“How would we, servants, know about such things?”

The maidservant lowered her head and shook her head, knowing what should be said and what should not be said.

Li lingsu stood up and left the bed. She walked to the table and placed her hands on it. Leaning forward, she looked down at the little maidservant in an aggressive posture. The corners of her mouth curled up.

“Little girls are only likable if they are obedient and well-behaved.”

Du Juan’s face flushed red. She lowered her head, not daring to look li lingsu in the eye.

“I, I only know a little. Ye, you have to promise not to disclose this, otherwise this servant will be miserable.”

His eyes were bright like the stars, his facial features were handsome, and his temperament was extraordinary … As long as it’s a young girl in love, who can resist my charm?

Li lingsu sighed as if she was in a high place.

“Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone.”

He promised with a smile.

“The young miss” relationship with master is naturally excellent, but the young miss doesn’t seem to be willing to marry into the Huangfu clan. She has repeatedly begged master and even refused to eat for a few days.”

Chai LAN wasn’t willing to marry into the Huangfu clan, and in order to resist, she even went on. hunger strike … Li lingsu furrowed her brows tightly, wondering why Xing ‘er didn’t tell her about this.

“Then, what about the relationship between the young miss and Chai Xian?” Li lingsu muttered.

“As close as brother and sister.” Du Juan said.

“Between them, is there, um, any affection between men and women?” Li lingsu probed.

“How. how did this servant know …” Du Juan said awkwardly.

He then asked about the relationship between the core members of the chai family, and when he asked about the relationship between Chai Xing ‘er and

Chai Jianyuan, Du Juan said, ”

“Aunt and the head of the family had some conflicts before,”

Li lingsu narrowed her eyes and said calmly, ‘”‘0h? Tell me what happened in detail.”

Du Juan hesitated for a moment before saying, ‘

“That was many years ago. The previous son-in-law’s surname was Liu, and the Liu family and the chai family were family friends for generations. The son-in-law then married into the chai residence. Later on, the son-in-law and the head of the family encountered an accident when they went out and did not return alive.

but I heard that there’s an inside story behind the young master’s death. Aunt and the master had a big fight …

She paused and did not continue.

Speaking up to this point, it was already too much. Moreover, as a servant girl, she didn’t know the specific details.

Xing ‘er’s ex-husband’s death was strange? This … Why didn’t I hear about it when I was dating her … Li lingsu furrowed her brows.

He immediately thought it through. Of course, no one would mention his aunt’s ex-husband in front of him, the new love of his aunt from the chai family.

“Thank you for telling me, Lady Du Juan!”

Li lingsu’s warm smile was comparable to a central air-conditioner. In the cold winter, it made the young maidservant feel comfortable and her face flushed.

After sending off the servant girl named Du Juan, li lingsu returned to her room and lay on her bed, trying to grasp the truth of the matter in the confusion.

Since Chai LAN wasn’t willing to marry into the Huangfu family, if I were Chai Xian, I would have just eloped with her …

How did Xing ‘er’s ex-husband die? It seemed to be related to Chai Jianyuan? Otherwise, why would the two of them have such a big fight … In addition to the biggest beneficiary, she had another motive for killing.

Li lingsu sighed and sat up, planning to go to the inn and tell Xu Qian about the news she had found out.

seriously, I can totally investigate on my own. Although Xu Qian’s cultivation is high, it doesn’t mean that he can investigate. Who does he think he is? Xu Qi

Li lingsu mumbled, but she did not give up on the idea of reporting the news to the old man.

The capital, Xu Manor.

In the inner hall where the charcoal fire was burning, Auntie was peeling an orange and said, ‘

‘When you go to the Wang Fu in a few days, you must Imow your place. You

can’t let the Furens and women of the Wang Fu look down on you, do you understand?”

As she spoke, she raised her head and looked away from the orange to the young girl who was waiting to eat it.

“I’m talking about you!”

“All you know is to eat, eat, eat, and eat all day,” Auntie said unhappily. I’ll send you to the Directorate of Celestials to learn sooner or later.”

Today, she was wearing a long coat with cloud patterns and a dark-colored crumpled long dress. Her exquisite hair was decorated with a Jade hairpin and a golden buyao. She was dignified and beautiful. At first glance, she had the style of a rich lady.

