The general manager and housekeeper, together with the elders and Zhong Wanling, followed the servants who came to report the news and drove away the crowd of onlookers.

Zhong Lin did not dare to let Zhong Wanling enter the house, and only asked her to wait outside and not come near. In fact, this small room was already fully occupied by several elders. Even if Zhong Wanling wanted to go in, it would be difficult to squeeze in.

This doesn't really make much sense. This is a structure with one door, one hall and one room. Once the door is opened, it is clear at a glance. After passing through the wide open door, you can see that the furnishings in the room are very simple. The New Year pictures praying for blessings on the walls and windows have been torn randomly, and something has been written and drawn with dark red liquid. The loyal old woman was wearing a bright red robe and hanging stiffly from the beam in the middle.

Through the gaps between people, Zhong Wanling could see the chaos in the room. The walls were painted with red and smelly liquid. She thought it was blood, and the words"injustice" and"hate" were written in messy handwriting. Words like"hatred" and"curse"

"What happened?"Someone covered their noses and asked.

Others were also confused. This nanny had a very high status in the Zhong family, and the Zhong family treated her well. How could she be so wronged and need to be redressed with death?

The housekeeper seemed to know But he hesitated and said nothing.

Zhong Lin stood at the end, holding a piece of blood-stained paper in his hand, and said dejectedly:"The reason is here"

"ah? What did you say? Zhong

Lin didn't want to read, he just raised his head and looked down at their corpses with bloodshot eyes hanging from the roof beams. He sighed with compassion and disgust:"What a loyal but stupid slave.""

The other elders didn't understand why. A rickety old man squeezed towards Zhong Lin, grabbed the paper from Zhong Lin's hand, and read:

"……The people of the Zhong family were ungrateful and killed the old lady and covered up the truth. I was born incompetent and had no way to redress my grievances and avenge my lord. May I turn into a ghost after death and curse the Zhong family’s wolf children to a bad death for generations to come!...Drag the descendants of the Zhong family into hell to avenge, avenge the blood! ?

Zhong Shi angrily crumpled the paper into a ball, threw it on the ground, and cursed:"This is unreasonable!" This is really unreasonable! A mere slave actually cursed his master for generations! ? It’s really a crime worthy of death!"

Zhong Shi was so angry that he immediately wanted to pull down the body of Grandma Li and trample on it to vent his hatred. Although the elders were also angry, they felt sorry for each other and took action to stop them.

"Okay, Zihou (Zhong Shi’s calligraphy), don’t do this! The servants are all outside watching!"

"yes! Death is a big deal, don't do this"

"It’s not appropriate to make a big fuss about this matter!"

"That's enough, don't let this embarrass you. Zhong Lin waved his hand to silence everyone, then raised his head and took a complex look at the body on the beam, and said:"It's okay to hang like this." Peace, go find some people and put her down. Instruct the housekeeper to let everyone outside disperse. His mouth was shut tightly."

Zhong He hurried out of the room. When passing by the small courtyard, he glanced at Zhong Wanling who was staying outside the room, shook his head helplessly, then hurried to the door and whispered a few words to the housekeeper guarding the door. The housekeeper bowed and nodded, and after a while he ordered a few people to come over. Two or three people went to the crowd of people watching at the door. Two young servants followed Zhong He and hurried back to the room. Mammy was hugged by the two young servants. Come down and lay flat on the ground

"She is determined to curse us to death! He actually hanged himself in red clothes. Is he afraid that he still had a child?"The voice sounded like Zhong Shi.

Zhong Wanling had heard of a rumor among the people that people who had been wronged and could not redress their grievances would wear red clothes and hang themselves in the middle of the night when the gloomy atmosphere is the heaviest. Their souls would not be separated, and they would turn into evil ghosts and be entangled in them forever. Someone who has a grudge against her.

There are many people who know this rumor, plus the letter, it will inevitably make people uneasy

"This... this is too cruel. Our Zhong family treats her very well! Why do you do this?"

"Yes, we didn’t kill the old lady, and it’s not so unjust to accuse a good person unjustly! She said it as if we had killed the mistress... This is so unreasonable!"

"That’s right, it’s really inexplicable and unreasonable!

Some people also showed fear."But, you can't reason with ghosts, right?""

"Hiss... she shouldn't be here now, right?"

At this time, you have to ask the Immortal Sect's spiritual vision expert. All the elders looked at Zhong Cheng. Zhong Cheng shook his head and sighed, but in the end he didn't say anything.

However, someone said what he wanted for him. the words said

"impossible. Zhong Shi said mockingly,"So much blood, so red, this must be chicken blood!" This woman must have asked for it from the kitchen to write, write these damn things... Those stupid slaves gave it to her without even asking. snort! How stupid, how stupid!"Zhong Shi was already very angry at Nanny Li's indiscriminate sacrifices and curses. She was overjoyed at this discovery and mocked with hatred:"Ha! Stupid minion! Didn’t you know that chicken blood has the effect of exorcising evil spirits? Ignorant and indiscriminate use of charlatanism and smearing all over the house, now I am afraid that I will be driven to pieces by these chicken blood!"

