Vol 2 Chapter 45: Deep in the cellar

"None of us know these things."
The little maid bowed her head and shook her head, knowing the truth about what should be said and what should not be said.
Li Lingsu got up and left the bed, walked to the table, leaned forward with his hands on the tabletop, and looked down at the little maid in an aggressive posture, with the corners of his mouth provoked:
"Little girl has to be obedient and cute to be likable."
Du Juan's small face flushed suddenly, lowered his head, not daring to look directly at Li Lingsu, weak and weak:
"Yes, just know a little bit. Lord, you have to promise not to reveal it, otherwise the slave and maid will be miserable."
The eyes are bright, like stars, handsome features, extraordinary temperament... But whoever is a girl who is pregnant, who can resist my charm!
Li Lingsu let out a cold sigh.
"Don't worry, I won't disclose it."
He smiled and promised.
"The relationship between the eldest lady and the master is very good, but the eldest lady does not seem to be willing to marry the Huangfu family. She has pleaded with the master many times and went on a hunger strike for a few days."
Chai Lan didn't want to marry Huangfu's family. In order to resist, she even went on a hunger strike... Li Lingsu frowned and said to her heart why Xinger didn't tell me this. .
"Then, what about the relationship between the eldest lady and Chai Xian?" Li Lingsu asked pensively.
"As close as brothers and sisters." Du Juan said.
"Between them, is there, um, the love between men and women?" Li Lingsu tentatively asked.
"Well, how does this servant know..." Du Juan asked embarrassedly.
He then asked about the relationship between several key members of the Chai family. When asked about the relationship between Chai Xing'er and Chai Jianyuan, Du Juan said:
"Aunt and Patriarch had conflicts before."
Li Lingsu squinted his eyes and said calmly, "Oh? Tell me in detail what's going on."
Dujuan hesitated and said:
"That happened many years ago. The ex-uncle's surname was Liu, and the Liu family and the Chai family were family friends. Later, the Liu family fell into disarray. My uncle joined the Chai Mansion. Later, my uncle and the Patriarch encountered an accident when they went out and failed to live. come back.
"But I heard that my uncle's death seemed to have an inside story, and my aunt and the head of the family had a big quarrel..."
She paused, and did not continue.
Speaking of this, the line is already very close, and she is not clear about the specific inside story.
Is it strange that Myolie’s ex-husband died? This, during the time when she and I were on good terms, how come I have never heard of...Li Lingsu secretly frowned.
He immediately figured it out. Of course, everyone would not mention his aunt's ex-husband in front of his aunt Chai’s new love.
"Thank you girl Cuckoo for telling it!"
Li Lingsu showed a warm smile comparable to that of a central air conditioner, and in the cold winter season, the little maid comforted her body and her cheeks were pink.
After sending the maid named Cuckoo away, Li Lingsu returned to the room and fell on the bed, trying to grasp the truth of the incident in the chaotic fog.
Chai Lan is unwilling to marry Huangfu's family. If I were Chai Xian, I would just elope with the other person.
How did Myolie's ex-husband die? It seems to be related to Chai Jianyuan? Otherwise, why did the two quarrel with each other... In addition to the biggest beneficiary, she had another motive for killing.
Li Lingsu sighed, turned over and sat up, planning to go to the inn and tell Xu Qian about the inquiries.
"Really, I can investigate it by myself. Although Xu Qian has a high level of cultivation, it does not mean that he will investigate the case. Who does he think he is, does Xu Qi'an?"
Li Lingsu murmured, but did not dispel the idea of ​​reporting the news to the bad old man.
.........
Capital, Xu Mansion.
In the interior room burning with coals, the aunt peeled oranges in her hand and said:
"When you go to the palace in a few days, you must understand the etiquette and peace, and you can't let the wife and the family members of the palace despise it, understand."
While speaking, she raised her head, looked away from the orange, and looked at the young girl around her who was waiting to eat the orange.
"I am talking about you!"
Auntie said in a bad mood: "I know how to eat all day long. Sooner or later I will send you to the Sitian Supervisor to study art."