Of course, those who were familiar with her aunt knew that she was just an embroidered pillow with a golden exterior.

“Okay, okay, that way I can play with sister Caiwei.”

Xu lingying, who had her hair in a bun, said happily.

What she really wanted to say was that sister Cai Wei had a lot of money and could always buy all kinds of delicious food.

However, she was no longer the Xu lingying of the past. Now, now …

“Mother, how old am I now?”

Xu Ling asked loudly.

The aunt ignored her and turned to Xu lingyue.

“But you can’t be bullied, do you know? in a high and influential family like the Wang Residence, none of the madams inside are easy to get along with. You’re weak and won’t say a word when you’re bullied.

“If you’re bullied, look for simu. In any case, you have to know your limits, understand? Oh right, the eldest and second young masters of the Wang family had siblings who were about the same age as Ling Ying. Children had the most headaches and couldn’t be explained clearly … Don’t let lingying beat them up.” “Yes, mother,” Xu lingyue replied.

Xu Erlang and the young lady of the Wang family were going to be engaged, and there was a need for some etiquette between the two families. As the matriarch of the family, her aunt definitely couldn’t show her face casually. It didn’t suit her status.

Thus, the communication between the women was left to the sisters, lingyue and lingying.

However, Auntie was worried. She was a beautiful and intelligent woman, but other than the promising Erlang, her other two daughters were barely satisfactory.

Xu lingyue was too weak and was a punching bag who spoke softly. Xu lingying wasn’t very smart and was a silly girl.

Aunty was afraid that they would be bullied by the Wang family if they went to the Wang Residence.

This wasn’t her aunt’s groundless worry. The Wang family was a prestigious and influential family, so their sense of superiority was very strong. The young lady of the Wang family marrying Erlang was a marriage of lower status. How much did the women of the Wang clan think of the Xu clan?

Although it was not to the extent of making a bad face, there would be a lot of hidden needles in cotton.

With Xu lingyue’s weak personality …

His aunt sighed in disappointment.

She stopped thinking about these things and complained, ” yang qianhuan is your big brother’s acquaintance. I wrote a letter to him asking the Directorate of Celestials to take Ling Ying as a disciple, but he still hasn’t given me an answer.

Xu lingyue peeled an orange and said, “mother, the Directorate of Celestials has already given us an answer.” I received a letter yesterday and forgot to tell you.”

His aunt’s eyes lit up and she was pleasantly surprised. “What did the

Directorate of Celestials say?”

“Senior brother yang said that lingying is very talented and he can’t teach her,” Xu lingyue said in a soft voice. He introduced Ling Ying to the supervisor, but the supervisor ignored him and didn’t even let him go on the eight trigrams stage. ”

It was because of lingying’s talent!

Aunty felt much better, and after thinking about it, she felt that it was better to let her cultivate with Lina first.

Even now, her aunt had given up the idea of starting as a child. She looked forward to Erlang and the young lady of the Wang family getting married soon and giving her a granddaughter.

His own Smurf was useless, so he could only look forward to his son’s Smurf.

Thinking of this, her aunt showed a relieved expression.

“Simu’s talent is not bad and she is intelligent. Although she is a female, she is well read. Erlang is also a young scholar. Their children in the future will definitely be smart.”

As she spoke, she raised her hand. On her snow-white and slender wrist was a pair of emerald green bracelets.

“This bracelet was given to me by your father when I married him. Say that it was passed down from your grandmother. Mother-in-law passed away early and couldn’t pass it to her daughter-in-law, so she entrusted the bracelet to him and asked him to hand it to his daughter-in-law when they get married in the future.”

The aunt recalled her youth and smiled.”ln the future, I’ll pass it on to simu.

Hmm, I’ll only give one. The other one will be given to eldest brother’s wife.”

“Wow, it’s so beautiful.”

Xu Ling extended his chubby little hand. “Mother, let me see, let me see.”

The aunt still doted on her daughter. She took off the bangle and handed it over, saying, “”Be careful, don’t break it.”

As they were talking, Xu Pingzhi entered the inner hall with his armor and a long knife at his waist.