Some people breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.

Zhong Cheng frowned.

The other elders were shocked. After all, the one with the strongest spiritual vision of their generation was Zhong Cheng. Their hearts couldn't help but tighten, and they thought in unison: This person is still Is the leader of Bu Meng Pavilion seeing something ominous?

In front of Zhong Cheng, Zhong Shi was not very confident either."What?" has a problem?"

Zhong Cheng sighed, shook his head, and sighed again.

Zhong Shi cursed displeasedly:"You old boy, are you pretending to be so godly at this time?"

"alright! Stop making noise! Zhong Lin, who had been silent all this time, shouted, looking at the corpse at his feet, and asked:"Aunt Li is single and has no relatives, right?""

The steward bowed and nodded."Yes, she is always alone, and she doesn't usually interact with anyone. When chatting in the early years, I heard that she was an orphan who was sold into the palace at a young age. Later, she became her personal maid with the gift of the old lady. The surname Li was also given by the old lady. Zhong

Lin nodded, sighed, and said:"Then it's better to be cremated as soon as possible. Don't interfere with the old lady's funeral.""Looking at the ferocious expression of the corpse again, he frowned, bent down, and put his hands on the corpse's face, but the eyes that were so wide-eyed could not be closed.

All the elders in the room felt the same way. Surprised, looking at each other and whispering to each other

"Isn’t this a matter of dying with one’s eyes in peace?"

"this……"

"Qingcheng (Zhong Cheng’s word), is this person’s soul really gone?"

Zhong Cheng was also a little ashamed, and didn't know whether to shake his head or nod.

Zhong Shi pushed Zhong Lin away impatiently, and raised his hand to forcefully close Mammy's eyelids, but was suddenly tightly grasped by a white hand. Zhong Shi was startled. Zhong Wanling had entered the room at some point, holding Zhong Shi's skinny hand and looking at him coldly.

"Zhong Wanling! ?"

"Late orchid?!"

Zhong Wanling lowered his head and looked deeply at the old woman lying on the ground with her round, gray eyes looking particularly ferocious. Her expression was ferocious and distorted. She was not open like other hanging or strangled corpses. Instead, she clenched her teeth tightly, as if staring at her mortal enemy. Her expression was full of anger and resentment, as if her resentment was still stronger than the fear of suffocation and death.

Zhong Wanling had never seen anything like this before She even felt a little timid in her expression, but she couldn't look away."……Just let her be"

"You little girl!"Zhong Shi wanted to break away from Zhong Wanling's hand in displeasure, but although the girl's hand was small, it was unexpectedly strong and firm."You! Let go! Zhong Lin, look at your granddaughter! What words!"

Zhong Wanling turned a deaf ear to Zhong Shi's scolding. She closed her eyes and forcibly looked away. She raised her head and looked at Zhong Lin:"Mother Li is loyal. If she handles it rashly, it will chill people's hearts. Even more so. It’s hard to hide the long mouth at the foot of the mountain"

"But, she has her eyes open!"Someone said in fear

"My uncle was right. There was no ghost in this room, not even a trace of soul left."Zhong Wanling felt a little sour in her heart.

"But, how can I say this if others see it?……"

Zhong Wanling raised his head and looked around at the group of elders. Some were frightened, some were angry, some were distressed, and some were sighing.

"The Zhong family has no shame, why should they be afraid of other people's eyes, let alone the eyes of a dead person."

Zhong Lin looked at Zhong Wanling, and inexplicably felt that this girl had a shocking power. He once heard the old lady say that she looked like the head of the family. Zhong Lin had little memory of his father, and he only felt that his granddaughter was more like her. His mother, unknowingly, this girl not only resembled his temperament, but also her methods and courage in doing things, she became more and more like his mother."Wanlan, what do you suggest?"

Zhong Wanling let go of his hand and stepped aside.

Zhong Shi jumped up and turned around, wanting to scold this bastard who had no respect for his elders. But when he turned around and met Zhong Wanling's cold eyes, he was frightened again.I don’t know when this girl has such a strong aura. She is really a monster.

Zhong Wanling ignored Zhong Shi and bowed to Zhong Lin respectfully."Wan Lan thought that since grandma died as a martyr to her great-grandmother, although the Zhong family opposed the practice of burying her, it was a done deal. It was better to fulfill her wish and let her be buried with her great-grandmother after cremation."

"You are crazy! ? This bitch will curse us for generations to come! You actually want her to enter the ancestral grave! ?"Zhong Shi was so angry that he jumped up and down.

Zhong Wanling didn't even look at the rickety old man. He raised his voice and said:"Grandpa, you can tell the public that grandma was too sad because of the death of her master, and she hanged herself in a state of confusion. The Zhong family felt no shame. Although they did not agree with the burial, they thought of their grandma's loyalty to their master and allowed her to be buried together and continue to serve the old lady. This move should eliminate Shanxia's doubts about the death of his great-grandmother in one fell swoop. Even if it cannot completely dispel people's doubts, it can still make those who are interested have nothing to say."

Zhong Wanling spoke very quickly, and some elders couldn't even keep up with her thoughts.