Today, she wore a moiré embroidered jacket, matched with a dark pleated long skirt, in the delicate bun, embellished with hosta and golden step, dignified and beautiful, at first glance, very rich and expensive Woman's style.
Of course, anyone who is familiar with her aunt knows that she is an embroidered pillow besides gold and jade.
"Okay, OK, so I can play with Sister Caiwei."
Xu Lingyin, who was wearing a boy's hair bun, said happily.
What she really wants to say is that sister Caiwei has a lot of money and can always buy all kinds of delicious food.
But now she is not the same Xu Lingyin she used to be, now, now she is...
"Mum, how old am I now."
Xu Lingyin asked loudly.
The aunt ignored her, turned her head and said to Xu Lingyue:
"But you can't be bullied anymore, you know, for a big family like the Royal Palace, none of the ladies in it are friendly. You have a weak temper, and you won't say anything if you are bullied.
"If you are bullied, look for ambitions. Anyway, keep your feet on your own and know if you don't. By the way, the elder brother and sister of the prince's son and the second son are not much different in age from the sound of the bell. Children have the most headaches. The reason...Don't let the ringtone break people."
Xu Lingyue said, "I know, mother."
Xu Erlang and Ms. Wang's family want to make an appointment, and they need some etiquette walking between the two. As the mistress of the family, my aunt is definitely not allowed to show up casually, which does not fit her identity.
Therefore, the communication between the female family members was handed over to sisters Lingyue and Lingyin.
But my aunt is not at ease. I think she is a strange girl who combines beauty and wisdom. Except for the birth of a promising Erlang, the remaining two daughters are not satisfactory.
Xu Lingyue was too weak, she was a soft-spoken receiver, Xu Lingyin was not very smart, she was a stupid girl.
My aunt was afraid that they would go to the palace and be bullied by the royal family.
It's not that my aunt is unreasonably worried, a big family like Wangfu, who has a strong sense of superiority. Miss Wang's marriage to Erlang is completely married. How worthy of the Wang family's female family?
Although it wouldn't make a bad face, but the beating of the needle hidden in Mianli would come to mind.
With Xu Lingyue's weak temperament...
"Ugh!"
The aunt sighed with hatred for iron.
She stopped thinking about these incidents and complained: "That Yang Qianhuan, somehow met your eldest brother. I wrote to him to ask Si Tianjian to pick up the ringtone as a disciple, but he still didn't reply. "
Xu Lingyue peeled the orange and said, "Mother, Si Tianjian has already answered. I forgot to tell you the letter I received yesterday."
Auntie's eyes lit up and she was pleasantly surprised: "What did Sitianjian say?"
Xu Lingyue said in a low voice, "Senior Brother Yang said that Lingyin is so talented that he cannot teach him. He introduced Lingyin to Jianzheng, but Jianzheng ignored him and even refused to let him go to the gossip platform."
It turned out to be because of the unusual talent of ringtones!
Auntie felt much better, and after thinking about it, she thought it was better to let her practice with Lina first.
To this day, my aunt has given up on the idea that everyone should start from the doll, and looks forward to the early marriage of Erlang and Miss Wang and give her a granddaughter.
My own account is not useful, and I can only look forward to my son's trumpet.
Thinking of this, my aunt showed a little relief:
"The yearning is very talented and intelligent. Although she is a woman, she reads poems and books. Erlang is also a scholar. In the future, their children will definitely be smart."
As she said, she raised her hand, and on her slender snow-white wrists were a pair of emerald green bracelets.
"This bracelet was given to me by your father when I married your dad. It is said that your grandmother passed it down. The mother-in-law left early, and she failed to pass it on to her daughter-in-law, so she entrusted the bracelet to him for the future. When you get married, hand it over to your daughter-in-law."
The aunt remembered her youth for a while, and smiled: "In the future, I will pass it on to Simu. Well, only one is given, and the remaining one is for Dalang's wife."
"Wow! So beautiful."
Xu Lingyin stretched out her chubby little hand: "Mother, show me, show me."
The aunt still spoiled the young girl very much, so she took off the bracelet and passed it over, exhorting: "Be careful, don't knock it out."