Xu Pingzhi was now a thousand-man commander of the Imperial saber guard. He held a high position and had great power. He had become a new noble in the capital’s five guards. Although he did not have a title of nobility, ordinary noble people had to be respectful when they saw him.

His aunt sniffed and frowned,”why did you buy green oranges again?” There’s sweet stuff at home.”

“I like to eat sour things recently.”

His nephew and son were not around, but Xu Pingzhi was lying without a

change in expression.

At this time, he saw the bracelet on his daughter’s wrist. He was shocked.

“Why did you give her the family heirloom bracelet? what if it’s broken?”

Xu Ling raised her chubby little hand and showed off. “Father, look, what do I look like?”

“Like what?”

Xu Pingzhi asked subconsciously.

“Doesn’t she look like your mother?” Xu linging asked in a crisp voice.

. Xu Pingzhi glanced at her, silently put down his helmet, and picked up his scabbard.

Xu lingying’s wailing echoed throughout the Xu Manor.

Chai Manor.

Li lingsu left the room and passed through the courtyard. She saw the residence’s disciples with solemn expressions. Each of them was armed with a saber and was guarding the corridors, courtyards, and other entrances.

“What happened?”

He asked a disciple of the chai Manor.

“Last night, a thief broke into the cellar.”

The disciple surnamed Chai said in a deep voice.

Underground cellar … Li lingsu was at a loss. Then, another disciple beside her explained, ‘

“The cellar is a place to store undeads.”

In Chai Manor’s side business, there was a corpse-driving business, and the cellar was used to store corpses. In addition, some corpses had other uses. For example, after the disciples of the chai Manor reached the crown, they could take a walking corpse from the cellar to be used as a puppet.

Branch family descendants could only receive ordinary corpses, while direct descendants could receive bloody corpses. Bloody corpses were refined by their seniors, and the lowest combat strength was at the spirit refinement realm.

If he could refine the blood corpse into an iron corpse, then he would have reached a higher level in the art of corpse controlling.

The iron corpse’s strength and defense were comparable to a rank-6 martial artist in the bronze skin and iron bone boundary, but its combat strength was slightly weaker. After all, it did not have the Qi activity and the premonition of danger that was trained in the spirit-refinement realm.

Xu Qian said that Chai Xian invaded the cellar last night to look for Chai Lan’s body … Chai Xian suspects that Chai LAN is already dead.”

Li lingsu immediately changed her mind. She was not in a hurry to find Xu Qian. After asking for the location of the cellar, she turned and left.

Not long after, he arrived at a secluded courtyard in the inner courtyard.

This place was guarded by a dozen disciples of the chai residence, blocking his path.

“Young master Li, this is the restricted area of the chai Manor, you can’t go in,” “How dare you block my son-in-law’s way?” li lingsu frowned and said unhappily.

He pushed the crowd aside and strode into the courtyard.

The disciples of Chai Manor looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

Walking down the stairs, they arrived at the underground cellar. Li lingsu immediately covered her nose. “It’s so smelly.”

Soon, he saw rows of corpses that looked like unmoving statues.

“That old man Xu Qian must love this place.” Li lingsu muttered.

He had stayed in the southern border Gu clan for a while, he knew what the corpse Gu clan’s Gu Masters were like.

Li lingsu tapped her glabella, and her pupils instantly faded. Her vision immediately changed. These corpses were not pure walking corpses, and their earth souls were tightly bound to their physical bodies.

It was as silent as still water.

However, as long as they were awakened in the right way, they would become Warriors who knew no pain and were fearless of death.

In the southern border’s Gu clan, the beast taming heart Gu clan, the corpse Gu clan, and the invisible poison Gu clan had always been the most troublesome existences.

He walked in with large strides, and after a few minutes, he finally saw a living person. A few Chai clansmen were standing guard in front of a wooden door.

The wooden door was half-open, and the candlelight seeped out from inside.

A cellar within a cellar? What was inside? Li lingsu approached but was once again blocked.

“Who’s outside?”

Chai Xing ‘er’s clear and cold voice came from the wooden door.

“It’s me,” he said. Li lingsu said.

After a moment of silence, Chai Xing ‘er said in a low voice, “Let him in,”
