In troubled times, the daughter-in-law returns

Chapter 38
Entering the Cardamom Courtyard, Sikong Ye went straight into Lan Kexin's room. At this moment, Lan Kexin was tied to the bedpost by Yu Ning with a piece of silk, staring at the void, muttering something.

When Yu Ning saw Sikong Ye coming, she hurriedly stood up and saluted. Sikong Ye stopped her pace when she entered the room without slowing down, and beckoned Yu Ning to come out, and asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?"

Yu Ning also looked confused, and said: "Young City Master, the girl was fine when she was going to sleep, but when she slept in the middle of the night, she suddenly yelled, saying that there was a big fire.

"At first, the servants thought it was the girl who was haunted in her sleep, so they didn't dare to disturb them, they just stood by, but gradually, the girl's voice changed, as if..." She secretly glanced at Sikong Ye, Then he continued, "It's like a different person... The slave felt that the matter was unusual, and she didn't dare to make decisions on her own, so she asked someone to invite the young city master and kicked out everyone else.

"The girl was just talking nonsense from the beginning, and when she opened her eyes later, she was still saying some inexplicable words, and occasionally she would go crazy. The servant had no choice but to tie her up..."

Sikong Ye's face was confused for a moment, followed by ecstasy, he pushed away Yu Ning and stepped inside, telling Gu An as he walked, "Quickly ask the Taoist priest!"

Yu Ning was even more baffled, Gu An gave her a wink and asked her to go out first, and he went over to say something, but met Sikong Ye's cold gaze, "Why, you don't listen to me gone?"

Gu An froze, didn't dare to say anything more, and quickly went to invite Taoist Master Tianxu who presided over the practice before.

Arriving outside the Cardamom Courtyard, she told Yu Ning, "I will leave all these people to you, and no mistakes will be allowed!"

Yu Ning hurriedly responded.

Gu An left in a hurry.

Not long after, they brought a small sedan chair with someone, and announced to the public that Lan Kexin had a nightmare and needed to calm down.

Daoist Tianxu is 69 years old this year. After the last attempt failed, he suffered a strong backlash, and his physical condition was not as good as before. That's why Gu An directly ordered someone to carry him over.

Sikong Ye personally guarded Lan Kexin, but he didn't have any physical contact with her.

Just now when everyone left, he heard Lan Kexin talking about the coldness and loneliness in a childish voice, and his heart throbbed.

He tried to communicate with that girl, but it seemed that two souls were imprisoned in the same body. The two souls could talk to each other, but it was impossible for the outside world to communicate with them.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, he immediately turned his head, stood up and personally helped Taoist Master Tianxu over, and described Lan Kexin's state with an unprecedented humble attitude.

Daoist Tianxu frowned, a little unbelievable, "Young City Master, the last practice did fail, the Horcrux did not accept another soul at all."

"This is impossible!" Sikong Ye was a little anxious, tugging at Taoist Priest Tianxu, and pointed at Lan Kexin, "There is evidence in front of me!"

Daoist Tianxu was staggered, and hurriedly said: "Young City Master, please be safe and don't be impatient, and let the poor Daoist do some calculations."

Only then did Sikong Ye calm down, and stepped aside.

Daoist Tianxu walked around Lan Kexin three times, pinching his fingers to calculate, the more he calculated, the more he frowned.

A quarter of an hour later, Daoist Tianxu turned to look at Sikong Ye, "Young City Master, even if you don't want to believe it, I will say it, Pindao..."

As soon as he said this, his body shook slightly, the look in his eyes disappeared instantly, and he fell forward.

Gu An quickly caught it with his hands and eyes, raised his hand to probe his nose, and then moved his hand to his neck, with an ugly expression on his face: "Young City Master, Daoist Master Tianxu, you have ascended."

Sikong Ye's face became a little irritable, "How could this be?!"

He used to pinch Taoist Priest Tianxu's people hard, but no matter how hard he pinched, Taoist Priest Tianxu didn't respond.

Gu An put Taoist Priest Tianxu on the ground, hugged Sikong Ye, and hurriedly said: "Young City Master, calm down! Taoist Priest Tianxu is indeed dead!"

Sikong Ye clenched his fists tightly, and the veins on the back of his hand bulged, "Gu An, we have been preparing for 11 years! It was so easy to find a Taoist priest with high morals, and he found a Horcrux according to the guidance of the Taoist priest, but now, tell me , is this Taoist dead?!"

Gu An didn't dare to let go, "Young City Master, please calm down! Daoist Tianxu himself doesn't want to die! He didn't even finish his sentence!"

Sikong Ye's irritable temper gradually calmed down, his arms shook, and Gu An was pushed away, then he stared at Gu An, "What do you mean by that?"

Gu An glanced at Lan Kexin, who was still immersed in that illusory world, and said in a low voice: "This subordinate thinks this is very strange, and should ask the master to inspect it for Taoist Master Tianxu."

Sikong Ye closed his eyes, "I will leave this matter to you, and I will stay here for a while."

Gu An took the order and asked someone to come in and cover the corpse with a white sheet, before quietly carrying it out.

Sikongye sat across from Lan Kexin, listening to her murmurs.

At the beginning, I could still hear clearly, it was clearly a conversation between Lan Kexin and a little girl. Lan Kexin's voice was gentle and considerate, and the little girl was innocent and sad.

But then the voice gradually became blurred, and nothing could be heard except that it was from two people.

In the end, Lan Kexin leaned against the bedpost and fell into a drowsy sleep.

Sikong Ye went over, untied the ribbon that bound her, gently laid her down, and then covered her with a quilt.

Just such a moment, I felt uncomfortable all over, rolled up my sleeves and looked, and there was a dense layer of rash on my arm.

He frowned, got up and left quickly.

He didn't know that just as he left, Lan Kexin, who had been sleeping on his back, opened his eyes, and his eyes were full of resentment.

Sikong Ye returned to his residence, took a shower and changed clothes, and took medicine again. Seeing that the rash on his body subsided, he returned to the Nutmeg Courtyard.

Lan Kexin really fell asleep this time.

Sikong Ye looked at her sleeping face from a distance, stretched out his hand to imitate her facial features, closed his eyes, and began to imagine what the little Xiao Yunqing would look like when he grew up.

Tiredness struck, and Sikong Ye, who hadn't had a good rest for several days, leaned on the chair and fell asleep in a daze.

Lan Kexin opened her eyes again, and immediately sensed that there was an extra person in the room. She immediately reached out and picked up Yu Ruyi next to the pillow, and pulled back the gauze curtain. Unexpectedly, it was Sikong Ye who greeted her eyes. Zhang Junmei has a tired face again.

She was taken aback. Could it be that he left and returned last night?

Seeing Sikong Ye still frowning slightly in his sleep, she felt a little distressed, got off to put on her shoes, hugged another quilt and walked over, intending to cover Sikong Ye.

But before she got close, Sikong Ye had already opened his eyes, those deep black pupils were full of cold light, showing indifference and alienation.
