yun was a little surprised, but she still followed the instructions.
After a while, the guest room was ready and Yang Yun left.
After checking whether there were any charms and other objects in the room, Yu Langya locked the door and sat aside: "Just now, why didn't you ask about the contract?"
Liang Jiunan shook his head:
"Some things, if you ask them, you will only alert them."
"Assuming that the Yang family is the culprit, then this contract must be very important."
"What we have said now is just to let them think of a reason to prevaricate. It is better not to say anything."
Immediately, Liang Jiunan took out pen, ink, paper and inkstone from his luggage: "Let's sort out the current clues first."
As he spoke, he sketched out numerous names and elements one by one.
Among them, the most critical figures are Pei, Cui Huan, Pei Ji, Pei Sima, and Yang Yang Yun.
Liang Jiunan pointed to the word "Pei":
"First of all, it can be basically concluded that Pei was responsible for the massacre of infant ghosts at the Pei family's New Year's Eve ceremony."
"The reason lies in the inexplicable reasons and secrets, which made Mrs. Pei hate the concubines and concubines in the family, and claimed that it was for the sake of those baby girls that she drowned them in the witchcraft of female washing."
"The female-washing magic can ensure the feng shui of the family."
"Among them, there is a possibility that Pei Ji may turn a blind eye.
"In the end, the drowned child became an infant ghost, and on the day of Pei's death, he broke through to the eighth level and disappeared into the Pei Mansion."
Yu Langya nodded:
"Cuihuan herself was Yang Lian's personal maid. Later, when the family was separated, she took the deed and turned to serve the Pei family who married in half a year later."
"Time-wise, she was acting a little weird."
Liang Jiunan seemed to understand what Yu Langya meant and echoed:
"Yes, Cui Huan is Yang Lian's maid, and she must be more familiar with Yang Yun."
"After Yang Lian died, let's just say that Cui Huan was greedy for glory and wealth. But the first one to marry in was Yang Yun. Logically speaking, Cui Huan was still a maid at that time, why didn't she go to Yang Lian after her death and instead... serve her for half a year? Mr. Pei who came in later?"
"Not to mention, Mrs. Pei seems to be unkind to Yang Lian. According to Yang Yun, it was Mrs. Pei who caused Cuihuan's miscarriage."
Yu Langya then pointed at Pei Ji:
"What about Mr. Pei?"
"On the one hand, as the lord, it is impossible for him not to know about Pei's drowning of the child."
"On the other hand, based on the letter that is suspected to be left by Changshengtian, it seems that... Yang Yun and Pei Ji are the ones who secretly colluded."
"If Mrs. Pei and Pei Ji are really the same species, why did Mrs. Pei pay the price with her life, leaving Pei Ji with no bones left and her soul scattered? How much hatred is this?"
"Is it really because of Pei Ji's indifferent attitude when Pei's child died?"
Liang Jiunan shook his head:
"Hard to say."
"Master Pei Ji has the fewest clues. There are no other channels to confirm it, so let's put it aside for now."
"As for Yang Yun... Judging from her own words, the words of her maids and servants, and her letters, her personality and reputation seem to be completely contradictory."
Yu Langya's eyebrows moved: "Logically speaking, there is no need for the maid and servant to speak ill of Yang Yun after Pei's death."
Liang Jiunan said, "It's hard to say. Don't forget, these maids and servants all came after Mr. Pei married Mr. Pei. Servants often don't have many reasons to protect their master."
Looking at the dense information on the paper, Yu Langya had a headache:
"It's been a long time since I've encountered such a complicated case."
"From the testimony of both parties, the real point of conflict is Pei and Yang Yun."
"Based on Mrs. Pei's memory and the confessions of the maids and servants, Yang Yun's reputation is very bad."
"Based on the letter in Yang Yun's room, Pei Ji and Yang Yun collaborated and conspired."
"But according to Yang Yun's testimony, she was forced to marry Pei Ji."
"Nine Difficulties, how do you plan to investigate next?"
Liang Jiunan thought for a while and gave two options.
"First of all, it's the Feng Shui array of this ancestral hall."
"Assuming that Yang Yun is the culprit, then this Feng Shui formation must be a trap. It is also a good idea for us to use it as a trap."
"If Yang Yun is really framed."
"Then through this Feng Shui formation, we should also be able to know some clues. For example, what is the relationship between the Mohist method and the color-tie craftsman's method, as well as this Feng Shui lineage."
"Secondly, let's start with Yang Yun's parents!"
Yu Langya reacted:
"Do you think that at such an important juncture, they missed the Feng Shui master? It seems that they... deliberately concealed it?"
"Furthermore, judging from Yang Yun's testimony just now, she seems to be surprised."
"It's as if... this Feng Shui master was prepared by her parents early in the morning."
Liang Jiunan tapped the table gently and thought for a moment:
"At night, we secretly went to the ancestral hall to see what happened."
"Anyway, we can't wait until daytime!"
"The matter at Yang Family Villa should be handled as quickly as possible!"