While talking, Xu Pingzhi entered the inner hall with his armor and a long knife around his waist.
Xu Pingzhi is now a thousand guards of swordsmen. He has a high position and great power. He has become an upstart among the five guards in the capital. Although there is no title, ordinary nobles must be respectful when they see him.
The aunt sniffed, and frowned, "Why did you buy green oranges again? There are sweet ones at home."
"I like to eat sour recently."
When his nephew and son were not there, Xu Pingzhi kept his eyes open and said nonsense.
At this moment, he saw the bracelet on the wrist of the young girl Xu Lingyin and was taken aback:
"Why did you give her the family bracelet? What if it breaks."
Xu Lingyin raised her chubby little hands and flaunted: "Father, look at me, what do you look like?"
"like what?"
Xu Pingzhi asked subconsciously.
Xu Lingyin said in a crisp voice: "Like your mother."
.......Xu Pingzhi glanced at her, silently put down his helmet and picked up the scabbard.
Xu Lingyin's cry resounded through Xu's house.
...........
Chai House.
Li Lingsu left the room and walked through the compound. He saw the man's son with serious faces, everyone wearing knives, guarding the corridors, courtyards and other entrances.
"What happened?"
He approached a child of Chai Mansion and asked.
"A thief broke into the cellar last night."
The child surnamed Chai said solemnly.
The cellar... Li Lingsu was at a loss, and then listened to another kid on the side to explain:
"The cellar is where the walking dead are stored."
In Chai Mansion’s sideline business, there is the business of removing dead bodies, and the cellar is used to store dead bodies. In addition, some corpses have other uses. For example, the children of Chai Mansion and Crown Queen can receive a walking corpse from the cellar as a puppet.
The children of the collateral line can only receive ordinary corpses, and the direct line can receive the blood corpses. The blood corpses are refined by the seniors, and the lowest is the combat power of the refined realm.
If the blood corpse sacrifice can be made into iron corpses, then the corpse control can be regarded as entering the room.
The strength and defense of the iron corpse is comparable to a martial artist in the sixth-grade copper skin and iron bone realm, but its combat power is weaker.
"Xu Qian said that Chai Xian invaded the cellar last night and was looking for Chai Lan's body...Chai Xian suspected that Chai Lan was dead."
Li Lingsu immediately changed his mind. UU reading www.uukanshu.com was not in a hurry to find Xu Qian, and after clarifying the location of the cellar, he turned and left.
Not long after, he came to the inner courtyard to stretch out, a secluded courtyard.
A dozen disciples of the Chai Mansion blocked his way here.
"Young Master Li, this is the forbidden area of ​​Chai Mansion, you can't go in."
Li Lingsu frowned and said displeased: "Uncle, dare to stop the way?"
Push everyone away and step into the courtyard.
The Chai Mansion children looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
Going down the steps to the cellar, Li Lingsu immediately covered his nose: "It smells bad."
Soon, he saw rows of dead bodies, like motionless sculptures.
"That bad old man Xu Qian must like it very much," Li Lingsu muttered.
At any rate, he also stayed in the Southern Border Gu Clan for a period of time, knowing the virtues of the Gu Master in the Corpse Gu Department.
Li Lingsu knocked his eyebrows, his pupils faded in an instant, and his vision instantly changed. This corpse was not a pure walking corpse, and their earth souls were tightly bound in their flesh.
Just like immersed in stagnant water, silent.
But as long as they are awakened by a suitable method, they will become warriors who know no pain and fear death.
In the Southern Xinjiang Gu Clan, the Heart Gu Department of Imperial Beasts, the Corpse Gu Department that controls the corpse, and the Poison Gu Department that uses poison to invisible, have always been the most troublesome existence.
He strode in, and half a quarter of an hour later, he finally saw a living person, several Chai family children guarding a wooden door.
The wooden door was half open, with candlelight coming out of it.
The cellar in the cellar? What is stored in it? Li Lingsu moved closer, and was blocked again.
"Who is outside."
Chai Myolie's cold voice came from the wooden door.
"It's me." Li Lingsu said.
There was silence inside the door for a while, Chai Myolie whispered: "Let him in."
