Chapter 33 Gate of Resentment

  When Lin You arrived at the old man’s yard, it was relatively late. Her yard itself was far away, and the notification was not timely enough. Therefore, she didn’t see the old man’s body, but she saw aunt Xu, who hadn’t appeared in this period of time. 

    She saw her face covered in tears, crying out of breath, and it seemed that she was really sad about the death of the old man. As for the other people, who doesn’t know what the situation is, although their faces are solemn, they are not as emotionally exposed as the aunt’s.

    Of course, this wasn’t the thing that surprised Lin You the most. What surprised Lin You the most was that this guy, Qu Zile, actually… didn’t even let the NPCs go.

    In between, Aunt Xu was crying while holding Qu Zile’s hand, and Qu Zile was also wiping her tears with a handkerchief. The way he spoke softly and persuaded her, she really couldn’t see his original venomous character.

    Lin You just glanced at it, but didn’t look any further. These are not the most important things, the most important thing is… Yesterday, the old man was fine, why did he die?

    This Xu family really, people die day by day.

    Lin You was a little upset. On the way here, even if she concentrated on her journey, she found out that something was wrong with the Xu family’s servants.

   Their looks are not as fresh as yesterday and the day before yesterday, but each one is a little bit similar to the walking dead at night. This made Lin You feel uneasy.

    After all, Lin You’s identity is also a lady of Xu family, so she still has a place to sit when she arrives. The position in front of her was Bai Xue, who looked uneasy, but there was no one from the second family, and she didn’t know what was going on. The third room was still as dull, and the younger generation of their family was not present.

    Sitting in the main seat was an uncle who Lin You had never seen before. His complexion was pale and the bruises under his eyes were heavy, and he looked unhealthy.

    “Cough, everyone understands the matter of the old man.”

    No one spoke below, they all looked at him, waiting for him to continue.

    “Our Xu family, this kind of thing happened one after another, I, I really…” Speaking of which, the uncle seemed to be out of breath, and he was patted on the back by the eldest lady and drank a few sips of tea before continuing to speak. .

    “The Xu family is in a troubled season right now.” The uncle looked at Bai Xue and Lin You, “You may not be well entertained. For the safety of the female relatives, the two nieces should not go out.”

    Lin You sighed, this is the solution you yourself came up with? With this thought in mind, Lin You nodded timidly and did not defy it.

    Bai Xue hurriedly nodded her head again, she hadn’t been out much in the past two days, and her confinement didn’t have much effect on her.

    It seemed that the two of them were called to come, and that was the case. The uncle said some things, and then he waved to someone to send Lin You and Bai Xue back, and did not want to talk any more.

    What surprised Lin You was that she thought that the uncle sent these outsiders away so that the family could shut the door and talk, but not only were they invited out, but the aunt from the Xu family was also invited out. .

    The reason given by the uncle is as follows:

    “Although she is divorced, she is a married woman after all. It is not easy for the younger sister to interfere in the affairs of the Xu family.” The uncle’s words are put here, but the aunt of the Xu family is not so easy to sway, she pushed away the hand of the maid who was going to support her, and with the strength of Qu Zile, she stood up.

    “Father’s bones are still cold, so my brother can’t wait to reject me?” Aunt Xu flicked her sleeves, “Hmph, if it wasn’t for me back then, I really don’t know if your lineage would be able to live.”

    These words were a bit heartbreaking, the whole main hall was silent, the uncle seemed to be angry, and roared:

    “Live? Xu Lerong needs to understand, it’s just an exchange of equal value you made! Cough cough cough”

    “I, I don’t owe you anything!”

    The aunt was about to reply, but the eldest lady of the Xu family spoke coldly:

    “What are you waiting for? The great aunt is being stimulated by the death of her grandfather, so why don’t you take the great aunt to her room!” 

In the future, the eldest Xu f will be the head of the house. After listening to the words of the future headmistress, soon as those maids rushed up, they suppressed Aunt Xu and took them out the door.

    Lin You looked at the faces of the couple in the main room, and knew that it was not easy for her to follow the past to check the situation. If something like this happened, the Xu family’s guard would naturally be much stricter.

    When Lin You went out, she caught sight of Luo Qing and Liu Qishan among the servants of the Xu family. Without make up, their appearance was too vivid among the dead servants. As for Fang Nian, Lin You didn’t see him, and didn’t know what he did.

    With Qu Zile in mind, Fang Nian, who was exchanging information again, was taken by the servants of the Xu family, saying that he would not disturb him, but he was actually sent back to the guest room on the ground floor.

    The aunt’s side of the Xu family was also sent back. As soon as they arrived at the aunt’s yard, the servants sent the aunt to the main room and turned around to lock the door of the small courtyard.

    Bai Xue was also locked inside, but she was afraid of getting into any trouble. She rolled her eyes and went back to the house immediately. It seemed that she didn’t want to worry about the weird and bad things outside.

    Qu Zile, don’t know what means he used, was ignored all the way. He noticed Bai Xue’s movement and unconsciously compared the girl to Lin You, and sighed and threw the thought away.

    Even if it is to give advice or help, Qu Zile also thinks that his actions are useful, and Bai Xue is obviously not worth his investment.

    …

    Aunt Xu herself is very old in this era, and she is usually well-maintained and does not look old, but she cried so much before and was so embarrassed. When she was sent back, she looked grim, with blue veins on her neck, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes clearly appeared on her face.

    “I’m a great hero of the Xu family.”

    “You can’t treat me like this.”

    “No, you can’t…”

    Qu Zile heard what the great aunt of the Xu family was talking about. He raised his eyebrows and squatted down to look at her. His eyes were at the same level as his aunt’s grandmother:

    “Lerong, are you alright?”

    He said as if he had broken some magic spell.

    “Acheng, I’m sorry, I was wrong, can you take me away?”

    “I’m sorry, Acheng, I couldn’t help it either.”

    …

    Listening to auntie Xu’s rambling about how sorry she is, Qu Zile showed a playful smile. He remembered that the short-lived ghost that the aunt of the Xu family married before had the word “city” in his name.

    The aunt of the Xu family was not very well married back then. She married a commoner scholar. Later, the scholar was short-lived, and the man did not have any relatives or friends in the family.

    but!

    The above operations, Qu Zile feels that there is no problem. But the child brought back by the aunt died soon after. Before he died, the old man of the Xu family kindly changed the child’s surname to “Xu”.

    It’s really meaningful, and after returning to the Xu family, the aunt of the Xu family, who should have been honest and tucked her tail between her tails, became strangely talkative. And there is a question of a bad reputation .

    Qu Zile was originally in the outer courtyard yesterday, but the aunt of the Xu family actually went to the outer courtyard yesterday, and flirted with a small butler openly. Qu Zile looked at how the servants of the Xu family were not surprised, and he had a thought in his heart.

    After touching his face, Qu Zile, who was very confident in his appearance, swayed around in front of the aunt, and soon became the object of the aunt’s pursuit.

    Qu Zile, whose mission is on Aunt Xu’s body, naturally did not refuse Aunt Xu’s pursuit, but took advantage of the situation to investigate.

  He had to say that the identity of a lover is still very useful. From the mouth of the aunt of the Xu family, Qu Zile got a lot of news. This aunt of the Xu family has no brains, has an impulsive personality, and is very easy to talk to.

    Of course, there are some not so good places. For example, about the black spot about the aunt of the Xu family, whether it is the aunt of the Xu family or other maids and servants, they are silent in front Qu Zile.

    No way, Qu Zile had to ask Fang Nian and others to exchange information. Luo Qing and Liu Qishan were both servants. Luo Qing was also very eloquent, but he brought Qu Zile a lot of information about this aunt of the Xu family.

    For example, after this aunt of the Xu family returned to her parents’ home, she gave birth several times.

    Where have those children gone?

    Qu Zile naturally knows, so in his opinion Xu Lerong, the aunt of the Xu family, is a poisonous widow who can even take advantage of her own children. Even if she is crying in front of Qu Zile now, Qu Zile will not be soft-hearted towards her. .

    “Okay, I’ll take you away.” Qu Zile helped her up and walked into the room. Vaguely, Qu Zile sensed the sight of the old maids in the yard who were serving the aunts of the Xu family, and sneered in her heart.

    It seems that whether it is in the copy or in real life, there are always those who see the wind and the rudder.

    Qu Zile was the lover of Aunt Xu’s, and no one said anything wrong when she was sent indoors, but as soon as she got close to the bed, Qu Zile knocked Aunt Xu unconscious with a knife.

    He was impatient to coax the poisonous widow, so he lifted the aunt directly to the bed, and Qu Zile started rummaging in her boudoir, but he still said,

    “Lerong, take a rest.”

    “Lerong is fine. , It’s alright, I’m here.”

    …

    Qu Zile was light-handed, but it didn’t take long for him to find what he wanted. A box full of jewelry and women’s gadgets.

    Of course, it’s not that these jewelry and gadgets are so strange, the key is that Qu Zile can see at a glance that these things don’t belong to the aunt of the Xu family.

    These are all things of girls’ families, and the aunt of the Xu family has long been a woman. Of course, things are a bit outdated, you can also say that they are the personal belongings of the aunt of the Xu family when she was young.

    But from the observation of the past two days, Qu Zile also has some understanding of the aunt of the Xu family. She doesn’t like those simple and elegant hairpin rings and head flowers, she just likes gorgeous styles.

    For example, her headdress must be a peony pattern, except for peony, she doesn’t like anything else. Where will those little styles of lotus and plum blossoms be preserved? Unless it means something special to her.

    Of course, these are just some of the factors that affect Qu Zile’s judgment. The key point is that a female private thing is pressed on the bottom of the box, with a dim name embroidered on it.

    Xu Leqi.

    The author has something to say:

    This is the perspective of Qu zile, because Lin You’s mission is only a branch, and it is impossible for everyone to get all the situation of the Xu family from her perspective alone, so other people’s perspectives are opened~
